To further muddy the water we had Baldur’s Gate 3, which was made by an independent studio with AAA budget.

overload,

Yeah 100% I was getting this thought.

Not sure if “best” is the right word, but Joel’s death scene was so impactful, even when I knew he had it coming and had to happen.

Also, over a decade ago but inFamous 2 evil ending when you last encounter Zeke. Oof, what a gut punch!

A return to basics would be so much better than the rushed messes Game Freak puts out today.

Ledericas,

i believe masuda made it very clear at the beginning of the swsh announcment, said he was going to make a “half ass game going foward, simply becauses hes tired of the franchise”, thats why every game has been a joke since.

masuda needs to hand it to another company, or have someone revamp the console games.

JcbAzPx,

What else does Game Freak even make?

Ledericas,

when masuda split the pokemon dev team in half, he made another game, but i dont think it turned out well.

addie, do games w Developer interview: my Q&A with the Heroic Games Launcher team
@addie@feddit.uk avatar

Heroic has made me start buying games on GOG again.

I used to dual boot “Windows for games” and “Linux for work”, and would buy GOG in preference to Steam because I love what they do.

Got rid of Windows years ago because it’s more of a PITA than it’s worth, and basically went 100% Steam because Proton is so good.

Heroic is so awesome - better interface than Steam, in many ways - that GOG is back on the menu.

Awesome interview as well, @PerfectDark - a really interesting read.

Thank you for reading through! I was really proud of this one, and so grateful to the team that they took the time to take it so seriously.

And I’m so glad you’re back on the world of GOG. By far it is my preferred platform, I own so few games on Steam - but my GOG library is endless :)

Pixel art will always be great but…do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?

Elevator7009,

Nope, but fans would like one. If you don’t want one I don’t see what the problem is if you just disengage from the series.

SolarPunker, (edited )

So I cannot critique the idea because some fan would like this? I don’t see your point here, I’m interested in videogame as art, not to commercial success.

We also already know what fans bring to creator, look at Netflix series…people don’t really know what they want.

Elevator7009, (edited )

I read your comment less as critique and more as “fucking fans who like Pokémon” but I have a history of confusing harsh tone for a negative “you can’t like this thing, because I think there is too much of it” attitude.

Also, your original comment only says “do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?” It’s a statement of you not wanting to see another Pokémon game, but besides making a reach and guessing you think they are producing too many too fast, taking a quantity over quality approach, or that the series has reached its end by now and is being overplayed, it does not provide any actual critique of them. Not even a “the [specific thing in game] is awful” with no more elaboration. So I do not really see critique of ideas, just a statement of dislike.

SolarPunker,

You’re guessing right, that was the critique, a statement can be a way to critique.

I love them if they’re done right. Bethesda and CDPR do it right every time. I do really enjoy Ubisoft’s open worlds back in the day, such as the old AC games (Rogue and before), Watch Dogs games, etc. Of course, RDR2 is also a masterpiece in this design. You mentioned Days Gone and I enjoy that one too, it’s designed in a way that doesn’t feel exhaustive.

Problem is, because of the scope of the games, it tends to take too much time. If the devs don’t make the exploration and side activities fun and worthwhile, it’s easy to lose steam and get burned out.

I do find some of them great for killing time, though. I’ll sometimes load up Watch Dogs 2 and free roam, do multiplayer activities, hunt down collectibles as I listen to cybersecurity podcasts. Same with RDR2 if I’m listening to podcasts about America or traditionalism.

I hope it reaches the finish line. I have many old games in my catalogue, and would like my future games to still exist some 20 years from now.

comically_cluttered, (edited ) do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

Used to be my thing, but not really anymore.

Haven’t been super interested for a while. Occasionally I’ll find one that stands out, but I’m not out here looking for it anymore. I’ll take a tightly crafted linear game over that any time.

Usually, if I play open world games now, it’s a “point A to point B” situation. I don’t explore the entire world unless I’m really taken with it, and even then I’ll lose interest after a while. (And if there’s no fast travel or some equivalent in-game method to traverse across the map instantly, I very likely won’t bother.)

What I do enjoy, though, are kind of “open zone” games.

A lot of immersive sims fall into this category of “wide open levels, separated by narrative chapters”. Think Dishonored or Deus Ex.

I like that approach as opposed to “here’s everything, go anywhere”.
