The game looks super cool- why wouldn’t they list it? Is horror off limits now too?

hal_5700X,

Some in-game graffiti made fun of the CCP. theverge.com/…/gog-devotion-cancels-release-cd-pr…

carl_dungeon,

Oh Christ, that’s ridiculous.

SL3wvmnas,

Red Candle Games said that “in the aftermath of the incident, some still possess different speculations about Devotion. As regretful as the incident was, we have to bear its full consequence.

I don’t know if this was an honest mistake, but… 😂

Karyoplasma,

It’s grammatically correct, so maybe just a little jab towards Winnie the Ping.

SL3wvmnas,

Uh yeah, was referring to a possible translation problem, or maybe not. Either way I chuckled and hopefully you did, too.

GandalftheBlack,

How is that a mistake?

SL3wvmnas,

Well, maybe it got lost in translation, but maybe not… either way I chuckled.

TachyonTele,

Bear and bare are the same grammatically.

Hadriscus,

Bare, as a verb, means “to reveal”. en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/bare To bear is absolutely what they meant to write

TachyonTele,

That's cool.
Doesn't change the facts that bare and bear can be used interchangeably.

That is not a fact, at all.

For me Just Cause 4 is the worst one for too many reasons to list. Also, I'm still not sure about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but that could have a lot to do with not being ready to play a middle aged, yolked Henry lol

(Edit: Oh and Sniper Elite 6 seems like a contender too. Although SE5 was very poorly received at the beginning until they fixed the issues and then it turned into one of the most awesome games ever so who knows...)

Zahille7,

4 was janky, and jumped the shark too many times in the story.

But damn did I have a fun time playing it. The weather guns are stupid, but they’re fun. Just like the jetpack and weather guns from the DLC for 3. We’re not playing these games for realism; at least I’m not. I wanna glide around over a base and bomb the shit out of it and watch everything explode.

@Novamdomum@fedia.io avatar

100% agree which also leads to one of the biggest disappointments in JC4 for me; re-spawning enemies... It was so satisfying to conquer bases in JC3 and you knew that was it then. That base belonged to the rebellion for good. Also they changed Rico's ethnicity and bodyshape. Here's the hero you love except he's South American now and his muscles are gone. He's meant to be an ironic cliche "Thees could be traaable". That was the whole point. It was fun. I think the thing that ticked me off the most though was that all they had to do was make a graphically updated clone of JC3 with another land to fight over and they could have spawned an endless amount of sequels. I've played through JC3 so many times and the second that Firestarter soundtrack comes on it's just so. damn. perfect 😎🍷

FlihpFlorp,

Came in here looking for just cause

I got 2 on my Xbox 360 as a hand me down from a family friend in maybe early 2010s cus I also got oblivion from them and remember looking up guides and Skyrim stuff popping up left and right for

Anyways I have 240 in jc3 and find it just fun. And then I have 130 hours in 4

Ngl give me a small graphic upgrade, give me the ammo economy and wingsuit of 3 as well as a new map and I’d be happy

I followed this game like crazy even pre ordering (lesson learned) some upgrade edition that was later released as dlc so yeah I was excited for this

Don’t get wrong definitely disappointed (bought into the hype so that didn’t help) but I occasionally jump back into the game and have some fun

My complaint is the story just wasn’t good. Like no one’s playing just cause for the story but something about it my casual ass didn’t like it

BeliefPropagator, do games w So are GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games.

I mean it’s just a cheap PR ploy anyway. Companies are not your friends. They are just as much dependent on payment processors like Mastercard as Steam and Itch. They probably just don’t matter enough to get notice.

I think mass effect is a clear contender, the ending to mass effect 2 was a bit meh, and then it really hit the fan with mass effect 3 and for those who didn’t get message, they also made mass effect andromeda.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

OMG - Mass Effect 3, yes.

I’d add Fable III. I got it in a “Buy 2, get 1 for $5” sale and I STILL felt ripped off.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I actually loved Fable 3, along with the rest of the series. It wasn’t as good as the other 2, but I still thought it was great.

I wasn’t part of the zeitgeist at the time. But I was surprised to find out much later that so many people hated it.

Zahille7,

I love Fable 3. I love how the weapons will change, I like the “Sanctuary” pause menu, and the world is awesome (if a little small). I do wish they were able to make it bigger with more side quests though.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

The thing that killed it for me was the timer. “xx Days Remaining”.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

If I remember right, that was there for plot purposes, but had no impact on the game.

Guitar,

No it definitely had an impact on the game. You had to either contribute enough of your personal wealth, or choose all the evil choices as regent, otherwise most of the citizens would die at the end. If you didn’t do it right, it left the world basically devoid of NPCs. For a series that made such a big deal about choice, the end of Fable III only had one right answer.

Zahille7,

Yeah. There are ways to absolutely break it though. Like if you just buy all the properties you can, you’ll be swimming in gold from the rent.

And then you can share extra gold between characters, so you can start the next playthrough with a “small loan” kinda thing.

Guitar,

My father, the king, gave me a small loan of a million gold. Now I’m gonna use my profits from Brightwood Tower to make Albion great again.

Kazumara,

Agreed, Fable III was a brutal step back. You couldn’t even equip clothing pieces individually anymore, and the whole “you’re king now, better collect enough money in time” sucked too.

v4ld1z,

Oh gee, I couldn’t think of something to put here. But Fable 3 was definitely a flop

Darkenfolk,

Honestly everything after fable 1 (yes, that includes “the lost chapters”) was kinda meh.

Fable was great, good storytelling with some twists and fun side quests. Loved the comat and the spell system and how much choice you had. End boss really felt like an end boss.

Honesty, all of this? The same for “lost chapters”.

The last boss fight was absolutely dogshit though, what a letdown. You have this huge fucking dragon and it was just such a disappointment compared to the OG jack of blades. It’s difficulty and movesets just didn’t feel right for a endboss level enemy.

Personally never played 2, although I have watched some letsplays and meh. So far as I can tell they gutted the magic system, had a decent story and some quality of life changes.

3 I did play and it would have been a decent game, if it wasn’t sold as a Fable game. Didn’t like the timer for the Big Bad, magic was boring.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Fable 2 largely was just as good as one with one added bonus… for me at least.

The cutscenes were all done in engine, with all the same rules that the game has.

So running into the final boss fight, I had run out of healing items, so I ate ALL my food and drank ALL my beer and wine before starting the final fight.

Cut scene starts. Villain starts his villiain monologue as villains do. My character proceeds to puke all over his shoes.

brucethemoose,

Hear me out.

I liked Andromeda’s concept. I liked some of the side quests and characters, with the SAM & Ryder relationship being particularly interesting to me. FemRyder’s VA was good.

The gunplay was the best of the franchise, even better than the excellent ME3MP which I dumped tons of hours into. It looked fantastic and ran well.

…But yeah, the story felt like a first draft, part 1. Which is, reportedly, exactly what it was.

it_depends_man,

The concept makes a lot of sense and was really really cool.

I saw a playthrough and I had 3-4 problems:

  • everyone seems to be better at colonizing on their own, separate from the home base, whose literal only purpose is to colonize.
  • (mechanically the whole colonization thing is trivialized by mary sue story progression and deus ex machina devices)
  • all the new aliens are once again roughly 2m tall humanoids
  • the ending felt… very “we need setpieces” and “absolutely make it a parade of every minor character we talked to”

ME1 even had Rachni, as non-humanoid npcs, could have something like that…

(And obviously most parts of the art departments did their job well. Hilarious but not game breaking bugs were the exception to the rule. It’s 99% a direction and writing problem.)

brucethemoose,

Yeah! There was a twist with the Kett to kinda justify 2 meter humanoid aliens, but still.

And obviously most parts of the art departments did their job well. Hilarious but not game breaking bugs were the exception to the rule.

It was released like a month too early; I don’t remember any bugs or art oddities in my playthrough. In fact, I thought the movement animations in particular were the best of any game I’ve played, and might still be.

Ugh, that game needs a redo, even though I know that would never happen.

Mithre,

I’d say part of the problem for Andromeda was that everyone else got there first in terms of colonization; the player isn’t exploring a new location, untouched by colonists, they’re going to an established settlement and exploring around that instead.

@Nima@leminal.space avatar

strangely enough, for all the hate Andromeda gets, I have more playtime in that game than the original trilogy combined.

Andromeda is more fun to replay. and to me the combat is hella fun. the characters are good. the loyalty missions are awesome.

the story? ehhhh. it has potential, honestly. and left us wide open for exploration.

its not the most flawless perfect game in existence, but damn its pretty good.

_Lory98_, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 3rd

Finished Final Fantasy XVI. I liked the story. The gameplay tho was serviceable at best and started getting really boring for the last 20 hours.

Started Persona 3 Reload. Played FES a few years ago and loved it. I like the new additions like Linked Episodes and the fully voiced Social Links. I kinda wish the combat kept the “tactics” from the PS2 games, but instead it’s just P5’s with a few things from SMTV. Also some of the cutscenes are a downgrade from the original, as I think they based them on the Portable version.

Fallout 3 and NV.

Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep as part of Borderlands 2 was so fun at the time - all of the BL2 DLC was good honestly. Haven’t played it in years though.

Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare was excellent.

I quite like most of the The Binding of Isaac DLC (although sometimes they're a bit too big, to be honest).

The Vietnam DLC for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was also rather good. I didn't get to play as much of it as I might have liked but I remember it being more than just a resin.

Bonus: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge (an expansion pack rather than DLC admittedly)

Hyrule Warriors Legends and Mario Kart 8 had DLC that doubled the content and didn’t cost that much. I probably played more DLC then the main game for both.

I generally don’t like DLC, and even disable them if possible, but Dark Souls 2 had some excellent DLC areas.

Tie Fighter had some great DLC back when it was just called an “expansion pack”.

Currently playing through X-Wing’s first expansion. It’s so much better in many places than the base game.
