Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w [Rumor] Mass Effect 4 will ditch an open world and return to its "classic format", insider teases

Budget cuts?

Or because of Mass Effect Andromeda? I dont think the problem with Andromeda was the open world…

Indeed. Fingers crossed there’s a way to bring a save over from PS4 again like with HZD, need to play the DLC but I got the game on PS4…

That was my first thought seeing the article, too. I’ve got my fingers crossed, because I really want to play the DLC.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's director hasn't completely ruled out DLC

Seemingly going back on what they have already said in the past.

Trying to milk the success now that the honeymoon period is over and complaints are being top news.

The studio is already working of their next title. DLC would mean putting more people on the satellite team. Large doubt it’s going to be anything other than characters.

Maybe in the minority here, but I like Andromeda. I like the open world aspect, the combat is fun, interesting story.

I liked the game, however, I fucking hate sudoku.

TurnItOff_OnAgain,

Oh, I love sudoku too. I’ve got like 500 games done on the app I’m using right now.

I was referring to space sudoku.

TurnItOff_OnAgain,

I know. It’s pretty much the same thing as regular sudoku. I gave the different symbols names to make them easier to do.

It was a good game, but paled in comparison to the original trilogy

ISOmorph,

Same here. It’s not because the trilogy before was a 9/10, that Andromeda was garbo just because it was a 7 or 8/10

TrousersMcPants, do games w [Rumor] Mass Effect 4 will ditch an open world and return to its "classic format", insider teases

Good, tbh, I think we’ve had to back off Open World RPGs for years now. Smaller scale RPGs can tell a story with far more focus. I think something like Witcher 2 or Baldurs Gate 3 are good examples of balancing exploration and story telling.

FracturedEel,

Yeah I’ve loved open world games since I first played oblivion as a teenager but being open world isn’t necessarily a good thing in and of itself and being too big often makes you spoiled for choice. Plus I just don’t have time anymore to explore the whole world. For me as long as the story is interesting and it has good systems and mechanics along with new game plus of some kind I can get into a game and play it over and over

TrousersMcPants,

I grew up on Oblivion too, Bethesda games are great for open world. Having many smaller stories is great if you want to have a whole world.

Anonymousllama, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's director hasn't completely ruled out DLC

Seems like a no-brainer to have a custom campaign system given the number of people who’ve picked this one up. You think they’d want to capitalize on their success regardless of how tired they are

Duke_Nukem_1990,

I wonder if a campaign editor or even something more sophisticated ala Neverwinter Knights has simply not been green flagged by Wizards of the Coast.

HipHoboHarold, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's director hasn't completely ruled out DLC

I would love DLC. A game like this could be kept alive for years with good DLC.

Weslee,

I wonder if the game supports whole new campaigns, use the core mechanics but introduce a totally different narrative, locations, characters, etc

Could be really good, even better if they open this up to modders and allow us to create our own campaigns

mojo,

Yeah the modding tools in Dos2 were insane. I haven’t really looked into bg3 mods but I hope we get something like that.

Spike,

Imagine getting something like NWN had.

Kbin_space_program,

I hope we get the tools Solasta has.

Weslee,

I’ve seen some mods pop up on nexus but other than the gear ones I wouldn’t say they were that great, though it is early days still

TheCannonball,

I’m mostly interested in the mods that add new classes. The Artificer mod is really good and mostly shows how broken they are in 5e.

Afrazzle,

Even just making the gear you find randomized would add so much replayability

sirfancy, do games w Payday 3's roadmap promises four DLC drops in the first year

So uh, is this a good thing? Do we really want to repeat what happened to Payday 2 and have 50?

Edit: Sorry, my mistake. There’s 81.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

Payday 2 came out a decade ago. Eight dlc per year, with a lot being cosmetic, seems fine to me?

sirfancy,

That is far from normal. If these are free dlc, then that’s great, but this is more and more regular updates that they are locking behind a paywall. Many of them are not just cosmetic, and are entirely new guns that are overpowered enough to become the new meta in order to complete certain heists on certain difficulties. Some are brand new heists, too. They even added loot boxes two years after saying they wouldn’t (although they have rolled it back since then due to the predicable negative response). It’s always been a cash grab, and it’s unfortunate that it appears they may be falling back into old habits.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

No, that is very normal. Between “battle passes” and “season passes” and RMTs in in-game stores, 8 DLCs per year is pretty low.

As for adding new weapons: Welcome to a live game. If everyone that was released was worse than what was in the base game, what would be the point?

If you dislike the game and the kind of DLC they do, have fun. I will largely agree. But this constant refrain that comes up with long running games of “Ugh, there are so many DLCs” makes me wonder if people would lose their mind if they ever realized how many issues of a magazine there were or whatever.

JJROKCZ, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's director hasn't completely ruled out DLC

I’m probably going to get around 500 hours vanilla or near vanilla. One campaign took 150ish hours and I messed up some stuff along the way made me miss a lot of content in act 2 by doing something that entirely made me skip most of ketherics lines and actions

vasametropolis, (edited )

Edited for spoilers: I’m going to message you to ask but I’m wondering if I missed a lot of Ketheric as well.
