Yeah this marathon reboot extraction shooter is dead. It’s going to lie in developer hell for years…be silently cancelled and Matt McMuscles will give us an expose of “what happened” a few months later
I will be shocked if this “marathon” reboot sees the light of day
The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.
Except you don’t find out the devs/publishers released a broken game until after you buy it. Which is like, way too common. You can direct your frustrations to the publishers who insist on pushing out broken games and fixing them later.
Yeah although, within reasonable boundaries this is now on the side of the consumer:
Reviews exist and we can wait for them.
Even in cases where they intentionally tricked journalists and reviewers by giving them special copies, we got a 2h refund window on Steam and similar services on say GOG nowadays.
Can still be circumvented by shady publishers, sure, but it’s getting more difficult to trick customers slowly.
I don’t think they realized anything. I worked for them for 13 years. I think they are likely looking at a strategy to bring archived games with low hardware requirements to new platforms that can run them.
For example, I worked on NBA and Madden Mobile. These were ps3 games that were ported.
It’s a good strategy. Why start from scratch when you can just port existing titles that had good sales.
If it came across as talking bad about the game/franchise thats not the intent. It’s just rarely mentioned in the crpg mainstream articles I’ve seen over time. Usually Divinity and others are brought up more often.
No no, I just see “Underrated” used a lot about things that really aren’t underrated. It’s become a bit of a pet peeve for me. (Like when someone calls REM an underrated band. Like, they are world renowned. They’re just old and broken up.)
And I’m also pointing out a likely reason for them not being talked about as much as other titles in the same genre. Aside from going through the game with different roles, the first game just doesn’t have a lot of replay value. Not a lot of ‘Choice & Consequence’ or things to discover. There’s your Char and what God you choose to side with in the end. That’s kinda it.
