As a huge fan of MW19 and a fairly big fan of MW22, I won’t be buying or playing.
The monetization has gotten far too aggressive, realistic styled assets have gone out the door, and the studio behind this upcoming game made Vanguard, my worst purchase of 2021.
“By partnering with the Cfx.re team, we will help them find new ways to support this incredible community and improve the services they provide to their developers and players.”
Allow me to translate:
“By partnering with the Cfx.re team, we will help them find new ways to bleed the community’s wallets dry and force servers to pay a cut of their monetization revenue and offer nothing substantial in return.”
Story wise they didn’t leave much room for a sequel. It gets wrapped up nicely at the end. I didn’t play any of the DLC but the impression that I got was that a lot of possible sequel material was covered in them. The game was really good and definitely worth picking up on a sale price. It will give BotW vibes but don’t think of it as a clone. It’s got a good story and a nice little twist at the end. The boss fights were a joy if not painful at times. The puzzles were mostly good and not too obtuse. I think I had to use Google on a few of them. It is annoying with the extra clothing and style purchases that the game tries to get you to spend real money for. It tarnished an otherwise good game.
I’m sure they will take everything that made the original game great and bin it in a misguided attempt to appeal to a customer base they don’t understand.
It's really been whiplash inducing to go from reading about how Microsoft was going to dominate gaming because of the Activision buyout to reading about how Microsoft is going to be the next Sega and are possibly exiting the console market. And it all happened in the span of a few months.
This game is a collab with the Singaporean government, their workforce has terrible salaries plus benefitting from generous federal subsidies. Is that not enough for you Yves?
I mean both were good games, but Zelda is just legendary status and on another level. It holds a special place for me, and they somehow nailed it out of the park yet again with TOTK. I don’t know how they keep doing it! They have some geniuses over there.
