Pixel graphics and metroidvania! I’m in. The primal theme is interesting too kinda like the Primal TV show or the old 90s prehistoric caveman games like Joe and Mac.
If the car is only a skin and doesn’t change the physics, I’m liking that. To me doesn’t make a difference, since I’m not playing that much, but I feel like that would destroy it for a lot of dedicated players. I just like the new skin being a bit more of a"normal car".
Yeah they added it for their 20 years anniversary in November, it has its own physics and came along a new surface with its own physics as well (wood, which then broke physics for existing wood making some old maps broken but that’s a long story)
Not that there’s anything wrong with other people romanticizing that era but I’ve always found it kind of a lame one. So if this wholly relies on that to get around it’s flaws then it’s more reason for it to be a pass for people like myself.
No, it doesn’t. But you stopped watching the video.
That said, it is a legitimate argument. Just like “it’s cool to be Spider-man” is a reason to pick up Insomniac’s recent games.
SkillUp argues that in a vacuum, and for a reduced price, Skull and Bones is a decently functional game. But it doesn’t exist in a vacuum and Black Flag is better in (almost) every way.
No offense but maybe you didn’t pay close enough attention, since I got all of that but it relies on what I said for it to be true wholly.
This is my rough summary of what I watched yesterday, as I’m not going to go back and watch it again:
The video starts with him stating that objectively the game, in context of its development is a complete mess.
Then he stated that he found he was enjoying the 20 hours he spent with the game and asked himself why?
Then he stated factually that the game was fun because it is just flat out cool to be a pirate.
He described the things he thought were cool about being a pirate all of which I found to be lame.
Then he used those lame pirate things to justify the argument that in a vacuum the game isn’t bad.
He lost me at “it’s cool to be a pirate” which was the foundation of his argument that the game is OK.
Plus even if I had turned it off, that’s like most of the way into the video. So it’s kind of far to expect a person to watch something to get the “the game is fine, don’t pay much for it” result.
It’s a reasonable argument. Perhaps my initial comment was a bit mean.
What I find difficult is that it is a pirate game, very clearly. If you don’t enjoy the pirate theme, what were you expecting to get from a review like such?
Perhaps you’re a fan of naval combat. Which, fair.
The graphics engine is laughably bad by today’s standards, the story is bad, the point of the game disturbing (the game focuses around torturing people to get answers, as opposed to one quest might have torture as an option), and the gameplay doesn’t look fun.
