By memory this means we’ve only got Rise of and Shadow of - alongside the IV-VI Remastered still to come via Amazon, they’ve given the rest out themselves (though Epic has given others)
This is basically what it’s like playing KCD2 at times, but it’s fucking hilarious watching an army of guys try to kill me or the person I am talking to while we just ignore them.
Your comment has caused me to reflect on the early game, and I think I agree with you. I suspect I hadn’t noticed the slow early game because the catalyst for me playing the game was grieving a friend who had loved the game — this means that even if I had found it painfully slow, I would have been likely to push on regardless.
I’m trying to remember at what point it potentially gets better. It’s hard to say without knowing how far you got in (especially because it’s entirely possible that maybe you just didn’t jibe with this game (which is fine, because subjectivity is cool)); I remember part of what I enjoyed about the game was the general vibes.
That being said, going off the map above, I think the most engaging parts of the game for me happened after Boulder City. The world gets more content dense as you approach New Vegas, and I remember enjoying the anticipation as I got closer to the city, and how I was beginning to feel like I understood the various moving parts of the world better (such as the politics around the NCR).
So I think the short answer is that yes, it does pick up. If New Vegas seems like the kind of game you usually play, it might be worth giving it another crack (but I can’t gauge how far into the game it starts picking up, time-wise)
Never really agreed with the Metroidvania label, same with Skul: The Hero Slayer. You unlock different biomes (and side rooms), but the items to do so are more like keys. Just my thoughts on that.
You’ve waited now 7 years - waiting a bit longer won’t hurt - but then again if you wait for the next one there will probably always be another one after that.
I like your question but you should formulated better, that’s why it’s getting downvoted.
Short Answer: No, it’s not a flop. Long answer: Many have given the meaning of a flop so I will not repeat. What you want to know it seems is if ERN succeeded as a multiplayer and I get the feeling you are comparing it to FPS, but they have very different markets. ERN made good money and satisfied the Soul-Like gamers Multiplayer addiction. Elden Ring is also not massive when compared to Counter Strike but in proportion ERN is very successful. The learning curve for the Souls-Like games is usually also a detractor for many.
Still top 10 right now in concurrent players on steam. Every other game on the tier list is a free to play game or Dune(with less players than Nightreign) and Dune is a big IP with a multimillion movie trilogy. Calling it flop is absurd.
I’ll throw in a few that I enjoyed (all pc with a controller):
Hollow knight (probably the common favorite). Fun gameplay, interesting story, felt like a great entry into the genre as someone who didn’t like them previously.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Really interesting farming mechanics to unlock new skills and fun combat. I think I liked this one mostly for the gameplay and don’t remember the story much.
Grime. This one felt really, really clunky at first. However, like most games in the genre, it really picked up at one point and I enjoyed the whole experience. I think there were some sections that really dragged on but overall a fun game with interesting movement, mechanics, and enemies.
