Pronell, do gaming w The Entire Humble Games Team Has Reportedly Been Laid Off

Article makes it clear this is not Humble Bundle, which was what I had assumed.

My kids will be excited. They love this game.

The avengers was so boring, palyed it like one hour.

Give us another great punisher game like the one for xbox

My theory is that they’re not actually trying to make games. They are trying to make money printers.

HidingCat,

Probably why a decent (from various reviews and player reports) solo campaign in the Avengers was saddled with a shitty live-service component.

Mini_Moonpie,

That was definitely the impression that I got from the reviews and it’s a shame.

We want a game that everyone likes, let’s hire EA!

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

We want an MMO, let’s hire… uh, Square Enix I guess?

DragonTypeWyvern,

Don’t people love FFXIV?

MrScottyTay,

Square do currently make the best mmo, but that’s not the team that worked on avengers, not even in the same continent. Plus avengers was not meant to be an mmo but a live service like destiny. I will not cry when they eventually disappear.

Do people still care about marvel? If a huge ip can’t carry an average+ game then that ip isn’t really that important.

Gotg gameplay was just not good. The writing though, was amazing.

NocturnalEngineer,

It was definitely love/hate playing GOTG, it frustrated me to no end. The gameplay was so bad in places I couldn’t complete various sections without referencing player guides.

But I was compelled to complete it because of how well the story was told. I did enjoyed it, but I’m never going to replay it again, which is a shame.

TheDarkKnight,

Honestly its the one marvel game outside of spider-man that I liked in recent memory

mrnotoriousman,

I loved it and immediately went for plat after I finished the first time. The combat was a little rough at times but not really all that challenging. Way better than the movies by far. The characters, story, and acting were all phenomenal

prole,

I don’t remember having any issues with gameplay in GotG. The battles got slightly repetitive, but I didn’t have much trouble beating it in hard mode (and loved it). Weren’t that many battles I had to try more than once or twice.

Great game.

DigitalPaperTrail,

I agree the gameplay turned meh pretty fast for me; it devolved to just cycling through all the teammates' powers as they came up, while holding a direction to circle strafe most of everything with the occasional dodge.

and I'm not a fan of using a specific weapon for a specific enemy just because it was hardcoded to work (e.g. the western DmC: Devil May Cry before the rework). I much prefer weapons being suited for specific enemies because their functionality counters specific behaviors, such as their movement patterns

Its really not hard. They have the lion’s share of IPs but not a single person there can take a risk on a new mechanic or feature. Their problem is they want high ROI in an industry that is largely based on ephemeral measurements. You can’t predict the next hit, so you have to climb out on limbs and take risks to stand out.

cantstopthesignal,

You can predict the next hit if you understand that a good game requires good game play. Just like a good movie requires good writing. But they hired EA, the sequel factory.

Sanctus,

You say that, but Space Station 13 never became mainstream. Mischief Maker was left to rot and never remade. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles fucking removed the features we loved in the remake. Monster Rancher isn’t made anymore. Theres a host of IPs with great gameplay that are now lost to history. If it was so predictable companies would do it, because it makes money and companies solely exist to make money. But thats not the case. They churn out the same SaaS digital storefronts endlessly chasing the easy money. Nobody would have guessed Rainworld would have made the money it did, yet it triumphed. There is no formula for capturing the attention of apes with star-brains long enough to garner fame.

Guardians of the Galaxy was absolutely dogshit.

Chaser,

Hard disagree but you’re entitled to your opinion

Son_of_dad,

I can’t stand how people have no in between anymore. If a game isn’t a 10/10 it’s “dogshit” I’ve seen perfectly fine games with a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 being called “shit”, like come on now.

Zellith,

And people will lose their shit if you don't rate a game they like as 10/10. For some reason a 7/8/9 is personally offensive.

prole,

Nah

DeriHunter,

Dogshit? Really?

I usually don’t like nerrative driven games and skip a lot of cut scenes in games,but I really enjoyed this one! Great story really funny and fun gameplay.

The fighting was pretty easy I agree and as much as live dark souls, nit every game needs to have. This kind of challenge

Hoping that they bring back some of the Far Cry magic instead of just making another copy-paste sequel 🤞

manapropos,

Lmao, you’re probably better off playing FC2 with mods

Edit: wow, didn’t expect that image embed to be so huge lol

Daefsdeda,

Honestly, fc4 was the last one I enjoyed. Maps got bigger but content stayed the same afterward, so you just fly to places.

When they introduced flesh and armour bullet in 6 I was ultimately done.

Yeah, the games have been stale for a while. I really enjoy the gameplay, especially the liberation mechanics so I got elthe new games even though they just seem like copies.

On the other hand, each new game does look gorgeous, so there’s that.

Didn’t they already announce Marathon? Strange that this article doesn’t mention it at all.

0xDEADBEEF, do games w Bungie Is Reportedly Using Unreal Engine For Its New IP Codenamed 'Gummy Bears'

Ok and? Not much of a story til something actually gets announced

nanoUFO,
@nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works avatar

I mean it is a story since they used their own engine before and it affected development. Bet to a lot of people not into live service games this is more interesting than whatever they are making.

0xDEADBEEF,

True, and the ‘Blam!’ Engine has a lot of history behind it but ultimately the end result is more important than the tools used to achieve it. But until something is announced by Bungie then it’s still kinda a non-story

Whirlybird,

Dropping their own proprietary engine and moving to unreal is a pretty big story actually.

torvusbogpod, do games w Bungie Is Reportedly Using Unreal Engine For Its New IP Codenamed 'Gummy Bears'

I mean, Halo was originally called “Monkey Nutz,” so I wouldn’t put much stock in the game content relating to the codename

ZephyrXero, do games w Bungie Is Reportedly Using Unreal Engine For Its New IP Codenamed 'Gummy Bears'

I wonder if the codename implies you will be jumping and bouncing around a lot in the game
