Lol

The longer they take to lower the price of their game, the longer it takes me to buy it.

Good lord, about time. I wonder how intricate a universe they crafted during these 6 (?) years. Can’t wait to wander through Bonebottom or whatever it’s called

They failed with the first game after it spiked in popularity. They were only ever releasing a number 2 in an attempt to cash in on another spike.

This is actually a very sincere statement from the company. Kind of refreshing.

That’s some arrogant bullshit. Guy hasn’t invented a new mechanic in 10 years so it must mean every game has already been invented.

Imagine a washed up author trying to argue there are no new stories to tell.

theangriestbird,

interesting, i don’t remember the feedback being quite so…mid. I remember this game getting pretty positive reviews, but maybe i’m muddling it with my memory of the other “hex” games.

Promising a reward for making the deadline then deciding to move the release date is like promising a reward for anyone who can finish a race in under 10 minutes, then just deciding not to look at the stopwatch for 15 minutes even though people have already finished.

The devs have earned the reward you promised. You’re just refusing to look at the stopwatch so you can pretend they didn’t.

masterspace, do gaming w EA-backed car culture site winds down, as Need for Speed series is ‘shelved’ | VGC

Playing the original hot pursuit on my friend’s family’s Gateway PC, is a true core memory.

The spirit continued with Burnout 2 & 3 before ultimately dying. Racing games need to focus more on destruction and less on licensing real world cars.

theangriestbird,

I don’t think “destruction vs. licensed cars” is the binary in racing games. NFS3 Hot Pursuit had licensed cars, and that probably added to the fun of the game. I think we def need more games with destructible cars and destruction-focused racing, and I agree that you need unlicensed cars to get the most out of that these days, but there are plenty of other ways to make a fun car game. Beam.NG is there for the people that want truly next-level destruction simulation, and it has multiplayer support via mods but we could use a more mainstream version of that. Wreckfest is out there, but maybe that is too “demo derby” for die-hard burnout fans. We had games like OnRush and NFS Unbound come and go, and those games were probably the closest we got to Burnout in recent times, but audiences didn’t show up for those games so they have all but died.

Forza Horizon (which I mention all the time bc it is the only modern car game I have played) is plenty fun and arcadey with a whole smorgasbord of licensed cars. The cars get smashed up a decent amount, though it obviously isn’t quite like a Burnout game. Tweaking the driving settings can make the game feel even more arcadey, if that is your style. If you want the destruction to affect how your car handles, that is a setting you can turn on. If you want a more simulationy driving experience, you can tweak the settings to turn that on, too. It isn’t Burnout exactly, but something about it scratches a similar itch for me. I know the Horizon series is one of the most popular racing series in the current scene, I wonder sometimes if its popularity and live service model are eating the lunch of those other, smaller arcade racers.

I started the first one last month and encountered 3 game-breaking-reload-required bugs within the first hour. It still isn’t fixed after all these years.

Edit: I don’t understand why I’m being downvoted for simply sharing my playthrough experience?

Well I’m on my fifth playthrough and have encountered game-breaking bugs maybe 3 times :)

_cryptagion,

I play on PC, and the only bug I’ve ever experianced was one time an NPC walked into the sidewalk. Other than that, it’s been smooth sailing.

Played until I was helping the cops and symping for corpo life. Aren’t we supposed to be punks off the street? The fuck are we helping cops for? CDPR can’t write.

Mim,

The fuck are we helping cops for?

Because the coppers have a vigilante system and pay me for fucking these specific groups of gangers and criminals up. And as Vespasian said: money doesn’t stink.

Hyphlosion, do games w Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible

I might get this just to support that they’re doing this. Been abused by “git gud” bros and their gatekeeping for far too long when it comes to difficulty.

Game is too hard, so I want to beat the game at a more comfortable difficulty level. If I like the game enough, I will then try to beat it at the harder level. Why is this such an abominable concept to those people?

DragonTypeWyvern,

If, for example, the PSN store let you refund a game that you tried for a bit and gave up on I’d be more sympathetic to their argument, but it doesn’t. It, in fact, won’t let you refund a game you’ve only partially downloaded.

I might actually give this a try now!

I love me some ambience and story, but I’m not masochist enough to grind through a souls-like.

Bloodborne almost got me though

DragonTypeWyvern,

Bloodborne actually gets pretty easy once you understand the parry timing. If you ever feel brave enough to give it a shot, just focus on learning that mechanic and you’ll do well.
