J action sounds right for metal gear rising and Bayonetta. It’s a lot better then trying to call it camera style common verb like fps, TPS. Our genres should really start focusing on player experience rather than basic mechanics.
Yeah - the interview touches on the lack of new F-Zero and, to a lesser degree, Star Fox games. Apparently, they just haven’t been a priority, there was a reference to games being canceled far into development, so I wonder if that happened as well.
I love the idea of Nintendo finding a good partner studio to bring a fresh take to F-Zero.
What was promised where? Because yeah, get capable technical team together who are excited to share a project they’re working on, and they are bound to be optimistic about what could be realistically implemented over a long timeframe. Nothing but the official release product information should be considered a promise, and nothing but unsponsored, unaffiliated reviews should be taken as proof.
I highly doubt that any pre-launch ‘promises’ were made with an intention to decieve.
But it’s pretty realistic and happens all the time. I don’t see what’s ‘bootlicky’ about not trusting ‘promises’ by corporations years before release that are not protected under laws like the Trades Description Act.
I don’t know what was supposedly promised, because I didn’t follow interviews and stuff leading up to it, I just bought the game based on what was actually delivered in the end, which is how all purchases should really be made.
Stuff mentioned during development should never be taken as a promise, no matter how trustworthy or honest the developer is. This is just the simple reality of long projects.
It’s also why we don’t hear from devs as much these days, instead it’s mostly PR people, as too much weight is put on off-hand quotes.
Studios like CDPR have nothing to gain, and lots to lose, by deliberately over-promising.
I would guess of us already moved on. We bought the game on launch, got a shitty, barely working experience. Then after finishing it or not, we moved on. Now, every few months there’s always some posts about about the game finally being good, even years after its release. But I only remember my shitty experience because I moved on. I couldn’t care less about the game at this point.
While I loved the cyberpunk's premise, idea and atmosphere since the game's announcement, I sticked to the "no preorders ever" rule and because of reviews decided to just wait them to patch it.
Still haven't played it, but likely now I can add it to my wishlist and when the time's right, I'll try it out.
This is the way. Just picked it up on steam summer sale since I hear the new dlc is coming soon with a lot of changes to the base game.
I have critiques but overall it’s a really beautiful game with good characters and story. The gameplay is interesting and varied enough, too. I’ve still encountered a quite a few crazy bugs but nothing too frustrating.
I hope they do more with this franchise because I really like what they have set out to make and I’d love to see it even more fleshed out in the future
what makes it spyware? i get wanting to boycott everything Microsoft because of…well, everything they do to make the world worse. But spyware is a new one.
Look at how aggressively copilot is trying to evade an interactive firewall, there are new processes and process names popping up every other day. You know what else acts like this? Malware.
But only if are a fan of Borderlands 2, right? For any other casual player without attachment to the series, the third entry doesn’t seem to bad. I have yet to play. This is just what I get from reading opinions. Is this correct?
3 has a bad story even if you aren't a fan of 2. It's peak middle aged men writing humor that the think teenagers would like. Gameplay is best in the series by far though. (Excluding 4 which I haven't played yet).
For someone who think gameplay is king, I would probably enjoy this game more than 2? Not saying that characters, story, writing, music, graphics and so on are not important; far from.
I, like you, heard the story was bad but figured I could just focus on the gameplay and ignore the writing. Unfortunately, the reason the bad writing is so notorious is that the game is setup to jam it in your face consantly. It’s unrelenting.
Imagine playing a pretty decent game while a dead-eyed 50 year old comedian is making the worst jokes you’ve ever heard in your life while doing a very poor impression of gen-z internet slang they barely understand. The comedian thinks you the player are actually stupid so the jokes are as condescending as they are awful. Now imagine they won’t shut up. Every time you do anything in the game, you get a few minutes of these whacky jokes. Accepting a mission, every bullet of the mission, skits that you have to watch before progressing, etc. You have no choice but to engage with the lazy, insulting, horrendous writing that wears thin after minutes and goes on for the entire hours-long game.
There are mods that disable the endless chatter which I can’t recommend more highly. I made the misake of playing the game raw. The game is actually pretty fun, but the aggressive garbage of the writing is not something easily ignored.
Hmm, I see. Like any extreme, it can outweigh and be the major pain point (or high point, whatever). Action games with too much cinematic and tutorial can also destroy the fun of an otherwise good game. And if the cinematic and constant chatting and characters are annoying, yeah, that’s a pass for me as well.
I’ve purchased the game for something like 2,99 or so in Steam and thought will play it someday. I’ll probably install and test it just because I have it, but after reading comments like yours, I do not think to finish it. Not all games you start needs to be finished.
BTW are those mods integrated into Steam? If so, I’ll have it in mind.
Ya know I was really hoping that when Capcom released Mega Man X Dive Offline that it would become a standard that all live service games would adhere to…
