Oh hell yeah! The first one was a freaking work of art. It was a fantastic interpretation on psychosis. I really look forward to seeing where they go with the sequel.
Back4blood doesn’t suck, but it did really take a while for the game to be tuned at the harder difficulties. It’s a solid upgrade over l4d2 in every way, but doesn’t benefit from nostalgia goggles. I wish it had l4d vs mode and mod support, but I still put in a hundred hours or so (haven’t checked dlc) which is pretty reasonable value.
The problem with back4blood is that it’s good: not great.
Yes the issue with these L4D clones is that they have to improve upon the L4D formula, or have an interesting take on it. Vermintide and Payday succeeded on their own merits even though the core gameplay loop is very close (and it took each of them two games to get there).
I have tried both Back 4 Blood and the Anacrusis (in early access), and was pretty much over them after a couple of rounds.
The build system for different archetypes is relatively satisfying and interesting to grind through, it hugely changes how you play a match and I think it’s a really good addition to the formula. It’s a decent time with the lads, which is all it needed to be.
Man, I so wanted to love this game! Instead I just liked it. The graphics, the world, music, even the story are so well made and interesting to look at and explore. I loved the mining town at the beginning or the town with the ghost house! The only thing holding this game back is the somewhat stale level design between the interesting places you explore. They feel like flat 2d Zelda dungeons with a handful of frustrating design decisions to make them harder and take longer to finish. Still, I will probably get the DLC to show support for the devs and the interesting world they created!
Edit: Jesus fucking christ! I watched the trailer after commenting and didn’t see they made a Harvest Moon/Stardewvalley style DLC! Day one purchase!
The fact that they got the twerk animation to be so realistic gives me confidence that they’re raising the bar and putting in the work on this game. Also every rule 34 modder is gonna take full advantage of this
It’s Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde were crappy criminals but they were quite famous for their media presence. I think this one will have the protagonists be social media star criminals, and it will come back and bite them. Also, one dies, iirc.
Bioware really loves giving zero information for years and the pretending their trailers are of any value at all.
Mass Effect hasn’t had content since 2017 and we have like two minutes worth of “show nothing, hit nostalgia button” trailers since then. DA looks to be in a similar spot.
Is it an EA problem? A Bioware problem? Who knows lol just can’t wait to finally see the franchise I love most shit the bed on launch. Again.
