I guess I spent 9,99 Euro on 1 month Game Pass to realize that it’s too bad on my GTX 970 to be fun, glad there are other games I can play for the money. Still I need to see for myself, cry a bit and life will go on.
For me it feels like it has less destruction than 4 and the operators are just something I thought I’d like but it feels off in battlefield. None of the maps were that good either and it always felt too spread out or too many flanks to get shot from. And I’m a huge planetside 2 player so I’m used to 500+ player battles (I miss those days) and it felt everytime I died it was from somewhere that made 0 sense and was frustrating
There’s definately less destruction on the maps. The super hero thing negates classes entirely. The fact that you can’t (or could t at launch) run squads or have comms in the game was crazy.
Basically all the mechanics that reinforced any semblance of team play were removed.
As someone who usually loves the Battlefield games, I get where you’re coming from. But for us, it’s disappointing that the current version of a game we enjoy is so disappointing. Tragic perhaps in terms of the game itself and its fans. The greedy suits at the top can f right off though.
I interviewed with the Pokémon Company recently, and their benefits were the absolute #1 I’ve seen of any enterprise level company. If I get the gig I doubt I’d ever leave. I mean, these are CEO level benefit packages for mid-level (minus the goofball CEO golden parachute).
You can get as good as that as standard in the UK.
I get 36 days PTO, the legal minimum is 28 days. 25% bonus. Pension contribution, I pay 4%, company pays 8%. Health insurance included, but the NHS will cover most stuff.
This isn’t even a senior level position, it’s bottom level. Seniors get way more.
A lot of the article is focused on how games journalism has adapted to meet the current business environment (read advertising). Gaming is certainly not alone in that. Newspapers were hit a long time ago, and we've seen the same issues there too.
I'm curious -- what value do most people get from games journalism? Would people really miss if pcgamer, kotaku, or eurogamer just disappeared?
I'd really love to see a detailed balance sheet for some of these orgs to see what the actual operating costs are and how much is going to exec salaries.
People always claim they wanna see reviews before they buy their games, it’s the anthem of the anti-pre-orderer. Surely some of those reviews would come from games journalists.
The problem though is that it’s not sustainable to give away your content for free. You have to get advertisers to pay you and most people interested in games journalism are probably gonna have ad blockers, so then you have to fall back to whoever will pay you. You also have to avoid getting on a publishers bad side as a smaller journalist, or you’ll be black listed and your career will be over. So what can you do besides take money to fudge some reviews?
This is the problem with all free news content also, by the way. Somebody’s gonna pay for it, if it’s not you then it’s the people who want their opinions to be the prevailing one.
The only one I really value is Digital Foundry. I like how they break down games technically and give insight on how to get the most out of them through settings and whatnot.
But outside of that, I generally trust user reviews more.
I’m not sure how this is surprising anyone at all, honestly.
The problem (but not for Bethesda) is that we are so used to mods that we seem to forget how absolutely shite a lot of their vanilla UI is. Has everybody forgotten the Skyrim map? Coz I sure as shit have not.
Did they somehow miraculously fix it all in Fallout 4? Genuine question, I kinda gave up on them after Skyrim.
The fallout 4 map is basically the same as the fallout 3 and new vegas map, and now that I think about it oblivion. So this is verry much a two steps forward one step back situation.
Year’s of rumours and nothing ever happens. One day would be nice. Be better if they got it on PC. Probably never play it. Real shame they lock games away
TLDR: Dev is The Chinese Room, developer of Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. They still won’t say what happened with Hardsuit Labs, the OG dev, and the mechanics and system will be totally different.
Instead of a thin-blood, you’re an Elder fresh from torpor.
Oh man! This game is finally coming out! I’m so excited and…
The Chinese Room
FUCKING goddamn I hate that studio.
Specifically Dan Pinchbeck. Dude thinks he’s god’s gift to game design despite making walking sims. He got in hot water a while ago for talking shit about fans when his amnesia game wasn’t universally praised. Blah blah we don’t understand horror and video games… standard hipster shit.
Not to mention… they make walking sims… I guess we’ll never get a real VTM game.
