That is the beauty of these games; you only get told the story if you go looking for it. You can still play the entire game and even all the extra content and not have a single thing straight told to you that’s out of your control. Every time I go and play something else, the biggest frustration for me is that I’m just there for the game part, but it takes control away a lot just to give me half an hour of exposition to a story I’m not paying attention to.
Because of the lore I know why we fight Maliketh. But also because of the lore I don’t know why we fight Maliketh instead of just asking for Destined Death.
Barrens chat was wild back in the day. Can’t imagine how it is now a days with how every online game is so full of toxicity that the most common thing I do the first time I play anything now is disable chat entirely.
Remaking them in the same tired-ass engine would only make them worse and it’s not likely they will ever give up their Frankenstein’s monster of GameBryo in favor of something that isn’t a pile of dogshit.
The last few re-releases of Skyrim where they updated some visual features and added new content (most of which they didn’t make) is as close to a remaster or remake they will actually do.
I feel like the best you could possibly find is a game that uses a resource as payment that isn’t called “money,” but mechanically it would be the same.
But there is Minecraft. You can farm in that and you don’t need money (even though it exists in the form mentioned above). Or Project Zomboid which money exists as money but is only useful as toilet paper.
What even is the point, though? The number of games made specifically for the PS5 can be counted on 1 hand and it’s not like those have significant performance issues that warrant even more powerful hardware.
Do any of these bigger numbers mean one would at least be able to play an existing game in 4k with ray tracing at higher than 30fps?
These aren’t even hero shooters. They’re just basic arena shooters. Unless they have drastically changed since they released (which was the last time I played either).
