Eh. Not really interested unless I can play Halo 3 on my phone. And even then, the DRM on the MCC is so awful that it makes me constantly sign in on my steam deck.
Mobile gaming had it’s time in the sun with Plants Vs Zombies and Infinity Blade. It’s been downhill ever since with the rise of f2p gambling/lootcrate games. I don’t see mobile gaming ever coming back from that until regulations are much, much stronger.
It’s a completely different game vs undertale. It’s like comparing Dota 2 to DiRT rally, haha. It’s worth going in blind, and the post-game is extremely good and very replayable (and adds new content).
The only remakes that I really liked were Black Mesa and the MCC. Black Mesa was such an incredible tribute to Half Life.
Some, like The Witcher (1), could absolutely use an overhaul because of bad gameplay issues, time constraints or budget cuts (Xen- Half Life, etc). Most, like Skyrim…eh. they don’t really need it as long as they sent patches for stuff like 144hz and ultrawide support.
I kinda assumed people understood the messages behind Battlefield 1, Death Stranding, and Helldivers 2, lol. Most of the messages are telegraphed pretty clearly.
Unfortunately, Paradox and Colossal represent everything wrong with the games industry.
Rushed, sloppy, and greedy take on a great idea. Shooting PC mods in the foot for hypothetical console support.Trying to rush out a half-baked port to console on a half-baked, buggy game years before it’s ready. Releasing assetflip dlc before the game is even done or even on consoles, lol.
No, it is $60, I just feel like other studios don’t work half as hard as Larian does per title and still charge more money.
The sheer amount of script and voice acting in the game is insane. All the balanced fights, scripted scenes, level designs, characters, mo-cap, and rigging…I don’t even want to think how many hours that all mist have taken. Not to mention developing and writing a script, each with multiple choices and logic branches.
…meanwhile COD and 2K Sport game are reskinning their games every year and charging $70 and putting Nicki Minaj as an operator, haha. More power to them. It just feels like one studio is putting in the effort to justify a higher price and still charging the normal price.
It’s honestly the only modern game worth $70 imo. One campaign run is like 126+ hours. Additional playthroughs are possible from other characters, which tells the story from different perspectives. Can go to areas you missed in the first playthrough, too :)
I didn’t even realize it released since it was epic exclusive, lol. I’m sure it’s good, but there is frighteningly little these days that would get me to download another launcher.
I always enjoy a game solo at first, then do co op with friends. It was really fun solo. But I’d like to create a giant underwater farm with friends, and have various seamoths and other vehicles to use with buddies. The multiplayer mod works, it’s just buggy as mods are.
