Well to be fair, only Cataclysm had decent writing. HW1 lived off its world building, but being a fresh setup it did a superb job with that.
Then HW2 mostly coasted on the success of HW1 in world building, bringing much of it down with its shallow design but eh, still good enougthe problem is that by now the world is known in large parts. Bow they need to bring in actual story, especially because we know from Cataclysm that they can do that.
Weird but he is right, the visual overhaul is amazing and the game is fantastic, and one of the few scenarios where 30FPS doesn’t truly make a difference - except for those timing attacks.
Personally I’d go a step further and say that during some animations, 30FPS looks… better? Paper-style is inherently low-fi, the low framerate somehow fits that visually. At least to my eye.
It’s an AI generated “article”, on a site that exclusively feeds headlines into AI to write “articles”.
So even if the original headline was - in the now-unknown wording - something rooted in reality, the generative shitcode has now turned both the headline and the content into utter derangement.
Which sucks due to the innate near-inability of a Youtube video to carry an argument without a visual component well.
It’s why podcasts can be decent for some topics, but youtube is just someone talking a podcast into the camera for 45 minutes, and all of it would be ~5 minutes reading a single paragraph at most if it were in written form but you really really realy got to chase those ad-impressions.
Non-textual forms for textual content have really been their own destructive blight on internet content. :'(
Eh, I thought it was perfect. I hate how modern Pokemon games have become quasi-MMORPGs, in staleness of core design, lack of combat depth and also their desire to have you spend every waking hour doing absolutely mindless rote activities.
This was nice. Strictly superior oldschool Pokemon clone with fantastically punny names, really cute characters and a nice runtime that’s still longer than the old Pokemon games but not as bloated as modern ones.
I’ll be honest compared to many of the main FF games like X, XIII or XVI, XIV’s story from ARR->EW, especially once you’re in the last segments of ShB and EW, easily outdoes them. It’s slow as molasses since it has to fit a whole MMO with 2y release cycles into it, but it’s also damn good.
The less exclusives, the better. We don’t need lock-ins, we need open platforms and open systems. If I want a plug&play gaming experience I can buy a console, if I want maximum performance and quality in a more maintenance and setup intensive package I can build my own PC.
