If you’ve played prop hunt and like randomly beating objects to find out what’s people you’ll probably like 2017.
In all seriousness though it is a good game that has a decent amount of fun frantic chaotic combat. I feel like it’s a bit difficult to compare to other games but if I had to I’d say it reminds me a bit of BioShock and Control
Fun fact for those interested the STALKER series was partially inspired by the book A Roadside Picnic. A movie was released in 1979 that was also inspired by it named Stalker.
I wonder what games would take up that much space for save files. I mean if a game is autosaving frequently sure but I feel like you’d need a decent amount of them
An example a lot of people here can relate to is thinking about game consoles and handhelds they played growing up like the GBA.
There were likely some great games produced for it but there was also a lot of shovelware movie tie-ins and horrendous ports that were misrepresented in advertisements.
It’s essentially rehashing the debate of people being more comfortable with violence than sexual content. A game can have someone getting vivisected with a shotgun and no one really cares but having full frontal nudity will end up with a game that has articles written about it.
From what I’ve heard Stellar Blade didn’t have full frontal nudity or anything remotely close to that level but the outfits were toned down. I don’t think it’s really necessary especially when you can choose which outfit the protagonists wears.
I feel like this has been the norm for a while though with games getting released here in the west with women being less sexualized. I’m kind out of the loop about Stellar Blade so I’m not sure if it was censored globally.
I feel like that’s what kept me away from it. When I was younger I probably would have been happy with the smaller library but I never had the opportunity to try it and get tempted to buy one
He covers a lot of stuff other than Half Life and BioShock. I feel like BioShock has been a rabbit hole he’s gone down recently and Half Life (along with F.E.A.R.) is a reference point he uses a lot when comparing games because they’re some of his favorite games.
He’s covered RoboCop, Beyond Sunset, Remnant 2, Roboquest, Diluvion, Rip Out, Retchid, and Sprawl within the past six months. You might just need to scroll down a tad. His titling system is a lot of X game is like but Y but with Z so you might need to look carefully to see what peaks your interest.
One Youtuber that covers a lot of what you are talking about is JarekTheGamingDragon. Someone else mentioned Trepang2 for example and this was his review.
All the article is trying to say is Cyberpunk took development expenses to another level.
He may have been jesting with the interviewer, but it’s not far from being the truth. It was revealed that year that Cyberpunk 2077 was a drastically expensive game to both develop and fix. It cost CD Projekt a whopping $125 million to fix the game and pump it with new content after it was released – the firm spent $21 million alone in marketing for the Phantom Liberty expansion. That’s more than some developers spend on an entire game.
By the time CD Projekt was ready to move away from Cyberpunk 2077, almost half a billion dollars had been invested in the game. If budget alone is enough to make a game ‘AAAAA’, CDP came close to that designation with Cyberpunk 2077.
Someone else linked one related modding but there are several other Minecraft communities that are more niche. There’s one specifically for seeds for example.
