Ubi also needs to just kill Beyond Good and Evil 2 at this point. There’s no way anything good can come from a project with 17 years of development and nothing really to show for it.
Just a heads up, there’s a good review on the steam page that breaks it down a bit and it seems this is less a free game and very much a F2P game with a battle pass and expensive currency.
Going back though, I’d probably just skip the first now. 2 improved on 1 in every way. 3 and ultimate was also good but a bit bloated. Then we get a slew of mixed to bad games until we get to the nether realms era.
So basically play 2 then play series that starts with the 2011 Mortal Kombat
Year 1 I went hard on pokemon go, I committed to the original 150 (I don’t recognize anything past red and blue) that were available and in my region then peaced out. There wasn’t anything there past my nostalgia.
The Peppa Pig game is surprisingly open. If you just walk off screen it lets you keep going and you end up in new locations. Hop on the bus and end up in another location. There aren’t many blocks to stop you from going where you feel like going and there’s a variety of activities at each location.
TLOU Part 1 was a 2023 release, even though it’s just a remake but at least I can let that slide. Even SIFU was a 2023 Steam release so I can let that slide. RDR2 is in a category that specifically built for games before 2023. What I can’t let slide is giving it the labor of love award. It hasn’t been touched since launch and the online component is a gong-show because of it’s bugs and cheaters. Even the singleplayer mode had a huge audio bug that affected many people (including myself) and the only work around was getting some guys script that you have to run before launching the game.
It’s completely abandoned by Rockstar and does not deserve to come anywhere close to the “Labor of Love” award.
I loved this game too but I was never able to finish it. The game kept getting incrementally slower as I progressed like it was having trouble processing everything. Happened on both my Switch and Xbox Series X. Hopefully the PC version is better.
Because he’s one of the few devs with true name recognition. All video game awards shows have always been chasing the Oscars but the film industry is full of massive celebrities. Not just stars but directors and even some writers and producers.
So Kojima has that. Plus his work always shows well. It’s usually something unique and cinematic.
