I still dont believe that this game is as bad as people want to make it and I’m quiet surprised that my youtube timeline is full of spoilers for it (and I only watched Skillup’s video, so I dont know where this is coming from), as in people want to actually ruin the game for everyone. I think I will pick it up as soon as I’m done with Guild Wars 2 which, let’s be honest here, will be never…

How the hell has this game gotten 8/10?

maybe it’s not that bad? I mean the only big outlet who actually think its that bad and is riding this meta is IGN and I dont understand why people suddenly follow IGN or give a shit about their review/oppinion so much. Youtubers like Skillup for example actually liked the game, it sure won’t be a GOTY nominee or will get 9’s and 10’s, but I personally still can have fun with a 7 out of 10 which where I see the game could be landing.

Maybe this is because I’ve never played a Zelda game before so I have no nostalgia attached to it?

Don’t know about that, because I very much grew up with Zelda for the Gameboy, SNES and of course N64 and I loved them all. Maybe it’s just Breath of the Wild…

Yeah I also couldn’t get the hang on Doom Eternal. Loved the first one but the second one cramped so many unnecessary elements into it and made it too complicated. The first one was a simple but highly effective shooter, but the second one was just bloated with stuff nobody asked for.

We used to play a variety of games. Halo, warcraft, Smite, League of Legends… Now I have no gaming friends left as they refuse to play anything other than Apex Legends or the latest greatest Call of Duty.

sorry to hear that :(

So many people say it’s the pinnacle of SW games

nah Jedi Knight 2 was the pinnacle of SW games and maybe the second Battlefront.

you can disable all the guides in the Witcher and play it without any gps or handholding. Combine that with the highest difficulty where you actually have to prepare yourself with potions and you have a great experience.

You’re missing out on a fucking great game.

oh no :(

As a german this is really hitting me. One of the last “legendary” game developers here, with a very particular style and history. Gothic was also one of the first games I have ever played which got me into the hobby.

at least it’s not a 60€+ title. Hope the rest of the features of the original are still in place.

Guild Wars 2

still Avatar and since I got Alan Wake 2 in the Epic sale I started to replay the original. The free remaster you got with Alan Wake 2 unfortunately has some nasty visual bugs on amd hardware and too often shatters my immersion with glitches and black screens, but since it only ups the assets I’m fine with the original which is still an awesome looking game and perfectly playable in 2023.

I really like it and since there are no Icons or compass it’s really not that type of game. I have the impression that most of the people just repeat the nonsense they heard somewhere.

Yes they are outpost but you don’t have to clear them like in FarCry, you can simply follow the story or some some nice written side quests or just explore the world on your ikran. The traversal through the world is amazing and really well done by massive and on top of that you have an unobtrusive gear and skill system for your character.

So overall the game is really good and gets really amazing if you’re a fan of the movies or the world.

so what? Farmers farm and designers design and talk about design…just pick the job you want to do. Should I now feel bad that I’m a visual designer instead of a farmer ?

the logo sucks though…

with AI on the rise of course they do. In our sister company they now axed the whole marketing department and introduced their stupid idea to do everything with ai…

what do you think?

that was his idea.

A month later they needed some UI designs so the CEO came with an urgent task to my team and I told him to fuck off and leave my team alone and that he should ask chat gpt for some designs…

I feel you. My mom is a nurse, people like her deserve a shitload of money and not the people who are pushing pixels…but it’s the world we live and and we can always try to give back.

me too, it’s really a very good game and a even greater game for avatar fans 🙂

It would be really awesome if Massive would have developed Skull and Bones, because I think with their expertise in mmo gameplay and engine development they would have given us something really great, instead of the frankenstein monster we have now.

But related to the topic, Avatar is easily the best looking open world game of this year and I look forward to their Star Wars Game game and the next installment in the Division!

because it’s a fucking good game. There, spared you the video.

Nice! Alan Wake 2 + the Remaster for 30 bucks seems like a great deal!

Lol I get downvoted because I use Epic…🤣

I really don’t care what launcher I have to start (funny thing, for most epic games you don’t even need the launcher) and don’t know what the problem is with it and really don’t care though. And regarding Alan Wake 2, don’t forget that Epic funded the game and made it possible for Remedy do develop it…they are also quit happy with the partnership so I guess it’s a win for Remedy.

I pirated it and will buy it on sale on Steam whenever that happens.

I really hope you do, pirating sucks!

Get some money out of the “game” and then just disappear.

Is this even possible with the way steam handles the payment of developers? If I remember correctly you get the money not directly and steam also freezes a certain part for refunds.

it’s build in Unreal Engine…

The game is really good, like the Pandora version of FarCry Primal (last FarCry I actually played) but with better graphics und new fun gameplay elements like flying and an awesome open world. But if you are an Avatar fan the game is fucking amazing and an absolute must have imho.

Also the graphics and optimization are really awesome, rocking 110+ fps on a 6900XT on 1440p with FSR 3 and frame generation with everything on high or ultra.

So definitely would give this an 7.5 or 8 for normis and a solid 9 for Avatar fans.

Don’t know what kind of videos or ads you have seen, but the graphics are really that amazing. Last time I saw such an amazing and dense rain forest was in Crysis.

the trailer looks great and really has that fallout spirit somewhere between funny, gruesome and batshit crazy.

Also great to see Walton Goggins in the cast, he’s a great actor

TV shows/movies based on games are usually just a cash grab that play on people’s love of the source materia

I really disagree on that. Most recent videogame adaptions have been pretty awesome: Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Last of Us, Castlevania. Sure there are some stinkers out there, but the quality really went up in the last years.

avater, 6 miesięcy temu

No not really. There’s a reason you hire experts to do a job and I for instance hates it if someone try’s to explain to me, a designer, what a good design is…
