the game isn’t about conserving ammo. the ammo is about resource planning. you can use fabricators to stock up on ammo. once you get used to it you never even come close to running out.
if you got out of the apartment and didn’t want to finish the game then it’s simply not for you. for me that moment alone was enough to see it through.
i didn’t mean to imply you were arguing for it. i get what you’re saying i just wanted to point out that the industry justifications for it are bullshit.
GTA 6 won’t be worth 80 bucks. no game is. it’s complete horseshit, the inflation argument is bad, the cost of making games argument is worse. don’t buy corpo bullshit.
fair. i just found it well written, funny and witty throughout, with memorable NPCs and a solid pace that I’d prefer to a Bethesda style game, which I was very tired of at that point.
i think most of the backlash against it came from the expectation that it would be literally fallout 3 style open world when it was much more guided and concise.
that being said i don’t think any game should be fucking 70 bucks let alone 80. so I’ll wait for reviews first and a discount second, and only buy it both are positive.
ridiculous. games don’t have to be padded to 4000 hours full of busywork and bullshit to be worth $60. OW1 was more worth $60 than any bethesda game since FO:Vegas, which was incidentally not made by bethesda.
oh god please stop. now you’re saying words you don’t understand. and you’re doing it with dramatic pauses and shit. this is too much. please stop embarrassing yourself.
this is coming from the genius who doesn’t get how name similarity is relevant in IP disputes… it’s not about being exact, Einstein, that’s a very specific issue that this game doesn’t engage in.
i don’t think you’re remembering things well or maybe you played the popular ones. there was a bunch of doom clones that barely tried to be something different. lots of w3d clones too. also this game isn’t called Orion: Null sunrise so your “HELL” example is a bit unwarranted.
i don’t give a shit? doom had like a thousand clones; guess what, doom is still a household name and most of the clones are long forgotten. some good ones made their own name and following.
unless there’s outright stolen assets or code, or they’re using a deliberately confusing name, i don’t care. if it’s a slavish clone as you say, there’s nothing to worry about.
it would be one thing if horizon was this underdog game made by a couple people and has largely gone under the radar then yeah it would suck. but fuck me no one’s mistaking another game for horizon zero dawn.
the first Lara was unapologetically an asshole. she lived in a mansion that most world leaders can’t have in their dreams. it’s not like she was stealing out of necessity. she had a fucking butler and still went out to disturb world heritage sites and steal or destroy everything in them. just for fun.
