Will Wright's Spore is aiming to set precedents in many ways, and it's also set to break a long-standing Maxis tradition: the game ends. Producer Thomas Vu told us that the space phase of the game is what he considers the RPG phase, with 15 to 20 hours of gameplay and -- prepare to be floored -- one ending. No matter how your species lives its existence, it always ends the same way as you make your way to the center of the universe.
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."
I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.
"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"
Really?
MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.
Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.
Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.
THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
While we have witnessed a lot of remakes, remasters and even sequels to games a decade old. There are still some gems that are close to my heart that are lost to me. Here are some classic games that I'd love to either see remakes or remasters of, or even a sequel on new hardware.
For a game that is as talked up as it is, why only one ending and only 15-20 hours of gameplay?
I think people assumed this would be an infinite running game.
Wright may have shot himself in the foot a little here.
If it's an end like in Super Mario Galaxy, they can keep it.
Wait, think about this for a minute.
Anyone know the full game time? Well i'd suggest it would be about 40-50 hours total. Also, the replay possiblilty is endless, with customizations ect, i think this is a way to improve reply even more, sure you could start, play to space age, then make another creature, and do the same, but with an actual ending the player, us, will be rewarded for all our efforts, with an end game.
I dont think this is a bad idea, and yes i know, its a new thing for Maxis to do, however, i do not think that after the you finish the game for the first time, you'll be done with it, as i for one am a huge fan of (most) Maxis games, however, i would like to see my species working towards a final goal; whatever it may be.
Also, everything i hear about this game makes me love it even more; cept the security software (are they still using it btw?) and i cannot wait to evolve my species through the ages :)
We'll destroy and eradicate all other species that don't conform to our rules and become the dominant supreme ruler of a dying, wasteland universe. Oh wait, isn't that Bush and Cheney's plan? My bad, sorry.
Althought amusing, you are not 100% correct, as you will be able to evolve and solve problems without eridicating the emeny, there can be a peaceful Universe you know.
