Both POE games were fantastic imo. I would love to see a proper third entry. I doubt itll happen though seeing as especially the second game didnt do as well as expected despite having a fairly small budget.
People seem to rarely consider the direction these studios were going in before these purchases. Most recent Bethesda titles were massive flops. How long do you think they couldve kept operating on such losses without considering massive layoffs? When it comes to Embracer, a number of the studios they purchased were basically dead in the water. Like Volitioon behind Saints Row who were on life support for almost a decade. With their last big budget title being Agents of Mayhem which did like ...
Dont forget how most things are marked to let you know what to expect, killing any sense of surprise. Turning much of what used to make Bethesda games stand out now into one of its weakest features.
Its so stupid how in third person you get this nice wide angle yet somehow in first person its like youre missing one eye. I hope theres FOV sliders.
The whole point of exploration is to go out and stumble upon things that you didnt expect like fun activities or cool loot. Fun for many people is that element of surprise...
Exactly, this game has 0 innovation. Everything has already been done before here, by Bethesda themselfs no less. Years back when Todd was showing off Skyrim going "see that mountain. you can go there" actually sounded impressive becouse you knew it ment you could literally walk straight up that mountain, no loading screens nothing! Now we have gone backwards.
I kinda agree, it looks very budget. Much of the presentation just comes across as soulless. Even seeing the npcs be these faceless creatures doesnt really help.
Its funny how we have have come so far that people are comfortable saying playing the game to get something is a "nice plus" like you should be grateful they even allow it. Truly sad honestly...
I feel like first person wouldve been a better option for this game. All you do is walk around small tight corridors exploring the ship.
Supposedly the studio behind GTA remasters is no longer working with Rockstar, like they arent involved with them at all anymore so im curious whos working on this remake if its true.
Dude, for generations consoles used to have massive loading times and countless titles would have regular drops to sub 20fps, especially in 360/ps3 era. Hell i remember GTAV on ps3 would outright freeze when you threw a grenade at a few vehicles.
And yet people still played games and still enjoyed them.
Exactly, and considering how early much of this tech is its very disappointing to hear this. On the one end we have them pushing high resolutions/detail and yet were constantly forced to rely on upscaling software that degrades the image quality.
The point is people are playing and paying despite all the drama that always happens. Wether it be the hong kong thing, the allegations or the whole Diablo Immortal being the worst game ever made. You name it, people always still line up to buy their products.
Reality is Acti/Blizz is like Apple of gaming, they cannot fail.
Really? Quick time events and being confined to the most basic movement and attacks is what you consider the pinnacle of game design?
Its funny to me how so many of these games seemingly aimed at adults actually treating their players as children.
Judging by the general reception prior to all of this i think most involved thought it would go through without too much hassle. Instead it turned out to be a whole event.
I mean reality is weve seen much worse purchases go through without a peep, like big pharma buying out big competititors is very common. And id argue thats much more scary.
Its not so much that people are tired its that most already commited so much money and time into some of these games they rather stick to that. Which is why all these new live service games fail miserably, weve seen literally dozens of fairly hyped new titles get shut down this year.
Its unrealistic to expect people to even have enough money to just be dumping hundreds of dollar on skins in multiple titles like that.
Riiight, all those real time shadows, volumetric fog etc being removed is just a artistic choice im sure.
FH is not on PS so im sure theres people out there happy seeing this.
God no, the studio in charge of this has made 2 games so far both of which were awful. I dont want these people to be rewriting anything. Just give us better visuals/controls and thats it.
But but but hackers are only on PC? Daddy Soyny please say this isnt true!
