See, I had different expectations. I didn't think Bioware could succeed with a game like this, and they didn't. Of course the visuals and world looked impressive, but I knew that's all we were going to get.
This game looked awful from the get-go.
It 'did' wrap up nicely though.
The beach house and their daughter, and the possibility that one day she could take the mantle as the family treasure hunter.
Naughty Dog left the door open, and that's good, but for now, yeah, I'd like to see something entirely new.
I agree 100%.
Sony's studios could do some damage in the sci-fi genre and I mean that in the best way possible. I hadn't really even thought about that until I read your comment and realized "Fuck yes they could make a good sci-fi IP."
This is the kind of game I've been wanting to play lately.
People's penchant for getting together and shooting hordes of enemy AI hasn't waned much over the years. The way I see it, zombies themselves were never the problem. People still enjoy zombies.
I don't think there was ever traditional zombie fatigue (maybe a little) but I 'do' think people are tired of the Nazi/Zombie collaboration not just in gaming, but in culture period. 'Undead Nazis' are under the Zombie genre umbrella now, and between Call ...
Because they're a very talented studio, life is short, and they can do anything. They've done Uncharted four times now. I want to see 'new' works of genius.
That said, I probably wouldn't sneeze at another Uncharted. I wouldn't be best pleased, but I wouldn't sneeze.
Who 'did' say multi-player was dying? Not anyone I've heard of.
Nobody wants multi-player to die, but people don't want it in games where it doesn't belong and can't possibly succeed, like a Tomb Raider game. It's a waste of time and resources and can do single-player campaigns a disservice when they're resource draining.
I bought "The Darkness" (an old game I'm very fond of) the other day on Xbox back-compat...
Now we just need 'The Golden Snipers.' Nineties and above only.
It's late, and frankly, it's pretty pointless. If you 'must' have an Xbox at this juncture, buy the X. Buying such a bland, underpowered console this late in the gen makes little sense.
The mid-gen consoles are what developers are focusing on at this point and time, and games are starting to run poorly on base hardware - especially this hardware.
That 'rule' should be universally applied to all games and people, then?
I believe so, and I do believe it's coming this gen. It 'has' been advertised as a PS4/Xbox One game as well as PC of course.
I would have no problem with Halo having a battle royale mode; in fact I think it could be more interesting than any other type of battle royale out there, given the way Halo plays. I'm not a big Halo fan these days. I abandoned it after Halo 3. The Prometheans rubbed me the wrong way, and the campaigns got progressively worse, but I digress.
That said, there's a negative view surrounding the battle royale craze. Some see it as cheap; cheap in the sense that it'...
It sounds like they're still a ways off from completion. Fine by me; in fact I wouldn't mind a release on next-gen consoles. Not one bit.
You're spot on, though there's obviously more to it than just laziness or intellectual laziness. Validation is the only logical conclusion, and along with anonymity, well, we see the results.
Do you think they'd behave this way in a GameStop or Best Buy line? My guess is most certainly 'no.'
They really always have done their own thing, but I've heard some devspeak lately that I wasn't too fond of. Still know nothing though.
Nobody has any idea what this game is going to be. Will it be next-gen traditional Halo? Will it be GaaSy setup? Will it be something entirely different; maybe heavily narrative-driven like what they did with God of War?
If they did a single player campaign in GoW style that could be incredible, plus they could d...
That's a little low, all things considered - you said so yourself. I see $500 or 'possibly' $600, but I'm really leaning toward the $500. It just 'seems' like the sweet spot.
It's really all about what the casual consumer is willing to part with. They don't see the tech inside; they only see the price.
It is sad that you're automatically labelled 'one of them' if you point out something that you don't like - I agree.
There's not a lot of objectivity here, but you're not helping matters. Tell us what you don't like about the game, but do it in a cooler manner. Don't let these people get to you.
It looks like a fun little play through, and the interpretation of Oregon looks great. I noticed some early Assassin's Creed-like mechanics, like staying within a radius to eavesdrop on a conversation. Looks like an easy plat. Just clear everything out and complete all optional objectives.
Few more days and I can get to it.
If we're using an IGN type system, I'd guess 8 - 8.5. There's been a lot of previewing and people have had up to an hour to play and express their thoughts.
Granted, they've only been allowed to play for an hour and talk about that first hour, so we'll see. I don't predict incredible but I do predict a 'good' game.
