They have done such a fantastic job of lowering the quality of their games over the last ten years that when you look back on AC3, it’s so much better by comparison now, it is hard to be disappointed with it.
A lot of studios have been elevating their legacy titles in exactly the same way lately. Looking at you BioWare.
Thank god in heaven. Maybe we will get some single player games again soon instead of GAAS trash.
You can literally pick any other class and you would be more correct than this article.
Dunkey is gonna be all over this
@CobraKai Nothing “weak” about reading a few reviews before spending time and money on something. Only a moron would pay a publisher blindly before even trying to figure out if the product was good or even functional.
Sleeping on Baldur’s Gate 3 would be a shame. Nothing Bethesda has done in the last ten years has come close to a game like Divinity Original Sin 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 looks light years ahead of even that.
Even if that is true…which I highly doubt… it’s still horrific story telling. A good story teller doesn’t burden the audience with understanding a needlessly complex plot. This is a series that literally defines itself by throwing a ton of characters together that have no business ever existing in the same universe with one another and then justifying it with a mess of convoluted dialogue.
The only game in the series that succeeded at story telling was the first one because...
It seems like they would have at least waited for the release of Sfarfield to raise prices. If the game does well, everyone has added incentive to buy the new console. Doing it beforehand just signals a lack of confidence of Microsoft’s part. It looks like they want to capitalize on the hype of Starfield while it’s still high. But I doubt Microsoft execs would even know if Starfield is going to be a hit or not. They aren’t really gamers.
I actually don’t think exclusivity is the problem. It’s the change in business model. GamePass is real issue. There is absolutely no way that don’t turn that platform into a giant micro transaction farm as soon as it succeeds in cutting into Sony and Nintendo’s market share. You don’t make Starfield “free” for the majority of people who can play it unless you plan on selling a ton of horse armor.
What disappoints me is that they bought up good rpg developers to make it happ...
Correction: Xbox bought an incredible line up to take western RPGs away from non-Xbox fans.
All of these games would have released as multiplats if Microsoft hadn’t stepped in. But let’s be honest. They aren’t a game developer, they are a live subscription service. Can’t get billions off of microtransactions if you allow games like Skyrim and Fallout to release. Hell, gamers will pay 60 dollars for those titles once and play them for a decade. Have no fear though, the nex...
If it’s good, I’ll get it on PC. I’m pretty sure my 1650 can handle 30 frames per second.
Of course it does. Fable and Avowed were announced way back in 2020 and Starfield was announced before the Bethesda acquisition in 2019. Sony actually... you know... released most of the games it announced back then.
If any of these games come out and are actually RPGs when they release, then sure. Unfortunately, Microsoft has a habit of complicating development for even the best studios they partner with, and companies like inXile and Obsidian, while they have a lot of talent, don't always work well under pressure. I predict a lot of Scalebound type disasters in the next few years. Hopefully, Starfield won't be one of them, but I recommend giving it a few weeks after launch (when the credible rev...
Ha! 10/10 though, just about everywhere you look. Nothing like paying 70 dollars for a reskin of Diablo 3 with super expensive cosmetics. You gotta love this industry.
Honestly, they should just let Microsoft buy these clowns. This bubble is going to burst eventually and when it does it's gonna be hilarious.
They have the studios for sure, but they haven’t released anything since those acquisitions. So far, Obsidian, the best western rpg developer in their portfolio, has released a multiplayer survival game and a point and click adventure game since their acquisition.
They also acquired Arkane, a studio know for making the best immersive sims in the business and they have released Redfall since the acquisition, enough said there.
Bethesda has Starfield coming out, but eac...
I have to agree that there is some cause for concern. ND used some of its staff on a pretty but unnecessary remake, and some of its staff has been working on a multiplayer Last of Us game that seems to be in development purgatory.
Filling the show with Live Service teaser trailers and movie previews does not look good. The ps5 has enjoyed a great launch and has had some excellent first party titles so far, but most of these releases up to SpiderMan 2 were probably set into...
Yoshida: "We got a lot of feedback about how the Final Fantasy series felt very classic or old or maybe even stale..."
It's literally a quote from the Japanese creator of the game. Try reading the article before complaining next time. Knowledge is power, kids.
Try Glitchless speedruns then.
“Refreshing Looter Shooter” LOL
Sony doesn’t tie bonuses to meta. That’s a scumbag Bethesda move.
