Yeah exactly. It was just an example of a 2d map sucking. 2d or 3D, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s useful.
There is no excuse for a useless map in 2023 but I still see them. The ragnarok map is awful in 2d. It should be practical and serve its purpose. These kinds of changes are welcome.
True. How else would you get across the continent sized map with leveled off regions?
This game was a mistake. If this came out around the time of black flag it would have done better imo. The novelty of ship battles has worn off.

I have never played those are they 200 hours long? I’ve personally never played a game as expansive as the current AC games that were not full of filler and artificial time extenders.
Stuff like the Witcher 3 is pretty great about limited filler but that is 100 hours tops. I got the plat in 100 hours and the hardest difficulty took me forever.
Name a 200 hour game that isn’t full of filler.
This sounds amazing. Assassins creed 1 and 2 were always my favorites. I don’t want a 200 hour long assassins creed.

You’re old enough to remember a loyal workforce who put in a honest days work. They put in their time and got a pension. The generation that is retired now is living on that pension and social security that comes out of everyone’s check not just rich people taxes. Social security was supposed to be a lockbox for that generation but it’s been wasted for years by the dumbest people on the planet on the dumbest things possible. It’s just another income tax to print fake money an...
Hopefully a prequel in the hero golden age. No guns and colonial architecture or king duties. Fable 1 was special and they need to capture that again. I imagine the perfect fable being a silly version Witcher 3.
I’m not joking I really haven’t turned on my Xbox in like 6 months lol. The last games I played were 360 games. The darkness and F.E.A.R.
I can understand not wanting to show things too early but c’mon. If it’s still “too early” at this point there is some serious mismanagement going on.
Ombieburgers,
I get the argument. It’s just different here, it’s not a lifestyle. We’re not activists. If we wanted to be unionized we would be. It just came out today or yesterday that only 3% of Starbucks employees wanted to unionize.
Americans are basically “I just work here bro” if they screw us we go work somewhere else. It’s not a fight it’s just a living to afford luxury. It’s a different culture built on innovation and chance.

We are not “any country”. Just because it works in Denmark doesn’t mean it will work here. It clearly doesn’t lol. Medicare and Medicaid are trash. Not to mention the VA which is also trash.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Yes I am taxed to hell. Medicare is its own tax, it’s not even a part of the income tax lol. Social security which pays for Medicaid is its own tax, it’s not even included in the income tax. Anything over 8 hours overtime is taken by ...
Warfare is a big one but you are lying to yourself if you don’t think American innovations in all fields have touched the world and grown life expectancy to significant margins. Especially medicine. Just look up patents by country in any field, it’s not even close. Even if you use some knockoff version of a product the innovation likely came from america.
Medicare doesn’t pay for anything at all lol. Some doctors won’t even see you if you are on Medicare. Comparing the US to denmark is dumb it doesn’t scale at all.
You misunderstand. I’m not saying we have a great system. My health insurance is outrageous. I work overtime to pay for mine only to get it taxed to hell to give free Medicaid to people who don’t work at all (another failed socialized medicine in the US).
I’m not against some new form of univers...
Medicare is awful. Do you know anyone on Medicare? My parents went from having amazing insurance to being forced into a worse Medicare program that I am forced to pay for. It’s a pathetic joke and deserves the scrutiny.
The workforce is different here. Americans simply don’t care. The communist SharePay is a European culture thing. The US prioritizes innovation and products over workers. There is a reason innovation across the board in all fields is substantially higher in the US. It’s not even close. Not saying it’s better or worse, it’s just different.
You’re right. Neil druckman isn’t going to make a side scroller but that isn’t the point. He used that as an example of a storytelling style which is the opposite of his style.
Given his film background it’s not surprising that he relies heavily on cutscenes to tell his narratives. It’s also not surprising to see him wanting to do more environmental storytelling because it’s unique to gaming. He’s evolving from a film writer to a game director. It’s only natural.

It would have to be successful without marketing to be like elden ring. If you’re not successful with no marketing then you are just bad at marketing.
