Game pass isn't the answer to everything. Ark Survival Evolved is a game that has sold 35 million copies and is free on GP but on Xbox, both official and unofficial servers are dead yet on PC and PS, it's thriving (I love the game and it done have cross play so play it on any system)
I can say I've played the mode less than 25 times but I've only ever had one memorable fight with another team that lasted quite a while and was fun. The rest of the time I find it quite boring personally.
I have heard that the since the season 2 reset there's a lot more missions which encourage PvP so maybe I should give it a try again.
Is it? The mode is mind numbing. To many bots, map to big and not enough PvP.
The Hunt Showdown is still the best Extraction shooter but I can understand why not everyone would agree with me there
I'm not sure if you played the mode or not but The Division had a Dark zone in which you had to go in, grab your supplies and extract with other players and NPCs much like EFT before EFT had even released. It always had a element of an extraction shooter before the genre was even really given its name
Ubi have fallen from grace but with the state of CoD right now and the backlash it's getting from casuals and even it's most loyal content creators, now is best time for any company to try and make a COD rival. People are even flocking to a Roblox creation that's a knock off of COD. It's got that bad and I'm one of those who still plays CoD
The concept of Meet Your Maker is amazing but it's awful art direction and lack of variety in Traps is pretty bad. I'm hoping someone else takes that concept and pushes it further
@petebloodyonion, the difference between 1080p and 4K is huge when playing on a TV? Alot of games drop resolution to 1080p (your TV will say it's native resolution most of the time) to achieve 120fps and the difference is massive in image sharpness and clarity.
Starfield will sadly win GOTY because gamers and journos all praise slightly above average games filled with bugs, bad voice acting, and laughable animations that every other games get scrutinized for.
Bethesda Softworks (Not Arkane, iD and Tango) game reviews: lots of bugs, technical issues and lack of support - 10/10
Any other game review: lots of bugs, technical issues and lack of support - 6/10
This is DLC. Whilst the game is great looking, it's not suddenly going to look and feel much different to how it does now on the PS5 because the engine and code was made to be downscaled to PS4. Until the PS4 is completely dropped and games are developed from the ground up on PS5, we are going to have restraints.
Same.
Start mission, go here, clear this camp/area, kill this person, collect this, throw in random encounter annoyances, repeat. This gameplay loop applies to 90% of open world games. It's so boring because they are so similar. It all feels a bit box tickish.
I also miss large scale set pieces in games such as uncharted and you don't really see that in open world games.
It does happen with movies and music though?
This will be another Bethesda game riddled with bugs, performance issues, no doubt more cringe voice acting and questionable animations that everyone will ignore but scrutinize other games for the exact same issues.
Bethesda get away with murder when releasing quite frankly barely above average games and before you call me a Sony Pony, I've had this view on their average games since Oblivion (Morrowind on the OG Xbox was amazing for it's time).
Be...
Check out the DF video on WZ2 and MW2. The original Xbox One and base PS4 struggles with performance. It wouldn't be a simple case of lowering the resolution as they do that now and it's still hitting below 40fps on XBone and the base PS4, let alone a handheld console that can't even play it's exclusives without technical issues these days.
I've tried so many times for it to 'click' with me but I can't look past the terrible animations, the awful voice acting, dated graphics (they were dated on release). This game is a solid 6 but because it says Bethesda on the front it got 10s. If it was any other games it would get slaughtered in the reviews.
@Otter I think the point Stanjara was trying to make is that N4G has like 0.00000005% influence on VR being a success. If this site went down, we'd Google it. You made it sound like it was the be all and end all lol
N4Gs home page is nowhere near as fast as reporting news as it used to be and sometimes will even be days later. Tbh this site has become pretty late at reporting many things now. I guess it's a dip in users?
Are PC gamers even PC gamers if they aren't complaining or review bombing something?
I did the same. It was a game I was always interested in as I like L4D but I'm so glad I didn't bite the bullet even at sale prices. I deleted it after about a hourish.
Can I ask why? What does the mode do so much that you hope a whole genre dies? Did it stop other games genres or games with multiplayer to stop releasing? Nope.
Do you have the same energy with FPS games that feature a TDM mode, a racing game with a time trail mode or every open world game following the same core gameplay loop?
Wasn't very popular?! What? I was rank in the top 1000 in the world near the games launch and after not playing it for years. I'm now 18,000,000th.... (Some of these could be multiple accounts but it's still a huge number)
In a era when tacked on MP modes was the norm for a lot of games, Factions stood out and was brilliant. It just needed fleshing out more which is what we will hopefully get with the second game
JackB, You must be talking PvE because PvP, especially unofficial is thriving. This isn't a dig at your beloved Xbox but facts are facts. There's not many people playing ARK on Xbox which surprised me when I bought an Xbox that there were so few people playing it there. I know Xbox player base is tiny in comparison to PC and PS but the servers were dead dead
