I'd really like a much bigger map. Apparently the one from 5 is the biggest yet but it doesn't feel it. Everything apart from the city and the mountains feels squashed together, I want multiple cities with space between them.
Oh and a likeable protagonist with a more focused story.
This article would be funny if it wasn't so infuriating.
I didn't like the gameplay a lot at the start and after I finished it the second time I still didn't but everything else about it is so superb that it wasn't a problem. Don't get me wrong the gameplay is functional and it plays ok but it's the story, characters and immense and beautiful world that makes it. I haven't felt emotion from a game like that since I played FF as a teen.
Oh and Gwent.
Michael: unlikeable
Franklin: boring
Trevor: crazy but interesting
I agree. I think those games are only designed that way because the developers couldn't figure out a way to integrate gameplay into the story so they pushed it to the side. Some of the clumsy mini game stuff in Heavy Rain is an example of them trying (and failing) to solve that problem.
Only one game has enjoyable gameplay and it's not the one with all the bricks and ladders.
It looks ok. Take away the intricate level design and twisted atmosphere from Souls though and it rings a bit hollow.
It's insulting to athletes to call people who play games for a living the same thing. Gaming isn't a sport either and never will be, unless it evolves into an augmented reality deal where people are actually getting off their arses and doing something physical.
Maybe pro gamers have their words scrutinised more than sportspeople because the public has a lot more respect for the latter and is more likely to give them a free pass.
If I'm being honest the more I see of this the less I like the look of it. I don't mind the change to gameplay style but I'm doubtful if the writing and acting will be good enough and subtle enough to justify the boy tagging along all game. Epic set pieces are their thing, not so much emotional character focused family themed drama.
Ah well most likely I'll buy it anyway because it'll turn out to be great, just looks clumsy to me while it dips a toe in ...
I like reading reviews for games I don't own, some time after the game came out. Often the hype will get to reviewers and they aren't as objective as they could be.
I'd like a non linear action shooter with a whole ship to explore and platforming elements. I'd rather a Dead Space type of action horror than hiding and waiting for the threat to go.
Multiplayer could be fun too.
Yeah I loved those games but the open world of Paradise just didn't do it for me.
I had a conversation with someone who had a huge book welded to their hand that they were oblivious to, to be fair I mainly remember it because it was the only glitch I encountered in such an enormous game.
Sounds shite.
Jealous of the people who like the series but having played this yet. One of the best games ever made.
How dare you assume that Rin is trans. How dare you. I'm immensely offended and will never go on the internet again in protest.
Make the backstab mechanic in line with how it is in DS3 and it'd be cool if they mixed up enemy placement for NG+, from memory only DS2 did that but it worked well.
I was baffled by the hype when I found that the game was a ladder putting up and regenerating brick throwing simulator. Some aspects of the game were superb but I didn't enjoy the actual gameplay which obviously is a big problem.
Totally agree with the article I felt like I was mixing and matching men's and women's clothes for a big portion of the game. Didn't mind though it added to the charm seeing Geralt looking like a tool in cutscenes. Never did find an armour set I liked much apart from Undvik.
I more or less wrote it off when I saw how clunky the dialogue and animations were but it's drawn me back in with everything else it offers. I'm reading Bernard Cornwell's novels (The Last Kingdom) and this looks like them brought to life.
