Everything looked amazing from a technical standpoint, but I couldn’t help but think that some design choices were very derivative of things like Guardians of the Galaxy and/or Cowboy Bebop, which is not a bad thing at all, but I kind of expected something more “out there”. Also, not digging the character designs. They are either: face scanned prolific actors (which kills character design, IMO) or simply too generic looking. Hoping to see more and see how it builds up from this reveal.
The Witcher always build up to this. It makes sense. Just hope Geralt sticks around in an important way, somehow (maybe even playable in some segments?).
Being third person is not what defines Uncharted and Tomb Raider. Not any other game for that matter. A game can be third person and still have its particularities. Might as well say that “Indiana Jones is not Mirror’s Edge and Resident Evil 7, why is it in First Person”. If they changed the perspective to avoid association with other popular titles, it’s a sign that there is not enough there to tell this title apart in the first place… which is a much deeper problem.
Yep. And the game isn’t in Spanish. Another user made a great argument below, I will not add to it. (:
Sure. Yet, that is how history books refer to Queen Isabella. In several languages, actually. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
They are going with romanized/westernized names. Genghis Khan was also not named Genghis to his people, nor Cyrus from Persia was actually named Cyrus...
It’s perfectly placed in BG3. It’s entirely optional.
Agreed. Actually, I think most games aren’t even subtle. If people are missing the obvious political messages contained in games such as Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil and Mass Effect, they are simply not paying attention at all to the story (which is fine, some people only play for gameplay).
No. Starfield is a failure in every single way. This is not a compliment to DA, though.
Review bombing does nothing anymore. Most games that get review bombed either: sell despite it, because people are aware that the players review bombing have an agenda themselves (attacking a console exclusive, attacking a game because it’s woke, grifting, or whatever is the hot word right now, attacking a game because it’s from a particular developer, etc.); or they already thought the game was bad/good anyways and were already set on buying or not.
What speaks nowadays is...
Pity. They had really good localization.
@RiseNShine You are so funny. Now I know you were just being sarcastic. Keep it up!
@RiseNShine In BG3 same sex characters hit on you all the time, there are several trans NPC's, a "woman" in a certain place even has a male voice, nad she isn't a particularly obscure NPC either. Hell, from the character creation screen you can basically create a woman with a dick and a male voice, and they don't even have "sex" or "gender" as an option. There is absolutely no escaping the woke shit from Baldur's Gate 3. Just because you CHOSE to ...
Baldur’s Gate is laughing at your statement.
“GamePass” =/= “Sales”
I was going to say that, that he was misquoted and that the actual interview praises the Remake quite a bit, and just says that it’s quite faithful, with negligible changes, but I was sure I was going to get downvoted to hell, so… Thank you for shedding some light here.
Yeah. The "open hub" model with "quest givers" really did not work at all for me.
Yep. BioWare has been pumping bad games after bad games. Anthem, Andromeda... Also, the first trailer for Veilguard was abysmal, not only that plus the development cycle was very well known to be extremely troublesome. While the gameplay videos look nice, I think it's fair to say that people are on a "wait and see" approach.
Too bad most of the talent that made BioWare’s strengths, already left.
No goals, just voicing my opinion. No need to get triggered.
