Dewey Who?

Dewey have to have a good story and good gameplay or can we just make it look nice and shove it out the door with tons of marketing and sell several million copies?

I'm glad The Order is coming out soon so everyone can proceed to shut up about it

seriously this is the only place I've even seen people talking about it. Then again this is literally the only video games forum I visit because all the others are somehow so much worse

Goons are basically buzzards when it comes to video games. Also:

Bloodborne will get an 89 on Metacritic and sell fewer than 1.4 million copies in its first month. The Order will get a 75(lower if it has technical problems) on Metacritic and outsell Bloodborne but also sell fewer than 1.4 million copies.

I'm sticking to that prediction. No several million copies.

Putting out Darksiders 2 on current gen sure seems like a naked cash grab. Its not like the game was pushing the limits of what the PS3 could do.

Darksiders 2 on PC with a few graphics mods looks amazing and plays great. I've played through it a few times on Steam, and I'm always just floored at how well put together it is. I'm definitely down to pick it up on the four.

And for what it's worth while I think there's a better way to make doing that profitable without selling maps, they are releasing new game modes and weapons and stuff for free to everyone which I think is cool. I like The Last Of Us MP and I understand that you can do well in it without buying them, but selling weapons and perks and poo poo for 99 cents apiece is pretty loving weak I think

I'll take it over maps. I'd rather DLC doesn't fragment the community. Ideally they should just be charging for cosmetic stuff and releasing weapons for free when they release new hats or whatever to get people playing. Honestly I don't have a huge problem with it as long as the weapons and perks stay balanced, and everyone can play together.

The new Resogun Weekly Challenge is kinda nuts. It turns it into a full-on 360° dual-joystick shooter.

The novelty is cool but goddamn I hate 360 degree shooters so much. I'm so terrible at this. Stardust is a cool looking little ship though.

No, it doesn't, because that is probably something they wanted to save for the sequel, given that (massive Order spoiler) your organization is being manipulated by the bad guys and the people you thought were villains were actually fighting the greater evil! However, it does actually have two different characters say that "We're not that different" line.

This is wonderful.

Problem is that game designers are not script writers. They think they are but really they just end up copying the last dvd box set they watched. See GTA for evidence.
When you get a proper story teller involved then you get something like Enslaved. Really good story that is not dependent on the game.

The Order just seem to be someone sat in a room going "how can we make a fight against vampires and werewolves new and fresh?" and thought steampunk would fix it.

There were 2 streams just now of The Order on PS Live that got pulled, I watched both of em, think both players got maybe 45 minutes into the game.

Got to hear a Korean dude go "Wow" over seeing breasts and penis, plus a QTE where you wrestle a gun away from a naked man.

Call of duty developers spend time making new content, charge 50 for Season Pass, is ok.

Last of Us developers spend time making new content, WHY ISN'T EVERYTHING FREE, gently caress.

So I guess I'm that one guy not interested in the order OR bloodborne.

Can we just have a modern urban fantasy game.
Please

It's a cool setting I promise, technology, a city, magic, you still can have your dude in a sword and ogres, but in a city.
Cool right? Cell phones, coffee shops and grimoires.
We can do this.
