Lol if you don't like blasting space UFO extraterrestrial aliens with a LASER as an idea, as the DLC, and in IRL life.

https://twitter.com/Naughty_Dog/status/1177392945458286595 So it looks like they're going to release some sort of stand alone successor to the factions multiplayer. Can't help but be a little cynical about the motivation for the decision. lurker2006 fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Sep 27, 2019 |

Replaying the thief games for the first time in a decade a couple months ago really put it into perspective, "Here's a rough map of the interior to get you started but you'll actually have to rely on your own sense of navigation a little". That sort of expectation is ludicrous outside a select few niche titles and Souls. Didn't achievements teach devs that almost nobody finishes games anymore, and very few even make it more than a handful of hours into any one game? It's why every AAA-game intro is a super-slick playable cutscene and every final boss is a pile of lazy bullshit with a short lame cutscene at the end.

Getting 40% of your players to finish a game is considered a very, very good completion rate.

The NES had better graphcis than the PS4, at least in terms of how much I enjoy looking at them.

Fuckhuge maps just become a blur as you zip through, tighter maps with slower max travel speed make you way more immersed in the world

That sort of expectation is ludicrous outside a select few niche titles and Souls. if you play ff15 with the UI off you get this experience, it's pretty great. the designers put a huge amount of effort into making the dungeons mazey and dungeony but readable with landmarks if you're paying attention if you play ff15 with the UI on you get punished by a couple dungeons that mess with the minimap because they're made up of tons of tiny sub-floors with rooms that only connect above and below themselves lol Ruffian Price posted:Ubisoft has been doing that lately with Odyssey and Breakpoint's unguided modes. Here's some landmarks, go find your way florence in ac2 was a perfectly sized map, but of course the story couldn't be contained to just the one city and all the other areas sucked a lot Fur20 fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Sep 27, 2019 |

Pocket Billiards posted:The story was pretty shite I thought. Hard cringe on all the dialogue from me. the story was great because all the characters who look and talk like they belong in a gentle indie game about learning it’s ok for boys to cry end up suffering horribly and being emotionally destroyed as a result of their hubris and naive selfishness

lurker2006 posted:https://twitter.com/Naughty_Dog/status/1177392945458286595 On the one hand I'm disappointed. On the other, Factions is such a cool mode it could for sure support a standalone game. I just hope it isn't an MTX festival. Hopefully Naughty Dog's first-party status tempers that a bit (just because first-party titles have other ways they generate additional revenue for their publisher, like system sales). Though Naughty Dog hasn't been shy about monetizing their multiplayer modes in the past, so who knows.

I actually have no strong opinion on the switch. My only experience ever playing one was when a friend brought it over when the new Smash Bros came out and like six or seven of us were playing. My review of Switch Smash: game's alright but man these controllers are hot loving garbage,
