It's pretty minimal exploration, though. Like about as much as the secret areas in the original doom games. Story is also optional. You can read about the insane experiments Olivia Pierce was doing or you can punch that monitor and get to ripping and tearing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZGU_JdQAow

FlamingLiberal posted:Considering what Bethesda just announced with Fallout 76 that rumor about Doom Eternal may not be wrong My predictions about the upcoming crisis continue to be true. The talking heads aren't getting it so they're reacting like these companies are just totally insane. I guaran-drat-tee that if we could get our hands on the actual store numbers, the monetization in Anthem and Fallout 76 are doing just fine. Not as well as hoped, but enough to bother taking these PR hits. The only difference with Mars Cities N is that we have at least a first approximation of how much cash they're swindling. Bofast posted:I did play Wolfenstein: New Order for about 6 hours and really liked going the stealth route with throwing knives, but I stopped after the game interrupted the stealth gameplay with yet another set piece of forced detection for the 3rd time or so. Bit conflicted about the whole thing after that. The game needs to warn you about that crap. Like I hate when RPGs don't make it clear that it's scripted so you have to lose a battle even when it's clear you power-leveled enough that you could totally win. BUT the set pieces are rad as hell and worth it. Except the final boss fight is the worst thing ever. BUT the actual end left me totally satisfied anyway.

autism ZX spectrum posted:I don't know if any of these people have actually had any real fun in their lives. I don't know what kind of broke brain ends up with their supreme ultimate videogame fantasy being a bunch of boring poo poo where nothing of interest ever happens. I bet you these goobers play games with all the cheats on so that there's no challenge in them, just victory after flawless victory. They are trying to get something you cannot and should not get from video games. The sperglord who imagined himself as a moderately successful middle manager/ship captain probably thought the game would finally give him respect. A bunch of failed astronauts think it will let them live their dream. People who suffocated their dreams with a pillow long ago think they will find peace digitally cosplaying as Malcolm Reynolds or Boba Fett as long as the simulation has enough fidelity so they can finally fool themselves. Of course they hate fun and basic pleasure. That kind of thing can lead to self-reflection and I doubt that goes well. Kind of sad but mostly self-inflicted so even more mockable.

I thought it was pretty obvious that they were scripted moments in Wolfenstein and the robot dog one was a hilarious scare moment when it first happened. I just don't think the game should present you with an entire stealth playstyle (or some other playstyle) when it's clearly not designed for it. Wind Waker interrupting its normal gameplay by pulling the whole insta-fail no-sword castle stealth section out of nowhere was just as bad.

Bofast posted:I take it you're referring to things like certain Dragon Quest fights that are just there to lose so the devs can force you to experience the story? I don't actually remember specific gameplay moments. But that's a good characterization, yes. They built a whole stealth engine into the game which is rad as hell, but the game just assumes everyone will drop the stealth act at the first possibly opportunity when it's actually the reverse. I was trying to NOT be shooty all the time. Which is a little different from the RPG "you're supposed to lose in this early boss battle" crap. Almost like how it's a really terrible idea for Star Citizen to keep throwing out all these new ideas for gameplay modes when they're not going to be integrated into the overall game. Elite has a similar problem with the SRV / planet exploration mode for instance. Aside from it being vaguely cool to land on a planet once in a while, they're having to write in justifications to ever use the lander, because otherwise why wouldn't you just rain down hot death on the enemy base from orbit? When you create these mechanics, you also create the need to justify them in-game. I'll bet large sums of JPEG money that the stupid mining and garbage truck ships in SC will be the only way to get important resources for ship upgrades or some bullshit. Xenocides posted:They are trying to get something you cannot and should not get from video games. Absolutely there are a lot of people approaching these games in a brokebrain way, agreed. However - the industry as a whole is doing some really despicable things to get people into that mode. I was just talking to my wife about how she realized at one point she was about to buy a $20 pack for Candy Crush when she would have only spent like $3.99 on it new. It's some of both. Some of these people are just sad, lonely people in a funny way. Some of them are sad, lonely people like oh no they actually have mental problems and these game companies are intentionally abusing them. Like you know a lot of these companies are looking at their $50,000+ spenders, and they know the mail room keeps getting hair and pictures of employees with the eyes scratched from those same people, and they absolutely know something is hosed up. ...so they release a $100 battle pass.

It shows you why Shart Citzen is taking so long to officially release.. it's because every single employee is trying to follow those rules and failing miserably.. after an hour at the coffee station burning their hands and getting their pants wet, they eventually give up and walk 15 minutes to the nearest Starbucks and say 'Put it on Chris's tab' then dejectedly return to their desk to play with a mo-cap of Gary Oldman picking his teeth.

Play posted:lmao your characterization of Rimmer is pitch perfect, thanks for reminding me of Red Dwarf. I was actually way too young for the show I think but I ended up picking up some of their novelizations which are downright genius An inside look at CiG with Chris Roberts pointing out someone failing as basic coffee making: “We have coffee protocols for a reason - to safeguard the team. I noticed you missed a few steps.” “What team? The original team? They all quit when you demanded they retool the atmospheric system to more accurately measure the level of Argon and stray neutrinos and then spilled coffee on the last few months of retooling.” “Which is why the whole health and safety protocol procedure has been updated. Because, ultimately, who was truly to blame for that accident? The man or the system?” “The man.” “Was it the man, though?” “It was, yes.” “Or was it the system?” “It was the man, definitely the man.” “A system that allowed a CEO to handle coffee without adequate training or know-how and in a world that lacks the fidelity the Verse will have. A system that has since been completely overhauled by an engineer I pulled from working on the velocity engine, so that an accident of that nature never happens again. Incidentally I also need coffee spills added to the Verse; time for a janitor class.” “So what you're saying is, you learned valuable safety lessons from destroying months of work yet again and, as a result, you've updated the safety regulations and added a pointless and tedious task to the game that no one will want to do and made this office a much safer working environment for the team you drove out.” “Scoff away, but the point is we have new regulations, which means that you're going to have to start all over making that coffee. Also, that pixel there should be slightly more blue.’ Turning back as he walks away: “Oh, and I have decided to add the option to play as a space dragon. Make sure the dragon flame is influenced by neutrinos and Argon with complete fidelity. Need a dragon jpeg by 5 so we can sell this over the weekend so I can get a new yacht. Let me know when it is ready. I will be in my wankpod.”
