Civilization V literally looks like a Fischer-Price toy but manages to actually make it clear what's going on and how to do things. VI's manages to overwhelm me in contrast.

downloaded outer worlds from game pass since i played a teeny bit of it on Xbox before I put it away thanks to corona moving noticed the crosshair was centered down a la Halo, immediately switched to Google to determine if this was an option quote:nearly 1 year ago didn't want to play that game i guess

Then Microsoft came along and they just slapped together what they had into a droll mix of Fallout/Borderlands with visuals cribbed from Bioshock and No Man's Sky. It's not an outright bad game, just really drat boring and pointless.

Bad gunplay, bad movement, bad RPG mechanics, characters that are just Firefly characters re-written to be legally distinct enough to not be sued, and the story was toothless and soulless. It was written like someone who maybe heard about how capitalism was bad on twitter one day but thought it was a kind of tongue-in-cheek thing, then focused on writing a script that couldn't be construed to be critical of the company, its publishing company, or anyone with stock involved. i really am curious why the game was so crap, seems easy to blame Microsoft but for all I know they really released their original vision as intended. Have any developers explained what went wrong or provided any excuses for it?

I see you're unfamiliar with "The Obsidian Rule", every game they've ever created was inevitably going to be a flawless masterpiece if not for external pressures outside of their control. They could have pulled it off too, if it wasn't for you meddling publishers and your budgets/deadlines!

REALLY bad! it handled and felt like a third person cover shooter, but it thought like loving baldur's gate. there was a huge amount of dice rolling and turn-counting under the hood that made players inaccurate or do crappy damage. and underneath that layer of poo poo, is a season of 24 that reacts appropriately to everything you do. if you ever wanted jack bauer to flip his handlers the bird and join the terrorists, well, have i got the game for you brother Fur20 fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Sep 3, 2020 |

Alpha Protocol is a cool game that does its own thing and does it very well, but it's also really badly made. Like it leans in hard to the RPG dialogue role playing thing and it makes actual differences on the plot and how characters interact with you. You can have completely different playthroughs depending on what you want to do and when. But it's unbalanced, and if you put all your points in to the pistol skills then you can moonwalk through the game. I think the reviews were very harsh on it on release, but it's a cult hit. No idea if it could have been good if they had more time or whatever, but it's a very cool game for doing what it does.

And it’s for little details, like getting chewed out by your contact for coming to a clandestine meeting in public wearing your normal armor instead of changing into civilian clothes. Or an enemy that stays professional and leaves after doing his job that you can instead goad into fighting you (and dying) by acting totally unprofessionally and pissing him off but ONLY if you act like that in general because if you only do it to him he easily figures out what you’re trying to do and respects you for it. There’s very little to praise it for as an actual game, however

Alpha Protocol is basically an unfinished, under-budgeted game that if it were completed would have been a GOTY, but unfortunately we got what we got and it has to settle for perpetually over-rated goon game

Planned scarcity of the Mario remakes is a good thing and makes the nostalgia of them that much more special by relegating these games to the past.

Outer Worlds: it was definitely a wannabe Fallout In Space!!! but it ended up just being dull as all hell. It's only been a few months but I can barely remember any standout characters, dialogue, gunplay, neat gear. Just that every corporation was evil, although some were slightly less evil. I'm pretty sure I finished the game, but still can't be bothered to go back and remember what it was about. If it's on sale for a few bucks maybe give it a go to pass the time, but it's not what you'd call fun. Vaguely competent, stripped-down, and dull.
