If no more heroes was actually fun to play it would be one of the greatest games of all time

These weirdly empty and soulless japanese free roam games are weird. No More Heroes indeed.

No More Heroes is a weird one gameplay wise but in general it's like they saw the popularity of GTA and tried to copy that, but took out all the spontaneous crimes.

nope. You need at least two survivors in order to transfer forward. I remember when I did a fail shep run I was able to rig it such that it was 2 disloyal people who would consequently die in me3, but I forget exactly what I did to pull that off.

Would have been funny if you transfered a save where Shep is dead and you just get a short cutscene with Anderson lying dead in front of a crashed Normandy in Vancouver.

Sadly no, Shepard only dies if there is no one left alive to catch them at the end.

A STALKER where you just stand in the open while dudes fire at you and you don't even have to aim down the sight when you eventually return fire does not sound much like the games I used to play.
Although it's obviously possible it was done that way to impress people who have no experience with the series.

It looks so much like a new Metro game it's crazy. I mean, it's no surprise why I guess lol. And they are claiming it's 100 hours :eyepop: Looks so fuckin good.

I'm just pissed it's an xbox timed exclusive so I'm gonna have to wait for PS5 or play on my laptop :sigh:

I hope it was just for the trailer. It even fits the narrative. The PC was telling the guys a story, and charging in makes for a better one.

unpopular opinion: the xbox series of consoles gets a bit of an unfair hammering, its always good to have a competitor and there were a good number of games I really enjoyed that I wouldn't have played otherwise, particularly on the original xbox.

Chronicles of Riddick, Otogi 1 and 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Oddworld: Strangers Wrath, Munch's Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden, Knights of the Old Republic, Forza and Halo are all great games I enjoyed enough to see to the end

On the flip side, Fable and Jade Empire both pretty poor games which I didn't last an hour with

All consoles deserve poo poo because they propagate exclusives as some kind of positive for their hegemonic console wars.

Exclusives suck in regards to console warrioring, but it’s cool when a console maker bankrolls a game as an exclusive that might have not gotten made otherwise. Stuff like Bloodborne or Bayonetta 2 might not have gotten made if it weren’t for exclusives.

Stuff like buying Bethesda so their games aren’t on other platforms blows though.

Starting in the late 90s and to this day arcades added all sorts of gimmicks like transferring save progress between cabinets to nowadays where the machine actually prints out physical cards for you to use on subsequent plays and there are daily login bonuses.

Maybe in the past it was a bad idea but the modern social media discourse has made it pretty evident gamers these days have very strong opinions on the quality of their games, and I don't think they'll happily let quality slip even if they allow for a monopoly to form.

Naw, just go back in time and have them establish a government standards board that forces companies to make all the hardware and software as compatible as possible. Leaving it to competing capitalists was a bad idea forever.
