MechanicalTomPetty posted:What the gently caress, when did Telltale come back from the dead? Didn't they fold completely because they were up to their eyeballs in debt? Or is this one of those cases where someone just buys the name of an old company for cheap brand recognition and its actually just a completely new team. (I guess not completely since you said they brought the core crew back but surely not everyone or structured the same way?) Does it even matter? Old Telltale ballooned so quickly after The Walking Dead and had so many projects going on at the same time for a while. I imagine besides the growth the employee turnover was also insane even before they died. Also, the new Tales of the Borderlands seems entirely made by Gearbox, so I'm not expecting much from that.

New Tales from Borderlands is gonna be a game made entirely out of the same stuff people mod out of Borderlands 3 completely.

Mordja posted:Boy, one thing about Star Wars: Squadrons I was not prepared for was the absolutely dogshit writing. Worst in class. Game's very mixed otherwise, some missions are decent, some are awful, and they definitely pale in comparison to Freespace's design. Never played Tie Fighter and its ilk so can't compare it to those. The whole single player campaign is basically a really long tutorial for the multiplayer the game is actually about. It's cool in VR with a HOTAS though I wouldn't recommend spending several hundred dollars to play a 5 hour single player campaign.

Yeah I figured that out after they make you play as an unarmed support ship in one particularly unfun mission. Great thinking on their part, considering the multiplayer assumedly has a double digit playerbase these days.

Holy poo poo, how do you gently caress up a Xwing/Tie fighter game that bad? Is it just because nobody bought/uses it via steam and is playing on EA or whatever? I'd assume that even orig Tie Fighter could pul double digits, goddamn.

They just didnt have 1+ years of dlc support planned so the multiplayer died after the last update. Still, its the best modern Star Wars spaceship sim(not a lot of competition here, i know) and a lot of effort and care was put into it. The AI battles are still really fun and visceral, just sucks that the mp is dead

I enjoyed Squadrons a whole lot but it wasn't what I was hoping for in that kind of game. The actual gameplay was really good but everything around it was meh. Really needed that X-Wing/Tie Fighter thing of having structured missions with hidden secondary objectives and a sort of progression with medals and other rewards. Side stories too like in Tie Fighter and that dark force stuff. EA kind of shipped the game out to die but despite that I think the developers were on to something good. Felt like a test run for a proper X-Wing game.

I didn't like the "drift" mechanic, it was pretty awkward while being 100% crucial to good play. I also didn't like how important switching your shields, blasters, and engine power was. Too much micro for me. But again as a VR experience: superlative. Everything I thought video games would be in the future when I was 10.

As someone without a vr headset and got it for 8 bucks Squadrons was pretty ok but not good enough to finish Lot of hitbox issues though. I kept exploding at random doing flybys

Yeah squadrons was a fun little multiplayer game but the singleplayer really sucked, too short and too much rogue squadron dna in there. Comparing the missions to the old Tie and X-wing games was pretty sad

The graphics, UI, controls, and performance are all good and well, as is superficially the basics of a simple dungeon.

If a thing I dig is popular enough to get made that's good enough for me. My fav time for fighting games was the Dreamcast days, and nothing beats local play for me. SoulCalibur VI also rules. Some of my fav comics sell say 4000 copies a month, I'm proud to be in the 4000. Well maybe 5000 or 6000 with digital sales etc.

Some fighting games sell decently (mostly NRS games). Almost no fighting games have online playerbases, and there's certainly never been one that you could call significant. Making the netcode better hasn't/won't really change this, because no one actually wants to play fighting games. I could go on and on about why, but I don't think this thread is the place to piss off every fighting game player.

I feel like when a smaller game is in the range of just a few hundred players, though, the easy thing to miss is that those few hundred players probably play it a lot
