satanic splash-back posted:Battle Royals are a cool idea and cool to play until you realize that you spend more than half the time "playing" collecting stuff or moving to places, not doing anything interesting. that's why people play battle royales. that's the secret it's an excuse to hang out on a call and bullshit with friends while wandering around waiting to see if something happens. now if you just play BRs with randos then you're a psychopath. sorry but them's the rules.

I prefer playing Battlefield and rushing into dangerous situations with the hope that I can kill people before they kill me, and then respawning quickly and doing it again BF 2042 was a miserable piece of poo poo disappointment to me. And I'm a guy who loved Battlefield 5 still. How does BF1 still have some of the best graphics of any game, and its like 4 years old?

Id die 90% of the time but its worth it.

Not really an opinion, but I don't know what Fortnite looks like. I know I must've seen it somewhere at some time, but I know so little about it that I can't close my eyes and imagine what a screenshot of it would look like.

I can't imagine a reason not to if you have a Switch. I'm under the impression the sequel is a while off, and I seem to recall BotW is supposed to be something of a reflection of the work of the younger talent at Nintendo. Alternatively play Breath of Fire II. The best jrpg on the SNES/Switch.

Soul Hackers 2 has an option to turn off loading screen tool tips and it cuts loading by at least 50% to turn it off because the tool tips have to be up for a minimum length of time but when they're off it just puts you into the next area as soon as its ready. What sick gently caress thinks that should be on by default and not indicate thats how it works?

If you have, then no, because they're all straight up reskinned reverse engineers with microscopic improvements that make botw feel just a little crappy.

But it's the prettiest one with the best characters and great music and a good story! Also I was like 10 the first time I played it so I had all the time in the world to grind!

Duck and Cover posted:If only there was some sort of game with shooting one another where when you died you just respawned in like 15 seconds. Oh well maybe somebody will invent that. The secret is the random gear deemphasizes skill. You're talking about Fiesta in Halo Infinite. It's pretty fun. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Partially depends on which weapons you randomly spawn with. The new Saints Row is fun. I'm not a humorless old man that loves MOBAs and hates story though, so YMMV.

Redezga posted:Teammates declaring gg when losing in ranked Rocket League is probably the only instance where it grinds my gears a bit. Mostly because matches are only 5 minutes long assuming there's no comeback, and more often than not its an open declaration they've given up trying 90 seconds into a game almost always determined by trust and teamwork more than anything. Good team morale goes a long way in that game. This used to really gently caress me off. Matches can turn around quite easily and people can get really impatient trying to forfeit. It eventually made me realise some people have very different attitudes to me in that game. On the plus side, unranked mode allowing rematches was so much fun once you got a good team or adversary, and I've found myself wishing other games had more rematch modes

Granted, never played Sunset Overdrive, but it suffers from the MS hype/ignore/abandon cycle they get into with Win/XB exclusives. Sony and Nintendo at least seem to have better luck pushing an IP into popularity where it can ride its own momentum for a few years and a few sequels or they're just making games that do that better on its own.

Genshin is the big one, and I think I've seen a couple other clones but I can't think of them off the top of my head sorry. I wouldn't say they're plentiful, or any good at all on their own merits; their only quality is that they ripped off an existing game that's already good.

When somebody says GG it's over we lose they are almost always right because they will do nothing or actively sabotage the game. gently caress vote concedes, either the game isn't actually over, or the game is almost over. While yes sometimes you'll get people who refuse to finish a clearly won game I don't feel it happens often enough for me to ever want vote concede in a game.

Elentor posted:Sure but looting aimlessly also increases the odd you'll die to an ambush, which incidentally is the best way to play these games in the mid-game. You loot, you then ambush defenders when they're at their weak spot and then you keep moving. I'd be interested in those.

There's a deep-seated resistance to Xbox, for whatever reason, that makes this a self-fulfilling prophecy and prevents them from gaining traction. I mean, Sunset Overdrive was right there and people refused so hard that Sony bought the dev.

I feel like it's so close to being a great game, there's just something off about it and it's bothering me.

You know what I miss? Custom Games or even just lobby’s with randos. These days so few games give you a way to play anything that isn’t matchmade narrowly defined by devs gametype and map, is to have at least a dozen acquaintances who all play at the same time of day, own the same game, and play said game on the same console/PC. Remember when you could just join something on a server/game list and find something novel? And I’m not even talking about crazy stuff that turned things into full on new games like the original Counterstrike and Team Fortress, just stuff like turning on max vehicle spawns or changing starting weapons and the like. And instead of either going to a completely new group from scratch every match or the exact same people every night forever.
