ff16 looks, aesthetically, like it's doing it's best to remind people of game of thrones why. why would you do this

Mr Hootington posted:I hope Starfield has Skyrim leveling where you have no cap and can unlock all skills if you use them. It was always fun to do that in the ES games and was the one thing that bugged me in the fallouts. yes and if you level too far the Ebonite Starwarrior challenges you to an honorable star-duel

ScootsMcSkirt posted:i will admit that using the jumpjets to fly above the enemies and shoot them with a heavy grenade launcher looks very fun and will be what I build my spaceman to do I have absolutely 0 faith in Bethesda getting even decent shooting mechanics in their game. it will feel like poo poo, it will sound like poo poo, but I will still eat that poo poo.

spending 70 bucks to hate play a game you can play for like 5 bucks for a month on xbox means you probably are looking forward to and enjoying that game

I have such a massive backlog that I can forever wait until something goes on super sale even if I'm interested in it. there's very few things that I'm just gonna get day 1 sight unseen anymore, it's not economical

docbeard posted:As long as they don't ruin it with game-as-a-service bullshit Starfield will probably be fine (though I'm pretty sure the game plan is to let modders make it into a playable game, as per usual with Bethesda games). So I'm looking forward to seeing how they ruin it with game-as-a-service bullshit. My bet is that they are going to use Fallout 76 expansions as the model. Release a devastatingly bare game with terrible garbage gameplay and story and then slowly release packs to buy with more terrible story and gameplay.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:And you will thank Todd Howard for his innovation Todd: we know our fans are bumbling morons who have the critical decision skills of a rock which explains why you love our games so much. so to really help you immerse yourself in the world of Starfield we have made your character as incompetent with weapons as possible. just like if you were fighting for your life on a deserted, airless world—every shot will miss, you will fail to reload and break your weapon, and we’ve even partnered with nVidia to use samples of your own voice combined with AI technology to generate screams that sound just like you. *crowd erupts into ecstatic rioting*

Augus posted:nah a lot of the criticisms i saw were people just completely failing to understand basic storytelling. Like, these people are operating at a fourth grade reading level i think that i have seen this with the music in particular actually. lots of confusion about the song choice in the fight where the player unlocks devil trigger or why cid's theme plays when cid is on screen

Augus posted:the Gita Jackson review spent multiple paragraphs complaining about a character arc that doesn’t actually exist anywhere in the game I can't remember if it's her review or the Kotaku review but one of them referred to the Iron Bloods as bring Middle Eastern coded. They're very obviously vikings, you just meet them in a foreign desert.

snoremac posted:Don't know if it's my age or the diminishing quality of major titles but I rarely get the urge to buy anything day one anymore, From excepted. I'm surprised I still haven't got God of War Raganrok or RE4 remake, two games I definitely want to play but not so eagerly I can't wait until they're a nice bargain. I find buying a day 1 game is the best way to actually make sure you play the fuckin game instead of sitting in a library untouched for 5 years. it is also a lot of fun to strike the iron while the zeitgeist is hot. I don’t do it often but there’s usually a good lookin indie-mid level game or Japanese game every other month. however I do have limitations: I don’t buy western AAA games because they suck; either game pass for free* or piracy for free. I also generally check out and make sure it ticks the boxes I like in a game and I know what genres I like

The video game criticism world very badly needs a Walter Chaw or a SuperMechagodzilla. Like, okay, maybe the antagonists are coded as Middle Eastern. Are you just gonna stop there, or are you gonna explain why that's a good/bad thing in this context? edit: from a socialist perspective and not a feckless liberal one, of course olives black has issued a correction as of 16:43 on Jun 26, 2023 |

Mr Hootington posted:My man the diablo 4 train wreck was pretty clear after the beta. nah, I enjoyed the beta, the cinematics were cool and the combat felt chunky enough for the first 20 levels or whatever it was my problems with the game appeared after that, where the complexity of the combat never really got any more interesting, the scaling gave the difficulty some weird troughs and spikes, and it had me running halfway across the continent without a mount gave me that bad mmo flavor that was totally absent from the beta

I’ve been playing chivalry for awhile and have like 650 hours and it makes me wish the medieval multiplayer melee space wasn’t so empty, every patch introduces novel new bugs to the extent that I think torn banner deserves some recognition for innovation in dysfunction

why are people excited for starfield it just sounds like it's going to be fallout 4 in space and the only redeeming part of fallout 4 is the copium high you feel when you're installing 500 mods and hoping that the game will somehow not be bad this time

Like ok cool I understand some people love being able to put boobs on every npc or reskin guns to shoot turds or put in some anime bullshit, but it isn't for me.
