Cyberpunk 2077 has the unusual situation of saving and loading shockingly fast within the game, but when you click play from the launcher it takes so long to initially launch that I thought something was actually wrong with my installation/machine the first few times

YIIK is a lot like the Duchamp toilet. Technically, it's a piece of art. Practically speaking, it's just a receptial for piss

Just came out on Game Pass, is AC Valhalla worth playing through? I enjoyed Origins and loved Odyssey and their one singular main character. Don't know much about it but I immediately assume the main lead isn't as likable at least.

The map is the usual Ubisoft marker-fest, but without any real desire to see Eivor's "story" continue, I gave up on it after the first major area.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:The main character is boring as poo poo and their sole motivation is "we should go invade England or something" for reasons I can't even recall. They have zero actual personality. Yeah and the biggest problem with the story not having a good motivation behind it, is that it is ultra loving long. Its Witcher 3 or Persona 5 length in time commitment. So you want a story that is going to motivate you to continue at that length.

Who finishes Ubisoft games. You play until you get bored. I’ve never had one last over fifty hours much less whatever hundred plus hours it takes to finish one. Still can be a fine enough ride for a while especially since you can always find a cheap way to play them

Kanfy posted:As someone who got really into Pathfinder Kingmaker to the point of clocking over 200 hours into it, there are definitely some games I find best enjoyed with high amounts of foreknowledge as well. So true. I'm enjoying the game, but so many of the basic mechanics are inscrutable, and the only in game mechanism to deal with it is an option toggle to disable them all rather than engage with them -- because the tutorial does gently caress all to explain how they work. Or how to access them. Or what will happen when you finally do interact with them. My learning curve has been 2 parts online research, 1 part accidental discovery every time I get a Journal update letting me know it is time to do some new city thing. Some basic tool tips might have been in order. Like -- Hey, if you choose this thing, then the calendar is going to auto-advance two weeks whether you had other crap you needed to get done first or not. Or things like, hey, if you need to know what day of the week it is in game, instead of putting that up in the header with the other useful information, you need to go to this sub-menu and then over the mouse over this SPECIFIC part of the screen.

Ubisoft makes the video game equivalent of frozen pizza and I usually buy one them once in a blue moon for 20 bux, play it until I hate myself and them never look at it again. I would recommend Watch Dogs 2 though. It's the last Ubisoft game that was actually pretty good.

All the others I play until I get bored of the gameplay. Got pretty close with Syndicate and Origins, but didn't quite make it over the finish line.

repiv posted:good news everyone they're making more yiik Based on what Andrew said in this Yiik (Fan)zine, the new update is gonna approach the original story from the perspective of how Yiik was received on release. Which is what I find most fascinating as the Allanson bros have gone out of their way to isolate themselves from the wider internet (by having, as far as I can tell, volunteers run any public-facing social media) besides a Yiik fan discord, so I can only imagine how they're getting any kind of accurate representation of what anyone thinks of their game beyond what their

quote:At the time I was very interested in novels by Haruki Murakami, this is hilarious because Yiik straight up plagiarizes Murakami  quote:We wanted to explore what happens when people believe they're the main character. And what happens to them when life refuses to comply with that fantasy. After all, almost every story since the 1980s exists to tell you that you're special and that you're the protagonist. You get the girl in the end. All of your efforts will be rewarded. And most important, meaning is something YOU get to create. You are the center of the universe. and this is really loving hilarious not just in the face of the Allansons' reaction to Yiik being panned, but because Alex Yiik literally is the center of the game's multiverse, the most important person to ever exist, and a lot of the female characters are multiverse copies of the girl he is meant to get

I played the absolute gently caress out of Black Flag, and it has been so long since then that I can probably play it again and not remember any of it, which is sounding like a great idea.

That said, I have no doubt that I'm in the minority. The Ubi game design formula is not a bad one, but it definitely can cause burnout if that's all you're playing.

Suicide Squad is going to be DOA. RIP to Rocksteady, yet another dev killed by chasing the GAAS golden ticket. They recently let some gaming journalism sites play it early, this is IGNs' experience: quote:Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Preview – We Played it and Didn't Like it https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-preview-we-played-it-and-didnt-like-it

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I can't loving stand damage numbers. If your combat system feels good and enemies react to the player doing damage in a satisfying way, then putting damage numbers just hides that and makes the experience worse, and if enemies don't react to your doing damage to them then damage numbers are just there in an attempt to hide that, then you can gently caress right off with that poo poo.

Also real talk, it is a real shame to see it go that way. I was hoping against hope that Suicide Squad would be good given Rocksteady made one of the greatest game trilogies of all time, but well I actually quite enjoyed Gotham Knights for what it was, but it is definitely a game that would have gone from flawed gem to pretty good if it didn't have the equipment grindmill and honestly I think that applies to 90% of the games featuring that type of progression.
