Zaphod42 posted:This is totally wrong and only makes sense if you don't understand how dominion works. I guess it's more that I don't understand what mobas are. Closest thing to playing one was about 30 minutes of Battleborn. All I know is I just kill dudes and don't let them keep points and we win.

^same, played it for virtually five hours straight despite some serious hand pain.Jack-Off Lantern posted:Its also a weird niche genre and doesn't appeal to a big player base. Its also made by ubisoft, uses uplay, and the matchmaking doesn't work good. What genre is it? The closest thing are Street Fighter type fighting games but they're still very different. It's nothing like Dynasty Warriors. I'm thrilled to try a new type of game and it should be encouraged. This used to be the norm. It's sad that a whole generation of gamers has experienced nothing but safe sequels and recoils at the sight of something new.

The Gamestops in the US are quite a bit worse than EB games from my experience (been to them in Bellingham, Seattle, LA, SF, Vegas etc). But EB still tried to pull that circle of life bs on me last time I was in. Just gotta be firm.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Nobody is going to remember For Honour by this time next year. I wonder if Ubisoft will still be around 🤔 This is getting ridiculous. The game's a huge success, 45,000 concurrent players on Steam today (no PS4 stats of course). Like I get that people who suck at playing against real people would rather play soulsbourne/nioh but give it some credit. It's a good, deep game and the FH thread gets more posts per hour than this one. Also the DLC policy is really good. You get everything for free if you just play. Stop with the Ubi hate boner already.

Obsurveyor posted:He hasn't been praising the game much in the thread, he's been reacting to people crapping on the game/Ubisoft. He said he wanted a safe space to talk about the game and I told him that there was one. I dont want a safe space, just want to actually talk about the game instead of dlc policies and Ubisoft as a whole. The FH thread is more for in-depth discussion of strategy etc, but it looks like you have successfully censored any discussion so I'll just go back there. Congrats, brave thread defender.

Inspector Hound posted:That's awesome though, if you can love a game while being awful at it, that means the game may contain the theoretical "fun" particle Oh yeah, definitely a good thing. Although it's not normally the type of game that people will like if they aren't very good at one on one battles. Like you can't help out significantly in other ways like you can in say battlefield 1.

Samurai Sanders posted:Listening to Gamestop's review of Horizon, is Alloy's name really pronounced with a long A? Aloy, not alloy. Alloy is when you combine two kinds of metal, and is pronounced the way you're pronouncing it. Aloy is some dumb future name that can be pronounced however Guerilla wants to pronounce it. I've always assumed this would be a metaphor or something. Or maybe not.

Feenix posted:UnfortunateSexFart (And anyone else who was hot on For Honor...) I am more impressed the more I play, honestly. They built enough progression stuff to make it last a long time - you don't even get the really cool weapons/gear until you play for about 50 hours it seems. No goon has done it yet as far as I know. Combat has tons of depth. My one big issue is that when lots of people rage quit it can crash the whole game, but other than that it's become the only multiplayer game I play lately. It will suck if you're not good at online multiplayer games though. You have to be better than average or you're gonna have a bad time. Here's me taking on three players by myself and winning  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgwZG8SdMHY To those not familiar with the game, that's me stopping an execution (so I could revive my teammate) then blocking three attackers until my revenge meter (boosted by blocking attacks) caused a knockdown on anyone attacking me when that yellow pulse went out (two of three). Then the third guy tried to hit me with an insta-kill flaming arrow attack, which I narrowly dodged, and caused him to try to run away - but I was faster and separated his head from his body. It's too bad some people in this thread want it to fail so badly because it really is fun and challenging and I believe will be around and popular for a long time. Just look at how many posts are in the For Honor thread.

Fun and entertaining, even. I didn't like it after the two betas I played either. And yeah p2p crashes/pauses are terrible.

exquisite tea posted:Well I think goon perspectives on video games are a bit skewed. Horizon is about as mainstream as you can get and it will probably sell a million bazillion copies, way more than Nier and Nioh at least. Yes, goons have niche taste. These were the top sellers in January: Resident Evil 7 (PS4, Xbox One) Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (PC, PS4, Xbox One) Grand Theft Auto 5 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) NBA 2K17 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (PS4) Madden NFL 17 (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) Watch Dogs 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) Overwatch (PC, PS4, Xbox One) FIFA 17 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) I bought and enjoyed all of those except Kingdom Hearts and RE:7 (don't like horror... or RE).

bloodychill posted:I think the statement that DA:I had a "bad reception" is not particularly accurate since it was viewed as a decent step up from DA2 and reviewed and sold well. It wasn't my thing as I sputtered out around 25 hours because of the Ubisoft-style collectathon it had going but I know a few people who loved it to death. The biggest mark against it is that the Witcher 3 came out afterward and kind of trashed it on the story-telling front. Yeah I enjoyed and finished DA:I, then played Witcher 3, and can never imagine playing a game like DA:I again. I suspect the Witcher Effect is one of the reasons why Mass Effect has been delayed so long.
