I got Just Cause 3 a half year ago and while I enjoyed it, it became a "half hour per day" game very quickly. Fun, but so repetitive that it is best in small doses. Territories and bases felt very copy-pasted. Still ended up clocking in 50 hours and getting every collectible.

There should be a Hitman game where it takes Agent 47 several minutes to put on a disguise and where he is constantly fidgeting with the clothes because they aren’t his size.

Happy Hedonist posted:If anything people will be more invested in their fortnite accounts 10 years from now, literally and figuratively. Back when I played it you’d always get shotgunned into the head by someone jumping around within half a minute of you landing*. So I’d say having bots in your first games is a good change, although it probably does indeed get rather old quickly. *Or you landed somewhere super remotely and didn’t see anyone for 15 minutes.

Crafty posted:I loved bioshock one and two, but I played infinite and just instantly hated it. I checked the reviews which were all really positive as I remember, I felt like I must have been suffering from under-sea nostalgia - because I really couldn’t get into that sky poo poo. One of the only times I’ve ever played a well reviewed game and found absolutely nothing of value in it at all. The PC versions had all sorts of bugs and inconsistencies at launch to the point where even years later people where telling me to just play the original version. I’m not sure the remastered versions really warranted existing anyway, beyond just being a re-release for next gen consoles.

Oh yeah, I imagine everyone is going to hate the final chapter (snow and ice) of Carto. It has a couple of times where you want to travel from one map piece to the other, but doing so requires more than just putting the pieces next to each other. And the less said about the sliding ice puzzle the better.

American McGay posted:Are there more than 2? I didn't pay much attention to it the whole game but there's very clearly a branching path choice near the very end of the game and I was able to do both. There are two end-game scenarios in Prey, but you can also decide to just leave the station via Alex's escape pod earlier on. Obviously, not much of an ending compared to the others. It also reveals/spoils something about the other endings if you are paying attention.

Soul Glo posted:Does anyone itt know how EA Play handles their new games? I see that some newer games like Star Wars Squadrons are on GamePass through EA Play, but I'm wondering if EA supports their platform like Xbox does with putting stuff up day one. I don't know if it applies to all platforms, but they also seem to do 10 hour trials for certain new games on EA Play. Star Wars Squadron had one when it launched, but I think as of this month you are getting full access (at least that is the case on EA Play via Steam).

American McGay posted:RE7 did not feel like a Resident Evil game. RE8 feels like RE7 but forced into being a Resident Evil game. I'm enjoying RE8 but at the same time it kinda feels paint by numbers at points. Hard to say which is the better experience but I'm kinda leaning towards RE7 right now. Having to survive in a village for a certain amount of time at the start of the game is very RE4. The basic enemies love juking your shots. You’ve got a (upgradeable) grid-based inventory and a merchant again. Some loot items can be combined with each other before you sell them. The credits even feature drawings depicting the downfall of the village in both games.

Achievements can be great if they encourage you to replay a game in different ways or point toward things in the game you probably wouldn't find otherwise. Some of my favorites are The One Free Bullet in Half-Life: 2 Episode 1 (only use one bullet during the entirety of the game) and I Have Minions For That in Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition (finish a playthrough with less than 100 kills, so go for a character build that's all about minions). Most games don't do extended challenges and just go for "collect every X" or "do this certain thing Y times" and so most achievements are not that great.

SUNKOS posted:We are long overdue Team Fortress 3 (same style please!) and it would be a perfect GaaS title. Surprised TF2 never made it to XB1/PS4 since they updated so much on PC compared to the console release and Overwatch came along and in many ways did the same thing and went on to become a huge success. Seems like such a missed opportunity by Valve but I'm glad that they're making games again. TF2 on PC got so much updates because they didn’t have to bother with certification. They could have farted out an update every day if they wanted to. I imagine hardware limitations were also an issue with console patches. Even when you ignore they were doing dumb poo poo like adding a rifle that had more polygons than a character model (and I believe it didn’t come with lower poly models for rendering at a distance either).

webmeister posted:iirc the world record 100% speedrun for San Andreas is like 12 hours or something, so I hope you're quick! That's on PC though, so I dunno how many mods are involved drat, I think it spend almost that much time on the stadium races alone during my 100% run. There was one in particular (the 8-track) I just sucked at and had to retry over and over again. I also 100%ed Vice City... on the iPad. Somehow the helicopter mini-games and the ambulance activity were pretty doable. Stealing the attack chopper from the army base was way more challenging, because controlling the minigun with a touchscreen was awful. So yeah, guess I don't really feel the need to play this trilogy ever again lol

In Konami’s case they’ve learned that focusing on pachislot machines is not going to work out AND that game development is hard, looking at everything I hear about eFootball. I think at this point they are definitely interested in keeping things for sale (and being ready to re-releasing them in future).
