veni veni veni posted:I'm really enjoying Gears 5 but it's so weird. It feels like I am playing gears when I'm shooting at things, but literally everything else is like "We need to make a Sony game" which isn't bad, but it's sort of jarring cause I feel like I am playing God of War or Horizon but it's all GOW characters and monsters. The color palette is almost like, playful for lack of better word, which is funny when there's all these monsters running around barking "torment and pestilence!" I"m not sure it totally works but it's also pretty entertaining so whatevs. I was really disappointed in it because I loved Gears 4 so much. I abandoned it aaages ago when I got it in some promo then gave it another shot on game pass. The robots and new cast put me off first time but it ruled so much. It's like an awesome teen slasher action movie. Then 5 was just nothing.

I loved the gears 4 narrative. It would have been boring without the teen drama vibe.

Real hurthling! posted:Gears 4 had all these robot enemies that just made me wish i was playing the much much better binary domain That's why I bounced off it. I hated the intro. Once you get through that into the meat it's great. Having the super clean modern world where robots are the enemy and stuff is pretty chill is a good setup for the rest of the game and contextualised the new characters tho.

hatty posted:I’m not sure what the big deal is Sony moneyhats exclusives all the time. console makers buying exclusivity is just how this industry works. Like are people this upset that final fantasy VIIR or XVI will never release on Xbox? Yeah idgi. All the companies hoard what they can hoard. Team Xbox people complain about exclusive hoarding and cheer corporate acquisitions. Sony fans grind their teeth over MS cash buying up games and gloat over final fantasy exclusivity. Just chill out and buy both machines. Game pass is cheap to run on my PC and even cheaper since I play a major release then turn it off for a few months.

veni veni veni posted:The big guy at the end of the ice chapter of gears is legit one of the worst boss fights I have done in as long as I can remember. Wtf where they thinking making a boss that takes like 15 minutes to kill and then making every one of his attacks a 1 hit kill? I’ve died like 10 times on this because at some point there is always a bad camera angle or ice pillar that prevents me from rolling out of the way and I have to start the entire thing over. It's one of those fights where I feel like I could do a better job of winning using my own human body and abilities rather than a powerful video game character's.

veni veni veni posted:I still can't wrap my head around the Star Wars franchise in it's entirety being worth 4 billion dollars and a company like activision being bought for 70 billion. poo poo, even minecraft was bought for 2 billion, like 7 years ago. That's half of Star Wars and it's one game made by basically one guy in his basement. The money getting thrown around in the game industry is hard to comprehend. When you buy corporate minnows Activision and Blizzard, you also get the silent behemoth, King.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Yeah, it really is interesting to see how they go about it. Traditionally the answer would be that of course their big Activision games would not come out on PS anymore, but with Microsoft it's genuinely up in the air. Pretty sure it's as simple as old things remain on market, new things go to game pass.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:I got to the open world part of that game, went "ew" and never touched it again lmao I forced myself through it and there was nothing on the other side. 5 was a massive letdown playing it back to back with 4. I got to the end and was like yeah any enthusiasm for playing another one of these is dead and it was all down to making horrendous choices with flavour of the month "open world" bits and a story that straight up sucks. Felt like a huge missed opportunity because I considered 4 to be really strong once it warmed up.

Anno posted:Is CoD really waning as a series? I know Vanguard didn't do too hot but I thought Warzone (and mobile for that matter) were still huge. Warzone is steadily on the way down and Vanguard didn't do great but still a top selling game for the year. I think cod will always be popular but will probably keep sliding away without a surprise hit release that changes it up or just goes the extra mile.

Any PC game piss players have a go at this vampire themed Crusader Kings (if it's even like that) game? It sounds fun but idk if I want to dedicate ten hours to learning a spreadsheet/strategy game and then have it never do anything interesting. E: apparently it's on console too, also seems more like Might and Magic? JBP fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Jan 26, 2022 |

Detective No. 27 posted:Which is the better version of Republic Commando, the original Xbox version on Series or the remaster they did last year? The remaster is "better" graphically because it's pretty crisp and runs smooth, but it's the exact same game which feels pretty worn out compared to modern games. I still think it's fun tho and that it's worth playing the remastered version.

Twerk from Home posted:Microsoft are almost certainly planning to introduce a streaming only Xbox that's like $70 with a controller or some poo poo, that's clearly what the Xcloud beta is ramping up to. How many people in the world will actually be able to play and enjoy streaming games in let's say 2025? Most governments seem to stop developing residential infrastructure the moment Netflix works.

I love Destiny and played both games a lot. The writing in Destiny 2 is legit good along with the shooting and gameplay being fun. I burned out on 2 a while ago but I really enjoyed playing it with mates doing raids and stuff. Also it's a good game to get high and play because you're basically running around in beautiful 70s panel van art casting spells.
