Same reason Pilllars of Eternity 2 sold so bad that Obsidian got bought by Microsoft despite it being a fantastic game, the world is cruel and unfair. :v:

Obsidian has been pretty poo poo at marketing themselves. I would hope they fair a little better with that under Microsoft. I didn't see anything about POE 2 until it was out.

rad games of 2018: hitman s2, spaderman, exapunks, into the breach, obra dinn, yoku island express, poe 2, guacamelee 2, monster hunter world, the messenger, donut county, bloodstained, lethal league blaze

cool games of 2018: super mega baseball 2, thronebreaker, soul calibur 6

games that conquered me: la mulana 2, mario tennis

lame disappointments: twewy w/motion-only allowed controls, madden's return to pc (but it's bad)

still on my list to play: valkyria chronicles 4, room 3, assassin's creed, the missing, tetris effect

I liked Mexico. That boat ride and the song might stick with me forever. It did have less memorable characters, and almost no likeable ones (but that's almost every Rockstar game). Controls were less of a convoluted mess, too.

I’m really bummed. Majora’s Mask is (or was) one of my favorite games. Now I don’t enjoy it as much and find it really tedious. I could start the Great Bay stuff now but I don’t want to do that awful pirate dungeon.


It's pretty bad. Luckily other companies learned playing against time limits and constantly resetting progress in a big adventure game is bad. Minit being the exception that proves the rule.

When will we get to the real roots of Zelda: Zelda 2?

I agree with most of that. Though I'd also add the writing in all the little collectables is genuinely pretty good and a lot more interesting than following the Chosen One solving everyone's problems.

And it's a very straight forward and easy platinum trophy.

Black Flag was good in that little space for a (relatively) small period of time.

AssCreed 3 came out and bombed, there were a handful of mediocre, okay-but-boring sidegames. And it was considered generally more fun and exciting than games after it since Unity was a laughably buggy mess and horribly optimized, and Syndicate was England but by then the whole series felt like pumping blood from stone with the never ending onslaught of releases and how monotonous and one-note they felt.

But AssCreed 4 absolutely does not hold up just in the sense of having almost no respect for players' time with unskippable long cut scenes and the much maligned tailing missions.

Serious question, what is a "great" in game reward?

Neon Pink armor. Unlockable suplexes. New Game+ options that drastically change the game/enemy dynamic. Final Fantasy OSTs. Spinning rims. Mustaches.

I'm strongly considering picking up Hitman 2016 after the conversation this morning. It looks like I can get the Defninitive Edition physical for pretty cheap, does anyone know for sure I'll be able to use my save from the digital free trial I played this summer? This is on PS4. All the different versions and episodic stuff is a bit confusing so I want to get the most complete version possible, but I don't wanna have to redo the tutorial stuff.


The game doesn't lock you into any level. Season 1/2016 MIGHT make you do the tutorial level. Season 2/2018 gives you an option to skip.

SO

As soon as you register Hitman Season 1 to your account, you can immediately download the prologue level for 2018/season 2 for free, and play the entire 2016 game in the new engine forever.

I know that you could play the 2016 levels in the new client but are there actual gameplay modifications because of it?


A few. It plays identically with some graphic enhancements, and adds some new if minor mechanics like functional mirrors that can spoil you sneaking up on someone in the bathroom and shrubbery+crowds stealth you like tall grass in HZD/AssCreed. And they reintroduced the briefcase in season 2 which you can use in every s1 level.

Like, not cheek but lips. And who made the first move. Who was it? Please let it be Zelda :)! (I'm Sorry! Link and Zelda NEED to be together. It makes me mad if Link doesn't go with her cause he's the one always saving her and crap and suddenly a girl comes out of nowhere and barely helps him and gets his heart. IT WOULDN'T MAKE SINCE!)
