God Eater 3 and Wargroove are the ones I'm looking forward to this month. cheetah7071 posted:fate extella sucked though Extella was just okay with a great soundtrack. Hopefully they have learned on the gameplay side since.

I used to play a lot Warcraft of 3 back in the day, though I was never super great at it. Now though the thought of playing an rts seems actively unfun, particularly ones that lean in hard on the 300 APM micro every unit while managing your base stuff. That's stress I don't need. Shooters I've never been good enough to do anything more than the campaigns in, which means the genre is dead to me until Titanfall 3. At this point I just play monster hunter, sometimes jrpgs, monster hunter, the occasional turn based strategy game, monster hunter, and I'm trying to play more fighting games but I'm terrible, can't pick a character or even game, and don't really have the amount of time needed to grind out muscle memory, let alone actual strategy.

It's not all that fun to play alone, possibly excluding the wing diver. Though playing as the wing diver may be better than Anthem. chumbler fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Feb 1, 2019 |

The 7th Guest posted:no one bought titanfall 2 so now the franchise is battle royaleing into the dumpster While true, the basics of Titanfall are solid enough that it could potentially be fun. More likely Respawn won't be living up to its name, though.

Thinking about a Titanfall BR and honestly I can kind of see it working, though it would need a lot of rebalancing from the normal game. Time to kill would probably need a slight increase and titans would probably need to die to anti-titan weapons a lot faster. They would also need to make some of the crappier weapons suck less. But the movement on well designed maps could be enough on its own, and periodic titan drops anyone could get in with a good opening would be natural points for action to happen. What it will probably be though is no titans at all on maps already in 2 with no changes except lazily distributed weapons, zero rebalancing, and they will leave in the smart pistol. The worst thing would be dying so fast that you spend more time loading than playing.

mutata posted:Just.. like... WHY a battle royale? For a studio with super strong design chops with a history of their releases getting overshadowed and suffocated by bigger titles in the same genre, why would they try to push into the genre with the biggest, most suffocating game in the industry right now? Because EA wanted them to make a BR for some reason and doesn't give a poo poo what they're actually good at. Also when it flops it makes it easier for them to close or sell off the company so quarterly profits go up. Also I keep wanting to call it Apex Zenith because it might as well be called that for how meaningless the title is.

Relax Or DIE posted:to be fair I think there is probably still lots of space to do cool stuff with battle royales, but they'd have to be made by someone not afraid to move more than a step away from PUBG/Fortnite Similarly I'd like to see more takes on monster hunter style games. Not that the real deal is bad by any means, world is still the high water mark, but I appreciate the things that the other notable entries in the genre have done to differentiate themselves. Like even just a different setting is notable. The real question is what is the next unscrupulous monetization scheme companies will try, assuming they are compelled to finally drop loot boxes. chumbler fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Feb 4, 2019 |

Jay Rust posted:I hope capitalism dies in my lifetime Unfortunately it will see to it that we all go down with it. Whatever the next big trend is, I'm fairly certain it still won't be single player games, because People Don't Want Single Player Games (despite all evidence to the contrary). That said, when the esports bubble bursts, maybe that will change.

GUI posted:Never forget there was going to be a gritty first person reboot trilogy of Megaman X where in the final game X would go insane with power due to all the abilities he had acquired and you'd play as Zero who had to kill him. Not interested in grittiness, but gonna be real a game where X played like Vanquish and Zero like Revengeance would be The Good poo poo.

From the sound of it 3 is more or less more of 2. God Eater has its merits, but it's not going to have anything approaching the polish of Monster Hunter.

There is an early access survival game called Volcanoids where the gimmick is you have a mobile base that is basically a drill train that you build up and have to avoid periodic volcanic eruptions, but apparently you don't actually drive the drill train so gently caress that.

cheetah7071 posted:Given a thing is good, it becomes even better if it can latch onto my memories of other good things so that it functions as like, 1.1 good things in total. That said, latching onto positive memories won't turn something bad into something good except in very very borderline scenarios (looking at you fate/extella, which I ditched the instant I finished Tamamo's story because I don't have any positive memories of Atilla) The Altera story is good and also has Gilgamesh and Iskander, and she is certainly more fun to play than Tamamo.

The new hearthstone dev team seems to be at least trying to pull the game out of the giant hole the previous dev team left it in, but the game may just be too fundamentally flawed to fix.exquisite tea posted:I might have to take a principled stand on an issue of actual importance at work tomorrow that might result in me getting fired.

PantsBandit posted:The respawn system is a great mechanic. In other battle royales, if team members die there's always the awkward "well...you can keep going if you want...but maybe we should just quit and start over?" Because nobody wants to just sit there while the rest of the round plays out but also nobody wants to be the rear end in a top hat that forces their friends to quit when they're still alive. From my very statistically significant sample size of 2 games, in the one in which I died immediately and my teammates did not they left my corpse to rot, so I would not count on pubbies being good at the whole squad thing.
