Currently on a big adventure with my friends Sora. Donald. And Goofy. I've actually gotten to the point of cautious optimism on Anthem. I doubt I'll be playing it a month after release but games like that are a once a year or less occurrence these days. The 7th Guest posted:like i said in the previous thread, the final Etrian Odyssey comes out next week Dang, I had no idea a new one was coming out. I liked 5 but I hope this one isn't quite so basic. 3 is still the best.

homeless snail posted:I'm sure the br will be very popular, one month after EA releases the other br It is crazy that EA surprise released a f2p scifi shooter like 2 weeks before their big scifi shooter. I know Super Apex Legends and Anthem aren't exactly clones, but still.

Harrow posted:Possibly, though it would probably have loot boxes and pay-for-power MTX if it was. As it is, Anthem is not free to play, but (for now) has no loot boxes and only plans to sell skins, emotes, and stuff like that. They also plan on all the content/story updates being free instead of being paid DLC, so... yeah, good luck with that. My guess is that Apex Legends has been ready to go for awhile but they were holding it back to not crowd the demo/release period for Anthem. Then they took the auspices re: Anthem and thought why bother. I wanted Anthem to be good but it isn't and I wouldn't be surprised if it never gets there. You know things are bad when the community starts pinning its hopes on a "dev build" or day 1 patch.

Harrow posted:Eh, I mean, there are definitely visible improvements in the launch build that weren't in the demo fork (like a social hub, a squad UI, etc., things we've actually seen in preview videos), but there are also a lot of things that we're just being reassured will be better with no real evidence. I'm just speaking from experience. Other games I've played where the community starts talking up a day 1 patch after an underwhelming public beta include FFXIV (the original version), Hellgate: London, Elemental: War of Magic, Wildstar, and other games with similar fates. It never works out. I think Anthem could be good after several more months of development but it feels like EA has already written it off. DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:Waffles are bad. Bad waffles are better than bad pancakes and the vast majority of pancakes and waffles are pretty bad. Good pancakes tho...

Internet Kraken posted:I dunno, I can't really be optimistic with anything about that game's writing. I'm bummed that it takes place in anime combat high school, the most common and also worst anime stock setting.

I thought it was pretty straightforward. The game's central conceit is that you're in the Fire Emblem equivalent of a high school, and there is fighting. This is an extremely common anime trope. Game is gonna be the Valkyria Chronicles 2 of the series.

Internet Kraken posted:Oh my god the ending to Anthem is the most anticlimactic thing ever Just watching various stream of it gives me the impression that it's the Starbound to Destiny's Terraria (not that Destiny is as good as Terarria). Disappointing.

Harrow posted:One thing that stands out to me is just how improved the release version is over the demo. They really weren't bullshitting when they said they improved performance and massively improved the mouse/keyboard controls. It's just a shame that like the whole basic structure of the game does everything it can to stand in the way of fun. IIRC the Division had some serious problems at launch too. My favorite anecdote was that there was some NPC you had to talk to during the tutorial, but he could only converse with one player at once. So people lined up by the dozen in game to talk to this guy just to get past the tutorial. Of course the difference between Anthem and Destiny/The Division is that it's EA so a bad launch means it's probably just doomed. (although for all I know it's selling really well)

Harrow posted:Anthem's kind of an odd situation for EA, I guess, which is why I'm not quite ready to assume BioWare's about to be sent to a farm upstate. It's not a single-player game, nor is it a live service game that's already planned to have another sequel in a couple years, or anything like that. It was always going to be a long-term investment for them. I hope Bioware still has a Dragon Age: Andromeda in them at least. I know people on this forums will say literally any video game is double cancer hitler but I liked Inquisition and I think it was pretty popular. My main gripe with that game was the "everyone is covered in vaseline" art style.

DLC Inc posted:it's impressive that every non-sports EA title has been just dismantled or hosed with. Remember back when EA bought Bioware and it felt like EA was rebranding all of their non-sports/shooter stuff as Bioware and it seemed like EA was going to be the Bioware company from now on? What happened to that? I said come in! posted:Yeah I think Warframe would be that game, but I really don't like Warframe and don't understand the hype around it. I don't like the design of the characters or the world. It's just an appealing looking/cool universe in my opinion, but that is entirely subjective and personal preference. My problem with Warframe is that half the mission types are just flying through the level as quickly as possible and ignoring everything, which is boring and monotonous and strains my pinky. Of course I haven't played since before they added that big "open world" area. Also once I got a beefed up Hek and Saryn Prime I could stroll through just about any of the content with zero difficulty. I know I could intentionally handicap myself to add some challenge back to the game, but that just doesn't appeal in a game where getting strong is like 90% of the fun. PantsBandit posted:It is. Terraia has a great curve, from 1 hour in to 100 hours in you feel like you're getting stronger, learning to manage an inhospitable world, but there's always another zone out there that can make you feel frail again. I think the two biggest things that killed Starbound for me are: 1)The curve feels flat. In Terarria you can go from having a bow that shoots an arrow to a bow that shoots 5 arrows that home in on enemies and call down shooting stars wherever they hit. In Starbound you go from having a gun that deals 10 damage to an enemy with 100 hp to a gun that deals 50 damage against an enemy with 500 hp. 2) The gameplay just feels clumsy and bad. Playing Starbound vs. Terarria feels like playing some long forgotten SNES mascot platformer by a no name developer vs. playing Super Mario World.

Dr. VooDoo posted:The THQ Nordic blunder is still burning and it’s a glorious fire storm. It’s gotten so big the general manager of Microsoft Studios Publishing has publically asked why they still have a link for 8Chan up. I honestly can’t remember a company utterly destroying it’s public image in such a short period of time. Like any future article about them is going to mention when they teamed up with the website blacklisted from google for hosting child porn, Nazis, and ISIS recruiters I think there's probably like a 90% chance that guy is an 8chan regular so that poo poo was normalized enough for him to the point where he couldn't even anticipate people objecting to it. Kinda sucks to have another publisher to cross off my list forever, I was gonna pick up Darksiders 3 when it came down a bit. Guess we shouldn't be surprised from a company named Nordic though.
