In terms of new stuff:

Dead Island 2 didn't play, but I watched a streamer play about 6ish hours and it looks okay? More Dead Island. I had my fill with the original Dead Island and Dying Light. I have no real interest in this game, but it looks fine.

cmon man it's not a horror game, it's just a regular stat grinding shooter with zombies

my vote: No one lives under the Lighthouse

Dead Island 2 has interesting bits: the world assets

They spent all that time making a detalied Los Angeles and then bolted a stat/weapon grinder on top. The combat system is better than Cyberpunk, but they have the better story and characters, both made the same assets mistake (imo). And unlike Cyberpunk you can't save the game by making more Dead Island in a DLC, because "just more combat" is not gonna be interesting (compared to more good characters and story).

I think people also just want a high budget (? Is BG3 AAA budget? AA budget at least) fantasy WRPG since Dragon Age is dead,

BG3 is more Dragon Age than any other game, like you do some fights, get a cutscene and blood is all over your face, your main character is mute, all the party members are assholes (but you need them!!!) etc

Does Ubi chase GaaS trends? When I think of their games I just think of POI fatigue and also I guess they probably sell skins.

right now they have Riders Republic, The Crew 2, The Division 2, For Honor, Rainbow Six Siege, could be more

i love the story of Wildlands/Breakpoint's existences just because i find it incredible that Ubisoft, in all their genius, determined that the best way to do a sequel to a tactical stealth shooter was to turn it into a looter shooter

especially since Wildlands later had three non-looter crossovers: Rainbow 6 Siege, Splinter Cell, and the actual loving Predator

Shadowrun and Battletech were made by people who loved the games, and took the players seriously

Lamplighters had Marvel Quips and Pixar Faces instead, it never had a chance because it was made for money, not love

Oh right, yeah I forgot about the easy mode. I'm extremely bad at noticing environmental effects. Weirdly souls games are not an issue but anything 2d is a struggle.

I mean souls games are very very slow, yours and enemy animation always have tens, some times hundreds of frames between them (and the bosses that break those rules like Pontiff Sullivan are rightfully called out for being bullshit!)

I remember finding my first item in BG3 that had lightning charges, and going "uh this isn't d&d, what is this crap"

and then over the course of the game you basically find a "tree" of lightning items that can go so many ways, and there are so many other trees

Yea; I don't remember all the specifics of why I got mega bored with Valhalla, but I don't recall thinking the game was hard :thunk:

the game clearly has level gated areas, like in the very starter town in norway you cannot do one of the camps because it's like level 200+

like the guy said, it's coralling you into a narrow play pen, until you hit like 120 or so

Speaking of Terra Invicta, how is it these days? It seemed to be very... Boring at the start of EA.

every single patch makes the game harder, they over corrected so much that currently the best way to build your own spaceships is kinda limited


basically if you have been playing since EA launch it's very good, and everyone else will hit a brick wall, after 20 hours or so in a run
