People are upset they arent getting the same type of game the IP is known for. Unfortunately the IP is being used to push a different type of product. I do think people are justified to be upset about that.
As a gamer who wants more to play and wants to pay less, i am ok with this particular IP(which i dont particularly care about) becoming ftp, even if it degrades the overall experience. If this was happening to another IP i enjoy, I might be more upset about this.
Hot take: If its a free to play online multiplayer game, its not very upsetting.
Yeah, fans want another skate in the vein of the trilogy and it sucks we wont get that... But if i dont have to buy this game then idc if it will hit a premature death when it stops being supported. Yeah its a waste of development resources and i wish online-only games didnt exist for the sake of preservation, but i wont be upset if i get to play this game and dont have to pay a dime.
Im not entirely sure itll be ftp though, so this take can be completely void.
Looks like a lower budget Scorn ripoff
We will see what the aaaactual gameplay looks like. If the hit detection and subsequent damage effects are at least at Doom's level, it could be a good game. This video might as well be a mock up.
The article ignores the elephant(s) in the room... Negligible performance improvements year over year, and unavailability of cards at MSRP.
This means the opposite of what the article headline is suggesting. Mainstream PC gaming (on mid tier and/or new hardware) is more out of reach for people than it has been for decades...
Good thing the used market exists and new entry level last gen cards can sometimes be found at msrp. Still alot of people dont want to settle for a sub par experience at PC costs, and console gaming always meets the mark for price to performance.
Yeah i guess it doesnt hurt
The one thing android users want apple to keep to themselves....
Agreed, such a unique energy. I really think Fuel is slept on, or at least this album has been. I consider it one of the greats of the era.
Classic, brings back good memories
Yeahhh.... If it has Denuvo like Frontiers i wouldnt consider that verified.
Not being playable/launchable offline contradicts the purpose of a mobile console.
Steam/valve really needs to consider the implications of the preservation-destroying DRM they allow in their games.
Games I have purchased on steam are no longer playable because of their online DRM that was abandoned.
I wont pay for a game with this form of DRM ever again.
The only thing "convoluted" about this whole announcement was pricing. The price of the console The price of the games The price of their online services and upgrades...
All of that is gut-wrenching as Nintendo claws at its dedicated fans wallets.
Otherwise the features and games look amazing, i understand why people are willing to pay those prices.
Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.
Great analysis.
The sentiment around bethesda games among the uninterested rpg fans is "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle", which is exactly what you summed up here.
All the systems they've introduced over the passed few games have been interesting, but shallow. Whats worse off is that the meat and potatoes of the games (story and rpg elements seem to be in atrophy as well. I dont believe fallout 4 had a bad story, but the games after it(fallout 76 and starfield) have definitely felt lacking in these departments as well.
The oblivion remaster is very beautiful with some much needed combat tweaks, now i just wish they would do the same for morrowind.
I dont have alot of faith that the next fallout or elder scrolls will deliver on the shortcomings of starfield, so i would gladly enjoy more bethesda remasters while another company takes up the 1st person rpg mantle. Who will that be? So far not Obsidian, unless they stop delivering shallow games as well.
