By Smokey Go To Postwhy?It's not just Halo, I'm surprised that there's a competitive scene for any console game. There's no money in it. MS puts in millions of dollars for Gears and Halo and they get hosted in tents with maybe 10k viewers if they're lucky. Tier 3 CSGO matches get more viewership than those games. The NBA 2K finals that happened two years ago got hosted in like some abandoned high school gym and had 5000 viewers, who the fuck even knows when the Madden championship happens.
halo 5 mp was pretty much built with competitive scene in mind.
Gears 4 MP is basically crap because it's eSports. And I don't mind eSports, but maybe build games from the ground up to be that, instead of shitting on established franchises.
Man, I'd love for anyone but Ubisoft to take on that setting. Would be amazing with some degree of nuance and subtlety, they won't be able to help themselves from having you blow up everything that stands in your way though.
By Hitch Go To PostYeah, loved the first time through every area. The objective structure was doing my head in by the end though. Like, you'd leave a character in Life Support or somewhere and they'd tell you to go the the Arboretum. 2 long, long loading screens (on console). That same character sends you a message asking you to go back to Life Support to basically pick up the details for a new mission. It became a bit like a Ubisoft game where going from A to B felt like a waste of time in the name of just knocking something off of a checklist.
Solid 7.5
Arkane get away lightly with a few things I think. Faces look dreadful. The way NPC's move around and interact with eachother when unscripted is Half Life 1 standard. Cues for strings of dialogue all over the place, cutting into eachother, playing over eachother, stopping randomly, the wrong transcribe playing when you pick one up.
Valid criticism. The overlapping dialogue happened to me when I rolled back the tape for my supposed ex. The tape played as the African doctor dude didn't give a damn and kept chatting through the whole thing.
ImersiveFPSitis...that's a good one.
By jjasper Go To PostCan't wait for this to be blasted all over fox news.
I've been talking to a bunch of Christian game reviewers and I have yet to find one who isn't disgusted by it.
Like others have said though, it might be interesting if it were not Ubisoft.

Nintendo are back to that "it prints money" mode.
Slaent told me they need to go third party or sell themselves to Microsoft though. I don't see how this could possibly be true.
Personally reckon the Switch will be a decent success but nothing groundbreaking, and we'll go through the same arguments time and time again as their stock goes up or down with every piece of news.
It will do great, not exceptional. Somewhere between 50 and 70M when it's all done, probably ahead of the X1.

I'll probably get a Switch of the next Nintendo console when my child is old enough to play. 3-4 more years seems about right before I jump into that market.

Looks buggy as fuck. But also hilarious

Ubi so smart releasing one in game trailer and then five interview trailers that looks nothing like their game. Blurring them lines just enough to confuse the masses. Brilliant strategy yet again.
I don't like the idea of a create your own protagonist though. Sounds like another mute lead which is so lazy and played out. Hopefully that's not the case and they've got something better planned.

By data Go To PostCan't complain about character creation when so many AAA games have forsaken it in recent yearsIt has a place, just typically not when you have a story to tell.
I prioritize story and characters in games almost as much how well they play. Mutes or create a character narratives almost always lack focus or depth that make either aspect interesting to me. Platinum with all their colorful combos are great and all, but none of that holds my attention past the length of a demo.
By GQman2121 Go To PostIt has a place, just typically not when you have a story to tell.WD2 had an interesting set of characters but ultimately Ubisoft and especially Far Cry are never going to be that game. Jason Brody could have been a create a character, the lead in 4 could have too outside of his bloodline in the story. Those games are all about their villains when it comes to storyline.

Unless they radically changed the way the games were presented, character creation in FC3 would have been pointless. The actual protagonist they designed was a boring blank slate of a non-entity who you actually saw about twice across the course of the game, same would surely have been true with your own character. Did he even speak often?
By data Go To PostI guess that Friday the 13th thing is supposed to be goodI'm glad that game seems like it's going to do well. They got Harry Manfredini to do the score, Kane Hodder did the mocap, Tom Savini was involved, almost every movie skin for Jason except the one from X, most of the iconic kills are in the game.
Having said that, sometimes a protagonist is so ugly that I wish there was a character creator. The Surge, for instance. Guy looks like a cross between Michael Shannon and latter-day Rickety Cricket.

I'm sorry your life turned out like this hitch, I can't imagine being this wrong all the time.

So they just took the movie version and stuffed her into the game? Perhaps the films only achievement.
RIME seems like the kind of game that'll get high games media reviews regardless of its quality
them kind of games always seem to get passes. i'm trying to think of a 'minimalist puzzley adventure game' that hasnt reviewed well

By data Go To PostRIME seems like the kind of game that'll get high games media reviews regardless of its qualityFrom what I gathered, it's a game that shines if it hits you emotional. The puzzle part seems extremely weak and not at all challenging.

Reviewers who didn't really get the emotional part of the story have all scored it at just average.

It was mine until Witcher 3. Plot holes, Ethan's weaksauceness, dumb sex scene and all.
