By HonestVapes Go To PostI can respect Ubi’s output on the whole, but I’ll only play one open world game from them every few years.Same on the whole, but think I might be done with them entirely now.
Got bored halfway through FC3, all of it's sequels look like they're the exact same game with the colours adjusted. Thought I was ready for another timesink Assassins Creed game with Valhalla having skipped Odyssey, but it was pretty shite. Division 2 wasn't even as good as the first one, never mind being good enough to be excited for the future of the franchise. Got most of the way through Immortals but dropped that as well. If that gets a sequel, they'll obviously go bigger because it's just what they do, and it's exactly what I don't want.
Laboured not having it with slaent folks shitting on his next 'i'll fiddle with the settings a bit and be happy' game
By Yurtlicious Go To Postno that was another dark skinned character zaboClassic Allegrista comment.
I'm probably more likely to play Far Cry than Horizon, just purely because it got co-op which does lower how good a game really has to be, for it to still be a good time. But I'm legitimately confused as to how anyone could think they are even close to the same league visually.
Who really cares about either of these games though. Psychonauts 2 release date when

I don't even care about Psychonauts.
You're a good man, Wooden.
I'm not much for furry games or point and click adventures but last year's demo of this was sensational

That’s definitely a Smokey thing.
Horse plays through games, just on the easiest difficulty.
By HonestVapes Go To PostThat’s definitely a Smokey thing.I find it hard to believe that a cultured, well-mannered, English gentleman like cavalo would play far cry

thank you nephew. we're all good men here. except dean, he is a beast.
Games like Far Cry are acceptable mindless time wasters once every couple years or so. I agree with the boi wooden. I wrote a post essay on how Far Cry 5 was the worst piece of shit I've ever played, but still played it co-op with my bro and finished it. Then played New Dawn (not as bad as 5) and finished that as well.
I'm kind of impervious to mindless repetition, but that doesn't make the games good.

Coop for the sake of coop, with no systems designed to support it in any meaningful way, still makes for a better exprience, but not by much.

I know some people here had a really good time with 5 tho, Kibner I think, so hopefully 6 will be at least as entertaining.
I actually enjoyed Far Cry 5, but it was the first one I had played since 2. Haven’t revisited the series since.
2 was such wasted potential. Was still quite fun for a while, but some terrible design decisions in that game.
FC3 was good but it sent the franchise down a weird path where the devs started mistaking sociopathy for charisma.
By inky Go To PostThe Tropico games are more politically relevant than whatever ubisoft makes
they still make 'em? incredible.
played tropico 2 (well... the demo) on pc when i was a teenager.
lovely game.

I think if I played Far Cry 2 on a PC instead of a PS3 when it came out, I would’ve enjoyed it a lot more. Purely for the controls.
The respawning checkpoints were fucking stupid tho
Yeah the checkpoints ruined 2 for me. Ton of cool ideas but dealing with them constantly was just too annoying.

Yeah because consumers are stupid
Batman probably doesn't actually say "I need to find a way to blow up this large wall obstructing my progress" out loud to himself
"Should probably use this explosive gel I have on my utility belt"
"The gel should work if I spray it on the surface of that wall on my map"

I don't think consumers are as stupid as developers think and if they are, developers conditioned their stupidity.
Hey man if you don't make a profit it might have been because you didn't hold the player's hand. Now your massive game bombed and how do you feel

It's especially bad in those horizon demos and they always remove that dialogue in the release.
Speaking of FW, hope they give Aloy a personality this time.

Have you ever been to the discussions on steam?
Is the full game just 40 minutes long?
completed the demo in just under 40 minutes, if that's the full game (which i hope not).

By Yurtlicious Go To PostI hate it so muchTry playing FF XI and doing damn near anything without looking anything up. lmao

Yeah I have no issue with tutorials at all, especially not ones that are done well and show you the mechanics of the game. But I do agree that sometimes the hand holding goes overboard like in Skyward Sword where Fi won't shut up. Thankfully modern games seem to give you many options and chances to customize how a game's tutorial hands out information to you. The shit in Horizon demos is just annoying, and those old demos of games like The Division with the fakest, most unnatural team-speak.
I think it's difficult to strike a balance between introducing a player to a game and giving them the information properly and naturally. Honestly the best example I can think of teaching the player holistically is 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros. that gives you everything you need to know how the game plays without a single line of dialogue or stopping the action.

Portal 1 and 2 got great tutorials. 1 might even mostly be one big tutorial, but it works. Meanwhile we have Final Fantasy 13 still being a tutorial and holding your hand 40 hours in. But it's no match for Pokemon, the worst tutorials.
don't tell me anything
in fact, hide it from me.

I used to hate tutorials then I played Transistor
It took me a whole play through to learn its mechanics lol

DY can tell you playing simple public events in Destiny with the general public. Dumb as rocks.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostI had to google Materia when i started ff7. i won't make itThe game doesn't even teach you how to turn in quest items to NPCs. It makes a massive amount of interactable points completely invisible. Never tells you there are weapon types. What do abilities and effects actually do? Dunno, fuck around and find out! etc, etc, etc, unto it's 100+ systems.

You worked it retail ffs, you know exactly how stupid people can be.
My gf has played FF XI off and on over the last 15 years. Still has to look things up for just about any kind of quest or activity because there is just that little explained in the game. The designers even came out and said this was intentional as they wanted players to work together to figure out how to do shit in the game.
Even to the point where there is a boss that still no one really knows how to kill via the intended mechanics. Players just got powerful enough gear to overcome it. IIRC, people tried level-appropriate raids on this boss that lasted over 12 hours in a single combat and still didn't get it below like half-health before eventually wiping.

as good as portal 2 is, there were a lot of amazing ideas that got cut because valve play testers had the iq of 5
lets not forget how they cut off a whole part of half life 2 ep 2 because one playtester didnt realize it was a maze so he just kept going in circles
