What the hell is Reverse 1999? :)

goken21h ago

Apparently it’s some Gacha thingy…

Why is it listed as today's hottest, nobody cares about it here...

Ubisoft buying their way to the top. They always have the shittiest advertisement ideas, like flooding videos and comment sections with obvious bots.

Garethvk12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

I think it is more of a global appeal versus a U.S. market.

Garethvk12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Obviously they do or there would not be the hits on it. Even Google picked it up for their news feed.

Reverse: 1999 Review | NoobFeed

NoobFeed editor Faviyan writes - With turn-based gameplay, complex narrative, and breathtaking visuals in Reverse: 1999, you'll find yourself in a new dimension to gacha RPGs. The story-driven experience, when paired with unique characters and deep sound design, sets it apart in a really crowded marketplace.

I wish western dev companies were as talented.

jznrpg1d 15h ago

Western devs are just as talented. It’s who’s above them that aren’t supporting them with funds for riskier games.
Also this is a gacha game, not the best example of what you want it your games. If it didn’t have the gacha element that would be a different story. Management loves gacha games because of their recurrent revenue

The Open-World Genre In Gaming Has A Quantity Over Quality Problem

More developers need to focus on what makes open-world games like Elden Ring and RDR2 pop, instead of focusing on needless map expansions.

KyRo247d ago

Open world games need a overhaul in general.

Go here - kill this target
Go here - fetch this
Clear this camp
Add dozens of filler side quests
Tack on a RPG skill tree
Finish up with a couple of hundred collectables

98 percent of open world games follow this game design and it's boring now after nearly a decade of following this same design.

anast247d ago

Maybe they know what it takes to make an engaging open-world, but they won't. For most publishers, managers probably get bonuses for finding ways to cut corners.

IAMRealHooman247d ago

yes. Every ubisoft like is overly large map. just to say it's huge with nothing in it.
Love'em or hate'em a yakuza game is a significantly smaller map, with a lot of side activities and absurd quest lines.trying the different restaurants in game can be enjoyable as they offer different buffs, do that or make traversal so good you wouldn't dare fast travel ie Spiderman

YourMommySpoils247d ago (Edited 247d ago )

Stellar Blade says hello.

The only quality game to come out this year.

exputers247d ago

While true, that one's not a full open-world. Pretty much like God of War Ragnarok.

YourMommySpoils247d ago

Not sure how everyone judges this. If that's the case, that would mean even The Witcher 3 isn't open world and just semi maps slowly unlocked.

jznrpg1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

Was with you until the only quality game part. Plenty of great games this year. It also came out last year

jznrpg1d 15h ago

Some are great some are not. That’s the same for any genre. There are tons of Metroidvania’s, some are great some are not, souls games etc etc

Technically, we wanted more money.

bradfh527d ago

Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.

Kaii527d ago

Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.

TheColbertinator527d ago

At this point the entire EU commission must be bribed

Christopher527d ago

The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.

Yi-Long527d ago (Edited 527d ago )

"Start screen, cool."

Uhm, no. Start screen very much NOT cool either. There really need to be new laws implemented banning these companies from shoving ads down out throats at every opportunity they see fit.

Crows90526d ago

For free to play which is a market of games needing monetization through different venues. In those games this stuff is fine by me. But when you pay ..20, 40 ,60, or $70 that's when it is not okay to any degree.

jznrpg526d ago

Start screen not cool either

walken7527d ago

They're testing the waters, vote with your wallets.

porkChop527d ago

That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
