Fallout London hasn't exactly had an ideal launch—crashing issues have been reported by players—but overall reaction is still posititve.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.
Hey, maybe the deal with massive is to try and keep some mmo's free by using ingame ad's. not as many gamers are willing to spend a monthly fee in addition to xbox live fee, so that would be greatly appreciated. just try and keep the ad's realistic as to what you would really see if you were there in the simulated world. (i.e. you cant just put a bunch of ad's for a new gaming headset coming out for a game based in the 1930's) in that case, maybe show a brief 30 second commercial after you log in. as annoying as that sounds, it is worth watching to keep a mmo fee free.
