Jason from XboxInsider writes: "My rant tonight is actually a related one too: how many games have shithouse multiplayer.
My problem isn’t with games having multiplayer per se, it’s more of how it’s shoehorned into games; partially due to ridiculous demand, partially due to ridiculous needs from developer ‘higher ups’. Why do they something so silly as adding multiplayer to a game that doesn’t really need it? Well, that’s where you come in, and shame on you it is! The executive devils are only following what is demand, and it’s players such as yourselves (maybe not you specifically) that have called for multiplayer, constantly whining that a single player package isn’t a ‘whole game’. So they add it to appease you; and you know what? Nine times out of ten, it’s really average (and I use that term very loosely)."
The voice actors for Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith have vaguely confirmed a claim by Rob Wiethoff (voice of John Marston) that big news related to the Red Dead franchise will be coming "before Friday."
I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2
I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.
I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.
My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.
For new players trying out Fallout 4, there are a few actions that gamers should avoid making as they journey with the Sole Survivor.
I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.
The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.
An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.
I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.
Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.
Bioshock 2 is a prime example. Single player suffers because of publishers thinking they can sell CoD numbers by adding multiplayer. Now Mass Effect 3 is gonna have multiplayer..... There might not even be a leveling system in the next 1, just shoot and talk.
Co-op is only as good as the people you are playing it with. I look for a 4 player co-op mode when looking at new games to buy. I have had many of fantastic co-op games of GRAW 1&2 over the years and use it to judge all other co-op games by.
Newer games such as Borderlands,Operation FlashPoint 2, and the upcoming Crackdown 2 will offer 4 player co-op campaigns that make for a great lesson in teamwork that you just don't get in "everybody for them selfs" games like CoD/W@W&MW2.
Teamwork seems to be a lost art form in video games which seems to get worse than better at each new games release. I don't know if they are turned off by meeting new people to play with or are just sick of a screaming ,foul mouthed 8 year old ridiculing your playing abilities. I recomend playing with people on your friends list for the best expereance.
I don't mind paying extra for a 4 player DLC add on like BFBC2's Onslaught mode,but get it out on time and give us some true value for the money!
