Capsule Computers were recently invited to check out The Darkness II at Sydney’s night of gaming ‘Insert Coins‘ at Oxford Art Factory. While we’ve previously checked out The Darkness II Vendetta co-op Multiplayer mode, this was the first time we’ve gotten a taste of the game’s actual campaign and those horrifyingly awesome darkness powers.
PAX EAST has officially confirmed that Blizzard and 2K Games are amongst the bigger names attending the show. This would be two of the bigger names to return to live U.S. shows since the Covid Pandemic.
Good to hear. Past couple of years the show floor is getting smaller & smaller, with more space everywhere. Food truck trucks made their way on to the expo hall floor last year. Haven't seen that since 2012.
We stopped going to PAX West and let local team cover it. We could not justify airfare, rental car, food, hotel, etc for indies.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The Mafia games have always excelled in storytelling and voice acting. Though Mafia 3 faltered in some gameplay aspects, its story and, particularly, voice acting are tremendous."
Mafia III had a great narrative and some truly incredible performances. The gameplay loop had its issues but the story, acting, world and atmosphere don't get nearly enough credit.
I loved the story elements butbfirnme the gameplay loop went behind issues it was utterly dull and it's structure was it's downfall.
Go to area of map disrupt business through open world shenanigans that feel extremely rinse and repeat many times until cutscenes and boss fight then repeat again
They had so much potential especially in the CIA angle but it was squandered.
I wish they could do it over and focus on the narrative like a more traditional GTA game
First few hours: "This game is incredible!"
Hour 10: "Wait, that's it? I'm going to be doing the same thing over and over for the rest of the game??"
As of November 25, the 2K launcher is no longer required in any 2K published games on either Steam of Epic Games Store.
Much like Bethesda’s & Paradox’s, I never understood even the notion that these launchers should be required. Even from their own business perspective I could never even imagine someone purchasing a game through them and not being recognised as a hinderance more than anything else.
Quad wielding looks pretty sweet, controls better be decent though.
this is a game im going to buy for sure.
