I'd say it's totally possible it could be either or even more likely both of those things.
I'm with you on this one. At least at they are trying. If they abandoned it I'd be way more upset. Sadly, there just isn't any other game out there that offers what Battlefield does. Even a released I'm not jazzed about like this one offers me something I can't really get elsewhere. Maybe like a Planetside 2, but that game also has it's issues. Plus, I'm so far out of the loop now on that one that on the occasionally dip back into it I feel unable to compete.
I don't understand why folks seem to be demanding so much out of a re-release of a nearly ten year old game. I feel like folks are letting the recent remasters cloud their expectations and color their opinions of what is just another port with a couple minor new features. Am I missing something where Rockstar hyped this up to be some huge overhaul or something? Where do these high expectations for this ten year old game come from?
I'm all for these remakes as I think the first one was great and they are doing so much more with it, but I'm also one hundred percent done with more spin off FF7 games. I've been done with it for years. I agree. Give me new things or at least tap into something else for once.
I'm pretty much with you. I've played them all. They all had technical issues at launch. People seem to act like it's the worse it's ever been and it's just not. Does that make it ok? Well, no, but don't act like it's never happened before.
I like the idea of the specialists, but I would rather see classes still being used in some way to limit equipment. Rather than a medic who can resupply ammo and snipe with the ability to self heal, that medic specialist has access to a specific classes equipment that matches their general role.
Depends on the project, really. I remember hearing that the last God of War only really came together in the last few months where everything they were trying to do finally came together. Depending on what the issues with that small little bump could mean the difference between a relatively stable fun game and a buggy unsatisfying mess.
What is it in this situation? No idea, but I'm hoping that they aren't just blowing smoke about the general pace of development and...
Cyberpunk was delayed way more than a month. That last month was simply the last of many.
I will say that at this point, in a post Cyberpunk world, my reaction to delays is more of a "fine take the time" response more than anything. I don't love EA's reputation, but the delay itself is not what worries me on this one. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't tend to have many big delays in the past recent years do they? I'd rather here it's being delayed than half baked. I'm a long time BF franchise fan, but I'm not sold on this one...
I mean, Stardew is basically a giant love letter to Harvest Moon. So many games, both wonderful and drab, are built off of what came before them. I don't think judging them on that alone is terribly fair to the game. Granted, I think the trailer I dug up looked like it wasn't quite there, but that had less to do with what it took from Stardew and JRPG's and more that it's pacing looked a bit off. This is a hard thing to judge by a trailer though. Nothing wrong with another ta...
I didn't care a whole lot for the writing, but I enjoyed the raw gameplay. I see some comments about it being a bit mindless, but I feel like that is EVER looter shooter to a degree, and I think this one does a lot to keep it from just being "find a piece of cover and shoot." I was pulling pretty satisfying combos with the abilities I had, and they put effort into creating AI that forces you to keep moving and adjusting your approach.
People keep calling this ...
It's almost like society may be shifting in such a manner that your way of thinking may be on the decline. Digging in your heels on social change doesn't make you right, folks. It can often just make you look stubborn big headed.
The amount of butthurt over a bit of inclusiveness, though not surprising, is hilariously over blown. You all look like someone purposely sitting on upside down stools so they can complain about it.
As someone who has multiple trans and non binary friends, it's nice to hear they can potentially create an identity they can relate to in a property which means so much to so many. Especially so when the creator of said franchise has been doing a lot of work to alienate them...
Maybe it's possible they are just doubling down on trying to make sure it's a hit after the last one? Who knows, hopefully it's not a bad omen though.
I feel like with significant day 1 patch coming up we can at least hope that bugs will be less of an issue at the actual launch., Always worth mentioning them in the reviews, but ultimately final build may be better in that regard.
Only time will tell.
SullysCigar, it's pretty common for reviewers to get various topics they aren't allowed to discuss. In the vast majority of cases it's spoiler related. I can't speak for Cyberpunk specifically, but the existence of such rules on their own isn't a reason for much suspicion.
I'm not sure I agree with everything in that statement, but I definitely am with you regarding the affects of long term hype on reception of a game. Still excited to get my hands on it, but I don't blame anyone for it not being quite what they wanted or are into.
Honestly I think it's healthy to have some reviewers that are less into a game. If they find something about it they don't like then that may be relevant for others. It's ok to have reviews that stand out from the pack. diversity in opinions means people can better get a sense for what the game is and whether or not it is for them.
I feel like no matter how great this game is, no game can hold up to the amount of hype it's received. It's only going to hurt it's reception. I've seen enough impressions to know that the games strengths seem to be it's world and writing, and the combat is a bit of the less good side, particularly compared to current AAA dedicated shooters like your COD's and what not.
I'm still excited, but I'm trying real hard not to get over hyped.
I mean, I have my potential concerns about Starfield, but Redfall doesn't really have anything to do with that. Different studios and that. Bethesda did that to themselves. I'm excited to see what the end result is, but keeping my hype in check.
