I really ran out of steam playing Ultimate about a year in. The netcode is just.....
Imagine a MP Star Wars game, similar to Battlefront, in that there are command posts to capture, but increase the scale. Remember how in ROTJ and TPM near the climax of the films, there's always like 3-4 plots happening simultaneously? Do that in a game. Have one squad of clone troopers shooting at droids on Geonosis, while in orbit a handful of your dudes are dogfighting trade federation droid fighters, while you have an epic light saber duel occurring perhaps on one of the command ships...
AI could be amazing as a tool to aid developers produce games with unprecedented scale and complexity, but an entire game made by AI? Putting good devs out of work? No thanks.
Jeff leaving Blizz was the obvious day the music died re: Overwatch. Frankly, seeing the 3 new heroes here, very bland character designs, I can see I'm not missing much. It really is depressing reading about Blizzard anymore.
In the gaming industry, prices haven't been going up really at all. Accounting for inflation, games used to be hundreds of dollars in 80s, and well over $100 in the 90s. Games in 2023 are $70-90 depending on where you live, which is literally the cheapest price AAA games have ever been. Quality on the other hand...
If people are limiting their spending, isn't that pushback on pricing? Is TT seriously trying to gaslight people into thinking that you can just send them an email if you think the price is too high on a AAA title? Let me know how that goes for you.
They literally account for people changing their spending habits in the article blurb.
AI are writing headlines.
Sure you do. In the lore, sure, Sam can't die, but the gameplay mechanic of restarting at a checkpoint after losing all your health is still present.
You already know the type of comments you'll be reading in this thread.
That's ancient history. If they're trying to capitalize off of the Griner fiasco, they're too late. The SEO on that is dead.
Found Phil Spencer's throwaway account.
Well, it won't be anything like Mass Effect, so jot that down. But it's Bethesda. And it's using the Creation engine. So it'll be exactly like Fallout in space.
Imagine being an Xbox owner, and it wasn't until Redfall was released that you had the thought "hey, maybe Xbox is kinda not great anymore" as if the entire last gen of Xbox wasn't proof positive that the ship was sinking. As if one single game could completely change the tides for Xbox. Makes one wonder, would PS3 have done as poorly as it did during gen 7 if Xbox didn't have Halo or Gears propping it up. Aside from those 2 IPs, they basically had identical libraries. ...
Because despite N4G standing for News for Gamerz, N4G is still a business that demands us clicking on their article posts. If they released all the reviews all at once, then we'd blow our load reading it all on the first day and there'd be nothing to post for the next 2 weeks.
More than likely not. Just making obvious rage bait so people read their sad review.
In what way is randomvoice trolling? The game is empirical trash.
I'm willing to bet, if you name your publication after one specific console, you're going to be heavily biased towards giving games (esp exclusives) higher than average scores for games for that console. An 8.5 for Redfall is conspicuous to say the least. I hope they get lots of rage clicks.
Nintendo doesn't have any problems. They still are selling Switch's and they keep making crazy money. Sounds like you just don't like the Switch. That's a you thing.
I guess the real question is: is Nintendo resting on their laurels, selling you a Zelda game with bad menu design because they know you'll still buy it anyway, or, is this article controversy bait? I mean "fatal flaw"? Yeah, 10+ million copies sold, the game sucks.
