Could be something you were hyped for, maybe followed or wishlisted, that you had a change of heart and are not longer interested in.mine is pic related
I remember being a consolefag and being so envious of PC having DayZ, then I eventually got a PC and bought the game only for it to be one of the worst games I ever played.
>>719634031The next Elder Scrolls game. Current Bethesda cannot deliver a good product anymore.
>>719634448sadly I feel the same way. Starfield was such a massive disappointment for me (preordered and started playing the minute it dropped, and ended up refunding 90 minutes in) that I just don't have faith in the next ES.
>>719634031It's only been 10 years it will be fine
>>719635237>It's only been 10 years it will be finego to bed Chris
Biggest disappointment of the decade
>>719634226Yeah standalone fucking sucks and you missed the days where it was good.
>>719634585It took you until Starfield and not FO4 to realise this?
>>719634031PCfag my whole life. Wanted console games. When they came to PC or when I found out I can emulate them, never cared to.
>delay>delay>rework>delay>we are bringing co-op!>nvm delay lolShit developer spends all his time on twitter having catfights about trannies and Hollow Knight, still has the gall to act like he is putting all the attention on content. Mentally ill motherfucker.
>>719635750It's a different culture that doesn't sacrifice their lives for their work. I think the game has come a long way and still can't wait for co-op. Patience is a virtue.
The idea of an open world RPG set in Hogwarts seems amazing.Then i did some research and turns outs its just another souless Ubislop open world wearing a Harry Potter skin.
>>719635404what's wrong with mountain blade? Haven't followed bannerlord too much
>>719635467you're right, I should've seen the writing on the wall. Guess I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Won't be making that mistake again
I upgraded my PC for this.
>>719634031Mostly full releases of games from next fest that had pretty fun demo like Nitro Express
I saved up my allowance and got a DS SPECIFICALLY to play this game since I was such a fan of SSSC and Eternal Blue. The disappointment and betrayal I felt is something no child should have to experience
>>719636036>Get latest hardware>Game still run and looks like shit
Played through Zeno Clash 1 & 2 just because I really wanted to play this game. Loved those games.Then I actually played this piece of shit and had to turn it off after 74 minutes. At least if it wasn't for my hype I wouldn't have played those 2 other cool and unique games, so it was still worth is somewhat I guess.
>>719635850One minute in their Discord reading posts from the devs tells you it's all mental disorders and probably a dysfunctional toxic work environment.The guy is legit deranged and their work has clearly suffered from it.
>>719636202not sure what you saw in this, I took one look and figured it'd be dogshit
>>719635750This.They add nothing for you to actually DO but they freak the fuck out and start pity farming everywhere when people stop buying into their EA scam.
>>719635404It pisses me off that they got away with just remaking Warband with slightly improved graphics and then abandoned it to modders. They made so many promises and delivered nothing. At this point you can find mods that sort of flesh it out and add things the devs marketed the game on, but that's just not acceptable.
>>719636036>>719636198Exact same, though for some reason the game ran perfectly fine for me, which somehow made it worse since I can't blame performance issues for it being DOGSHIT
>>719636202eh, i liked it after i realized the ritual before each fight was a dumb waste of time. The level layouts could be better too since I got lost a couple of times before the devs made the map easier to read. Still not as good as Zeno 1 but better than Zeno 2 in my opinion.
>>719634031Kingdom Hearts 3. I was a massive KH faggot in the PS2, PSP days but KH3 skipped 2 whole generations and took too long to come out. I lost all interest in the series.
>>719634031Starfield.
>(you)
>>719636245>toxic work environment
>>719636245I spent a minute in their discord, I share none of your opinions.
>download demo>80% of it is cutscenes>the little combat you get is kinda meh and feels more like a bland action game than an RPGI'll probably still buy eventually, but ive decided to wait for a good sale
Is Exanima worth playing despite being an eternal EA that will never ever?
Darkfall.If you know, you know.
>>719634226>go through the bullshit of playing Skyrim and Fallout with console modding>make the jump back to PC and look at what you were missing out on the whole timeI still wonder if M$ was regretting that decision by giving them a taste at something that can't be properly monetized yet. The Snoy attempts aren't even worth mentioning from how pathetic they were.
>>719636609Feels like is impossible to make these kind of game work in todays environment.
>>719635750I randomly bumped into this game and was so excited because it actually looked like a breath of fresh air in the soulsloppa genre.Then I looked at the development history and sighed.Early access is pure cancer. I don't care about the 5% of games that actually succeed because of it. They're not worth the other 95% never getting finished or released because the devs already have your money.
It was a game I could play once, now it doesn't have servers.
>>719636608If you get the arena savefile that gives you a bunch of different weapons and sets to play around with from the get-go it's alright. Polearms are stupidly OP compared to everything else and swords are fucking useless once the AI starts abusing full plate with two layers of extra padding.
For me it was Halo 5. Look at these trailers and tell me there's a god. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd1VjjarUl0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMxTfCTltUc
>>719636538it's a single player game and square enix doesnt deserve your money, just pirate it.Also you're much better off just playing the 7 Remake since it's basically 16 but good.Modern developers cannot create anything original anymore.
Homeworld 3. It crashed so hard that I cant even be sure I'd bother to install it if they gave away copies.
>>719636609I never played it, but I remember the Darkfail threads.
>>719634226I had a similar preconception playing The Orange Box on my 360 wishing I could use all the cool alternate weapons PC TF2 had.Ha ha.
DD2 for me as well.Knowing they pulled budget from it to put into that piece of shit Wilds makes me just a little bit angwy.
It looked promising, I expected skyrim in space with fallout 4 base buildingBut holy shit did they drop the ball...
>>719634448They never delivered a good product, apart from once in 2002.
>>719636970oh hey I had that experience as wellcommunity maps are worth it thobeit
Firefall.These fucking assholes.
>>719635980Still no feasts
saw the gameplay, love the first one, but nope, this is just a reskin
>>719635750is this the game where the lead dev was begging for good reviews on discord? Saying that if any more people gave it bad reviews he would have dropped the game?
>>719635973Everyone wanted this to be Bully: Hogwarts edition or a proper Hogwarts sim. Instead it was just a decent open world third person shooter. Massive waste of potential on every level, but still not a bad game. Letting you use the forbidden curses on every enemy with absolutely no consequences or impact to how people see your character is beyond lazy though and really does kill any sense of immersion. I wanted to torture fellow classmates and be a truly evil character, but the game doesn't let you.
>>719637265I would've been more interested if it wasn't one of those extremely cinematic guided experiences
>>719637191I never heard that, but that sounds exactly like what they would say so probably.
>>719634031What you posted. I was fucking hyped. Also pic rel.Still listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfuS22_5Fec sometimes. It slaps.
>>719637114why does a video game need an IRL bus?
>>719636187What was so bad about it?Don't know anything about this game.
>>719636036Capcom is fucking dead to me after this shit. I'm still livid over a year later. Faggots.
>>719637114This game was such a glorious financial disaster. You don't see trainwrecks like this every day, this one was documentary worthy.
>>719635750I'm so glad I didn't fall for this garbage. This is such a clear example of why early access games have a terrible reputation and shouldn't ever be supported.
I liked 2016 and Eternal. I was less than impressed with the footage from this game.I'd totally play it if it went on sale for like, five bucks.
Cataclismo plugged the Castle Story shaped hole in my heart.
>>719637191He isn't wrong but he shouldn't be making a public statement about it to his horde of parasocials. You can practically fuck the trajectory of an indie shitter with enough review bombs providing he doesn't have the means to remove them in a quick enough fashion. But threatening to pull the plug as the final straw to said cultists is bitch behavior. And this doesn't account for anything other factors like getting cannibalized by a better game coming out at the same time ala Silksong 2.
>>719636202Finished this a few days ago. Fantastic game. Took about 2-3 hours of frustration to start making sense. Saw it through to the end despite a half-broken controller. I can't fathom at all calling it a "piece of shit", or implying its lack of uniqueness compared to its predecessors.
>>719636997>It looked promising
>>719634031This game has crazy atmosphere. I remember playing an early version and getting all the way through what was available. All the big animated suits of armor towards the end.And now years later there's nothing new still lol
Fallout 4, was expecting post apocalyptic skyrim clone and then they showed the trailer where the protagonist talks and the building mechanic.I went into it expecting it to suck and somehow it still managed to be worse than I anticipated.
>>719637964There's a fun mod called Hellmode now.
>>719636535Then you might be clinically retarded.
>>719637874nta but it didthankfully I was JUST skeptical enough and pirated it insteadbecause holy shit, I do not think anyone but Bethesda could make such an inherently killer concept so fucking BORING to play in.Guarantee you if you gave the game to CDPR (if you want actual good writing) or Kojima (if you want retardation but KINO game design), it would've been a generational game and we'd be seeing clones of it still cropping up 10-20 years later.
>>719637191Yep, that's the one. Same dev that is now shitting on Hollow Knight.Same dev that went around shitting on every other indie game out there while complaining about sales stating "no rest for the wicked is so much better than any of these other games, it should be selling more than them" on their Discord.And so on.
Still waiting for the development hell sequel/remake.Such a cool idea.
>>719638120>pirated it insteadi didn't even bother to do that
>>719637690It's a great game. Actually has the best gameplay out of the three. Easily destroys Eternal because its pure combat without any of the garbage platforming or stupid as fuck glory kill for health and ammo loop. Probably the most true to real Doom.
>>719637704they made Ori 1 and 2, they're not noobs
>>719634031I wasn't super hyped or anything, but it was still a letdown.
>>719638242lol
>>719637704He *is* wrong though. They aren't some tiny indie production, they made Ori 1 and 2 and are fully published and funded by Microsoft. Their game is trash and deserves to fail. His tantrums about it only make it more necessary.
My hype was through the roof. I loved Mordor and a few months before the game they released an update which allowed you to transfer one ally and one nemesis to the next game. They also, it was the rage at the time, made several stream where they played the game. I even preordered it! Then it came out and the graphics were ugly, the nemesis system butchered, the uruks cartoonish.
>>719638370Eh they bought their own publishing rights now, but they are still wrong.
>>719638214Didn't this shit require real money to respawn?
>>719637265I have the perfect game for you
>>719636854Sounds like it's not worth my time yet. Appreciate the input.
>>719638374I felt like it was overall a massive improvement over everything from the first game. The story in both is stupid and non-canon (but nowhere near as insultingly bad as Rings of Power and other recent Lord of the Rings adjacent media), but all the systems and gameplay built on the first really well. The nemesis system could have been improved and fleshed out more but I loved building my armies and sieging bases.
>>719634031I would post it but that would mean I'm promoting it for free so nah
Similar situation as Dragon's Dogma 2. A sequel to decent games, where even just adding some proper polish and finishing the already existing ideas ought to make for a great game. Only for it to turn out to be a wet fart.
>>719638568it lacked the grim of the first one and the story was too quippy for me still sore over the ending where Talion turns heel because the elf has a vagina so she's right
>>719638360It's true. You'll realize it whenever you decide to pick it up.
>>719638517No.The PC version is still up.The main issue is just how insanely grindy the gear upgrading system is.
>>719638643Hm, maybe I just won't play it at all. After all, I like Eternal. I probably won't like Dark Ages.
>>719638605Would be a good game if it ran well. Just another on the pile of unplayable UE5 dogshit.
>>719638120>, it would've been a generational game and we'd be seeing clones of it still cropping up 10-20 years later.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>>719638732did they ever fix the ai?
>>719638727>I like Eternal
>>719638541You could probably check back in another 20 years and the results will be the same. At this point I wouldn't really worry about it. There is always Halfsword if you want a meme physics fighter with the added benefit of gore and a quick turn around by comparison.
>>719638813Don't know, last time I tried it the game was too busy chugging frames and having performance problems for me to find out.
>>719638820>frogposterChecks out.
>>719638765anon, even JUST the concept of that game is why Star Citizen is the most crowdfunded ANYTHING, ever.That's how bad people want a game that Starfield technically is.
>>719636202It's really good until you realize the health system is broken and then the ending is shit
>>719636036I had fun with it and put 80 hours in. That said, I will probably never touch it again and it could and should have been so, so much more than it is.
>>719635750isn't that from the dev who made ori?the last thing I seen about this game is the dude is a massive crybaby on twitter
>>719635404Na. Butterlord is fine its just not as big of a leap as people wanted. Its basically just Warband but prettier. The real problem is people still haven't been making big mods for it. They are just making more warband mods instead
>>719635404>butcher Vaegirs by mixing them with Nords>announce DLC adding Nords to the game
>>719638820Eternal is genuinely fantastic, still don't understand the meltie so many people have for it
>>719638189screenshots, I wanna see that :3
>>719639256>take more shit away from the Not-Vaegirs like shields and clan symbols to give to the seaniggersLolLmao
>>719637538Running on map drains your HP Long jrpg where your weapons break and you have to replace them oftenRunning away from battles requires using the DS micBattle spoils make you choose between XP and items/moneyThere is a finite amount of MP restoration items in the gameAnd the music sucks for a series that has a focus on musicIts honestly a terrible jrpg over all
>>719638813They keep claiming they did for a while now, but every new patch says it's fixed again. So no. We will not get the same ai we had with the original trilogy.
Going from STALKER 2 to this one was like a hook to the jaw after a gut punch. I never trusted Grigorovich, but I could at least trust Gabler and he still fucked it up.
>>719634031I was a boy when this game got it's e3 trailer. I don't really know what excited me so much since the trailer didn't really show that much. But space soldiers fighting monsters is always cool.I was following this game until it eventually died. They had it playable to a certain extent but scrapped everything to redo it in another engine (unity I believe). They released some tech demo/training courses you could play where you would do target practice against robots. Then they released it as early access and started focusing on multiplayer. Was actually pretty decent. The game was shaping up to be almost like a tactical shooter which would have been interesting if they ever got anywhere with the campaign.Think money ended up running out and the game died. Think about it from time to time and get sad even though the game I had in my head never really existed at all.
>>719638214This game is fun for 20 or so hours but then in the end game you realize how fucking grindy it is to continue playing. I just want an offline mode so I can mod the grind down.
>>719638854I'm mostly looking for nice open worlds to immerse myself in and adventure around. Most of the well known ones I've already played, and there isn't much of a market for indie open world games.
>>719634031Fucking LOVED the style and enjoyed the gameplay so I even donated 10$ during the demo period, then it hit steam... and then.. nothing.. for like 4 years only to find out the fucking faggot made THREE games and is working on another one (with the same style) but with his track record of making these games, not finishing them I refuse to even pay attention to them seeing as he's probably a scammer
>>719639863the "new game"
>>719636387They keep making small updates that keep breaking mods lmao
>>719636036>Clear all desert area>Power goes out>Lost ALL progress in that one area>QuitAnd yet I loved DD1 and bought it 3 times...
>>719639681Worst part is, the main appeal of the game, the space sharks with legs, were never anything other than a single static 3d model.
>>719637114>Em-8er
The demo took the wind out of my sails completely after realizing the game is only Shinobi in name and nothing else.
>>719638120>it would've been a generational gameIt wouldn't. It's because the setting doesn't have alien races.No aliens = no alien sex.They could create the best gameplay ever, and it would still never be a cult classic.
>>719634031Starfall Protocol.Essentially started out as Rimworld in space and now I have no idea what the fuck they are going for.
>>719634031I got banned from their discussions because I called out the devs for scamming years ago, glad to see I was right.
>>719635973Never bothered playing it since every physical version still requires a download.
When i was a kid I was mad that Munch's Oddysee was swapped from ps2 to xbox, like seething mad it ruined my month but i managed to forget about it Then i played it years later, it was total shit, Abe's Oddworld in 3d is just a bad idea
>>719638242>without any of the garbage platforming or stupid as fuck glory kill for health and ammo loopTDA looks like a fucking MMORPG during combat though.
>>719634031
>>719634031Exanima is one of those games where you think it's gonna be deep and interesting and fun but it's notit's not a real game, it's a puzzle to be solved and once you solve it, the only difficulty you'll find is when your limbs get tangled for 0 reason
>>719640669Hello
>>719634031Why would anyone care for Exanima in a world where Halfsword exists? Devs got too fucking lazy and the combat in exanima just never got good
>>719639206Bro, when I last played you couldn't even make custom soldier groups, the game is fucking stupid and filled with stupid decisions while having EVEN MORE problems with the economy and wargame than Warband ever did.
>>719634031salt and sanctuary is one of my favorite games, so this being a disappointment really made me seethe. I kind of want to give it another go now. I mean, it couldn't have been THAT bad, right? Maybe I'm still coping and I'm going to receive a 'fell for it again' award when I give it another go.
>>719634031Pragmata. Found out the director is Korean. RE9. Found out the director is Nakanishi.
>>719640669>Abe's Oddworld in 3d is just a bad ideaStranger's Wrath was alright though.
>>719638264I'm pretty happy that game was a failure given how relentless shilled it was here.
>>719637114I'm still mad, I actually enjoyed that game for a while and I wanted to FUCK the latina mission control chick.
Pic related is how I learned to never preorder ever again.
>>719634031ROUTINEOnly because back on 2012, I could run it.Now it's UE5 and I can barely run those games and I can't upgrade.
The BloodlinePolylithicSailing EraSkald
I could have gotten a 64DD for Christmas. Instead I asked for the collectors edition of Spore.
>>719640853>decisions while having EVEN MORE problems with the economy and wargame than Warband ever did.Banner Kings manages to reset it back to a supply and demand driven economy. But the fact that they took the first system from Warband and threw it out the window makes you wonder what the fuck they are even doing up there. A sequel should expand on what was already fine and make that better not throw the whole thing out and replace it with half baked dogshit.
>>719640853I've never even been in a siege because whenever I do my side never help me.
>>719638813https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lsa4eCmdSwIt's way more advanced than on release. On release, enemies always knew your position, and they never took cover.They are also porting the game to the latest UE version, which supposedly has Epic's performance fixes.
>>719641328>enemies always knew your position, and they never took cover.So it was just the same as stalker SoC then
>>719634031they actually made a tribes 3 after this but it died in about a month
>>719638242wrong
>>719635404this
>>719640863At least it was telegraphed from the get go the moment they took the Timmybucks.
>>719639351I don't save screenshots of his melties, but there's a thread about Ori's developer dumping shit about Hollow Knight every so often on the catalogue since yesterday. That'd be him.If you look up the game name on google plus developer controversy you also get a handful of his many schizo rambles that he of course had to post on twitter.
>>719634031And there I was, thinking Dead Space 3 was as bad as it could get.
>>719634031Exanima is still fun to mess around with in Arena mode. And I did enjoy doing the dungeon delve a few times. So it was worth the money to me. That being said, I would have been happy if they could actually reach their insane goals in a reasonable amount of time. You see them post weekly updates on what they're doing to the game on their forums and it's always shit like object randomization or a remake of the AI/physics/movement system for the 10th time. You can tell there is some insane autism there. That's why they're never gonna get it done.
>>719642103My favourite is,>my game is not selling because I didn't put trannies in it>it's all the trannies' fault>TRANNIIIIIIIIESLegit /v/ shitposting tier nonsense
>>719642209You must enjoy getting milked dry eh
>>719638813No idea how it was on release because my pc then couldnt run it. Playing through it right now and i'm about to move out of the first area. I see NPC's sometimes react to mutants, sometimes they dont. Damage is also severely fucked because I see NPC's hit a dog with at least 30 bullets before they go down. Some rat swarm attacked a group of NPCs, they all got killed while not killing a single rat.Aside from that I get random extreme fps drops that persist until reload/restart so I guess there are memory leaks present.
>>719637964They added telekinetic magic. You get to blast zombies off their feet from a distance. Fun, for a while.
>>719642192Haven't tried this yet. What's so bad about it?
>>719642209Cuck detected, how does it feel having their cheesy balls in your mouth?
>>719640852Halfsword has got nothing like Exanima's dungeon delve.
I had absolute loyalty to Bungie despite Reach not being everything I wanted. The ARG threads where we had nothing but some Marty O’Donnell tracks and cool concept art were pure wishcasting. I thought the whole Sabre sequence in Reach was Bungie laying the groundwork for flying the ships in Destiny. It was going to be the perfect FPS that would also complete the meta narrative they had going since Marathon. Then I played the game and got a decent for what it was shooter with shitty loot mechanics, a garbage story, terrible progression mechanics and reasonably fun multiplayer, the definition of a 6-7/10. Completely broke my faith in Bungie.
>>719634031Kenshi 2. "bigger studio" and its using UE5, for a game of that scale it is absoloutely going to have to dial it back just so the performance isnt unplayable. UE5 is awful at loading assets on demand, and Kenshi relies on it heavily.
>>719634031stormgate tbqhfamits sad that the rts genre died. its just too hard for the average gamer and filters too many people
>>719642513Examina doesn't have a dungeon delve, it has linear demo areas that are somehow more repetitive than draugr dungeons in skyrim
>>719642548It doesn't help it ain't fun.
>>719642305>>719642446>pay a pitiful amount of money once to a game that gives you several hours of enjoyment, say it was fun>DAMN, WHAT A KEK, I BET YOU ENJOY GETTING MILKED DRY HUHIs this bait or retardation?
>>719641058>Skald
I wanted a sequel to Endless Legend for years but after seeing Humankind and how the devs are I think I'll pass the game is gonna be ass.
>>719634031Its kinda crazy that Exanima was supposed to just be a quick test before they worked on their main project.
>>719640535based
>>719642414>Haven't tried this yet.Don't bother.>What's so bad about it?Everything.
>>719637490Director embezzled money for his lesbian rape fetish website (really) and covered it up by spending millions and a stupid bus that broke down instead of working on his game. He’s been grifting ever since.
>>719634031Spore
>>719642542>Kenshi>UE5How the hell do they expect to have a world like Kenshi 1 in that case? I know sometimes it runs like grit in a sausage machine but the world was still pretty reactive.UE5 is so not made for that kind of scale.
>>719642765Isn't that what examina devs are doing by making sui generis without saying so on the store page?
>>719634031witchter 3 heard everyone suck it off waited to goty to get everythingbored in 10 hours fucking shit game
>>719642192You will feel annoyed and bored instead of scared. That’s the death knell but it’s also regularly bad on top of that.
>>719640852I have seen retards play Halfsword by picking up a weapon and just shaking the mouse back and forth and walking into people. if you think that is the kind of combat that is good I dont know what to tell you.
>>719638120>Guarantee you if you gave the game to CDPR (if you want actual good writing) or Kojima (if you want retardation but KINO game design),
>>719642791I know, the game started development when everyone was on the UE cock carousel where the engines just worked. They are absoloutely going to have to pull back to get the game to run well and its for sure going to be a different experience from the first one. Smaller but nicer looking, which is not at all what I wanted from a sequel, I wanted bigger.Hey, at least UE is pretty moddable, maybe there will be overhauls after 10 years.
>>719640669I remember enjoying the abe oddysee game on the OG xbox, haven't played any of the others though
>>719642909sure any random retard can pick up a weapon and start swinging. They'll always lose to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Same in real life
>>719642532I knew it was going to be bad when the guy who made Falskaar was a level designer on it
>>719642840So glad I never played that game. It was memed way too hard back in the day
The game is actually fun and has a unique enough item system to differentiate from mario kart. But it being 40 bucks AND having microtransactions starved it of the initial playerbase.
>>719642414it's the most generic ripoff of dead space ever made, and on top of that it's worse and is just boring
>>719638605why the FUCK did this happen to all my favorite games?why do I have to suffer like this?
>>719640121I'm most of the way through this and it's fucking amazing. And yes I'm in my 30s and played Shinobi on the Genesis growing up.
>>719642840This and those new God of War games just made me skeptical of games that people universally praise. They arent bad, but my god they are like unbuttered toast in terms of gameplay, I get nothing from this, and I almost feel broken somehow for just finding it boring, I didnt finish either.
>>719642751you're still buying into that cope excuse huh? Sui Genesis is never coming out, it's minimum 20-30 years away at best
>>719642791>UE5 is so not made for that kind of scale.Chris is going to learn that lesson the hard way if he hasn't already. Kenshi already ran like shit without exasperating it further via mods.
>>719642542Well it can't be worse than ogre, so it's fine
>>719642414It had a "innovative" melee combat system thats broken, the entire game relies on you using it.
>>719638120its skyrim/fallout in space you spook
>>719643280At least Bannerlord has The Old Realms
>>719643382Yeah but when was the last UE5 game that you heard of that could have more than 100 units onscreen without shitting a brick? You couldn't run something like UWE without causing a housefire in the process.
>>719642997>>719643352I have got to wonder if he's regretting it. I saw the vid he and his sister(?) put out a while ago, and I believe him when he says he's making a game he would want to play. But unless he's going to be a god with optimization, rest in peace our frames.
>>719643292I'm sure it's fine, but the game is Shinobi in name only. I don't play Shinobi for story segments, world exploration, or combo systems. I play it for tightly paced levels with do-or-die one-hit kills everywhere.
>>719642414Focused on melee combat for most encounters and the melee was REALLY fucking repetitive.
>>719643437There's not enough to explore for that.
>>719643303new god of war 1 is good for a playthough2 is dog shitbut witcher 3 is you doing the protect spell get hit do it again and again
>>719635980Bannerlord is just flanderized WarbandIn Warband you started off as a nobody and had to fight, get experience, buy gear, recruit companions, make money running trade routes or buying businesses, and farm relations with lords before you could join a faction and do endgame shitIn Bannerlord they just skip 80% of the game for you, and send you to do the big army on army combat straight away, which boils down to lining up your archers and watching them delete everything with 0 casualties, because it's a dumb power fantasy for nogames /lit//his/ millennials and taking losses feels badBasically it just sucks and has no redeeming qualities
Lost Soul Aside. I thought the trailers looked cool. Beat it and felt nothing. Why can't the Chinese make good games?
>>719643520If he does find a way I hope it doesn't come at the expense of smaller scope and less unit counts. It might be a few thousand years earlier during the reign of the Second Empire. That shouldn't mean that everything is objectively smaller when most areas of the map should be in a better state than they were during the time of the first Kenshi. Maybe you won't have the roving warbands of skin bandits and fugmen but the expected higher technology level should imply that far stronger things are running around now to make up the power deficit.
>>719634031I was excited for ff7re until I realized they "modernized" it. I borrowed it, and didn't bother after about 8 hours or soI was excited for smash until I realized there were only a few modes, not all the stages or music came back, and I wasn't in any of the dlc's demographics. I still occasionally play squad strike for fun
>>719636036Same here. Built a new PC from scratch for the first time in a decade throwing away my decade old rig in the process. Bought the best parts in my budget ($2.75k) after spending 2 months shopping around, all in anticipation of playing the game at its best. Then the fucking character creator demo comes out and all my interest fucking evaporates in the hour I spent fucking around with it. Removing the height mechanic due to PR faggotry was one thing, but I could tell by the way the creator was geared towards creating ugly brown pseudo-realistic freaks that Capcom had rubbed their filthy hands all over the game. I cancelled my pre-order about a week before the game released and I couldn't be more glad that I did, they totally fucked it up and now I feel like a retard for building a gaming rig that's only been used to play multi-plats that can run on a fucking Switch.
>>719634226Oh god this.Thankfully Fallout and TES modding was indeed as awesome as it looked.
>>719643823NEVER buy a chinese game on release, and always look at some reviews before buying one(this is really what you should do for all game anway). I genuinely cannot think of 1 good Chinese video game, and I bet you can't either.
the gothic remakethen I played the demo and it was pretty mediocre but I had the hope left that they're totally gonna fix shitat the latest gamescom there was another gameplay showcase and melee combat looks like complete shit
>>719636036I spent months convincing myself it wasn't that bad. Until I realized I just wasn't interested in replaying it.It was like those kids that watched the Prequels in theaters for the first time, it takes a while to get used to how unfinished it really was.
>>719643779ignore the banner quest and its the same fucking game.
>>719634448After starfield there's no way anyone can deny this. I guess I'll just have to start liking souls games for my normal normalfag rpg slop
>>719644164Gothic combat has always been shit, take off your nostalgia goggle, it's the world that you play gothic for not the gameplay just like morrowind
>>719642192Dead Space 3 was never even bad. It was actually pretty great. That's such a stale /v/ narrative from people who didn't play it.But yes, Callisto Protocol was shockingly bad. The only thing it had going for it were the graphics and I don't think they could have made a shittier, less fun game if they had tried.
>>719637690Same, despite the lore cringe I like nu-Doom.They are however insane in charging premium for this, looked so unimpressive. I even like the "STAND AND FIGHT" idea, departing so much from Eternal. But man I'm not looking forward to those dragon/scripted parts. I'll buy it when its not pricier than a cheap sandwich.
Speaking of, is darkest 2 worth buying for someone who didn't beat 1?
>>719639639whats wrong with it?apart from being more of the same of an already tired formula
>>719642414>combat stolen from a 15 year old iPad game>half the game is crawling through vents>entire game has two bosses, one is recycled (without changes) three times and the other one's the endboss>weapons all feel the same and the best strategy is to just grab enemies and chain throw them into the nonsensically placed spike walls one after the other>shit story that has the MC sacrifice himself for some unlikable girlboss at the end for no reason>genuinely the most bland art style I've ever seen in my entire life, game feels like it was built using nothing but asset packs
>>719644431Fuck off. G1 combat was clunky but functional, G2 combat was pretty good refined version of G1 melee.And even if what you said was true, it's not excuse to deliver even worse combat over 20 years later.
>>719634226DayZ was on PS+ last month, and I completely forgot it even had a console port. I don't know why anyone would even play that style of game on a console.
Maybe not THAT hyped but still
>>719640535ex anima was supposed to be a prototype for another game too lmao
>>719644468The game is fun and if you disliked anything about Eternal, then I guarantee Dark Ages will be a much better game to you. The parts with the dragon and the mech are pretty short and there aren't many of them, and on top of that they arw actually pretty fun. It's a good game and it sounds like you will enjoy it since you aren't an Eternaltranny who hates Doom like that other anon.
>>719644016>Thankfully Fallout and TES modding was indeed as awesome as it looked.A lot of people aren't really aware of just how buckbroken the console modding is compared to PC. Your average 4k ass and tiddies package will take up the vast majority of your allotted space because they capped it out at 4GBs. And that isn't including the potential money stealing from breaking the TOS because no nudes or copyright infringing materials. The situation is even worse for Snoys becaue they can't draw from anything that isn't included in the basegame archives themselves. Part of the reason why they pushed the Creation Club as a way to bypass these restrictions while still making a buck off the efforts of others.
>>719640863This. Such a fucking let down.
>>719644635You would only complain again if it had souls combat
>>719644164I never had any hopes for it. I don't think the vibe of Gothic is possible to capture for a contemporary game developer. Also check out, if you haven't, the unreal engine version. You can toggle it in the betas section in Gothic 1 Classic properties.
>>719638995>>719644249I wasn't interested in replaying it either, but I bit the bullet and it was much more fun than I remembered. In the beginning at least. Trying to do everything rather quickly overlevels you.>>719640010Did you play offline or something? The game autosaves every time you pick up something, it's almost impossible to lose anything unless you load an inn save.
>>719642840I bought it day one and to this day I do not get the hype or what anyone saw in it. Same experience, 10-15 hours in I was just bored and never came back to it. I actually liked The Witcher 2 too, so I was doubly confused why 3 was impossible to get into for me. The open world was just so soulless and the story was bland.
>>719640669i really enjoyed munch's oddysee- the 3d gameplay can be kinda wonky but it grew on me and the jokes were great, some of which i still quote to this day
>>719644743What? I loved Eternal, I just welcome the change of pace.
>>719644908No, dogma 2 doesn't save unless you rest somewhere.
>>719640863I completely forgot this existed. I loved Sanctuary back then, then this was stuck on EGS so I never bothered to look anything about it for years. Then one day it pops on my steam recommended full of negative reviews.
>>719635973The herbology teacher a cute tho
>>719636609I vaguely remember this one, why did it fail though? I remember it was pretty well anticipated?
>>719645067Yes it does, every time I died I respawned close to where I was.
>>719636513don't get me started breh
>>719645007It's the most welcome change of pace possible imo. It feels like a proper successor to the original Doom 2 in terms of how many enemies are on screen at a time. The new guns are fucking great too.
>>719645109>Reddit spacing
>>719645007>i loved eternalso you never played doom or liked it
>>719645164It was a lot better than CoH2, what didn't you like about it?
>wait years for DD2>the worst gaming disappointment in my life>one day pirate Tainted Grail on a literal whim expecting nothing>ends up one of my favorite games in yearsI don't know if it's just a result of having 0 expectations or what but it's funny how some things work out
>>719636513>>719645267Your own fault for gaving any semblance of hope for this mess.
>>719644371It's not even close, everything that made Warband good got replaced with lazy procedurally generated slop: no companions, no lord personalities, consoleshit perks, procedural slop weapons, no real trade routes, the econonmy is just random bullshit and it breaks itself all the timeYou WILL play their dogshit 3rd person Total War Warhammer wannabee, and you will be happy, because the devs decided trying to play Bannerlord like an immersive medieval sim is not allowed
>>719645345I didn't even bother buying it, I was hoping for some Pacific theater content. I pacifically asked for it!
>>719645436in my defense I was a young, hopeful 21 year old when I put it on my wishlistI thought video games could still be good and modern developers still cared back then
>>719645390Did TG have third person 'venturing or was it locked to first person? I heard the latter so I never bothered to look further into it.
>>719635404Yeah it's up there
>>719643528I played it for the cool ninja magic and designs. The level design being like Megaman X on crack with a dash of metroidvania is great for me, and the combat has combos and movement tech that actually feel good. The fact that it ditches old design choices like contact damage that I never liked makes me like it more. It's like how modern JRPGs dropped random encounters. They were a part of old games, but always the worst part.
>>719634585https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEZsGUqgtHQ
>>719636036Yeah...I ended up not upgrading my PC, but was still massively disappointed.All that hype for nothing.
>expect straight forward FPS campaign about blasting demons with cool and overly edgy stuff>get randomly generated combat encounters, extraction shooter in early access where you replay the same maps over and over so you can get more gay points to do it all over again>also there's like, 3 maps in the game
>>719645549Made me check when it was added to the steam store. 20 fucking 18. What a joke.
>>719645260Are you retarded? My power went out
>>719645682Yeah this one for me too.Thought it'd be fun hexen/heretic style shit but it's just shit instead.
>>719645556There is third person but it's basically unfinished
>>719645279>how many enemies are on screen at a timeThem upping enemy count is what somewhat redeemed Eternals DLC for me, so that's good. From the clips I've seen some of the enemies in DA seem to stick together and somewhat act like a single entity, but I hope that's not the entire case. >The new guns are fucking great too.They definitely caught my attention. Even if the game has parry focus I tend to love shields as well.I hope you can skip the cutscenes at least, as I said if there is one thing in Eternal that I hate is the lore/plot. It was some truly horrible writing and DA seems to be even worse. >>719645342You can have that (You) back, tribalism anon.
>>719645549So long as you haven't given them a $100 for their efforts you should be golden. Better to learn this lesson now rather than holding out false hope for a world that just doesn't exist anymore.
>>719637190Oh it's YOU agains
>>719645390i have that in my backlog.what's good/bad about it?and no, i didn't play skyrim, nor i intend to
>>719645820That's too bad.
>>719644924i got to the red barron and I was just like I dont give a fuck
>>719645682>>719645768>Levelling up makes the game harder and enemies scale with youAnd it's another one of those EA forever games, shame.
>>719645682>Look it up>STILL in EAWhy did they turn it into lootershooter/roguelike, WHY
>>719646023So it can stay in EA obviously
>>719645682Play Darkwatch and appreciate kino the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
>>719646063Man Darkwatch is such a good little game
>>719634031>oh shit a new rayman game>greatly enjoyed the previous 3>watch e3 teaser or some shit>jewbisoft, my greatest ally, say no more I'll just buy it day one!>don't bother keeping up with the news and get the game once it's out>...>kept playing high on copium 100% convinced the game would actually start after just one more minigameFun party game otherwise.
>>719645903Extreme build autism, LOTS of secrets including some dungeons and a hidden skill tree, the combat feels good especially dashing / dodging which to me almost felt close to a Japanese action game with how paper-thin a margin I dodged a hit by, old fashioned hub worlds instead of open world, looks nice when it isn't overwhelmed by anti-soul fog (there is a lot of this) and most importantly, King Arthur is your nigga
>>719635404>>719636387That's what you get for trusting turks or anything to the south and/or east of greece (throwing sweden and poland in too for good measure)
Exanima is one step away from a scam. The game is WORSE after movement updates and its not worth interacting with at all. It doesn't help their fanbase are all braindead idiots who suck cocks on a daily basis.
>>719640010>desert areaThat shit is so gay in any game. Desert is lazy, gay and oogabooga lame
Why is there no better darkmod, I want a new thief game. No not thi4f.
>>719641464There were 2 games after that, so it should be compared to the latest one.If TES6 comes out, people will be comparing it to Skyrim, not to Daggerfall.
>>719636526Porky in a dress always gets me
>>719646469Stalker SoC is still the most played stalker game...
>>719634031I used to be exited for Borderlands but then they changed the artstyle and tone to the silly cellshaded shit we've got today. I was completely distraught and felt a sense of lingering unrealness when I discovered what they had done.
>>719645840The enemies in Dark Ages are designed and placed around the idea of medieval army formations, I think. That's impression I got and given the theme it seemed pretty intentional. Seemed a bit like the devs were playing a bunch of Total War and wanted to see if they could apply that idea to Doom. The basic zombie and soldier type enemies tend to cluster in big groups to attack you at once while the various main enemies are like their officers and will either be shooting at you from behind them or trying to flank you. The game has some of the craziest and most difficult combat encounters in the series as a result because some of these enemy compositions and arrangements are brutal.And yes, you can skip the cutscenes. It makes no difference either way, the story and lore is still incomprehensible nonsense that acts like you are supposed to know or care about these characters. Definitely still a huge gripe unfortunately, it was the only thing I personally disliked about the game and it is definitely just as bad as Eternal.
>>719638120>>719636997What is it with Bethesda games and Bioware games and always having SHORT character models. The proportions are always fucked up. They have short legs. It makes the females look repulsive, and the males look pathetic. Whenever I play one of their games it's like I'm in a special ed larp simulator
>>719635404Butterlord and Battletech the tactics game
Killing Floor 3... its still an alpha and they do not deploy bug fixes instantly, theres currently a bug that happens on the boss wave that wipes all of your progress. How can helldivers deploy bugfixes fast but kf3 just can't?
>>719646608apparently they toned down on the cringe reddit humor and made it a bit more serious in BL4. I'll wait for reviews before believing it though
>>719646608Are you retarded it was always cell shaded and retarded
>>719646798I'm guessing he means early versions of the first game before it came out. Old trailers and footage did have a different style and tone.
>>719646756No chance of that. The franchise is just inherently insufferable because Randy and the people who write it are dogshit in human form.
>>719646798Fuck you gay ass nigga
>>719646023>turn it intoi don't think it was ever anything else.the devs just lied by omission about the genre.>>719646063>watch some early gameplay to get a gist of what is it about>vampire cowboysounds cool, i'll give it a shot>>719646210>old fashioned hub worlds instead of open worldthank you jesus.sounds like a lot of fun
>>719645682I was interested in this from the announcment trailer, but it died to me the instant they took the Epic store bribe and I never gave it a second look. I am gladdened and unsurprised to hear that they basically just made a shitty Remnant clone.
>>719643437it's skyrim/fallout in space, yeswithout any of the dungeons, unique npcs, or roleplayingwhich are the only reason anyone even likes fallout/elder scrolls because god knows everything else about them is pure shit
>>719647007>that lineup of games to be played for the first timeFuck bring me back
>>719640017They had footage of gameplay with the sharks before they switched engines iirc. Doubt it was anything sophisticated at that point though. Idk if they EVER had any other type of monster though. I can't even recall some kind of art showing other monsters.
uh-huh, sure thing buddy
>>719634031Back then when it was annouced i did not immediatly associate "spiritual successor made by the creators of x" with "pure shit", so i actually was hyped for this.
>>719647417same, got scammed by that kickstarter too
>>719646641both studios are notorious for having really bad modelers and animatorssome of the animations in skyrim legitimately look like they were someone's first ever animation, like the bow-legged table sitting animation.it's insane it ever passed ANY amount of quality control.
>>719647371You will eat ze lantern bugs
>>719647371people getting paid to have an opinion should be killed
>>719645530Fair enough then. I have actually wanted the same. I've also said as much in every survey the company has ever sent me kek. But in fairness, 3 is a pretty good game. Two separate campaigns, one for the Germans in North Africa that is mission based and one for the Allies in Italy that is more like a properly fleshed out version of the DoW Dark Crusade/Soulstorm conquest maps. And the gameplay feels a lot closer to 1 than 2. I enjoyed it. They've since unfortunately gone the route of drowning it in microtransaction skins and doctrines for the multiplayer again just like 2 though.
>>719647009Fun fact one of the sisters from Charmed appears in the game as a love interest. That was well before she went full wacko too.
FF12 was my biggest vidya disappointment. I was a diehard ff fag as a kid and skipped trick or treating to play it on launch and ended up hating it. Last time I ever bought a steelbookKCD2 I was excited for but ended up not even pirating that pozzed piece of shitHades 2 I theoretically should've been excited for but it was pozzed immediately. yeah 1 has it's problems too but it could at least be somewhat ignoredFF7 remake actually was similar to my experience with ff12. I borrowed my friends ps4 to play it on launch and never made it past the first 4 or 5 hours. it took me until a week before rebirth launched to force myself to finish it, but I ended up loving rebirth a lot (remake is still shit)
>>719647271>Epic store bribegood lord, i forgot about that too.what a fucking shitshow
>>719636202I liked it. I hope we get a Xenoclash 3 though.
>>719634031Everhood is one of my favorite games, so was very hyped for its sequel. I literally never bought a game on day 1 release before in my life, Everhood 2 was the first time i ever did it, and my interest in it dive dropped as soon i realized that the game had generic enemy fights, unlike the first game where every fight was unique. I decided to force myself to finish it, hoping that the story or music would make up for it, but no, most of the songs where mediocre and forgetable, and the story was a hate letter to the fans with the ending being some shitty "nothing matters lol' ending and sending you back before the last boss. I will never buy a game on day 1 ever again.
Getting rid of Raiden for some fag with mommy issues has to be one of the worst betrayals in gaming history.
>>719648046What did you expect from a furshit game?
>>719634031dark and darker, whateva happened there
>>719648242God if they just made it pve coop it would have been great
>>719637114What happened to the bus after the game flopped?Also for me it was Company of Heroes 2, I remember pre-ordering the most expensive version on Steam and also convincing a friend to do the same. We were so disappointed at how inferior the game was compared to the first one and it also ran like shit on my PC at the time (less than 10fps on larger conflicts)
>>719640901>relentless shilledi don't even know what kind of game it is and i post on /v/ every day.
>>719648242Got spooked by Nexon for stealing material on company time. May or may not be making a comeback.
>>719634031Silksong
>>719648139Interesting bait attempt
>>719634031Anyone remember "Days of War"? Was supposed to be a modern Day of Defeat arcade shooter, turned out to a complete fucking piece of shit that was instantly forgotten.
>>719648139>>719648689Not wrong, suddenly playing Snake but he has a beard is dumb, should have just been a new character.
>>719646238Stfu you pasty limp wristed faggot.
>>719635404my friend bought it for me as a birthday present at full price ... 5 years ago, wait really it was only 5 years since release? To me it feels like 10. It is still the exact same piece of shit game, I have no idea what those million patches did.
>>719634031Super Smash Bros Ultimate>only Nintendo console I ever had was a N64>tons of fun with Super Smash Bros>try out Melee and Brawl from friends>blown away by the evolution of single-player modes and new characters>mom buys a Switch for us at Christmas>"Finally, I can play a modern Smash Bros!">it's only bigger than 64>worse movement, knockback, stages, etc.>excellent single-player content from the first three games has been replaced with spirit challenge battlesIt's fun to play occasionally with family and friends, but Ultimate is one of the most soulless games I have ever played. Not as bad as watching older kids play Smash 4 at school, but it wasn't superb like the others.
>>719642997>>719643352>UE cock carousel where the engines just worked.Like UE4? Why not just use it instead?
turns out the devs didn't understand why people enjoyed the first game and are continuing to shit the bed on development of the second
>>719644563Gameplay-wise it's okay, some new things here, so it's kinda like first one.But SOUL is damaged. Goo balls have wrong eye proportions, and most music tracks are shittified remixes of original music. Main theme is great, sure, but everything else took a great nosedive.t. another anon
>>719645682i bought it recently and was addicted to it for a solid 30 or so hours. the "campaign" is getting strong enough so you can go kill the witch which you cant actually do yet
>>719649386I can't quite explain why this just doesn't capture me like the first one. Well the first one looks way better imho.
>>719649386>devs didn't understand why people enjoyed the first gameqrd me on synthetic 1 and 2I remember enjoying the demo for 1 i think?
>>719641068>I could have gotten a 64DD??????????Not that Spore is good, but what good would a 64DD. Especially since N64 CDs can be played through a flashcart now.
>>719634031just a little longer bros...trust the plan!
>>719649518Least a 64DD, useless as it is for anything besides F-Zero X, is worth a fortune nowadays.
>>719634031FFT remake, I was so pumped I played FFT GBA and DS. Now I dont care. Those handhelds are absolute quantity over quality.
>>719649639They turned that into a terrible DLC for Dying Light a long time ago kek
>>719646616That sounds pretty cool, I'm happy to hear it has some challenging but still designed encounters that aren't just enemy spam. Most /v/ webms I have seen seemed very disingenuous in their presentation. Speaking of difficulty, a quick tangent: while I appreciate the difficulty sliders at the same time I'd rather have them not exist and have a single heavily curated experience instead. Have the sliders be a post game mode or something. Anyways thanks for the info. Now we wait for the -90% sale of crack.
>>719635404Yea...>>719634448I still have hope. If they fumbled this though.>>719636036Bro
>>719649684>worth a fortune nowadaysyou would have accidentally spÃllt chocojuice on it as a kid and broken it so much it wouldnt be worth anything today
>>719640863Every single game that takes an EGS exclusivity deal is doomed to be a disaster, happens every time. The only exception seems to be if the game is still in EA for the exclusivity period and makes its way onto steam before it actually launches.
>>719649386Many such cases. The whole this thread even.
>>719649914Even broken 64DDs go for like $1k or more if you time it right.
>>719634448>Current From Software cannot deliver a good product anymoreFTFY
UT3it was the last time i updated the pc for a single game
>>719649386Advanced Wars wins my shittiest sequel award. At least Bannerlord 2 was painfully meh.
>>719648212He's a furry
>>719645682I bought this when it first launched into early access on Steam, played all the content it had to offer, enjoyed it a lot and will now proceed to not touch it again until its out of early access.
Waited almost 30 years for a remake of Final Fantasy 7 but between the changes to the story, characters, atmosphere, tone, gameplay, the various modern design choices and abysmal pacing I hated every second of it and never finished it.
>>719648851Supposedly coming out this year, lol
>>719650612i just learned to play it like a sequel. thats how i understand it at least
>>719645345>elite generalist infantry rules>stupid shit like that us ability that unleashes hordes of ai-controlled cannon fodder>very heavy focus on light armor, which should've been fine, but then they brought back the heavies anyway>lackluster MGs>too many insane modifiers like cost reductionsand the worst of them all>africa/italy as the setting>no italian factioni'm quite happy to see them struggle and being forced to reuse coh2 assets for their "new" content.
>>719636036Only discord trannies say that DD2 is bad
>>719650880No, people that played it mostly do. It's a pretty easy conclusion to draw just from the cover art displaying,>an armour set that's not in the game>a sword without a shield>two literal who NPCs in the background which are completely inconsequential to anything in the storyline
>>719645390I bought this and then a bunch of life shit happened and I never played it; I want to give it a proper try now.What's a fun style to play? Is archery viable or just kind of whatever? I like being zippy and pelting dudes--is that possible? How's the magic as well? Is a pure mage viable or is it absolute fucking misery like trying to be one in Skyrim?
>>719651083You're replying to a bot, anon.
>>719649502One issue I think is something that will never be addressed - the 3D perspective and camera. While it's subtle, it means that due to the locked bird's eye perspective, the feeling of aiming changes from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen, which goes against the extremely fast paced gameplay in the hardest modes and late levels, especially when you are trying to land headshots. Aiming is very quick and precise in the first game because you only have to think in 2D, despite the faux-3D aesthetic.Another main issue is class design, weapons, etc were completely changed when the original game already had balance issues but was still good despite its flaws. They should have focused on porting 1's gameplay over to the new engine in its entirety and fixing bugs instead of changing everything else while introducing new bugs, after that was sorted, then start thinking about adding the new features.>>719649510The first game starts out on the surface looking like a typical top-down shooter, but quickly becomes fairly deep and complex once you start learning how all of the stats, weapon spawn types, and items work, and how that all interacts with the skills and passives of your chosen class. IMO the main appeal is how fast it is to hop into a fresh game, gear up your character, try to tip RNG into your favor, and how quickly the game's difficulty ramps up.The second turns all that upside down by having a messier aesthetic making targets harder to see, very strange class design (none of the original classes were in the last time I played), weapons that would be fun to use on paper if ammo for them wasn't so limited, and all of the other aforementioned issues above.
>>719651198At this point most of this board is, what's a man to do.
>>719649684Oh ok fair enough, I didn't realize.
>>719651367>sell lifetime subscriptions before the game even releasesShould've made a good game first, Bill Roper.
>>719634031I like the board game, I like the aesthetics, I like CoH. Seemed like a no-brainer.I regret every single bolandollarino spent on this shit.Turns out that they're developing DoW4 now so I'm not buying it unless it's like 10 USD.
Militsioner put out a demo/playest recently, and it was genuinely just too fucking gay. A central mechanic of the game is an emotion system and you have to manage the emotions of the giant by giving him gifts or complimenting his looks.
>>719647943This game looked so cool and then it was so dogshit on release. Had fun playing it with friends but I think we were the only four people on the planet that played it.
Prototype 2
>>719652703Oh yeah that happened.And the worst part is that Mercer as the antagonist wasn't a bad idea, they just fucked up the execution. Also combat and the tools given to the player weren't as fun as in 1.
I haent been excited about a game in like 20 years.
>>719652230this game a was a disappointment gameplay wise and the thing ran like absolute garbage when i previewed
>>719653084The games I liked the most are the ones I had no hype for.
>>719651650Yeah, this game was not good. It was like a terrible mod for CoH1 and they didn't even bother to design most of the maps to accommodate their huge mech and vehicle units. They constantly get stuck, have major pathing issues, or can't fit through narrow paths made only for infantry (in a game not about infantry). It also just has a thick layer of jank all over it. I tried so hard to like it, and the campaign story sort of interested me, but I ultimately couldn't stand it long enough to finish.
>>719653467Not that bad but at the same time I kinda knew what I should've expected from a le deep cartoon 2d indieshit game. (nothing)
>>719653467didn't even know they made a sequel
>>719650880This>>719651083Dilate tranny
>>719646649I liked Battletech but I only fucked around in the freeform career mode. What was wrong with it?
>>719642765Name of this cunt?
>>719651198>Noooo don't expose my discord raid!Lmao you lost (and you'll never be a woman)
>>719653920>my discord raidcare to post the channel so I can confirm that's the same anti DD 2 I'm visiting
>>719653913It's Grummz
>>719635404Multiplayer was really fun though, at least for the first month after the release before it died.
>>719647450I will never forget how I made my friend get scammed while I didnt buy it.
>>719653467I remember being allowed to get this game as a kid because of it's educational value.>uhmm you have to be 18 to post on this websiteI was 10 then, 21 now.
>>719654119Wait THAT grummz? The polfag darling? lol
>>719654409*Talking about the original game obviously
>>719654423Yes. Mark Kern.
>>719654423Yep, that faggot, I've hated him long before he became a twitter grifter because of his involvement on Firefall.
>>719654058You aren't fooling anyone
>>719647943The way the first trailer showed the game made it look interesting and fun.Then changes were made and the second trailer revealed that all fun and personality had been removed.
>>719654735bot post
They had all the right stuff lined up and yet they still fumbled and made some uncanny shallow mess
>>719638374>he nemesis system butcheredHow? It seemed expanded on to me.
>300+ posts>No Elden RingAlthough in hindsight I don't know why I was excited for more rollsop
>>719634031MGSVAssassin's Creed Japan. I know, it's asscreed, but I just wanted to run around as a ninja stabbing samurai. Christ I did not expect what they revealed.
>>719654940The shill campaign this game had was so obvious.
>>719652230It's a bit funny how they kinda got screwed over by getting a ton of attention.It was a modest kickstarter game until Gearbox got involved, a misleading trailer was shown at E3, and all of a sudden everyone seemingly thought that this was gonna be the next Bioshock.But it was still this modest game from a kickstarter, money from Gearbox didn't change much about that. So everyone was disappointed by the lackluster gameplay.It wasn't a good game, but the disappointment wouldn't have been anywhere as bad if they'd just kept being indie devs.
>>719654854Stat mad, tranny
>>719643280warhammer mod and multiplayer saves this game
>>719654932Sounds to me anon played only on easy mode and did not enjoyed it in its fullest.
>>719654940we call it elden slop for a reason
>>719635404Only good thing this game did was add the Celts.
>>719655307Play in easy mode? Who would do that besides reviewers?
>>719642414Every detail is so intricately modeled that you can only see 20x20 rooms and air vents 90% of the game.
>>719653467this was good brah. this was good
>>719655418Lazy people. This is why it's important to campaign against the dumbing down of games, to force their butts into becoming real gamers.
>>719653467>trusting Ubisoft in current yearIt was your fault for taking that gamble.
>>719651930Modders will fix it
>>719645259cheaters, dupers and macroers ruined it, everyone being a fucking gay ass ''merc'' clan so however had more gold just brought the biggest zergI was even part of a guild who fucking cheated against the other big one that also cheated as well, great concept, fucking terrible execution
>>719636513Bro I'm still going to buy the extra special edition just to convince others to bid up the WoD IP. It's legit good IP, just needs someone that's not afraid of some edge, and that's obviously not Paradox or Chink Clink.Not gonna preorder though because 10ish years of preorder hype has got to be some kind of record.
>>719651930The fuck? That is totally not what the initial premise made me think, did they change direction recently or something?
>>719634031Not really a game but the idea of a Japanese focused Assassin's Creed. It was a slow disappointment with a critical blow finale.
>>719654940People really like Dark Souls, and Elden Ring is Dark Souls with everything turned up to 11. Most people were happy.The only ones that weren't are those that hated Dark Souls, or those that played 2000 hours of it and burnt themselves out on the genre forevermore.
>>719637114oh god I miss it so much.
>>719654940Kek empty is right. ER was so fucking boring.
>>719654940I'm playing it for the first time this year. Played all prior souls titles except DSIII. I think Elden Ring is pretty great. I can see how the open world part feels empty at times. My biggest criticism is the enemy variety is comparatively lower than older titles, or at least seems that way.
>>719656010>People really like Dark Souls. Most people were happy.I can't believe bamco is still paying you shills.
>>719635404you got Holdfast for the online at least
>>719654940I wish FROM would get back to DS1 design of interconnected map instead of this empty open world. Also I hate bosses with stupidly delayed attacks
>>719656139Yes, people were happy. You do not constitute as a person.
>>719636036I upgraded mine for this piece of shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98oJYDRblLIthey fucked us
>>7196562845 cents has been deposited into your bamco account, little shill
Archeage 2
>>719636036I did too and it was worth it. Faggots can't enjoy games these days.
>>719656409>based on 213 ratinsSo you are uploading screenshots from before people actually played the game?
>>719656626Delete this right fucking now
>>719656626>Paid reviews AHAHAHAHAHAHA
System Shock 3, VtMB 2, Ciconia Phase 2. Honestly, I'd prefer if VtMB 2 just got canceled, it looks like shit.
>>719636169Good artist, keeps me empty often.
>>719645164It's good now. But if no russians was your deal breaker, then it's still shit.>>719651650Damn I was gonna try that game. Shame.>>719635237>>719634031Sui Generis is coming out next year bros... Haven't you been reading the blog posts where they say what they've been working on but rarely ever show it?
>>719656354Wasn't this game ruined after some stupid cunt tried to cry rape on Chris Avellone and killed his career only for her to get sued for a couple million? Like didn't they have to rewrite almost EVERYTHING?
>>719635404The sengoku jidai mod for bannerlord is pretty fuckin good.
How the FUCK has nobody brought Scorn up yet?
>>719657273That's certainly part of it, but that implies his writing or story were ever going to be good and they sure as shit wouldn't have been. It's also just a bad game because they ruined the gameplay and mechanics from the first one for no reason. Combat is worse, parkour is worse, the map is worse, the mission design is worse, night time isn't scary or more dangerous, etc.
>>719657414I'm only bringing up games that are in EA or haven't been released yet.
>>719656224I would assume Dark Souls 4 would have to get back to that, if Elden Ring is going to be its own franchise the two need to differentiate themselves somehow.
Daemon X Machina 2I wanted more of Monster Hunter style quest-based game with mechs against even larger mechs. Instead it's Ironman open world RPG where you mine for rocks and grind RNG loot from rats.
>>719641639vgs vgs vgs vgta vgtg vgh vgq vgn vgy vgo
>>719644968This one. It would have to be a generationally defining 100000/10 game for me to give a shit anymore.
>>719654779>>719652605EA focus-tested the fun out of the game, and it turned into a CoD-style realistic looking shooter with no personality.
>>719654940This
>>719657571The demo was already a lot more fun than the first game, that shit was actual garbage. Still probably a 5/10 at best though, the graphics are ass and it runs horribly.
>>719644968>>719657701Honestly It could literally just be more HL2 or HL1 and I'd be cool with that. I just like simple shooter games in the source/source 2 engine
Fucking STONESHARD >neat dungeon crawler>simple injury system that applies to both enemy and player>map is compact >all stats are distinct >you can build characters however you want BUT WAIT>lets make it open world!>also those dungeons that are the main content?>they only respawn every 2 weeks!>but don't worry you can.... uh explore the big empty map :)>and find camps!>also we don't like how you played so you need to find unlock specific skills to unlock further ones!>and you also have to have specific stats to unlock those skills!I would donate 10K to korea if it meant these devs were forced into a gulag
>>719635750That game is just an amalgamation of the most retarded mechanics in video games. I don't know what anyone would see in it after actually playing it.
>>719654884Nah Palworld is good
>>719635404>10 years of development>Was somehow still in Early Access>None of the perks workedI'll never understand it.
>>719647371>I enjoyed the first one despite some glaring issues. They all my complaints with the 2.0 update>They're putting all those lessons in the sequelUnironically hyped for this.
>>719657709Funny how today it would go in the exact opposite direction. Somebody would try to make a serious game with a grounded atmosphere and it would get focused tested into being a cartoony disaster where the characters are all trying to out quirk each other and dropping quips non stop.
>>719657874Artstyl and the actual fluidity of combat, as well as the map design being properly interconnected hand crafted layouts.The ideas and their execution are indeed retarded, but the game does a great job at being pretty damn cool visually. Shame about the shit devs and it being DOA because they killed all the momentum with their endless delays.
>>719657973Lol no they aren't.>Took the Timmybribe after their twitter unironic chud meltiesThey definitely aren't.
>>719636538As someone who's played every mainline Final Fantasy game and who was excited for this one, I'm not going to lie, this one was a slog to get through. The combat feels really underbaked, especially the sections where you play as Ifrit that are just kind of a drag that I think you'd have to try to fail. It has a system where everything is a mission/quest (like think mmo quests) and a solid portion of the main story ones feel like they should have sidequests.
>>719657975You can thank Fortnite BR for making everyone else chase the Dreamworks style.
Gigantic: Rampage Edition
>>719655094Yeah why are kids still attacking it when it’s been cemented in history as the best game ever. Just let it go.
>>719635750Watching the entitled whiner dev throw tantrums and screech about everyone not worshipping his game is far more entertaining than this game actually is. I have a feeling he has done more to put people off ever trying the game than anything else. Peak schadenfreude.
It hurts me to say this, But Risk of Rain 2 fucking sucks and it always has. Even before the DLCs raped the balance.
For me it was ksp2. I enjoyed the first one so much it really feels like betrayal from everyone involved. Even the devs of the first one have responsibility in my opinion.>>719634031Exanima looks so cool, what's wrong with it?>>719634448It was memed so much here that it killed any hype I had. It's their last chance for me.>>719635973I'm still mad about this one. The intro is terrible and kills replayability.
>>719643994Try some racing games. Forza horizon 4 is good. Also emulate the ps3 memes. There are some good games stuck on that shit console
>>719658458Speaking of sequels that sucked ass
>>719658458I love it personally. One of my favorite games to play on the Deck when I don't know what else to play. I always preferred it massively to the first one.
>>719658426Oh he's definitely killed the game. His whole company even, with the latest shit.
>>719658473>Exanima looks so cool, what's wrong with it?Here >>719643306 >>719642751Tbqh with what we have right now, it's a great game for its price. They really should give it a few more bits of window dressing and things to do before working on Sui Generis if they're actually doing that still.
>>719657514I don't think we will ever get Dark Souls 4...
>>719636738Why?
>>719647714>Fun fact one of the sisters from Charmed appears in the game as a love interest. That was well before she went full wacko too.Two of them went full wacko, which one?
>>719654940I finished Nioh 2 just before playing elder ring And holy shit... Its like the chad vs Virgin meme and elder ring is the giga virgin. Such a limp game in a sub par technical state. a few of the dungeon are alright and the boss designs are solid. But everything else feels like a fucking dessert corridor pretending to be an open space. And all you find is junk.
>>719658859Small(er) scale Sandbox survival type games like Rust tend to cover the niche that sandbox mmos used to cover without costing 10X the price and zergrushing FOMO brained retards will absolutely mog any pure sandbox mmo into the ground.
>>719636820Wikipedia says there are community-run servers.
>>719637874It did. Hype was off the charts because very little was shown before release.
>>719658975Sometimes you fags are so delusional I can't even tell when you are trying to bait.
>>719636036>>719656290These plus KCD2 were the holy trinity of sequels to some of my favorite games that I had high hopes for that disappointed me immensely. And they all happened within a year.
>>719636036>upgraded my PCsame, I was so convinced by the shills and being an MH fag that I will like this, even though I didn't even play DD1.Then I played Wilds playtest and was equally disappointed that I didn't even buy the game. Fuck you Capcom, I want my $1000 back
>>719657230>Haven't you been reading the blog posts where they say what they've been working on but rarely ever show it?yes, because they've proven themselves trustworthy
>>719658393And a shill rears it's ugly head
>>719635404>>719649054>>719641167The only way to explain this is that Warband was stolen work from someone else (probably white)Then these turkroaches clamber all over it with their delusional egos from the idea they stole and ruin the entire thing
>>719657701If it's as cool technically and mechanically as Alyx was, I'll be happy.
>>719634031>Solid combat>Action>Boobs and asses>Half the game is just running around an open-world killing pointless enemiesCompletely sucked the wind out of my sails. The pacing and mission system of an open-world works against what makes the game actually fun (action, soundtrack, big bosses). Should've stuck more to a Dark Souls interconnected-world feel, if they had to.
>>719659673Forgot pic cause I'm retarded
Monaco 2. I had a lot of fun with the first. Didn't even play the second because it was so different and the characters looked genuinely awful.
>>719655805lmao this sounds like some mob wars irl
>>719659673>>719659743Garbage game. The embarrassing shill/autist spam for it here always tried to hide how shit the game actually is behind the dumb slutty outfits you can put on your character. Tranny game basically.
I haven't been excited for a video game in a long, long time. But I have been interested in trying some and then they end up being clearly overpriced on release, so I wait only to see more gameplay which is clearly disappointing and lacking and the review scores continue to drop. And when I try the game out it's just the same old boring copypasta shit and stale gameplay that makes me drop the game in less than 30 minutes. Unnecessarily long intro sequences, taking forever to get to anything even mildly interesting, just having to wait to get a single goddamn weapon or basic ability to use... it's all so tiresome. It's a real struggle to find a game worth playing and when you do it sucks that it has to end eventually.
>>719659805Monaco was the perfect Xbox Live game for getting drunk with buddies and trying not to completely botch the heist. Also haven't played the sequel, it looked too different.
>>719636997takes a special kind of retard to get hyped for western trippul ayy games
>>719659965Can't really argue with that. Played 10 hours, dropped it, and haven't been back. Had more fun with third-party action games made 25 years ago like Star Wars Jedi Academy, than with SB.
>>719657973I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that they've learned some lessons, but based on how it took years for them to fix LotF, I'm gonna give it at least a year post-release before I even consider purchasing
>>719648857Proud of /v/ for not falling for this
>>719647371>Epic exclusiveKEK. Thanks for the free game, I guess...
>>719658975don't agree about ER being bad, but Nioh 2 is a fantastic game. If anyone feels a bit daunting to jump into Nioh 2 (because the systems can get pretty complex), Jack's game is a great "Nioh-lite" that'll get you acclimated to that style of gameplay
>>719660635>Jack's gameGlad to see others respecting his strength.
>>719660635unironically the best content SE has put out in years, and it's sadly unlikely we'll get any continuation in the form of a sequel. Glad we got the DLCs at least
>>719660858meant for >>719660742
>>719634031Ratatan, I expected a Patapon clone maybe just with newer graphics and music. But after trying the demo, I really don't care for whatever absolute insanity is going on with this gameplay. Oh well at least I'm enjoying the Patapon 1+2 remake.
>>719657852I think you have anger issues anon its not that bad
>>719642791>UE5 is so not made for that kind of scale.The Unreal team even told people it's not made for open world games yet, the Witcher team had to wait for a new version (I think 5.7?) just for it's open world functionality to be better because it would just shit the bed so hard
Payday 3, then it came out.
I overestimated how autistic i was
>>719634031Elden Ring
>>719634031>Airborne EmpireKingdom had that 'first game' feel but was still a fun little game and I thought a sequel would expand the content and lore further now they have a baseline.The demo is just kingdoms but waves of pirates that have flying machines and a base somehow? will still play it but im not buying
>>719636202completely disagree. clash is a great game with some annoying flaws, but i still recommend it to people all the time.
>>719660992no shame in that anon, dorf fort is only for S-tier schizoid autists
>>719636036>That interview where the dev basically said "BUT IT'S SHIT ON PURPOSE!"
>>719636538this one turned out to be such a fucking slog that i was begging the game to end.omega was great hyped fun though
>>719660992same for me, but with this game
>>719634031a game about examining things?
>>719638621>spoilerunderstandable, have a nice day
>>719661398it's EX-ANIMA, not EX-ANIME
>>719634031i haven't felt hype for any game since pic rel and dungeon siege 3
>>719645390DD2 is a shit game, but really? you liked not-skyrim that much?
Looked like a cool new fps game to sink my teeth into and man they fucked everything up. gunplay was ass, maps were horrible dogshit design. And some annoying bugs that fucked the sounds up on release just killed the game instantly.
>>719661276Reading lore is the most entertaining part of this game.
Posted this months ago in a different thread but The Plucky Squire. I really expected a retvrn to fvrm classic 2D Zelda experience with dungeons and shit but I got a linear storybook "game" made for literal 3 year olds. More handholding than any snoy moviegame out there. There was no adventure, no puzzles, no variety. The 3D parts weren't even fun either. The Supraland/Supraworld games were so much better and those games aren't even really the same genre (kinda same aesthetic though.)
>>719658579DD2 made me realize DD1 and Crimson Court were just a fluke and they are actually fucking awful devsEverything else other than these first 2 that they have made was FUCKING SHIT
>>719651367Didnt this have pretty good private servers though? I mean the game was still a mess but yeah
>>719636538Use this when you do play it:https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy16/mods/13
>>719660635See the thing with jacks game is that its not the game that makes me absolutely livid, but rather everything outside it. Sqeenix treating it like a retarded child that needs to be ignored before the game even released has made me consider pipe bombing their offices.sequel fucking never ever.
>>719648242Someone posted a translated interview with the devs in the game's transcord and it boiled down to the devs saying:>we're happy if the game goes down to 7k playersConcurrent players at the time of that being posted was about 50k-100k.Game had potential but was hamstrung by soulless gooks who balanced the game around what streamers said in their super sekrit invite only transcord.
Bought the original's collector's edition day one, bought worthless merchandising even to support the studio a bit more, spent a long time discussing it on Remedy's own forums, kept believing, hoping, begging, one day the promised sequel would come.It did and it was trash. Still love the original. Control and Max Payne are great too. Quantum Break is shit but at least less shit than this one.
>>719662058Maybe the extraction shooter bubble burst already? I think Tarkov is coming to Steam soon so that might be a litmus test to see if it's true or not. Then again it might be a good one because I hear it's still plagued by a fuckton of cheaters and that will probably fuck over the playerbase immediately after release.
>>719661804They released a challenge mode update to this, I wonder if it fixed the main issues. I was in your same position when this was announced, it looked awesome, but impressions like yours made me not want to try it.
>>719657852Russians have this really weird scam culture where they must continue keeping up appearance of them still working on their scams.
>>719661939>Enemy health remains untouchedI would have lowered most of them 25% at the least so it doesn't feel like you're smacking training dummies half of the game.
>>719662391There are other mods that let you customize everything yourself, but I went with this one because it just makes enemies behave and hit like FF Mode enemies, seems better for a first playthrough than fully customizing every parameter without knowing what I'm doing.
>>719634031Bro I've been "excited" for so many indie games and they never came out. I don't care anymore
>>719662260>Maybe the extraction shooter bubble burst already?Nah. It was purely about the pvp for a lot of people with the extraction/loot as a secondary. Essentially a first person pre Trammel Ultima Online.>it's still plagued by a fuckton of cheatersCould be said for any multiplayer game nowadays. Dark and Darker did have its fair share of wallhackers and aimbotters, but at least you could still take some of them out through skill..
Never EVER
>>719656354They're still patching this turd.
