I can understand what you’re saying with none of them needing sequels. Invaded that definition yeah sure none of them need them. But I would very much want a sequel to bastion and transistor. And if that puts me in the minority as far as that’s concerned I’m okay with that. I’m not going to boycott their team because they don’t make a sequel by any means.
They’re obviously a developer that I would be interested in anything new that they put out. But both bastion and transistor were two of my all-time favorites from the indie scene. And I would really and truly love to revisit both of those worlds in a sequel.
And to be honest I had the same feeling when I played Hades. I felt more like I was dependent upon getting certain modifiers and weapons together otherwise I just was not going to make any progress. And I don’t think that’s a critique of the game itself it’s 100% in my abilities to play that sort of game. And from a personal taste standpoint my personal taste go towards bastion and transistor.
Fair. I guess enjoy my clip and maybe watch a let’s play?
Devs, yes. Publishers, not so much.
On the one hand I hate hearing about people losing their jobs. I dislike people not being able to have an opportunity to support themselves. On the other hand any and all trouble for EA makes me happy. I long for the day they have to sell off their studios and their CEO has to try and not be remembered as the guy that killed the golden goose for investor capitol.
It’s time that investors stop looking at video games as a get rich quick opportunity. And trying to turn it into the new cubicle farm. Sandfall and a lot of other smaller devs are proving that a small team of generalists are able to do better work than these huge and bloated monstrosities that EA and its kind have become.
Also they pretty much show with this and several other cancellations that they cannot fathom a business model that doesn’t rely on predator monetization.
I enjoyed that the game seemed to try and make it so that every play style felt equal. Stealth archer didn’t seem like “easy mode”. The visuals while not the peak of fidelity, were very interesting to look at. The world building drew me in quickly, and kept my attention. In the end it succeeded where a demo should, it made me want to get the game.
I played the demo a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised by it.
Doom The Dark Ages, Space Marine 2, CoD: BO6.
This just seems like a more subtle posturing for “games should cost more”. Video game customers are notoriously right with their wallets. The lockdown boom was a fluke, not a new norm.
I’m having a blast with it. It’s a break from the design ethos that was Doom Eternal. So if you’re looking for more Eternal you’ll be disappointed. This one wants you to play significantly more aggressively.
Well I’m almost 40 so not a young thing. I also have a pretty packed work week and it’s not a set schedule. The only difference between us is that gaming is my main hobby. I don’t follow any sportsball, and the only other hobbies are things like TTRPGs and building Legos or Gunpla. And it’s pretty common to judge something based on the contemporaries of what it is. You can like something, and my not liking it doesn’t lessen your enjoyment.
It’s hard to “set your expectations accordingly” when you go from baldur’s gate 3 and Kingdom come Deliverance 2 to this. It makes me wonder what could have been before development was restarted.
I used to listen to them for a good bit a.few.years back.
D:TDA is different from the other Doom games. It has a lot of different mechanics.
It really is. I remember the music of Doom 2016 and Eternal being something I wanted to listen to even after I stopped playing. The music of D:TDA just…I can’t remember once I turn the game off.
I’m actually enjoying it a lot. The “you dropped everything when you died” thing is getting annoying though.
That is. Because you stopped owning your games a while back. What you’re actually buying is a limited access license to the software.
Cult of the Lamb.
Just for a bit of clarification I’m not talking about forcing them to do anything This is simply from a consumer standpoint, my wish I guess.
