Theres going to be 2 single player expansions for that. It's overpriced to be sure though

I was listening to a podcast and someone who had real experience in combat sports said they really liked the gameplay so maybe it is good if you learn the depths

fallout 4 with a $50 season pass that has exactly one story dlc, lmao. i still contend the fuckery they did with their season pass cost and dlcs was more revolving around some weird attempt to trick people into still paying for mods, but as of yet they're the kings

The first ones that come to mind are Fallout 4, and loving Arkham Knight. I think AK was like 30 or 40 dollars for some race tracks and fight arenas.

By december of last year I could have picked up a copy of Watch Dogs 2 for less than the season pass.

Fallout 4 has two story DLCs. I mean your point still stands, what Bethesda did was scummy as all hell but still.

So Rainbow 6 has a new bug since the big content update that can randomly gently caress up the renderer so that you can join matches and even see icons and your HUD but all you see in the main view is some part of the map off to the side. If you throw a drone, it breaks. If you do anything that should show you a different camera, it just doesn't work. It's happened to me twice and a guy I was playing with once and the only way to fix it is to close and restart the game. Ubi better fix the one game they made that I enjoy.

This could get emotional...


For honor is great, I played in the alpha, closed beta and then open beta and went from not really interested to pre order over that period.

There is a lot of depth to the combat and despite it being p2p connections I've never really seen laggy matches (I'm in the UK).

The dual battles are really intense and if you want something more casual you can jump into the 4v4 battlefield hold the area type modes. People saying it's a moba-like are talking poo poo, there's literally one control point out of three points on a map you have to hold, in one game mode out of 4(?) that involves killing fodder to get your fodder to hold that point.

Its also a weird niche genre and doesn't appeal to a big player base. Its also made by ubisoft, uses uplay, and the matchmaking doesn't work good.

Uplay doesn't apply here, sure, but still. This can turn out to be a full price Titanfall 2 fiasco without a campaign.

What genre is it? The closest thing are Street Fighter type fighting games but they're still very different. It's nothing like Dynasty Warriors.

I'm thrilled to try a new type of game and it should be encouraged. This used to be the norm. It's sad that a whole generation of gamers has experienced nothing but safe sequels and recoils at the sight of something new.

I stand corrected on the campaign part. But yeah, I get burned really bad with Multiplayer only, PVP Type Games and Ubisoft inspires no confidence. At least Uplay is better than Origin I guess?

Edit

This might be a new genre for consoles maybe,but I recently got burned by Chivalry and players exploiting like crazy

Titanfall 2 not only has a campaign, it's one of the best FPS story modes in recent years.

Also a first-year student's buggy php client program project is better than loving Origin, its a very low bar :v:.

I know. This was in regards to For Honor not having one, which I was wrong about.

I got burned on TF2 cause I bought it on PC, which was a mistake

Yeah, on a technical and gameplay level it is very similar to 0.

Surely every Japanese gamer is rocking a PS4 these days. Is it not some form of treason to not own a Sony console


\/\/\/\/ drat I had no idea this was the case! I see so many Japanese PS4 games in Gamestop these days that I just assumed everyone had one over there. If that's the caseI guess it explains why the only new games that the Vita gets seem to be anime games.

The PS4 has picked up momentum there recently but attached-to-a-tv console gaming is still basically dead in Japan, which is one reason JP publishers are increasingly looking at sales in the west. Vita/PS3/PS4 multiplats will phase out eventually but they're an easy way of maximising domestic revenue for smaller publishers.

Actually, from the looks of the announced titles, the small/medium developers are all jumping ship to the Nintendo Switch.

The Wikipedia page for Switch games has several series of games that have generally had PS3/multiplatform versions like Disgaea, Blazblue, even a confirmation for a 'Tales of' game from the developers. Considering the Switch is the cheapest platform to develop for with it's lower specs (assuming it's not a wretched bitch to code for like the WiiU was), it's going to be the easy mark for a lot of developers that can't raise a budget to make something PS4-worthy in terms of graphics with the PS3 and Vita dead and buried now. Especially if it's something with 50+ hours of content like a JRPG, nevermind that Nintendo pulled their heads out of their asses and made the console region-free.

If 'untitled SMT game' ends up being #FE 2 I'll probably get one.

Seems like a lot of hedge betting and ports of stuff that's already out at the moment though.

My worry is that a lot of those studios that have their logos show up with the Switch all the time have only said "well we think it's very interesting" and not much else.
