People call GTA5’s writing juvenile but I appreciate its acidic hatred of everything about American society.

gta5s return to juvenile south park style satire was way way better and more effective than how 4 handled it

hitman 2016 was a sleeper hit because the episode thing made it seem like a lovely cash grab which turned people off until they realised that hitman: ground zeroes is actually a sick idea. then with 2 they got dumped by their publisher and hosed up their marketing

I really want to know how 76 got made. Did Bethesda really misunderstand it's fanbase so badly that they thought people wanted this weird mess? Was it just a lazy cash grab by higher ups? How did they make the most boring possible decision at every step?

the most sane explanation is that its basically a paid test for the multiplayer features in starfield, their future space game that also uses gamebryo lol

i wish all fps games had the gun mechanics of Receiver so you'd accidentally drop your clip on the ground sometimes in a particularly tense firefight

a western game with the reciever gun mechanics would be unironically amazing. hopefully that developer does something with it one day instead of just iterating on their rabbit kungfu murder simulator forever

LA Noire had a backlash at release because they tried to market it as a big action packed open world / cinematic experience to draw in GTA fans but both the action and open world elements suck and are just sort of there because they have to be. its been reassessed because theres a decent adventure game with some still unmatched tech in it and you can skip everything that isn't that

I always have problems trusting gamers claiming any writing it good, since they have a tendency to conflate good with having a lot of text and lasting much much too long

no game should have a script longer than the old man and the sea

on the other hand a lot of short fairly tight games are nonetheless very bad, most aaa shooters notably

whenever someone says stuff like this its because they love playing poo poo like fallout 4

if there was one with like 5-minute matches like splatoon that’d be good

theres a bunch of BR games on steam with variations like short matches and smaller maps and basically everything you think of while running across a field and being shot in the back in pubg and they are all dead already because it turns out that the idea is fundamentally poo poo

EA is at least trying something interesting with their proprietary not-Steam platform with access or whatever they call it, essentially letting you pay a much smaller monthly fee to get access to most or nearly all of their library. $15 a month for 90% of the games on there, including the new battlefield and every game's DLC, is a much better deal than $100 or whatever for each individual game. I have to wonder how the financials work out but at first glance turning digital game platforms into netflix *seems* like a much better consumer option than buying anything. Someone work out the catch for me I don't trust EA

looking at origin access right now i think the catch is that the catalogue is only about 160 games, most of which are probably just old PC games that you could get on gog for nothing if you actually wanted to play them. EA only releases like 10 new games every year now anyway so the main reason to subscribe is just to get your BF and FIFA.

its a shame bethesda are completely lacking any wit or writing ability because the fallout setting is an interesting one when its being a sorta satirical wacky wasteland where people have organised into societies over weird poo poo or cargo culting the past. bethesda are just totally incapable of doing anything with it though, the closest they came was the baseball stadium city in 4 which was like "its a city built from a baseball stadium... no we didn't think of anything to write about it but... it sure is there huh?"
Diamond city was probably the angriest i've ever been at a videogame. a 'city' that's literally 15 people still manages to have a physically stratified class system, where the four people who live in the upper stands speak with new england accents and look down on the other 11.

I feel like the legion would have been more interesting if your introduction to them had been as a great source of resources and support for the player right at the start of the game, with how awful they can be only becoming apparent as you get more involved with them.

Like, the in-universe reason for joining them is largely that they're a source of organization and personal power in a cruel and chaotic world, so if you're a radioactive dirt farmer being picked on by raiders they sound pretty good despite being assholes. But by the time the player is likely to join them they're already on their way to being king shitkicker of the wasteland and so unless you're playing a sadist you have no reason to join them at that point.

yeahh absolutely. this was actually planned originally iirc. there was supposed to be way more legion content including a town and everything on the other side of the dam

i havenever followed chris chan much beyond i guess when he originally showed up on this site and when people post stuff like how he got arrested for macing a gamestop employee. i remember looking at the chrischan wiki and their documentation of all of his shirts and realizing how hosed up that was

does he have any kind of caretaker at this point or is he just being raised by his online gangstalkers now?

the gangstalkers are his main source of financial support via patreon and selling medallions on ebay
