@jdincinerator I thought the campaign was actually super enjoyable and Kamala is incredibly endearing.
I'm getting into the post game stuff more now and haven't really ran into any truly egregious issues. I find the combat to actually be a very strong point of the game, especially for brawlers like Cap and Hulk where it feels almost like a fighting game.
@jdincinerator As somebody who actually plays the game, the only thing I've been unsatisfied is the slow content drip, but they just released a pretty big event and the Wakanda expansion will be coming next month. I'm hoping Spidey will be released by the end of the year for some No Way Home cross promotion.
@dipset Bro I was like that with Buzz! Quiz TV.
Legit there hasn't been a quiz game since that comes even remotely close to that baller ass game. I pray every day for a reboot. Hell, I'm pretty certain Knowledge is Power was originally supposed to be one, considering the host is the same voice actor.
Submitted my list. Holy fuuuuck I needed to make some tough choices.
Every game on my list is some GOTY best in class type shit.
After reviewing the games released that year, holy shit 2008 was an absolute banger of a year.
I'm actually having a really hard time thinking about what to get rid of. Some of my favorite games ever came out in 2008!
I was listening to Kyle's E3 video and he raised a good point about the Dread trailer being unremarkable.
That robot could be from anywhere. It is incredibly generic and I have a hard time wrapping my head around taking it as a threat when Samus has killed bigbois like Ridley and Kraid many times.
If this trailer didn't have Samus and it was called something completely different, nobody would care. The Metroidvania genre has moved on and surpassed it's predecessors, and releasing something that might have looked good, say, an entire decade ago for full price just ain't a good look daddy.
I think it should be a given that these threads include a list of games released that year as I am way too lazy to look that up myself.
@yoshi said in Metroid Dread thread:
cool. remind me to bitch and moan every single time other developers release a game then.
I'm sure you'll remember without being reminded.
Going off MBun's argument that people were expecting a Ratchet & Clank situation... nah bruh, I'm just expecting the game to look as good or better than it's contemporaries for the price they are charging for it, not like an early PS3 game.
Like I've already said, I'll definitely be playing, and will most likely enjoy myself greatly, I'm just disappointed that more work isn't being out into a franchise I adore given the fact that they are charging full price for it, but then again, this is Nintendo we're talking about and I'm clearly naive to expect more on the first place.
@yoshi If that is how you want to excuse the low effort put into the game, sure.
@jamicov A fellow Avengers player!
Yeah I thought the game was a fun little adventure and Kamala Khan is one of the most endearing protags ever.
Hoping the Black Panther expansion brings some people back.
@miserableperson Yeah. I feel that unless you are invested in the series, this isn't going to blow many people away.
I've come to expect a bare minimum from Nintendo these days with most of their franchises, so that when they fail to impress I'm not too disappointed, or when they actually do impress I'm pleasantly surprised.
Being a diehard Metroid fan I fall into that category and I'm just happy to get an official continuation to the story after so long, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disappointed with what they are offering for the price they are offering it for.
I've watched the trailer a bunch to figure out what it is that makes the game look so bad to be and I think it's the lighting. The game clearly has a lot of reflective surfaces, but it isn't reflecting anything properly. Surfaces get blown out with light when they shouldn't, which makes everything look flat.
Hopefully something they can fix before release, but not a huge deal if they don't. Still just excited for anything Metroid.
My list btw.
The Last of Us Part 2
Streets of Rage 4
Black Mesa
Demon's Souls
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Carrion
Marvel's Avengers
Genshin Impact
I won't say much about TLOU2 since I've already said pages worth on the forum.
Absolutely incredible game. My only problem is the buttfuck abysmal pacing near the middle where it grinds to an absolute halt for like a solid hour. I also think that the story should have been told linearly, as that would have helped the gamerdudes sympathize with certain characters and their actions better (which are totally and completely justified if you have basic human empathy), but hey who the fuck cares about them right?
Wouldn't it be kind of pointless to have a Top Pixar Movie countdown when Inside Out is objectively their best work?
There is an expansion for the original Half-Life called Blue Shift.
Valve released a package of games called The Orange Box.
Half-Life 3 confirmed.
@dario Stop.
I refuse to let you ruin this for me.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN, GUYS? LETS FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER!
I love this type of shit.
Even if it proves to be a big nothingburger, I always love when wild shit like this crops up in the industry. It's just so fun.
Haven't played Will of the Wisps yet but I loooove Blind Forest and this is def on my list of games to get in the future. The marriage of precise platforming and absolutely stunning art direction just make this series sum transcendental shit, yo.
My only fear for Hellblade 2 is that Microsoft is going to try to turn it into their God of War, which I don't think would work for such a personal tale like Senua's.
