WROEF is the first and only emotional walking simulator I ever enjoyed and finished. I know that there are a million more, but they get as repetitive as Ubisoft games and don't even get me started on all of those 5 hour long horror games. Those developers went to the Harvard class for copy and pasting.
Can't someone give a decent budget to these people?
@Blackjay I love the DE games more than I will love my second born child, but they never sell well. No big studio even if it's staffed by people who love complex gameplay will ever try to make something similar. And let's not forget that even GOTG was a financial disappointment. I have 0 idea why Bioware hired a writer that has worked on failed games. Maybe they don't care anymore.
@SplooshDmg I disagree completely. The story in GOTG is painfully childish, cliched and contrived. And the worst part is that the movies and the Telltale game did the exact same thing. That guy is not great and he brought nothing new or interesting. I have no idea why you want him leading a franchise like Mass Effect which during it's peak was better and had a more serious tone than 99% of other games.
@middyone It's just as ***** as Ubisoft and Elden Ring already completely dominated. It outsold COD. HFW is being given away with PS5. Now that's facts
@ScepticDK Most people don't care about VR because it's still not ready and big studios are not producing content for it. It's not worth the time of day. Maybe you have low standards and are willing to enjoy everything.
@thefourfoldroot1 And you called flat games rubbish while stating that you live in the future. You are actually living in a mini fad that will stop receiving support after about 2 years unless Sony releases PC drivers for the device.
@thefourfoldroot1 You should only speak for yourself as well. For many people VR is 'rubbish'. Whenever it finally becomes worthwhile it will probably not resemble any of the current headsets.
@thefourfoldroot1 Not really. if by next gen you mean that AAA games will all have VR modes then you will be veery disappointed by the end of the PS5's lifespan.
@Ravix
The scope and production value of Rockstar games compensate for their somewhat formulaic game design. They are the only people who do the term 'open world' justice.
Wither 3's story and world were created with the help of one of the most successful fantasy book series ever.
Ubisoft created a wonderful formula with games like AC3 and FC3, but immediately afterwards they got rid of their writers and just started producing the same thing over and over again. Without the great world of the Witcher and with only a fraction of the talent of Rockstar their games are the McDonalds of gaming. Even if you enjoyed AC Origins for example did you really enjoy the light and contrived story, goofy characters, obnoxious UI, grindy leveling system and that brain dead turn on Batman Vision and follow the map markers quest design?
Nowadays I can only stomach playing games like GOW Ragnarok. Anything less seems like a genuine waste of time and brain cells.
@naruball If they increased the price of the bundle they would be basically increasing the price of the console itself and every youtuber would have made a video about it calling Sony worse than that Austrian.
I don't know why so many people want to simp for HFW. It's just another Ubisoft game. People chose Elden Ring over it and Sony is trying to bolster it's number by giving it away for free. The doesn't mean that it was a failure. Just look at the facts and be reasonable.
Sony is yet again screwing over their most loyal fans. Imagine how pissed you would be if you bought their exclusives for 70 bucks and only a year and a half later someone else can buy them for 50% off. The day of reckoning is coming..
@naruball Cutscenes are getting longer and longer while gameplay gets simpler and simpler. It's just a hunch, but I seriously doubt that overworked game devs will ever push for less reliance on cutscenes.
This type of accessibility seems nice, but it's actually bad for gaming in the long term, imo. For the past decade or so almost every big studio relies heavily on cutscenes for pretty much everything and I expect that this trend will only get worse.
I imagine that after another decade gaming will look like the MGS pachinko machines: pretty cutscenes, one button gameplay and loots of monetization.
@BoldAndBrash Just like the people who developed Horizon were not Ubisoft. Just like the people who developed Shadow of war were not Ubisoft. Just like the people who developed Dying light were not ubisoft. It's all the same crap.

Re: Gotham Knights Has the Largest Open World Gotham City of Any Batman Game
@BoldAndBrash It's actually the studio behind Origins so keep your expectations low and y.. actually the game will be mediocre no matter what.
And the Harry Potter game will definitely be targeting children so it's probably not made for us.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Dev Praises PS5 for Game's 'Breakneck Pace' with No Loading Screens
It's all promo talk. It will load just as fast on a PC and only a second slower on an XBOX if that port even gets made.
