@Jaz007 I think it's because it's largely due to the fact that they go through all this effort to make you identify with the self insert character like Joker, but they then just straight up give him a personality and an actual voice in every other multimedia thing surrounding the game, including a canon name in stuff like the anime adaptation and even games like Dancing in Starlight.
Like at that point, why not just make him someone like Cloud who has a defined personality and voice as well as a compelling character arc that lets him stand on his own next to other party members
@TheFrenchiestFry What are they supposed to do with the anime? I mean, they don’t have a choice. They can’t let you put in a custom name then. The only other option is just cancel it for the sake of the game maintaining purity of self-inserting into the character. The 120+ hour game is more than the main focus and if it works there, I don’t see what the issue is.
@Arugula The most relatable characters usually turn up in indie games to be honest, Madeline from Celeste, Mae from Night in the Woods and Alex from Oxenfree feel more human than 99.9% of the bland characters you get in AAA games. I feel that because AAA games have to appeal to a wide variety of people, they just shove you into the role of Gunz McShootyface and call it a day.
I don't like Horizon Zero Dawn.
Spider-man should have been GOTY with GOW
Gamepass is overrated.
PS4 exclusives should come on PC.
Uncharted 2 to 4 are perfect stories with super fun gameplay and 4 even had relatability.
COD,FIFA,HALO are far from fun even factions is better.
Assasin's Creed is a really bad franchise.
We need a AAA detective game which require us to use brains more and less guns.
Almost all game critics are corrupt.
Multiplayers are mostly toxic.
Gameplay and graphics balance is more important than frame rates with everything washed out.
I can agree on RDR 2 being self indulgent, especially when it gives you a large open world but it still wants you to do objectives in very specific ways which takes away from player choice and freedom, but Order 1886 was literally just a movie with QTE sequences to me. I'd barely call it a game at all.
@TheFrenchiestFry Haha. I'm aware. In fact, the last time I played it, a couple of friends were over and we just turned it into a movie night where I played it to completion. But there's something about it, I don't know, the vibe, the script, the visuals, the score. I love it. There are better games (some would say almost every other game is better), but The Order has been the most memorable for me.
As for RDR2, I couldn't even complete it, I ended up trading it back in. Looks nice and has little flourishes with its details, but... didn't keep my attention.
I guess this is unpopular but Uncharted 4 is the best game in the series imo. Some people seem to prefer 2 but 4 has more solid gameplay, a more grounded story and doesn’t have bloody bullet-sponge supernatural monsters. It has its faults but so much of it is improved from the older games.
@TheFrenchiestFry In terms of home consoles, it’s still got my favourite games. I’d say Wii was the best though since it plays Cube games too. I’d say 3DS is my favourite Nintendo console/handheld due to having an insane library and incredibly comfortable controls. Loads of people hate on the GameCube but just a look at its library shows how many brilliant games there were.
@Kidfried Honestly even the PS4 couldn't really escape the drought issue for at least a year. I didn't get one until Bloodborne was around the corner and before that the only game that really piqued my interest was Persona 5 but there were very few exclusives on that console for a while that just didn't interest me.
@Kidfried It's definitely my favorite console of the generation although the Switch is in a very close second. They still have yet to top PS2 though imo.
@Kidfried Which of the Yakuza games have you played so far? I agree that the combat is pretty limited but at least Zero gave you multiple styles. Y4 mixes it up the most with the four protagonists all having their own styles.
Games aren't as expensive as they could (should?) be and we are all spoilt children for complaining about the reported rise of PS5 games. Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive cost £44.99. In 1992. Streets of Rage £44.99, Ecco the Dolphin £39.99 etc etc. These are all for 3 hour experiences, too. We have been so lucky that game prices have spent three decades not rising for inflation.
A game you spend £100 on is worth it if you only 20 hours on it.
@BowTiesAreCool Hard disagree. Games are luxuries, not commodities. Commodities rise in price due to inflation at a different rate from luxuries. So we’ve seen increases in the price of bread and milk over the last 30 years. However, luxuries are priced accordingly with the economic health at the time, which is why these ‘adjusted for inflation’ calculations are absolutely pointless. Think about it, when inflation and living costs rise, the demand for luxuries decreases as they are optional purchases. Therefore, they have no choice but to make them cheaper. There’s also the fact that cartridges were a whole lot more expensive to produce than discs are, and now digital downloads have virtually zero overheads. With the world careening into the canyon of economic downturn once again, next-gen games are increasing in price at the absolute worst time and all we’ll see are heavy sales and second-hand purchases as purses tighten. Plus the absolute gall of equating $70 with £70. They aren’t even close to the same price but we’re stuck with a much heavier price increase. $70 would be £53 roughly, which is what we already pay. £70 is roughly $91, which plainly isn’t fair. If the price increase was priced accordingly across currencies, there honestly wouldn’t even be a problem.
@nessisonett not sure what it's like in America (? just guessing with the dollar sign, apologies if not). So if we're chraged £70 you'd be charged $70?
I get what you mean and it is a luxury, albeit less of one as per the mega increased popularity since, but I'm still paying the same amount of physical money for a game as my mum paid for me thirty years ago.
@Constable_What I'm pretty sure that was the general consensus at launch lmao
It's a fun game with cool gunplay but the content it actually offered was extremely meager considering other looter RPGs like Borderlands or even Bungie's previous games.
