Fishing in Torchlight. It’s a fast ring qte - or you can throw dynamite in the whole and get all the fish instantly.

One of the Splinter Cells showed you a ghost of the last position you were seen. Enemies acted as if you were last seen there.

Sport and board games.

Nothing like the adrenaline of sport. Capoeira, fencing, whatever…I think having no power, being completely depleted after doing sport is one of the best feelings.

Boardgames: simply a decent combination of strategy, luck and talking, that keeps you engaged.

My first question: Did they change the gun play?

Because that feeling I got from OW gun play was “spammy, unsatisfying, boring” either in kill time, movement or timing.

The weapons are simple, but you don’t get the arena gameplay of map control, ammunition control and weapon cycling of arena shooters.

A single weapon is not complex to use as a weapon in CS or DirtyBomb.

To be honest Dirty bomb does health and ammo management better.

Everything I hear sounds good, but I never heared them fixing guna.

Diablo 1 is at fault - and Diablo 2 the first kingpin. Even without progression tabs people were grinding and hoping for the High rune.

What’s kinda funny is thw fact buying progression (i.e. Items and runes) on thoses ‘illegal’ sites was more reasonable in price.

The only danger the current iteration of f2p games has, is the graphical fidelity.

In other aspects premium games are still better. We just need to teach the new generation, that there is more than f2p.

It doesn’t give a feel of being able to control combat.

I feel this way too often. Some combat become a simon says moment. I think replayability is reduced when bosses are designed to strict - and parrying for big damage is a huge influence here.

Doing Edge of Tomorrow style Progression where one actor plays different classes and steadily progresses could be an option. Explore the world from a changing perspective.

Didnt the John Wick movies usee the role effect? Using this one to introduce the dodge role would be funny.

The Hoper Mario is something - it’s so off the rails, that it’s crusing on anothet track.

The other person literally said Oblivion is good despite the engine being 80% gamebryo. Don’t write like AI and ignore context. The stuff that is really bad in Starfield is the design philosophy of autogenerated content. This is entirely different from the engine choice.

Because the concept of a nation state is not much older, no? American Independence and French Revolution were among the first movements.

Isn’t it kinda interesting, that the first nation is still a thing? France is in it’s 5th iteration.

Yeah, the theory if front-loaded design is just reality of game development reality. No, D2 Ac4 wasn’t limited because of rentals - it was bad,because one year of crunch and still nit enough time does this to a product.

Halo1 last third is bad, because they did not have enough time, nit because they cared about rentals.

Game content dev generally starts at the beginning.

This makes no tactical sense. If a player is losing, they will do everything to stop it. Alliances are part of it.

Moonraker?

You can not come in here with your nice colleagues and reasonable work experience. I guess it is a big corp vs small company experience.

Video Game Jounalism missed the step to professional, independent work. Either by work ethic or by an industry playing the consumer and being outside of legislatives eye.

Like how can a honest, self-paying journalist compete in marketing and access to sources, when companies can blacklist them and at the same time allow exclusive time and content access to willful pawns? - and google and consumers support it.

That’s why you explain what the helicopter really is…

RTS like AoE or Warcraft

Bullet Hells like Assault Android Cactus

Hotline Miami

every 4X game

V Rising, Diablo or Baldurs Gate

You just don’t know how quotes work. If they wanted to ve deflective, they would not quote at all.They are at freedpm with the title. They choose executed and they display it is more than just their own opinion.

To tell a story history is not binding. It neither a lack of skill or imagination - it’s an intended. What you have shown is a lack of understanding of the art of telling a story.
