The bad user score is either a hissy fit, lots of those around, or a good indication of a terrible game. From what I have seen it doesn’t seem terribly, but isn’t great either. Campaign not being great is a big „wait for a deep sale” for me. I still have remasters to finish anyway.

MrBrown Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Looks like they changed the name. Gameplay reveal in June 11. https://blog.bioware.com/2024/06/06/TheVeilguard/ 1 2
MrBrown Posted June 7 Posted June 7 So many announcement videos at Summer Game Fest... and felt like 90% where "check for gameplay video later this year". Bleh.
Wormerine Posted June 8 Posted June 8 (edited) Three things from me: 1) Alan Wake2 DLC is out today, featuring Jesse Faden from control, dude from Quantum Break and Alan’s nb1 fan from the diner. It also reminds me that Alan Wake2 exists, which consistently slips my mind due it it being on a storefront I don’t boot up very often. 2) very Jusant-like looking climbing game. It seems to promise a bit more peril, which I am in to. While I liked Jusant, the complete lack of tension made the experience too chill for me. Maybe this will work. 3) Street Fighter6 Season2 character pass was revealed and….. meh? The offering is skits as stingy as season1, and half of the roster are guests - which as a fighting game newbie means nothing to me. I will probably be holding off pickingthis one, as I don’t immediately see anything compelling for myself. Bison should be out soonish and got a proper gameplay trailer today: Edit. Ah. And more of Deliverence2 Edited June 8 by Wormerine 2 1

Let's hope. I was one of the few who really liked the base of CivVI. What soured me on the installement were the expansins, which I didn't think added that much to the game. On one hand I feel no need for another Civ at this moment, but I am curious what will be tweaked in this one.
MrBrown Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I hope they make different enough from Civ6. 6 was basically an upgrade on 5, but I'm not sure there's that much interesting stuff to explore that way.

Well, Firaxis (or Sid) have a philosophy of thirds when making a sequel. You identify 1/3 that you want to keep to maintain identity and not alienate the fans. You identify 1/3 you want to improve on in the sequel. You take 1/3 and try something new. Unless there was a major shift in Firaxis, I can't imagine Civ7 reimagining itself too hard (or rebooting). 3

You didn't get that from "Heroes" not "Companions" and the style of the trailer? To me it looks obvious they did a hard pivot.

Sarex Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Ok, in that case I stand corrected and the trailer sucked ass. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Wormerine Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) Avowed still looks…. Eh? It looks so…. Basic? It is as if they concluded that PoE were to complex and subtle and overcorrected by cutting all flavour out. Hopefully the game proper fares better, but so far Avowed raises more and more red flags with each reveal. Edited June 9 by Wormerine
