the_dog_days Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Pet peeve: why would they issue two different directions within 10 seconds of one another requiring you to walk ten feet, interact with an object, and then do the same with another object? Especially with a 3D HUD, they could just as easily have the quest giver tell you to do both things within the same sentence and let you carry it out to make it feel less like you're being told what to do. The last gameplay video had the same problem, rather than conveying information and letting the player preform the action, they have a voice over telling what to do at every little step along the way. Edit: I thought you embedded this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p_wFVfDxJQ Edited March 4, 2017 by the_dog_days
Lexx Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 The video does look interesting, but I can already sense your typical open world chores. Get to a new location, perform checklist activities to increase a value that will allow you to upgrade stuff, wait for the next main story event to happen. 10 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
213374U Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 The video does look interesting, but I can already sense your typical open world chores. Get to a new location, perform checklist activities to increase a value that will allow you to upgrade stuff, wait for the next main story event to happen. That is pretty explicitly what the video is about, with the space station thing points and the planet viability. What remains to be seen is whether the "chores" are enjoyable or at least entertaining, or simply variants of "gather 6543519347 more elfroot to upgrade our krogan tapestries". If it's MMO-lite garbage like that, I probably won't be able to finish it, much like Inquisition. Here's hoping they learned the lesson, though. 2 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

majestic Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 If it's MMO-lite garbage like that, I probably won't be able to finish it, much like Inquisition. Here's hoping they learned the lesson, though. Considering that sandboxy open world garbage is all the rage right now I find that highly... unlikely. It's just the way the big publishers are making their games these days. Analyze what sold well in the past years, create lists of buzz words describing these really successful (in terms of sales) games, pick the 10 highest matches, look which one of your studios fits the description most and have them produce a game with some hefty corporate interference. And it is only going to become worse with the proliferation of fast and easy "big data" analysis tools. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
majestic Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Great, seeing Timo Tolkki in that video is sure as hell going to make me wander down the nostalgia lane tonight. Even had to look twice considering he looks a bit like Meat Loaf these days. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
213374U Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 And it is only going to become worse with the proliferation of fast and easy "big data" analysis tools. Heh, if anyone has been consistently faceplanting from incorrectly reading or interpreting their "metrics" it's Bioware (Austin). You'd think they'd be the first to want to take conclusions gleaned from big data with a grain of salt. DAI sold like hotcakes, received (critical) acclaim, but was equal parts loved and hated by players. I'm just hoping they have learned something from that, and aren't simply aiming for Mass Effect: Inquisition. Then again, lots of people would probably dig that, so perhaps not. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Fenixp Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 So you can get such exciting upgrades for your Mak... Eh, Nomad as better shields, better boost or better armor. These cost as much as 120 elfroot. This is fantastic. 2

Eh, Nomad as better shields, better boost or better armor. These cost as much as 120 elfroot. This is fantastic. Yeah, my interest in ME: Andromeda started at around 0 due to ME3 (and no, not because of the ending) and DA:I (I like my MMOs with other people in it) but it's dipping into the negatives now... Will be interesting to see what people (= you folks) have to say about it after release...might be more entertaining than the game itself to boot

And also PoE 2 came into it... and I have to fund my Pathfinder RPG hobby as well :'( I really can't remember when was the last time, when there was so much games up to my taste released in such a short time span *shrugs* The only game which I own, and I am affraid that it would suck is Final Fantasy XV. For this reason, I have decided to not start the game, before most of the patches Tabata-san promised will be released.

sorophx Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl4bkIGgiyc don't know what to make of this. doesn't look like the first game at all 3 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Fenixp Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Eh, Shadow of Mordor got quite samey reasonably quickly, I don't think we necessarily need its copy in the sequel. Ally system could be fun.
213374U Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 So you can get such exciting upgrades for your Mak... Eh, Nomad as better shields, better boost or better armor. These cost as much as 120 elfroot. This is fantastic. On the other hand, ME1-style ammunition/heat management is back in the form of moddable heatsinks. For only 200 elfroot! As for the controller-only previews, IIRC it was like that for previous games too, but I may be wrong. The ME games have always been rather console-centric anyway. Remember that they didn't even handle the ME1 port internally, they handed that to Demiurge. 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

majestic Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Doesn't look that bad in the video. No Man's Sky never looked bad or boring in their videos. The final product was both. Regardless, I'd say those exo-vehicles are a step in the right direction, assuming its not a total pain to get them. Not that they would have been necessary if we could just, well, fly below the enforced minimum altitude like shown in past trailers. *cough* No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Lexx Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 No idea, i never bothered much about the game. I guess with more experience in game dev, you start to set your expectations more in line with reality and not hopes and dreams and hype. Therefore will be less likely disappointed. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Fenixp Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 When a construction project manager approaches you and tells you that he'll build something wonderful that's never been built before, answers "Oh just two okay houses" when asked about what his previous construction experience was and then replies with "Sure, why not!" when asked on details on how exactly does he plan to do that and what will this building contain, you don't need a lot of construction experience to tell that he's full of ****. It still astounds me that the opposite applies to videogames. 2
