They draw you in thinking it's a real game, and then they lure you to stay with casino mechanics. Also, nobody falls for the "this is a game" trick; everyone knows these are casinos. They're slots machines for autists.
MUA is just Freedom Force without the modded content, and dumbed down for the console masses. Freedom Force is an old game now, but if you liked MUA, I recommend.
There's two genres I feel that are horrible with plots: science fiction and racing games.
What plot? I'm like halfway through and all I have is: humans fighting aliens and then space aids enters the game.
ODST involved an Orbital Drop Shook Trooper evacuating Earth, where after a botched landing, has to find his squad through the dark streets of New Mombasa WHILE being hunted himself.
Also, with multiple systems in play they can set up "weird tricks" to allow the victim to get more points for the same amount of money, so youtubers can make videos about them for more free advertizing and the victim will feel like he/she is being extra clever, getting the "best" value for money and gaining an upper hand even over other whales.
I think Infinitely spawning enemies are fine in most games because they are normally used in two contexts: the unlimited enemies are just goons that are ment to fight other npc goons for environmental ambiance and its clear you aren't supposed to be trying to wipe them out (Titanfall 2 has a few spots like this) The other context is to give the player a very forceful push to hurry up and leave an area.
Call of Duty. Especially on Veteran. Traditionally, you're supposed to hang back and pick enemies off, then move forward. With infinitely spawning enemies, the game forces you to move up so they'll magically stop.
I think Diablo 2 has to be considered in the context of when it was released, since other games have completely surpassed it at this point. But if you compare it to Diablo 1, it was a wildly ambitious sequel that improved on the formula in just about every single way.
Well, I don't think that CoD does a good job balancing the game around very hard difficulties because it sabotaged the intended gameplay style. CoD is designed to encourage player aggression. You stay in cover, shoot enemies to make an opening, then rush to the next cover grabbing guns/ammo and regenerate health (Rinse, Repeat). Clown car segments probably work fine and are not even noticeable on normal because you can push past it, but yeah I can see how on Veteran it would be a nightmare.
It would be better if a dog ate their homework instead of that shit we got. QTEs protruding, very disrespectful.
As someone who bitches about them I'm just of the personal opinion that it's a really lazy and unfunny way to try and draw humor into the game. When I discover something cool in a videogame the specialness falls apart almost immediately because it's not something unique to the universe or experience, it's just the Tardis from some shitty Britbong show. It basically sucks me out of the experience, is all.
I found a lot of the pop culture stuff in 2 to be too on the nose, like Gordon of Gecko practically quoting Wolf of Wallstreet.
Looking back, I loved the way humor was handled in 1.
use NVSE and New Vegas Anti Crash. ngl I tend to really hate the complaints about the bugs when Fallout 3 and 4 are just as bad, as well as having horrendous writing quality in addition to it. People don't praise New Vegas because of its structural integrity, they praise it because it's by far the most faithful modern Fallout game
Confession time: I have a copy of New Vegas I bought years ago and I have barely gotten out of the the tutorial. I got through 3 and when I booted up New Vegas I just got drained after realizing I'm going to be fighting the same janky gameplay I did to get through the parent game. I don't care if New Vegas's story is like a hundred times better than 3, the actual game part of Fallout 3 was a fucking chore. I'd rather just boot up Skyrim for the 20 millionth time.
