Redfall. - I'm not angry, just...disappointed.

Developer that made black troon DLC sucks? Shocking.

She looks like an evil version of the host of that old Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego show:

not exactly the kind of face that screams "fun shooter game"

>Man, that's crazy. Even on the highest difficulty, there's no pathfinding.
I like his optimism that game devs would make the AI more intelligent on higher difficulties, rather than just doubling health/damage values.

who could have seen this coming

Not gonna lie, I am somewhat enjoying witnessing the slow death of gaming
I hope these big corpos continue releasing unfinished products and milking their dumb customers.
Let's see the tolerance for being exploited gamers have shall we

Prey was surface level Woke but still a very good game despite that, now however Woke is fully poisoning the well to where it's not just an aesthetic thing you have to look past, the game itself is fundamentally shit, you know things are bad when you miss the culture of 2017.

Woke is literally ruining gaming and it will only get worse until the dyed hair brigade is run out of the industry on a rail.

The only people that don't like Prey are literal shit eating retards who can't play any game that doesn't let them win by holding up on the left analog stick and pressing A now and then. Modern day gamers, basically.

Huh? It's not a particularly hard game. Unless you deliberately go a no psi mods challenge run; you can clear the game as a psionic god wizard, powered by eels very easily. Though in fairness, games journalism mode is a thing for a reason ha.

It's a shame really, the idea of an immersive sim style game where you carefully hunt down vampires in some Salems Lot esque place is a neat one. Too bad what was made was a fortnite mod tier shitshow that plays like a tax write off. Sad.

"Redfall is a monster-filled sandbox"
That's not exactly praise, more like a fact, a statement. Might has well say "This has guns in it".

Ironically, someone even pointed this out on the comments of the post

That's one of the EXTREMELY rare cases where I agree with the average twitter user, congratulations Anth

Put "slow" into it, this shit has been happening for years and nothing changed, how many more shit unfinished games will be shipped before the next gaming crash?
Gaming has already died as a passion, but it will take long to die as an industry, too many stuff already proved this
The only thing that complaining has done is getting rid of lootboxes, but even them, companies found other ways to exploit costumers (live services, battle passess, etc.)

It's time to give up hope, I calculate at least 3 more years of broken ports, unfinished messes, mediocre releases and generic slog before it is truly over

The basic premise of the game is definitely cool and I can see what the original intent probably was, had this been a game from a decade ago it probably would have good.

But this is 2023 where game development is fundamentally broken, not even entirely because of Wokeness either, although that's a big part it.

You mentioning Fortnite is apt, the other side of the coin of what's killing gaming, stupid bullshit for stupid idiots to either drain money out of their pockets or watch other stupid idiots stream.

The way gaming has moved so far away from simply something you sit down and play for fun, with the rise of streamer culture, virtue signaling or just good old fashioned greed, there's always some angle to it now than the simplicity of what it used to be, is what's ruining it.

If this is true, it's kinda pathetic

Redfall Review - Noisy Pixel

Fun fact but another game that used this tatic was Bubsy 3D (Using negative review out of context to promote game)

---

Oh, that makes more sense I guess, still weird how different in tone the preview review is from the release one, guess it was better when it was less finished

Still, it's disingenuous to use a quote from the preview when you are shilling the full release since the review from said release was made one day after the tweet

And obviously, also when the game was so close to actually hitting shelves
They could have waited for something that actually reflected the final product, did they do this on purpose because they knew the game would receive flack upon launch ?

Still, it's kinda ironic that they promoted a site that later would tear their game apart

The other promoted sites, aside from VGC which gave it a 4/5, also did not have very much positive to say:

I am not sure why this game took 6 years to develop. I’m sure at one point it was probably building off the best parts of dishonored but someone had a brilliant idea to add co-op

 

[Judge Dredd]

Arkane need to stick to immersive sims.

I doubt they have the skill for that any more.

The only people that don't like Prey are literal shit eating retards

Or people with taste.

Seriously though, that game had way too much going back and forth to the recycler. It's a game that plays better on easy because all that changes is damage dealt and received, which basically means less time collecting junk to turn into ammo and medpacks.

Having never finished it, I'll say the game gets to be a slog. The game plays it's hand early and then spends a lot of time spinning it's wheels.

how many more shit unfinished games will be shipped before the next gaming crash?

The next crash? We're not even finished with this one.

It's time to give up hope, I calculate at least 3 more years of broken ports, unfinished messes, mediocre releases and generic slog before it is truly over

Give up hope in what sense? AAA has been dead since the end of the Xbox 360 at least, barring the occasional Resident Evil game.

Indies are chugging along okay, but visibility and budget are a major problem since few YouTubers want to cover niche games (it doesn't pull in the views) and normies will complain about graphics unless the game goes viral.

I just want to say that modern video games have conditioned me to hate looking at black women. Every time I see a 3d model of a she boon with an obnoxious afro or stupid dreadlocks I get annoyed. There's one in every single game now.

 

[Mega Black]

Looter shooters are universally shit. Borderlands 1 is the only game that got remotely close and nobody else has been able to replicate it properly since.

 

[Articles and Nudes]

Ah, a vampire game with a day and night cycle where daylight has no effect on vampires.

A quick blast of a UV lamp turns 'em to stone though.

I'm just waiting for the Crowbcat video

Crowbcat is buck broken. he wont make a new one.

How was Prey woke? It's been years since I've played it, but I can't really remember anything being woke about it.

 

[ZMOT]

Arkane need to stick to immersive sims.

Can't say I'm surprised that this isn't any good though, as soon as I saw the main cast was a bunch of "quirky", "modern" mystery meats I was wary. It's not a sure way to tell how a game's gonna be but it's usually a good indicator.

those don't make as much money as destiny, so....
