This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"Motorcycle section" puts me off this game more than anything else I've heard.
To my ear, "motorcycle section" screams single-level set-piece on rails with minimal gameplay designed to show off explosions. Just like that level where you man a minigun out the door of a helicopter. You know the one, from every game released in the 2010s.
And some of these minigun sections also don't require you to shoot anyone. Many of these onrails sections are just an interactive cutscene with one end: you getting out in one piece
Hey, I like those sections :(
All we had to do was follow the damn Train, CJ!
If I recall correctly, the problem with that mission was that if you got TOO close to the train, the shooter couldn't hit anything, so the problem was the players did the mission TOO well. heh.
One of the easiest ways to do it is not following the train at all, but riding a bit ahead where there’s a building next to the track you can get on top of, wait for the train to catch up, jump on it, and then just shoot the three guys normally.
Hit the nail on the head
I stopped playing Death Stranding because it was nothing but one long cut scene at the start and I still had no idea what the game was about after it stopped. I have rage quite a number of 'on rails' games. I can find other things to do rather then watch a poorly made interactive movie.
It's actually the best walking simulator ever made, as the focus is on, you know, walking places.
It also has a very simple, but also very satisfying gameplay loop. It actually turns boring once it introduces traditional action game mechanics.
Hideo Kojima games may be interactive movies and not to your taste but "poorly made" they aren't.
Is it a game if you're not gaming ?
Claiming there isn't a game to death stranding is just wrong though. It's hyperbolic to say the whole thing is a cutscene.
There’s two death standings and that second one is bad.
Red dead redemption 2, lol.
Sounds like you didn't make it past the intro
If you don't have to do anything, it's not a video game, it's a movie.
Yeah it’s not a QTE, it’s a cutscene
I find it kind of funny that Spider-Man is held up as some sort of golden standard to adhere to in all of this. Spider-Man is also very average game imo. The gameplay is not very compelling, and it's no surprise that Insomniac's approach would overstay its welcome after a couple of games. Doubly so when you move from Spider-Man, a character with a more diverse moveset and inherent better traversal abilities, to Wolverine.
Spider-Man (PS4) was just a worse Arkham with web slinging. And it sounds like Wolverine is just a worse Spider-Man without web slinging.
I am going to throw my thoughts in. Spiderman is as good as Arkham City, and I think it depends on which super hero you prefer.
From a game standpoint, they are very close to each other, I think batman has slightly better stealth, but Spiderman has better traversal. Combat is good enough in both to give you enough room to be expressive if you want, and the open world fluff is mostly not insulting (maybe not those riddler trophies though).
Both are good 8/10 games.
But everything thing I have seen about Wolverine is at best fine, and then you just have the Devs insulting the players and their intelligence.
I am surprised wolverine is getting scores as high as it is, but from a glance and an outside point of view, I am offering a 4 or 5/10.
And one last note, Arkham Asylum is better than City, the more intricate level design is better than an open world.
Yes! So damned boring!!
They literally just got web slinging right and the childhood dream of a game where you fly through building and stop random crimes as Spiderman worked as it did in your imagination.
that was a big feat but yeah, those games were over hyped when they were basically just really fun to move around in
I dunno who's in that game, but it's not logan.
look, the dude doesn't even have armpit hair. a hirsute, near feral character like logan, who's got hair spewing from his face and arms and everywhere, somehow, doesn't have armpit hair. like that's the part he'd shave.
I dunno who that game is supposed to be representing but I hope at the last scene you fight a boss and it turns out haha not logan the whole time, it was mistique.
And her part of my dream last night was thinking "if Logan was a real person from Canada would his background be Greek, Italian or Iranian?"
I landed on Greek. He seems like he could demolish an gyro.
From my experience quicktime events mainly work in kids games. Its a really gimmicky mechanic but if you dont want to make a complex battle too hard for example or have a cutscene it works if youre audience isnt used to playing videogames.
Watched the clip and… is this some arcade game from 2003?
Why do you insult arcade games from 2003 like that?
Just had a video from a random YT gamer pop up in my feed where he tried out the motorcycle chase on second highest difficulty.
He exited the pause menu, put the controller down and he didn't have to touch it until after the cut scene where Wolverine jumps off the bike onto the truck.
Bro died but he was far enough that he had passed a checkpoint so it just picked back up halfway through the chase.
I have it wishlisted but I won't buy it until it's $10
This is why gamers deserve what they get. Why the fuck are you rewarding that with $10. You desperate to burn money? Give it to a homeless person! Holy fuck I hope you get nothing but aggressively mid games forever as you deserve.
Counter offer, take it off your wishlist and go buy $10 worth of silly things at a dollar store. It will literally be a better experience overall and you can enjoy it knowing they didn't enen get a pittance from you.
Counter counter offer, use that $10 towards a really cool indie game. You'll support a small and upcoming game developer while having an awesome experience that isn't marred by triple-A slop.
Dude just go outside and burn it. That would be better than rewarding this garbage.
Second this. Bought Indika Deluxe edition including Artbook and FLAC soundtrack DRM-free for less than that this week.
This is what i dont get.
Your time is worth more than playing a bad game will give you.
I wouldnt pirate this game, because its hardly a game, and playing it for free is a waste of my time and thus money. Id rather play a mid game than waste my free time on a nongame
I dont get it either man
The game doesn't seem to be getting very many good reviews.
"Offensively mid", the result of corporate rot of MBAs who don't play or understand games tgladmaxxing every game into samey mediocrity.
It's a widespread cultural phenomenon. We've promoted finance people into postions of power instead of product people and the results are as obvious as they were predictable.
A game for everyone is a game for noone.
I miss the days when people like Reggie Fils-Aime, Satoru Iwata (RIP), Gunpei Yokoi, and hell, even early Phil Spencer were in charge of the gaming conpanies they led. It only makes sense that a certified gamer or game developer should be put in charge of a GAMING company.
