I never said anything about difficulty, I just said it's not a very good combat system. The game's quite easy but I look for more in a game. Its mechanically very shallow and doesn't seem to care much how you preform at it.
I agree and I also don't get the obsession with digital vs physical. If a game got too controversial MS or Sony could just update your console to make that disc unbootable. Even on PC, physical media decays. I've always thought the true preservation of video games is in piracy and emulation.
Tell that to the people who dedicate themselves to no damaging the series, Even Yakuza 7 and Infinite Wealth can be beaten without taking damage if you're autistic enough.
This shit is the equivalent of zoomer editing in youtube videos. It's like people are afraid you'll turn the game off if something shiny isnt popping out at you every 5 seconds.
That's the issue I have with modern Gears of War titles (3 and 5) compared to the first two installments. The grainy, dull colors help sell the horror, dread atmosphere. All that color saturation takes away from the intended immersion.
It works perfectly for Cyberpunk 2077, but for everything else it sucks ass.
Well yea Night City is supposed to look like a Neon Nightmare full of ads. Fallout 4 having the same color palate as cotton candy on the other hand makes absolutely zero fucking sense.
I'm convinced it's to appease the autistic gamers who game with their main screen while listening to podcasts and checking instagram on their phones.
That explains the microtransactions, loot boxes and celebrity "cameos."
You're right and they're not different games. Genres are a by-gone idea of an industry that had talent.
Sure. What I mean is that genres typically compete with each other (e.g. FPS genre; Call of Duty vs. Battlefield). That's why I gave that disclaimer. In this case, GTA VI will be a juggernaut for ALL upcoming video games around this fall. All this manufactured hype and fan anticipation, what video game would DARE release around GTA VI's launch?
My last two game purchases were Dark Forces (Remastered) and Boltgun; both of which are sprite-based FPS games with 3D backgrounds. I had as much fun as I would playing a regular 3D game like Halo or Metal Gear Solid.
I honestly want to know which game was the Patient Zero to this. Even I'm starting to notice this too.
