Daweii Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) My issue with what I just watched is that the core game hasn't changed at all. Yes it's now open-world, but it's still the same "thousands of dudes stood still waiting to die" hack n' slash it's always been. I used to love Dynasty Warriors and I probably put 800 hours into Dynasty Warriors 2 back in the day, but every game since has been largely the same story, largely the same characters and largely the same gameplay all with slight visual upgrades. Now I give them credit for making it open world, but I see nothing here that makes me think it's not just Dynasty Warriors 8 without loading screens. These one note games need to do more as this stuff was rad in 2002, but it's just very monotonous at least to me these days. Watching that video and seeing the vast army just stand there while one man kills everyone isn't fun is it? Maybe I just get "it" anymore. I am happy though for fans of Dynasty Warriors that they'll be getting something that may feel new and fresh, but I don't see myself getting it not unless they show something truly mind blowing between now and launch.

hogso Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yeah, as I've said before - now you can button mash in a open world, which I guess might be a kind of improvement. I see from sales figures for the UK released recently that for the first 6 months of the year the best selling game (all formats) has been...GTA V. Horizon Zero Dawn came in at 3, I think, which is damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2017 That Dynasty Warriors clip looks so boring. Looks exactly how I remember it from 10-15 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I had almost, but not entirely given up hope that HL3 would ever be released. But the lead writer of Half Life has just put this up, which pretty much confirms it'll never be made: https://github.com/Jackathan/MarcLaidlaw-Epistle3/blob/master/Epistle3_Corrected.md In some ways, it's a shame that Steam was so successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2017 I saw that earlier. I'm surprised we don't have a Half Life thread actually. I'd given up on it ages ago. But that confirms it's dead. A shame as it could have been magnificent, and that outline suggests a lot of promise. A bit about Valve has leaked out recently. Little good. They are basically dead as a developer. Why make huge budget stuff when Steam, DOTA and TF2 hats will rub the company for you? They claim to have used that to let employees develop what they want but... Well... Where are these projects? The last thing they announced was a bloody Hearthstone knock off wasn't it?

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 HD update of the orange box would be amazing tbf, surprised the success of overwatch hasnt led to more noise about TF3 and portal was a massive success everything is sat waiting for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Really getting in to Dead By Daylight. Simple, but compelling gameplay, just the right formula for me to play one game, but still be there 10 games later. Absolutely horrifying though. I was playing it last night with the door shut, lights off, curtains closed...I was getting chased by the killer, when my clearing in the woods of a cat jumped on to the back of my chair. I must have woke the neighbours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Blizzcon 2017 is live Some big news for HotS, with a massive gameplay patch, as well as Hanzo and Alexstrasza coming up soon. SC2 going F2P isn't bad either. Hell, it's about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every bethesda game is the same. Random requote of another quote but following on from every bethesda game ever : Wolfenstein 2 & Evil within 2 are both down to £20 each in Games black friday deals after already being dropped to £30 for the past week or two (tesco also doing them for £21 and imagine others will also follow suit) Do not buy a Bethesda game on release ever. All of them are £30 2 weeks after release, £20 within a month and usually £10 within 2 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
