Personally yes, I have really over the last few years lost a lot of interest in open world games, mostly because there are so many games that really don't use their open world or justify it one bit.

I thought MGS V was really the thing that made me sour on them as a whole. The game lost pretty much everything I loved about the previous games, and what we got was repetitive missions, barely any story and running around in a boring, empty world collecting things that really could just have been unlocked through more interesting ways than "scour every inch".

I cannot muster any interest in Horizon Zero Dawn after having seen how the game is structured. I just have no interest doing the same tasks over and over and having to run around collecting meaningless trinkets to progress in terms of equipment. Yeah you can skip side stuff, but then the game just becomes and empty world where you run from point A to B between missions and it would just be better off being a directed, tight, singleplayer experience.

Never been an issue to me, just sit on it

Shadowrun on the Xbox 360. Spent hundreds of hours on that game. It got so much hate because, well it wasn't really Shadowrun. But it had so much unique and cool ideas and so many ways to play it. It really had a lot of depth and the community was awesome.

Cool, definitely getting this.

The Hard Mode sounds more akin to something like Master Quest than just adjusting damage and health values. So I will definitely go through the game again if that is indeed significantly different.

The second pack seems like the meat of the thing, and probably mostly what the price is made up of.

Greenlight has been on its way out for years, its almost never been relevant and most games that got on the service last year did NOT go through Greenlight. This is just a natural evolution of that. It came out at a time when it was still really hard to get onto Steam as an attempt to solve that. It didn't work, but Valve has since changed their policy to really allow more games on Steam.

Net positive I feel. Before it was almost impossible for games to get on Steam and it could basically be the difference in making money or not. I don't agree with the notion that Valve should vet the store, let people sell their stuff. You have to be able to be an informed consumer enough to not just buy crap.

I think her moveset looks really cool, the design of the character is pretty boring though but whatever. dude does a game really need that many blondes

Staggering amounts of people double-dip on Rockstar games, they are just that good.

I just don't believe these blanket statements that companies make these days, because they have all long histories of manipulating anything they can to make themselves look good.

Since they said the game sold five million in the first week, a million since then isn't really great. And I can assume that this probably means the game just about broke even in terms of financials, which isn't what Square hoped for I am sure. They probably want to make some money.

@atwa: come now, I know people love to rag on how Inquisition played but that was a good looking game with some good looking character models.

I just don't agree with that sorry.

Yah she was quite ugly, but the tech was good. In a way I appreciated that for once your entire party wasn't composed of warrior super models.

That is not how it comes off to me. You can definitely make "ugly" characters, these are ugly because of poor design. As in, they barely look human and very uncanny, also their animation is so bad that combined it just barely makes the characters believable as anything other than computer people. Bioware has never been great in either of these aspects, but before they just felt kind of stiff. Now they just feel weird and uncomfortable to me.

I just don't agree with that sorry.
