As someone who didn't play the first game, this does nothing for me. Maybe there's some reference I'm missing that's getting people excited, but yea, it's just a slightly longer version of the first one they put out, which didn't have anything to say or show about the actual game, either. Also, it's kind of weird that the dude is basically joking about loot? Like, we all know that it's a loot game, but that just seems like a weird thing to joke about in your CG trailer. Was that humor in the first game or something?
It's one of those Nintendo things that if the game wasn't made by Nintendo it would probably end up on that video Jeff made where he played multiplayer games by himself.
Brutal but true
Same could be said for Overwatch and Blizzard.
Yeah, I think Overwatch is boring, Rainbow Six Siege does 5v5 FPS much better. Some of the guns feel incredible in Siege, in Overwatch nothing to me feels powerful. I want to like it but it just doesn't have a satisfying feel to it.
I'm glad Siege keeps getting more and more popular.
I disagree with that. I don't think I have disliked an FPS more than I dislike siege. But I adore overwatch. Problem is my friends like seige. We don't play many video games together these days.
Siege is probably the most rewarding FPS I have played in a long time, an absolute blast with my 4 friends. If the gunplay in Overwatch felt half as good as Siege I'd probably be more into it, but it feels like I'm firing peashooters.
The no respawns in Siege might turn off some. I don't mind it because I enjoyed older Rainbow Six games online a lot and some Counter Strike. I think the rounds are short enough in these games that no respawn is definitely a good thing.
I tried Siege with friends and didn't think much of it. Not a bad game, but not interesting enough to hold my attention for more than a few sessions of it. The round based nature to it is definitely a turn off for me. I never like Counter strike (outside of weird shit like gungame, kz maps). I buy video games to play them, not to watch other people play them until I'm good enough to not die right away. Also, as someone who loves Overwatch (was my GOTY), I didn't spend hundreds of hours in that game because Blizzard made it instead of Ubisoft or EA, I put hundreds of hours in it because it's a great game that I find satisfying to play. Also, The "only reason it's popular is cause Blizzard made it" theory is silly. Those games Jeff plays are made by like 1-3 people who lack the money or ability to create a decent game and market at all. Those developers wouldn't be able to make a game like Overwatch, Splatoon, Siege or any other game that requires a lot of talent, time, and money.
@boozak: I loved the first season, didn't like the second (like a lot of people), and then I felt like it really picked up in season 3. After that it becomes a blur as to how I felt about it. I was probably a Walking Dead apologist at some point, but season after season of the writers spinning their wheels in the mud really eroded whatever appreciation I had left for the show. Specifically, I was tired of the loop of "we found a new home, I think we may even have a real life here! Things can be good again! ...Oh weird, tragedy strikes again." You know what my favorite time of the show was? When they thought Eugene had a plan to save the world. It gave the plot purpose. A light at the end of the tunnel. A sense that this thing can actually come to a conclusion. So much for that.
Seriously, don't waste your time. I question myself every week as to why I still watch it. Maybe I get some sick satisfaction out of it? All I know is that every week, that show consistently finds new ways to upset me. I could rant for hours about every issue I have with it. I've devoted WAY too much time thinking about the ways in which it's bad, and if I took the time to type it all out here, I would just be giving the show even more time that it doesn't deserve.
ME3 didn't stop being a disappointing game from then to now just out of nowhere, so I'm still disappointed by it. It was always more than just the ending though. That game had a lot of poor design choices in dealing with conversation, you know, the fucking thing I come to a bioware game for. Walking through the citadel and randomly having quests pop into my questlog, not knowing where the fuck they came from was really lame. Learning that I was supposed to stop and overhear conversations for context as to why I'm doing a thing didn't make it any better. Then there was those weird ass situations where you walk up to two people arguing and you're supposed to hit a button prompt to agree with person A or person B. How engaging.
It wasn't a bad game, but man did it have some faults that I couldn't forgive.
