As someone who loves Terraria, but was underwhelmed initially by Starbound in Early Access, the final product is absolutely fantastic.
Felt the exact same way when I bought in to help fund Starbound.
I chalked it up to playing way too much Terraria to dive back into something so similar but this quicklook combined with my time away from Terraria and Starbound has totally reignited my interest.
@sweep For the record I barely touched multiplayer but I adored all three campaigns, played a lot of co-op campaign and played a ton of horde with buds.
For me I think it boils down to Gears 1, 2 and 3 being an amazing trilogy. The world, characters and gameplay felt custom-made for the scope and story of those three games.
I never tired of it but I left satisfied and it left a fantastic memory that, for me, is perfect just how it is.
@musai ...I would not discount the possibility of Sony changing their mind depending on how Microsoft addresses their own turbo console at their press conference.
That's where I would put my money. Worked brilliantly for Sony marketing last E3, why not try it again.
"The language of Smash is universal. If the human race were to make contact with sentient alien life, I can think of no better way to initiate diplomatic relations than sending up a couch, a tiny CRT, and a GameCube with Super Smash Bros."
...and then said sentient alien life destroys earth based on the fact that this was apparently "the best we had to offer". To be fair I'm assuming said alien lifeform would have no nostalgia for the characters and stages, thus they would rate our planet and species purely on gameplay and fidelity.
Sorry, when an article opens with a statement that could potentially doom out entire species - issues of sexism become secondary to me.
Great, now they'll have even less incentive to optimize the games for baseline PS4.
This incremental future fully sucks.
That's my take-away too. Make it for the 4.5 then optimize it just enough that it "works" on the 4.0.
Hope we're wrong but it feels like this could fast track the 4.0 to year 8 of the PS3/360 where lousy framerates and constant screen tearing sent me PC shopping.
I would personally never give a videogame that tried to trick me into watching TV anything higher than a 2/5. Frankly, I would never review it because a) I don't review games and b) I have no interest in watching 20 minute cutscenes let alone a TV show in the middle of my precious gameplaying.
I like how GB runs their reviews but occasionally they do raise my eyebrows and as much as I respect and probably agree (I'll never know, cause I'll probably never play this TV-show-ass game) I do have wonder if Jeff was the best barometer to measure this one.
Off-topic PS: I was out at the bar the other night with Red Dead, IPA and Baird the other night and they wanted me to give a big GFY to Big @jeffrey. Just passing it along :)
