"EA cancels Titanfall project"

- OMG No!!!!


"Extraction shooter"

- oh ok

Never good to see people lose their jobs though.

Poison gas seems broken half the time. You run through it, and it fills the entire zone. You just die because your HP slowly whittles down.

Also, I find the indoor maps to be a bit weird. When you are indoors, the map should default to indoor. I am pretty sure it does that in the original game. Here, you have to open the map and scroll down every single time to zoom into the indoor view.

Other than that though, this is really the perfect way to remaster a game like Oblivion.

Outside of some quality of life adjustments and changes to the leveling system, it's really the exact same Oblivion from 2006 under the hood, which for a game as famous as this, I feel like anything else would have caused an outcry.

I've always heard good things about the Lunar series. I like the colorful visual style and the mid-90s anime aesthetic.

I'm pretty early in the game, but it seems like every single dungeon is a battle of attrition in that there are so many enemies to fight and your MP is quite limited. There are MP restoration items, but they are expensive. By the time you get to the boss of the dungeon, you are out of MP or HP.

What I felt like I've had to do thus far is grind to the point of where I can kill almost all enemies with auto attack then heal up with items right before the boss. I can't see myself continuing to play if that's what I'm in for.

I really liked Doom 2016, but Doom Eternal was just exhausting to play :lol:

I'm a millennial, and I have zero interest in the next generation enjoying my money when I am alive or distributing any wealth :lol:

$90 for some physical games?

Is that just for first party titles or all Switch games?

After that joke of a Direct, Nintendo can frick right off if they are charging $80 - $90 for objectively inferior ports of microtransaction riddled triple A games.

At least Nintendo games usually aren't loaded down with DLC. I would pay $100 for some games if it meant no microtransactions. There's nothing in that Direct though that looked like it'd be worth over $60

I like how they say "enhanced resolution and framerate" instead of 4K 60 FPS.

I want to know what happened to all the old AC writers. These games had interesting stories all the way up until Unity and then the stories started to go downhill.

I would go so far as to say that AC Shadows barely has a story to speak of for 95% of it's runtime.

I blame the non-linear narrative structure of the RPG-centric AC games for a good bit of it, but I'm not convinced Ubisoft could string together a decent narrative even if the main mission progression was more linear in nature.

I also miss set-piece main missions. You can have a giant open world with a tremendous amount of activities and POIs but have main missions that offer distinct gameplay experiences from just trapsing around the open world.
