For me I loved Dragon Age 2 beacuse I came from Mass Effect and the streamlined effect totally felt like an ME game to me. Also loved the idea of setting things in one city it was something different. Totally get why people don’t like it tho.
Where to start?
One of the greats from the C64. A step up from Last Ninja in terms of graphics and gameplay. The soundtrack is killer for the time. Still sad that System 3 never seemed to get close to releasing a Last Ninja 4
Insert Anthem and ME: Andromeda here.
Sad. I was thinking the buyout was more about owning ip e.g halo, fallout tv shows than the devs. I guess in ms world any other studio can take over game development.
Yep. Compared to W3 felt like more busywork in CP2077
Will be interested to check out Callisto - didn’t set the world on fire, but then again I really enjoyed days gone when it came to ps+
Not really excited vey the selection they’ve put up esp combined with an incoming price bump.
If these sites went under nothing would be lost. Theres room for a new filter/black list for generated content-farm sites.
See also the movie Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3) which predated Duke Nukem 3D by a few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdkqagOUaPM
I thought it was a reference to the phrase ‘Suck my boomstick’ which I think came from Duke Nukem.
I just watched matrix 4, which gives me the same vibes as ME:A. Nice to revisit the universe but a lot of talk, busywork with no story and nothing new. The direct to video comment below seems apt.
Good setup, good engine, nicely rendered different worlds, not much going on. Like the matrix, could have been worthy in someone else’s hands.
However worth playing at budget price, just set expectations.
I have to get back to that one, I had a pc that was locking up constantly - never finished it.
This is in my top 10. Massive game and so deep with the side quests. I loved that you could wander off and discover these little mini stories in any direction. Spoiled me a bit for other games where you had to collect rocks or something (cough: DA:O)
Check the sidebar - it’s a generalist gaming community so share away. As a note there is also a dedicated ttrp community at [email protected] which can be joined from beehaw.
I played ME:A all the way through and… so much filler. Not a train wreck though, I tried to start another playthough and couldn’t do it because while the engine was good when you scratched the surface, it was just surface.
For the record I love the mass-effection of Dragonage called Dragon Age 2 so I get it.
FYi - If the playstation community is abandoned - you can request to take it over via https://lemmy.ml/c/community_requests rather than set up another one -
I remember at the time there were was a thread about which was the better game between TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tsushima, with the majority going for GOT. Having played that one, personally not so sure…
If you’re only half way through you’ll be happy to know the 2nd half is just as good. Great game.
