What killed it for me was the story mode being described as "brief" and "disappointing". I liked the core gameplay but don't have many people to play with and was mostly getting it for the singleplayer. Might pick it up if I can find it super cheap sometime, but a game that is effectively a "multiplayer-only" fighting/sports game just isn't for me. Especially not at full price.
That's how it goes for ~10 month old games at Black Friday. God of War was ~$20 at Black Friday ;)
Because its gameplay is great from the traversal to the combat and because they did the Spider-man IP justice. The set pieces in that game were also awesome and the general campaign missions were great. Days Gone seems to combine a mixed story with dull gameplay and bad mission design.
There's really not much difference between onscreen Greg and offscreen Greg, Y'all.
Because moment-to-moment, it's a blast to be Spider-Man. If your core gameplay is fantastic or unique, players don't tired of doing the same thing over and over.
Yep. Spider-Man's mechanics and traversal were good enough to get you through the repetetive aspects. I'm watching the GB Quicklook and this bounty mission where Vinny is chasing a guy at a glacial pace while only being able to target his bike with pot shots looks so fucking tedious. Sigh
It's not bias, mechanically driven games like hitman, dishonored, prey are well reviewed. Ubisoft output is well received and most of em don't have even good stories. If you gonna focus on story telling and characters, make em good like any other part of your experience, it ain't rocket science.
I was responding to someone who said "lol they were mocking the priest, is cool".
He's probably off promoting the right-wing version of the game called Gays Done.
It's evident that Spiderman just feels much better to play. Every game has a core gameplay loop where you do a finite amount of things more than once. When people describe repetition it's basically like saying the core systems aren't very fun and thus doing the same things over and over isn't very fun. It's why even though you have a shit ton of camps in Far Cry games no one really calls those repetitive because the core gameplay of far cry is fun AF.
I think the difference is is that spiderman 1. Is spiderman, and 2. Had an interesting story. I didn't nearly love the game as much as others because of the terrible open world but the story was a fairly good experience that didn't really force you to spend tons and tons of Time in the city. I beat spiderman in like 18 hours and it seems that Days gone just gets started after that point
The Metacritic score for this post is currently sitting at 93
Haha if you stop and think about it, it totally makes sense. I can dig it.
Any chance they'll patch these issues out soon?
He doesn't like how shooting feels in F.E.A.R., that's just blasphemous
The combat here is so one note. With the exception of endgame and Hordes, you can just melee, which I didn't find enjoyable as it makes it glaringly obvious how bad the AI is.
Yeah I definitely wont say that everyone plays a ton like that I personally have a friend that's one and done with every game and never replays at all and rearely does anything but the critical path. But I firmly beleive that more people than not spend more time with games than the average reviewer and even if the total gametime winds up less at times they took longer to get there and had more time to reflect. Especially with these big open world games with tons to do and explore i feel that gamers spend more time experiencing those worlds than most reviewers. , and thats just inherent to their job and how things work currently and i think their can be a better way to grade these games.
