Currently playing it with friends, and we're having a good time. There are some design choices that are kinda confusing, but overall the gunplay is still fun and entertainment. The story and humor are the ones I think really missed the mark on this one.
Borderlands 3.
I played soooo much BL2 and BL and loved both for different reasons. I was really excited about BL3 but I bounced off it HARD.
Only got to level 15 with Moze and it just felt kinda meh. LIke a retread of BL2.
I have revisited it recently as this week and I'm kinda getting into it.
Forgot about this one. Yeah, totally agree with you. I sank I don't know how many hours into BL2, and my hype was through the atmosphere for BL3. Pre-ordered the super deluxe edition, could not WAIT to play it. Hated the writing (Killavolt quest was so cringeworthy I had to play that one mute), and I detested the villains. At least Jack had nuance. Troy and Tyreen were just obnoxious douchebags. I finished the story because I'd paid for the game, but could not wait for it to end.
Wha?! Why?!
Was looking forward to the game coming off Automata and nothing aside from art direction was good to me in that game. Combat and camera a mess, ths side quest and main story zzzz and the characters does anybody remember anything?
Final Fantasy Type-0 had years of hype from importers and the HD version was the first retail PS4/X1 game I really cared about (yes, really, nothing in the first year and a half of those consoles did much of anything for me). Game has very few redeeming qualities. Awful story, bad gameflow, weirdly inconsistent difficulty, corridor level design, easily breakable combat.
Nothing might ever top Metal Gear Solid V. My hype was in another galaxy.
And I had a good time playing it for over 100 hours, and yet the disappointment in just about all other aspects was crushing.
It's why Ground Zeroes remains the better game.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a pretty strong number one in this category for me, and it's unlikely to ever be beaten. In fact, it was this very game that caused me to stop pre-ordering games full stop.
