It’s Far Cry with an amazingly immersive Pandora skin. It’s not shite, it’s just… solidly mediocre fun? Unsurprisingly consistent?
Like, they are endlessly perfecting the formula, like any other AAA company that has found something that works.
“Listen, I have gamer friends! Heck, my best friend is a gamer! I understand you. You can totally trust me!”
That’s what the ignore option is for. I just wish I could do it for entire companies.
It’s a service problem, though. Not a money problem. This is a perfect example of that very fact.
As someone who played roguelikes in the 90’s then got frustrated with ancient UI/UX, and therefore also bounced several times, I can confirm that the latest efforts and co-operation with Kitfox have really improved things.
My latest efforts had me playing for several hours almost entirely with the mouse and having fun!
(and then I got stuck in the first basement mission with no way to reach the mission objective; that was less fun)
武昌？Is this an attempt at rehabilitating Wuhan’s image internationally? Because that sounds like a good plan, haha!
They don’t remember. On account of their brain injury.
Probably the reference manual for HR departments everywhere…
Avatar : Frontiers of Pandora has had me going like Rowan when played in explorer mode. It gives you hints like in other recent Ubisoft games but holy shit some of those were near useless… I wasted entirely too many hours just exploring and circling around the correct answer. I recently switched to the more friendly Guided mode and it has the waypoint only appear in Hunter mode, so that was kinda nice. Hasn’t completely spoiled the experience although I still wish it would only activate once you were in the vicinity indicated by the clue (ie, if the clue gives you some corner of the map to explore, then the guided mode would only start helping once you’ve reached that general area).
But yeah, overall, I disagree with OP. Make it optional, make it diegetic, make it subtle, but the option is a wonderful game design element, in my book.
One thing I think is that the longer time you need to use it, the harder you’ve failed in you basic design, because I shouldn’t have to press the damn button 90% of the time like I used to in Far Cry Primal. That game is still my favourite as a precursor, but I was using the hunter vision way way way too much.
If all you bring to the job is looking shit up and telling me yes or no instead of actually trying to help me find solutions, or explaining me what I did wrong, you’re just a glorified robot. You’re in line for replacement and you’ll fucking deserve it. At least that’s what I wanna say to “the computer said” people.
In the words of the wise : do NOT feed the trolls.
Is the game good? I don’t care what the engine is. The game’s good! Let’s play the game. Well, that’s the issue Bruce, isn’t it? The games are not as good as you think they are.
Nesmith explained that the studio can’t focus on the needs of modders when creating a core game. Maybe you should wonder why so many of those mods are corrections, bug fixes and extensions to the engine though. Maybe that’s a hint?
For real, up until Horizon, I had never played a Sony game at all. What a shame. For them.
I was thinking the other day that people were bashing it for the space navigation and I remembered that Mass Effect didn’t let you pilot shit or even pick where to go or explore a huge planet and still was so so good.
Still not attracted because what ME was an engrossing story and amazing cast, which Bethesda never ever did in any of the games I liked. So… yeah.
But I sure hope people who took the plunge will get their money’s worth!
Best kind of correct!
You don’t understand because you think it’s normal. That shit is not normal.
That’s like saying “well, they treat their slaves well! What are y’all complaining about?” when the issue is that you’re a slave.
Crunches are regular and common
… and that’s not good and needs to change. You forgot to write the important part.
What a silly take.
Ignoring the issue, or not even being aware of it, does not mean that people don’t want to fix the problem.
That was a beautiful read, cheers!
Some people insist on having a nametag on 4chan.
