SPACER

I'm already SPACER

 

[Shadenuat]

xD xD xD

Yeah, that aint happening, I'm afraid.

I mean, let's be realistic here:

- Locations. While shep looked good, actual locations where they did quests looked very poor, I think Obsidian are somewhat out of their waters here to create a high standard (Witcher 3 equivalent) of good looking locations. Some of the parts of trailer were nothing but eye gouging level with colors giving you new sickness you never knew you had.

Also existence of the ship and missions can lead to hub-based ME gameplay which, I dunno, is just really not that exciting compared to real open world RPG.

- NPCs. Aside from scientist, they all looked bland as fuck, blander than VTM NPCs. Their dialogue was not stellar either. Again, Obsidian is working on 3d first person, but now they're building stuff from scratch, not modding Fallout 3. Great animations and unique looks seems like ain't happening.

- Dialogue/Story. Two m ladies, worked on Deadfire. We know how Deadfire turned up. Unless Boyarsky make them military march hands straight and edits everything they do, well, we already seen what would be humor and the "U just be u lol!". Maybe points will be gained for shedding any pretense of being serious and just making lol game, but can they do even that?

- Gameplay. We've seen it. It will be a bad, outdated first person shooter. With quest compass. For consoles.

This leaves us roleplaying system and C&C probably. Roleplaying system, I doubt it would make casuls break their brains to figure out anything. There's that flaws gimmick. C&C, and maybe a twist or two (we know Troika games were strong when plot was about some conspiracy) - we don't know.

Also, I believe they will try to hit some particular date to ship this, which means they'd have to make this fast. With his mystical greedy chinese boss abilities, Fearghus somehow grabbed everyone by the balls, parading 2 old school ORIGINAL FALLOUT developers like thoroughbred horses and collecting hype like shiiit (Fallout masturbation never reached higher, we now see not fallout rip off of fallout rip off made by fallout people its falloutception all together with their own Moon-Moon logo guy; member when these developers did things noone else did, like translating vampires or steampunk fantasy gurps into CRPGs? yeah not today). Naturally people would just snowball it from here.
Which means time is ticking and we may get a quite buggy/unfinished product in the end.

Forgive me for being dat guy, but does anyone really believe we, i.e. people who like RPGs, or even people who tolerate AAA shit for storyfaggotry, have anything to gain from all this? Excuse me for being very sceptical.

P.S. I really liked the song.

LOL NO BUGS THEY SAID

What I don't like of the combat is the sound design. Namely the sound of the gun when firing, it remind me of some early 2000s game, it's weak and doesn't have a "punch" feel to it.

I also don't like the fact that the character is walking around with the gun aimed in front of him like a retard, and some of the dialogue didn't convince me (althought the video from GI was terrible and the commentary ruined it)

 

[Nano]

Not sure why people are already complaining about combat. Looked fine to me in the gameplay video.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Why are there kill cams in this game. That was an engine limitation in NV, not something that Obsidian should aspire to emulate.

What "limitation" is that? You can turn off kill cam from the options in FNV.

 

[Roguey]

People itt complaining about easy combat and mandatory quest compass like... what?

It's not 2008, it's ten years later. This is how these games have been, are, and will be made, and your precious Tim "Love me some Borderlands" Cain wasn't going to be your savior. If you've had particular hang-ups about Kickstarter-era RPGs, perhaps you ought to reassess your negative opinions considering how they've apparently made you forget what mainstream console/multi-platform western role-playing games are like.

 

[TemplarGR]

Nice. Now Codexers get a new game to secretely adore and play all day long for years, only to come here and trashtalk it and call it popamole and say it is decline and call people who openly like this game retards...

If you mean me, I am not complaining about "easy" but about bad.

Not sure why people are already complaining.

You've been here for 2.5 years. Didnt you recognize a pattern by now?

Post-Skyrim has given us Dragon Age Inquisition, Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Mass Effect Andromeda. Do you consider any of those good?

To be fair, the combat looks like Borderlands, which is particularly dumb. Something like ME would've left a better impression here, considering how many users like ME2.

The Tim Cain personality cult thought he'd bring the incline because of uh.... a faithful adaptation of a lousy Dungeons and Dragons module I guess?

Eh, other than the art style and the popping numbers, I don't see it. Borderlands has a faster pace, this is more sluggish Bethesda-style "don't worry, you don't need good reflexes to win" combat.

w3 expacs + dxmd are good

It also has terrible combat, p. forgetable main story, basically no RPG mechanics, character progression less developed and worse than some multiplayer FPS games. It's just a good storyfag & settingfag game.

borderlands did nothing wrong, stop bullying it

As we all know Tod is death in German.

w3, I didn't even realise you meant new deus ex game. I haven't played that one so I cannot comment.

Shit Roguey Says : Borderlands actually needs a pulse to play?
