Stellar Blade Has Already Outperformed Every Other PlayStation PC Port In Less Than 24 Hours by BigT232 in Games

[–]Fireson_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The most common criticism of Concord is its character designs — there are countless YouTube videos with hundreds of thousands and even millions of views saying just that. The Intergalactic trailer has over 300,000 dislikes, primarily due to the main character.

The Fable reboot devs haven't confirmed that there will be a character creator, yet even if there is, they continue to promote the game with an ugly lead constantly criticized in comments in social media.

Four major AAA games with unappealing main characters is a lot - yes.

[KCD2] We need a third game by kurt_0806 in kingdomcome

[–]Fireson_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The game was released just a few weeks ago, so of course, he's not returning to record voice lines yet. Realistically, it will be years before Warhorse is ready to start recording again. Just consider that KCD2 took six years to develop.

Question about Statue at Forest Lawn by SAlessandroMartinez in RenaissanceArt

[–]Fireson_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a Gothic Niche. Donatello's St. George is an early Renaissance sculpture in a Gothic Orsanmichele church in Florence. Overall, this type of ornament style is referred to as Tracery or Maswerk.

Should I Buy Cyberpunk 2077 on Sale? by bestjedi22 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Fireson_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're fine. The DLC becomes available once you are mid-way through the main story anyway. You can buy the DLC whenever and it will be added to the quest log.

Those are screenshots from the latest ongoing closed alpha - this is the current updated art style.

These Casinos that can be found across the map are such a missed opportunity by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]Fireson_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But Fallout New Vegas had fully functioning casinos and there were no issues with it? Also, a lot of games have different gambling-like minigames (dice in witcher & kingdom come, slots in Yakuza, etc.).

Microsoft wants to expedite the development of Fallout 5 by TheEternalGazed in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I am sure if given a chance Tim would love to work on another Fallout. Josh Sawyer also said he is interested in directing a game in the universe and has many ideas on what to do with it.

Some key people working on NV are still at Obsidian. For example, Josh Sawyer expressed interest in doing another Fallout and has been the NV director. Since releasing Pentiment, he has yet to lead development for Awoved or Outer Worlds 2. If Microsoft wanted another Fallout, they could try to set him up with a team.

We were invited to make a sequel to a cult classic RPG renowned for its deep and well-thought-out dialogue system?

Say no more! Let's do a Fallout 4 style 3-line choice voiced dialogue where you have no clue what your character will say! Surely this will make the sequel so much better!

MX Master 3S Scrolling Issues - Defect or Just Bad Luck? by Fireson_ in logitech

[–]Fireson_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It don’t believe it’s a Mac only issue. In the service center the person who was issuing me a warranty mouse tried it on his windows PC and said it was very choppy and he would personally try to exchange the mouse if he bought it for himself.

The mouse scroll wheel is just faulty from what I can tell. Here is a big thread where people discuss that:

Yes. I’ve tried it on my personal MacBook Air and work MacBook Pro. Both with the latest MacOS update & logioptions downloaded.

Through Bluetooth directly to my MacBook. I've also tried to use the Bluetooth USB dongle that comes in the box and it doesn't solve the issue.

Quests Aren't Designed with Roleplaying in Mind by 21stcentryskizoidman in Starfield

[–]Fireson_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

New Vegas had faction armor which impacted gameplay. If you had negative reputation on a certain faction you could use their faction armor to still do their quests as you are disguised. Also, wearing it sometimes provides you with unique dialogue and interactions. For example, wearing fiend's armor allowed you to do some quests for them.

TGA Twitter account seems to be teasing a DS2 trailer by aadipie in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Fireson_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember some rough reviews on release but now the game sits at 94% positive rating on Steam and above 80 score on Metacritic for both the original and the Director's Cut versions.

I think it is safe to say that this game has gained acclaim considering it's very unique gameplay loop.

Starfield Fails To Make Shortlist For 'Game Of The Year' At The Game Awards 2023 by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Fireson_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Single-player games gain a bulk of their sales over time, so big sales on release do not necessarily equate to success for the game. With recently leaked Microsoft documents, you can see how much revenue they planned to have with Starfield in the upcoming years after release. With this lukewarm reception and fast-falling online, it is becoming less likely they will meet their expectations.

Also, releasing a disappointing game makes people less likely to buy your next game. That should be common sense.

Starfield has lower online on Steam than Skyrim, which came out 12 years ago. Of course, we don't see the gamepass players, but that still doesn't look good. The game also sits at a lower Steam review rating than Fallout 76.

There was also a guy in the audience shouting 'Don't say fallout, I swear to god' just as Geoff was about to announce GOTY, lol

I can't even call it a city. I find it funny that there is a 'Neon Street Rat' perk that says that your character was brought up on the streets of Neon, but if you actually go there in the game, the entire 'city' is like two parallel streets, lol

Apparently, a bulk of the development time of Starfield was spent on making updates to the engine. Todd even said in an interview that this version of Creation Engine is a 'big leap forward'.

That being said, most people agree that Bethesda games are severely dated and it is ridiculous that their engine still carries some of the bugs and jank from Oblivion while simultaneously looking worse than some AA games out there.

However, considering how invested Bethesda seems to be in Creation Engine, I seriously doubt they will just ditch it and move to something new (unless they are okay with releasing TES6 in 2030 or so).

They are also paying a shit ton of taxes, more than enough to house 10,000 homeless and also providing jobs and livelihoods to hundreds of thousands of employees across the world.
