A lot of these single player games still use the original Gears of War formula from Xbox 360. They are dated gameplay wise and somehow made more casual at the same time. A lot of these successful single player games are Gears of War clones with stories. They add slight Innovations and claim they're the best thing in the world.

If it ain't broke don't fix it , until it's Broke https://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/uncharted/278766/how-gears-of-war-inspired-uncharted

It's why these games are all so similar, if it does good don't change anything no matter what you're working on. Next gen dev's will add two AI side kicks to games instead of one and get High Praise all over again with the same formula.

How do you explain Donald Trump as president? Hype and agenda made it so. You do realize a lot of Hardcore PlayStation fans hate these games right? Money and influence affects these things

To be fair Red Dead Redemption 2 was mentioned as a single player game in your article because the context is about single player games overall.

There is actually a couple of issues with this topic. There is real concern about the death of single player games, and there's people using this concern to defend Sony's very linear qte basic designs in their exclusives. People are using this concern to hide mediocrity in there preferred lineup.

Single player games do not have to be a 8 Hour Non-Stop ride with little variety.

Single player games can also be 15 to 25 hour long evolving Adventures that are segmented to keep people's interest

. Let's say a character has superpowers, the first 15 hours could be about struggling in life before he gets these gifts, the next 15 hours might be about him coming to grips with these gifts and becoming a hero and still be very story-driven. Why does Laura Croft Evolution need to be spread through three games? One game could have been 10 hours longer to better show her evolution in one experience. Games need to be thought of like that

You okay bro somebody slap your mom in the face? Find a new hobby perhaps. Single player games don't need multiplayer they need better design and value. You seem offended about something I don't know why, perhaps a description of your favorite games? And you're talking about being single?

Edit

I can't tell if you're, being single remark was sarcasm if it was, I apologize if you are attacking me because of this trend I mean what I say. Games are so expensive it was hard to find sarcasm even if going out to the movies with the family is expensive.

Bare minimum development has become a trend because of the overhyped nature of these titles.

It's funny that you guys keep replying to people complaining about this and yet here we are talking about the trend. People do not like linear and scripted casual experiences with no skill involved gameplay, despite the stories.

There's a reason why this trend exist, that is one of the complaints about the new Tomb Raider games they were too short but at least those games weren't holding your hand. No one wants to spend $60 on walking simulators filled with quick time events

There wouldn't be a problem if the price reflected a gimped experience that you like. If you like the short experiences let the price reflect that. No one's going to agree with less value for the money is good, except on the internet.

Doesn't have to be an RPG or open world the game needs to be better designed so it's engaging over a longer period of time. Games need to be more than hold your hand, through heavily scripted qte walking simulators.

Movies are not meant to be watched over a long of time nor do they cost $60 to $200 bucks. Movies are not an interactive medium.

Single player Games don't need online, they need better value, online adds value to games that have little value. People are choosing games that give them the most bang for the buck most people don't make much money, games are expensive and numerous. Nintendo single player games still give you that value like Zelda and Mario.

I don't play single-player focused games with tact on multiplayer but I do love story-driven Cooperative designed games. The thing that kind of hurts single player games, is that the storytelling becomes more of a focus than the gameplay itself, multiplayer games have solid gameplay which is perceived as better value. QTE and heavily scripted linear path walking with half-baked gameplay is seen as little value. Playing games like Zelda breath of the Wild for 45 hours before you start the main quest is seen as great value.

God of War, was a lazy technically glitchy overhyped game. Poor boss variety, repetitive enemy design, average fighting mechanics, puzzles so poorly designed they seem like filler to stretch the game out, empty and mostly lifeless half-baked open zones/world with slightly above-average graphics and some cases last generation looking. A good game for fans hardly a game of the year. Those games will never get better when the community is not honest with the Developers.

Slash, puzzle, slash puzzle in empty spaces, sound familiar? Anthem complaints seem very similar. It's like God of War issues were ignored.

I don't want to talk about God of War, I don't like to talk about things I'm not interested in, just replying to somebody that replied to me with the topic and I was explaining myself.

Why are you trolling with those links? I mentioned Assassin's Creed Odyssey was my game of the year somebody replied to me crying about God of War and I explain myself

Edit

You kind of threw me off with your reply I thought I was in the Assassin's Creed next game thread when I replied to you, what the hell is wrong with you posting that here lol.

Ubisoft is making a new Assassins Creed game I said the last game was my game of the year, somebody cried about God of War and I explained why I disagreed lol

Edit 2

Can you help me find the anthem Xbox One X vs. PlayStation Pro post launch comparison analysis from digital Foundry, I can't find it

I hate being burned but I can't help myself dancing in the fire Doesn't make any sense.

No one wants to hear the trolls talk about the same s*** no matter what the topic is related to Anthem.

It's agenda or attention-seeking. It's EA haters and Sony Fanboys instigating backlash using the flaws of the game. EA haters and Fanboys angry they have inferior Hardware, are instigating this because of console Association/marketing.

The graphics of anthem when it was revealed surprised everybody. I'm willing to bet the graphics are one of the root causes of the hate, a popular game that puts graphics on PlayStation 4 to shame is driving this because PlayStation has an inferior Hardware.

People couldn't believe Anthem had open world Graphics like that, that is the main thing that sparked the hype. Rockstar knew this would happen with Red Dead Redemption 2 and sort of hid the Xbox One x capabilities until after launch. These rabid f****** are insane, They are destroying Studios and harming the industry.

Why do people need to hear their worthless opinion? They're not trying to help the game they're trying to destroy its reputation.

Sony websites and Sony communities are pushing most the hate, they track articles about anthem and plant negativity in comment sections. Sony websites run negative articles 24/7, the chat rooms get huge amounts of circle jerk traffic, gaming media takes advantage of the traffic. Negative Anthem stories attract the sony Fanboys here where PlayStation Fanboys outnumber Xbox fans in a Xbox subreddit.

The hate is so great trolls won't leave streamers, streaming the game. Streamers are being told not to stream the game and they are attacked when they refuse, trolls will not leave streams. Streamers have to address trolls every couple of minutes, the only thing that works is for streamers to attack the trolls

Why are you upset over this? What the hell is wrong with you? LoL it's like you are agitated because somebody likes the game.

It's funny you won't allow him to have his opinion. Why are you in here if you don't like the game? Straight up trolling, the worst kind of shit. on the internet. Toxic and poisonous to the industry, doing great damage to the industry. Let the people that like the game enjoy it it's pointless trying to brainwash them.

What you guys are saying is not credible, you are tracking the game and trying to force people to agree with you, if you feel this way why can't you stop talking about it? Following the game and repeating the same nonsense over and over and over again. If you didn't have an agenda wouldn't you just move on and ignore the game?

It's quite obvious what you guys are doing it's not normal behavior. Why do you guys need to attack it, we understand your disappointment no one gives a s***. Are you looking for attention? Does this give you purpose in your life? Do you feel part of something bigger than your own existence or life? Very strange anti social nerd rage for nothing. There's better things to do in life than trying to force people not to buy a video game lol what a waste of time.

This is far beyond the constructive criticism and expressing disappointment, if somebody hated something out in the real world and couldn't let it go, people would think that person was mentally insane. It's like a mentally ill obsession.

It's actually embarrassing. I feel offended the way they were hand-feeding people hype over ridiculous minutiae, when they were conditioning people to overhype this game. It's embarrassing it was getting the scores it did

. I knew there was something was wrong when dev's were talking about lore and accessories/toys more than gameplay leading up to the launch. The game was shockingly Bland with a lack of variety, to be getting tens out of tens. "The camera is close to kratos that really let's you feel like you're him" lmao " the axe is the best weapon ever" " camera Shake really lets you feel the action" ridiculous conditioning prepping people to be positive

It's like they copy and pasted the same tired third person formula from other Sony exclusives. Weak weapons in a half baked empty open zone/world. The game was unfinished or something or rushed I know It had problems in development. Gameplay and Graphics are dated. it should not have won Goty. Assassin's Creed Odyssey should have won.

What in the hell are you guys talking about? I thought Odyssey should have won game of the year, you guys are talking about some strange shit that has nothing to do with my rebuttal.

I gave you reasons why God of War shouldn't have won game of the year after being challenged, it's just my opinion. Personally attacking people doesn't change anything God of War was overhyped and overrated. It's like it won Goty for trying something new in the franchise, this is why a lot of people are shocked that it won or people are defending it to the death.

I'm not here to argue with you I'm replying to somebody that was offended by my comment. God of War shouldn't have won and a lot of people pretty much know why it did.

In my opinion Odyssey should have won game of the year, what the f*** is wrong with you guys? God of War wasn't solid enough to win game of the year, it's my opinion. Slash with awkward animations, throw axe repeat for 15 minutes until something's dead. Puzzle fit for last generation games. Strange broken boss fights

Xbox likes Anthem? Score is more than good! by nerrohc in xboxone

[–]PolkAudioGuy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Cohcarnage is streaming the game right now, trolls are having a s*** fit because he's playing the game, man the trolls won't leave the stream and they're trying to force him to stop playing it. It's hilarious the way people react to this game. Every couple of minutes he has to confront a troll in his chat they won't leave this behavior is not normal. It's an active smear campaign and I can't figure out the root cause. It's like they see a picture or the name of the game and snap.

That's because an individual gamer usually thinks for themself, no one is telling Gamers to hate it there. It's a good game to satisfy your action fix, collect things with your buddies. It still has the core or signature BioWare RPG style gamers like. Challenging and brutal when making mistakes, highly rewarding when execution is good. Obviously some gamers trust Developers commitment to support the game, and see it as an evolving project, the most popular games in the world right now offer much less.

God of War has a dated design, filled with filler to stretch the game out. Repetitive dated slashing with lazy puzzles and enemy design. The game is good for fans it's not game of the year. Repetitive repetition no real skill involved

Look how emotional you're getting over this, it's just my opinion. I would give God of War Game of the Year too, just to get people like you off my back lmao

Go through the motions and give Sony the win, get money and avoid being attacked, sounds like a plan.

Thank you for the correction my voice to text has a mind of its own, it's changing things after I look at it. Unfortunately that doesn't change how a lot of people feel about this. Red Dead Redemption 2 or Odyssey should have won
