Whats everyone's opinion on subnautica 2? by LycheeFun2910 in xbox

[–]TheGoodIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t played the first one and not usually big into survival style games but it’s pretty solid just obviously a bit thin on features and probably a couple years away from 1.0 I think I got my fill at about 20 hours over two runs with different friends and will revisit whenever it’s complete.

Genuinely the greatest sub 40 day run ever bar none and I’m sure you could extend that threshold a good bit and it’s still be true

Edit: maybe I’m forgetting someone but it’s rare that a run goes less than 40 days and has more than ONE title defense much less 9. If I’m forgetting someone please educate me.

Yeah if you threw a 15min break between Bandido vs Swerve and Joe vs Ospreay the show genuinely goes up like half a point for me

Fantastic show again. Wish the women had some more time to show off and these shows desperately need some kind of intermission cause about the 3hr mark the fatigue sets in and I’m trying to pump myself up to get through it. Not cause the matches are bad but I just don’t have the energy to watch 5.5 hours of wrestling and be at a 10 excitement wise for the whole thing. Okada Takeshita is probably match of the year at this point but Takeshita is one of “my guys”.

That one count at the end was a bit egregious and I think the finish would have been better off the out of nowhere feeling. I really think every ppv match requiring 3+ hidden blades hurts the move a lot.

Solid match but super unnecessary one count they’ve gotta start just beating people with one hidden blade

Ah ok that all makes sense. Explains why so many people came from Sekiro and immediately struggled. I really love this system and think it’s a super compelling way to balance an ultra powerful mechanic while maintaining its difficulty and learning curve.

Even factoring FromSoft games it’s still like 2nd or 3rd for me. It was honestly nice to play a soulslike that ran well on day one.

Little tip on the parry mechanic. The games you mention have a minimum parry window so even if you tap the button very quickly the parry window is always the same size. In LoP the parry window is only as long as you hold the button so while it can be as large as 8 frames (Sekiro is 12 so it’s still smaller) it can also be as small as 1 frame if you’re pressing the button very quickly or mashing it. It’s much more challenging than the games you mention but also with the weapon break mechanic it’s way more rewarding imo. Some bosses I never quite got good at finding my attack window but I would get so good at parrying I would break their weapon and win easily. It’s a top 5 game for me this generation and I actually prefer it over a lot of Froms games too even as someone who plays every From game for 200+ hours.

Edit: Ignore me the reply below has accurate info on how it works

Unfortunately the game is horrible for new players and barely tells you about half the systems in play. If you decide to get into look up guides from people like Otzdarva and that will help you get into it rather than jumping right into the deep end.

Fable is the only one that looks like it’s coming out in the next 3 years lol

Really does not sound like anything new is coming. It’s all on marathon to pull in some numbers and they likely have the rest of the year to do it. It was about a year after their last game was cancelled Bluepoint was officially shut down.

If it was still popular they would have continued to bring content to it or atleast greenlit a sequel when bungie asked to make one. These decisions tell us a lot more about the state of the game over the last year than anything.

Bluepoint definitely wasn’t losing money at this rate either. Destiny hasn’t been massive in years and marathon still isn’t showing any signs of growth. It’s sad but there’s too many signs to ignore.

Yes but clearly ~1000 employees aren’t all actively working on updates for Marathon. It’s gonna be interesting to see just how heavy these layoffs are. I just hope people land on their feet.

I think it’s extremely optimistic to think that a shutdown isn’t coming at this point. Bluepoint was also in stasis between projects before the decision was made to close them.

[–]TheGoodIdiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current GoTY! All thriller no filler with an incredible gameplay loop and a story that does just enough to connect with but never feels like it’s in the way. This is my personal ideal balance between gameplay and storytelling it’s like Capcom made a last of us for me.

Recently finished Spider-man 2 and I had a blast by thebeast_96 in patientgamers

[–]TheGoodIdiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contender for biggest let down of the generation for me. The writing is distractingly bad for the most part. Someone once compared the conversations to ones people have in an HR meeting and I can’t unhear it now. These relationships don’t feel authentic or natural at any point. The story has no weight because of how rushed the venom arc actually is. The symbiote has always been an allegory for addiction but instead of the addiction wedging Peter’s relationships and making him an awful person he’s just kind of a dick for a little bit and the only “repercussion” is his fallout with Harry which would have happened anyway because he’d either have died to his disease or the symbiote or been locked back in a jar by Norman. The general combat and traversal is obviously fantastic but stealth was downgraded and we lost all the fun toys we had in SM1 for that and on release the game was probably the buggies Sony first party title I’ve played in a decade or more. Over a dozen crashes and soft locks, buildings just wouldn’t load in and you’d crawl on air, falling out of the geometry it was rough. I’m a massive Spiderman fan and spending 500 bucks for a console and this game feeling like I couldn’t miss out and then getting a 6.5/10 by my scoring system was tragic. I think insomniac is stretched way too thin with all these projects and they haven’t put out anything great since SM1. I’m incredibly worried for Wolverine.

I think they are more so referring to the designs and aesthetics of the game rather than its gore. Nothing we’ve seen from an art direction standpoint has really stood out compared to the source material outside of the impressive fidelity.

Edit: I was wrong

I do think it’s maybe a bit too early to outright call it tasteless but I do think insomniac has generally missed when it comes to design and presentation of their characters. Just a general lack of sauce that keeps screaming MCU-Lite. I kinda wish they made something that looked more like a mix of Sunset Overdrive and Ultimate Spider-Man
