Absolutely. I haven’t been following this game and I’d be thrilled if it was solid at launch, but we gotta keep CS:2 in mind.

A good man, this Ape.

I should play Skyrim again.

The issues sound patchable to a layman like myself. Embrace patient gaming and enjoy in a month or so.

True other games have had that, but it really wasn’t a goal for Elden Ring and I don’t think it really hinders it. The immersion into a real world was clearly a tentpole design decision for Rockstar in RDR2, but not Fromsoft. Which is fine for you to miss in Elden Ring, I just think we gotta manage expectations sometimes where not every game can have every thing.

I had a similar experience tbh. Never played on release, got it a few months ago with Phantom Liberty, really had to push myself through the first “act” which honestly felt like all preamble. Jackie never felt particularly believable to me as a character, he was honestly kinda annoying with how eager he was and the “one more job and we’re out” trope, then I was clearly supposed to have grown attached because of a montage of our adventures I didn’t get to experience?

I’m glad they’re showing more extended sections of gameplay. I was worried after the last few trailers featured mainly quick cuts between cutscenes and seemingly canned animations. This is shaping up to be promising despite the somewhat worrisome delays.

Maybe! I don’t think there’s a right answer until hindsight shows us how the game does. I can also imagine it has a lot to do with what the folks holding the money think will sell better, a sequel to a poorly received game, or a (potentially) lower risk remake?

The Bioware we knew and loved has been gone a long time. DA2 was hardly Bioware, let alone Inquisition.

To me it’s kinda the perfect game to remake (hopefully it IS remade and not just rereleased) because it had a lot of potential that it just did not live up to. A graphics and content pack would not improve the game much at all, because the let down was the gameplay and mechanics. If they can re-tool that, they may have a solid game here.

Just leave already then, it’s fine.

That’s a very black and white way to look at the world but you do you.

Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn’t need to be phrased as a “warning” though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it’s a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

I think it’s just a matter of trends and design theory. For a long time you couldn’t escape the orange/blue combo like in the Battlefield series artwork. Plus I don’t think all these titles really released at the “same” time.
