Where’s the established franchise to coast upon?
Isn’t this game a spiritual successor to Black Desert Online made by the same dev?

From videos I have seen of this game, it kinda makes me think of Dragon’s Dogma 2 but bigger and without the Pawn system. And probably not shitty? 🤷♂️
Kinda wanna check it out, but I’m not sure how it’ll run on my PC. Especially since it uses Denuvo which in my experience causes tons of performance related problems until the devs strip it out.


“-Likes” could literally be a genre of its own with video games. So many derivatives of something that was original/a better take on the original that they don’t even get an actual genre name unless it stays around for like 20+ years, and even then is no guarantee. We’re lucky First-Person Shooter isn’t just called “Doom-like.” Or “Action RPG” getting coined at all because people were sick of calling games like that “Diablo clones.”


It says the operators are unknown, but also failed to appear in court. If they don’t even know who the operators are, how would they supoena them to come to court in the first place? 🤨


All the fucking idiots in charge of running game companies need to step back, literally fuck their own faces, and then let someone with fresh ideas take over. Doing the same god damn thing as everyone else who failing to succeed at except the one game that did it best/first isn’t the play, and never fucking will be.


They’ll be paid either way. They make the sales, they earn the bonus. They don’t make the sales, they’ll probably be awarded the bonus plus punitive damages from the lawsuit they basicslly already won since it’s very apparent the publisher sabotaged the development of the game specifically to not have to pay the developers the bonus in their contract.
The court is literally waiting to see what happens with the sales before deciding a verdict.


I’m too twitchy for gyro aim to be better than just using the sticks. My crosshair would just be jiggling all over 😔
Obsidian was never owned by Bethesda, tho they became a subsidary of Xbox Game Studios in 2018.
They have always kinda been an “on commission” type studio. Before The Outer Worlds 1, I don’t even know of any Obsidian developed game that wasn’t part of another big dev/publisher’s series (a lot of their titles are sequels).
That’s pretty low for a AAA game lol


FO4 is almost there if you play it in Survival mode.


The point is to get super high and hang out on toxic planets for the trippy colors.


Shattered Horizon was fucking sick as hell until they started messing with classes and eventually just broke the game entirely. It was a NASA Punk zero G FPS made by a benchmark app company with fairly realistic bullet physics. Balance was basically just using the shotgun mode on your gun since you’re in space there’s no drop or damage falloff making it able to snipe a wall of bullets at people a few kilometers away 🤣


At least you can turn off Steam’s startup ads. I forgot those even were a thing until you mentioned it since I haven’t seen them in years.


That would be dope. And it’s not like they couldn’t pull it off either; this is the same dev that gave us Max Payne. Now I am imagining Jesse diving and slowing down time while kicking Hiss ass. 🤣


It really is insane how there really aren’t a whole lot of 6DOF games when Descent was such a huge success. The only way to really get that kinda action most of the time is with space sims like Elite Dangerous; and it’s not really the same being out in open space vs tiny mine shafts and cramped space stations.


We almost had an OTS shooter set in StarCraft’s universe… I wonder what life would have been like if Ghost actually came out in 2005. 🤔
So I got a bug in my butt to install Mortal Kombat 11 last night and was doing the story mode which is basically like a movie with intermittent fights and it occurred to me that I love Mortal Kombat but just the characters, the worldbuilding, and the lore. I’ve never been big on fighting games and as I age, I am finding it harder and harder to pull off special combos quick enough to even do much other than slapping buttons and hoping for the best.
My favorite MK game was one of the ones on PS2 where the story mode was basically God of War gameplay turning it from a fighter into an action adventure game.
If Midway were to make a Mortal Kombat title that was like Dark Souls but set on Outworld or something, that would definitely be my jam.
Another would be Warhammer 40k. I am not at all interested in the PnP gameplay nor a lot of the video games. But I love the lore and the game Rogue Trader is fucking dope, playing more like a traditional CRPG in that setting and not an RTS or straight up shooter.
Do y’a have any games like that? Where you like everything about them except the actual gameplay?


Because they only have Playstation consoles and keep their eyes and ears shut to anything not on Playstation, so they haven’t heard how bad of a game it is.
