Sony Is there an Animal Crossing-like game for PS4
XxEvil AshxX replied to GameDadGrant's topic in The Spawn Point
Stardew Valley is probably the best value, but its pretty deep. How old is your son? -
Nevermind, it just looks like Blizzard is gonna take Path of Exile's cosmetic microtransactions and still make us pay for expansions. "Let's see... how do we make people believe Diablo IV is better than Path of Exile? I know! We'll do everything Path of Exile does, but make people pay for it! And when the expansions come out, we'll make them pay for those too! It's perfect!" I'm not saying PoE is perfect, but it's pretty good. And Blizzard doesn't seem to be the least bit concerned with garnishing some goodwill for themselves. They could easily make expansions free, in exchange for cosmetic mtx and ya know, paying for the game in the first place.

General Gaming D1P's games of the decade
XxEvil AshxX replied to ShreddieMercury's topic in The Spawn Point
Ugh.. trying to remember everything I've played in a decade is impossible. What's crazy is that I started my video game blog in 2010 and was writing about all this stuff, but at one point I tried to migrate the database from one host to another and it didn't go well and I lost everything. Man, I'd love to have had a full decade's worth of my own useless videogame bullshit to dig through. -
General Gaming Just Cause 4 | Official Thread of No Solace in Solís
XxEvil AshxX replied to Pikachu's topic in The Spawn Point
The ironic thing is that Ghost Recon Wildlands almost out-Just-Caused Just Cause. If there would've been explodable oil tankers everywhere you could've just slapped a new Just Cause title on it and called it a day.- 31 replies

PC Please state your PC specs in this thread
XxEvil AshxX replied to Mr.Vic20's topic in The Spawn Point
400Mhz Pentium II (with MMX), 128 MB SDRam, 13GB hard drive, 56K external modem, and Sounblaster Pro. Rocking dual iomega ZIP Drives and a SNAPPY jacked into my parallel port for full frame 640x480 video image capture. But I only use that one for my graphics work. My regular PC is a piece of shit. -
General Gaming Edge celebrates the 12 defining games of the decade
XxEvil AshxX replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Spawn Point
Also.. I have to be a Gone Home hater... that game was way overrated. I was on board the entire game until the.. i don't know what to call it.. finale? revelation? I don't know. I get what they were trying to do but I feel like a very mediocre game with a lame story got a pass just because of its theme. -

You have to admit though, without PUBG, Fortnite wouldve just been a shitty horde mode that nobody ever cared about. -

Where's Battlefront II? Surely that had an impact on the industry -
General Gaming Just Cause 4 | Official Thread of No Solace in Solís
XxEvil AshxX replied to Pikachu's topic in The Spawn Point
JC4 has been on Game Pass for a while and I've tried to get into it a few times. It's just... not fun. Which I never thought I'd hear myself say of a Just Cause game. I enjoyed the hell out of JC2 and even JC1, despite it being pretty basic. I just don't know.. there's something that doesn't mesh well in this game. I don't know if it's the way they re-purposed the destruction, or if it's the fact that most areas are walled off until you expand your resistance and "unlock" them... but the world just feels really artifical and disconnected. Something is just... off... Is it just me?- 31 replies

Those four words carry a whole lot of uneasy connotation there. One of the main reasons that Sony's first party games have been as good as they are was because they had the time to work on them. The development cycle of each of their big games were what, 5+ years? This makes it sound like they want to start cranking them out, Ubisoft-style.

I owned a lot of movie tie-ins over the years. Goldeneye - N64 Batman Returns - SNES Alien 3 - SNES 007: Everything or Nothing (not a movie per se, but used Pierce Brosnan's likeness and they treated it like it was a movie) - Xbox Lord of the Rings movie games - Xbox Die Hard Trilogy - PS1 Robocop - NES One of the Harry Potter games, I think it was Order of the Phoenix - Xbox 360 Total Recall - NES I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Not all of them were good, but most of them were at least playable. Except for Rambo, which I played at a friend's house. Fuck that game. Strangely enough I do remember playing a Terminator game on SNES but I don't know which one it was. I remember it was hard as hell though. EDIT: It was Robocop vs Terminator!

General Gaming Your magazine is at 15/20. Do you wait or reload?
XxEvil AshxX replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Spawn Point
I never reload till I'm in the middle of a firefight. That's just how I roll. -
That's what I was getting at. If Diablo IV is going to have an online "shared open world," I'm assuming it's going to be very similar to Path of Exile in structure. To be fair, PoE is way better than any F2P game has a right to be, and they've been pretty successful with their setup, despite their mtx shop being probably one of the most passive and unintrusive ones on the market. The question is, will Diablo IV do it well enough to charge $60+ for a game that will inevitably be compared to one that is free?

Honestly, I don't want any remasters. Most of the developers that made the great games EA published have been either killed off or don't even resemble themselves anymore. Don't remind us of what used to be. Just learn how to make good games again. I'm starting to think that EA doesn't even know how to make a good game anymore, hence the remasters.

This all seems very... artificial. Just a month or two ago Ubisoft was all-in on the big, open world, "live service" model. Now two of their games have flopped (or "flopped" in the case of Division 2) and they're scrambling to right the ship under the guise of "hey all our stuff needs to be unique." I see their next few games being conservative until they can win back the good will and then they'll start doing the same shit all over again. HOWEVER.. I'm actually hoping that Ubi realizing that not every game can sustain that kind of model will give them the kick in the ass they needed to go back to "smaller," more focused projects like Splinter Cell, Rayman, Prince of Persia, Blazing Angels, and maybe even some deliberately designed tactical games like.. oh.. i dunno... Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six. I really miss the old Ubisoft.
