The non-ME3 games recently enjoyed by ME3MPrs

Thanks bruh.

It's an indie game and face animations are just awesome.BioWare can learn something.Yes the puzzles are the main thing,but gameplay is fun.For an indie game is just great.

The team behind Hellblade is small 11-12 developers and they didn't have financial support from the Ninja Theory.At least not big.They do work in NT,but it's a side project.Would have been good if it was AAA game with a big budget,but for its money is not a bad game IMO.

Playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. Buggy and cheesy in places, but it's a true RPG

So I just finished Hellblade after taking a break from it for a few days after starting it. Can't say I enjoyed it very much unfortunately. There is a lot of good stuff in there like the whole premise of the game, the art and sound design, the overall atmosphere for the most part, and the very well animated facial expressions like muahmuah mentioned before. On the other hand the technical executing wasn't flawless but I kinda fixed it although I had to play with screentearing as a result.

What made this game annoying though was the actual gameplay. For the most part it's a walking simulator and there is not that much to see and explore and getting from one point to the next gets boring quickly. Running isn't really running so it takes quite a while. Then there's the puzzles which also get boring quickly because they are so repetitive. At one point one of the voices said something along the lines "stupid runes, only keeping us from moving on" or something like that and I was like "yeah, exactly". It's not that I don't like puzzles at all, I love most of the stuff in the Darksiders dungeons, the 3 main God Of War games and some totally different games like Portal. But here it's basically the same stuff over and over again. Then there is the fighting and what can I say... at first I was like "finally, some action... please give me more" because there was so little of it. But you have the same like 4 types of enemies and the combat system is not that good. It basically came down do parrying and counter-attacking or dodging and attacking. And by that I mean mostly button mashing instead of doing specific and varied combos. No way to level up or upgrade anything, no unlocking of new moves and such. Just the same stuff all the time with enemies just taking more and more hits (if you play on auto difficulty). Also there was some kind of automatic lock-on mechanism active and I can't count the times I wanted to focus on another enemy type first but the game just would not let me. This also affected dodging and was super annoying. Then after basically breezing through every fight without dying once the game throws this awesome looking boss at you and while his attacks were pretty easy to dodge as well he throws this bullshit "everything goes dark-redish" move on you. Sometimes it wasn't a big deal, other times it basically did not stop and I wasn't able to do much. Aside from the fact that he can only be damaged under certain circumstances it took like I don't know how many hundred hits to finally beat him. Too bad, because I actually liked the scene and would have loved the fight if it wasn't so poorly done. Same goes for the end that follows shortly after... all of a sudden the game throws a lot of fights and enemies at you and it's not hard - just tedious. And I was thinking "did you guys notice there was barely any fighting in the first 1 or 2 thirds of the game and now you have to deplete your wave budget or something...". And at the very end I fought for like half an hour until I actually googled to find out what's up with the fight and for how long these enemies are respawning and found out you have to die intentionally there. Enemies just keep respawning endlessly. Could have fought for hours I guess. What bullshit was that... I get that they want you to die, but again: it was just poorly done and there are much better games to do it. Other games have done so.

Sooooo... a bit sad about all this which is why I'm writing all this down. Because like I said at first: there is quite some great stuff there and it kinda feels like wasted potential to me. They should have put more resources into this game and make it truly awesome. Now I'm just pissed that there still hasn't been a good PS4 Pro price deal available because now I REALLY want to play the new God Of War game as soon as possible.

You mean "Mass Warframe: Zero Destiny"? Seen the trailer and the gameplay and it looks just like the title I gave it. Mass Effect featuring Warframe meets Horizon Zero Dawn and Destiny. Not too hyped unfortunately. But we'll see. At least not lootboxes (they intend to do microtransactions however I read).

So here's an interview with ME producer on Anthem, Andromeda and future of ME, along with Anthem gameplay video showcasing ridiculously HUGE DAMAGE NUMBERS...

Doesn't say really much, but guy seems to like all things Bioware (as expected). Also game looks ok.

I'm personally more looking forward to new Metro, Rage 2 and Beyond Good and Evil 2; highly doubt that BW will ever produce anything close to story drive od ME1/ME2 or tight MP combat of ME3, but at least they're still in the game.

If Cyberpunk is at the same level as TW series,then the game will be GOTY.I believe in CD RED.The only studio which doesn't have a bad game.BioWare onace were the same..Also does anyone know something more about Greedfall?The game looks interesting.I am interested also in new Metro,Code Vein.Tried Vampyr and the game is not bad.I didn't expect much.IMO the game is fun.The story is good.Con is the difficult lacking.At least i don't have troubles to kill everything including the bosses,but i am only at the beggining,so i hope it will get harder later.

Better play NIOH on PS4.PC port is not bad,but you should play a little with the menus.If you are not a souls-like games fan,better skip NIOH.I enjoyed it,but i like this kind of games Prey is not a bad game.

After spending several hours with various videos and articles dissecting trailer and journalist-only demo gameplay, I just want to play that game. So. Badly. It's like Gibson's neon-chrome dream coming alive, dashed with GTA and Deus Ex, made by one of arguably coolest pc devs... Gotta ask my wife to put me into cryopod and thaw me when it launches!

Well I guess the sky over Chiba Night City isn't enough of the color of television tuned to a dead channel

While I do hold Gibson (and Sterling and Stephenson...) in high regard, CDPR surely know how to handle their world building. Having read all the fantastic novels from Wiedzmin/Zaklínač/Witcher series and having played all three fantastic games, I can't decide which one are better. Go CDPR!
