To me Veilguard felt like they wanted to make a fantasy Destiny game then changed course halfway through. The free roam zones felt like destiny areas, complete with areas where you knew something would spawn but it would be random which types of enemies it would be. Then you’d find a quest swirl or character and press x and it would dump you into a story mission.
But the movement wasn’t as fun as destiny. And I’m guessing trying to cram a fantasy rpg into areas similar to a shooter causes problems with ranged combat, which would also explain the very cramped areas you’re always doing combat in.
Every story mission was also basically a hallway with a bunch of short, dead-end detours containing 1-4 things to pick up that vary between materials, lore, or equipment. It felt like a paint by numbers rpg.
Rook was essentially Master Chief and nothing your team did mattered much except thematically. I watched them beat on weak mobs for a long time without actually killing anything.
I couldn’t always logically connect outcomes to what the game was showing me, either. Like, I lost two team members because I assigned them to do specific jobs (and the game had a pop up pointing out that this was why they died), but the loss seemed completely disconnected from the actual job. It would be like assigning Gale to break a magical ward (because the tooltips and/or dialogue suggests he can do it, and historically he’s a good it), and he does an outstanding job of it, but then some random magic mirror pops up out of nowhere and teleports in a devil to kill him and the game says, “Gale died because you assigned him to break the magical ward.” Like, what does a magic mirror popping up from nowhere have to do with me assigning him to break a ward?
Or choosing to have Halsin to lead a team to create a diversion on the other side of the island so your main team can get Astarion to assassinate Ketheric, but then when you’re face to face with Ketheric, Halsin is there for some reason and Astarion charges up from behind you (head on) and fails his stealth check due to being in front of the enemy, so Halsin starts slapping Ketheric until Ketheric turns around and kills Halsin and gives Astarion an opportunity to sneak attack from the rear.
It also had frustrating bugs sometimes. Like moving my camera to the side when I’m trying to attack something. Or deciding to fire an attack at a nearby enemy that I’m not trying to attack. Or wasting my ultimate because it vanished into the ceiling.
I’ve done both. It just depends on how much money I have at the time. Or whether I’m moving often.
Yes but US conservatives don’t seem to know it.
93% vs 77% doesn’t strike me as polarized. 16% difference?
77% doesn’t even seem that bad if it’s a style of game I like. From about 2001 I used to see sci fi movies that looked interesting as long as they had at least a 25% Rotten Tomatoes score because my tastes were different.
Is there something I’m missing? I haven’t played either game and I haven’t looked at reviews. Won’t buy KCD (no character creation) and probably will eventually buy Avowed.
Sure sounds like Musk is ordering firings, despite the article I saw today saying it’s up to the cabinet and DOGE only makes recommendations.
Five accomplishments in the last week being used to justify entire position? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Big mainstream games that are heavy on sex, like Baldur’s Gate 3, are a recent phenomenon.
Heavy on sex? Just which mods did the author install?
Would’ve been better if you had used a photo with an actual tree instead of a rock.
Her punishment should be at least as bad as the sentences rioters served for breaking into the U.S. capitol. Or maybe that should be the cap since her actions didn’t result in death and weren’t intended as an attempt at insurrection (unless someone that owns Tesla is now considered the head of government).
