General Gaming Discussion

Watch Dogs is another that I've pretty much lost interest in... have you guys hear the latest controversy surrounding it? I guess some new game trailer for it got released a week ago or something, and it turns out the game is actually looking worse graphically than it did at it's reveal (that showed supposed in-game footage at the time) over a year ago. Anyway, looks like Ubisoft was blowing some smoke up our asses when they were showing off the fancy effects, and now they can't pull it off. I doubt this will be as bad as the Aliens: Colonial Marines fiasco, but it's not looking good so far.

Oops.

This is the trailer.

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where people bitch about a game that visually looks that good. Especially coming from the developer responsible for some pretty solid but eye-bleedy games last gen.

Graphics whores will eternally confound me.

Yeah, but what I've seen of DA3 seems fairly promising and it's kinda open world-ish, so no more walking around the same fucking city and the same copy-pasted caves, hopefully. Combat system is also less anime compared to DA2. Game also has dragons, Morrigan and Alistair.

To be honest though I doubt TW3 really gives a fuck about the delay, it's gonna come out and blow everyone's mind regardless of the year.

People bitch about the graphics of the new Thief being too last-gen. Which looks gorgeous imo.

Gamers these days, etc.

I assume we've all seen this. Like it give me hope, but I can't help but be wary. I've never heard anyone describe the combat as anime but, yeah that's pretty spot on.

And yeah, I fully expect TW3 to please everyone's boners.

Withcher 3 will no doubt be awesome. I'm glad they're taking extra time to tighten it up and make it great. CD Projekt seem to have their shit together, DA3 though i won't be holding my breath for. 2 was such a letdown, they better do something crazy with this one to get my attention. And the majority of the game better not be hidden behind a paywall either since I know that's EA's new thing.

More than likely, there will be like 9000 microtransaction dlc packs or what have you.

Shit you are so right sometimes Gare... I shouldn't be surprised though. :/

The very first Watch Dogs trailer was great stuff but the final product is going to be a train wreak of epic proportions. lol ubisoft, right?

It does seem to be doomed in that road! Not that I was interested in it anyway...

$1.99 for a different colored shirt

Nah, if they're smart they'll make it like Dungeon Keeper Mobile. You can play the game for 10 minutes then either pay $1 to play another 10 or wait for an hour for the game clock to reset

I hate it when I'm right.

And the whole "is being considered" phrasing doesn't sit well with me at all...

That game does seem pretty sweet since its from inticreates.

Good news crusher

On another note, it sure seems like PCSX2, Desmume, Dolphin, PPSSPP sure have advanced greatly in such a short period of time.

In other good (or bad?) news, IGA has left Konami to start his own business. I can smell an upcoming Metroidvania kickstarter!
