Uh what about God Of War V or Battlefield VI or Call of Duty XXVI

Every new "game" is like the exact same thing I've been playing 15 years ago

Don't forget the basically tie in bundle game they released this year that they charge $70 for, what a great value! And the console only came out 5 years ago!

Shit my refusal to spend more a minute and vibes for bits has led me astray once more agony-wholesome

From what I've seen of it from watching GDQ streams Astrobot is basically the only 3d platformer that's actually improved on the genre in 20 years. It's also the most painfully cringe thing ever in terms of the narrative and the flavor of the content. A dev team went and made the only good modern day 3d platformer but wrapped it up in the packaging of a shitty toy commercial cartoon.

huh i wonder if there have been years where the best short film was a superbowl advertisement.

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Sure, but they need to release more than like one game a year for it.

God of War is a weird one to throw in given its Renaissance

[–] fox@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

it's a legitimately good game but it's also an ongoing Intellectual Property instead of something new.
