Captain Poofter

so excited to throw my shit at grease ghosts again before picking up all my boxes i fucking dropped

subnautica 1 was one of the best games i ever played. below zero was like a less good, James Cameron version of subnautica 1 that sorta forgot it was a survival craft game and focused more on the cinematic experience. subnautica 2…looks full blown James Cameron movie. it literally looks like the scenes underwater in Avatar 2. subnautica 1 was not great because it had aliens or a neat sci fi plot. those were neat extras. it was cool because the nature of the game itself required you to carve your OWN story through the way you chose to survive and progress. the world was your world, not a set piece for a stage play. subnautica 2, from what I’ve seen so far, looks to have completely lost what i first loved about the game. i know the original creator of the concept has long been gone from the development team, and it frankly bums me out how they’ve altered the original vision.

I’m sure it’ll be hugely successful, though. looks like something made for YouTubers more than someone who wants to pick up rocks for 3 hours off the sea floor.

AI is so crazy

would it be good if i don’t like kids movies or care about Minecraft?

never.

wow thanks man! never heard of this

i still haven’t beat 3 because my hands are too big for the wii controls and the boss battles physically hurt my joints. did they ever port it to a normal control scheme?

edit: why did i get down voted lmao

I’ve only met one person in my entire life who has liked these.

Okay, you got me! Hi-fi Rush is a masterpiece of perfection, the others that upvoted my OP are definitely wrong too, and any criticism ever considered by a player is just incorrect, because a lot of people loved it, and things a lot of people love are always perfect.

So sorry for the confusion! Have a good weekend!

Just because things are highly beloved does not mean they aren’t flawed and couldn’t use improvements. Starfield has an 83 on metacritic. Life is Strange an 85. As of right now, only 190 people are playing Hi Fi Rush on Steam. 204 are currently playing Bayonetta, for comparison. I never said the game was a trainwreck or totally unenjoyable, i said i believed it could have been even better if they paid attention to criticisms that put off the people who didn’t enjoy it.

Edit: also just looking at the percentages on the global steam achievements and most people do not even see the ending for a 9 hour game. The achievement for beating it on normal difficulty is …16%.

I’m glad you liked it, but the two camps are definitely “this game is a masterpiece” and “this game combat is overbloated and feels sloppy”. Just check the negative steam reviews, they eco similar sentiments to each other

This game was only good for 4-5 hours, imo. Hi-fi rush was a refreshing concept that attracted attention because it stood out in a sea of similar looking titles that the mainstream has become. But they didn’t follow through on the player feedback for such a creative leap in gameplay. It really shows when they start piling on new gameplay mechanics, and combat stops being fun and becomes a mess of awkward controls and spazzy cameras and frustrating vertically-aligned jumping.

No idea why you got downvoted for being so right, the guy makes schlock

I’m disappointed there will be a subnautica 2. I thought below zero basically ruined the lore of the planet and architects for me. Imo, the planet is done. I don’t care about what happens there anymore. The architects are no longer mysterious or interesting to me after

. I think it’s a huge shame the team is cash grabbing a third entry as opposed to starting a new unrelated title in the same genre.

I realize I’m probably in the minority, good thing down votes don’t matter here.

I never really understood how BioShock got this tag. What about it is an immersive SIM exactly? Bioshock is a linear first person shooter action/stealth game. There’s no other mechanics. You don’t have to survive in any way with food or water. There’s no deep mechanic specific to the world that you need to tend to and maintain. Literally the only thing that comes even close to being that sort of mechanic is the hacking? Is it an immersive sim simply because you can hack things and lock pick? Because I do those things in Nancy Drew games as well, but I’m pretty sure those are just point and click adventure games. I think BioShock is an amazing atmospheric first shooter RPG, but I’ve never understood how people think of it as an immersive simulator.

Ya 2 felt like the panburger partner of BioShock

They don’t sell? I was an older teenager when BioShock 1 came out, and people LOVED shooters? Wtf were they talking about? QUAKE?? Everyone was playing cod or half life 2. Fps was a successful genre already, both single player campaigns and multiplayer. i really don’t get this quote.

Nothing in your response was telling me about the game. All you said is that the game is old and that game’s change over time. Not helpful. P.s. I DID try playing it when it was new.

I have been playing video games for 30 years. Thank you so much for telling me about video games.

Can you give me some quick teaser spoilers or something to reignite my interest? I’ve tried to start this game 3 times and every time i fall off cuz it feels like a clunky Dreamworks movie game
