Spiritual investors need to be killed

looks like a clone of get out but for streamers to basedface over, how is this supposed to appeal to anyone who actually likes playing good video games.

>>712891000 (OP)
i hope they didn't spend too much money on this inevitable flop, i'd hate for Remedy to go under

>only 5 missions
>only 6 weapons
When will devs realise that releasing a live service game with no content and adding everything later is a bad strategy since 99% of people won't come back to it after a couple of weeks.

>>712891000 (OP)
Well this shits going to flop.

>>712891478
yeah, I don't think literally anybody asked for this eiter

>>712891534
It's coming out in a couple of hours and it's not even on steams 500 top sellers list like at all...

>>712891000 (OP)
I love every game Remedy has made, and Control is my favorite of them all, so I will be playing and enjoying this.

Is this the thread where everybody pretends this game hasn't been hyped for 2 years like Mindseye and this is the first you heard of it?

Reminder that it's free on PSN Extra, faggots. Played the beta and it's surprisingly fun.

>>712891726
No this is the thread where that's true and no one has heard of this shit before.

>>712891000 (OP)
I still like remedy but my latest laptop has a truly awful network card or wireless antenna or whatever those things are and I don't feel like paying for online on a console so I'm skipping it.

>>712891000 (OP)
Sheeeit, I wanted to buy remedys next game because I leeched the last 3 and they were fine but not sure if I want to play Deep Control Wakelactic

>>712891754
Psn is not free retard

>it's a Remedy game
WHAT THE FUCK
WHERE IS CONTROL 2

>>712891000 (OP)
i remember seeing some early access reviews that it doesnt have enough maps, probably wont be getting it until next year

>>712891754
It is? Well that makes things easy.

>>712891829
It’s free the same way healthcare is :^)

>>712891000 (OP)
i don't play multiplayer games. at all.

>>712891000 (OP)
>Firebreak
I remember seeing the trailer like last week but I had no idea it was from Remedy.

>>712891883
I see 4 multiplayer games here

>>712891000 (OP)
>>712891095
I'll give it a chance cause it's on game pass

>>712891000 (OP)
>5 missions
Why the fuck they are keep doing this ? NMRIH 2 also did the same thing but with only 1 map

>>712891726
Can't speak for others but I don't recall ever hearing about this.

>>712891929
the trailer that said you fight the hiss in the oldest house from control?

>>712891726
I fucking love Remedy yet I've only heard of the name Firebreak a few times and never knew it was a Remedy game.

>>712891000 (OP)
Weird. I'm a finfag and haven't heard about this game. Normally they would blast this shit everywhere.

>>712891000 (OP)
>hyped
no
>interested
Yeah a little. I mean I liked Control. And I like coop. And it's Remedy. So at least it'll play well.

>>712891726
mindseye was like 1 week between having never heard of it and it bombing for me, and it seems like no one knows about FBC either

>>712891958
which made me realize i don't like it anymore.

I think this is one of those dimensional merge things and these recent flops were big high profile games in the other world but none of the natives of this dimension have any idea what our new foreign friends are on about.

>3 players only
what the fuck happened
how do we go from 4 to just 3?

Off into the anime game mines with you. You'll love western games in no time.

>>712892424
Don't tell me you don't know the plague that is the discord tourist craving for the new hit of tortanic. They don't play games they are just here to doom post about every release

>>712891726
Nope, never heard of it.
I watch lots of game trailer shows, and it might even have been there, but I was so not interested I could have forgotten about it after 2 minutes. It's the same like I don't remember 90% of the games shows on the latest Summer Fest, it was all fucking trash.

>>712892564
>>explicitly talked about how it's just a normal game, no live service slop
>>no daily check ins, no battlepasses, no FOMOshit, just play it whenever you want without pressure
Look at this dumb tranimefaggot lmao

>>712892619
It's 40 bucks, so I excuse them. Better than charging upfront for multiplayer only then shove microtransactions on top as well.
The Helldivers image was intended.

>>712892621

It rings a bell, but who are these fags again?
Is it the alan wake faggots?

My only hope is that it completely BTFOs killing floor 3 so tripwire can eat shit like the fucking retards they are.

>>712892764
That's the optional supporter shit that they can't list for preorder for some reason
If they add more post launch then I'll concede the point

>>712891838
Please understand, they're struggling, Alan Wake 2 took an entire year to actually make money for them and they're still glued to Timmy's deals. This is an intern side project to siphon some cash from Steamies before they go back into the gutter with Control 2 on Ebin and no sales again.

I only ever liked Max Payne 1 and 2.

>>712892564
Right now, it's just in-vogue to hate multiplayer. Basically, you've got anons that hate multiplayer in any and every form because they think it is only ever dicking around social fortnite bullshit, and they're amplified by the general audience voicing a lot of ire towards the actual dicking around social fortnite bullshit they play all the time.

It's kind of ironic, how much they're deciding to align themselves with casuals on the matter, but ultimately it is for the purpose of shitting on video games and trying to prevent other people from having fun, so it's still kinda on-brand for /v/

>I simply NEED to get angry ahead of time about shit in my head that may happen

>>712893219
You sound pretty upset over internet opinions though

>>712892993
control and aw2 are pretty good
you should try them

>>712892952
I heard that Control 2 was already in development but there were conflicts with their publisher.

Is this the shit hard game? Probably the only thing i'll remember it for

>>712893219
>that may happen
it's so common even your brain wrote that it might happen instead of just denying it

>>712893335
you remember a game that hasn't released yet, being shit hard?

>>712893323
These idiots have a gorrillion projects in development now. It's fucking Telltale all over again, they're gonna fold in a year or 2.

>>712893335
you're thinking of dark souls

>>712891000 (OP)
they're already expecting it to flop worse than anal woke

>>712893394
Dark souls is neither shit nor hard. It's just punishing. Or was, for its time.

>>712891000 (OP)
I played the closed test thing and it fundamentally feels bad to play. The guns, of which there was technically only 3 (three), felt and sounded like toys, you move like you're a 70 year old geriatric with a bad hip, and the gameplay loop is running back and forth to ammo and healing stations while you do the same static tedious task the same way for the level, which there almost certainly isn't going to be enough of to cover for the fact that they'll play out the same way every time. The only single positive thing I have to say for it is the Control flavored enemies, but ultimately that's just window dressing for a bad game.

>>712893504
Alan Wake fans loved the sequel though.

>>712893624
all 12 of them

>>712893662
Why are in this thread then faggot?

No thank you

>>712894273
no shes a mulatto

>>712891000 (OP)
I'd like to like it but it seems kinda mediocre? Like room temp water - not exactly bad but you'd prefer it cold. From trailers it seems more wacky than serious supernatural spooky and that is gay

I'm just tired of retards going in threads of games they never played to transmit their latest xitter talking point.

>>712891000 (OP)
I'm Finnish and I don't care.
Yes I liked Mas Payne 1 and 2 as a kid but rest of their games have been mid at best. Haven't played Alan Wake 2 yet either.

>>712891726
I think I might have heard about it in threads shitting on Alan Wake 2? Maybe?
I knew nothing about it except the name though so I might as well never have heard of it. Apparently its multiplayer? ok, cool. dont care then.

>>712891000 (OP)
i liked darktide in spite of how shitty that game was so i will probably play this

>>712891726
what the fuck is mindseye

>>712894887
GTA V but better

>three player
what the fuck is with this trend? these games aren't even tank / healer / dps type games either. do they think they can sell more copies by having it be three players instead of two? why three?? these games do absolutely nothing that requires 3 people. i'm specifically not going to play this now (same with nightrein) because its 3 players.
getting 3 adults to play shit at the same time is a fucking nightmare.

>>712895180
I genuinely believe it's just a development thing. Game runs better with three vs four. Four is harder to develop for. So guess everyone's doing three now. Or maybe all the people making these coop modes only have two friends I dunno.

>>712895180

tardwrangling randoms is an essential part of the gameplay experience

Watched the trailer, looks generic and lacks a strong enough hook to rope in the normalfags. I wouldn't be surprised if it flops.

yeah and valve hasn't done that shit in like 20 years. L4D2 released in 2009. All these fucking companies care so much about milking skins that every other engagement mechanic is completely ignored. Fucking L4D3 had a 24h speak of 31k which is 3 times what Deadlock has

How has nothing topped L4D still?

A very loose definition of "working"

>Live service multiplayer FPS game
God damn, feel like falling asleep just from reading this shit. If there ever was a genre that deserved to die it is the modern FPS scene.

>>712896548
wow I guess dota2 is actually dota3 because they switched to source 2 a fucking decade ago

>>712896589
Yes it is you brain damaged faggot. All the tooling and underlying engine changed.

>>712896589
you're a retard because CS2 doesn't play as good as CSGO did thanks to Source 2

Hopefully it flops so Remedy can move on from this reddit Alan-Wake/Control verse they're forcing

Why would you ever buy from GOG when pirates get the same experience for free? You're retarded.

why didbt remedy make a friendslop game?

this is getting mogged by shit like lethal company and repo

>>712891000 (OP)
its an ok L4D clone
they should've spent 200$ on some pajeets to shill it tho

>>712896824
They 100% saw Helldivers 2 taking off last year and tried to pump out a similar game with a bit of the other friendslop elements added in.

>>712896846
Okay is pushing it. I'd say its mediocre with how light on content it is.

>500 views on the 2M subs playstation access account
flopped and shitted

>>712896812
The more DRM shit you put in a game the less likely I am to buy it. Denuvo = not even pirating once it gets cracked and shit talking the game to everyone without ever playing it.

>>712896795
>We're 10bn in debt and these colossal retards are attempting to sink another 5% of GDP into the defense budget. We're becoming a third world country at this rate.
They want to throw you at Russia or something? I thought you had that famous social net system.

Latest xitter buzzword detected, post disregarded

>>712896932
Yeah but Arrowhead made Magicka and the first HD.
They actually had amazing experience making bombastic dumb friendly fire coopshit.

Lethal Company is such a way better framework for a game set in Control. The sjooty shit in this game just seems completely uninspired.

While small, Remedy has nonetheless become an old rotten tree.

>>712896996
Steam doesn't require DRM though there are plenty of non-DRM games on Steam.

What the fuck Remedy

>Also, no text/voice chat. The official solution from Remedy at the time was to invite players to a group chat on PS5 and use the voice chat feature there. Adding in voice chat was too expensive for Remedy's first multiplayer game, per one dev.

How do you make a "funny" coop game without proximity voice chat?

>>712891000 (OP)
All their fans have been telling them for the past 4 years nobody was going to play this. They know it but they did it anyways. Eh.

>>712891000 (OP)
No, and i'm finnish. Majority of Remedy devs aren't even finnish these days. They're brown californians with blue and pink hairs.

the only fucking guy I've seen hyped for this game is that japanese artist that drew Pandemonium (the furry manga that keeps getting spammed)

>Only notable games are Alan Wake 1 and 2
>Both QTE movies with zero depth and variety
>"P-please understand!"

You're talking about a bunch of has-beens who made a MILDLY successful movie-game who are taking on a genre of games they're completely unfamiliar with, unproven records within said genre, about a game most people in this thread haven't even heard about nor are hyped for, amongst the plethora of games within said genre which continuously shit on anything that doesn't bring anything new or exciting to the table who already have feverishly established playerbases.

What on earth do you think is going to happen here? They should be shouting from the mountaintops if this game even breaks 1k concurrent players within the first week. That's how low the bar is set to even get a foot in the door.

Now, I've got no hate for Remedy and will willingly say on record I've not played a single game of theirs, so this post isn't coming from a "lE eP1C dEfEaTeRiN0" mindset, but from a dispassionate objective one. The task to even be seen is monumental, to be a success an order of magnitude more difficult in an already saturated genre of games that's becoming even moreso with the huge success of Helldivers 2 and every publisher wanting in on a piece of that pie (and so far failing miserably).

I hold no grudge against Remedy, in fact if the game gets off to a great start, the more the merrier. A good game is it's own reward.

Do I see that happening? Absolutely fucking not.

If they get lucky and some big streamers play it they might have a chance honestly.

>>712891000 (OP)
Wait, Remedy's releasing another game? Is this related to Control?

>>712897745
It will never make into 6 gorillion it needs to break even so it's a flop.
If it does however then it was never GAAS slop and was in fact based chud game like the bear sex game was.

>>712897821
you fight some hiss in the oldest house with 2 of your pals

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

>>712897821

Im guessing 5

>>712897971
Oh. Looks like they aren't even able to convey what their game is about with just a few screenshots or short videos.

>>712897107
nta but Steam has their own DRM, GOG doesn't

>>712896608
Thanks to feminazis goverment on the last term. They refused to cut anything during covid lockdown and now we are fucked beyond believe.

is the map just the same levels as control? or new maps?

The women were just the death stroke. The real damage had already been done when we joined the EMU. It was the biggest mistake in ages. The national Mark was going very strong, until it was practically intentionally tanked by the central banks here to fit our legistlation and specific criteria and quota to joining the EMU. Quiet ironically, this also resulted in banks getting quite literally legal immunity to rob peoples investments blind without fear of legal repercussions. Between the period of 1989 and 1993 a total of 200 000 suicides were attributed to small business owner bankruptcies and estate foreclosures. All to have us join a monetary union that's practically a pyramid scheme.

Typically games have reviews come few days earlier

this is just pretty unhyped launch from remedy, but ofc the game genre is niche and its not very expensive game to begin with

Unlike Mindseye, I did actually hear about this game multiple times since it was at multiple award shows as up and coming. However I'm not surprised everyone forgot about it because it looks like shit and is destined to flop.

That's surprising, I remember Control looking good (mostly thanks to memorable environmental art direction) and Remedy has always been pretty good with graphics

I mean, that's great and all, you enjoyed the game you played and bully for you. Not knocking it.

But until this thread, I may have heard about the game in passing and dismissed it because no waves were made because of it. As far as this anon is concerned, it didn't exist. And this is coming from an old fucker who has been using the internet since the mid 90's and has kept a decent enough pulse on the field of gaming to know which games made waves (of course with respect to my own tastes, and quite a few outside of said tastes) and not.

Alan Wake showed up on many peoples radars, be it to make fun of it or discuss it, but it showed up regardless. No other game in their repertoire has done similarly, and I have little faith Firebreak will either.

Considering it sits on a mostly negative Steam rating, not really, no. It looked kind of cool in the trailers. Right now there are likely better games holding my attention and future to be released games too. Presentation wise i think it looks pretty good on the Northlight engine on the other hand, one of the few studios that didn't abandon it's in-house tech. It's a shame that Remedy's first FPS game turned out to be some red fall tier flop.

>>712897485
uhhhhhhhhhh mods?

I think this game just puts more bad blood between myself and Remedy as a studio and hence i feel little sympathy for when they don't succeed and that the studio are likely to have suffered significant financial damage for putting out a bad game that won't make them money. As in i haven't really forgotten their past transgressions when they resorted to anti consumer practices by seeking out an Epic publishing deal rather than keeping their games open to all platforms. Therefore they have sinned big time already and shown that they're a bad and predatory company in general.

>>712901805

To be fair to Remedy, Alan Wake 2 did so badly that it's still not sold enough copies to recoup it's initial costs as per their own shareholder conference. The only thing that kept that game viable was Timmy shoveling free money down their throats

>>712897485
Would.

>>712902314

>>712905527
it sold badly BECAUSE it wasn't on steam. the sooner remedy realizes this and remedies the situation, the sooner they'll break even. until them, the timmy money better be enough for them to stay afloat.

>>712904724

>>712904724
>You just accept whatever trash is thrown you're way
That's why I'm not buying it? so i have standards. The last co-op FPS games i enjoyed was Abiotic Factor, Warhammer Vermintide and Deep Rock Galactic.

what happened to the max payne remake?
are you telling me it takes 4+ years to remake a 8 hour long game from the 2000s?

>>712906392
remakes are entirely new games that follow the originals plot loosely

>>712905527
it did tho

>>712906745
it took a full 2 years to do so

Game's okay. Not spectacular, but fine.
I think it's true that Remedy's never really been a big gameplay studio, they're more about vibes and storytelling and you can feel that here. It feels pretty simple so far, I like how the tools interact with one another but so far the basic game has just been
>shoot everything with my revolver that kills everything in a hit unless it's a big special hiss
>run around looking for an objective you have to collect or complete
>repeat in the next area
>run back to the start and finish

Some of the critiques like "it gets way too hard too fast" or "enemies aren't fun to shoot" haven't really rung true to me. I haven't touched extreme yet but hard has felt easy and forgiving. I kinda like blasting the spastic flying enemies out of the sky, myself. I was also hoping the mechanics would be a bit more raid-y and they haven't at all so far, but maybe that could change a little at max difficulty with modifiers turned on.

I guess in one way it does remind me of Concord is that it feels kind of like a relic. Co-op games like Nightreign and Helldivers are selling vaguely new ideas and this just feels like a simple and kind of standard co-op shooter. I appreciate that they aren't pretending that this is going to be some big live-service game they want you playing every day because it absolutely isn't that, this is a game that at best you play for a little bit and then stop and maybe come back when they drop new content if you feel like it, but I feel like with stuff like Helldivers and Space Marine and Darktide around most people probably won't.

>>712898361
vidya is my me-time where i want to be in control. if i want to spend 10 minutes looking at a chair then i want to be able to do that without negatively affecting someone elses enjoyment and vice versa i don't want anyone else to negatively affect my enjoyment either. i want to be able to just pause the game, take a dump for 10 minutes and come back, or answer a phone call or get the door or do stuff that you don't need to know about. but what really made me realize this was playing DMZ in CoD. i was new to the game and immediately got paired up with 2 guys that just rushed to some spot on the map, did their thing and never communicated at all. i don't want those people in my vidya time.

>>712897790
>I've not played a single game of theirs, so this post isn't coming from a "lE eP1C dEfEaTeRiN0" mindset, but from a dispassionate objective one.
This doesn't make you impartial or objective, it just makes you uniformed. For example, you didn't even mention Control which won many publications' GOTY 2019 awards.
You basically have no idea what you are talking about and it shows. There is a bare minimum of the medium you have to experience in order for anyone to take your opinion seriously. In short, you and posters like you need to get laughed off this board.

>>712891000 (OP)
I got in the playtest a month ago and enjoyed my time with it. It was balanced well for single and multiplayer and I was hoping that the lack of content was just a playtest thing. Now they've only added three more levels and three more weapons with the only progression being cosmetics. I'll buy it next month when it's half off.

>>712906858
I just finished a few rounds and have the impression that you saw the entire game after a single mission. Interact with x, maybe do a qte if you are the wrong class, shoot spawning in horde. Sad that it got nothing else going on.

>>712907485
>the only progression being cosmetics
this isn't really true, to the point that it's a mild complaint I have about it. You start off with shitty incomplete weapons and gadgets and need to progress through a battle pass to unlock everything which feels weird for a game which seems to have less content than left 4 dead. they're overtly selling the game on being something you come back to later when there's more content but I dunno you're gating all this stuff I'd like to have behind getting the helldivers samples scattered around the map and I don't really get them THAT fast.

Also like Helldivers it makes you play the lower difficulties to get to the high ones and all the low difficulties suck and aren't interesting.

>>712900063
Feels good. The only issue is that they'll constantly spam you with enemies that you can manage but it's hectic in a way that feels overwhelming rather than challenging. Two of the weapons feel like shit and the other four feel like copies of each other.

why the fuck does remedy keep making 5/10 shooters when they could do so much more? qb was ruined by the fucking tv show gimmick so they wasted too much time, control was floaty as fuck and the best way to play is to throw rocks and chairs over and over until everything is dead
now they made a 5/10 multiplayer shooter with no story that the fans to cling onto
alan wake 1 was the last great game remedy made

>>712907857
>control was floaty as fuck and the best way to play is to throw rocks and chairs over and over until everything is dead
Just like Half Life 2 is meant to be played with grav gun only

>>712907857
honestly i don't even like alan wake very much, max payne 2 was the only remedy game that I REALLY liked. Control was alright with a nice setting but you got strongarmed into chair-chucking which wasn't very fun.

>the studio that hasn't been good at making fun gameplay for over a decade now
>makes a game that hinges on good gameplay and they cant crutch with their meme writing
>it flops

LOL
LMAO

>>712907703
>need to progress through a battle pass to unlock everything
Probably why I thought you could only unlock cosmetics. That feels really weird for upgrades to guns. I'd assume that'd just be a prestige thing.
>Also like Helldivers it makes you play the lower difficulties to get to the high ones and all the low difficulties suck and aren't interesting.
Did they really make that change since the playtest? Higher difficulties is what made those two levels replayable over and over again. Locking players out of that early on just feels weird even if they want to do the Helldivers thing of getting comfortable with each level before progressing higher.

>>712907921
hl2 has 20 other guns
control has what ? 3 total guns ? 4
get a grip

>>712907942
Well, to be more precise, I think you can access Extreme from the start but you can't play higher classifications (I.E. play the whole multi-stage mission) until you've played the simpler versions first. So you have to play a version of the mission that's like five minutes long and then one that's like ten-fifteen minutes long before you get to do the whole thing.

>>712907935
>and they cant crutch with their meme writing

this is really it
when i think of control i think of trench, ahti, and darling
this game has none of that charisma

>>712891883
>starfield
>trash effect
I expected a man of taste to have better standards. Not just wasted money, wasted time, wasted storage. Could have replayed both max paynes. Fool.

>>712891838
i keep forgetting Control is an actual game and not just a benchmark

>>712907827
If you have people using their class stuff like the tools and deployable items the swarms of enemies are more manageable it seems like and nobody really has them yet or understands how to use them. Enemies don't come off as that threatening anyway even in massive numbers.

>>712908028
Still very strange to make that change. You'd think they'd just let people do what they want rather than that, but I guess they saw Helldivers do it and figured it'd be a good way to ease players in?
>>712908043
>when i think of control i think of trench, ahti, and darling
I get why the first two can't be in it, but I miss Ahti.

>>712891726
What fucking game media do you think we're all following? Seriously.

>>712908229
AW1 was way too repetitive and lacked enemy variety. I was hoping AW2 would resolve that but they regressed.

>>712908229
Remedy's writing has never hooked into me like it has for some people and shine flashlight at man then shoot him started feeling like a forgettable slurry a few hours in. I also remember thinking it was pretty ugly.

I remember enjoying American Nightmare a little for being more to the point with tighter gameplay.

>>712908015
Chucking physics objects is fun

>>712908206
>somehow the hiss are capable of sticking around for 6+ years despite the entire building being under lockdown where nobody can get in or out (allegedly)

>>712908340
chucking physics objects is alright in HL2 (albeit still usually less satisfying than just shooting someone)

in control you just press a button twice and it auto-deletes the shield so you can actually shoot them

>>712908329
>I remember enjoying American Nightmare a little for being more to the point with tighter gameplay.
Based opinion. I love AW1 and 2 a lot, but American Nightmare is the best one in the series in my opinion. Any horror game with an arcade mode is top tier.

>>712908329
it has been a little bit since i played them both but AN felt like more of the same that i didnt have a problem with, mr scratch is pretty fun as evil alan

>>712908397
Control gets fun with all the upgrades but it forces you to go out of your way to find side missions and secrets in order to get the points to get those upgrades. But I agree with the guns, they should have let you swap between all of them and given them more distinct use cases.

I'll buy it when it goes on sale. Looks fun.

>>712908278
>Too many good singleplayer games out
I wish that was the case.

another thing that I was hoping for (and honestly I was hoping for this in Control) is that we'd see more fun anomalous hostile shit that isn't just Evil Red Sound Men. I don't think they're super interesting as enemies, stuff like the sticky note creatures and the anomalous objects like the anchor from the base game are much more fun conceptually to me than basically zombies.

>>712908873
you get to use those and weapons and i think there's a few in levels you have to take care of as RNG events

These guys look nothing like the Firebreak from Control either, they look like they took a really cool concept and changed it to try and appeal to lethal company fans or something.

>>712909118
this is the original teaser image of the game, so they were going to make it more like this. At some point they decided it needed more "character" but I think people would've eaten this aesthetic up. This teaser makes it look like the oldest house is more functional, "firebreak" in the game is actually different from the typical security in that it's a bunch of untrained volunteers with scrapped-together equipment because the facility has been under lockdown to keep the hiss from getting out for six years straight.

>>712891726
I am honestly having a hard time not confusing it with that game shown in some Xbox showcase where you're a firefighter rescuing people on a mountain.

So its got overwhelmingly negative reviews because of:
>Only 5 missions
>Feels like you've seen the whole game in 5 hours
>Not much enemy or weapon variety
>Terrible weapon feedback especially with the tools

>>712910009
So exactly like the original Left 4 Dead?

>>712910009
>participate in playtest
>tell them all his in feedback
>playtest ends
>dont get invited to the next one

couldnt handle the feedback

>>712910161
Difference is that L4D1 and 2 had alot of work put into it to make killing the enemies very satisfying. It literally never gets old

>>712910161
L4D maps are better. They actually have tons of enemy variety with specials. The weapons feel a bit better than this. Also these characters have no personality like L4D.

>>712910181
There was only one playtest and you couldn't leave feedback at all.

>>712910258
I would say the difference is in how utterly tight the gameplay is in every way more than something like the gore system. A Hunter or a Smoker never stops being a threat. The way it randomly doles out supplies keeps things interesting. Crescendo events are cool.

This game doesn't slot together nearly as seamlessly and also the 5 levels don't feel anywhere near as involved as L4D's campaigns. It feels like they're like 3-4 rooms.

I like the random items that appear. The possessed item. Very fun gimmick. Also, I played easy and it was pretty boring. I went to normal, and it ended up having a completely different ending. What happenes on had and above?

>>712892172
Your most recent played game is multiplayer.

I dunno I watched like an hour of someone playing it and only saw like 1 anomaly. The rest was the same enemy type every mission.

Do video game companies really think attaching battle passes just magically works on everyone? I get fomo exist and people back themselves into a corner with sunk cost fallacy. But honestly back in the day a mp game with unlocks were always there and you could get them with time put in. All the current day game enjoyers should be shown how it used to be and stop caring about modern day garbage content trickle.

>>712909118
It ended up looking like Concord

Meh, in Control it's gay point and click, and you don't even need an object, she can always conjure up some pocket sand to throw. Takes all the fun out of interaction with the physics engine.

>>712891000 (OP)
aint paying shit for another live service slop. also no demo

>>712911309
i'm absolutely right
max payne 1's gameplay is so great that to my knowledge literally nobody has made a spiritual successor
max payne 2 is fine
alan wake 1 is a slog
control is okay but gets boring quickly when you realize how you're intended to play

when critiquing max payne 3 remedy fans never mention the gameplay, they talk about the tone and the writing. remedy fans are huge on the lore and tone and settings, i've never encountered a remedy fan that passionately gives a fuck about their gameplay

>>712911784

you literally rip chunks of the terrain out to throw.

>>712891000 (OP)
this shit isn't F2P? I was slightly interested but there's zero chance I'm paying $40 for any remedy multiplayer game. they have probably 19 or 20 fans worldwide including me so the playerpool is going to be laughably small and will probably be non-existent within 3 months.

>>712912028
>max payne 1's gameplay is so great that to my knowledge literally nobody has made a spiritual successor
Max Payne with the kung fu mode is the shit. And it's only a thing because the combat in the base game is good.
>max payne 2 is fine
It's not "fine", it's one of the best TPS game out there in terms of mechanics.
Also, off the top of my head, there's Stranglehold, which is a spiritual successor to MP games, and there are probably others.
And then there's that racing game they made, I never played it though.
So yeah, Remedy's games used to be well-balanced, but with AW they pivoted to being le weird with little else to offer.

>>712912449
it's F2P on game pass

>Kill countless generic zombies
>Suddenly a zombie boss with the name John Smith but with 20x the health
AHHHHHH IM GOING INSANEEEEE ITS SO CUHRAZYYYYYY

>>712912028
I think remedy's vanilla tps formula has been detrimental to the experiences they've been trying to make since max payne 2. it makes sense for the hardboiled john woo knock off but not a sci-fi horror game.

>>712891000 (OP)
>Are you hyped for remedys new online multiplayer shooter "Firebreak"?
>Its launching today
Depends. How much blackrock money have they taken and how many women/brown people do they employ?

it's over

>>712912507
is stranglehold close to MP1? because MP1 is something very particular in my mind, a game where weapons are really inaccurate until you get the M4 at the end and encounters are borderline trial and error unless you know enemy positions.

MP2 is just a normal TPS

>>712891726
I heard about a MP Remedy game based on Control/Alan Wake universe, but only saw a concept art once and that's it.
I thought that it was going to be 3rd person like the rest of their games. Also, no propaganda whatsoever

All you got to do to fix it is either make it $25 or add replayability and weapon sidegrades. Just add a survival mode or something like L4D2 and SHUM you're already get $10 worth of value from that.

>>712891883
Inzoi sounds like an anon trying to insult a game through a shitty meme name like "InSoi"

Max's VA is dead, there is no reason to do those remakes without him.
Remaster the old ones if you must but remakes are pointless without James doing Max's voice.

>>712891726
I'm not pretending. Never heard of it before just now

>>712915861
They're going to reuse his voice 100%. I just wonder if they'll use his face from 3 / Control or Sam's since he can do mocap.

>>712891726
i have never heard of either of these games. unironically

so when the fuck are Epic gonna stop being faggots and just start putting Alan Wake 2 on the "free games" list? It's been 2 years and it's not like it was a massive seller or anything.

>>712891883
did people actually buy starfield

never ever. they don't want to make it seem like their games are basic enough to be given away for free

They put it on sale for 30% off RRP every few months.

honestly its not as good as control or QB and im struggling to finish it

>>712896329
Them working on Linux is enough for me.

>>712920963
putting it on sale isn't worth it to me. I wouldn't have bothered buying Dead Island 2 but since they gave it away for free, I tried it and enjoyed it. I'm not gonna bother putting money down on sloppa.

looks like you don't play singleplayer games either

>>712915504
why is literally every last one of them making a retarded face?

so this is the new Concord?

I don't know what they were thinking with this game. I haven't been watching it closely or anything, but every time I saw it pop up at a game show I was pretty put off by it. The weapons look awful, the enemies look uninspired and non-threatening, and it just has the feeling of an inferior Left 4 Dead 2. Why did they think this would succeed?

>>712923846
Because they are not finished. Killing Antidote is early access, Shadows is obviously not finished, Inzoi is bare bones, Oblivion is dogshit without mods and Tainted Grail is also getting overhauled with every patch, even fucking STALKER 2 has a roadmap. Seriously, is releasing a finished and complete singleplayer game too much to ask?

>>712924453
They knew it wouldn't succeed, which is why it's day 1 gamepass and ps+

>>712891000 (OP)
Welp just played it,it's completely barebones with all class abilities locked behind unlocks just to give you something to do missions are short as shit all in all you can see pretty much all the game has to offer in less than an hour

>>712901463
Did they forget to do an internal beta test? Players not knowing currency exists sounds like a major design flaw.

>>712895180
>why three??
I think it's just easier to balance. Think of balance as a 100 unit load/effort break point per player. So a 3 player balanced event require 300 whatever to defeat. If some shitter does 1/2 that it can still be fun if nerds step up. Getting a 50/150/150 sort of total. Nerds can make up for the shitter.
Now make it 4 with same 100 per player balance. So 400 total for win. Now if you get two shitters, and 50/50/200/200. The nerds can't in most cases do x2. So you just lose or you make the game casual that content can be ran by basically any group, even 4 shitters all doing 50/50/50/50.
So 3 is the magic number

Can't blame you for that but, if you actually check it out it's well worth your time. Finding the Former in the fridge was such a great surprise

No one who is posting screenshots of this game and calling it shit played for more than an hour
Not even seeing any real criticism because it's so obvious you just booted it up, played 1 match and called it a day
This is the state of /v/ now, people who barely exit a game's tutorial before making up their mind

>This is the state of /v/ now, people who barely exit a game's tutorial before making up their mind
yea you gotta 100% the game to make any sort of call

>>712925419
The kits start faulty and once you buy the most preliminary upgrades they become viable for better movement and crowd control
When you replay a mission on higher clearance, there is exponentially more to do and enemies actually impede progress

>>712929159
If I am understanding things looking at reviews, there was a playtest
a playtest that contained the same mere 5 maps, with 3 of the 5 game modes.
a playtest audiences were complaining for lack of content
all there remained for a play tester to trial was a mere two game modes, across 5 whole ass maps to sufficiently draw the conclusion its shit, under cooked, and delivers very little for even the B title price tag of 40$.

>>712891000 (OP)
It doesn't look bad just a little janky and unpolished. We need more games like DRG but with actual content beyond the RNG generation even if that content is limited to story driven seasons.

>>712930476
>It doesn't look
I mean, the graphics are technically nice, yeah, but... are we looking at the same character designs?

What's that supposed to mean?

>>712931087
>"varied" reception

>>712895180
3 players is a solid dynamic to build around. With 2 it gets kinda gay being alone with your bro, and with 4 you often just split into 2 teams of 2 and have to balance around that instead. 3 is a magic number because it lets you have a team dynamic while still ensuring cohesion because if two of them fuck off to go fap or something then the last guy will usually get overwhelmed by themselves.

>>712891726
Never even heard of it

>>712892564
>made by Remedy, who only produce unbridled kino in every release
They haven't made anything good since Max Payne 2

>>712895180
Probably because somebody claimed 3 players is an industry statistic in regards to average friend count/reach and something about another industry focus tested stat like "above 3 people in a group there is more chaos" while obviously ignoring that a healthy amount of spontaneous chaos is fun. Western devs operate on dogma. This is the same reason they've all recently convinced each other to use steam wishlists like a horoscope where they'll scrap together a concept preview and only actually make the game if the preview reached some [insert manabi-line steam wishlist broscience metric] figure to turn a profit. They like to blow smoke up their own asses to rationalize an irrational industry so they can later make some post where they'll continue doing so with a few "bias" buzzwords to repeat it or burnout.

>pol brainrot
literally wtf does politics have to with this? you can go to any dev forum blog discussions whatever and watch devs rationalize with each other in realtime about steam wishlists or GDC talks from their favorite colleagues where they'll take factoids and try to operate with it like a law or at least a wishful star i.e. horoscopes
