>Tries to be an "old school hardcore FPS" by removing the limited stamina system, but is just Far Cry 3 in a different coat of paint so you can only carry 4 weapons like it's a console FPS

"How bad was vanilla Far Cry 3 when this garbage is heralded as something noteworthy?" Is what I used to say before I finally played FC3 recently, only to discover it's way way way better than Blood Dragon

barotrauma is the main one i think of immediately. that game was a giant pain in the ass to play.

>>713771823 (OP)
filthered.

>>713771884
I beat it though

>>713771823 (OP)
Blood Dragon is a DLC for a reason. Turning it into a main game would've killed Ubisoft harder than Skulls And Bones

>>713771860
It falls into the hole of "fun with friends" where you can have just as much fun with them while bullshitting with a deck of cards as you would playing this game.

>>713771823 (OP)
it's a short and sweet supplementary to fc3, not a replacement

Posted it again award

>>713772078
Guess it speaks to the differences in time, because New Dawn is one of the best DLC sequel expansion pack things I've played for a game but they obviously put WAY more money into it.

Just a few tweaks would've saved Blood Dragon
>Move like you're on crack
>Health packs that apply automatically (I can't believe I even have to type this)

Probably a few more things but that's just right off the top of my head

>>713771823 (OP)
>Tries to be an "old school hardcore FPS"
stopped reading right there, what kind of stupid faggot do you have to be to even think they were trying be an "old school hardcore FPS"

>>713771823 (OP)
It's was just a meme DLC, lil bro. You're 12 year too late.

>>713772263
>it's a short and sweet supplementary to fc3, not a replacement

There were /v/ posters that said it was better than the base game (which was a fucking lie)

>>713772342
That's what people like /v/ said and YouTube reviewers like Razorfist would try and claim

>>713772294
you already run at 5x normal speed, how much faster do you think a ps3/xbox360 could handle

>>713772396
i do prefer it to the base game because it's short and has skippable cutscenes, the base game blows to replay, blood dragon is an hour of fun every time, if i'm going to play a real far cry i'm just going to play 5

>>713771823 (OP)
who ever said its oldschool? i only recall people saying it was fun.

>>713772397
Having just played Boltgun: A whole lot faster. I understand technological limits, but Quake 4 came out on 360, Duke got an XBLA 360 port. You can do fast on 360/PS3

>>713772473
5 is a great co-op and me and a buddy go back to it just for coop Arcade. 3 also had a fun little co-op Left 4 Dead style side mode that me and a buddy thankfully got to play before it shut down.

>>713772591
*5 is a great co-op game

>>713772294
New Dawn is actually pretty fun, I'm playing it for free on ps plus and at least the setting adds to the uniqueness.

>>713772591
>Quake 4 came out on 360, Duke got an XBLA 360 port
you move slower in both of these games than blood dragon wtf are you smoking bro

>>713772649
Have you done those hot spot missions for the pilot? I loved those things and wish they were added retroactively to FC5 where you go across the US to deal with the cultists.

>>713772703
I recognize that screencap. He's just another schizo.

>>713772703
t. guy who would get filtered by the final arena in boltgun

No you do not move fast in Blood Dragon and you can't even run and shoot.

>>713772739
Not yet, but I like the premise and they reused it in FC6. Just like the Himalaya missions in FC4 it shows these games can have more variety then just reuses assets.

>>713771823 (OP)
>Incredibly short
but this is a plus. i don't want a game that requires me to play it for 40 hours of gameplay that got stale 20 hours earlier to get to the end of an incredibly mediocre story.

>>713771823 (OP)
>/v/ shilled you into playing
This game is 12 years old how much of an underage are you that you need to be shilled for something that old?

>>713773021
>oh noooooo it's too long the length of the game oooh i can't handle the leeeeength!

I genuinely, GENUINELY, hate people like you. Alien Isolation could've been 30 hours and it'd still be kino, but noooooo, faggots like you go "Eeeeehrm ackshually i would've removed dis and dat section from the game" (You didn't make it shut the fuck up retard and k why yourself you retarded nig)

>>713771823 (OP)
The only thing I remember from this game was the band who composed the OST was called Power Glove. They did an AMA on reddit to hype the release, but the thread was hijacked with disappointed comments and posts because it wasn't the awesome metal band of the same name. you can probably still find it if you search for it.

Tried owlboy because of the shilling here the week it came out. It wasn't the worst game I'd ever played but it felt like a 6/10 at best

>>713773286
Agreed. I'm at a point where a metroidvania needs to blow my cock off because I'm too old to learn a new map and Owlboy wasn't the game. (Blasphemous was the last game that did it for me but I still wouldn't say everybody should play it)

>>713773252
>Power Glove
Didn't they do the shitty covers of game music from the Devil May Cry netflix show?

>>713772294
New Dawn is good because it's the only DLC that continues the story rather than pretending like it didn't happen

>>713773191
oh... it's you. didn't realize because you didn't post a screenshot of your steam playtime of blood dragon. lmao anyways, you missed the point. there are loads of games that i have played for hundreds of hours and could pick up again and have fun. the point is that most devs do not make a game engaging enough to justify the length of their game and the narrative (or even audio-visual experience) is not great enough to justify it. at the end you feel hollow and like you've wasted your time that could have been spent on a better game. i am sure you feel the same way about resident evil 7, no?

>>713773778
Save scumming in RE0 (as in I would make a save, then play an hour or two to test the next section of the game until I died) felt less of a waste time than the 6-8 hour length game of RE7 because the Crapcom devs had ZERO fucking ideas on how to lengthen out RE7 because they just ripped off Outlast, which they forget is a short yet tense horror thrill ride due to being an indie title. RE7 crashes after Jack dies and I didn't even think it was that strong of a start to begin with because I barely encountered Jack, which is why Outlast would put a character like Chris Walker in segments so you have to interact with him in some way.

>>713773778
>>713774130
Besides Revelations 2, RE6 is the most content dense RE game and you can tell someone, somewhere, was excited to bring this to life. It doesn't feel like it was rushed out the door like RE7 clearly was. RE7 feels like an awkward backlash response to 6 that borrowed heavily from a successful western horror game but had no ideas on how to spin them out like an Alien Isolation for example.

I would like a 20 hour RE7 (and I don't count the DLC and you are a faggot if you do because Alien Isolation's core campaign doesn't need DLC to be long), but it comes back to being uncreative hacks and nothing to do with length itself.

>>713774442
>but it comes back to being uncreative hacks and nothing to do with length itself.
yes, but unfortunately most creative output on this planet is done by uncreative people (or creative people working within impossible corporate constraints. not that good products do not ever come out of corporate environments, it is just that they produce safe, by the numbers, boring slop more often than not).

>>713771823 (OP)
It's not supposed to be a old school hardcore FPS it's literally just meant to be a streamlined Far Cry and justifies it with the MC being a supersoldier augmented with cybernetics and being 80s sci-fi schlock de-emphasizing stealth mechanics. It's short because it's literally an expansion DLC for Far Cry 3.
This would be a far more relevant criticism leveled at shit like Duke Nukem Forever or Matt Hazard or Bulletstorm or even Doom 16/Eternal which seemed to think the only part of old shooters people remembered were being crass and violent instead of actual game design. Mind you, remember DNF launched with a Halo-style two weapon limit that only got patched up to 4.

>>713774663
BTW here are my hours with RE7 post the DLC. This is barely, BARELY, longer than my time with Alien Isolation. Really liked the Chris DLC, and in particular the final boss, but it was FREE. End of Zoe was fucking embarrassing in tone even if I liked having a new enemy for once (alligator), gee thanks game.

The card game and puzzle room felt like they should've come with the game and I almost don't understand why they spent time making them. The two mercenary style modes were okay but are still several notches below 5 and 6's. The prequel story one was also OKAY.

Overall the content here is weaker than anything in 6, yet I'm supposed to pretend 6 is the black sheep due to retards genuinely being filtered. RE6 was $60 at launch and you got a lot of content. RE7 was $60 and then you had to pay $30-$40 for all of the DLC.

People complain about $80 games now but they were willing to eat dogshit like 7 and it's DLC

>>713775054
My least favorite part of DNF is that bosses only take damage from one weapon.

>>713775181
that's a lot of words to say you basically agree with me. i would rather have a shorter experience that knows when to end than a longer experience that is only as long as it is to boast a certain amount of playable hours (for investors and as a selling point). mosst open world games are like this, just tedious tasks that you repeat ad nauseum with no interesting breaks or variation in the gameplay. all just so that they can claim their game is big because "BIGGER = BETTER"'. i would love a game that i can play for 200 hours and not get bored, and there are some, but most games i have played get stale around the 15-20 hour mark (or don't get interesting until that point, and have a bunch of boring padding at the beginning).

>>713776840
OP is just an eternal contrarian. he's actually a serial poster, shitting on random games for YEARS. he also remakes his same threads frequently. proof is above, his rant about RE7 and alien isolation.

You keep posting this and you're still gay and wrong, blood dragon and instincts are the only good far cry games.
Even if you didn't like it it's still better than the others and you should hate them as well.
>I finally played FC3 recently
How many years ago was that, at this point?

unmodded Stalker
it's just unplayable and the setting isn't something special either.

>>713779312
Why should I hate Far Cry 3 and 5 other than the fact that they're AAA?

>>713771823 (OP)
>first statement is completely wrong
not reading the rest

>>713780717
Why are you in denial about what it was trying to do? It tries to change several things from vanilla FC3 to make it like a 90's FPS but utterly fails at them. FC3 works because you're playing ostensibly a human person and in Blood Dragon you're playing a cyborg, yet you still do things like carry 4 weapons and are unable to run and shoot at the same time.

>enter blood dragon thread
>it's RE schizo

>>713780717
and yet you replied
curious!

>>713778013
Let's pretend I am being contrarian.

There's nothing contrarian about liking Alien Isolation. The fuck? You actually encounter the Xeno unlike Jack, and Working Joes are a far more memorable enemy design than the black goo of Japanese uncreativity

this shit is just "busy work: the game"

>>713779151
I don't even understand what this shit is about. I jump around and fuck shit up fastly though

>>713772703
In Quake 4, you move faster after the halfway point.

>>713781782
>this shit is just "busy work: the game"
That criticism makes no sense at all.

>>713780124
>and the setting isn't something special either.

What else is like it and don't mention that COD shooter Metro 2033

>>713771823 (OP)
It's a pretty good non-full price expansion scraped together from the assets of previous game to keep the cost down, but I agree about it being overrated
The game being short is good though because ubislop checklist game shouldn't be longer than 10 hours, all of the games they release is long for the sake of being long, and that's why I find it better than FC3 (although FC in genenral is a meh series)

>>713783842
But the games only side content is checklist bullshit (Look at the games achievements)

I can at least say FC3 and FC5 have fun missions and as a texas holdem poker chad, I miss when games would add it randomly as a gameplay feature.

>>713771823 (OP)
The problem with Blood Dragon is that its aesthetics clash with its gameplay too much for it to work properly

>>713783492
I only played it until the bar. the world seemed basic to me, just fields and barns, not much atmosphere. like, I could compare it to Operation Flashpoint. I did have way more fun with the first two metro games.

You are a zoomer. Lol
Everyone played that game already and it was a breath of fresh air at the time

>>713781291
you are contrarian because you just shit on games that are generally accepted as good for no other reason than to get a response. why else would you make the same RE7 thread over and over? why would you make the same darksiders thread over and over? why do you keep making this blood dragon thread over and over?

>>713780952
>it's RE schizo
i feel like there are too many RE schizos to have one that you just call "RE schizo", especially when he makes threads about all sorts of games. i dunno what i'd call this guy, maybe "hours played schizo" or something.

>>713784815
Cheevo schizo? Dickwaving schizo?

>>713784994
you know what? "cheevo contrarian" sounds about right to me.
