I've played every COD up until Moon edition - I'm waiting for the next great leap in terms of the genre. TTF2 was getting there but sadly over as soon as it began. I'm done with the shootman, and increasingly moving into more pugilistic tendencies. I've always had them, but am now excited for something like a new Xrd game.
If I'd bought an XBone rather than PS4 I'm sure I would've played that instead of Driveclub and enjoyed it lots.Unlikely wrote:And yet FH3 remains an absolutely magnificent, joyous experience for many of us, despite having played dozens of facing games over the years. I haven't put as many hours into a game for a very long time, mostly in single player because most of the fucking FNF crew don't bother pitching up until it's past my bed time.
Vs fighters haven't been an option for me since I stopped having friends IRL to play local MP (about the time of Tekken 3, as it happens). I can't be arsed with playing them online.WorKid wrote:I feel the same about fighties. I'd rather play Tekken 3 again than relearn movesets just for more shinies. Actually maybe TTT.

I enjoyed Driveclub so much partly because I hadn't played one in so long and it seemed fresh again, but now that's done it'll be another 10 years before the next one.
As a genre it probably just reached its limit in the early 2000s. In the end, you've only get steer, accelerate, brake and change gears, and once that's been done well a number of times there's nothing else to add except nicer graphics.

Tie Crisis and Point Blank categorically prove via the amount of arcades that they are still in and the amount of coins that fall through their fun slots that lightgun games do not suck ass, though some implementation has been lazy/stupid
The Menacer was hilarious though, you can imagine the Sega team meeting
"what about a light gun?"
"what duck hunt, that's so 8-Bit, fuck off"
"OK, lets up the ante, a light bazooka"
"Now we're talking, next gen starts here"

I think a lot of that atmosphere comes from your sneaking/running being done typically in domestic environments while the notzombies are muttering warped commentary from their previously normal lives and doing rote actions they vaguely remember. Part that stressed me out most was playing the wee lass going about a family home. The mother routinely wanders between the kitchen with rotten food on the boil and the bathroom for cleaning which adds believably to her patrol route from a design perspective. Dad is wallowing around drunk in the living room and the daughter is upstairs doing something I can't remember. Like a lot of others I'm sure, I have more respect for time as a commodity now. Mass Effect Andromeda is an example. Do I really want to spend £40+ quid on something that demands 30+ hours of investment for a subpar everything? No. I'll read one of the many books from the pile I've shamed up and get a bigger payoff. Or get distracted and play Reigns/Dandy Dungeon.

For me it was the fact that after being buggered at every turn, they suddenly stuck me in the body of an actual female infant, crawling around a hospital, it all got too much at that point
