I think your 2nd paragraph hits on the issue for me, part of the entertainment of BRs is that ring placement is a major factor in determining who wins a game. I understand why players want to make it irrelevant and reduce the randomness to zero but the randomness is why the entire genre works. Ensuring that even worse…

its very easy but pretty fun, the last like 4 hours though tilted me pretty hard i hated every minute lol

the problem in xcom isn’t that your character misses a 95, its that the game encourages/(forces depending on difficulty) you to flank aggressively however in these situations you are punished very harshly if you roll badly.

You need a pretty high tolerance to replay the witcher 1, if you’ve suffered enough early RPGs its fine as your used to bugged janky games like it, or Gothic for example and games of that ilk,

The books are similar in that regard, the show is pretty faithful but action tends to be sudden but infrequent.

the shouting made it into an 80-85 game, which is exactly what it is but you have to remember they get held to an impossibly high standard as well which simultaneously makes the game pretty good and a failure.

It won’t be for PS3 unless something crazy happens, the rest is pretty trivial if they actually want to do it/its worth the cost.

I’ve done it for years If anyone links me a cinematic trailer only i immediately zzzzz, if its really cutting edge like blizzard do i’ll watch it for its own sake but it hasn’t hyped me for a game for at least a decade lol

Lmfao I really want to own a Rextangle they shoulda gone with this

I’m busting in to shit on the list as specifically told not to! Dragon age 2 wasn’t better than 1 but was better than 3.

sounds like the script writer for a bunch of upcoming blockbusters

Lol I get that too trust me but halo was very prominent in the demographic shift towards consoles in general as well as FPS games heading in that direction.

this is the correct take IMO halo was a first fps for a bunch of players but the real piece where it stands out was the co-op and split screen elements.

I always want more xcom type games i’ve played the lot! give me more!

Some moments in Resi 6 play great but you can genuinely teach a class on game development mistakes using it. Mercenaries mode is an absolute blast if you get going with it but the main game? Eh

i’ve got a pretty limitless appetite for this type of game so ima saunter over and check it out I think.

I checked most of those but the thing is that not only is 83 still the lowest on that list, Death Stranding is in practically every category if you go to vote lol.

Very true it hasn’t been the hottest year but considering death stranding is nominated in practically every category i do think there is more competition in some of them than others.

You raise a good point but when is the last time a game of the year had an 83? Like i’m kinda surprised its that low i’ve not really been following how it was received just that some loved and some hated.

Edgelord inc, Awards are dumb and when they started doing them for games I died a little inside and have never recovered.
