This game is going to be friggen awesome, but they are notorious for patching a great game, into AN AMAZING GAME, so I am going to hold off for a few months at least. Unless someone sends me it for Christmas.

To me, the innovation in this game is: That its story looks like I'd watch a TV series about, instead of something stupid like 1 dimensional warrior or MALE (drake) clone, of FEMALE clone (laura croft), of Indiana Jones.

The most innovative thing you can do in video games IMO at this point is, stop making shitty stories with stupid characters that would get less than -5 stars if a movie reviewer or TV reviewer were to critique it.

That is the innovation games need.

What games need is gameplay. I have played DoD:Source since 2005, that game has ZERO story. What they need to do is cease making games and start making Anime or Pixar films.

mblake is a dickhole but qft. The problem is story games appeal to these bourgeois "gamers" who are "finally getting into 'gaming'". Who tend to have more disposable income, be too shallow to appreciate competitive games, and think a graphical RL Stein choose your own adventure with garbage writing is innovative for some fucking reason. ESpecially because they can finally get gaymarried in a videogame, wow, like you couldn't do that in EQ except better in 1999. They get some sense of achievement or coolness from finally joining the hip young gamer crowd. I despise these peasants. Their heads are totally full of nonsense. I can't explain enjoying these poorly written story games any other way.

It's netflix style consumption. Gotta be always consuming something "new", even though there's tons of past masterpieces and it is obvious that the media space is totally off the rails and producing almost nothing of value presently. It's a matter of identity to them.

And the truth? Representation really does matter to this "gamers" and markets incredibly well, and the market for sucking in these types will stay larger than actual gaming, which remains niche, forever. There are more stupids than smarts, and the mainstreaming of gaming means we're set back 40 years now. All we can look forward to is hopeful saturation and the development of niche companies interested in competitive gaming in the vein of HLMod shooters with a "medium" (compared to huge cutsceney voiceacted projects, but not shoestring) budgets. Right now that space is totally unfilled and it sucks dick.

anyway no VR support. sounds like it turned out shitty. Called it!

I'll be spending this weekend's gamertime having fun playing VR skyrim, which is for me the first time I ever found the game playable. and it's fun, complete and semi-unbuggy, since I waited 10 years. I even have a wang slider modded in, altho I play a wamon. Newest game I've enjoyed, unless Terraria (no story, best game of decade) came out after it, I forget.
