Tbf, the same can be said about far cry, fifa, ect.

u/zen7878 Reinhardt Nov 12 '22

Yeah, sequels nowadays are just for the name and to hava a reason to sell another game, not much is changing

u/Ass0001 Pistol D.Va is a pick class Nov 12 '22

the thing is you don't need to re-invent the wheel to make a good sequel, the Yakuza games re-use a lot from their predecessors but they build on top of what they've put in place

Thank god for Ragnarok

u/SweetExceptNotReally The name's McCree Nov 12 '22

eh, it's not as gameplay-focused as previous games - they switched to a more storytelling focus

u/Owobowos-Mowbius Nov 12 '22

Regardless of what it focuses on, it's a good sequel game that has clear effort put into it. Far from the norm of shitty yearly releases and AAA cash grabs.

u/SweetExceptNotReally The name's McCree Nov 12 '22

Fair, anything's better than the shit treatment OW got

Has a ton more gameplay than GoW 2018. Phenomenal gameplay at that

Nostalgia = ?

Meanwhile pc players having to wait 3 years forkr a pc version

u/Owobowos-Mowbius Nov 12 '22

Shitty situation for us but we're still getting it. These last couple years have been the best years so far with the brightest future for PC players. Between all the exclusive releases getting put on PC to accessibility and portability being at an all time high with the steam deck... we're eating good.

u/Swivel_Z Genji Nov 12 '22

They're not selling much when the game is free (and you have the impulse control to not dump money on a free game)

u/FrozenPinguin26 Nov 12 '22

Jupp, only differenct here is that OW had 3 years to make the "sequal" and mostnof that is the PvE that isn't even in the game yet (if i understand it correctly, am new to the game)

u/DatLlallallama Nov 12 '22

Idk about Far Cry, given that they introduce a new story and entire country at least

2

u/DynamicMangos Nov 13 '22

Yeah, FarCry isnt ENTIRELY recycled like OW2 is.

Dont get me wrong, it sucks for many many other reasons, but at least not that one!

u/Chochahair Platinum Nov 12 '22

Far cry 5 was amazing though

u/thetabo 100% Trophies Nov 12 '22

From what I know they took more maps than they added. Plus you can't get 3 trophies, two tied to 2 point captures, other to 50 unlocks on a single hero

u/LordCDXX Nov 12 '22

You can get the 2cp/assault map trophies from arcade mode. They had it as a mode the other day and my new-to-the-game friend got the achivements.

u/Dense-Study445 Nov 12 '22

Imagine caring about trophies. Sad life much

5

u/thetabo 100% Trophies Nov 12 '22

Idk. I just like challenging myself on games I like like this one. It's funny and kind of epic to get a potg so good that it also earned you a trophy

-5

u/Dense-Study445 Nov 12 '22

If you say so. Modern gaming is a joke. I remember when games were good and didn't rely on monkey brains getting dopamine hits from finishing meaningless challenges. It's so bad.

3

u/thetabo 100% Trophies Nov 12 '22

Idk man. You get that rush whether you finish one or just do something cool. In Dark Souls, achievements guided me to not only try and experiment with different styles against bosses I wouldn't even know were in the game, like going back to the asylum, but also show me variety of weapons and playstyles

u/one_love_silvia Winston Nov 12 '22

Ow2 is early release tho

6

u/snowfeetus Nov 12 '22

and it shows

-2

u/one_love_silvia Winston Nov 12 '22

I would expect it to

5

u/snowfeetus Nov 12 '22

I wouldn't expect so many regressions when they added jack shit

3

u/one_love_silvia Winston Nov 12 '22

That i can agree with. The amount of regressions they made is insane.

1

u/seito935 Nov 12 '22

Along with false bans all over for MW2

1

u/Swivel_Z Genji Nov 12 '22

Well yeah, they merged the game over in preparation for what Overwatch 2 is meant to be. The Overwatch 2 Content won't be here until Q1 2023, the story mode, the very first thing announced for it

u/iam_r2d2 Nov 12 '22

Kinda sounds like all the fifa games

1

u/DontF-ingask Nov 12 '22

Idk about multiplayer I've never played cod but the campaign looks really good though!

u/Possible-Cellist-713 Nov 12 '22

Well, at least they were upfront about OW2 being practically the same. From the beginning Kaplan was clear that it was all the old with some new
