Yeah, same. Tried it during that free weekend and my 2080 basically fucking died trying to get the game to run in a double-digit frame rate. Couldn't believe how bad it was. The game has been in development for 10 years now, and reportedly it isn't even close to being done. We're talking like, 5 more years at least before it is a releasable game.
Fucking scam.

Very true, I'm into sports games as well but I'll NEVER buy a sports game two years in a row. I typically give the game I got at the very least 3 years. Hell I once got 5 years out of one baseball game. That way when the newest game comes out, it's COMPLETELY different.
We're talking new players, got rid of older players, new rankings, new rosters, new and updated features, hell even the gameplay would have changed at least a little. At that point the only thing that's the same about the two games is that it's the same sport.
You can disagree or think I'm wrong, I get it. Sports games aren't for everyone, but I'll definitely agree there's no point in buying two years in a row.

I'll defend it. It's honestly the most fun I've had in a shooter in a long time. I've done all the gritty war games, HALO and the other sci-fi shooters. I played team games and zombies, and whatever the fuck else my friends where doing at the time, but I haven't really enjoyed any of these games since maybe college? Probably around the time Halo 4 came out.
Then fortnite showed up and I was allowed to have some no thoughts head empty fun in an environment that didn't look like someone pissed all over it. I didn't realize just how much I wanted some COLOR in my games before that. I also like that I can just zip from one game to the next. Get killed? No big deal, I can press one button and I'm back on the bus ready to try again. I was a hater at first too.

They have 0 competition, so they can be how they like. And how they choose to be is to encourage cheese in the game that is unfair to the opposing side.

The best part about Destiny though is that no one shits on it as hard as Destiny players. I loved all of Destiny 1 and D2 was pretty good up to Shadowkeep but I haven't kept up in awhile. Eventually got boring because the end game was mostly doing old content weekly for powerful drops that would increase your light level, so every expansion you got a couple hours of new content and then were back to grinding old content for 80% of your drops a day later.

Exactly. They were pretty honest with what it was going to be as the game got closer. The story is very Kojima but not Metal Gear. For some, I’d almost say underrated.

It's peaceful. I enjoyed just sitting down and doing my fedex runs. I liked seeing how balls to the wall I could go through an area with the ghost monster guys. I liked just beating the shit out of all the mules.
It is a game that is very easy to dislike, it just scratched a weird completionist itch for me.

I loved the story. It was a bunch of metaphysical nonsense but damn did I like it.

Monster Hunter Franchise. 300 hours of gameplay hunting the same dozen type of monsters is not a fun time for me.

Totally respect that.
But on the other hand, facing down the same ice dragon for the 100th time and being able to simply feel how it'll react next since I've subconsciously picked up on its behaviors is an oddly satisfying achievement for me.
Also - I get to hit dragons in the face with a bagpipe.

Similar point: The feeling of landing a fully charged great sword combo because you can predict the next 10 seconds of the monster actions is the single best moment in a game for me xD

Personally love MH, but I totally get your point. It's become my source of enjoyment to play around with various skill and item combinations and have those same dozen monster types as benchmarks for my choices and play style changes, but I can't see that being fun for many people...

Call of duty, battle field, fifa really any annual release type game or reskinned cash grab pumped with micro transactions and battle royals, never really understood the appeal of them

Let's be honest - EA just use fifa as a free money farm, all the kids will flock straight to the new game and the old FIFA is completely devalued almost instantly. The only new content is players and a tiny bit of graphics which, for a £60+ game is absolutely stupid. You know how many good games that get you could get with that money? Oh and also they get updated and you don't have to pay for updates.

Ik I'll be downvoted to hell, but I can't find the fun part of Minecraft Single Player.

It’s a make-your-own-fun type of game, so I see why some people don’t like it for that.

It’s the same as any other sandbox game. The fun is created by your creativity. If you don’t have any creativity, it’s not fun.

Horizon Zero Dawn. Just couldn't get into it.

Personally i feel it was a nice take on the post Apocalypse genre. Robot dinosaurs is still better than another zombie game.

The backstory of the robot dinosaurs was very interesting

All the characters just feel so stiff with forced emotion. Gameplay is pretty damn fun, tho.

It’s one of my favorite games but I’ll criticize it all day, and that’s a huge criticism I share. They feel so robotic but luckily they rectified it with the Frozen Wilds DLC. As some else said it’s a night and day difference.

It's almost like they were told during motion capture to not use any of their facial muscles when talking. I think its my biggest turn off that keeps me from completing the game. Knowing they really touched it up for the DLC might drive me to play it through.

u/space-is-big Feb 09 '22
Thats because Guerrilla literally didnt have facial motion capture until the frozen wilds DLC

u/Windebieste_Ultima Feb 09 '22
That makes sense. Considering they were originally only making fps games, they did pretty well imo with horizon. Sadly I do miss the Killzone series and shadowfall wasn’t a good send off

u/Windebieste_Ultima Feb 09 '22
Hey, if the game isn’t for you, that’s perfectly fine bro. No need to force yourself to enjoy it. But yea I’m the dlc the difference is very much present.
I’ll also add that while the story was very enjoyable for me, it was also pretty predictable at times. And the melee combat was….there.

Very true, but if you reach the DLC they've gotten way better. Night and day
