Why does woke broke some franchises but not others?

QTEs are annoying but at least they are usually pretty short also the degree of annoyance depends if you have to redo the whole game section or you get a checkpoint right before it.
Unskippable cutscenes are far more annoying.

Knights of Al-Aqsa Mosque has better acheivements.

I bought that game awhile back, is it any good? I haven't really played it.

Anyone who releases a game that makes **** kvetch gets my support.

Its just a meme. Its playable, but its only funny for a few missions, and then you'll never play again.

How to grade games:

On a scale of 1-10, the overwhelming majority of games are 0s. 0s are unfinished games. They may be playable, but they are trash and the developers lied, stole, and vastly over promised, or went woke. Moving on, we have 1s and 2s. These are playable games. They're even finished. The developer delivered on things they promised. (There's no rainbow/ukranean flag, unless the dev is ukranean in ukrane, or a combat vet/active in the war.) However, these 1s and 2s don't do anything well. They're pump and dump games, good for a few hours, then get uninstalled. 3s-4s are the same, but they're good for a few weekends. They're your guilty pleasures. 5s are good games. You aren't ashamed to make them visible in your steam library. 6-7 are when you return to the game every few years. 6s and 7s are only good, but they are replayable good. Now we enter flawless territory, or games which did nothing wrong AND did everything above good. First among the flawless are 8s. 8s are great. 9s are masterpieces. 10 is perfect. There's only ever been one 10. That's the scale.

*I forgot to add, all nostalgiabait are 1s and 2s.

[H-H-Holmes]

People care what's in their steam library?
Hmm, now that I think about it I should probably yeet DE out of there ..

The only perfect game is HoMM3.

HoMM2 is better than 3 though.

for some reason this meme asset-flip is making lots of money. Already at 6k+ positive reviews.

Here's a whitepill, everyone!

Guess TLOU2 and the remake of TLOU1 didn't do all that well.

[rusty_shackleford]

iirc TLOU2 didn't even recoup development costs according to the financials leak, and the development cost was over 2x what they publicly stated.

[wndrbr]

the remake of TLOU1 didn't do all that well.

https://metro.co.uk/2023/05/24/the-last ... -18836872/

Sony's crown jewel, the award-winning masterpiece TLOU1, sold only 400 000 copies on pc.

Somehow I doubt the bad PC port is to blame. Lots of other bad ports still sell well just on name recognition alone, yet the beloved TLOU1 failed. Why? Maybe it's because TLOU as a franchise is effectively dead.

I have if they'll kill Joel off in the TV show as well, if it even lasts that long.

Moral of the story? Don't let a greasy Jew chase off all your talented writers so he can warp the franchise into his private masturbatory fantasy.

I have no idea how NG plans to go forward now that they have effectively killed TLOU. Uncharted as a franchise is played out, though I can imagine them reviving it if they are desperate enough, only to **** it up by making Cuckmann's obnoxious sheboon Mary Sue the protagonist.

[wndrbr]

It's surprising to me that they axed the multiplayer spinoff. Seems like something the out-of-touch execs would be happy to release.

[maidenhaver]

Uncharted. I was trying to remember that name in another thread.

I've never played a naughty dog game. Probably because I missed all the 2010-2018 games except Skyrim.

Crash Bandicoot 2 is fun

[rusty_shackleford]

Capital Command is a space-sim that puts you in charge of a powerful capital ship doing battle in the far reaches of space. The AI in charge of local defense has gone rogue, and at this distant frontier outpost, you're the only chance of restoring order. Your crew follows your every command as you give orders to navigators, gunners, repair teams, and engineers, directing a large, cumbersome ship equipped with an expansive arsenal.



Face the unique challenge of conflict in space - where threats can come from all sides and split-second judgments can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Ships move realistically, and whether you automate navigation or adjust your thrust vectors manually, you'll both fight against and embrace inertia in the vacuum of space.
Six degrees of freedom means you can move in all directions at any time, adjusting pitch, roll, and yaw as you try to find your targets while dodging their attacks.
Spot your enemies from hundreds of kilometers away and plan your approach vector to isolate and outmaneuver them.
Adjust your angles to make sure the right weapons can hit the right targets. Position your point defense turrets to lay down a protective screen against incoming missiles, while your own missiles and solid projectile salvos return fire.

Might be neat, anyone played the demo?

This one is quite good, but it doesn't feel like HoMM2. Fheroes2 is the best option available for playing HoMM2.

But Druckmann and Stanley were the original creators of TLOU though, right? How they managed to **** up the sequel so much is beyond me. TLOU, for all of its faults, had superb 'acting' and VA, which carried it.
Naughty Dog's dive is weirder than most other studios', since the people who presided over the decline did start off superbly well, but then decided to throw that all away.

TLOU was also already remastered for the PS4 back in 2014, and it was a big hit so most of the people that wanted to play the game have already played it. PS5 re-release is a cash grab.
Also, looking at the character overhauls, it seems that they've made everyone look the wrong age for some reason. Joel almost as old as in the 2nd, Tess looks 5-10 years off, Ellie just looks .. weird. ND is done.

[gerey]

No, he just did what **** do and stole credit after chasing out all the talented writers at NG. Bruce Straley was the main driving force behind the writing of TLOU1. Cuckmann gave us the DLC where Ellie became a **** and you can go on a lesbian date with an underage black girl. Cuckmann also wrote the sassy black mercenary **** in the Uncharted game, and shat out TLOU2, which ultimately killed the franchise.

**** me. Can we put a hit out on Cuckman?
