2023 was the year of colossal live service failures and shocking indie successes. If 2024 continues the trend, maybe "AAA" companies will finally get their shit together. Either way, there'll be something fun to play.

What was wrong with it? Too woke? Some people were very upset at a certain death being done by a certain character, but no, the game is just generic nonsense that looks terrible. Apparently it is pretty fun to play but completely marred by generic objectives (defend point for X minutes against waves of enemies or shoot big purple weak spot type of shlock) and looter shooter nonsense (everyone feels the same minus one specialty move). It just...always seemed bad, no matter how hard they tried to make it seem good. Such a shame this will be the end of Rocksteady.

Initially everyone seemed to be pretty hyped at the concept and looked forward to it. Then gameplay shows its a third person shooter with every character using guns and the hype cratered and it became a laughing stock. --- Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint. ...

So yeah it's no surprise this game would fail to meet expectation, the moment you showed a live service in the same year as other live service games died out like Marvel Avengers and B4B. The only people who didn't see this coming are the literal business execs who have no idea about the gaming industry other than terms like GaaS, gacha, loot boxes, and battle passes. This means they only know which parts of the gaming market makes them money through predatory means and that's all they care about.
But anyways yeah I played the game, I didn't buy it my friend had an extra code for it, and the characters do actually have unique movesets and play differently because of the guns some characters are allow to use and the traversal options. But yes at the end of the day they all just shoot guns and that's how you literally kill the Justice League with. The game runs solid and it's pretty fun, but it's heavily marred by its GaaS model that ultimately will make sure this game will never be good. --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I am not OPPOSED to live service games (Destiny 1 and 2 and Division 1 and 2 were the ones I played the most) but they need to at least be interesting. Give me a cool map to move through that leads to a wave defense or kill x amount and that's better than just what they put on offer. I also forgot that Gotham Knights exists and is more or less a looter fighter with the Batman family, and that one crashed and burned too.

If anything, Hogwarts Legacy shows that you can make a single player game sell like crazy if you deliver on what people are actually looking for in a video game as oppose to tying a game to predatory practices...but I don't think that will be the message that will come across towards the WB execs and their shareholders. But yeah I play a lot of looter shooters and the most important thing about looter shooters is to have enough enemy diversity, mission objectives, and styles of play for self expression to where it doesn't feel monotonous to grind.

Hell I was disappointed in HL cause I was hoping it would be a little bit more like Bully with classes scheduled to take and the like. In the end I found it to be wholly underwhelming and generic aside from the setting (the castle and Hogsmeade were awesome!). But I assume most people that are hooked on HP just loved casting spells and exploring the world. IMO it would have been great if they focused on just the school and the singular town of Hogsmeade and focused more on being in the school. Maybe the dungeons and caves you go into are just fast traveled to, would have given the game more focus and less open world generic bloat. But I get what you mean, from the first reveal the feedback was NOT good and they should have taken note instead of doubling down.

Wow... all this news, Maybe Live Service games just aren't that popular after all... Well they ARE popular, but it's a one in a million shot. Like Helldivers 2 is technically live service, and it is the internet darling at the moment. You just need to like, make a game people want to play and not use it as an avenue to just nickel and dime your audience. Something most of these companies straight up don't understand. It's like they appeal to the lowest common denominator, where you just need to chase a billion pieces of minimally better gear to make an arbitrary number go up so you can...do the same things to get more gear to make a number marginally go up. Then do an end game that's the same thing. Helldivers 2 is just straight fun, and THAT is enough to go back to it. Not chasing randomized drops or grinding out an insane battle pass. Just a slow climb of power on an extremely fun ride. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u223/chocolateFRESH/arts/kraid.png - Thanks GP cosmonaut! http://i.imgur.com/TuJWAR8.jpg ...
