Fair enough. I literally could not think of one game that didn't follow the Ubisoft Formula™ when I read your original post.
OP
So obviously some games can qualify for multiple categories as RDR2 and Doom Eternal did here.
Glad to see Hades got a nod as it deserves it, but it will get destroyed here by the legions of RDR2 fans. Ah well. At least I feel confident that Doom Eternal WON'T win that group.
OP
I remember watching this one video after the Game Awards where she was Interviewing the EX Halo devs that are working on a PVE game set in some snow place.
She had a co host that person seemed to be much more enthusiastic and a lot of what Andrea was saying sounded very "fake" like she didn't really care. Which I do think is a shame because like a said the other person did seem very enthusiastic about a number of topics.
I wonder what happened, because Gamespark asked SEGA about it and they said NO that Japan would not be getting the games. This was about 1-2 weeks ago that they said that.It seems that Yakuza 3 - 6 remastered will release simultaneous in Japan
Do we know if SEGA has some kind of exclusivity deal in Japan with Sony, so these games only get released on Playstation there?
I did enjoy all the games people linked, I was mainly referring to Ubisoft games from the last several years. Child of Light was another solid Ubi game that was different.
Some of the comments in the article mention that may be the case
XB1/Win10/Steam『龍が如く』3～6の日本配信はなし……セガ回答 | Game*Spark - 国内・海外ゲーム情報サイト
またもや『龍が如く』シリーズのXB1/PC版の国内配信はなし。
www.gamespark.jp
And it does look like a decent amount of people we're not happy especially with how the other Yakuza games you can play on PC.
And in their new article Gamespark even mentions how SEGAs new announcement contradicts what they told them a week ago.
2077 and they cant even get flying cars right
Where co op/multiplayer at?Looking good. Blackbird has done an incredible job on this game.
Edit: Performance is very unstable with this latest update. Sudden framerate drops in Javelin levels. I'd wait for hotfix first.
Ubisoft really had a good run there for a little while. Wish they'd try more stuff like Rayman, Child of Light, Grow Home, Valiant Hearts, etc. Surely they have plenty of resources to allocate to small games.
Speaking of Ubisoft smaller games, I started playing Starlink too thanks to the recent giveaway, and it's actually pretty good?
You get into action right from the get go. There are resources gathering too, but they're not as robust as NMS. You can also explore the whole planet (by hovering or flying) and jump between planets with the hyperdrive seamlessly. Another contrast difference is that there are actual characters and story in Starlink, as well as quests. You can choose between the available ships and customize the weaponry as you wish or depending on the situation. And just like Ubisoft games, there are lots of "outposts" to conquer for loots. Oh, and the ship combat is fun.
It's like a more fun and action-ey version of No Mans Sky.

Probably not too soon. Performance is bad even in singleplayer.
Andrea defended Anthem even after it was released. She will never admit that she was wrong. Greg is similar but he sometimes do admit he is wrong. All in all they are bigger shills than half of YouTubers and Twitch streamers who get regularly accused for shilling XD
And regarding Wildlands and Ubisoft games in general. In Wildlands they got core gameplay loop right and it feels somewhat satisfying to clear outpost without raising alarm or anyone noticing. But in the other hand because everything is "systemic" (it never is in Ubisoft games because that would require advanced AI and AI in Ubisoft games is basically this group will walk around this area and this one will walk here, add to that variousother issues too) often doing that is not possible so you end up in situations that are not your fault and that is frustrating. And no matter how good is core gameplay loop doing it for 100th time gets boring. Add to the list lack of proper mission design (and did i mention AI that socks?) And you get bored fast.
For example game tells you to steal moving vehicle, you put damn helicopter or the huge armored SUV in the middle of the narrow road and NPC that it is driving car doesn't stop, it rams vehicle that is blocking the road until their car explodes and mission fails.
But it is relaxing to play because it is mindless shooter set in beautiful location.
Damn. I guess RDR2 is just that huge that even with votes split, it could qualify for two.
No wonder why no Alyx, is still niche but still sad to see it only got nominated to best VR game, oh well.
In general I'm quite happy with the nominations tho.
RDR2 is living, interactive open world done right. Probably my PC GOTY.
This. At that time, Ubisoft was my favorite publisher. How low did they fall since then.
We can go back even further to the beggining of the 2000's and still find a great period for Ubi with things like BGE, PoP, Splinter Cell.
Their downfall can be traced to FC3, when they started applying the AssCreed formula to every single one of their releases. It's a small miracle that during that timeframe things like Grow Home or Rayman released at all.

Immortals Fenyx Rising isn't just one of the best Ubi games in years, it's also one of my favorite games this year.
Not a joke, Im serious, loved it.

I feel like Fenyx Rising would have had serious legs on Steam, with a ton of positive reviews and whatnot. Back to forgetting it exists until it's given away for free.

The deluxe edition is cheaper here for those who want the complete game
IndieGala has 15% cheaper when using crypto money, how does it work? Do I have to pay with crypto coins, or does the extra discount work with crypto connected debit card?
Really petty in my opinion, I would've expected better from an industry professional :/.
The Anno series! Now with more towers to climb and feathers to collect!
I started Wasteland 2.
What ? I have to create four fucking characters (yeah, I know, the pre-generated...) ? Allocate points in a decently sized skill tree ? Read all the fucking info bubbles to invest points where I want them to be ?
And this is the extant of skin I have to make my character ? (abysmal)
And you seriously put 10 or so portraits ? (laughable)
Oh, and thanks for the non subbed intro too.
And by the way, for a sequel so distant from the first game, this feel awfully like someone who played the first would have a far better grasp of the world.
I hate Wasteland 2 !
...
Play for some time, do some skill check, resolve a conflict with dialog.
...
I love Wasteland 2 !
I still have doubt about the viability of my team when they will have to fight a real fight and not a giant toad. They can't hit for shit, ammos and stimpack look expensive, I have no idea how I will put my skill points when leveling up too (toaster !, I have to put point in toasters !)

I don't think the spirit of the joke is really well-conveyed in the middle of the hatefest the game is in :/. It feels like more of the same, and I expect better from professionals for whom the reality of gamedev is known.
The "Sakurai" post comes from a parody account. Notice the extra "i" in the username. Here's the real one: https://twitter.com/sora_sakurai
Ah yes, when I think Soviet Republic, I think of great airport construction, a blooming tourist industry and of course beautiful attractions made from their own produced aluminium industry.
Why did that place go bankrupt? ☭

Discussion - What are the CRPGs of 2021 ?
Title says it all. I don't have time to make a perfect OT (like I always do :fashionblob:), but this is an important topic. What are we expecting on the muder/diplomacy hobo front. A quick google search gave me a video of relative interest about 6 games, and a ton of now irrelevant old videos...

Finji better put Wilmots Warehouse on sale. I liked what I played of it on EGS (freebie) and they also put it on game pass, but none of them supports cheevos for it. It's maddening. That's another complaint of mine for EGS, there is no info on the store page of a game if the game has cheevos or not, so you actually have to hunt down info on the net if a game has cheevos on EGS or you have to buy it yourself and find out.
Actually, the fact that cheevos on game pass is 50/50 chance is stupid as hell. Also the fact that the vast majority of games on game pass doesn't track time played like with FH4 is annoying as hell.

Yeah, Wasteland 2 is a slow burn. Things are pretty scarce and more challenging in early game, especially with all the micromanagement. But as you get more skills and better weapons and ammos, it'll get more manageable mid-game. It's also a kickstarter game so things are quite janky. But it's a great cRPG.
