yeah but people play through good games twice
Oh, I did? The chapter being named "A Normal Life" wasn't enough of a clue? Drake shooting a toy gun after reminiscing about his old adventures wasn't blatant enough?
Yep i feel a lot of gamers have this in todays society. The only games in my opinion that do these sections right is sony because they actualy have good characters, actors, story, music, etc. the only small section sony went a little long in all the games i played of theirs was rangnarock atreus riding that thing with the girl part. That was the only part that went a little long and was a little slow. When i play non sony games like monster hunter wilds those are the ones that just arent that good because non sony studios really lack big time on a lot of things but id never complain because i dont have the need to be doing something 24/7 adhd smart phone tik tok, style addictions kids have today. They cant play something with substance or listen to long form content.
The irony of that post is that long drawn out sections are an hallmark of modern games and the Tik Tok generation. Older games have none of that.
OP is an adult. Most people posting here are. "Kids these days" doesn't work when the "Kid" is the same age as you
It's not a tiny fraction. There is a LOT of that in Spiderman 2.
It doesn't have to be action all the time. Character building and world building is very important. If you want action, go play CoD.
These sections OP is talking about are to pace out the game. World building. I for one do NOT want to swing or fight every goddamn mission. Now, that is boring.
Yeah, taking out the trash is so much more fun.
It is, for just a bit. There's world building in that part. But I understand most people are wired to MTV style editing and pacing. Playing games with smartphone in their hand. Sad situation.
I see. Haven’t played part 2 yet. Looks like it’s worse than I imagined
It's only worse if you want to have action the whole time and you're the kind of person that uses a smartphone while watching movies.I see. Haven’t played part 2 yet. Looks like it’s worse than I imagined
Exactly. Those slower parts don’t have to be boring. Some of the best quests in The Witcher 3 such as the Bloody Baron questline or A Tower Full of Mice barely involve you drawing your sword out to fight. You investigate and look for clues to figure out what happened and the lore and story are built within those.
For a lot of people they are fun. They aren't for you. That's all there's to it.
Stop fucking lying. You didn’t have fun taking out the trash.
I did and I know at least 7.5 people who enjoyed it.
No, you didn’t. At best you can say it didn’t bother you, but you’re not fooling anyone claiming you had fun doing that.
Lol mate. You don't decide what I like. I said earlier that the game's pacing is there for a reason and within that context I like the slow trash can mission. I want to feel like Peter and Peter, like all of us, has to take out the trash sometimes.
Not me. Are you saying there is absolutely 0 merit to this claim and no room for improvement?
There is room for improvement, but everyone can have their own opinion and taste. This game has the objective to make you feel like Peter. Like all of us, Peter has to take out the trash sometimes. It makes the big action set pieces feel more earned.
So boring the player to make the action more "earned" is a good thing? I don’t even.
Everyone can have their own taste and opinion. We can't like everything the same mate.
I see. Haven’t played part 2 yet. Looks like it’s worse than I imagined
Their games have competent gameplay and those sections take away from the fun. I could have said RDR2, but the entire game is boring, so the walking sections don’t feel out of place or break the pacing.
As I pointed out it's a good 20-30% of the total content in the game. When you already have as much downtime as you need in terms of exploring the city and collecting spiders or whatever.
Realistically though if you just stick to the base storyline and skip the side missions it's pretty straightforward. You have the choice of whether you wanna do most of the stuff that most people complain about.
Hellblade 2 sucked
I get that. I was defending the concept too. But I haven’t played spiderman part 2. So if someone says there is way too much of it, I have to consider it. Certainly don’t think there was too much in ND games and whatever they did, grounded the story and added a layer of depth to characters.
It's just some dude's opinion. Play the game and judge for yourself. It's all subjective anyway.
No, a huge chunk of main missions are this.
Prime QTE territory. 2 Hero tokens and 400 XP if you do it right
I'll admit the pacing could have been better, it really was a bit longer than it needed to be. I don't think it's the colossal problem that people are making it out to be either though.
Finding another way around a door to pad your games length 50 times a game isn't my idea of intelligent game design.
Lmao, majority of people don't even complete games once, there is a reason why when we read a completition rate of 50% for a game we think it's an incredible result.
Even Doom Eternal has "downtime", but it's more like walking through areas without combat. If it was purely shootingtcombat for 20 hours straight, it would get boring. Or maybe boring isn't the best word. "Tiring".
These games also have downtime. But it's not at the miscalculated level of the games OP is talking about. In Vanquish, for example, it's minimal, but it's there: The voice over first-person sections at Chapter starts.
