NoobFeed writer Linden says, "The Christmas period represents the last big push of the year for developers and publishers to get their software into the hands of the public. It’s also one of the busiest, making it tricky to navigate so many releases and decide which ones to spend your hard-earned money on".
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
100% agree
All these ubisoft titles, Farcry, AC, Ghost recon, boast huge maps, but with the same, 3 missions or the same base to clear 100s of times. Hour 1 of any of those titles is the same as hour 100, there big for the sake of being big, with the illusion of player freedom, where we really want depth and player expression.
Give me a solid 15-20 hour engaging single player driven IP any day. Life's too short you dig.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
Like a huge game world to truly get absorbed into? GameSpew has rounded up the best open world games on PS5.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and more at lowest prices ever in Ubisoft August 2023 Switch eShop sale.
Firstly, shame on you for not including Marvel's Spiderman: Miles Morales; that game will shift PS5 consoles.
My money's on Cyberpunk 2077. I won't have time for any other game... well, maybe I'll make time for the aforementioned Miles Morales SPiderman game
Looking forward to Watch Dogs: Legion in a few days. I'll temporarily subscribe to UPlay+ on PC in November for Watch Dogs and AC: Valhalla. $30 total for both games.
Of course, I'll buy Cyberpunk 2077. Game looks amazing.
If I can land a PS5 then Spider-Man Miles Morales will be in that list as well. Next two months are going to be overflowing with games.
Cyberpunk, WD Legion and Immortals Fenyx (will need to see more on that one though) for me.
Demons Souls all the way for me, can almost touch it now , cant wait!
Cyberpunk and AC for me
