Soapbox: Why I'm Less Excited for Deathloop on PS5 Than I Should Be

As State of Play looms.

[neutralgamer1992]

Sure that's fine there are so many other games which are being released on weekly basis we all have different games we like different types so just enjoy something else that you are more interested in

[Flawlessmic]

To be honest when i firat saw and heard about, i wasnt interested at all. But the more iv seen of it the more im thinking this gonna be a day 1 purchase.

Each to his own though, definitely is not a game for everyone, or even myself for that matter generally speaking

[Vaud-Villian]

I remember my first beer

[jznrpg]

Yeah it looks pretty good to not bad but not Sony first party good . I’ll probably play it at some point but I’d guess it will be a PS plus game at some point or super cheap used around the timed deal is over to add to my physical collection . It’s not a day one must have game to me for sure but I’ll probably play it someday , I think , maybe lol .

It looks a lot like dishonored, it must be set in the same universe or something cuz the protagonist is using 2 of the exact same powers as in dishonored.

[blackblades]

No they are not in the same universe going by they had the tattoos this guy dont but who knows they could be just different times like future. Some of the same power yeah because its the same team that did dishonored. Just think of it as dishonored meets rogue-like.

[Zeref]

Yeah that's what i'm saying it might be set in the Dishonored universe but in the future.

I guess we'll see when the game comes out.

[Snakeeater25]

Because it’s release to late

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

Imagine doubting Arkane. They're one of the most consistent studio out here.

The rogue like elements and the Juliana character are what's putting me off this game.
The idea of the loop sounds interesting but not in a big AAA open map game. They've already changed the rules and concept slightly since it's reveal. And now we get 2-3 lives to rewind time a bit if you die. They keep adjusting the original concept, which itself is a good idea for a small indie game, but not for a AAA game to sink tens of hours into.
This would make a great level for Dishonored 3, but as a full game, needs more IMO.
Would just like this to be a faster playing Dishonored, scrap the rogue like elements and loop idea, scrap Juliana ( a character that pops up every now and then to try and hinder your progress, yeah sound like fun and not utterly frustrating) and I would be all over this.

Worried for the future of Arkane, first this and then Redfall which looks like it will be the 100th uninspired co-op open world undead killing game to release next year.
Just give us Dishonored 3 or Prey 2 FFS.

Everybody is doing roguelikes, I cant do them though. I like to feel progression rather than playing the same parts over and over to progress. Its like theyre padding games with replayability by making you do the same thing repeatedly. Not a fan of that.
