Yup I do not buy single player games that have monitizacion, indiana jones game was so far game of the year for me
Spider-Man 1, 2, Miles Morales & Dragonage: Veilguard also deserve to be mentioned. I'll buy a game on launch at full price if it's not loaded down with bullshit or shoving the rest of the game behind a paywall. Otherwise I'll just be a patient gamer and get it in a few years cheaper and patched up.
Making inoffensive microtransactions is such a tightrope walk. Just putting an up-front price is so much simpler on their end.
Hell yeah! Give us more of that!
This is pure unadulterated copium. Numbers don't support this
Regardless, I'm tired of this shit. There is clearly room for both.
What about games like Fortnite? Are they rewarded?
I would say its less that they're "rewarded" and more like they're turning every customer upside down and shaking them until the money falls out
I enjoy single player, story driven campaigns like the new GOW, BG3, and spider-man, just to name a few. Would I like KC:D2 and CO:E33?
KCD is unique, personally I love it. In some ways it's kind of the dark souls of first person RPG. The systems are at times a bit clunky, combat is hard, complex, and both you and your character need a lot of training to be profficient.
But that's the fun of the game. Henry is a useless lump at the start, and you mold him in to what you want.
Personally, I love hardcore challenging single player games, and few in recent years match KCD.
I dont have a system to play KCD2 yet, but from everything I've seen, the developer doubled down and kept the majority of the systems in place, just adding scale and polish.
I'm sure the first one is on discount these days, and highly recommend it.
KCD2 is exactly like KCD1 with a few more years of development refining and in some cases expanding the rpg systems, a new map, and a continuation of the story. It feels the same, just a little nicer. In other words, it’s a perfect sequel.
The only fault I have with it is that Henry starts the game bad to mediocre at most things instead of useless, and that beginning stage is my favorite to go through and out of. But being a sequel I can excuse it pretty easily.
