Games Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what do you think of it?

Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what do you think of it?

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 02:09 PM PDT

Please use this thread to discuss whatever you've been playing lately (old or new, any platform, AAA or indie). As usual, please don't just list the names of games as your entire post, make sure to elaborate with your thoughts on the games. Writing the names of the games in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.

Please also make sure to use spoiler tags if you're posting anything about a game's plot that might significantly hurt the experience of others that haven't played the game yet (no matter how old or new the game is).

Since this thread is likely to fill up quickly, consider sorting the comments by "new" (instead of "best" or "top") to see the newest posts.

For a subreddit devoted to this type of discussion during the rest of the week, please check out /r/WhatAreYouPlaying.

F1 2018 is the latest in the long-running F1 series from Codemasters.

  • Is F1 2018 a significant improvement over F1 2017?
  • Does the game provide a good representation of what it feels like to be an F1 driver?

Left Alive's PAX closed-door demos have been lackluster

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 06:34 PM PDT

From PC Gamer:

I watched 20 minutes of scenarios mere hours ago, but the details are already growing hazy. I haven't been bleaching my brain with an overload of new games on the packed convention center floor in those hours, Left Alive just failed to leave a lasting impression.

Starting the game with nothing and have to forage for gear may add to the tension, but the shooting that was shown to us seemed neither fresh nor appealing.

The game is early in development but it doesn't just look unfinished, it looks uninspired.

From Destructoid:

[Left Alive] sounds compelling on paper, but seeing it in action presents two very different games: one that looks good and one that does not.

I'm still not sure what to make Left Alive and quite frankly I'm baffled Square Enix agreed to show it off in this condition. The mech battle at the shipping yard is the most riveting piece of footage I'm shown, but my gut tells me it'll only make up a fraction of the final product. Everything else feels like ticks off the "Games People in the West Like" checklist, only I'm not really liking what I see.

Journalists liked what they saw of the mech action...

The final video showcases a battle in a shipping yard, where one of the Wanzers players will be able to take control of does battle with several other mechs. The action here is swift and stylish. The Wanzer piloted by the player is able to dodge, charge, and pick up weapons off fallen foes. It's a palette cleanser from the rest of the experience, where struggling to survive falls to the wayside in favor of just kicking some ass.

...but mech action will only be a fraction of the gameplay:

A Square Enix representative emphasized that the majority of the game will take place on foot

UNSUBSTANTIATED HOT TAKE: Why Square Enix thought making a game with mechs that deemphasizes mech action in favor of generic, uninspired third-person survival gameplay is beyond me. Disappointing.
