Somehow it got nominated for the "most innovative gameplay" in the Steam awards. Absolute joke

IDK, it's been awhile since someone had the audacity to make something so repetitive and pass it off as AAA gameplay.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago

It required true innovation to make a game this aggressively mediocre and bland. True

Yeah, the last time was FO4

FO76 is calling...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

you need to be able to open the game to see the bland gameplay

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT FO76.

It's completely beyond me. Bethesda fanboys had to be on some hard as shit copium to nominate it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I can't really think of any part of it that is innovative. Just basic game systems that have all been done before slapped together.

You can hate on it all you want, even say the game was boring and bland.

But the way they did New Game + was very innovative.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You have to complete the game to even play the New Game +, dont think that's what got them the nomination

That's like a film winning an award based on the director's cut

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

A directors cut you cant even watch until you watch the regular cut that no one cares for

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I thought that was a good idea, and I'm a huge fan of timeloops... But so much of the rest was poorly done that after a couple loops, you stop wanting to loop.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

True that idea was definitely cool
