While the changes to gameplay have been welcomed by fans as years have gone on, the long introduction and slow starting story have been a thorn in the sides of many die-hards since it first came out in 2

The first game is a bit different from the following two, focusing more on decision-making and building the universe and characters. The combat and alchemy are significantly different from the other games and take a rough few hours to really get used to, but the amazing plot alone is worth the playthro

Genshin’s not an MMO either, but it does take a variety of lessons from the genre. It has shared spaces and co-op events. Its world is designed as a progression tool of its own — hard level-gating ensures that you can’t progress through the main story without becoming intimately familiar with the area it takes place in. The fact it runs on a regularly updated individual server even plays a role here — logging in and seeing I have mail from Mihoyo reminds me of the startup UI for Final Fantasy 14 or World of Warcraft. It’s a game where every day brings something new, where you can pal around with mates in multiplayer areas or become friends with new folks who seem sound. Sure, Genshin caters to a single-player experience for those who want it — but if you’re after something a bit more sociable, especially in times like these, Mihoyo’s got loads of that for you as w

One change that should definitely be made to how MGS5 handles this system, however, is the removal of the Fulton recovery balloons that makes capturing enemies very easy. Instead, players should have to physically take Mules and Demens to different facilities, possibly to a specific few that have the ability to rehabilitate these enemies, making each recruitment a much more intimate encounter. Given that the entire narrative of Death Stranding involves connecting Sam to the other characters around him as much as connecting the United Cities of America, having the chance to rescue people would really help drive those themes h

The Land of a Thousand Fables is a beautiful place that Geralt is able to explore in The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine DLC , and it is widely considered to be one of the best creations in the entire game. The Land of a Thousand www.Advgamer.cc Fables has many different locations to see and new enemies to fight, which adds a breath of fresh air to the large

I have been playing Genshin Impact for over a month and have yet to grow bored of the world it has to offer. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t mean I spend five hours a day wandering around Teyvat — often, I log in for 20 minutes or so just to box off my daily commissions and tackle a sidequest or two. I firmly believe that this is Genshin Impact’s greatest stren

This is a bit of a heavy topic for a game to take, but Death Stranding 's best moments come from jumping into really tough situations, like Higgs' backstory and the Chiral Artist's relationship with the Junk Dealer. The same situation might not work as well with Demens, considering the ideological difference there not being something that can be so easily handwaved with a "because video game" mechanic. However, including these enemies can open up for new options that only some players might even see by the end, but could have a huge impact on the experience and perception of the game wo

Although this occurrence can be explained by the developers forgetting to take out the voice line when creating the unicorn, it still doesn't make any sense since most people wouldn't name a horse that they've just met and will only use for a few hours, let alone give it the exact same name as their horse that is waiting outs

Probably the most recognizable western RPG of all time, Skyrim is something of a behemoth in the RPG world. The game’s iconic icy tundra is a welcome home to many players, including those who had their first foray into the Elder Scrolls series through Skyr

As such, you can use emotes. What's even better is that emotes can change the outcome of cutscenes and NPCs can react to your expressions. If you start mocking them, it's likely they won't take it well.

Maybe it’s just me. I enjoy playing Final Fantasy 14 the odd time and liked Runescape when I was a kid, but aside from that I’m not a big MMO guy. Fable, though... Fable’s different. I remember spending entire days with friends just traipsing around Albion in split-screen, causing as mighty a ruckus as humanly possible. It’s probably the most enthusiastic I’ve ever been about playing a game, at least in terms of actively responding to it — laughing, shouting at the screen, calling NPCs names befitting their animated and imbecilic selves. I think having at least some online elements — preferably the exact ones I assigned to Genshin above — would allow us to really tap into that same experiential nostalgia that made Fable what it was. I don’t want loads of fetch quests tied to MMO grinding — which Genshin has lots of, but fortunately doesn’t force you into — or to have some leech come up and steal my loot after taking down a massive dragon lad or whatever. But I do want to be able to share the experience of playing Fable with other people, because that’s always what made Fable special, and different from other games. It just gave you and whoever you were playing with this mutual, magical sense of joy. Regardless of what Playground does with Albion, gnomes, and Reaver — _ please _ bring Reaver back — I reckon I’ll be delighted with the new Fable game once it lets me play through the story like the previous ones without locking me out of its unique form of co-op delinquency and debauch
