Mad Max was cool as fuck, even if it had some problems, and i enjoyed JC2 and 3, but it feels like Avalanche is going to end up like TellTale, if they keep expanding like this, on the back of buggy mediocre games.
I hope Rage 2 is a hit for them.

I think they're easily better managed than Telltale was, SE obviously put some stringent limitations on JC4's dates that crunched things hard. Bethesda seems to be giving them a surprising amount of latitude with Rage 2 all things considered.

They seem to be aiming for different scope/scale projects, whereas Telltale was recreating the same thing over and over without ever fixing any of the pipeline issues.

indeed their projects seem more ambitious, but they also seem more expensive.

Wish them the best though, I like their shit.

The enhanced edition of Persona 5 might be announced in a few hours as the anime is showing a special episode and there is supposed to be an announcement at the end of it.  As Joker is in Smash Bros., a Switch version seems reasonable.

the first one is, with V2 and after they start getting more obsessed with the bullet cam than anything

sniper: ghost warrior has undergone a similar transition, where early in the first one you have to stay silent and time shots and advances to wind and noise, then by the middle of the second game you're wall-running no-scoping as people's heads explode all around you

Witcher will give you more time for your money. Horizon looks good and doesn't overstay its welcome, plus there's some good DLC (which I havent played).

I'd prob pick Horizon personally

I'd go for W3 no doubt.

Horizon has better combat, but i found it boring as shit, and couldn't finish it.
The world feels really dead and unnatural, and the dialog is pretty trite stuff.

Witcher 3 has an amazing world and some great quests/writing instead, which, for a massive RPG is more important in my opinion.
The 2 DLCs are also great (especially Heart of Stone).

The Virgin Horizon
- Fights robots in empty spaces
- Has no plough
- Has only one dissapointing playable character
- Certified Sony entertainment walking simulator
- Developed by politically correct Dutch weed smokers outsourcing their art to China


The Chad Witcher 3
- Gets into bar fights with swords within 5 minutes of starting the game
- Fights monsters, demons, vampires and knights in cool dungeons like environments
- Ploughs all the good looking characters
- Best WRPG of the decade or maybe all time
- Developed in Poland by an army of chads

HZN open world is boring tho, and fighting humans sucks, it would've worked better as a Monster Hunter clone.

HZD open world is a joy to explore, it's fucking gorgeous and discovering all the different robots is amazing. You fight way more robots than humans, and yes fighting the humans is boring but over quickly in most instances.

And I thought the story was vastly more interesting than the main story in Witcher 3 because I didnt give a fuck about Ciri and finding her.

Nevermind it's the first open world game Guerilla has ever done, and while there are certainly things that could be better, they knocked it out of the fucking park. Never did I think I would see such an impressive title from a dutch developer.

The poor world building is the problem for me.
The landscape just doesn't look very natural, and the population just stands around doing nothing.
This would've been fine in 2010, but nowadays the standards for open worlds is way higher.
The people feel more robotic than the robots in that game.

I think the combat sucks. It’s basically the combat from the new Tomb Raider games but fighting robots.

I can see why people like it, but it never clicked for me.

Traps??

In Witcher 3 you would just ram your sword down the throat of some scum and villainy by day and plough some thot sidewitch in the evening to complete a quest.

Yeah you can buy various weapons like that do way more damage and you can set traps with them. Arrows are only used for weakpoints. You did know they had weak points right haha

Either way I think its unfair to compare games like RDR2 and HZD to Witcher 3, as they can build on two previous games and books worth of lore and interesting tales.

Also neither HZD or rdr2 are rpgs..

I keep trying to find a cool HZD weapon guide or a video showcasing all the possibilities, but I can only find terrible ones made by a dutch guy with a horrible horrible accent.

Fuck it. Just don't use the bow on everything, make sure to set traps etc. In my opinion I would advise doing the hunting ground challenges as they will teach you some cool methods of taking the robots out in an effective manner.

Open world.
Dialogue choices.
Quests and optional sub quests.
Skill tree.

Far Cry 5?

Oh that doesn't have dialogue choices. But if those are your arguments, then almost every game is an rpg now.

Which is fucking bullshit.

They are just action adventure games, that incorporate a few elements from RPG's. That doesn't make the game an rpg.

Is God of War an rpg as well?


Also in a lot of ways I feel like devs are adding these 'rpg-lite' systems to games to artificially lengthen their playtime, see Assassins Creed Odyssey.

I personally don't give a shit what someone calls them, but you're the one arguing the line isn't blurry, i'm saying it is.  :doge

Every other game incorporates rpg-lite elements, and Witcher 3 isn't particularly deep, as far as rpg mechanics go, compared to stuff like Divinity or what have you, so they meet in the middle.

That cheeky list i posted you can apply to Witcher 3 and Horizon interchangeably, and that was my point, they are very comparable games.

Well personally I don't think they are comparable at all.

The rpg'ness in HZD is very very very light. Sure you can talk to a few people. There are even about 5 or 6 sidequests in the game.

But the meat and bones of the game is the combat with mech dino's and the story it tells. Leveling up almost has no meaning because you get every skill anyway at the end of the tree. Which isn't possible in W3.

I don't think I would compare them, because if HZD is an RPG according to you, then RDR2 would also be an rpg.
