I never in a thousand, million, BILLION years thought I'd be saying this, but can we PLEASE go back to every protagonist being a boring generic shaved head white guy? He doesn't even need to be white or a guy. Just make something generic and stop being too clever for your own good. If anything, all these wacky designs blend together and look generic but with waaaay more effort.

"Follow the people, not the studio." Yep, that's a far more interesting way to get games. It's how I got Torchlight I & II(from creators and lead designers of Diablo I & II), Dungeon Siege & SupCom Forged Alliance(Total Annihilation Team), Dying Light (Dead Island 1/Call of Juarez devs), Ground Branch(O.G. Rainbow Six), C&C Remastered Collection(EA actually made the rare, smart move of letting ex-Westwood devs at the helm of remastering their own games). Of course, it's not a perfect way, there are also some missteps and failures along the way("Phoenix Point" on release, and "Underworld Ascendant" to this day comes to mind). So for alternative, my next bet are "fanboy games", games that are clearly made by folks that love the game they're aping. From this I got Xenonauts(X-Com), Aragami 1 & 2(Tenchu), Brigador(Crusader No Remorse), Broforce(Contra), Veloren(CubeWorld Alpha), etc...

Seems like on top of technical problems Arkane took a more light-hearted approach recently. You know, instead of some quite deep, thoughtful, serious games like Dishonored and Prey they switched to more fun-oriented tone in Deathloop and Redfall. It also shows the games have lost their depth along the way, and in my mind those bugs and other misfortunes have somehow followed suit.

Fellow gamers, we stand on the brink of a revolution. A revolution against the corporate greed and corruption that has infected the gaming industry for far too long. We must take a stand and demand change. The time has come for us to rise up and say "enough is enough." We cannot continue to let game developers and publishers take advantage of us with overpriced DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes. We must take back our gaming experience and demand that games be created with our enjoyment and satisfaction in mind, not just to make a quick profit. But this revolution is not just about the gaming industry. It's about standing up against the larger systems of oppression and inequality that plague our society. We must fight for a world where everyone has access to quality games, regardless of their financial situation or social status. Together, we can create a new gaming landscape, one where creativity and passion are the driving forces behind game development, not just profits. So let us band together, gamers of all kinds, and demand a better future for our industry and for ourselves. Let us start a revolution that will change the gaming world forever.

eh you unlock the 3 abilities fairly quick but they all have upgrade trees that take like 20+ hours to fully flesh out.

If it was up to me, the vampires would be an elite unit in a swarm of cultists. Give them supernatural ways to avoid being shot or UV rayed to death and a challenging counter offensive. If you still want the fast unit, make thralls which are just expendable cannon fodder for the players power fantasy. At least they seemed to make the characters interesting, which seems to be a bane of modern game design.

The 30 seconds of Unreal Tournament at the end of the video had more heart, soul, and energy to it than the entire 20-something minutes of Redfall gameplay that came before. It reminds me of how, whenever I try to play Cyberpunk, I just wish I was playing Deus Ex instead.

I have this theory as of a few years ago now, that AAA developers are purposely releasing shitty games because they know that there is a huge HUGE community of youtubers who will put out video after video about the same game and all its problems (you don't do this but a lot of people do it with games like CoD), and their millions of viewers will no doubt push record sales. I find it hard to believe that we've been hearing about record breaking release numbers the past few years when the games are obviously getting worse and worse.

I can't be the only one who thinks the abilities from Redfall is almost the same as Apex Legend's abilities. Dev's translocator - Loba's bracelet. Both teleporters arch when aiming. Layla's lift - Horizon's lift. Both lifts go straight up. Bloodhound's raven tracking - Jacob's raven tracking. Both show the location of the enemies through walls or objects. They even play the same way
