What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality

Oh my GAWD 7/10 is NOT mid. I just ranted on another comment about this. 7/10 is a GREAT score. Everyone: please make 5/10 your mid-game point I am so tired of this aaaaaaa

TrafficReliesOnThemHahaha that’s totally fair. I’m just peeved that people don’t rate games as a 5/5 = okay game rating. When I see a 7/10 as mediocre, I get a solid flare up of my autism

Sounds like the Onslaught mode of UT2004 and 3, though more strategic, especially with the classes
It definitely had a lot in common with Onslaught mode. There was some overlap with the types of vehicles, too.

I was going to say outer worlds as well (outer WILDS is a fantastic game IMO) the game was entirely competent, just unimpressive in every way. Except Pavarti, she is a precocious sugar dumpling and must be protected at all costs.

"That chick is cute. I bet her romance is adorable!"
"She's aromantic and asexual, you can't romance her."
"I bet her quest line is fun"
"Nope. It's a really boring fetch quest where you set her up on a date with some bland woman old enough to be her mother. She is also very obviously sexually and romantically attracted to this woman."
"...huh."
I love Parvati but Drinking Sapphire Wine is a terrible quest.

Probably everytbing put out by Nintendo in a long time. Yes, even that one. That one, too.

Outer Wilds is absolutely superb if/when you get it try to get the DLC too its a good value. Steam summer sale coming up soon if you’re in the states
Loll, people will never stop getting these confused

Anything from Ubisoft
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Was gonna say it. This perfectly describes the last few Assassins Creed titles. Not bad enough to put them away, but also not good enough to leave any kind of lasting impact.

Excuse you, but Breath of the Wild was amazing.

Starfield. It's the definition of a "mixed" rating on Steam. It's not bad, but it's not good either. You play it for an hour and your reward is that an hour has passed.
-
Any assassin's creed from the last 10 years, probs gonna get hate for that but they are just so average to me.
I got the viking one for free. Didn't make it much farther than the initial area, which is hours long.
I'd say they are worse than mediocre.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I thought The Outer Worlds was violently mediocre, and yeah, its really long uninteresting fetch quest, but:
-
Parvati says she's not interested in physical affection, but I don't recall her ever saying she was aromantic. The closest thing I remember is that she feels like she's better at dealing with machines than people, which definitely doesn't mean the same thing.
-
I also don't recall her ever saying anything sexual about Junlei?
-
how old does this woman look to you that you think she could have a 28 year old daughter?

Yeah, Assassins Creed was cool at first but they just bled that shit to death with too many releases. It’s hard to keep things fresh when you put out like 10 sequels.

I had to stop when the villians were monologuing right in the middle of a fight scene, in the most cliched way possible. And this was after some mid gameplay, with a clearly telegraphed rugpull plot point that seemed like it was going to be the centerpiece of the whole story.
I think I know what fight you’re talking about, and I understand why some persons would back out of the game at that point.
In general, if one finishes the first playthrough, they’ll get the first ending. This left me with questions so I played it again, and this time you get the game from Android 9S’ perspective. Each playthrough is shorter, and the goal is to get endings A, B, and C. Which makes for a remarkable, unforgettable game. Definitely have to get through the cliches and some of the common JRPG tropes, but the whole experience greatly outweighed those problems such that I could look past them.

Breath of the Wild was basically a Ubisoft game with a Zelda coat of paint.

From the 360 Era — Too Human
The control scheme is bizarre at first (right stick is melee) but it works once you're used to it. It's Sci-Fi Norse mythology, I recall it having a pretty solid art style. I picked it up used from either Blockbuster or EB because I wanted to see just how bad it was, ended up enjoying it far more than I expected, I'll give it a
"Yeah, it's ok", disc images are readily available if you want to emulate it, can find a physical copy cheap online too if that's your thing.This is the game that ended up taking down its studio (Silicon Knights, they developed Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, they tried to sue Epic, who countersued and won, probably added to my initial interested tbh.

Mechwarrior online.
Free, online "shooter", good community, runs on linux, gameplay is dated and doesnt get tons of dev support anymore but its still how I kill an evening once or twice a week.

It's interesting that Too Human began development as a PSX game, back in the late 90s. Quite a bit of development hell to go through

Generation Zero. Primo aesthetic, sometimes well balanced, good with friends but not so much solo.
Generation Zero was amazing, when it first came out and it was all new. The machines were actually scary to be up against. I remember playing the beta and freaking out that the dogs were following me around when I was in the bunker, how they would track you down. Just always put me on edge, but then you take down a few. Learn the ropes, get better gear. And that anxiety is gone. Its not longer difficult. It got too easy, not scary to be out at night alone.
I will say though that the engine used was fantastic. I have never before, or since, had a game that loads so fast, looks so nice on mid-low level hardware. You hit load game, and you are in the game. It ran fantastic and looked really nice. The concept was amazing and for the most part it did work. Until it didn't. Fun game but nothing outstanding.

Ubisoft wishes they could make a game that good.
