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.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 40 points 11 months ago

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

[–] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the last time was FO4

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

FO76 is calling...

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT FO76.

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] PanPuszek@reddthat.com 29 points 11 months ago

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

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 points 11 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.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 5 points 11 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

[–] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] wccrawford@lemmy.world 4 points 11 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.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

True that idea was definitely cool
