Generation Zero review - an atmospheric, but rather empty, open world

Coughthulu

2 years ago

Played this with a friend for about 3 hours last night. If you go in with an open mind that this is an exploration game with a lot of mysteries to uncover (via mostly log entries), with tactical battles that you have to approach with some strategy, it's actually pretty good.

Luckily, we've been cooping for years and have a good idea of coordinating attacks, and this most definitely made a difference. Doing this solo, or with a pack of randoms, is not going to go well. But this is most definitely a tactical game, and if you go in as such, there's some wonderful emergent gameplay going on.

I think this is going to be one of those games that most pass by, but will click and become a hit with a those that can play regularly and really get into it. I certainly can't wait to have another go tonight.

Be warned though, there are currently some bugs, and a particularly nerve wracking moment came from the game declaring my friend's save game was corrupt after it crashed and he restarted. Thankfully, it managed to rebuild it.

Could it be that someone at XBL let a server certificate expire?

* Console starts up, tries to authenticate with XBL, server returns expired certificate, Xbox refuses to go any further.
* Disable networking, console starts up, no network connection, continues merrily with stored credentials. Reconnect networking, Xbox attempts to communicate again, expired certificate, halts.

I think I like Below the most when I'm not actually playing it

Coughthulu

3 years ago

@MrTomFTW You've stated exactly the same reasons I've not gone back to it. I ended up managing to progress to a point where there weren't any convenient shortcuts, it took a good amount of time to get back to my previous corpse in a very enemy heavy area, and I kept on dying. Given I'm a massive fan of the Souls games, initially it wasn't an issue, but it seemed there was no leeway, and the lack of a decent shortcut, along with hitting crash issues a fair few times, saw me drop it temporarily for Ashen.

Except I've not gone back, and Ashen, though a pretty shameless ripoff of the Souls series, has all the things I'd hoped Below would, and I've ended up sticking with it.

A shame, really, as it looked like Below was going to scratch all the itches. :-(

Growing up with and growing out of The Sims

Coughthulu

@GelatinousDude Fair enough, but I meant that Vic's piece was just as good as anything Cara or Ellie would have written, regardless of writing style.

There's a reason Gibson was an 'EG fanboy darling', when you compare her writing to some of the other articles that have been written in EG, mainly by men (and I'd actually put her and Christian Donlan together as being the finest two writers EG have ever had, in their consistent ability to provoke emotion from their readers). She brought levity and punchy humour to topics/reviews that could have otherwise been dry and frankly drab reading.

Additionally, reading other Cara articles, for example on Rock Paper Shotgun, might show that she doesn't just stick to a certain style, either.

Unfortunately, this is now an aside from what I actually meant to do, which was to pay Vic a compliment that she obviously has a talent comparable to the other two, as a fantastic writer in a mostly male dominated arena. We need more of this.

I have been tempted by this, even though the price point seems off, because my friends have dived into it and have told me it's actually very enjoyable.

What puts me off is that I didn't buy the original Legendary edition of Destiny, so I didn't get the DLC 'for free', and after being told what rip-offs they were, I decided not to get them.

So, the most insidious thing that's making me recoil in terror is that I'd have to buy both TDB and HOW to play this. I can't think of any other game I've ever played where you have to own all the previous DLC to play other DLC (I could well be wrong, is there any in another game?). And that seems a bit worrying to me, where does it stop? Are we going to see more DLC where you have to also own TTK to play it (and therefore everything previously).

I think that's what puts me off the most. You're essentially having to buy a 'season pass' without it being explicitly stated, just to buy DLC you might want.

I think this kind of model is worrying, and it sets yet another dangerous precedent for the industry.

We need to talk about emulation

Coughthulu

6 years ago

"I've spoken with former Spectrum developers - many of whom are still working in games today - who said they refused permission because they felt they were being emotionally blackmailed into giving their games away. It's a classic Catch 22 - the Vega needed games in order to have any purpose, but those games were apparently not valuable enough to actually spend money on. Thankfully Retro Computers has since seen sense, and will now apparently offer some form of royalty payment to developers when the Vega is released commercially."
Can we have some sort of clarity on this paragraph please? How many of these developers, irrespective of whether they are in the industry still or not, were work-for-hire to write a game that was then owned by a publisher that is now defunct?

If everyone you spoke to is self-published, then great. If not, why should developers who have no legal right to royalties from the originally published games get any now?

Should those of us who worked on the now-dead operating systems that powered these games expect royalties for their emulation (and in fact, not just emulation, if the HW is that being emulated) as well?

Furthermore:


Again, compare it to film. There, the cinema release is just the start of a film's commercial life. After that it can be sold on DVD or Blu-ray, it can be packaged for TV and sold to the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime. It can licensed for Pay Per View in hotels and sold to airlines to show in-flight. It has what smartly dressed business people call a "long tail", making money for years to come and helping to fund more movies.

There's really nothing like that for games, apart from budget re-releases or special editions, which is why we have such an imbalanced industry.
There are a myriad of reasons why you simply cannot compare classical media to games, including the sheer volume of output of the games industry and the range of budgets and workforce required to work on them.

For an excellent monologue on this, I'd direct anyone to TotalBiscuit's YouTube page:

The God who Peter Molyneux forgot

Coughthulu

7 years ago

An absolutely fantastic article Wes; I think the last year has proven you're actually now one of, if not the best, investigative journalists in gaming.

Forget the promises Molyneux makes to millions of gamers whenever he opens his mouth. To make a promise personally to someone, to invite them to participate, to get huge amounts of PR out of them by having them interviewed as the winner and that they will be 'God of Gods' in his next game and then to completely and utterly ignore them... I think this is the reason nobody should ever purchase anything he or his studios develops ever again.

His glory-days are over, he's turned out to be a fantasist of the highest calibre, someone who probably now believes his own hype so much he doesn't actually see that the reality is a string of broken promises and failed games.

Godus is the final nail in the coffin. I really can't see how he's going to be able to convince anyone to either fund or buy his next broken promise.

As for Bryan, it seems he's come out of it with a philosophical attitude. I have no doubt he'll go very far on his own.

What they did was, most probably:

* Cause a loss of revenue for PSN/XBL and the network and server carriers they use (as a knock on effect for QoS issues).

* Cause massive amounts of stress, which really can cause physical harm, to all concerned.

And given that the first guy was arrested primarily for Paypal fraud last year, I'm guessing they actually have stolen; probably large amounts of cash.

Is there any chance of getting clarification from 343 as to exactly what the T&C for this ('log online activity with Xbox Live') means? It's been intepreted in several different ways already on different threads on different sites, including the official 343 site, which has done nothing to clarify this; some people saying 'Yes, it's anything, including campaign' and others saying 'No, only if you've got into an MP match'.

I gave up trying MP after several sessions of sitting there for ages not seeing any other players, so have only played the campaign. Does this mean I'm not elligible? As I have onlocked achievements and played campaign sessions, I assume I've 'logged online activity with XBL'.

It'd actually be nice to have a clear statement saying 'anyone who's played either MP or Campaign'.

We've reached out to Sony to gain clarification on whether this was intentional and how it feels about this potential blunder ranging from "no big whoop" to "fire whoever whipped this up." We'll update should we hear back.
Seriously? The guy hired to do the 'night shift' so EG ensures that updates occur 24 hours a day, has the audacity to actually suggest to Sony that someone who put a lot more work into a promotion than the journalist did into his story (did you actually check the font had been released into the public domain?) has the temerity to suggest to Sony they may wish to fire someone because of this?

The same guy whose approach to grammar is, at best, scattershot and at worse just exceedingly poor? The same guy whose articles actually lower the gravitas of those words written by every other contributer to EG?

The same guy who, it surprises me frequently, doesn't actually insist to the editorship his articles are published in Comic Sans (that's also a font, just in case you didn't know)?

I assume we won't be reading many more articles from you, Jeffrey, once the Daily Mail or the Sun offer you that coveted Lead Games Reporter slot you are so obviously going for in the tabloids.

Why we need more developers like Zoe Quinn

Coughthulu

7 years ago

I've probably come in a bit too late here for any of the EG staff to read this, but never mind.

I really couldn't give two hoots about the gender of any developer, though it's extremely hard not to refute that females in the gaming industry suffer hugely compared to their male counterparts. Small changes are occuring, and hopefully it will become a thing of the past rapidly. Some of the comments in this thread are absolutely awful. Some of them are well reasoned.

That said...

I've seen, at a very personal level, what depression does both to the individual *and* their families. It's hard for everyone involved.

So. I have two points to make. Arguable, the second point is far more vital than the first, as gaming is subjective and someone making a game about something doesn't neccesarily want it to be realistic.

Point 1:
Attempting to understand the deep roots of depression or what it's like to have it by playing Depression Quest is like playing the first couple of Call of Duties to understand the socio-political reasoning behind the second World War. And that's fine if it's not the developers goal; why the hell not?


Here's what I believe is a more important point.

Point 2:
There's been a lot of murmerings recently about games journalists and their associations to developers who get write-ups. We've seen this everywhere, including here, Kotaku, 1-Up....

Over a year ago, Tom wrote an article declaring that EG were, in the future, going to explicitly state when a company had paid expenses to fly/accomodate/etc. EG when a preview or a review was being made, due to circumstances that had recently occurred. This immediately removes any ambiguity from an article that is viewed by the readership, and I don't think I've seen any negative comments since then on previews or the like. It was both a bold and brilliant move.

Now, I don't know what Dan's relationship to Zoe Quinn is, I doubt in fact they know each other personally in any way, and I'm not picking on this article, it's just that the article has made me think.

Is there not an argument to declare, in the same way that a declaration is made when a company pays expenses for a journalist, to announce if a journalist publishing an article has any ties at all to the developer that they're devoting a article to? It would immediately clear up any ambiguity and essentially stop debacles like those we've seen recently in their tracks.

In the case of this particular developer, it's actually quite relevant. There's a lot of 'he said/she said' flying round the net, and to be perfectly honest you should not, and in fact cannot, make judgements around people you don't know, regardless of any information. Can't do it. We'll probably never know what the story is, but the fact is it SHOULDN'T be about the developers. It should be about the games.

A lot of sites seem to have lost focus on that...

Not to mention that if this is required for SP too, you're still only playing for as long as those servers are up...

Simon's review is almost like a gameplay equivalent of one of Rich Leadbetter's breakdowns. He's telling us what's in the game and not much more. I've re-read the review and apart from a single line that states a 'sense of accomplishment', there doesn't appear to be any actual 'I liked/disliked the ' or similar. It *almost* reads just like a long description you'd find on a shop site.

I think it's a case of giving them the free reign to decide what to do with themselves at the end. Robert's done all he can to break them out of future events, and Booker eventually gets to decide how to continue.

Then again, Levine's always been very good at creating stories that leave a massive amount of ambiguity; it's why I love the 'Shock series.

Spoilered, just in case anyone else is reading this who hasn't finished.

All subjective again, of course, but I'd taken it that Robert Lutece becomes disenchanted with the whole affair. Almost all of the Lutece journals are Rosalinds, where it's obvious she has no qualms about anything happening in Columbia, and is just in it for the science funding.

As these are two different realities, Columbia happens in Rosalind's, where she's happy to power the place, and pull Robert through to help her. Robert comes from Booker's reality where he isn't 'born again', and just like Booker has a more refined moral compass. There's quite a few mini-references to this. Every time the pair show up to ask Booker to make a choice, Robert's usually the one saying 'See, I told you'. Which points to the two realities being diametrically opposed in moral values.

He decides they need to stop Columbia from ever happening, talks Rosalind into going along with it (you note how they're constantly arguing and at the start she 'never wanted to go through with this thought experiment'). It's his way of absolving his sins, and the only way to do that is to stop Booker from ever becoming Comstock. Rescue Elizabeth, learn the truth, get erased from reality.

I'd really taken the end more as the absolution of the Lutece's than Booker, to be honest. Without them, none of it would have happened.

Completely respect what you're saying, but I think the real point here is the defence of something non-player related, whether it's moving or not. It's a type of mission that has to be executed by the developers well to stop the descent into madness of the player. Again, I've not played it, so I have to defer to your experience in playing through that mission!

I didn't comment to defend the review by any means, certainly writing one from the position of fury is probably not a great thing to do, stepping back and allowing a bit of mulling time may have been required in this case. I agree entirely with you on that.
