Because they keep hiring writers who have nothing to do with Blade.
The only person who's written a good, modern Blade story—Marc Guggenheim—has had nothing to do with this project so far. IDK if he's "too in" with DC to be a viable option, but it's odd he has not been involved it when he's the only obvious option… it's not like modern Blade has a ton of great comic book arcs.
I love the cast collectively and individually, the movie is meh though. Absolutely the writers' fault.
It's hilarious though 😂 I imagine the guy who said it was trying so hard not to break.
I've never had fun playing any Ubisoft game 🤣
Stick of Truth was fun, but they just published that—Obsidian developed it with Matt and Trey.
Hmm… I suppose I can just put this down to my disagreeing with the article's headline: I say a lot of movies and novels don't offer enough closure and are bad examples to follow—games can and should do better, IMO.
I'd rather get Project G.G. or Scalebound than the 15th Assassin's Creed game in as many years or even Bayonetta 3, TBH.
Hmm… but isn't it an "ongoing series"? Like, you can have short or long arcs, but if the continuity is the same, the story technically hasn't ended.
I agree gaming takes it a step further, but this is like comparing a worse example to a bad one… yeah, one is worse, but they both suck at the end of the day.
I'm glad you like Fast and Furious, but it's only one example of many. It's not the only movie franchise being milked to death, and won't be the last.
Yes, but it's also devoid of creativity and takes up space that could be occupied by more creative endeavors, so it's a similar path at the end of the day.
My point is pointing a finger at Fortnite and Epic Games is fair, but same finger should also be pointed at Universal, Disney, NBC… etc.
And the biggest finger should be pointed at capitalism itself.
And time machine leads to multiverse, and multiverse leads to reboot. Never mind the spinoff potential…
Hmm… title is a little bit clickbaity—author seems to be mainly going after live service games, not necessarily every video game.
Also, novels and movies don't always end 😂 Not sure why they threw that into the title. Freaking Fast and Furious will surely outlast planet Earth at this point 😂 What about Star Wars? It'll never end.
I agree with the general sentiment though: I think players are flexible and will be inclined to give your new IP a shot, but capitalism is risk averse, and will obviously disagree.
I upvoted for the Jon Benjamin mention. Jon Benjamin Has a Van is so fucking funny.
And I love Bob's Burgers, but Home Movies was magic and I consider it his peak VA work.
Yes. You probably will miss out on branching paths if any exist, but you will miss out on those in a regular playthrough anyway.
You also probably should've asked this question instead of the one in the title of the thread—they're two fundamentally different questions.
I know narrative-driven games are dominant nowadays, but not every game is narrative-driven.
This man is a certified nutjob 😂 I love how he's still carrying the Odd Future energy… and was that a green screen, silent Clipse cameo? 😂 Insanity…
