DROD (Deadly Rooms of Death)

It was a shareware game that came out in the 90s that's half puzzle/half dungeon crawler where you are Beethro Budkin, Exterminator for Hire, and King Dungan has hired you to clean out the dungeon of roaches and other things so that the prisoners can have a proper torture. Since the shareware days of yore, DROD has gone free after being purchased by Caravel games. You can play the original game for free and updated to add new graphics, music and checkpoints while the series has continued on in the shadows. It might be on Steam these days and I highly recommend it if you want a sort of chess dungeon crawler type game.

Because it’s melee based, you can just stab. That’s it, one attack. It’s just laziness from the developer. If you make a game that usually you have guns, replace them but make zero effort to make the new weapons fun, that’s laziness!

Your argument is “it’s farcry”. That’s a poor reason to make half a game. Lots of mechanics can be added/removed. Farcry had super mutants, farcry 2 had malaria. They don’t feature in the new games so it shows mechanics and interaction can change.

Having some kind of dynamic interaction with the combat could have made it more engaging. The lack of story is one thing, but muted, half finished gameplay is a miserable thing to interact with. Some people have a huge tolerance for blandness though.

It’s a lazy reskin of the fourth game. Considering Ubisoft just keep remaking 3 in various forms, it’s lazy. They’re lazy.

I liked 6 more than 5, but I liked 4 out of all the games in the series so far.

FC5 had an absolutely lousy ending. It was so bad I immediately went and got New Dawn in an attempt to wash out the aftertaste of FC5 ending from my mouth. And New Dawn wasn't any better. Slightly, but not much.

FC6 is just generic, without anything groundbreaking or any sharp corners, and with some fun activities like fishing and hunting, and visually pleasing tropical paradise to run around in. Esposito was criminally misused though, the ending was still kinda crap (though nowhere near as bad as FC5) and the writing was trash as usual, an average 9-year-old with a box of crayons could have done better.

Between FC5 and FC6, I would go for FC6. But in the entire series, I would have stopped at FC4 and pretended the rest just never happened.

I need a scale of how every franchise is rated, because you have kind of a point but like - most every Zelda game is still good and releases polished.

There’s so many franchises you can’t say that for… but maybe they’ve ruined their reps by now.

Reply to comment by ZamoriXIII in More game remakes! by ZamoriXIII

First Gen exists if you own a Switch. I think its called Lets Go Pikachu and Lets Go Eevee. I remember everything from the dark cave, to Saffron City rocket base, the elite four, and Mewtwo. Unfortunately misses the Safari Zone and the gambling den. Original SMB is remade in one of the Mario Makers I think.
