Multiplayer makes more sense for this kind of experience, because multiplayer matches are the kind of short, repetitive gameplay loops that can meet Gameloft’s KPIs without feeling shallow and limited by the monetisation model. Digisexual for Hatsune Miku □□ February 16, 2019 People think I don’t like shooters because I’m bad at them, but nah, I hold my own. As we know, Gameloft isn’t a fan of hurting its profitability, so the “story” missions are a joke that are over in the blink of an eye.Īlso, to digress for a moment, there’s a character called “Miku” that doesn’t have long green twintails. As the original release of Blackout on mobile was as a free-to-play game, Gameloft would have hurt its profitability to give too much gameplay to players before whisking them back to the main menu and encouraging them to spend money. There’s a single player “story” mode, but it’s utter, incomprehensible, insultingly generic nonsense, and is broken down into missions that are over in what feels like seconds. Modern Combat is that philosophy towards the military shooter genre, driven by the likes of Call of Duty or Battlefield… a genre that I have issues at the best of times, let alone adding “hollow pastiche” to the list of criticisms.īlackout’s main focus is in the multiplayer. It also focuses purely on aesthetics, aiming to get the games looking as close to the ones they plagiarised – sorry, were inspired by – while never bothering to hire creative writers or level designers to repeat what it was about those original games that was actually worth meriting.Īs a result, Gameloft games are always technically competent, but hollow, shallow, and meaningless. The company takes popular ideas that other developers and publishers have pioneered, cribs them wholesale, and then dumps them for free (or close to free, but of course always with exploitative microtransactions) on mobile devices. Gameloft represents a lot of things that I find genuinely offensive about big business game development.
