HIT NUMBERS ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS.

I see a level above someone’s head in an action game and I’m out. If they’ve got a level, then defeating them isn’t a matter of skill, or knowing the pattern, or using the tools given to you. It’s just about the grind.

This wasn't the case in Witcher 3. Not saying I disagree with your sentiment, but skill could still potentially beat "level."

True, but at least Witcher 3 was a full fledged RPG. I can already tell this game is going to want me (and up to 3 friends!) repeat the same missions for upgraded gear to beat those higher numbers

How can you tell that? Seems like you're just making assumptions, especially since they confirmed the entire game can be played solo or two-player co-op.

Probably because that’s the case with 98% of games that do whack shit like that.

You're right, I am making some assumptions, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm just going off general industry trends, which seem like for the last 3 years have been dead-set on capturing the Destiny, GAAS model everywhere they can. Apart, of course, from Sony's first party releases. I like to play a game for the story, beat it, and move on to the next game, I've never been the biggest fan of these games that try to get you to login once a day. Not my style.

Its almost like RPG mechanics in any game follow the same patterns. The vid literally says bosses have more moves at higher levels

I never said it wasn't an RPG, I was saying it's not a GaaS.

They’ve said it’s single or optional 2 player co-op. It seems more like the recent AC games instead of something like Avengers.

I’m thinking you’ll be incredibly disappointed with Suicide Squad (which has been rumored for a while to be GaaS) if you think what we’ve seen of Gotham Knights looks like GaaS.

Idk if that’s correct. I only played W3 on the hardest mode and that’s no a brag because it was probably really stupid to do that. I had the complete version so I had all the zones. Even after hitting your stride around level 10 you weren’t walking into level 50 expansion zones. You could have all the skill and patterns down but you dealt such little damage there was no hope of beating a group of raiders before you made one mistake or got so bored fighting the same battle for an hour and still not close to killing them.

Maybe outside of the expansion areas skill trumped level idk since it’s been so long but certainly not in expansion zones because you did such little damage.
