@Zepthire One again, not sure why you are being negged as it seemed pretty much anyone who commented on that reveal had exactly the same impressions. Unless they are having a hissy fit about you being of the personal opinion that it looks good and that's not allowed. |
| I love all the other games (Well, maybe not Gat) but I'm more than happy to try a a down to earth reboot. They really were sending mixed message with that Gamescom thing though. Number one response seems to be (from me included) "What is this shit!?! She's playing the boss? You can't make your own character??" |
|
@th3orist While I absolutely agree with you (and was really pissed off when I realised this after buying FH4 Ultimate or whatever it was called! ) I do think it still feels great to drive in these games. I just wish it would remember which position you finished and your lap times so you could try to improve. I think it's utterly bizzare that a racing this huge doesn't do these basic things. It should at least have a difficulty mode that doesn't shower you with rewards for people who want to play that way. It still confuses me that more people aren't bothered by the 'participation trophy' nature of these games. It can only tell you how great you are doing so many times before it grates on you. |
| I wasn't expecting this so it's a nice surprise. I like Odyssey a hell of a lot more than Valhalla. |
|
@grassyknoll Nobody said anything about prove, they said explain or "hey, why do you like it because I want to know that I'm missing?" |
|
@ActionFlash I've not played Hades yet (not a Roguelike fan) but you could argue it has Greek mythology in common as well. I'd agree it certainly doesn't look that similar. |
| Not really a surpise, considering. I thought the initial trailer looked really, really interesting but I think the other more informative stuff we got later didn't really sound that great. |
|
@Boooo_urns I think it's probably more due to the fact that the base game is out on basically everything already. Of course, that's also a good reason to release ES6 to that massive existing audience but they do seem to think it's better have it as an exclusive. Personally I think Starfield is enough of a draw. |
| Sounds a bit Earthsea |
| Good stuff |
|
@Jonamok This is why the downvote button is such a load of nonsene. The vast majority of the people that use it don't have a coherent opinion. |
| Honestly, I've got a kajillion games to catch up on so I can't say I'm especially fussed. |
|
@higganos As far as I'm concerned Gamepass was worth it for Flight Sim alone this month so, yeah, free! |
|
@crazyhorse174 Well, I thought it went without saying "disappointing if I end up agreeing with the review" Apparently this is a massively unreasonable point of view judging from the reactionary negs... |
|
@filippoganna It's an exclusive, that's why. People get absurdly protective of exclusives. |
| Well I suppose the nice thing is I can try it. Disappointing, though. |
| VERY excited to try this! |
|
@Agarwel_Idiriz Yeah, I'd agree. I love the idea of making your own character in that world but there really is bugger to do if you don't want to play with others. Still, I suppose it is called GTA Online not GTA Unsociable. |
|
Great article! I really related to Squall and his desire to get the hell away from everyone but I'd die of embarrassment if someone dragged me onto the dance floor ; I'd rather jump over the balcony! |
| Deathloop is one of the games where I really enjoy the trailers and the style of it all but have absolutely zero interest in actually playing. |
| I'm in no rush |
| Interacting with NCPs? Is this when you need to park your horse? |
|
@Cloysterpete I think they mean mixed because because the EG review was bizarrely not that negative. |
|
@Regdum I suppose it depends on if you felt the same way as Joel. I didn't go out of my way to kill anyone in that section but they sure as hell weren't going to stop me. I didn't for a second think he was doing the wrong thing and I still don't think that now. If there is anything I detest with a passion in narrative heavy games it's when the game in question doesn't give the player a choice about doing something and then repeatedly says "Hey, don't you feel really bad for doing that thing you just didn't have a choice about doing?" I've not felt the urge to play TLOUS 2 (I felt a sequel was unnecessary) but I have enjoyed watching other people analyse the game and one thing that jumps out at me is that the Fireflies you go up against at the end of the first game seem to bear little resemblance to the ones you see in the second game. I'm not sure retconning them into competent and sympathetic characters after the fact is entirely fair... |
| I've got to say, I don't need a very annoying game-mechanic to motivate me to explore or experiment. |
|
@TheCostOfLies Yeah, I can't fathom how this game can get ever vaguely good reviews if that video is accurate and I can't see how it isn't considering he demonstrates the issues. There's a reason I tend to distrust mainstream reviews these days... |
|
@xXlive4eatingXx Well, to be fair, I played NMS for months after launch anyway so I wasn't massively disapointed in that case:) |
|
@35antonio One again, not defending CDPR just commenting on the intensity of the reaction. At no point did I imply they hadn't done anything wrong. |
|
@the_ewan I'm not disputing that I'm just commenting on the intensity of the reaction. It was possibly even worse with No Man's Sky, though I'm not sure I can see CDPR pulling the same kind of reversal Hello Games did. |
| This is one of those situations where, if I didn't go on the internet, I'd have played this on the PS5 and thought it was cool open world Deux Ex type thing that was released too early and that would be that. It definitely needs to be fixed but I'm always surprised at the amount of hate this is attracting. Seems the worst thing you can do to gamers is get them excited about something and not deliver. |
|
@PrincessEntrapta Based on Spiderman and R&C I really can't see what we are losing by using that performance RT mode; Both those games look great in that mode. On FF7 remake I tried the 4K 30 FPS and really couldn't see what I was gaining by losing those 30 extra FPS. Options is definitely the way to go, though. |
|
@Scimarad Wow, I'm really getting negged for that? Are steady framerates contraversial or something or are people really that pathetic? |
| It always seems to be the way. Does Microsoft insist on the higher resolution or something because it would seem more sensible to match the PS5 and have the more stable framerate. It's not like you can really tell most of the time anyway and I suspect the vast majority of players don't have VRR. |
| Yes, but when do you build the big robot dinosaurs? |
|
@Tantarion The best thing you can do with this is completely ignore the word 'remake' and you'll be much happier. I loved it but, with the exception of too much Sephiroth and all the Advent Children shit at the end, I find the idea of this being an alternative branch much more interesting than just trying to capture the magic of the original. |
| Do you remember those wonderful days before JRPGs had voice acting? Bliss:) |
| Dammit, for a second there I thought Platinum were doing a Babylon 5 gamne:) |
| It's definitely growing on me. |
| It's still got the weird 'kind-mcu-kinda-not' thing. Why they didn't just pick one or the other I don't know. |
| Well that looked intriguing. |
| It's "I can't believe it's not Suikoden" |
| lol, more not move. Sarcasm ruined! |
| Bringing games to move people by excluding some people... |
| Is this going to be a new game or just another bug hunt? |
| Now I'm trying to mash Alien and Skyrim together in my mind and utterly failing. |
| I like the Nostromo/Prometheus vibe I'm getting off that ship |
|
@user41873 That is absolutely true. I really liked Odyssey but I didn't like Valhalla. I hated FC5 with a passion but I'm really enjoying New Dawn. That said, their conference yesterday was the most dull, boring and...well...Ubisoft conference I've ever seen. |
