7.75 for me. Fun as hell. But the online PVP element and being ambushed is frustrating as hell and takes away from it a bit. Definitely having a good time though.
I remember I had a coworker whom the rest of us would urge to get MySpace. One day she came in and said, “I decided to go with Facebook instead…” We laughed and said who the hell uses Facebook. This had to be like 6 months to 1 year into Facebook’s existence.
So far it’s been fun. Not really my type of game but my son really wants to play it with me so I’m with him. It’s like Helldivers 2 with a bit less of assclench.
@hisownsidekick love it! My fondest gaming memory with my bro was waking up in the wee hours of the morning (4 AM) so we can play our season of Tecmo Super Bowl. We’d always simulate the games when our teams (his Bills vs. my 49ers) to play because we knew how we’d be against each other. But we’d always have to play the Super Bowl.
I plan on picking it up. Just started God Breakers with my son and we’re having a blast. Wanna play more games with him before he likely ships off to the Marines.
@IntrepidWombat you’re right. Digital preorders are nonsense. Unless they give some incentive for doing so, there’s no reason to do it. Well, maybe one reason. You might have the funds now, but won’t have the funds upon release. Although, I’d that’s your money situation you probably shouldn’t be using it on video games.
This AI stuff is solely for the people at the top to be able to pocket more of the company’s income. Like, they wanna lay off the human workers so they don’t have to pay them. Then push out mediocre, AI slop because they know we’ll still buy it. This will kill industries and possibly entire economies.
This gen has so many 3rd person action games that I absolutely love it! I literally (and I mean literally “literally”) scoff when I read comments about how bad this gen is. I’ve discovered so many underrated gems as of late. Echoes of the End, Flintlock, Banishers, etc. Not to mention the known bangers such as WuLong and Wuchang.
Just not my thing. Never understood the hype. And that’s just not me not liking the genre or the series. There are plenty of series I don’t like but I get the appeal. Halo isn’t one of them.
@SeaDaVie that would be awesome! I’ve always disliked how generic my created characters feel in games because of how the world interacts with them. This is a thing tha AI should rectify. Much like the internet as a whole, AI can be wonderful if used properly.
The things I’m seeing from AI are crazy and scary! It’s gonna come to a point at which any video proof of wrongdoing can be blamed on AI. And that’s not to say AI can’t do some good when it comes to video games.
Imagine if AI was able to allow NPCs to address your created character by the name you give them instead of the generic, preprogrammed name? That would be good use of AI. But I don’t want AI replacing the human aspect of the industry. And lord knows if that can ever be possible that these companies would just at rhe chance.
Nintendo’s consoles are direct generational competitors with Sony and Microsoft. I mean, Nintendo releases in off years and don’t really have the same user base.
So many gamers will own a PS/Switch or Xbox/Switch. But there are those few who own all 3. And those who own all 3 often decide which console they wanna play multiplatform games on; PS or Xbox?
Also, Xbox and PlayStation almost collaborate their releases. Releasing within weeks of each other. Nintendo knows that the other 2 aren’t direct competitors. This is why Nintendo doesn’t worry about power and performance the way the others do.
@Marquez for sure. I’d always sworn to never getting into MMOs because I never wanted to ever have to pay a monthly fee to play a game (obviously, this is now how it works), and knew that my personality would cause me to get too imbedded in the world of it if I happened to like it. This is what ESO did to me for a long time.
I’m playing Echoes of the End right now and it’s a 7/10 game (Metacritic says 6.6/10). It’s every challenging due to no animation canceling in combat (a complaining many reviews have) but I’m fine with that. Animation cancel isn’t a real thing a person can do. I understand this is fantasy but still…
Can’t wait to finish Echoes of the End and get to Yōtei. After that, Dragon’s Dogma II. I’m gonna lost in fantasy worlds for at least the next 6 months.
For the first time in almost 10 years, I’m not playing Elder Scrolls Online. Well, this is the first weekend in which I’ve had access to play it and have not.
In fact, after being a day 1 player, I’ve finally decided to leave the game. It kinda sucks. But it’s for the greater good of my gaming life. I’ve skipped so many anticipated releases (Dragon’s Dogma II, Ghost of Tsushima, Black Myth, etc.) due to my ESO obsession. Needless to say, it’s been a weird 5 days not playing.
Anyway, I’m playing Echoes of the End now. Will jump into Ghost of Yōtei after.
That being said. They need to drop support for PS4 soon! I mean, 5 years into PS5 and they’re still supporting the 12-year-old console. Why do they think many are not upgrading? This will hinder adoption rates for the PS6. It’s like they’ve never read the signs that say “Don’t feed the animals”. And no, I’m not calling PS4 players “animals”.

Arc Raiders is good. Haven’t played Yōtei but I suspect it’ll take the gold here.

I have my PS5 hidden mounted behind my TV so it doesn’t matter how it looks. Still, pretty cool to see this.

Nice to see this positive review! Picked up God Breakers and will be getting this one as well.
