@Ainu20 this is how I felt too.

I played the demo and was left confused. The combat was good but it never felt like it gelled with me. I’m so tempted to try the full game after this review. I was expecting it to get a 6/10 to be honest.
Can someone tell me how the countering works and is it satisfying? Can countering be done on all enemies?

@mariomaster96 amen. The vast majority of games have terrible dialogue, unfortunately.

Great to see more dead boring games garner excitement from a public who’ll buy literally anything at this point..

Highly debatable. I thought this game was dull as dishwater, the dialogue was atrocious, the story was a boring re-hash and the core gameplay was EXACTLY the same as the previous game.
Cringeworthy

What the point when they only release a handful of titles from old consoles and skip the ones anyone actually want to play?
There’s less than 10 PS1 game available in my country.

For some reason whenever I saw these games on the PSN Store I assumed they were shovelware.
I’m pleasantly surprised!

Go Capcom Go Capcom Go!!!
Easily one of the top 3 developers around. They are so consistent.

The only thing worse that GTA is rip offs of GTA.
Yet they sell millions. No accounting for taste. Probably the same people who buy COD and FIFA every year

Another reason to support quality AAA games instead of showing off your entitlement by saying stuff like “I’ll wait til it’s in the bargain bin”

At this point in the generation I’m quite frankly sick of major AAA titles releasing on old hardware.
It means we get watered down games for the current gen consoles. Maybe a bit of fancy lighting or a smoother frame rate at most.
This practice only happened for about 6 months in the transition between PS3 and PS4.
It just comes across as greedy and consumer unfriendly.

Forgive me if I’m being ignorant here, but how does a totally blind person play a game like Mortal Kombat?
It’s great that there is an accessibility option for hearing fatalities but you’ve gotta win a match and perform the fatality first!

I would have loved to see some single player action here. I’m a huge horror fan but not a huge multiplayer fan. Oh well..

Walking simulator games can be really good. Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch are two I would give 9/10 to. This one looks very dull.

I don’t get why every likes Spiderman so much. That type of button mash combat just reminds of Assassins Creed (yick) and there is almost no variety in locations. Building after generic building.
Alan Wake 2 however looks extremely good. It looks like they are ramping up the horror and that’s a very good thing.

@Powerplay94 wow that’s peak cringe. Journalists are ridiculous and embarrassing a great deal of the time..

@KaijuKaiser Anyone who thought there was any correlation between Souls/Elden Success and a completely different and niche genre, is an absolute moron.

I gotta say, the price of this collection is absurd and vaguely insulting. It’s $20 less than a brand new AAA title.

Making games is very cut throat. I think many gamers don’t seem to understand this. It’s also very expensive to make games. I think it’s important to support the developers who make the games you love, by buying those games at full price. I support Capcom and FROMSOFT this way, and I’m certainly not rich - I save.
It’s cringeworthy and entitled to refuse to buy anything until it’s in the bargain bin or heavily discounted.
This sort of behaviour literally creates a climate where there are less AAA games. It’s working against your own interests.

I think a ghost monkey will improve almost anything 😛

I always thought mech games were a very niche thing. I’m surprised this is such a big budget game.

@Totheteeth I mentioned AC too

@Smiffy01 Don’t worry - If you don’t like Souls style games you can always play some basic slop like Assassins Creed or COD.

This game looks extremely impressive

@Sil_Am Cool story. Talking about Elden Ring has nothing to do with the article.

@GamingFan4Lyf It’s a throwaway headline which no one with any common sense would interpret as
“Sound fx R only FOR da PS5z”.
You’re creating a ridiculous issue from nothing. 🙄🤦‍♀️

@Shinnok789 This is a PlayStation site. They literally omit mentioning the other platforms in all articles they write. Have you not noticed this yet? Are you new here?
Does it make a difference to anything? Nope.

You’re being neurotic and cringe.

The sound effect thing was the only real thing bothering me aside from SoulsLikes not having a great track record. But I’m hopeful. Certainly looks great.

I don’t understand why the absolutely garbage combat and character movement in all Rockstar games gets a a constant pass from everyone.
GTA5 controls like a ps2 game ffs.

@tameshiyaku could not agree more.

@Netret0120 it’s pathetic. Like, have some self respect people…

The trick is to not support this lazy and cynical garbage. But noooooo a whole bunch of lemmings will lap it up and legitimise this.

@PlayStationGamer3919 Not everything needs online multiplayer.

@zimbogamer people who think like that are babies.

“Procedurally Generated” - I’m definitely one of those people who are turned off by these words.
But I love FROMSOFT style games, pity there’s only like 1 or 2 that are actually good.

Not playable?!?!? What the heck? That’s absurd. I’ve always admired Capcom for not having predatory pricing for DLC or loot boxes.
The Resident Evil games are almost completely devoid of this chicanery.
Disappointing, Capcom.

@GKT The internet just amplifies it and legitimises things that probably shouldn’t be.

What a massive douche.

That is adorable!

@StrawberryTurtle They both make movies I’m not interested in watching. Really populist comedy action movies. Not trying to sound pretentious but those movies are not for me I find them dull. I think they are both good at a very narrow range of acting at best. I don’t have an opinion on who is the better actor.

@StrawberryTurtle Cena and Johnson pretty much play the same character based on their natural charisma.

I noticed the original Twisted Metal game is available on the PS Store. That’s all well and good but the sequel was far better in my opinion. Played that at many a sleepover as a young teen.
I still have nightmares about my friend destroying me with the guy whose body was attached to two giant wheels!

Uses they/them pronouns not her/she.

Anyone who genuinely has an issue with the sound needs some perspective on life.

Team Ninja knocked it out the park with Nioh 2 DLC, I’m glad they are continuing the trend.
Wu-Long is not as deep as Nioh 2 and the community pretty much agree on this. But it is a very solid game and the emphasis on parrying is extremely fun. I will be supporting all paid DLC that comes out and have been consistently playing it since release. Team Ninja are worth supporting. They don’t always get it 100% right but they treat their customers well and provide excellent DLC with no predatory loot boxes or micro transactions.

People complain about scalpers but then buy stuff from them when they can’t get it through normal channels. Seriously, make a stand by voting with your wallet. It make be annoying but it’s the only way to affect change.

After hearing all the praise The Witcher got, I gave it a try. Didn’t gel with me at all. Combat is super important in action RPGs and I felt like it was very ‘floaty’ and imprecise.
These days I feel like developers like FromSoftware and Team Ninja have implemented combat in such a way that everything seems really crap.

Fighting game character leaks are so stupid. They just end up revealing all the available characters, there is no surprise..

I’d pick this up day one, over the beige garbage that is the latest Assassins Creed or Spider-Man.
Gamers are so basic.
