I hope they redeem the remake series but ill expect it will be worse than the other two. And those were not really good to begin with. Still, we shall see
Sony does something and it gets a cynical reaction. For the love of God this just an optional thing. I think should sony give away ps5 for free people would moan they arent the Pro model. The negativity on this site is exhausting.
Funny people think hulst is sitting on a Throne maniacally laughing as he closes studios at random.
He is not a dictator. He does need to explain himself. And he bases that on data we do not have.
But why should we have nuances? Does not fit the narrative on this site and gaming in general.
I am 34 hours in and do not understand the praise this game gets. Every single quest is boring. Story is non existent. Kliff is a wet noodle. The puzzles are just 3d versions of artifex mundi puzzles. Enemy design is one note. In 34 hours i am fighting the same dudes with just different tunics. Combat is easy until you fight a boss. But that does not take any skill as you can just brute force them with enough cooking. Graphics are good, world is gigantic so if you like exploring this is the place to be. 6 seems okay to me.
As long they leave 8 Alone. What a crapfest that was. Story was bad, characters were bad, junction was bad. Now do.the smart thing and remake 6 in octopath style.
For a long time i was the only one in the world with the plat for the elemental war (td game) It feels kinda special What he did though was miles more difficult.
The game is very very good. It does not deserve to die. I hope it goes for the long haul. If only to prove the haters wrong. The amount of vitriol this game got is just...dumb really.
Yann is the most annoying character i.have encountered in a loooon time. The fact that he is in the game makes sure it will never be a great game. God i hate that one dimensional drunkard. A six seems right though. Huge world, lots to do, but story is terrible, quests are all boring (talk, ride horse, talk, collect things, ride horse back, talk. Over and over...) Controls are clunky and the game is not streamlined at all.
It is very enjoyable to walk around and do stuff. The story is crap though. Kliff sucks as a protagonist. (Could have just let us made our own). And it needs streaming asap ( just let us loot money instead of opening pouches, just let us click on ore and mine it instead of selecting a pickaxe and target the ore and then press r1 etc)
If i was sony i would just alternate like this: Let a studio make a giant budget game like last of us or God of war.. Them give them 20 million to make a small project. Them a big one again etc.
The controls are really bad. It takes so much effort to do the simple things. Why do i need to go into my inventory to open up a pouch of coins to get said coins? Why dont i loot them immediately from a corpse? Why does harvesting materials takes three or four steps and not just one streamlined proces? Why do i need to press l1 and r1 together, then let go of l1 and then tap l1 again to do some stuff? Controls really really suck
I never ever say this but for me personally it is a very weak month. Weakest ever i think. Oh well i have a huge backlog so i will manage. Taste is subjective anyway.
A studio that is known for freshing up other peoples work closes and everyone loses their mind. They have done nothing to deserve this reaction. Nothing.
@roomwithamoose Yes i do. They were giving a proven and popular ip to work with and did not do a job that was good enough. Well according to sony at least. Dont get me wrong their are a lot of studios getting shuttered and people are affected with their Lively hoods. That sucks. But Blue Point had only ever made remasters. Nothing original. So were does the narrative come from that we lost one of the great studios?
@roomwithamoose They were making a new game. But apparently it was not good enough. Everyone hating on Sony and hulst is the easy knee jerk reaction. It could also be the project they were werking on was just not good enough.
They havent done anything lately. Their greatest claim to fame were remasters. There is a big wiff of over reaction here. I hope the people involved land on their feet and get out of this well, but i do not worry at all.
God so much negativity lately. Especially when Sony announces multiplayer efforts. It is exhausting. Games are getting written off before anyone played them. Lighten up people.
I am looking forward to it. But more to see a trainwreck unfold. God are these games overhyped, bloated and terrible 'remakes' of a classic. (Yes, this is subjective i know)
The e33 love in is getting tiresome. It is good, but not the second coming of the Messiah. I mean suikoden remasters came out this year and the story of suikoden 2 is so much better then e33. And yes i am aware it is all subjective.
Is this needed? The ps4 version still holds up. I was hoping for a tales of destiny or another old one. Oh well to each his own. Lets hope more will come.
