The episodic release worked because you were getting 2 episodes every week for 4 weeks, you didn't have to wait months or even up to 1 year like you did with old Telltale games and LiS games.
The 2 major things that made me stop playing was the introduction of Eververse and later the "You had to be there" mentality that causes story to disappear basically making you buy those season passes for 10€ due to FOMO.
I'm really looking forward to this one. It's made by ex-Bioware vets, looks a looot like ME and the lore so far has been pretty cool. I read the Archimedes Engine and it was pretty dope.
As a TV show, I would give it a 9. Love the story, the characters and the humor. As a game, it's barely a 6. You can miss all the QTE's, the dispatch minigame, the hacking and not choose any dialog and nothing major will change.
I'm still going through the Cold Steel games (at the 3rd one right now) and I'll only get to Sky after I finish those. Granted I should do it after Reverie and Daybreak as well, but I don't have the mental fortitude to wait.
Not playing the second one. I played and beat the first one, was kinda fun, but it still felt like an offbrand Fallout with worse combat, and the most vanilla companions ever.
Ridiculous article from IGN. 99.9% of humanity has and/or will experience grief, that's just part of life. So having it in stories with human characters or human-like characters is the most natural thing in the world.
@get2sammyb Oh these are getting scalped to high heaven, dude. The crappy part is that instead of making a bundle with the characters they're dividing it into several, probably with cards no one wants, just to stretch the price.
It looks cool, lets see if it's good. If "losing creative minds" makes the game have less of his head up its own ass, I'm all good for that. The first game was a bit pretentious at points, to say the least. I still really liked it though.
Funny that they're asking if you want more info about MGS Collection Vol.2 since they haven't give any info. My sources at the time told me there were 2 volumes, but they said that the games would be divided between Solid Snake games and BB games (which wasn't true), so now I wonder if we'll ever get the volume 2 collection.
There's a camera option at the start of the game where you play a curated experience selected by the devs, this leads me to believe it will swap between first person and third depending of the areas you're in or maybe the characters you play.
This looks ok, but I'm still skeptical. SH2 was great, but they worked with an established game, I cannot forget the half-dozen or so crappy games that they released before. Still, hoping it's cool.
@Propaperpusher It's not really a souls-like. There's no bonfires, no "souls currency". It's just an action game with very deep exploration. The demo was kinda cool, I'm looking forward to it.
Kinda wish they would bring the Ori games over as well, the second one is especially amazing. I bought NRftW's early access when it became available, mainly due to the art style and loving the Ori games, and I have to say that the game isn't that good.
@IntrepidWombat Open world with lots of stuff happening in the map at the same time. It's the same issue that Dragons Dogma 2 had. You have countless monsters in the map, each following their own routine
Man, the flying around and the combat in this game were really cool, shame that the rest was pretty bad. But yeah, people dished 70€ for this thing and now they have a nice coaster.
Guess I'm an out of touch old man, but I have no idea who this person is and I don't see any association with her and Playstation. But sure Sony....you do you
I'm cautiously optimistic. SH2 was great, but the source was there to copy from. Their original games were mostly from bad to *****, so let's wait and see. I do hope it's great though.
It's probably set in 1915 and in 1943, and maybe later as well, it was called project century after all. Maybe the main character is an immortal. His eyes glow blue in both trailers.

Re: 'If You Think It's Just a Remake, You're Hugely Mistaken': Yakuza Kiwami 3 Has 'Major Hints' About Series' Future
Let me guess, they're going to revive another dead character, probably Mine this time, since you have a short story about him.

Re: As If Playing Elden Ring Isn't Punishing Enough, a Book All About Its Lore Is Coming Soon
Looks very nice, but 80+ euros is a tad too much for me.
Re: Tales of Berseria Remastered Set for PS5, $40 Game Out on 27th February
A bit odd they're doing this, since there's a PS4 version

Re: Jaw-Dropping PS5 Remake Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Snaps a 12th March Release Date
From the game details in the game's website, it seems it's going to run at 30 FPS in consoles, even on Pro, which is odd.
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
@get2sammyb people will still get mad they didn't announce TLOU3, God of War Egypt and Bloodborne 2

Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Seemingly Leaked on Dev Website
@Jammer dude 6 could've been great if they just killed Kiryu off
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Seemingly Leaked on Dev Website
Nice for people who haven't played it, but Yakuza 3 has the worst story of the series, or maybe tied with 5 for worst story.
Re: Superhero Adventure Game Dispatch Confirmed for PS5, and It's Releasing Episodically
I played the demo and it was really really funny. I'm looking forward to it, but I'll probably wait for a physical edition or buy it for peanuts on PC
Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Consoles, Accessories Available to Pre-Order Right Now
In my country, the covers have been sold out since yesterday. Bummer.

Re: Preview: Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword Seems Steeled for Success
@get2sammyb Sasaki Ganryu (or Sasaki Kojiro) was Musashi's rival, so you can bet we're going to see a lot of him during the game.
Re: Tales of Xillia Remastered Releases October for PS5, Xillia 2 Not Included
Not having the second one kinda sucks. Still I'm a big Xillia fan, will get it for sure.

They're always great on responding to feedback to their alphas and betas. Cannot wait for the full game
Re: Promising PS5 Horror Cronos Will Indeed Be Out This September

Re: Marvel Tokon Could Have Up to 35 Characters, Fans Hypothesise
It's ArcSys, so you'll have 12 characters at launch, and then they'll sell you 20 more over 2 years.
Re: 'PS5 Makes the Most Sense': Ori Dev Explains Why It's Swapping Xbox for Sony
Kinda wish they would bring the Ori games over as well, the second one is especially amazing.

It's worth a read, if you like comics.
Re: Director of The Last of Us' Axed PS5 Multiplayer to Start New Studio in Japan
Dude must've made bank to just move to Japan and start a new studio there, especially if he's going to Tokyo or Osaka. It's not going to be cheap.
