I personally don't understand the conversation around the control scheme. yes, it's different than recent games but if you've played any amount of video games before, its not that bad lol. I got the controls down in about 30 minutes and they feel fine, having an absolute blast playing this.
My pro is ready, pre-ordered last night. Hoping to get a majority of the way through Monster Hunter Stories 3 before Thursday!!! Been waiting on this game for YEARS and i'm so ***** excited.
game is awesome, loving my first hours with it. I thought the PVP was a little scarce at first as well until I realized the first map is basically a tutorial zone, and the second map had a lot more PvP engagements, at least thats what I noticed yesterday!
Also side note, hate the commentary coming from certain corners of the internet. People hating just get some clicks, which in turn hurts new releases with player numbers, which in turn leads to studio downsizing and employee cuts. It's a vicious cycle and not one I see going away anytime soon with how the internet and social media is now.
Its dead. Also, I swear these suits are so out of touch with gamers. You want to make a sh** ton of money? Full ground up remake of Jak and Daxter or Killzone. Make a dedicated PS handheld in the same vein as Steam Deck. Create a PC launcher that has cross-buy with PS studios games and games available on both PC/PS5. Make me CEO of playstation and I will make you some money lol.
There is just absolutely no. f******. way that Sony is this incompetent. bluepoint was in incredible studio. I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THEIR NEXT REMAKE. this is so insane.
I really enjoyed my time with it yesterday. I do think it would be better as a 4v4 experience, but I had fun! Definitely unique, and there is a lot of strategy required. I will be playing it more as I enjoyed it!!
I believe in the pedigree of the team behind this game. At the very least, I suspect the gunplay will feel incredible and keep me playing with friends for a few rounds. At best, this is a new type of multiplayer shooter that weaves its way into my rotation. Excited to play once I get home from work!
If you like open world RPG's, you owe it to yourself to play this game! It absolutely has a bit of that indie "jank" but once you get passed that it is INCREDIBLE. Can't wait for the studios next game
Man, I stayed the course through all the discourse and I'm so happy I did. The game felt great in the beta and alpha tests, and I am PUMPED for this to release. So glad bungie is hitting their stride in the walk-up to release. This game is going to SMACK
My issue with the Atlus RPG's is I always get stuck at a bad level and I don't know how. Currently playing Metaphor, I am at the mission of the final battle and level 52. I have done all side missions and grinded some dungeons. After looking online, I see the recommended level for this next mission is around 70-80. At minimum I am 20 levels off from where I should be!! Kind of left me not wanting to finish as I've been playing on Hard mode. This might just be a me problem though lol
Loved this game for the first 15 hours and then the novelty wore off... Thought it was going to be a Skyrim competitor in those first hours but it just didn't have the juice. Load screens, sub par space travel, empty worlds. Hopefully this "2.0" can remedy these issues and give us the Starfield I thought we were getting when it launched!
Played the original release for maybe 4-5 hours on PS4 on release date. Was way too janky at first and I told myself I would come back when its patched. Started over once Phantom Liberty dropped and the updates were complete, and my GOD was the game incredible. I couldn't put it down, I think it's my favorite 1st person RPG of all-time.
best platformers I have played recently are Little Taxi Goes Vroom, A Hat in Time, and Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip. All of them exude charm and I've always had a soft spot for 3D platformers growing up on Mario, Croc and bandicoot. If you haven't yet, you gotta try these games out!
I will forever wish that Xbox had released Everwild, Scalebound, Perfect Dark.... they had some good exclusives that I absolutely would have brought out my series x for. Haven't turned that thing on in 3 years now probably. Don't let anyone tell you that exclusives don't matter lol
I swear I remember Larian saying they weren't going back to Divinity or Baldurs gate for their next game. Maybe I am misremembering/making it up. I loved Divinity 1 and 2 though so sign me up for 3 if this is true!
The one and only thing I am looking for at the game awards is Little Devil Inside. I have been waiting YEARS, and the last update made the game look better than ever. PLEASE GIVE ME THAT GAME!!!
@athrum exactly. having the episodes release weekly is exponentially better than having to wait weeks or months for the next episode. Of course this was going to be received better! People still tune in weekly for good, on-going TV shows so why not this?
I know its not a popular opinion and COD is such a massive game for people, but I would not mind if Treyarch, Infinity Ward or whoever took a year or 2 break and came back with a new game/IP.
We've had COD for like 23 years now, lets get something new going!
Please, if you have not played this game yet and you read this comment, play the game. The story, characters, animation is all so S-Tier its almost unbelievable. Please buy and play this so we get season 2!!!
My biggest hesitation to get one of these is input lag/delay. Can anyone who owns one attest to how this feels? I just always assumed that streaming or remote play would not be as responsive, and most of the games I like to play require precise input. Is the portal ACTUALLY feasible to legitimately play games??
You said that if you search solo, you are going up against teams or 2 or 3. I've actually not seen this happen yet as all my solo runs have seemed to be matched against other solo players. The dev's also said their main matchmaking focus was to put solo's against solo's and parties against other parties.
Absolutely loved the first game, just found it to be way shorter than I anticipated. LOVING the second game so far, for fans of new vegas and open world RPG's this is a banger.
I would love them to do DOSIII, but truthfully I want them to do something brand new and unique. They have shown they are kinds of CRPG, and I'd be ok with another CRPG but not in the vein of DOS or Baldurs Gate. Whatever they make next though I am there day one lol.
If you signed up for LABS but didn’t get in, check your email! I think all who signed up get an early access code even if you didn’t get in. Mine was sitting in my inbox when I checked and I never got into LABS!
I will absolutely jump at the chance to play through this on modern hardware. I still hop on my PS3 from time to time to play this. PLEASE LET ME PLAY IN 60 FPS!!
Been waiting to run abiotic with my friend group for so long! I have it on PC but none of my other friends have a PC, so now we can get it started. Game is AMAZING!
@rjejr absolutely not, the game is technically incredible. Even if you don't like/play soccer, if you have friends to play with you owe it to yourself to play this game!
been playing in the playtests for a number of months, game feels awesome. The F2P model seems like it will work really well for the skate franchise. Def sign up and play if you can!
i had a sour taste in my mouth about this game before it released and holy...... was I wrong. I am so addicted to this game its unreal, if you have a couple friends and enjoy fromsoft games, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
I've never been a big racing game person, but I will admit I played this for a bit on my Series X when it dropped years ago. It definitely was better than most racing games I've played, I would consider picking it up if it ever gets a physical release!
@UltimateOtaku91 dude, if we EVER get another ni no kuni game I will LOSE IT. The first game is still to this day one of the best/most original and fun RPG's I have played. i NEED another ni no kuni.
This game makes me so excited for the future of games. Smaller budget, smaller dev teams, can create an absolute masterpiece like this? Such a boon for gamers! The fact this quality can come from a small studios first game is absolutely incredible. Can't wait to finish the full game!!
been playing on and off since the early access launch on steam and the game is GAS. definitely just a fun pick-up-and-play game that you can mess around in for a while. Will definitely pick this up on PS5
i might be in the minority here, but the best ARPG right now isn't diablo OR POE2..... its Last Epoch. Once that drops on consoles I am going to be LOCKED in
Absolutely loved the first one, only complaint was that it was too short. All of a sudden the game just ended and you're just like "okay...?". Other than that I loved it, pumped for the second.
