Almost every sequel has a better score than part 1.
So....no, there is definitely not a sequel problem

Yeah....not playing until the 60fps patch.

Playing with Crossplay off from day one, now 100 hours in and zero problems. I'm playing 90% of the time against real players.

Will play it when the game has an fitting/appropriate price (€40)

They really shot themselves in the foot with the €70 pricing.

@ShogunRok Is the pacing better than Daybreak? I couldn't bare the 80% talking/20% gameplay loop.

It was so dialogue heavy and mosty unvoiced. I eventually stopped playing it after 10-12 hours.

@get2sammyb In your preview you wrote that you played a 60fps version.

This demo is clearly 30fps, do you know anything about this?

30fps is unacceptable for a game like this.

Very excited about this 😎

@Fatewalker This, nail on the head.
And all of that for "only" $70/€70 😅

I will wait a couple of months for some patches and a big holiday sale at Christmas.

Good contender for the "wait for sale" list.

The gameplay is just too simplistic for 2025 to earn higher than an 8 (Metacritic overall) or too pay €40

Chinese developers are cooking these last couple of years

I'm waiting on combat gameplay. With the exception of Tales of Arise i never liked their combat system..

Last remaster i tried had a weird 2D combat system instead of just free walking/fighting. You could only move horizontal??

Asian devs have been cooking the last couple of years and it seems like they are not stopping 😎

@Blauwe_Chimay I still play BFV every week with the squad. BF4, 1 and V were excellent games with a good community to this day. I tried 2042 and you could feel the culture change. I'm hoping 6 wil bring back the O.G's and drive away the CoD k/d campers.

Looking forward to the game.

Not looking forward to all the new CoD players coming with it. Stay at your trash game. We don't want the BF culture to change.

I'm not sold on the "Pick Ten" system, but we will see how it will play out. I'm just hoping they can create that overwhelming feeling 1 and V created. Large maps which are alive and flags that you can approach from every angle so you can make it tactical.

"It’s a shame the on-the-fly customisation from 2042 hasn’t made its way over"

Thank god for that!
We dont need that kind of BS in a clean BF4/6 experience.

Lies of P ❤️

Everybody give the game a chance!

The performance issues and overall lack of polish are a bummer. I was hoping to play this at launch.

Guess i will wait for a couple of post launch fixes..

@lazarus11 I just think the gaming world is better off without him, for both our sakes. The decisions made with TLoU2 were the worst decisions they/them could ever make and his smug and arrogant reactions in the media made it all worse.

Seeing his name and E33 combined in this article is upsetting. I don't want him anywhere near the possible GOTY of 2025. A big reason why the game is a GOTY contender is because it doesn't have a Neil Druckmann at the head.

Bad decision to put the hardest difficulty behind NG+. I'm not playing a linear game twice if the only difference is difficulty..

I don't get NG+ in most games.
You start with everything you can collect in your 1st playtrough, so whats the point/goal of your 2nd journey..

Smart of them.

It draws back the gamers to the game in preparation for The Beast later this year

Drop a 60fps patch, then we will check it out.

It being a turn-based game doesn't make 30fps acceptable, 60fps is the bar in 2025

Will wait for the 60fps patch before even considering buying it.

Good, i was curious about this one.

And people still adore this remaster...

I rather have less pretty graphics and 60fps gameplay. This is probably going to be 30fps and that is unacceptable in 2026.

I have full trust in this, SP has a good track record 😎

Looking forward to October for this GOTY contender.

Euh....why?

Never got Speed Runners or "gamers" who exploit glitches or bugs.

You can become lvl 100 stealth in the opening of Oblivion....that takes away the whole purpose of playing the game.

"although it’s unclear whether it’ll feature crossplay with the PC and mobile versions"

If i wanted to play with PC and mobile people i would buy/play the game there.

Turing crossplay Off is the first thing i do in many games.

@Teldoestofu Clair Obscure Parry window is very small and late. Once i started parrying "too late" it worked.

Bethesda remains one of the worst developers.

This means an instant buy and probably a GOTY contender

This solves most of the downsides i experienced with the game

@Anke It got a 60fps patch in November "24

8.4, closer to an 8 than a 9.

A couple of basic functions are missing which were present in previous games

• Meditate for day/night
• Auto follow for the horse
• Mark and sell all for gear, now you have to sell each item individually. It takes a lot of time
• No blood drops on the floor when sheating weapon
• There is 1 sensitivity instead of 2.
  I want 1 for looking,1 for aiming.
• And last there are a couple of bugs, 2 examples: The low res chests and the coming alive of assasinated enemies (it's a miracle!)

@IssyVeedz Of course you rate the game as it is now. But i know they are going to tweak the loot system and inconsistent balancing/combat.

The story is a shame.

But the mission structure is like Nioh, so that structure was clear from the demo. So i am at peace with that.

I have never seen the movies ( i know..shame on me)

But this i'm interested in.

@SMcCrae95 If 9 out of 10 reviews give it a 8.0 and 1 site gives it a 6. I know which one falls out of tone.

Sure everyone has their opinion, but some are more right than others.

With an average score of 8.0 at Meta and Opencritic, a 6.0 doesn't sound right.

The amount of loot and the balancing issues (read in many other reviews) are both fixable with updates, so the game is 1 or 2 patches away from greatness.

A sure buy for me!

@AaronBayne How was the performance?

Hoping for a steady 60fps on Base PS5.

4K 60fps > RT

Performance mode all the way!

@trev666 Ah here we have a vulture in the gaming community.

"Smaller doesn't mean shorter"

This.

We need Odyssey story length on Origins sized map. Shadows sounds like it is.

Valhalla was way too big.

Totally agree.

Worst camera in years. The constant resetting of the vertical camera and no Lock on means the camera is to slow to follow the action.

Most Hack&slash game i have played in years. Indeed Shallow gameplay like mentioned in the review. Playing on Hard and its mostly spamming Square with a occasional triangle.

@Fanboys stop defending a mediocre game in 2025 standards. Maybe the OG game was good for its time, but its underwhelming for 2025

Just a simple 7/10 game good for a sale.

@Fluberuper I found the actual combat parts very fun. But the dialogue heavy parts made me stop halfway..

Hoping this part is more action focussed.

The framerate of the PS5 Battle demo is a mess. At best around 55fps and at worst below 48fps (VRR minimum)

The PS4 version of the Battle demo is almost a locked 60fps, a much better experience!

I was hoping they were going to fix the choppy framerate..

@B0udoir Also really liked that game

@LiamCroft Of course it's exaggerated. Maybe SH2 on place 1 bothers me even more than the second place for FF7.

@Konks SH2 was a very blant, boring and empty game. I liked the fullness of FF7 Rebirth, it really was a complete game.

SH2 should have been 4th or not even on this list. Romancing Saga 2 was an amazing remake and deserves that #4 spot more.
