Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director

Broosh

I wish I shared this same optimism, but Rebirth left a sour taste in my mouth. To clarify, I don't hate the game by any stretch (Queens Blood, my beloved), but for me it doubled down on the things I didn't like about Remake. Unfortunately this time I won't be there on day one (but plenty of people will so the game will be fine and reviewed great, etc.).

Re: PS5 Soulslike Code Vein 2 Couldn't Be More Anime If It Tried

Broosh

@get2sammyb I'd say its worth a look, the combat does lack impact but still controls well enough, and I would argue it does have decent boss fights. The main thing I wasn't a big fan of is the level design, as they lean a little too hard into the labyrinth-like structure for me, especially later on (like the clearly Anor Londo-inspired stage - it's a mess).

Re: 'If This Doesn't Sell, There Won't Be a Next One': Dynasty Warriors 3 Remake Producer Asks for Support

Of course they'd use this old threat...I would have been an immediate buyer if they chose 4, but they chose the game before it instead. I guess I'm obligated to buy this one in the off-chance 4 can get the same treatment 😒 This isn't anything against DW3, I just started with 4 and have the most nostalgia of playing that entry specifically, especially with friends.

Re: Fans Left Speechless as Capcom Locks Street Fighter 6 Finals Behind Paywall

Broosh

There's a reason the prices are quoted in yen on the announcement, these events have a large viewership in Japan, let alone however well they do internationally. To treat this as a small niche event that nobody cares about is a bizarre mindset 🤔 Nonetheless, this is not a good practice and will obviously alienate and discourage new viewers, especially outside of Japan. Hopefully the criticisms are heard...

Re: Cult Grasshopper Game Let It Die Gets a Roguelite Follow-Up for PS5

Broosh

I'll buy this on Steam if it ends up worth it, but MTX in a paid game doesn't leave a good first impression 😒 The first Let It Die got really tough, even with the free overpowered weapons, and the grind became too much for me. Really charming writing though, Jukka as Uncle Death will be sorely missed in this entry...

Re: Konami 'Forgiven' for Dropping Metal Gear Solid Voice Lead in Fifth Game

Broosh

@Anthony_Daniels I...don't think we're in disagreement? Lol Nanomachines indeed. That's a fair point, Big Boss isn't Hayter in 4, and he's substantially older (but so was Snake...😵‍💫). And we can't even act like Ocelot has a consistent voice either 😆 At the time of release I was mad about it because Snake=Hayter, this was also around the time Splinter Cell replaced Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher in Blacklist, so it was weird seeing those iconic character voices getting replaced. There's certainly the story and mocap reasons, but that's why the JP Snake remaining the same in V made the news hard to accept at the time.

Re: Konami 'Forgiven' for Dropping Metal Gear Solid Voice Lead in Fifth Game

Broosh

I thought this was lame when ground zeroes released, especially with the Japanese VA for Snake staying the same, but I accepted it over time. Nonetheless, it isn't Sutherland's fault he had little direction and chances to voice lines (outside of the in-game tapes), and it's cool to see Hayter let bygones. Great gameplay, pretty pointless plotline.

Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?

Broosh

Good game, in my opinion a tad overrated, but that's just me. Sucker Punch games previously have made platforming a lot of fun, which wasn't a thing here. The open world still had a little of that formulaic waypoint Ubisoft fluff. And there being no narrative alterations or punishment for using cheap ninja kills was unfortunate. I would have gone for a no stealth playthrough (with the stealth not being anything special) but the game forces you into the ghost systems anyways. The 1v1 duels were probably the highlight for me.

Re: Dark Souls, Elden Ring Dev May Have Another New Game for 2026

Broosh

FromSoft already confirmed multiplayer-focused entries aren't replacing traditional solo-focused games, yet people are still quick to moan. Yes, they have traditional games in their pipeline, even if these two games aren't your cup of tea 😉 Maybe DS3 can be the new Last of Us, where we get a Remaster then a Remake 🤣

Re: Metal Gear Solid Multiplayer Returns in Delta's New Fox Hunt Mode

Broosh

@Waa-Laa MGS3 always had multiplayer so this is a confusing take? 🤔 If it wasn't for you then, why would you bother with it now anyways?
Edit: Makes sense now, as a trophy hunter the PS2 must not have held any appeal to you at all.

It is sad the original MGO won't be returning, so they definitely have their work cut out for them making Fox Hunt as appealing. Hopefully they learned from the trainwreck of a multiplayer mode in MGSV...

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2025?

Broosh

Hooo man if it wasn't for Scott Pilgrim, Stranger Than Heaven, and RE9, I'd say complete waste of time as far as brand new game announcements are concerned. Overall very poor, though I expected as such when Sony had one of, if not THE best, State of Play streams beforehand.
