Most Lego titles are original, off-beat stories with characters of some fantasy origin. Retelling the same exact story as the real Horizon game is really dumb. Glad the game failed, don’t make a “lego” version of a game that’s already released.
Common sense seems to have abandoned video game developers.
With a console, games made for it are going to work. With a PC, unless you own the most top of the line computer, and keep it updated with latest tech, you are limited in game choice.
Biggest difference between Microsoft and Sony, Sony looks forward pushing games to their limit. Microsoft likes to keep milking the cows, where games must be for both systems, graphics/power be damned. Oh and they have to be PC compatible from day 1. Can’t fix stupid.
You have 24 hours to save your family, in a Farcry game. So, no more quests, requests, base tagging, zany alien conspiracies and any exploration. Great idea guys. Looks like Embracer is gonna gobble you up when this fails.
Sounds like the single player is in for a Remnant 2 experience, where enemy groups still attack en masse, bosses are still made for 3 players and there isn’t enough time to gain power as a single player.
@Northern_munkey by the time your on the 3rd or 4th play through, it gets old. Things don’t get interesting until after the job, and no you can’t save Jackie no matter what.
Main issue with these games is no “skip” button. The storylines are so dreadfully boring and just go on and on, that the gameplay gets bogged down. Most people don’t care about whatever relationship with whatever character.
Soul Reaver has the worst ending ever. Imagine beating it in the week after release and hitting that screen. Don’t get me started on 2. Makes my head hurt.
So they took the potential open world idea that’s been a staple in past titles and cast it aside in favor of older mechanics. Sounds like the game was rushed with poor game decisions. Exploration and finding silly puzzles is usually the rule, this is dissatisfying at best.
Much like ET, I was in the “capture and study” camp. Obviously it could communicate and was intelligent, why kill it? Looks like a fun old style RE game.
So they’re going to make it harder(easier) for a game that’s meant to be for kids(adults) to play their own way. Let’s not just ban anyone over a certain age or at this point, wipe the server and start over. Money talks and kids don’t make money.
What works in a movie, does not translate well to a game. Being quiet and silent with insta-fail mechanics sounds like a nightmare. Movies are entertaining enough, but the fun factor of trying to be a hero in this world seems more akin to playing frogger.
Great game, although finding things to do at endgame is problematic. A lot of activities require you to have 8 characters, which sucks when you’ve gotten used to only needing 4 for everything else. Still, it has its charms.

Vagrant Story. Re-something to it.
Re: Game of the Year: #6 - Silent Hill 2

Re: Even in a Wacky Nautical Spin-Off, Yakuza Just Feels Wrong in English
Watching anime in Japanese is one thing since you’re just watching. Playing and reading is too much for these old eyes.

Re: Elden Ring: Nightreign Explained, Can Be Played in Single Player and Offline
Sounds like the single player is in for a Remnant 2 experience, where enemy groups still attack en masse, bosses are still made for 3 players and there isn’t enough time to gain power as a single player.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.2 Out Now, Expands Character Creation, Vehicle Customisation, Photo Mode

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.2 Out Now, Expands Character Creation, Vehicle Customisation, Photo Mode
Still no skip option to skip the intro story quests, like I want to see Jackie die over and over.
Re: Sony Highlights Biggest PS5 Games for 2025 in New Trailer

Re: Stunning PS5 Sandbox Towers of Aghasba Out Now in Early Access
I’d need more information on the game. It seems reminiscent of NMS, with that do anything aspect.
Re: Here's a Taste of Soul Reaver's Remastered Gameplay on PS5, PS4
Soul Reaver has the worst ending ever. Imagine beating it in the week after release and hitting that screen. Don’t get me started on 2. Makes my head hurt.
Re: There Is a God! Legacy of Kain PS5 Pre-Orders Are Exceeding Expectations
Played the series on the Dreamcast. No need to revisit this paradoxical, “to be continued” BS.
Re: Valve Celebrates 20 Years of Half-Life 2 with New Documentary
Interesting, but haven’t ever played half-life 1 or 2. Never got released on PS or never made it to plus.

Why so serious?
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on PS5, PS4 Looks Mad, Dog
The ship battles when zoomed out look a bit like remote controlled toys. Tournament of captains part. So maybe it’s all a dream?

Yay, Honkai Star Rail. Fun game, tons of unlocks.

So it’s watchdogs 2 meets resident evil in a Ghostwire Tokyo mashup.
Re: Manga Masterpiece Death Note Becomes Among Us in Online PS5, PS4 Outing
I’m a bit too introverted for this type of game. My anxiety would be at peak ADHD if I attempted this. Good anime though.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2024 Announced
@springer17 Same, think I got a few of those 100 yokai parades to do. Plus they added a post game dungeon.
Re: The Thing Remastered Looks Like a Superb PS5, PS4 Retelling of an Underappreciated PS2 Classic
Much like ET, I was in the “capture and study” camp. Obviously it could communicate and was intelligent, why kill it? Looks like a fun old style RE game.
Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2
It could happen, just like Starfield could be ported to PS5. Pipe dream at best.

Re: Mini Review: A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead (PS5) - Immersive and Surprisingly Impressive
What works in a movie, does not translate well to a game. Being quiet and silent with insta-fail mechanics sounds like a nightmare. Movies are entertaining enough, but the fun factor of trying to be a hero in this world seems more akin to playing frogger.

I guess proofreading is an outdated profession now.
Re: Fan-Made GTA Online Hamlet Production Coming to Cinemas, Streaming Services
What’s next? A Dark Souls drama? Anime is fine, but this? Head scratcher to me at least.

Re: Try Ys X: Nordics' Fast-Paced Combat in PS5, PS4 Demo, Available Now
Poor guy. Every game he either has amnesia or lost his stuff. Possibly running out of reasons why he starts from lvl 1 consistently. Great series.
Re: TRON: Catalyst Is an Isometric Action Adventure Set within Disney's Video Game World
Great. A non descriptive tron world made even less detailed by zooming out for a Diablo clone. Always saving a buck Disney. Pass.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail Goes Harry Potter As the Trailblazer Enrols at Penacony University in PS5 Update
Need more interactive trash cans. Maybe a land of trash or some other trash joke.
Re: Gallery: That One Time We Visited Honkai: Star Rail's Penacony

Re: Report Brands Roblox 'X-Rated Paedophile Hellscape' for Children, with Inflated Player Numbers
From a pure money standpoint, kids don’t have a lot of money, whereas adults do. In a capitalist run society, easier to lie than share the truth.
