The problem with open world, isn't open world. And gamers are at fault too, but it's artificial length and using open world to cover up for a boring or bad game. We have to go back to games simply being good and let everything else happen. Don't cater to trophy hunters and content creators and fans that complain about length because they only want to play 1 game for a year.
As long as Mafia is good, the world will be great whether is linear or open.
This is a win for everyone. Not interested in the game, you're not forced to watch hoping to see a game that isn't shown. Gives insight on an anticipated game to help people decide. And it broadcast the main focus. No fluff to buy time. If you complain about this, you need therapy.
Doesn't look interesting enough for me to pay money to see, maybe if it was streamed I'll watch. But most video games, even if story driven, simply don't make good movies. The first season of telltale walking dead might be the only one I'd give a try in movie form.
@thefourfoldroot1 eh.... I dunno. Saints row 2 had this feature. But if somebody joined you and then used cheats it disabled them for you too. Except there no way to prevent people from joining your game and using. Smh
I'm not fussed about it, but the childish part of me wants them to have to use psn account on Xbox because for the Minecraft games I had to use a ms account lol
I figure prices would go up. I figure gta 6 would be the one. But not Nintendo games. They don't even push the boundary nor the industry forward. Ps4 tech games should not cost more than current prices.
Just bought vermintide 2. What interested me was the necro class. This doesn't have that, maybe something similar later. But v2 has solo with bots maybe this will get that also. Still interested. Off to see if on sale on psn
8.5 for me. I do feel it's lacking in content but cpu allys are a gift from heaven. So if I ever can't find people to play with, this gives the game so much more life imo
I'm hr 70. Game is a little too easy, but I'm also a veteran at this point, so it shouldn't be hard so that it's easy for new hunters to play the game. High rank should be a bit more challenging. That will come with title updates.
@Nem and none of that in rose was necessary to beat the hardest of difficulties.. was only really 1 hard fight the entire game and it wasn't hard. It's fine to love rose and it's also fine to be wrong
@Nem gameplay is more complex than rise. Rise was the easiest and simplest console mh. This game so far is the better. Hard to compare to worlds as far as initial impressions. But wilds is great. But new hunters are finding it hard, while veterans are finding it easy, because we already know how to play and have the weapons we've mastered.

Re: Diablo 4's Berserk Crossover DLC Costs an Insane $150
@slabula i didn't say people weren't buying it. Have great day
Re: Diablo 4's Berserk Crossover DLC Costs an Insane $150
@slabula accountants aren't playing these games. You might be missing my point. Take care
Re: Diablo 4's Berserk Crossover DLC Costs an Insane $150
This incredibly sucks. I still don't get how they don't understand you'll make more money if it were cheaper.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
@Cornpop76 that isn't the case here. This series is bigger than that.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
Finally a summer time block buster. Companies take notes.

I'm excited. Even 3 grew on me. It's fun, just the story is bad.

Re: GTA 6 Release Date Has Nothing to Do with Borderlands 4 Change
Still bothers me that more blockbuster games don't release in the late spring and summer months when I have more time. Sales are not hindered.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Didn't Get Big DLC Because It's 'Boring' to Make
If the developers aren't passionate about adding a bunch of dlc, that's fine.
Re: Ghost of Yotei's PS5 Price Provokes Fresh Switch 2 Fury
@Chimmy1024 Nintendo is not all in on microtransactions? That's completely false. Even if they aren't as brazen as the usual suspects like EA
Re: Ghost of Yotei's PS5 Price Provokes Fresh Switch 2 Fury
It's like all Nintendo had to do was charge 69 bucks and throw in an optional deluxe edition that fans would have bought anyways.

Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Isn't Going Open World, But Bigger Locations Are a Focus
I really thought the first one was boring and awful and too tight. Maybe this one will be better with a more open environment.

@ZeroSum i rather a 10 year road map than annual releases
Re: PS5 Fans Give Bungie's Marathon the Cold Shoulder, 34% Say You'd Have to Pay Them to Play
Hard to say I'm willing to pay for a game i know very little about. But if it's fun, paying 40 bucks is fine
Re: PS5 Price Increases Announced by Sony, Affect UK, Europe, and More
I'm sorry guys. America sucks right now. One day it'll suck less, bear with us
Re: Marathon a 'Premium', Paid for Game on PS5, But It's Not $70
Would be a great game to release in summer months. But it has to go up against borderlands 4 and possibly gta 6
Re: Microsoft's Age of Empires 2 PS5 Port Confirmed for 6th May
The main xbox port i wanted, which really it's just a pc game that I was too lazy to play on pc.
Re: RPGs Reportedly on the Rise as the Live Service, Battle Royale Trend Falters

Re: Sony Won't Force PSN on Xbox, PC Players of Marathon

@themightyant if that's your only source you definitely misunderstand.
Re: Feature: PS5's Not Perfect, But Here Are 5 Ways It's More Consumer Friendly Than Switch 2
Sony does anything slightly wrong, gamers kill them. Other companies don't receive nearly the same criticisms.
Re: Switch 2 Isn't Targeting People Who Want 'High-Performance Hardware', Like PS5 Pro
They don't seem to be targeting me. That's for sure
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on Potential $80 PS5 Games?
I figure prices would go up. I figure gta 6 would be the one. But not Nintendo games. They don't even push the boundary nor the industry forward. Ps4 tech games should not cost more than current prices.
Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Looks Solid But the Many PS5, PS4 Ports Won't Spook Sony Yet
Hopefully the from software game is timed exclusive.. but I'm not sold on switch as I rarely care to play anything mobile.

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Huge Title Update 1 Detailed, Here's Everything You Need to Know
Great update, if this is the base line for title updates this game is going to continue to be excellent.
Re: Following Sony No-Show, Bloodborne Community Prepares to Return to Yharnam
If we don't see a sequal to bloodbourne within the first year of the ps6 or before... Sony has abandoned the ip. My speculation at this point.
Re: Iconic Game Maker Says Japanese Devs Should Stop Trying to Appeal to Westerners
There's enough western gamers that will gravitate towards the uniqueness. They shouldn't sacrifice that. Monster hunter didn't sacrifice.
Re: Single Player Games Aren't Dead, 'They Just Have to Be Good', Says Larian Studios CEO
It's very well for a game to be good and fun.... and not sell well. Developers should focus on that instead of following trends.
Re: Skate PS5 Isn't Even Out Yet, But It Already Has Microtransactions
If everything will be refunded, then players shouldn't need to use real money. Just give them free fake money
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Monster Hunter Wilds?
8.5 for me. I do feel it's lacking in content but cpu allys are a gift from heaven. So if I ever can't find people to play with, this gives the game so much more life imo

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds a Best-Seller in the UK as Series Continues Upwards Trajectory
@Nem you can literally carry two different weapons now. So if you love variety, there ya go. Stop crying.

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds a Best-Seller in the UK as Series Continues Upwards Trajectory
Great game. Rubss smooth mostly on base ps5. Unless gta 6 comes out this year, easy goty. Just remember, Everton before the credits is the tutorial.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Monster Hunter Wilds?
@Enuo what's that and why is that?
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Monster Hunter Wilds?
Monster hunter world was the best game last generation. Hopefully this game gives me the same vibe.
