Today I'm going to watch new Mission Impossible, so not much gaming time. Yesterday I finally finished Atelier Lulua. Truly a wonderful charming game, but true ending grind takes forever, so I'm deciding if I just can watch it on youtube and move on to next game.
Also I started Wuchang. Yes, PC performance is far from perfect, I get stutter when entering new area, but luckily in actual battles everything works fine. And the game is very beautiful, much prettier than grey stone walls and dark caves from everyone's favourite developer. And while I have yet to encounter interesting enemies, skills and spells system makes combat much more engaging than From ever done.
That's not even a mini-review, it's non-review. What about combat mechanics, skill tree, spells, customisation? What about the story? This article has as much value as a tweet saying "I didn't like it".
Loved it on PS4 and got the platinum. But when I tried Director's Cut on PS5, I had to force myself to even finish it, open-world fatigue finally kicked in.
First thing, valm down, people, it's impossible to sell Golden content as DLC because it's spread through the whole game from the beginning. Second, I really hope that characters' stories remain unchanged and Atlus won't pander to people who unironically use the word "problematic".
@get2sammyb the amount of games for "less capable gamers" is higher than ever nowadays, while games that have the balls to demand a skill from a player are rare a f. Besides, it's Ninja Gaiden. Easy Ninja Gaiden makes as much sense as a hardcore Kirby, or Sesame Street game with blood and gore.
@Flaming_Kaiser assuming much, dear? I love female characters and I wish there were more of them (as long as they don't look like Concord rejects). It's just if gameplay is absolutely the same and the game's whole premise is indeed a quest for vengeance,
then I'm skipping for sure. I liked Tsushima, but not so much that I'm interested in Tsusima 1.5 with worse story. That's exactly what Spider Man 2 was.
P.S. Yeah, two of three games I mentioned have female protagonists. Oof, what a hater I am.
I enjoyed Tsushima, but can't really get excited about "quest for vengeance". But no biggie, my autumn gaming time will be dominated by Silent Hill f, Ninja Gaiden 4 and, hopefully, Metroid Prime 4.
My Switch 2 finally arrived, so I've been on a platforming spree before new Donkey Kong. Nearly done with Kirby Forgotten Land, replaying Super Mario Odyssey (still awesome), finishing up Hat in Time, that one on PS5 though.
My slim PS3 was bundled with inFamous (and Killzone 2), and my PS4 was bundled with Second Son, so obviously that was first games I played on my new systems. Good times.
I didn't overlook it, I bought it day one and enjoyed thoroughly. If you enjoy MonHun games and aren't allergic to anime, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Oh, and music during boss fights slaps.
Oh please. Games are still coming out for PS4, there was no tech breakthroughs at all, PS5 Pro costs like four minimum wages here, and Sony already tries to sell PS6?! Well, good luck.

I didn't like Blasphemous. Like, at all. But I sure love me some Ninja Gaiden, both 2D and 3D. Will buy as soon as it becomes available.

I just hope that four difficulty options are not like the ones that were added in Lies of P: normal, easy, game journo, cuphead tutorial survivor.

@RagnarLothbrok I don't know about that. Could look like a sad dad at right angle.
Re: Rumour: New Guilty Gear Game Gets Cancelled
I'd take new Guilty Gear or Blazblue over Marvel any day, but western audience loves their comics, I understand why Arc wanted to focus on that.

Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (PS5) - An Imperfect Remake, But a Great Skateboarding Game
@LikelySatan oh boy, I guess we'll never see eye to eye because I consider Megaman 4 the best Megaman on NES.
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (PS5) - An Imperfect Remake, But a Great Skateboarding Game
@LikelySatan I think it's hands down best entry in the series, but I guess Satan knows better.
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (PS5) - An Imperfect Remake, But a Great Skateboarding Game
THPS4 was made from the ground up by 50 people in a year. Castrating it in the remake is simply unforgivable.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
Majority of this site was hyped even before a second of gameplay footage. Being a Sony's first party game is enough to make people moist.

Re: Ninja Gaiden Ragebound Looks Ridiculously Good in This PS5, PS4 Gameplay
Yes, my only concern is how well tuned the difficulty will be. It would be a waste if the game is easier than previous games on NES.

I enjoyed Tsushima, but can't really get excited about "quest for vengeance". But no biggie, my autumn gaming time will be dominated by Silent Hill f, Ninja Gaiden 4 and, hopefully, Metroid Prime 4.

Re: Anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Officially Announced by Studio Trigger
Gee, I don't know. I very much enjoyed Edgerunners, much more than the game itself, but the story was pretty much over and done.
