I get that AI has its problems and probably needs to be regulated more, but this kind of stuff is just histrionics. AI will become the norm and this kind of news won't mean anything to anyone.
Does quality of life also mean there's an option to turn off the characters shouting their move names each time they use them? Cause that got annoying real fast.
I've played so many other games in-between 5 and 6 that it doesn't bother me at all. I'll wait and see what the reviews are like and maybe get it on sale.
I still can't grasp the reasoning for trying to buff or nerf a character in a fighting game. Years ago a game would just come out and, for better or worse, the devs would just leave it be and move on to something else.
Wonder how they'd do a remake. Would it retain similar character designs or would they make it look more like FF7R? Also FF7Rs larger story is different, almost a quasi-sequal of sorts, so would an FF9 remake be the same?
It's a single player game. Once the main quest is over it's finished. What is it they wanted out of all this? The team have already moved on to the next game.
No mention of Eurogamers preview pointing out that there's no map?
"but the act of trying to find a way forward - coupled together with some truly excessive motion blur that I couldn't disable for the life of me in this particular build - made navigating these lush environments more of a chore than I was expecting"
I could only see this happening if it were an FF7R style remake. Alternative timeline were Kratos returns to his younger body and relives the events of the first game, but with the ability to alter how it all plays out.
This isn't really a story though, is it? If you do anything on the internet, anything at all, someone will have a gripe about it. It's been that way since the Internet was created.
To get the third game on Xbox that would mean adding the first two as well. If Square Enix are so driven by sales how will they feel when all three entries end up on GamePass? They wouldn't be sold at full, or even half price.
Really makes you wonder why anyone would buy a game on day one when all developers seem to do is either fix it due being a buggy mess or make changes to how it plays due to negative feedback. Always better to wait for the sales.
I saw a mention of doing an AC game in ancient Africa so that a black protag would make sense. Forgive my ignorance but what game based in ancient Africa could Ubisoft have even made? I'm not aware of any part of that history.

Re: Review in Progress: Battlefield 6 (PS5) - You Won't Be Buying This One for the Campaign
When has anyone ever bought a Battlefield game for the single-player? Multiplayer has always been where it's at.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage's Free, Saudi-Funded Expansion Launches in November
I finished the game and have no interest in playing it anymore.
Re: Preview: It's Mine's Time to Shine in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
"in hindsight it was a little too slow for its own good"
That's an understatement. Those orphanage parts were putting me to sleep.
Re: Run an Okinawa Orphanage for Hours and Hours in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties for PS5, PS4
"Run an Okinawa Orphanage for hours and hours"
I hope not, the orphanage parts near the start of the game nearly killed my interest.
Re: Hardcore FPS Ready or Not Takes PS5 by Storm, Console Sales at 2 Million
This games Reddit page says the games broken, is that right or are they just being too critical?
Re: PS5 Fans Getting 'Really Carried Away' with Job Listing Which Implied More Exclusives Could Be Ported to Xbox, Switch
Right cause it was only the fans that were getting carried away...
Re: The Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Doesn't Look Good, But That's Kinda Perfect
But if the first film was so bad how did it get a sequel? I mean Dredd was great but it didn't get one...
Re: Oblivion Remastered Runs Worse the Longer You Play on PS5
I've played 36 hours and haven't noticed anything.
Re: Fallout TV Show Could Be Around for Another 5 Seasons
Most modern tv shows only remain great for about 2 or 3 seasons before they fizzle out. Doubt this makes it to 6.

Re: Oblivion Remastered: Everything We Know Ahead of Its Rumoured Release Next Week
My own assumption about the combat is that it'll be closer to what Skyrim had. Doubt we get anything better than that if it's a remake/remaster.
Re: PS5's Death Stranding 2 Will Become a Visual Novel to Get You Through Its Most Difficult Parts
So in other words it's almost like a "film" mode. Kojima loves his cutscenes.
Re: Tekken 8 Reveals 'Emergency' Patches as Player Backlash Spirals Out of Control

Re: Final Fantasy 9 Teases 'Various Projects' to Commemorate 25th Anniversary

Re: Tekken 8 Walks Back Baffling Season 2 System Change After Player Protests
Ok but can I ask why a fighting game even has seasons?
Re: Reaction: Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics
They should do something with InFamous.

Re: Persona 4 PS5 Remake Hopes Higher Still as Domain Registration Is Noted
@Areus Remake them to look like what though? They'd end up the same as P3, 4 and 5. No way they'd make them the dungeon crawlers they used to be.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5) - Striking Open World RPG Is a Real Cut Above
Definitely playing it in Japanese.

Re: PSN Downtime Raises Fresh Questions About PS5's Future Functionality
Feels like an overreaction. Was this the first major outage since 2011? I mean if it happened more frequently I could understand the concern.
Re: Reassigned BioWare Staff Might Not Get to Go Back to Developer
Fully expect Bioware to be shutdown after the next game. Been on borrowed time for years now.
Re: Abby's Muscles Less Relevant to HBO's The Last of Us Adaption
The character should be more important than the appearance.
Re: Rumour: Halo: The Master Chief Collection Coming to PS5 This Year
I'd be more excited for flight sim and Elder Scrolls 4 remake.
Re: Leaked GTA 6 Image, Reportedly from Rockstar's Own Office, Surfaces
@Frmknst People seem to love the gacha copy/paste. I'm struggling to see the difference between the games at this point.
Re: Leaked GTA 6 Image, Reportedly from Rockstar's Own Office, Surfaces
Not buying this day one. Gonna wait till the "testers" are done with it and Rockstar then patch it, like most other AAA releases these days.
Re: Consoles Here to Stay, PS5 to Be Supported into Next-Gen, Says PlayStation CEO
Better off waiting for the PS6 Pro since PS6 games will probably "struggle to run on it" or "not look as visually stunning".
Re: Conspiratorial Marvel Rivals Report Suggests Bots in Quickplay Always Part of the Plan
"Competitive is toxic"
Only if you actually communicate with teammates, which I don't. It's mic off for me 😁

Re: Falcom Pulls an Atlus, Announces a 'Significantly Upgraded' Version of Ys X: Nordics
I didn't buy it yet, and now I'm starting to think I should hold back on buying Falcom games when they first come out in future.
Re: Infinity Nikki's Epic Story Trailer Introduces the Cosiest PS5 Game Ever
@Dom_31 I too have noticed that even in some reviews on other sites, the word "gacha" is conveniently missing.
Re: Infinity Nikki: All Release Times and Preload Details
Create an account? But I was told creating accounts just to play games is bad...
Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Does Away with Forced Stealth in Major Update
Really makes you wonder why anyone would buy a game on day one when all developers seem to do is either fix it due being a buggy mess or make changes to how it plays due to negative feedback. Always better to wait for the sales.
Re: Infinity Nikki Will Be the Next Big Thing on PS5
So it this a gacha game or not?

Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
Let's be honest, this is just console wars garbage isn't it? Some people just don't want to create accounts with rival companies.
