@LeeBB_Art Its a fighting game so post release "balance" patches will change things for the meta. The game didn't have these "issues" at launch in Season 1 it was Season 2 last year that added them where they flipped the script on how the game played much to the annoyance of the community (though personally i found it just fine).
@Sulleymonster Most open world games don't have a climb anything feature, i guess by your logic Red Dead 2 is not an open world because you can't anything.
Also let's not glaze CD here the vast majority of its side content is fetch quests and clearing bandit camps. Every now and then you get something more evolving but the majority is MMO style side content. Zelda is creative CD is not. What CD has is scale and near endless content but it doesn't push open world games forward it just takes bits from all the others and does it half as well. Jack of all trades master of none, it works very well for CD but its doing nothing to call its own beyond having all these systems in one game.
@Sulleymonster and? Yeah its because a climb anywhere feature would break the game. CD's world is designed around that feature like Zelda is but Yotei's open world isn't made with that in mind.
@Yomv7t Refight bosses, retake strongholds and stuff have existed on plenty of open world games. Hell Ghost of Yotei has all that and retaking camps/strongholds is a bog standard feature in AC and Far Cry. Most of the stuff PA has been adding is just standard base game stuff in other open world games.
@KawakiisaFraud No one was asking for a Norse game with Kratos being a Daddy and looking after his child while trying to contain his anger.
Also drop the western games are failing BS. More Korean games fail per year then western you just don't know as you don't cosplay that hard. This game will be a hit whether you like or not.
@LifeGirl Its pretty clear the Gods only effect the realm/myth they're in. Ares was only the "God Of War" for the Greek part of the world for instance.
The whole each Myth existing on the same planet is hardly a new thing in fiction. DC, Marvel and American Gods all do that. Even Supernatural done it where God as in the biblical God exists in the same universe as the likes of Odin, had a pretty fun episode where they all hilariously thought they had a chance against Lucifer himself.
@themightyant Well the whole point of the Absolute universe is that its a universe created by Darkseid where evil and tyranny are winning. The question asked is can these heroes still be heroes despite them all having a massive change in origins.
Its actually a great series and its a big reason DC is killing it in sales as the Absolute series is very popular.
@PuppetMaster I think we got a X-Men tie in game where you played as Wolverine, Iceman and Nightcrawler. There was also X-Men Destiny or something what was awful. Legends was certainly the last great X-Men game.
@TheArt Don't get me wrong i love the game and i can easily see it being my GOTY but yeah i'm not blind to its many many faults. I love how fast the devs work and i love they are listening to feedback and acting on it but at the same time its hard to glaze them for giving us features that really should have been there from the start. Like people love to s**t on Bethesda and yes they deserve it most of the time but most of the stuff CD has added in updates that people are praising the devs for was in Skyrim on day 1 on PS3 🤷♂️
@Slayer25c The guy behind the game who happily enables these abusers wants to add dating to game for 17+. I think the game should be banned especially as the devs don't give a damn and ban people who try to get the pedo's caught on it.
@Silenos The point is many of the things they have been adding is stuff that should have been there from the start. Didn't even have a storage chest on release.
@KundaliniRising333 Both games had the highest MC scores of their years, got universal acclaim and won endless GOTY awards. I love CD but E33 and BG3 it is not. CD is a jack of all trades game but master of nothing, i love it for that but let's not pretend its taking open world gaming to new levels because it hasn't.
@Nakatomi_Uk I've got a friend who used to let his kid play it. I say used too because once i filled him in on it he quickly banned it. Scary how many parents don't know what they're kids are doing.
Interesting how the UK government blocks porn but is happy to let Roblox exist the best hotspot for Pedo's to meet kids. Its disgusting this "game" is allowed to exist.
@themightyant There's no tearing with V-Sync on provided you don't have it on with VRR as well. I've had zero tearing and trust i would notice it as i hate it to the point it hurts my eyes. Performance is caused by CPU issues there's nothing the devs can do about that, you can't do a battle as large and dynamic as the Chapter 6 battle and expect 60fps on CPU's this weak. GTA VI will no doubt have the same issues.
Its worth noting a lot of the updates have just been fixings and adding QoL features that should have been there from the start. Its great they're acting so fast but this narrative of them putting western devs to shame falls apart when you remember most of the post release support is stuff already in day 1 releases of most "western" games. Like "hide helmet" is a bog standard feature that somehow took weeks to be added.
Its a great game i love it easily a GOTY contender for me and its great the devs listen to feedback and act on it fast but let's not glaze them for simply "finishing" the game post release even if a lot of it is based around player feedback.
@PuppetMaster The leaks revealed they on making an X-Men game. I'm guessing that will be a PS6 game and released after SM3 and Venom (providing that hasn't been cancelled).
@somnambulance Didn't the leaks reveal the last R&C game not sell well? Spider-Man has been selling really well and we know Wolverine will be one of the biggest sellers this year. It makes complete sense that they make Marvel games giving they print money.
My guess is they will stop day 1 releases and then see how it goes in the long run. Games like Hellblade and South of Midnight for instance will still get ported but maybe Gears E-Day won't see PS. I suppose this summer will reveal all with their showcase.
@GeminiX53 Oh it is like today but in winter when its freezing cold not so much. I do it because animals are my no 1 passion and i've earned my place there but yeah some days i do think a more cosy job at a desk wouldn't be so bad. Also giving my role there i don't have the luxury of calling in sick unless its really bad. Pro's outweigh the con's but its hard work on a good day.
@lazarus11 and yet its not the worst version as the Xbox version is the same. In fact technically the SS version is the worst version as it has the crashing plus worse performance issues and downgraded visuals. What that person said is objectively false.
Also funny you call me "angry" giving your attitude about a certain review from PQ. Pot kettle black mate.
The people who moan about crunch should try my job. I work at and help run a farm and it doesn't matter if the weather is bad or its freezing cold i still have to be out in it shoveling s**t and feeding and looking after a lot of animals.
Sorry for the rant its just very annoying seeing cry about something what is common in most jobs. Yeah it sucks you have to work more then you're contracted to do welcome to world of having a job.
Though giving what modders have been saying this might not able to be 100% fixed because Bethesda hit the wall with the last update and its broken the game.

Re: After Critics Panned Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Maybe Sony's Legend of Zelda Film Can Pull It Back
