Are they seriously trying to charge full retail price for two early games from last gen with a couple of touch ups? They must not be very interested in selling any copies!
Pretty sad considering nintendo really had very little to do with the game aside from owning a small part of it. It's a crash fest too. I play for maybe an hour a day and I have to restart it at least 3 times when it freezes or crashes. Bottom line is my vita and PS4 get used daily, and i can't remember the last time I played a game on wiiu.
Glad it's 30 hours, I was a but miffed at the price tag for a traditional JRPG, thinking it would only be 10-15 hours based on the youth of today having such short attention spans.
The game is extremely demanding on PC, i'm surprised they even got it to 30 fps at all on console. Maybe Sony is starting to ask devs to start crippling games so people will have a reason to buy a neo. Highly unlikely, but not impossible.
I consider the game from 2009ish to be the third movie. It had the original cast, a decent plot, and was fun to play/watch. As far as this "reboot" goes, I think it's pretty funny that after 5 years of absolutely terrible franchise reboots, we decide to write it off before it comes out and are considered sexist jerks. I think the movie sucks for the same reason I would think the movie would suck if they had done a reboot with an all male cast consisting of Seth Rogen and his group of stoners; it's just not the right fit for Ghostbusters.
@kyleforrester87 What would you do if you owned a company, and one of your top employees spent millions of dollars on an unfinished project and missed every deadline you gave them for five years? I certainly hope you would fire them.
Yeah, I'll bet he does have free reign, until it's 5 years later, he blows through a ****-ton of sony's money, and misses every single deadline they give him. Sound familiar?
I own it on every damn system from GC to PC, and i think I can finally say I'm done after the PC version. Can't wait for the HD restoration project to be finished!
@blah01 It's been on steam for years,in beta. You can thank your greedy Sony overlords for transporting this garbage. Remember, you don't have to buy it!
I don't really remember the controversy around the fact that you're killing Africans, and i think bringing it up is an attempt to justify lowering the score. And this game for all it's faults is 10x better than Evil Within.
Two things rocksteady and WB severely lack in: the ability to get their games to run properly, and treating their customers like they can't see through their BS.
At this point you're really not allowed to complain anymore. If you own a playstation system, and you've played an open world bethesda game on it, and you STILL bought fallout 4, you set yourself up for failure.
Is this the hip tryhard that called out konami awhile ago and created unneeded drama during an award show? This man is literally the Chris Hardwick of video game hosts: unneeded and trying way too hard to be cool for the kidz.
Wow, really milking the teats dry on this one. I was dumb enough to buy TTK when my friends were "so pumped" to get back into destiny....and we all stopped playing two weeks later. Definitely passing on the MMO genre in general from now on. FPS added doesn't help make it better.
You'd think by looking at cringe inducing games like sunset overdrive and splatoon, they'd know not to create a game like that. If you force me to listen to punk, pretend i'm in a 90's TV commercial, or wear skinny jeans, i'm not playing your game.
The whole KH series is a lesson in how to not keep fans interested. First two games release within 3 years of each other, then 12 years of spinoffs, .5's,.8's, across 7 gaming systems? How the hell did square manage this AND the FF15 debacle at the same time?
Please don't waste our time with a sequel to evil within, that game was horrible. Story was terrible, controls and framerate sucked, and there were set pieces and battles quite literally ripped straight from RE4. It's like someone asked Mikami to make a unique game, and he just took an alpha build of RE4 and had M Night Chimichanga write a quick story while he was stoned.
@rjejr You should probably just buy a PS4 and quit spending months going back and forth like you have been so you can quit asking questions and figure it out for yourself. Obviously the wiiu is dead in the water so you can box that up and make room for a decent console.
@get2sammyb I'm gonna have to call BS on the PC version being poorly optimized. I've played through with several mods and tweaks and have had zero problems for 100+ hours, and the expansion has run just fine on ultra for me and several friends.
You don't "get one shot to make a game" nowadays, you get to release it broken and patch it later. Literally every game studio does this, and i can guarantee that when it launches in august, it will be broken in some way.
No way, a beat em up got low ratings?! It's almost as if the formula went stale! I'm sure everyone will jump to platinum's defense since people have this weird obsession with that other generic beat em up, bayonetta. I just find their games to be repetitive to the point that once you've played an hour of one of them, you've expereinced the extent of what it has to offer. They get boring fast.
Have none of the reviewers ever played TF2? It's the same damn game, just instead of original characters they have copy pasta'd characters from other games. It's not worth $60 if you have a PC capable of running TF2. Sure, everyone is playing it now and singing it's praises, but we all know in 2 weeks it'll be barren. Remember The Division?
@AyeHaley Nintendo hasn't learned anything. They have a guy who ran out of good ideas 20 years ago still helming most major projects. It's a bunch of old japanese men trying to run a games company, and it's going to blow up in their faces when NX bombs.
Should've kept it in the trash and told them to make BFBC3 or 2143. Not interested in steampunk horseback riding and an onvious ripoff of the wolfenstein reboot's alternate history setup.
@themcnoisy It's good konami has the keys. If they would've let kojima keep being himself, he would've bankrupted them with all of his delays, excessive production costs, and missing of deadlines. Everyone seems to blame konami for the fact that kojima has cost them hundreds of millions of dollars over the years that they'll never get back, and sales don't make up for it either.
Because i see kojima as a talented but flawed games creator who's trying to become a b-list hollywood director, i'm often berated for my opinion, but that's what i see out of it.
KH3 would've been done last year if they'd pull their heads out of their butts, stick with an engine, and finish it. Instead, they seem content trying to milk every last drop out of making remixes and remasters before they release 3. Not only was i not expecting it this year, i wouldn't be surprised if they delayed it until PS5 is out so they can ride the remaster train again.
@Gamer83 I think you're giving them too much credit by even calling them gamers if they place journey at #1, as to me it doesn't even qualify as one. A unique experience, i'll give it that. But a game? Nope.
Tried overwatch beta enough to know that i don't need it this summer. It needs a LOT of balancing. I can wait until fall or winter and pick it up at a discount.
Wow, hey, great job ND. Clearly the game didn't need to be pushed back if every retailer already has their copies. If they learn anything from this experience, i hope it's how to properly make a game without delaying it 4 times.
The whole beta felt like a borderlands rip off. From character quips and voices to UI elements. I'm ok with borderlands with friends, but i'll just stick to the handsome collection and skip this moba...thing or whatever it is.
