@lolwhatno It's Mother from Othercide, a tactical RPG that was released in 2020. As for why, I guess I love lesser known games that have a unique appeal. Push Square reviewed it so you can always find out more about it.
To be fair, SotC was a 6/10 at it's best. Praey For The Gods has a somewhat "interesting" appeal, but it's definitely a game that will suit a very niche audience that is probably nostalgic for those "janky" PS2 days. I don't see a single average gamer that would enjoy this.
Guurl, some of you are really kinky lmfao! Jokes aside, we shouldn't judge people for searching/watching porn based on video characters, and like Kyle said, porn is poison incarnate.
Knowing Ubisoft, I can guarantee that this will be a lazy cash grab. Expect a bloated, boring open world with subpar characters and a subpar story. The only thing decent about AC these days is the combat, and the exploration can be a bit fun at the start of the game. Don't give your money to Ubisoft!
@get2sammyb "Are there narrative choices that could influence the ending? Will we be able to equip Aegis with armor?" Might seem a bit generic lol, but I do hope for an answer.
I actually posted a question about the game on their Twitter account (for their upcoming ama) and I hope they answer mine lol! Don't sleep on Spiders guys!
Evil West finally has a gameplay trailer and boy it looks incredible! A spiritual sequel to Darkwatch for sure. As for the rest of the announcements, I'm most excited about Plague Tale Requiem, Space Marine 2, Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad and of course, Star Wars Eclipse. God I'm dying for a new Quantic Dream game..
@Jaz007 I'm sick of Sony investing more into PC ports instead of unlocking framerates for their PS4 titles. Just remember how long it took for HZD to get a 60fps patch And that's just the tip of the ice berg. God I miss Shawn Layden. Good 'ol Jimmy is running Playstation into the ground, and I called it out, I was shaded by corporate shills.
@Medic_Alert I'm going to switch to a Series S (Series X is ONLY available for scalper prices until further notice). I'm so sick of Sony's anti-consumer practices and their whole "It'S CoMinG tO Pc!1!1!" thing. My PS4 will still be able to run GoW Ragnarok and HFW, so I'm not going to miss out. Can't wait for Starfield!
@ThorsHammer I actually played the first episode a couple of months ago, and so far it's an 8.5/10 for me! Fantastic voice acting and I love the mystery so far! How would you rate it?
Oh look, scummy Take 2 is trying to divert attention from that GTA D.E dumpster fire -_- Imagine going after a small studio because of one word!!? Hope EA can back up Hazelight. I'm never touching a Rockstar product ever again.
@Northern_munkey Even before the whole Cyberpunk hype train, I remember scratching my head whenever I saw people calling TW3 as the "best RPG ever". It's not a bad game, but as a game it's not good either. If a story completely carries a game, then you have a big problem. Maybe I'm just a picky weirdo, but I enjoyed a super janky RPG Bound By Flame, more than a supposed AAA game from CDPR.
I know I'm the "dedicated" CDPR "hater" on Push Square (and I apologize for that), but seriously, why is the Witcher 3 regarded as the ULTIMATE RPG EXPERIENCE, when it's partly an RPG. The gameplay and combat are DREADFUL to say the least, although I loved the story and the overall world. To summarize, I've seen some super janky games that have more enjoyable combat than this.
LMFAO! Is that guy serious? Is he aware that the game CAN'T be "saved" without re-doing it from scratch? The basic code of that demo simply doesn't support adding anything beyond some story missions and cosmetics. Again, literally, they would have to develop a brand new game to fulfill their FAKE promises. But guys, keep on giving them "chances" and your hard-earned money, especially in this pandemic. P.S The game is literally a year old, and they haven't done A SINGLE THING with it! Other than some occasional bug fixes of course. Ironic that it's still buggy and busted as hell. Oh lord, CDPR just go home, you're drunk af.
Decent game, but compared to Resi 7, it's definitely a big let down. The fact that they toned down the horror (in a zombie game) just adds up to the list. Story was subpar and I didn't feel any connection to any of the characters. I would rate it as a 7/10. Resi 7 however, is a strong 8.5/10. (enemy variety was a major issue for me).
I'm just going to say this, Steve Rogers is fineeee lol ☠️😓 PS chose mighty fine thumbnail lmao! As for the micros, it's definitely nuts but other games do it too, and as long as the game offers free updates, I'll let it slide. Doesn't make it any good though...
Oh boy, a busy weekend for me. Currently replaying Tomb Raider (2013), and later I'll jump into Necromunda: Hired Gun. Fantastic shooter, and the Mastiff is super cute. Sunday however, I reserved some time for Digimon Next: World Order 😎
Nasty company with a nasty environment! And to think that people STILL buy COD or have plans to buy future games from them. Maybe, just maybe I can understand super casual gamers that are out of the loop, but it's the hardcore crowd that makes me sick. I love how their defense is "We ShOuldN't PunIsh ThE DeVs duuurrr!1!!1" Why I do even bother...
Even though I didn't play it, I would vote for It Takes Two. Maybe it's time for a AA game to win. Returnal should've been on the list, but don't worry guys! Cyberpunk 2077 is there 🤢🤢🤢 What a joke!
@kyleforrester87 At it's BEST, it's a 4 or 5 out of 10. The fact that they didn't bother to update the walking animations, or apply any additional polish, speaks volumes about Take Two and Rockstar. Bioware released a polished, high quality remaster, and they went above and beyond with fixes, and they even worked closely with modders. You know, I could let this slide, but the fact that this utter garbage will sell more than ME:LE hurts my heart deeply.
@KilloWertz Lol! It's not a roguelike game per se, but yeah, you do start from the beginning. However, you get shards that you can use to make your next "dream" easier. More health for your Daughters, and you can even skip a boss! I do recommend you play on Dream mode. Nightmare is literally unforgivable and could cause a broken controller lmao!
@Juanalf They don't care and they will continue to do it as long as people give them money. There's literally no incentive for them to change, so why start now? Even though I'm 26, I'm glad I outgrew GTA.
I despise review bombing as a practice in general, and everytime I hear about it, my eyes roll to the back of my head 🙄 BUT, comparing the technical masterpiece of Last Of Us 2 and ...... this piece of garbage? I sound like a broken record but why are people shocked? Rockstar hasn't cared in a LOOONG time, and they know that the rabid internet hivemind will buy GTA no matter what. We should be vocal, and we should stop AAA companies getting away with broken releases. Review bombing is toxic, but... sigh, maybe it does "send" a message.
@KilloWertz You're gonna love it! And thanks for asking about my avatar lol. Check out Othercide. It's a tactical RPG, and the character in question is Mother.
@Northern_munkey Thank you! My teeth are usually excellent, but from time to time, I do get a bad cavity lol. Last one I got was five years ago xD As for Necromunda, I saw some gameplay and my trusted reviewers praised it to high heaven. Was kinda disappointed with Push Square's review. Yes, it was a bit broken at launch, but a 3 out of 10??
@KilloWertz Beyond Two Souls is criminally underrated! That game destroyed me emotionally, especially one scene where Jodie meets a certain person. Do yourself a favour and play it!
I have a horrible toothache at the moment, so I don't think I'll play anything today :/ However, I do plan to splurge on Monday and buy four or five games (Necromunda: Hired Gun and DBZ Kakarot for example). Happy weekend everyone!
The "Difinitiv" post had me dead lol! A trainwreck that keeps on wrecking. Rockstar should be ashamed for releasing a garbage remaster in such a state. I do hope people get refunds.
I deleted the game after the whole XP booster fiasco but dear god, I'm so tempted to re-download, just to try out Spiderman lol. Am I a hypocrite? Yes... Yes I am.
Oh Rockstar, how low you've fallen. But back to milking that GTA V cow, right? I do hope people don't throw away their money at this cheap and lazy cash grab.
I still need to play the first one, but I do hope they improved the combat at least. The original had the worst system I've ever seen lol. Follow Greedfall's example. Simplistic but functional and quite enjoyable when there's a boss fight
@FullMetalWesker For a billion dollar company, they could've AT LEAST polished the animations more, considering the asking price of this "remaster". It's p*ss poor but not surprising, considering Rockstar and GTA in general.
Either I'm getting super old, or they look really rough. No wonder they didn't share any gameplay, the whole thing looks janky as hell. And to have an audacity to ask 60$ for this lmaoo?
@Milt I'm not surprised at all. People simply don't care. But imagine giving money to such a vile, nasty and disgusting company that ruined so many lives. How are they even in business, god only knows.
@WallyWest Fair argument lol. Like I previosly said, it's best we wait and see. My only concern is how the PS4 version will run. Bloodborne runs like cr*p, Elden Ring might open a black hole lmao.
@JJ2 I meant, why should next gen players choose between RT 30 fps and 4K 60 fps in a cross gen game? 4K 60 with RT should be standard for a game that will release on old consoles. Don't take this as "hate", I'm just criticizing FromSoft in a respectful way.
@WallyWest Let me correct you there, an OUTDATED engine. Not a hater, just stating facts. I do think it looks nice, but nowhere near demanding as other titles, yet both PS5 and XSX have to "compromise".
Not to be a negative Nancy, but the game is cross gen title, yet players are supposed to choose between fidelity or performance? It's unfair to compare Insomniac with FromSoft, but looking at Spiderman and Ratchet, both offer RT plus 60 fps and LOOK better.
