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@WallyWest Let me correct you there, an OUTDATED engine.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.
@TeapotBuddha Oh hun, in my eyes, they're a bunch of liars that were overrated to begin with. I get what you're saying, but if the latest reports are anything to go by, Cyberpunk has a skeleton crew running it, hence the "delay". Trust me, the game is dead and they abandoned it a long time ago.
@TeapotBuddha It's still broken and buggy on last gen consoles, and it's been almost A YEAR since launch. And they did move on and abandon it, the delay should tell you this. Why waste time when they got their money?
Wait... wait, wait, wait... Do people still think they'll "fix" the game or deliver what was promised? After every single conceivable lie from CDPR, there are still people who support this pre-alpha demo? Move on people, there are more decent studios that deserve your money.
I think the dev team has bitten off more than they can chew. That, or there is something wrong behind the scenes. There is no reason for this to wait until 2023 imo.
Took 'em long enough 🙄 This feels like Cyberpunk, but I hope I'm wrong. Digimon deserves a win, especially after the lukewarm reception of the reboot.
Looks better than I expected, but $59.99? They're probably trying to ride the nostalgia wave, and I hope it doesn't work. It's not like they are some RPG masterpieces that are a must. Hard pass.
@Rambolike Hun, I get that some people like that type of "storytelling". But in a world where games are transcending movies, FromSoft needs a major overhaul asap. Yeah, it was original for it's time (Demon Souls, Dark Souls etc.), but this is 2021. And please, stop with the It'S HOw ThEy WoRk!1'1 cr*p. Why do you think people hate Ubisoft open world games? Or Call Of Duty? When something gets stale, change the formula and innovate.
@figboot Glad more people finally realize that sometimes, more innovation is required. Imagine a FromSoft game with Sekiro like combat BUT add in a strong narrative story with actual characters that speak and have a personality.
@KundaliniRising333 Preach. Graphics aren't everything and as an avid player of AA games, I think I'm qualified to say that. However, after finally caving in, I got myself a copy of Bloodborne and I kinda regret it now. It's NOT A BAD GAME but seeing the overwhelming praise just proves how the internet hivemind is biased. Nobody and I mean NOBODY talks about that horrible FromSoft jankiness that shouldn't be present in a AAA game. Don't forget the clunky combat and controls, LONG loading screens, non existent story, horrible character models, pretentious lore etc etc. No matter how much I try, I can't fathom why the internet hivemind is so excited about a Dark Souls 3 reskin.
I apologize if I come off as toxic, but this is literally the nicest review of the game so far! Other independent reviewers claim it's broken, unfinished, unbalanced, and generally is poor compared to the Left 4 Dead games. And yeah, the card system and the lack of solo progression are big no-nos for me. World War Z Aftermath trumps this, and that one doesn't have microtransactions. Solo progression is available and it runs buttery smooth on the PS5/XSX systems.
Sounds alright I guess, but it all comes down to the price. 40-50$ sounds reasonable, 60 or 70 is literally DOA. Imo, GTA has been MILKED TO DEATH and since GTA V is dirt cheap these days, I see no reason why anyone would pay 60 bucks for this trilogy, let alone the rumoured 70!
Meanwhile, Bioware released ME:LE for 60USD, and they actually did a lot of work on that one, especially on the first game. Knowing Rockstar, this will be a lazy port with upscaled resolutions and maybe a couple of control tweaks.
@Richnj Ah, the "beauty" of capitalism. Why have $5bn when you can have $100bn? At least the impressions are overall very positive, with criticism directed towards performance issues and bugginess. Hopefully, DICE can polish the thing before launch.
@wiiware Fair point! But if we go back to HFW, they wanted to charge a hefty price for basically faster loading and 60fps support. I don't hate Sony but let's stop making excuses for them. I'll say this for a millionth time, companies are not our friends!
I tried the demo and I found the combat to be trash. Felt like a knock off DMC with bad "souls" mechanics. Shame that this sold better than the Surge 2, a far superior game.
@Stragen8 It could be a soft reboot. CD said that they plan to bridge the originals and the reboot trilogy, whatever that means. And yeah, a new game is years away. They barely started work on it so...
Never played the original, but I am keeping my eye on this one! As for the presentation itself, I'm going to risk being torn to shreds to say that I enjoyed it more than Sony's. Have mercy guys lol!
Cautiously optimistic about KOTOR, and GoW Ragnarok looks incredible! Forspoken could be a surprise hit, and Insomniac... Well it's Insomniac 🙌 But I've made my decision and I'm getting the Series X as soon as I can find one for a normal price -_-
@somnambulance That's what I said but people told me I was crazy! It took waay too long for Dontnod to release all episodes and gamers usually don't have that much patience lol. I think the sales suffered too.
@somnambulance An excellent summary indeed! May I ask, which ending did you get? Mine was all about Daniel unleashing his telekinetic fury to clear the way for Mexico. It felt like a DC scene lol xP As for True Colors, with many reviews saying it's great, I've decided to buy it as soon as possible, probably in a couple of days.
@somnambulance It had an amazing story, but the pacing was all over the place and I think people hated not being able to control the power. I kinda regret my previous comment about True Colors lol. Other review sites are giving the game glowing reviews so....
I'll say it again, Dontnod should've developed/written this one instead of Deck Nine. I know that LiS 2 gets a lot of flak, but I truly enjoyed it and it tugged my heartstrings, especially the ending. Before The Storm was just, and I mean JUST okay. As much as it pains me to say, this one seems like a wait for a deep sale
Yeah, I'm not pre ordering anything for the foreseeable future. Also, are people aware that Sony doesn't allow you to pay for the PS5 upgrade? They locked it behind the Deluxe edition.

Re: RPG ELEX II Dated for 1st March 2022 on PS5, PS4

Re: Elden Ring Will Have Performance and Quality Modes on PS5, According to GameStop

Re: Elden Ring Will Have Performance and Quality Modes on PS5, According to GameStop
@JJ2 Indeed... Best thing is to wait for the actual game to come out. Hope they pull it off.
But I do hope they change/update their engine.
Re: Elden Ring Will Have Performance and Quality Modes on PS5, According to GameStop
@WallyWest So basically, they should change their engine and polish their games more?
God I hope they do.
Re: Elden Ring Will Have Performance and Quality Modes on PS5, According to GameStop
