Ghost of Tsushima perfectly incorporated linear narrative design into it's open world, but I'm really excited to see how Sucker Punch tackle more free-form world design.
About what I expected. This movie always looked like shlock. The game was shlock too, and I mean that as a compliment. I'm still looking forward to seeing it.
No. This game never interested me at all. Maybe it would have if it was third-person, but unless they commit to that down the line, I'll stick with Uncharted.
@naruball It's somewhere between Dark Souls and Bloodborne in terms of speed. But if you want a more action oriented souls-like, I'd recommend AI Limit.
I remember first this game back when games like Black Myth Wukong and Phantom Blade Zero were released and everyone thought they looked so good they had to be fake. Crazy to think we're on the other side of that discussion now.
This remake project is weird for me; it's not at all what I wanted from an FF7 remake, but it's also everything I wanted from an FF7 remake. It has replaced the original for me, but the experience is something I just love and appreciate too much. That was a too complicated way of saying, I love FF7 Remake, I love it even more now that Rebirth is out, and when the trilogy is complete, I'm sure I'll still cherish the experience just as much as the original.
The difference is that while Sony initially failed with the PS3 and eventually turned it around, Microsoft failed with the Xbox One and never truly recovered, Nintendo will get away with it Scott free, no one will meaningfully criticize them, and the game industry will be all the worse for it.
I haven't started it yet. I was going to start last week, but my copy arrived a day too late and I started playing AI Limit instead. I'll start as soon as I finish that.
For a game that sets out to make you build a connection with your weapon, it at least makes sense on paper. Whether or not it works in practice, we'll have to wait and see.
All I see with the Switch 2 is Nintendo completing their transition to a full blown AAA company, and I don't mean that as a compliment. The difference is everyone in games media is too scared to really call them out for it.
If the Switch felt like a console born out of inspiration, the Switch 2 feels like a console born out of obligation. It exists so Nintendo can keep up with the rest of the industry, which isn't a bad thing, but it hardly gives me anything to get excited about right now. I'm sure in a couple years it'll be pretty impressive, and that's when I might start caring about it.
This was the only thing that really caught my eye from the show. Knowing that it's multi-player focused means it's a no-buy from me. Pretty subpar showing from Nintendo.
I've been hooked on AI Limit since it came out. So far it's some of the most fun I've had with a Souls-like in quite a while. The controls feel great, it strikes a good balance between punishing and rewarding, and the whole thing feels very finely tuned. It might not be as polished as some of the biggest games in the genre, but it's pretty damn impressive from a first time developer.
One of the best to ever do it. I don't even think ot needs a sequel, just give us a more future-proof version and let it remain the classic that it is.
Looks like I'm sticking with AI Limit. I don't respect it to review any better, but i played both demos and that's the one that clicked with me.
Edit: Also, it feels having to even mention this, but saying 'you're wrong because someone else says it's good' isn't the sick burn you think it is. Everyone has their own opinion, and if different viewpoints bother, that's your problem.
Not yet. I'm glad the game turned out well, but this was always going to be, at best, a warm-up for Ghost of Yotei. I'm still more interested in this than pretty much any other AC game, but it's still a back burner game for me at the end of the day.
At that point they might as well just stick with publishing. I'm pretty sure Microsoft dug this hole for Xbox themselves by constantly muddling their own vision for it.
