I guess I would give it a 5. I'm not a fan of extraction shooters and these days I avoid multiplayer only games like the plague, they are just not interesting to me.
If I buy this at some point down the line, I'm 100% buying it for the single player campaign. I've never really been a fan of the multiplayer in BF even if Bad Company had a decent multiplayer component.
I'll probably buy it next year after I have made a proper gaming setup in my new apartment but I look forward to the new one.
I am proud of how my one and only playthrough of the last game ended with me taking the platinum, without using any guide. Probably why it took me 4 weeks or so to beat the game.
@Tr3mm0r It's been compared to something akin to Devil May Cry/modern Ninja Gaiden and based on the gameplay, that's exactly what they are trying to make. But supposedly it has a bonfire-style checkpoint system but instead of it reviving dead enemies, any slain enemies will stay dead.
Yeah...game still looks all floaty and flashy, no substance. And based on some semi-recent interview with the devs, it sounds like that's by design. Either way, looks extremely boring to me, like there's no oomph for anything the player character does and it doesn't even look like there's any hit feedback.
Hmm. Somehow this game looks even more questionable than when they showcased that one boss fight earlier this year. Like, all "style" and no real substance from any of the fights, and what's with the random fade to black 19 seconds into the trailer, in the combat encounter that had just started?
As long as the single player campaigns are still good, I don't care what modern CoD's multiplayer modes do. I tend to stick to MW2(the one on X360) and Black Ops 2 for splitscreen multiplayer whenever I have people over.
All that said though, I haven't played any of games released after Cold War so I have no way of knowing if the more recent campaigns are still good.
This feels like bait to draw in clicks. Like, anyone who follows either one of them on Twitter knows that this has been known since last year. I swear, western media these days...
I'll be skipping this based on what I've heard, namely that, apart from the visuals, it's basically the same ***** 20 year old game with the same problems.
A complete remake would have been so much better in my opinion as I never liked Oblivion to begin with. Then again...I don't even like Skyrim.
I guess they did release it on PS3 eventually but for me, it will always be associated with the PSP. Either way, it was a pretty good game but not as good as Tekken 6 or Tag Tournament 2.
I'll just stick to the Xbox 360 version of Tekken 6, never was a huge fan of Tekken 7 and I never got around to bothering with Tekken 8 due to its abnormally high price-tag at launch.
Decent game but it's far from From's best game in my opinion(I'd put it above...Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 but below Armored Core VI, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3 and...Metal Wolf Chaos XD) but I still would love to see it at least be remastered and released on Steam and PS5 so that it gets out of "Stuck on PS4" jail.
I will probably not play Wilds at all. Game just looks meh to me. Kinda wish we had gotten a sequel to Rise instead because that one was amazing on Switch.
I didn't even know there was a State of Play thingy or whatever and looking at what was shown, the only comment I even have is basically "Oh...uhh...ok...why?".
It will most likely be 30 fps on current-gen consoles and that will be fine.
Especially since it's an open-world game that will probably be even more complex than Red Dead Redemption II is.
I could see a potential 1080p 60 FPS mode being added later on though and that would also be fine.
Either way, it's not really shocking "news" that current-gen versions are most likely going to be targeting 30 FPS.
Looks kinda cool but also looks way too much like style over substance for my tastes.
Hopefully they lean into the deflect mechanic more.
But also, there really needs to be more audio-visual feedback from the player character's weapons hitting their targets.
The second phase of the fight looked like it could have potential in terms of challenge though.
They just need to actually make it feel like an actual threat to the player.
I draw my line for game purchases at $63. No game will ever be worth more than that, no matter what and when games do go above, I will wait until they get discounted, FOMO is not an issue. The sweet spot for me tho is and has always been $54.
Still one of the worst Ubisoft games I've ever played, I really don't see a point in remaking it when the first Assassin's Creed game could benefit even more from a remake.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is in first place obviously. Trails through Daybreak is in second place. Granblue Fantasy Relink is in third place. Rise of the Ronin is in fourth place. Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is in fifth place.
I mean...they already confirmed a long time ago that these kinds of collabs would be paid so I don't really get why it needs to be reported on, again. 🤷♂️
@LowDefAl Allow me to clarify a bit: It looks unnecessary...to me. I at least never felt like it was a game that could benefit from being remastered. Not in a world where Killzone 2 deserves the remaster treatment way more than this game.
I know, I know. I'm very much not the target audience for this one but still.
Looks like I'll keep my base PS5 for the forseeable future. I really see no reason for me to upgrade. Most of those upgrades just sound unnecessary for my needs.
Honestly? A PS5 Pro just feels like over-kill in my opinion. I'm satisfied with the base PS5 and see no reason why I would waste money on upgrading to a more powerful version while mine still works as intended.
Didn't watch it(I never watch these things anymore, stopped bothering after E3 2013) so I can't really vote on the quality of the thing but looking at the announcements coming out of Gamescom, it honestly feels like there wasn't any show or such in the first place.
Like, none of the new announcements felt neither exciting nor like they were of interest to me. 🤷♂️

Nothing else comes even close to it.
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
Oh yeah.
I gotta buy this one at some point.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give ARC Raiders?
I guess I would give it a 5.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger, obviously.
Re: Forgotten PS5, PC Game Lost Soul Aside Still Being Patched and Optimised
I would simply urge people to play Stellar Blade instead of this thing.

Huh.
Can't say I saw that coming.
Anyway, back to business as usual.
Re: Review in Progress: Battlefield 6 (PS5) - You Won't Be Buying This One for the Campaign

Re: Silent Hill 2's Overdue PS5 Pro Fixes Now in Konami's Hands
It's almost as if the PS5 Pro was a bad idea that got executed poorly.
Re: PS5's Incredibly Promising Phantom Blade Zero Sounds Absolutely Brutal on Its Hardest Difficulty
Pretty sad to hear that you'll start at phase 2 if you get to it and then lose.
Re: Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection (PS5) - A True Look at What Could Possibly Go Wrong
At least the first game has a pretty decent soundtrack.

Re: 'Increasingly Selective Consumers' to Blame for Underperformance of Blades of Fire
I tried the demo for maybe an hour before I got tired of its jankiness and uninstalled it.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (June 2025)
Definitely Raidou Remastered.
Re: What the Hell Has Happened to Call of Duty?
As long as the single player campaigns are still good, I don't care what modern CoD's multiplayer modes do.
I tend to stick to MW2(the one on X360) and Black Ops 2 for splitscreen multiplayer whenever I have people over.
All that said though, I haven't played any of games released after Cold War so I have no way of knowing if the more recent campaigns are still good.
Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger Disappointment as 30FPS Cap Is Confirmed on Consoles
As long as it's a locked 30 fps stuff should be fine.
Like, a 60 fps toggle would have been cool to have but it being 30 fps is honestly fine.
Re: Nioh 3 Announced for PS5, Demo Out Now for Two Weeks
Here's hoping they have learned to drastically cut down on all the loot this time but I'm skeptical.
Either way, I'm feeling very meh about this.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2025?
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk alone makes this month pretty great, amazing game with an amazing soundtrack.
The other games pale in comparison.

Playstation Stars?

Re: Days Gone Remastered PS5 Amplifies the Horror Compared to Its PS4 Predecessor
So...what?
1440p at 60 fps on base PS5?
That's great news.
Re: Hands On: Oblivion Remastered Is Still Oblivion in All Its Glory, Crap Frame Rate Aside
I'll be skipping this based on what I've heard, namely that, apart from the visuals, it's basically the same ***** 20 year old game with the same problems.

Re: The State of Tekken Is So Bad That Players Are Hyping Up a Mod That Undoes Tekken 8
@IntrepidWombat
Dark Resurrection was on PSP though?
I guess they did release it on PS3 eventually but for me, it will always be associated with the PSP.
Either way, it was a pretty good game but not as good as Tekken 6 or Tag Tournament 2.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (March 2025)
Atelier Yumia and The First Berserker: Khazan.
Oh and maybe Atomfall.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Bloodborne, 10 Years Later?
Decent game but it's far from From's best game in my opinion(I'd put it above...Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 but below Armored Core VI, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3 and...Metal Wolf Chaos XD) but I still would love to see it at least be remastered and released on Steam and PS5 so that it gets out of "Stuck on PS4" jail.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for March and April 2025
Not a lot of interesting stuff releasing for a while but I will definitely buy The First Berserker: Khazan and most likely the new Fatal Fury game.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Monster Hunter Wilds?
I will probably not play Wilds at all.

Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4
Oh wow, Gamestop?
That's a name I haven't heard ever since they pulled out of Sweden five years ago.
Thought they had closed down in the US too.
Re: Game of the Month: Vote for Your Favourite PS5 Game of January 2025
Definitely Tales of Graces f Remastered, Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Freedom Wars Remastered.
Re: Former Rockstar Animator Doubtful GTA 6 Will Run at 60fps on PS5

Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 RPG of 2024
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is in first place obviously.

Re: Slitterhead (PS5) - Inventive Horror Is Essential for Japan Studio Fans
Here's hoping the game actually releases over here in Sweden on the 15th.
I would hate to have to import the game, it would cost more than I'd be comfortable with.
Also, looks like Sweden might not get an Xbox version at all which would suck even more. 😕
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered PS5 Is Official, Out 31st October with $10 PS4 to PS5 Upgrade
@LowDefAl
Allow me to clarify a bit:
It looks unnecessary...to me.
I at least never felt like it was a game that could benefit from being remastered.
Not in a world where Killzone 2 deserves the remaster treatment way more than this game.
I know, I know.
I'm very much not the target audience for this one but still.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered PS5 Is Official, Out 31st October with $10 PS4 to PS5 Upgrade
Oh wow.
This looks...unnecessary as hell.
🤣
Re: Superb Strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord Tops 1 Million Sales
Oh wow.
I had honestly forgotten that this game existed.
😅
It feels like it released, got some coverage, and then most people just moved on and forgot about it.
At least in the circles I move in.
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
Looks like I'll keep my base PS5 for the forseeable future.
I really see no reason for me to upgrade.
Most of those upgrades just sound unnecessary for my needs.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?
Started playing it today and so far it's pretty great if a bit over-whelming at times.
Re: PS5 Pro Seemingly Teased in New 30th Anniversary Artwork
Honestly?
A PS5 Pro just feels like over-kill in my opinion.
I'm satisfied with the base PS5 and see no reason why I would waste money on upgrading to a more powerful version while mine still works as intended.
Re: Dave the Diver Joins Forces with Mxmtoon, Balatro, and Potion Craft in October

Re: 'Rebuilt' Until Dawn Comes to Haunt PS5, PC This October
Wait, this game's getting a remake?
But why?
I mean, sure, it was a fun experience back in 2015 but really feels like this is not needed.
Especially not in a post-The Quarry world.
