For-Kier

I am looking forward to jumping back in from years off to see if this is a game you don't have to give your life for to play...

With how hard Capcom has balled lately, think I might pick up Dragon's Dogma II now.

@SMJ so basically the best the site has ever been.

@nessisonett because the people adapting IPs aren’t creative or talented enough to write original content so they think if they just use a successful name and change everything about it that it will make them successful.

@Futureshark the animation style definitely helps carry it because it is done extremely well. The soundtrack slaps too.

The first season was ok. They did the same thing ever my Hollywood studio is doing. Taking a male IP and trying to trade a female protagonist. So Dante only gets maybe half the screen time for the girl boss who isn’t a terrible character, but isn’t a strong one either. This looks like it might shift the focus back to Dante which is the only reason fans are actually showing up. Some of the writing looks to be just as corny as season one though. It’s still a fun show to watch. Just don’t expect it to feel like the games if you’re a massive fan of those.

Sounds like confirmation he hated the LOUP2 as much as well all did too.

Yeah, Xbox didn't lower the price because they just decided to love their community, lol. They lowered the price because no one was going to pay that when most of their Day 1 first party games are mid to begin with. This is a move of defeat. I feel like PS doesn't have a ton of room to increase anymore themselves. It's not that just PS or Xbox went up, it's that EVERY streaming service is on the rise. So people are going to start deciding what they plan to keep because the price increases add up if you're using multiple services at a time.

I had no interest in Monster Hunter Stories, but seeing how much everything else they have done recently has banged, I think I might give it a shot and then hope Onimusha has a hoe's mode when it launches so I can play that too.

Damn. I guess Control needs to bump to the top of the current list then, lol.

I don't see this hitting. Elden Ring is a game thats best feature is actually playing it, not watching it.

I would like to see them start at 1 and just go right down the line.

@TheArt I would. And sure it is. Pointless can be defined, lol. And trophy hunting or thinking you get something out of a sports team winning more than simple enjoyment are equally pointless. So whether you enjoy hard platinums, or shovelware, they are equally pointless and to suggest one is better than the other, which is what most people here are doing, still make both pointless. And just because people do a lot of pointless things don’t make them any less pointless.

@Kienda brother the hard ones don’t mean anything either…

I never played the original Black Flag. Happened during a long hiatus from gaming in general. So I am eager to give it a first time go.

I literally thought it was him for a while when I first played it.

So it’ll be a 4 hour movie with 10 lines of dialogue then?

I know I’m out of touch with this style of game because I didn’t understand half the words in this article, lol.

I already own HZD remastered so if you don’t I’d say this is a nice month for you personally. Forza is infinitely ether than Motorsport so I wouldn’t even bother with that. Football Club is a throw away. Lame month for me personally.

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr probably just the few left playing Marathon…

@Rich33 I like how you use the word “some” to represent 5 million people, lol.

Finishing some trophies in Ninja Gaiden 4 and then moving on to Pragmata.

Yotei winning anything is wild. That was the most mediocre game of the big games that year across the board.

This game went from day 1 to sale after seeing more gameplay videos. I was hoping for more actual James Bond and less John Wick.

For $70?!? Yeah hard pass on that. Seems like it should be priced at $20. The actual game didn’t even cost that much.

@Balaam_ or Sony on their last conference call with Bungie...

The idea of this seems really cool. That's a pretty low score though. Maybe this will come to PS+ at some point or a deep sale and I could see trying it depending on how others review it again.

@Globo bruh they have to put warnings on tide pods not to eat them...

Oddly enough this was the reason I got into the game when it first launched and I never ended up even trying the battle royal side, lol.

Still on the fence about this game and not building any hype for it until it launches. It's free and easy to try out so nothing will be lost if it doesn't live up.

This is still on my list if I only had more time to play games and noting else. Someday.

@Attheendwearrive source: trust me bro.

@Divergent95 it's not as though Croft is a deep character, lol. You probably don't need much more talent than what's on your chest to play her well. And Sophie does not play that part well.

This is up there in miscasts for video game characters. And it's not like she is a particularly good actress either. I sense this will flop and we all know who they will blame.

How about just don't make the main character look like a mangled big toe, lol. Cinematics aren't going to matter if all your characters are ugly.

I don’t think people here read the word rumor, lol. The SoP rumor just found out to be false like one article up.

@Kienda without knowing how much the game cost to make you can’t say the expectations were too high. It seems likely it cost more than $50 million to make this game so it seems like at best it probably broke even. Tell us you’re ok investing your own money in something just to break even. It’s always easier to tell someone else how to spend their money even if it’s a large corporation.

It doesn't help they released this after Crimson Desert, a game everyone is far more interested in getting lost in. You also have Pragmata which has reviewed well and only $60 this week. Saros coming soon. RE9 was only a month previous. No one is playing Marathon so that wouldn't have impacted it. But there is just far better games to be playing from this year that this game gets very lost even though it's also not great regardless. Doesn't surprise me PS fans don't care to jump on it.

@dskatter this seems like overkill even for a nerd...

I am honestly just thinking about jumping right into Hades II never having played the first game because I have no real desire to play through the first game first.

@Northern_munkey this game didn't come from an Eastern developer so you can't criticize it no matter what.

@Dragon83 Seeing the lack of continued sales and long term interest in Yotie, I am surprised Sony is trying this move again with GoW.

@trev666 you can't and they will learnt that same lesson every other company does when trying to use an IP name without what or who makes the IP great...

Seems like it will go about as well as ever other IP that builds it's entire identity around one iconic character and the tries to switch you to a totally different character hoping the name will drive the interest... At least we know who will be to blame for no one wanting to play a "GoW" game as his late partner.

For whatever reason this game just never appealed to me. Maybe because it's another 100 hour open world game, but it never seemed to have much of a hook and I don't feel like anyone ever really talked much about it. Seems like you're better off just playing Crimson Desert.

They won’t stop moving consoles. The average person isn’t all of a sudden going to become finically aware. Their credit card bill will just include a $600 charge instead of a $400 charge now, lol.

According to critics I should be hating myself playing the 9/10 Marathon and not enjoying myself playing the 6/10 Crimson Desert.

I feel like it's both. It clearly is a finished game given how many people are actually playing it, lol. But it does need love. And it's getting it. So if that bothers you, wait for it to be "finished" — whatever that means to you. I think a lot of people who are angry really want to join everyone else but because of some self imposed moral stance about waiting until it's all buttoned up, they really are just jealous they aren't playing it right now.
