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.
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.
@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.
@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.
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.
@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.
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.
@AnginaPectoris I know this is in jest but being bullied by the internet or the left and changing is still far weaker than being bullied by your actual government, lol.
@RockyOfficial spoken like someone who has probably lived in a free country their entire life and would have no idea what it would actually take to stand up to a repressive country, lol. You sound tough for the internet though.
@madmaxrules how the hell is PS in trouble on the first party front? They’ve had a string of poor live service endeavors, but the PS ecosystem is still as strong as ever.
I don’t think Sony or the fans care that much. No one is buying an Xbox for any of their games. Outside of Forza, I can’t say anything Xbox coming to PS has even mattered. Sure, we will buy the games if they come. But no one is falling all over themselves to do it. Fable won’t do numbers. Bethesda is a shell of itself. COD will always be multi platform — especially with its dwindling numbers. Xbox has no leverage.
I was on the fence with this game until the demo. The combat was fluid and fun so I knew that even if the story was weak or the game was shorter than usual that the combat would be worth picking it up for regardless.
@Stocksy So don't. No one is forcing anyone to work at any of these companies or keeping you hostage if you start working for one of them. Start your own company or move to a new one if you don't think the culture is good enough. People do it every day. People wait in line for a long time to work at companies like Naughty Dog.
But yet everyone wants to blast AI right off the bat which will actually help with crunch, lol. You can tell who has never worked in an actual industry because they think AI is just taking jobs that would otherwise go to real people. False. Most companies will just make the real people already employed work longer and harder. They won't create new job listings.
To be honest I don’t think Sony fans have much anticipation for this game anyways. If it’s not named Forza, who cares about anything Xbox coming to PlayStation really. Halo Campaign Evolved is the only other Xbox game that has any real anticipation this year too. I’m pretty sure the culture war surrounding Fable will be more interesting to watch than playing the game itself, lol.
Shocker that putting $300 million dollar games on Gamepass didn’t last, lol. Probably why you never saw Sony ever put brand new first party titles on PS+.
I played this on Xbox day 1 when some people reported crashes but never once experienced it myself for the 100 hours or so I played it. I think it’s less common than the article suggests. Especially if the sources are brain-rotted Redditards.
No this ain’t enough. I’m gunna wait 7 more years and 900 more patches and until the game is on sale for $3 to play. For now I’ll just keep coming to these articles and telling everyone I’m waiting.
