Re: Ubisoft May Have Put Watch Dogs Down for Good

Gamer83

It had its flaws, and definitely didn't live up to the hype, but I enjoyed the first one quite a bit. The second... No so much. Didn't bother with Legion. There was potential for the IP, just didn't deliver overall.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 615

Gamer83

PS5 - Code Violet, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (still haven't completed the game after all the years it's been on the market and really need to so I can also get to Rebirth before the next part of the remake saga)

Switch 2 - Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

Re: Code Violet (PS5) - Gooner Shooter Can't Get It Up

@truerbluer
Anecdotal, obviously, but it doesn't seem like many people are defending the game. I think most realize it's not a great product. And that's not me going to bat for PS fanboys either, definitely seen plenty of people defend games simply for being exclusive in the past, this just isn't one of those times.

There's definitely some pretty revealing outfits but nothing that should bother anybody as much as it seems to bother this reviewer. I guess there's the whole 'nobody would wear this while battling dinosaurs' argument but the way I view it, it's optional outfits in a game with a futuristic setting and dinosaurs. People take things far too seriously sometimes.

Happy new year. Thanks once again for all the hard work last year and I look forward to this website continuing to be the best place for gaming news and discussion.

@Rich33
You're right on the surface level, problem is reviews here are only done by one person, we don't know the behind the scenes discussions when deciding lists like this. And this is why I preferred EGM to many other mags back in the day, you'd get 3 or 4 people reviewing the same title, get a better idea of how the staff views things and made their end of the year awards make more sense.

Re: Nov 2025 USA Sales: Black Ops 7 Is the Month's Bestseller, But Struggles to Meet Call of Duty Standards

Gamer83

A bad month for the gaming industry as a whole but especially Nintendo. Yes, the economy is in the toilet but after the success that the Switch 1 was, this can't be the result Nintendo was hoping the successor would have in its first Black Friday especially with the first new Mario Kart in more than a decade bundled in, an awesome 3D DK game and a new Pokémon. That's also with retailers doing their own promotions for the console.
PS5 is now five years on the market and has already sold a healthy amount of units since it launched so, while not great, things also aren't completely disastrous for the brand.

Re: Disappointment as PS2 All-Timer SoulCalibur 3 Launches on PS5, PS4 without Trophies

Gamer83

I'm not that disappointed just happy to have the game on a modern platform that's hooked up to my monitor. Eventhough I've always liked the trophy/achievement system on PS and Xbox consoles, I do miss when instead of getting some digital 'prize' you'd actually unlock cool things in-game like new characters, costumes, stages, etc. I'd trade having that back for no more trophy system any time.

Re: 'How Do We Help Her Evolve?': Crystal Dynamics on Reimagining Tomb Raider's Lara Croft for a New Era

Gamer83

Looking forward to both games. If I was picking just one, I'd lean more towards Legacy of Atlantis because they're pulling from source material we already know is great. Catalyst is highly interesting, though. Seems Lara has her edge back and, even better, looks like she might be on the older side. We see old dudes kicking a** in games quite frequently, very rarely is there a female character who's aged up a bit.

@LifeGirl
I've already seen people on both sides of the idiotic 'culture war' debate saying dumb s**t. I'd like to say it's surprising but it's not.

Re: Lara Croft Returns in Two New Tomb Raider Titles on PS5

@get2sammyb
I don't know man, didn't see enough of these games to get that impression but it's probably closer than the reboot trilogy was (I did enjoy those games also), which is cool, and I'm always down for more Tomb Raider. Definitely looking forward to both.
