Bungie is a love service developer and live service is as dirty of a word as microtransactions. When Sony states their intent of buying bungie to bolster their live service games, I'm reminded of when Nintendo started to get into mobile games. Nothing good will come from their partnership.
I wasnt at all interested in the game. I thought itd be exactly the same game as their dynasty warriors games. The dialogue and dungeons has me interested though. If they're well designed and stylish like persona 5, I'd be interested in getting it.
I enjoy the cryptic messages. It's a fun way to keep the fans engaged. The cryptic nature of their poems make me think it's a fromsoft remake. It would stay true to their games.
I dont understand the criticism for using dark souls bonfires. It's the best method for refreshing yourself and setting off. Its definitely the most rewarding.
It looks really good, but I dont trust EA. I'll wait a month after release and see if they try to pull anything. Then if nothing happens, I'll buy it used. No sense in supporting EA.
Days gone was the buggiest game I've ever played. (I've never played bethesda's infamously buggy games so take that as you will) It was a really good game though.
I got the same feeling watching this as I did when I saw Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem. (I never played both games, but I loved the art style) Hopefully the story is good, TMS's story was terrible.
The setting is very nice and I was surprised how different their settings can get just in Japan, though I suspect the divine realm is more inspired by china than Japan. There aren't very many bosses in the game which was disappointing, but the kite missile guy easily pushed the game up to a ten for me. Without him, I'd give it a nine.
It's likely copying the ps4 controller because it's the most popular. Though without the touchpad, I was never reminded of the dual shock when I saw this one.
In an alternative universe, Cory and David are having a conversation where Dark Odyssey probably would've been named something completely different. Imagine if they had named it 'In the valley of the gods' or 'God of war'.
@Flaming_Kaiser Well, the advertised cars and tracks included in the game wouldn't actually be included in the game if they didn't have online to collect them with. It's like when Activision advertised Spyro 2 and 3 on the box when they weren't actually included in the disc. At least Activision wrote on the box that they would have to be downloaded and wouldn't be included in the disc. It sucks, but potential buyers are actually informed.

Re: EA's Crysis Franchise Might Be Making a Comeback
If there's any truth to the rumor, it's getting microtransactions.

Re: Hands On: Nioh 2 Could Be the Toughest Souls-Like to Date
The cat is there to boost your yokai abilities. When it's around you, you're power meter builds up faster and you can use spells more often.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for November 2019?

It's dead. The people have spoken.
Re: Guide: All Free EA Access Games Available on PS4

Re: E3 2019: Yes, Marvel's Avengers Will Have Microtransactions
It can only be bad news. Who's to say they wont change it after the reviews release?
Re: E3 2019: Gods & Monsters Is Like Zelda: Breath of the Wild Meets Assassin's Creed Odyssey
And just like that, I'm out. Botw was the second worst zelda game ever made because the world was bland and the combat was trash.
Re: E3 2019: Crash team Racing Nitro-Fueled Reveals Free Seasonal Content, New Characters, and Spyro Crossover
This sounds ripe for microtransactions. I'm getting nervous.

Sorry death stranding, but fromsoft makes the best games I've ever played. Settle for 2'nd most anticipated?
Re: Reaction: Sony's Decision to Skip E3 2019 Is Starting to Look Really Smart
It sucks but understandable. If you have nothing to show, you have nothing to show.
Re: E3 2019: PS5 Will Cost $800, Jokes Analyst Michael Pachter in Wild Prediction
Agreed. Considering the specs and the ssd drive, itd be a miracle if it costs less than $500.
Re: E3 2019: Madden NFL 20 Will Make You the Face of a Franchise
I swear I've heard this "new" mode from last year's game.
Re: E3 2019: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Takes Inspiration from Metroid and Dark Souls
It looks really good, but I dont trust EA. I'll wait a month after release and see if they try to pull anything. Then if nothing happens, I'll buy it used. No sense in supporting EA.
Re: Square Enix Appears Particularly Confident Ahead of its E3 2019 Press Conference
I'm just gonna throw this out there, what if the games they're expected to release to create this growth are just mobile games?
Re: Days Gone Patch 1.08 Released, Fixes Progress-Halting Bugs and Audio Issues
Days gone was the buggiest game I've ever played. (I've never played bethesda's infamously buggy games so take that as you will)
It was a really good game though.
Re: ANTHEM Sales Failed to Meet Expectations Despite Record Digital Performance, Says EA
Those $20 skins wont sell themselves.
Re: Code Vein Reappears with Upcoming Network Test
It looks like they've been listening to feedback. My main complaint was the excessive particle effects.
Re: EA Access Confirmed for PS4, Arrives This Summer
I'm not paying $30 a year to play what us essentially phone games by EA.
Re: Does Borderlands 3 Have Microtransactions? Yes, But Gearbox Says They're Only Cosmetic
What a fraud. Stick to magic tricks, at least then he was expected to trick the audience.
Re: BioWare Remains '100% Committed' to ANTHEM Following Developer Downsizing Speculation
Anthem will 100% be a traditional bioware game with a story.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Gets Its First Teaser Ahead of Imminent Reveal
Don't stand out huh? That's the worst slogan I've ever heard. It implies that the game will be bland or mediocre.
Re: God of War PS4 Director Says Accessibility Will Never Compromise His Vision
It depends on who the creator is. Cory's games are designed with the story in mind. Miyazaki's games are created with the challenge in mind.
Re: Sakura Wars Returns on PS4 This Winter in Japan, Spring in the West
I got the same feeling watching this as I did when I saw Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem. (I never played both games, but I loved the art style) Hopefully the story is good, TMS's story was terrible.
Re: Bonkers Rumour Suggests That From Software Is Working with George R.R. Martin on New Game
The rumor better be true!
Re: Mortal Kombat 11's Fighters Will Be a Little More Kovered Up
I'm ok with those changes. Now, if they were going to change the gory nature of fatalities. . . well, what would be the point of mortal combat?
Re: Poll: One Week Later, What Review Score Would You Give Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice?
The setting is very nice and I was surprised how different their settings can get just in Japan, though I suspect the divine realm is more inspired by china than Japan.

Re: Google's Stadia Controller Has an Awful Lot In Common with the PS4's DualShock 4
It's likely copying the ps4 controller because it's the most popular. Though without the touchpad, I was never reminded of the dual shock when I saw this one.
Re: ANTHEM Launch 'Rougher' Than BioWare Expected, Says 'the Best Is Yet to Come'
That apology has EA written all over it. It's the same apology given for battlefront. "We'll get the next one right." "We totally learned our lesson."
Re: Wow, EA Paid Mega Popular Streamer Ninja $1 Million to Promote Apex Legends
He's not a reviewer and so I'm ok with this. He just plays games.
Re: EA Won't Be Hosting a Press Conference at E3 2019
Balance has been restored. The best company bowed out of e3 and so the worst bowed out as well.
Re: Sony Spotlights Some of Its Top Talent on International Women's Day
They certainly help create some of the best games in the world. Congratulations to them and thank you.
Re: God of War Was Almost Called Something Totally Different, Says Creator David Jaffe
In an alternative universe, Cory and David are having a conversation where Dark Odyssey probably would've been named something completely different. Imagine if they had named it 'In the valley of the gods' or 'God of war'.
Re: Sony Taken to Task for 'Misleading' Gran Turismo Sport Ad
@Flaming_Kaiser Well, the advertised cars and tracks included in the game wouldn't actually be included in the game if they didn't have online to collect them with.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for March 2019?
I'm not a big fan of shooters, and we already got a call of duty game in october. Fifa would've been a worse game though.
Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Sells Over 10 Million Copies Worldwide in Two Years
This was one of my favorite games this gen. It's crazy how sony are pumping out hit after hit. They've finally nailed down that seal of quality.
Re: Judgment Sounds Like a Superb Return to Kamurocho, According to First English Previews
Judgment is only my second most anticipated game this year behind sekiro.
Re: Guide: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice FAQ - Everything You Need to Know
Activision is my only concern. We'll see what they do.

No. Itll be broken for months and possibly years, just like all their other high profile games they swear they'd fix.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is the Sequel to Team Cherry's Beloved Insect Adventure
Hollow knight was one of my favorite games last year. I'll definitely get this one.
Re: ANTHEM Launch Trailer Tries Its Best to Get the Hype Going
No. For obvious reasons.

I dont know if they'll reach it or not, but I'm not contributing to that number.
Re: Apex Legends Attracted One Million Unique Players Within the First Eight Hours
I will never download an EA game.
Re: Hands On: Dreams Is Arguably PS4's Most Impressive Exclusive Yet
I'm trying to make a world where people live in a giant clock similar to xenoblade chronicles. It's crazy what you can do in the demo.
