@hugoadan just finished the base game in Nioh 1 almost through the 1st dlc. I’m gonna take a nioh break after that but I’m excited to get into 2. Such a great game
If I’ve learned anything from this is you have to wait awhile till after something is released to get the final version or true vision. Meaning after a game is done being patched or the pro version of a console releases.
A few patches should fix it up. No worries. Unless it’s something really special I don’t see reason to buy games until they’re fully patched, all dlc is released and they’re on discount. Only then do I consider a game to be release ready.
@Oram77 there’s something about voting abysmal that makes me laugh. It’s not really to troll anyone. It just gives me a chuckle. That’s my inner 6 year old coming out at middle age. But I couldn’t do that to this game. I like it too much.
@Sergo I wish I could downvote this message. So wild that in such a short span everyone went from “everything costing too much!!!” So people starting to go “oh well they should charge a premium. It’s worth it” or breaking down cost and entertainment hours to justify price hikes.
Crazy times.
Best game of the gen so far. Unfortunately I already dropped over a hundred hours in this during the pandemic. So I’m done with it. A replay would never match the original experience anyway. S tier game for me!
I’m going to try to get some progress in Nioh again. Work and life hasn’t allowed me any time to game this week unfortunately. But I have Sunday afternoon off so here’s hoping. I’m getting an itch to go back and play Batman Arkham Asylum. But I’m a one game at a time person, so when I finish Nioh hopefully the itch is still there.
@QualityGeezer I wanted to like Witcher 3 so much I just did not like the combat system at all. Which is a drag because the story and world building seemed amazing from what I did play.
@AdamNovice yeah. Kind of suspicious. Makes me feel like it might not be quality. But then again ninja gaiden 2 black shadow dropped and it was killer.
Slowly chipping away at Nioh still. On the 4th region now. I love the shorter mission format of the game. Despite it taking a while to beat. The way it’s set up doesn’t make it feel like I’ve been playing it as long as I have. Just take a mission or two down each session.
So they put out a solid game in shadows apparently. Didn’t play it mostly because this is a rotten company. Even if they put out a few good games i personally feel no need to support anything they do.
Loved it. There was a bit too much fluff in spots. I’d say 8 out of 10. The yuffi section was great though. More focus and combat was on point. 9 out of 10 dlc.
@Grackler I mean. All people need to do is go back to the snes days and look at their game prices. I seem to remember Killer Instinct costing something like 80 dollars.
A lot of people here acting like inflation isn’t a thing. And it’s a purely greed “screw the fans “ move. Price increases in gaming was inevitable. A lot has changed price wise of basically everything since switch 1 was launched.
Yea! Focus on performance! There should be no reason we’re still stuck in the land of 30fps because they’re more focused on graphics the system can’t deliver without impacting performance. It’s maddening honestly.
@Korgon holy ***** I remember that. I stopped playing it after that. For the first few rounds I was like wtf is wrong…. Why is it like this? Then I saw the update notification.

Nah. I’ll wait for a sale. Thanks though.
Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
I’m not amped on the open world aspects of it and I loved the verticality of Eternal. Plus the perry mechanic doesn’t appeal to me

Re: Poll: Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?
There’s just something about this release that just doesn’t amp me up like Eternal did. I’ll play it for sure. But I’ll wait for a sale.
Re: Could Borderlands 4 Be an $80 PS5 Game? It 'Might' Be

Re: Poll: Which Bethesda RPG Needs an Oblivion-Style Remaster Next?
They should make an all new game that’s really good.

Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages (PS5) - Medieval Mashup Slows Down for FPS Excellence
Ahhh. I’m still stoked to check it out. But Eternal was my favorite. I see that’s not really a feeling a lot of folk have though.

Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for GTA 6 After Trailer 2?
Right now DS2 is my most hyped game of the year followed by ninja gaiden 4 and rage bound.
This second trailer turned my lack of interest into a I’ll definitely play it someday.

Re: GTA 6 Publisher Supports Rockstar in 2026 Delay, Commits to 'Excellence'
@JalapenoSpiceLife not I. I’ll wait till it’s 5$ all patched out and dlc included on the ps7. Easy choice there.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
Only have ever played vice city and 4. They were good games. I don’t have much of a desire for more after those two
Re: Expedition 33 Dev Working Around the Clock to Re-Stock Boxed PS5 Copies
@guacguacboo the worst. Over on Nintendo life I was seeing people defending scalpers like “oh people gotta make a living too”. Ridiculous.

Re: Nintendo Is Displaying Hubris Which Would Make Even PS3 Era Sony Blush
@VatoLoco47 that’s the thing though. People don’t have self restraint. It’s going to sell very well anyway. Which is unfortunate for us all.

Re: You'll Be Able to Transfer Your Cyberpunk 2077 Progress from PS5 to Switch 2
I was stoked for switch 2 until I saw they were going back to the SNES N64 game pricing model. Price of the system didn’t bother me too much.
