@stefan771 On that thought tho imagine if on release day of cyberpunk they had announced that the game was being delayed indefinitely and actually releasing 4 years later; mind you i mean from the state it was released postponing that product to 4 years later. It could be the case that pragmata 2022 was cyberpunk on release day and they decided to hold it 4years more. Haha im just being optimistic here and with all that said im not pre ordering it and probably won't play it on release. But 4 years working on something that should be ready in 2022 its to be expected that they polished decently. if we still have the notifications of this chat on the record we both can tag each other when push square release the review and see what's the story ! haha
correct me if im wrong and i say this with all due respect to the reviewer but to point out "parkour still cool" doesn't go against "tedious traversal" ? and also "gory satisfying combat" against "weapons being dull" ?
@stefan771 i dont know... i see as a good thing; like "we had plans to release in 2022 but was garbage. let us work 4 years more and will be ready".
Not pre ordering it by any means but i think it will be interesting to see because if they had original plans to release in 2022 they were working on it for a few years already and then worked 4 more on top of it
Wasnt sold on BF6 beta; i don't fancy all Call of duty microtransaction but still couldn't have fun with BF gameplay. So many years playing call of duty that there's a odd feeling trying another FPS
The previous article about this game is what made me interested the most; the fact that they came out publicly to say that the reason why was delayed from 2022 was basically because "it wasnt working" show the commitment they and effort they putting into it
Sekiro 2, Bloodborne 2, God of war Egypt, Last of us part 3, Spider man 3, Death Stranding 3, RED DEAD REDEMPTION 3! If we dont get those, massive L tomorrow
All political stuff aside i will be waiting for reviews. But it does sting a bit that SP haven't published any disclaimer about declarations made recently. Anyways... If its a good game i'll be playing
@Stevemalkpus I suppose at this point they're just using the branding; it could have any other name like silent nightmare or whatever but sells and media attention are much higher as it carries a classic name; also wonder if they will connect this somehow to the "silent hill" as we know, but can hardly see that happening. Let's just hope its a good horror game
@Kidfunkadelic83 same here, had so much fun with my partner playing split fiction; i think there's one called Reanimal in the same style of this one that will be couch co-op
So tired of open world games ;( Will wait reviews for this but when i see something it's open world my eyes doesnt shine anymore; at least not after RDR2
Live service games are now a risky gamble; almost everything out has consolidate itself so much that it's hard to companies to find the next big hit like Fortnite or CoD
Looks like a smash button win game where you're super OP; FF16 was cool, but i suppose mainly due to the story i really enjoyed. I will wait reviews for this one; there's a lot of games coming out end of august/september
@AhmadSumadi it's just that when you really like or love something is hard not to make comparisons to that thing that made you fall in love with it; played my first god of war when i was like 11yrs old and obviously that grew with me over the years... Very happy to see Kratos getting into another platform just a bit afraid that happens the same as it did with Ellie;
I'll be playing it tonight and when they release a patch i will comment my personal opinion; but reviews are mostly good to be fair... And Wukong also had a some technical issues at release so wouldn't be so harsh on this one
Game looks dope; im looking forward to it even more as its in early access for a while now. Usually means the game will be very polished by full release
@Dodoo there are a few bangers to come out this year still; chronos, silent hill, wuchang, that one that looks like noctis forgot the name, mafia, metal gear... there are loads of options for different tastes
Will definitely be playing day one but i wouldn't play the first game again before this; i think they're too similar. Was same with spider man 2. i didnt wanted to re play the first one before second so i dont get fed up
@Propaperpusher it was revealed last September and will be released October i think that goes with sony promise to only announce games when they're close to release.
Cant remember if was sony indeed or naughty dog who said that; however is not such a bad thing. So many games gets revealed 2 years before release date and goes without saying that that only makes people put pressure on devs
I'm 10hours in and its a big improvement from first one; definitely not as boring much more action going on; im not big into stealth so for me was a great improvement; the brigands dont have to find me, i find them first guns out
Most developers still try to cap the games graphics and performance to suit the PS4 as well. I believe while this is still happening we're far from see PS5 full capability. Graphically speaking, Death Stranding 2, Spider man 2 and even Senua Hellblade 2 are really next gen
Can't remember of any game releasing this year that could still be a competitor; Probably KCD 2, EX33 and DS2 will fight for goty... However with DS2 we all knew more or less what we were getting so its not so much of a surprise hit as EX33.
Edit* Chronos of New dawn; Silent Hill F and Ghost of Yotei could be a surprise too
Not every action melee game needs to be a souls like; i love the difficulty in those games and got used to harder games so every time i play a game like this i select hard or harder; i remember playing spider man 2 on the highest difficulty just because is more to what im used to but obviously thats personal preference
