I am still so upset about not having the War of the Lions content. Why???? They even included the old version for purists. Like give a freaking option at the beginning if you want it included or not. So frustrating
Those screen grabs look really blurry for the most part. Great review though and about what I expected. My no $70 games stand will hold though, so I will get this one later once it discounts.
I am gutted the War of the Lions content was cut. I dont think I'm going to get this now, and I was a fan of the original version. Why wouldn't they put in the extra effort to make this a definitive version? It makes no sense.
After careful deliberations on a response to this incredibly insightful information that was disseminated through these videos, I feel that the only pertinent reply is... "lol wut"
@Dan12836666 Yeah I dont know why people cant see why this is a problem. Let them get away with this bs and it will get worse. They will start piece mealing games to us.
What was annoying about the first one is some of the long traversals between closest save and boss fights. I got tired of going through levels just to reach a boss for the 10th time. A shame because the game was excellent except for that.
Thats actually pretty cool.. My PS5 is upstairs and I use my Portal when I'm downstairs. Being able to just dock it to any TV downstairs would be like having a second console down there.
The game is so different now. I need to download it and restart. I played it right after release and probably put about 60 hours in, but it was mainly farming / building.
Konsider me kraving the new Mortal Kombat—kan’t kontrol my kompulsion! Krushing kombos, klassic karakter kameos, and karnage in kinematic kuality? Kount me in, kause this kombat kid needs a konsistent kick of koolness. Kredit kard’s kringing but it kan’t konvince me to kancell this kollision of karnal karnage and kultured kombat. K'mon, it's klassik!
@Sketti These games are less about getting good and more about dying over and over so you remember the patterns and timing. It is artificial difficulty hidden behind memorization. For those that have time and get the enjoyment of repeating things over and over so they get the memory down, cool. I just dont have the time anymore to do that. When you take the "difficulty" aspect away, this genre of games are just lesser RPGs. I think people just enjoy them so much because they wear completion as a badge of honor.
@Reeneman Bummer. Was excited when I saw they updated it. No matter what I do, the HDR has always been more washed out than the non HDR. They have no clue what they are doing on this front.
Nah, game is beautiful but the characters aren't likeable and its just not a fun experience in my opinion. The opposite of Uncharted series with super likeable characters and just fun adventures.
Who didn't see this coming? Their dream of microtransactions should be mated with what they're good at. If all of these studios were working on expansions and add on content to their masterpieces, as well as new IP in the realm of what they are good at, they would be making bank already.
@16BitHero Agreed, Outlaws failing is some of the worst gaming news in recent years. I also waited for patches and a sale and the game is fantastic. A sequel with improvements on customization, added characters, new locales etc would have been amazing. Its such a shame. First Ubisoft game I've beaten in ages
@NinjaWaddleDee Yeah there needs to be a difficulty between easy and regular mode. The game is amazing but easy is way too easy and I keep getting my butt handed to me on regular.
The first one took too long to get back to some of the bosses after dying. Made me stop playing it. Its a shame because it was really good except for that.
I dont recall this game being very good. Yeah it was an amazing feat in its time because of the open world and a ton of content, but Skyrim improved on it in every conceivable way. Now, open world games are plentiful and basically every single one does it better than Oblivion did. And the main storyline of this game I remember being really poor. I dont know, maybe I'm not remembering correctly. Not really interested in trying this until its a freebie or under 20 bucks.
@GirlVersusGame Definitely worth it for free. Becomes a bit samey after 15 hours or so, but the sense of exploration is really good especially in the early hours. My daughter loves watching me play it.
Maybe they will actually do one right without all the previous missteps (expensive custom memory, crappy joysticks, poor remote play which seems to have been fixed on the Portal). And if it plays your existing PS5 library there isn't any issue with the lack of content the Vita had. Just please give us OLED.
Been boycotting the $70 since it started. This $80 thing doesn't phase me. They can do what they want, I've learned to wait and get a better more complete game for less anyways.
