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.
@Retron I don't know, if they went after everyone saying a game looks bad they would go bankrupt. Lawyers and legal proceedings are incredibly expensive. Pretty sure they will only go after the internet filth, more power to them.
The biggest dissapointment I ever had with a game. I made it to the point everyone was saying it "opened up" and was like....this is it? Most of the characters were obnoxious, the story was really hard to follow. It is a shame because the battle system was really cool and Lightnings design was awesome, but the sum of it's parts were just bad. I wouldn't want them to dedicate resources to a remake.
I hope it fails and is the final proverbial nail in the live service coffin. Think how many traditional games we could have if they had not gone this direction.
I bought the game when it first came out and it was terrible. The audio was especially bad. I made it to the first town and did some things but couldn't get over the poor voice acting and overall jankiness. Was definitely bit by the hype on it.
I'd like to see it played by someone that doesn't block every single hit. Of course it looks badass when the player is blocking everything. Looks a lot cooler than monkey staff game though.
I hope this game is a success. Just because it's a ubi game doesn't meant it doesn't have a ton of great dedicated people working on it. To trash it before it ever gets a chance is pretty bad form. Cautiously optimistic here as getting lost in the Star Wars universe sounds awesome in theory. Let's hope they execute.
Wish I could have known, game was never playable for me because of constant crashing. Square Enix and Playstation both ignored me when reporting it. Really left a bad taste in my mouth.
Action looks slow and undercooked. They should have showed a segment from later in the game with a few more abilities unlocked. This looks repetitive because the main character has one ability unlocked and then basic attacks. All of the distinct enemies have the same reactions when they are attacked. So if you hit two of the same types of enemies at once they do the same exact animation of taking a hit. That is basic level development, breaks immersion, and just looks stupid. I'll keep my eye on it but they needed to come out swinging and this sort of lackluster showcase is going to hurt them.

@adge_uk Exactly the same for me with Outlaws. What a great game. I bet it would get solid 9's if it was re-reviewed.

Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic
They should just make it live service and add a season pass. That way they only have to make the game one time and just have people pay over and over.
