@FuzzyOtterPaws I wholeheartedly disagree with you on this. Like I said, platinum trophies were suppose to be challenging. If you couldn't beat a game on hard, then you just wouldn't get the platinum lol. No one forces you to get a platinum, so I don't really see your point. This platinum trophy just isn't all that special if anyone can get it without really testing themselves.
I miss the days where platinum trophies were actually challenging to get. I'm not talking about "find all 500 of these collectibles." But I miss those "beat the game on the hardest difficultly setting." Or "complete all combat challenges." Like, getting a platinum use to feel like a great feat, and now it just feels like a lot of games just hand them out...idk, but this platinum doesn't feel special at all.
@RPGGuy I'm saying! Lol. I'm single for life, and I live all alone. This lifestyle is expensive!! I kinda hate it! 🤣...the only reason I get by is because I make a pretty good salary, but there is no way I'd be able to afford a house.
Yes yes yes! I still have my original X360 copy from 2010. It use to be one of those games I'd play like every other Halloween. Never thought a sequel would be made.
@TheArt Yeah, I ruffled a few feathers it appears. People are acting like gameplay videos are such a foreign concept. It's not like I watched a 3 minute clip and called it a day lol.
@KaijuKaiser Graphics and art style have nothing to do with it. My opinion is based on reviews I've read and videos I've seen. Gamplay vids, video breakdowns...all that stuff. Based on everything I've seen and read, it seems like a game that would fit that score. I also played the demo and the concerns I had were verified from the reviews and video essays I've seen.
I'll get Golden probably next week. P4G is probably top 5 of all time favorite games for me. Back when it came out in 2012, I shared a Vita with my brother. When I moved out, he got to keep it so I've never been able to play it again.
Gameplay will always be more important to me than story...because I like to play my games, not just watch them. I'm all for cinematic games, but I hate it when developers let that compromise the actual game. Most stories in games aren't even that great when you compare them to film, anyways.
Callisto and trophy clean up for Ragnarok. I beat Hrolf, and Gna, and did the Muspelheim trails...but I fear that gathering thr collectible is going to be the hardest part for me.
@Toypop I remember when Until Dawn first came out, and after I beat it, my roommate, at the time, said "any other attempt at a game like this is never going to work again, so it's best we enjoy this right now." That was like, what? 8 years ago. And I hate how that ***** was so right lol.
If you type in Hideo into Google translate with Japanese as your language, and set the translation to Turkish, you'll get this dude's last name. If that's just a coincidence, then this entire game is doomed with a terrible curse.
If I'm being honest, I don't think it deserves all the praise. Nor does it deserve the hate. The game was solid, at best. It was just too preachy with "killing is bad. Violence is evil." Yet throwing all these upgrades and crafting to literally have you kill dozens of people in ridiculously fun video game way. I don't mind the approach to open up conversations like this within the media but it has to be done right. MGS 3 and Deus Ex are examples of this. Because, yes, they bring up the notion of killing and using our new found technology to kill, but within the gameplay you are given the CHOICE of your actions. I could play Deus Ex without killing anyone, or I could kill everyone I see. The choice is mine. And the moral notion of murder is always present in your mind because of this. In TLoU2 I don't have a choice most of the time. Sure, you can stealth some areas, but you can't force me to kill all these people and be like "you monster! Bloodlust is wrong!" when you didn't give me a choice in the matter.

Re: Another Legendary Japanese Dev Praises Ghost of Tsushima
Top 5 games from the PS4 era, I think. And the PS5 version is even better.
Re: Surprise! Guerrilla Games Pretty Much Confirms Horizon 3
@GreatAuk Sony must think we're stupid because God of War had that same issue.

Re: Poll: What Game Should Capcom Remake Next?
I'd love Dino Crisis! However, if they stay with RE I think they should do Code Veronica.
Re: Horizon, The Wire's Lance Reddick Has Passed Away
I am devastated by this news. He was a masterclass at everything he did. I'll probably cry when a watch John Wick 4 now.

I pre ordered 3 games all year. This was one of them...God of War and Elden Ring (which are exceptional!) were the other ones.
Re: The Callisto Protocol (PS5) - Just Like Dead Space, for Better and Worse
Pretty on point review, though I don't think it's "too much like Dead Space." It plays very differently...at least from how I remember Dead Space.
