Nioh is not a Souls like. I've done everything you could do and puts hundreds of hours into the series. I hate that people try to call it that when the gameplay is totally different.
I hope controllers dont go up because I'm on my fifth or sixth one and it, unsurprisingly, has stick drift. These things can't last a year without drift and it's insane. My latest one is the anniversary edition and it's hilariously drifting in all 4 directions.
@SEVENTEENSOILS Persona 5 Royal removed a scene from the original game featuring two gay guys because apparently gay people can't be bad or evil. It wasn't the localisation team that did it. The japanese devs did it.
You want to talk funky controls. Let's talk about Breath of the Wild. You want to talk about funky inventory. Let's talk Breath of the Wild. You want to talk no hand holding and minimal story. Well you get the idea. Also FromSoft games had funky controls.
This game is being dragged for the same reasons some of the most beloved games ever are praised for or conveniently ignored in review scores.
Bet all the red flaggers said the same about the 2025 GOTY Expedition 33 a year ago when they had a review embargo that ended 24 hours before launch. Look how that turned out. Embargos dont mean theyre hiding something. You people just looove negativity.
I think this game suffers from modernitis. The reviewers aren't very capable at combat, puzzles, or general problem solving, and drag the score down because of the lack of handholding. Plenty of harder games have been hit like that since games became mainstream.
I platinumed F when it came out and didnt notice any of the issues DF mention. I think people hold them too high in regard because they laser in on unnoticeable things.
@Lup Marathon will survive because the one thing Bungie does right they do better than every other dev in history. Addicting gunplay will keep people around.
It's so funny how they thought this game was a good idea. It's such a vanilla uninspiring game in an overcrowded low quality market. These games are like memecoins and every dev thinks their crappy version is the one.
Uncharted had its run and should be left alone. ND is worse with Druckmann in charge anyway. I wouldn't want him damaging the franchise. U4 somehow survived with him but it wasn't near the peak.

79.99 for the standard edition. Absolutely insane to think it would be less.

Re: 'This Feels Like Nothing Else Out There': Saros Devs on Making Another Standout PS5 Exclusive
@Deadlyblack Returnal is a roguelite not a roguelike. In fact the lite is a huge part of its identity.
Re: 'This Feels Like Nothing Else Out There': Saros Devs on Making Another Standout PS5 Exclusive
@PuppetMaster Vanquish 2 not existing is a travesty
Re: Saros Goes All-In on Story and Action for PS5 Launch Trailer
@Dalamar technically not roguelikes. They're roguelites.

It just (doesn't) works!

I always forget that they made more than 3 of them. I even know about the tactics one.

@carlos82 honestly 31 mil is a drop in the ocean if you consider how many people are online.
Re: Pragmata (PS5) - Brilliant Combat Is the Star of Yet Another Capcom PS5 Hit
Now if they can get to work on reviving old gems like Dino Crisis and Breath of Fire.
Re: PS5 Starfield Launch Plagued by Crashes, Even on PS5 Pro
"Something is causing Starfield to repeatedly crash on both PS5 and PS5 Pro — and no one's quite sure why."
We know why. Bethesda.
Re: You Might Not Want to Know How Much It Reportedly Cost Bungie to Make Marathon
These amounts pale in comparison to what GTA 6 costs.
Re: Starfield (PS5) - Better Than Ever, But Still No Space Skyrim
Never planned to buy it on PC. Still have no plans to buy it on PS5. It's lazy Bethesda jank. They were upstaged by multiple older games in many ways.
I hope they lose money on this but we know they won't.
Re: PlayStation to Start Putting Fans into PS5 Games with New Playerbase Program
Anyone who has supported them since the 90s would be deemed too old for this which is sad.
Re: These 14+ New PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out This Week (6th-12th April)
The PS+ games are good but the new games are nothing of interest. Pragmata will be out next week.
Re: Here's Why Starfield Will Be Best on PS5 When It Finally Releases Next Week
@KidRisky I do in some games. Either low health, alerted enemies, or in rare cases it says what power mode im using. Sometimes it's useful.
The only thing I want from Bethesda is a 60fps patch for Prey.

Dont own any and would play all. Great month. I'm sure some miserable individuals will complain as always.
Re: Ex Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Dev Says They Were Fired and Replaced with AI
@SEVENTEENSOILS Persona 5 Royal removed a scene from the original game featuring two gay guys because apparently gay people can't be bad or evil. It wasn't the localisation team that did it. The japanese devs did it.
Re: Ex Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Dev Says They Were Fired and Replaced with AI
@MidnightDragonDX it's literally better and cheaper than hiring people for translations
Re: Amazon's Tomb Raider Series Pauses Production as Star Sophie Turner Suffers Injury
@Divergent95 doesn't feel like either of those. It's not cool to call comments you don't like ragebait.

Re: '$1,000+ Consoles Could Become the Norm': PS6's Price Touted to Touch Four Figures
I'd say just build a PC but the way things are going, a GPU alone will be the price of a car.
Re: PS5 FPS Alien Deathstorm Is Not to Be Confused with the Ridley Scott Movie, Despite Its Dev
I mean they are xenomorphs just not the kind you expected.
Re: Crimson Desert (PS5) - A Generational Open World Buried in Early Access Cruft
I didn't play BOTW for the plot either. Honestly the same issues for this exist in that game, especially at launch, and you'd probably give that a 10.
I like to call this Black Desert Offline though because it does look like MMO specialists made it.
Re: Further Evidence of PSN's Rebrand Uncovered on the PS5 Console

Re: Hands On: Crimson Desert Runs Well Enough on PS5 Pro, But What About That Intro?
You want to talk funky controls. Let's talk about Breath of the Wild. You want to talk about funky inventory. Let's talk Breath of the Wild. You want to talk no hand holding and minimal story. Well you get the idea. Also FromSoft games had funky controls.

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
I've had the Pro since launch and never regretted it. The outrage merchants who tried to undervalue the Pro can feast on their sour grapes.

Re: PS5's New Castlevania the Star of 40+ Game Showcase Presentation Next Month
I wish they'd go back to 3D like Lords of Shadow. I'm sick of the 2D nostalgia bait.
Re: Capcom Won't Reveal One of Resident Evil Requiem's Biggest Mysteries Any Time Soon
It's not going to be someone from past games. It will just be someone normal who doesnt go around fighting BOWs.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Crimson Desert PS5 Review?

Re: Round Up: Crimson Desert Reviews Are a Major Disappointment
@RoomWithaMoose Elden Ring is significantly easier than any other ARPG From have developed.
Re: Round Up: Crimson Desert Reviews Are a Major Disappointment

Re: March 2026 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
I bought that Madden game less than a month ago and due to silly policy I can't refund it and play the Extra one.
Re: Here Is Crimson Desert Gameplay on Base PS5
If you want better visuals you get the better hardware. What's not to understand about that. It's not even a new concept

I've been using Chiaki for years and I have never heard of this other crowd. I don't really see why I need to switch to them or get a Portal.
Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports

Yes it's in development hell
Re: March 2026 PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now
I thought ESO was always free.
I suppose I'll give the golf a try. I wonder how 2k managed to ruin that experience with online microtransaction nonsense.
Re: Opinion: If Sony's Doubling Down on Its Most Popular Franchises, Where's Uncharted?
Uncharted had its run and should be left alone. ND is worse with Druckmann in charge anyway. I wouldn't want him damaging the franchise. U4 somehow survived with him but it wasn't near the peak.
