Sad to read about Bungie. We should be getting excited when they are working on a new game. But that's the industry isn't it? So many of the old guard have changed so much that they are only a name these days. I mean even Rocksteady who are of a more recent generation are not the same anymore.

Redesign the characters so they look appealing and go f2p or do a free weekend

It's not because it's live service. It's so funny seeing people using that as a bogeyman in the comments all the time not realising some games they like are live service. It's bombing because it looks generic and has the worst cast of character designs. Nobody wants to play as unappealing characters. They want to play as cool characters.

Not touching it. No hate for Ubisoft but it reeks of Disney meddling.

Instead I preordered about 4 games.

They're nothing alike. I don't get my Dino fix from MH and I've been playing since MH2 on the PSP

The baseball game is the only decent option there

Is this like a Splatoon knockoff chasing the Fortnite money?

Review isn't available yet. Reason: Monke

I do need my Prime/Detonate fix so I'll keep an eye on it.

@2here2there that's so wrong. It's full of heart.

Performance issues are not really an issue. I can perfect dodge all day.

Don't think of this as a Soulslike and certainly don't play it like that. It's not a Soulslike.

That's pretty ruthless but I'm not going to cancel (because I'm not a child)

I wish games would just be linear again. All these big maps have me fatigued.

This looks cool and doesn't have any of that Fortnite art direction nonsense.

While this is an action game it's not that difficult. I'm cruising through it and the input lag isn't noticeable at all on performance mode. The only sticky part is when I try to use an item but this has been an issue in Souls games for years. The gourd works on time which is actually an improvement on Souls games.

Every action game has its own cadence anyway and you should be adapting to each one after an hour or two.

Yep I'm playing it. Not too easy not too hard.

Been waiting for them to do sci-fi and since this was teased in Devil in Me it's been on my must buy list.

I can't vote because I didn't watch it or care or even know it was on.

Btw Black Myth Wukong is a real game after all, and it's pretty good.

Wasn't one of the concerns an absence of the fog? I guess that's not an issue then. I wonder if they added it after backlash or it was always going to be there?

I just hope the game isn't vanilla 'for a modern audience' and it's just quality of life/graphics improvements they were referring to. SH needs to disturb people.

Dead Rising with all the frustrating issues fixed sounds dreamy

Shock horror

Hyped from the beginning of the reveal can't wait for launch

Been a fan since the very first Divinity 20 years ago. Now they are here as a massive company.

Not in my book. 3 skips

Bottom of the barrel this month

3 games I won't be adding

I like the genre, have been playing since Demon's Souls released exclusively in Asia, though would prefer less volume but better quality Soulslikes.

Over the years I grew to enjoy the fast skill based games over Soulslikes. Your Niohs, Bayonettas, DMCs, Ninja Gaidens. Even Vanquish which is a shooter but follows a similar style.

FromSoft make fantastic games though. Not DS2, that was the b team.

Did the platinum trophy, had fun, and honestly have no desire to go back for dlc. A sequel would be cool since Eve turned out to be an interesting character. I think they should tone down on the fan service ecchi stuff and let her character shine more.

Wouldn't call this GOTY. I enjoyed RotR, SMT V, Infinite Wealth, Dragon's Dogma more. With more games to come from September on, I think this game just about cracks into the top 10 for 2024.

@Rich33 I platinumed the game and play hard action games regularly. I can say you get used to it. Would probably avoid a parry heavy style though. I think the frame rate fugs the timing. Still doable just awkward.

Time to show the English what's what

@Specky you can't keep crying about Ubisoft. You're not achieving anything other than stinking up the comments section. Take a holiday or something.

They want to return to an era most of them were not a part of. I hope they succeed but not overly optimistic.

If they are going to copy D2 then copy the gunplay. Bungie are one of the best for gunplay.

I genuinely thought this was just another f2p shooter. I wasn't going to touch it anyway. Just like Overwatch, Valorant et al

Gives me more time to save up

I thought they were done updating. This is great

@DennisReynolds your comment is gold. Ubi have been doing alternative fantastical versions of history since the very first AC, but now everyone wants to be offended because Japan.

Even Japanese companies alter history. Nioh has a bunch of alterations even with Yasuke and nobody says anything. Which is good because I love Nioh.

@BamBamBaklava89 would be weird to have a "none" option with that list of games

14% said it's a bad selection 😂 some people love to be miserable

@DennisReynolds nah they're not open world. Just big instanced areas for their time

Great list. Not one bad game in there.

@Ryne-Gaia Rebirth actually was disappointing though. The story was butchered so badly I have no hype left for the third part.

@Cloud39472 it wasn't disappointing.

Time for Dino Crisis remake

@DarianStarfrog that specky guy is always in the comments dropping dumb takes. Has a real obsession with big companies.

I won't touch a f2p game. Looter shooters can be good though. Destiny 2 rocks (though I got out years ago and won't go back).

Everyone will get their points. People are stressing for no reason.

Coincidentally my H2 mug just arrived.

They really should have brought in the new faction instead of going back around with the bugs.

I'm kinda happy for a weird reason. Been wanting to play an NHL game again but heard they're not great the last few years and didn't want to spend money. So I'll take it.

2 is one of the best games ever made. 3 was a disappointment.

My top 3 would be:
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 4
Uncharted
