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.
@Nem I prefer DC1. 2 was too arcadey and never stuck with me at first. Eventually I learned to like it, but the move away from survival horror was a bad one for me.
It was most wanted remake, high up in favourite series/game (2nd in one poll), Regina was in the top 10 best characters multiple times. Remake/sequels to existing IPs was the most wanted direction. The fact this beat DMC in any poll is a hell of a statement.
We are so getting a remake. Also Breath of Fire 3 feature in the top 10 a lot too. My second most wanted after Dino Crisis.
Is it true that this isn't the actual Yasuke? Sounds dirty really, him being tokenised like that. At least the historical period is about right. I mean the real guy's bio is likely altered anyway. A legit truthful as possible story on him & Nobunaga would be really cool.
@Specky Souls games are very grounded..that was the draw. That's the whole reason Demon's Souls became popular. I don't think you played them, or even Nioh very much. Nioh is very skill based which is why I loved it so much. Nothing like Souls games but still great, arguably better than them.
@Perturbator Souls were a different kind of difficulty but you could for the most part beat them with leveling, gear, and your own experience. Games like Ninja Gaiden are just hardcore. A whole higher level of difficult.
@Pat_trick Uncharted 4 was fantastic. 3 was the black sheep in the series. It was awful but it's not easy following Uncharted 2 aka one of the best games ever made.
@Dragoon1994 After Phantom Pain, they should have remade MG1 and MG2 then remade MGS1 with Hayter back as Solid Snake. MGS1 could have been outsourced.
People think any action game with this camera angle and a lock on mechanism is a Soulslike. It's tiring. Demon's Souls incorporated existing mechanics and added its own ideas. Many 'Soulslike' mechanics were around long before From elevated themselves.
This looks more fast paced so it's closer to a Nioh/Team Ninja game than a Soulslike.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Delivers Deep Dive into Its Vast PS5 Open World
@DennisReynolds nah they're not open world. Just big instanced areas for their time
Re: 6 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2024 Leaked Early
Great list. Not one bad game in there.
Re: Next Like a Dragon Title a Surprise for Fans, RGG Studio Teases
@Ryne-Gaia Rebirth actually was disappointing though. The story was butchered so badly I have no hype left for the third part.
Re: Next Like a Dragon Title a Surprise for Fans, RGG Studio Teases
@Cloud39472 it wasn't disappointing.
Re: Capcom Ends New Content Support for Exoprimal
Time for Dino Crisis remake
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The First Descendant?
@DarianStarfrog that specky guy is always in the comments dropping dumb takes. Has a real obsession with big companies.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The First Descendant?
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).
Re: PS Stars 'Returning Soon' in Regional Rollout
Everyone will get their points. People are stressing for no reason.
Re: The Obligatory Helldivers 2 Isn't As Popular As It Was Headlines Have Started to Emerge
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.
Re: Best Uncharted Games
2 is one of the best games ever made. 3 was a disappointment.
My top 3 would be:
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 4
Uncharted
Re: Turn-Based Viking RPG Norse Announced for PS5, Written By Historical Author Giles Kristian
That one guy still crying about Ubisoft at the top of the comments needs to give it a rest.
This game looks like a Norse version of classic HoMM/Disciples.
Re: Huge Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Update Adds Frame Rate Settings, 120FPS Is an Option
@CrashBandicoat you're not sticking to any guns you're just impeding yourself from having fun.
Re: Huge Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Update Adds Frame Rate Settings, 120FPS Is an Option
@Flaming_Kaiser it was still a great game to play. Frame rate was something I could tolerate.
Re: PS5, PS4's New PS2 Emulator Fails to Pass Tech Test
@Maubari huh is this a satire post or something? The PS5 is an amazing console overall. You gotta be craving attention to say this.
Re: Still Wakes the Deep (PS5) - Scottish Oil Rig Conjures Up the Horror Magic
The first line said it best. By far my favourite type of setting. This game has been on my watchlist since it was first announced.
Re: Round Up: All of Our PS5 Previews from Summer Game Fest 2024
@Creepycelery_20 Metaphor is Persona and SMT smashed together by the same Devs. It's going to be great.

Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Is Almost Certainly Real as Another Database Leak Appears
Please don't ruin 9. I don't like that they skipped 8 which ironically would work with the idiotic story butchering that they did with 7.
Re: Helldivers 2 a 'Good Tribute', But Starship Troopers: Extermination the Real Deal, Says Johnny Rico Actor
A lot of people got Helldivers 2 because of the Starship Troopers similarities

@WhiteRabbit I never changed Jin's loadout. Didn't need to.

Re: Criticised Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Demo Merely an 'Amuse-Bouche' of the Full Experience
@Drago201 nope me too. Also that thing on her shoulder looks like a tarantula.

Re: Scathing Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Previews Unfavourably Compare Gameplay to PS Vita's Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Eurogamer are the type to give a well received game a 1/5. They can't be trusted at all.

Quite a big article, nice. This has been on my day 1 buy list since it was first announced.
Re: Diablo 4's First Expansion Delves to PS5 in October
The expansion story pretty much carries on one of many massive plot holes in the base game story.
Re: Here's Your First Real Look at Assassin's Creed Shadows Gameplay
@Specky reading your comment, I don't think there's much present to insult.
Re: Xbox Bigwig Confirms Many More Microsoft Games Are Coming to PS5
If they confirm Gears trilogy I'm counting on you guys to drop an article ASAP 😁
Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Will Add Over 20 DLC Characters Across Its Season Pass
@Shad361 well if the characters/forms from Super Hero are DLC then yea people will want more. Shame they are paywall'd.
Re: Cult PS2 Horror The Thing Remastered Returns in 4K, 120fps on PS5
Day 1 buy. I never got to finish the rental copy all those years ago.

This is my favourite warbond on the Citadel
Re: PS Stars Program Seems to Be Offline as Mobile Icon Disappears
The icon is there for me but it just shows an error on the stars tab.
Re: Many, Many More Major Xbox Games Are Being Plotted for PS5
Can just play most of these on my laptop. I was hoping the Gears of War trilogy would be ported.
Re: Batman: Arkham Dev Allegedly Enlisted to Work on Hogwarts Legacy After Suicide Squad Flop
Rocksteady are long gone. They exist in name only. It's not the same people who developed the Arkham trilogy.

Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Pat_trick Uncharted 4 was fantastic. 3 was the black sheep in the series. It was awful but it's not easy following Uncharted 2 aka one of the best games ever made.
Re: Sony Removes Naughty Dog Boss Interview Following Complete Misquotes
@Kanji-Tatsumi thing is Neil has been plenty abusive to others himself. Including people who post legitimate opinions that he doesn't like.
Re: Rumour: Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake a 2025 Game, More News Soon
@Dragoon1994 After Phantom Pain, they should have remade MG1 and MG2 then remade MGS1 with Hayter back as Solid Snake. MGS1 could have been outsourced.
Re: Rumour: Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake a 2025 Game, More News Soon
If the CE is good I'm getting it. MGS3 is my all time favourite game.
Re: PC Players Are Fuming Until Dawn, God of War Ragnarok Appear to Require PSN Logins
Loud minority who forget they needed Xbox accounts forever to play Xbox ports. Also why is the site red now?

Re: Helldivers 2 Director: Live Service Is Good for Gaming, But Only If It's 'Done Right'
We've had good live service games for years and I've been telling people. But they don't wanna hear it.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2024 Announced
Now that's a bad month. Dredge is the only game on that whole list that's worth caring about. GTA SA will probably leave again next month.
Re: PS5's Sublime Stellar Blade Can Now Be Yours with PS Stars Points
Always get the wallet top-up and wait for a deal. I've never bought a full price game for points.
