Watching this trailer just makes me wish there was even a chance of a Fallout 5 game releasing in the next five years. I think it nails the tone and setting.
@Foxhound The sort of audience these adverts are designed to target donโt care about something like that. Itโs for the casual market, not hardcore people.
@ImmaWario I feel this type of game has evolved from when Firewatch launched, to the point where this structure feels a bit old. For example, What Remains of Edith Finch really changes up its gameplay pretty dramatically all the time. The Invincible doesn't.
@themightyant MGS1 requires a minimum of two playthroughs, and all three games ask you to get a Fox / Big Boss rank. Those are really hard requirements and will potentially take multiple attempts.
@Ravix @Quintumply I played the whole game through with my normal earphones and can't say I noticed anything particularly special to do with the sound. I'm not really clued up on audio, though, so you may need to go to a better source for this. As just a standard person, I didn't pick up on anything special.
@BrockSmith @starbuck2212 Imagine having an account on a hardcore gaming website such as this and reacting like that to the people who make video games possible. Really, really disappointing to see.
@wiiware Thatโs not the point of a review. A review is to judge whether a game is good or not regardless of price. Does the score go up if a game is put on sale? Does the score go down if a game becomes rare and is sold for more on eBay? Thatโs not how any of this works, so price is very rarely a factor.
If weโre only ever judging whether a game is worth its price, then 50+ hour RPGs are only ever a 10/10 and short indie games score poorly.
@lindos I can't speak to the accessibility report because it's provided by an external company, but I've just checked the PS5 version for you and I'm afraid there's no option to swap the thumbsticks in-game.
@DeathlySW Yes it does! I can't remember everything that carries over, but you're given the option of starting a New Game+ playthrough or jumping back into your current game and then starting a second run later on.
@Constable_What I can't speak to the demo as I hardly played it, but I found the controls fairly responsive. They didn't feel clunky to me in the final version.
@Flora2122 Haha yes it does, but it doesn't happen on the actual character. It happens elsewhere.
@Athrum I didn't play much of the demo, but I know it's been made better in the final game. You can also upgrade the dodge to make it more viable, adding extra movements and using it on the ground. I didn't have many issues with it after upgrading it once.
@mariomaster96 For the PS5 version, sure. If you look at the listings for the PC and Xbox Series X versions, there are outlets that have scored it lower than me.
@ArmoredMore I did like the game! A 7/10 means a "Good" game on our review scale. I think Armored Core 6 is a consistently good game that I enjoyed throughout, but I don't think it reaches the heights required for an 8 or above.
@nessisonett I agree it's crappy when he breaks embargoes, but none of his PlayStation hardware leaks is him doing that. Otherwise, we'd know about it too.
@pip_muzz It's in at number 8 right now, 4.9 million copies sold for the PS5, PS4 remake. On the Capcom website, the original game is split across multiple different versions so the overall figure isn't displayed.
