@McBurn The meatheads who think Skyrim is some deep role playing game might dunk on it. Smaller teams making more interesting games is nothing but good imo.
I enjoyed Rise of the Ronin, at least the bit that I played. Looks pretty rough but the fighting and traversal are great fun. I just kept remembering that Ghost of Tsushima was like, right there... Anyway! I hope this does well. Seems they've struggled with the open-world implementation. I'll check it out.
@DennisReynolds it used to be my favorite genre. But my favorite fighters are Sam Sho 2, SF Alpha, Tobal 2, MK 2, Bushido Blade, etc. Before the FGC ruined them, in other words.
Seems like a slow game with very wide courses, and I don't like the DLC characters from Nickelodeon, etc. Its like my friend who would always bring his WWE figures to play with my TMNT figures. No sir. Nuh uh. Beat it.
Doom is my favorite thing, and I loved The Dark Ages. They always take these big swings with Doom. I am interested in where they go next, but also they should do Quake. I was sure that TDA was going to be a crossover with Quake. Made all the sense in the world...
After the Huntdown: Overtime trailer drop, I decided to play through the first game again. I also picked up Wreckfest. The seven year old is losing it over that one. I got both of them on my Retroid. I own both on other platforms, but I just figured "Why not?" at the ridiculous prices on the Play store. Interesting that Wreckfest on Android looks better and nickels and dimes much less than the obscenely priced Switch version.
The Retroid does remote play, has an AMOLED and hall sticks, and is most likely a lot more affordable. The Portal is cool, just letting people know there's other options out there that do more.
@nessisonett "Exploited," is the word. At least, it's Ubisoft's word. The Animus only existed to make AC "annually exploitable." Aren't videogames magical???
@DennisReynolds I will pick it up when everything is on a cart or when I have the disposable income. I just doubt that there won't be expansions, and I'd rather just get all of it in one.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to pick this up until it is feature/content complete. Some day, we will have two incomes and I will go back to buying digital day one. Might be a minute tho...
I payed Unity recently. Kind of pointless to go through all the trouble of updating the game when the suspension of disbelief is constantly being destroyed by brain dead NPCs popping in ten feet in front of you. Just like when Cyberpunk released, I would take 2/3s the set dressing NPCs for NPCs with a purpose.
...or just give me a post-apocalyptic mode where I can pretend that everyone is dead. Le sighhhh
@charbtronic I think I will wait for a few more iterations before upgrading. It does everything I want. I am not really interested in emulating much past the Wii.
@EfYI I use my Pocket 5 for Doom mods, New Vegas and Streets of Rage Remake on Winlator, Android ports (SoR4, Blasphemous, etc, Google Play), and emulation up to sixth gen. But mostly, because emulation is excellent, and because the design makes sense, it is for PSP emulation.
I just download roms, besides the Android stuff and Winlator (older GOG stuff is great on there, usually). Also weird stuff like the Mega Drive Cave Story port.
Also, I think the thing just feels great. Especially the sticks, but the d-pad is surprisingly great too.
No shade, I loved mine when I had it. I'm juuuuuuuust sayin', I got a Retroid and can do the same through an app. And it has an AMOLED. And hall sticks.
If they released a PS2 today, memory cards and wired controllers and all, I would snatch one up. Same with the PSP. Especially if they started producing physical games again. I have a Retroid that is mostly PSP. Highly recommended.
@EvilBear My car has become an XBOX, and crashed into another car what is now an XBOX. I go to call the police, my phone has become an XBOX. I panic, and turn to hold my wife...she is an XBOX...
Those visuals are clean af. So long as I don't need to engage in the life sim stuff, I am sold. Let's hope the launch is smoother. (I do not think the launch will be smoothe)
SMT V Vengeance, Blood: Refreshed Supply, and Final Fantasy Tactics. I started SMT V on my Switch, but ended up getting the PS5 version for the performance (plus, it was $20). Hard to find fault with any of these games.
Blood: Refreshed Supply by a landslide. Prime 4 is wonderful as well but I will be playing that for a long time. I also discovered that there exists a Cave Story Mega Drive port, so I am playing that. So far it is wonderful.
I may be wrong about this, but don't the NPCs in this game just stay in place? I think I remember that this game has a day/night cycle, and that you can advance time, but the NPCs just stay locked in place. Like a remnant of it being an online thing, originally... That's like having a kill/death ratio come up when you finish sidequests.

Yeeeeeeeah I think I will continue to stay away from any game who changes so massively on flights of fancy. They deserve to fail.

Re: Rumoured Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas Remasters Not Expected to Be Out Any Time Soon
@Balaam_ it's not surprising only because it's Bethesda. I've been predicting the same as you said. They'll strike right when the iron is dead cold.
Re: Rumoured Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas Remasters Not Expected to Be Out Any Time Soon
I just want a pretty reminder of when the series was one of my favorites. It's so far gone after 4 and 76, I doubt 5 will do it for me either.
Re: Two Classic PS1 Beat-'Em-Ups Will Throw a Punch at PS5 This Week
