I sincerely hope there is not licensed music...at least not with lyrics. I'm not sure why, but lyrics in my game music is one layer too many for my brain to process. Like at that point the music is agitating and a distraction. Big metal head, but I hope it is just instrumental.
I am playing Wolfenstein: New Order. I have fet like shooting nazis lately, in videogame form.
It's funny that I remember a time not so long ago that shooting nazis felt boring. Or, it was not only "boring," but also, it felt rote, dour, and cloying. It was just killing robots, demons, or zombies (to be redundant), etc was the enemy that we could all agree with. At the time of something like early sixth or seventh gen, it got old. Sigh.
Times change, but shooting nazis feels good again. Cause I haven't played a "military shooter" in a while, and shooting nazi trash is only a good thing. I just did not play military shooters when I was in the ARMY.
Also, The New Order feels like Perfect Dark or Timesplitters, but evolved.
The Halo games up through Reach are damned good. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'd be lying if I said that I don't miss the OG XBOX and 360 era though. That was serious competition.
I respect it, but I reeeeeeeally don't want to play as one of these kids. I also hope it doesn't do what nearly every other online thing does, and screw over players once numbers go up, and then twice as hard when numbers go down.
I knew I was getting it as soon as I heard they were making another one, but I appreciate the review. I want one of these with demons, that isn't a Soulslike. A truly open world Tenchu... Hard to complain though. This is going to be fun.
I can't maintain hype for that long. I am 43 years old. Therefore, I went with "its looking real good." Insomniac is a great studio. I know I'll be getting this anyway. But, man, THAT IS WHY PEOPLE BUY PLAYSTATIONS, SONY! I hope they come around.
@mac_da_man FC was a series I loved from 1-5, but even I spaced the games out a lot. They just hit too fast, one after another. Avatar had the thing where enemies just psychically knew your position if any of them see you. I can't get down w that.
I'm going to have a blast playing this with the kids. I'm not a fan of most anything in the Nolan films, but I'll take an Arkham style LEGO game based on em, sure.
Also, the DC LEGO Villains game is a better Suicide Squad game than the one from Rocksteady. Especially if you play games with kids.
I say none of them. Finish V. Or take that MGS 4 movie and make a game with all those ideas. Mostly, I'd like to see a new entry where Kojima is not involved. Nothing specifically against Kojima, but it would be interesting to see someone else helm an MGS game.
Isn't it impossible to flub tricks in this game? I don't know, it looks really slow and the courses look really wide. Bumper bowling...
It sounds like a whole lot is "coming later," so I will wait on that.
@MFTWrecks MK X changed its in-game, real money store to screw over players after reviews hit. It was reported on sites but the scores were not changed. I still read reviews, but don't take most of them too seriously.
@Ultrasmiles @NorrinRadd The point of the Animus was to create a throughline for the series that made it "annually exploitable." Ubisoft's words. Ain't videogames magical???

So keep waiting for the finished game, got it.
Re: Critically Acclaimed PS5 JRPG Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Updated with First-Person View
This is actually something that might make me pick the game up. I have a thing for switching perspectives, especially in really colorful worlds.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Battlefield 6?
Nope. I don't buy EA games.

Re: Troubled Hyper Light Drifter Dev Cuts Losses with New Game, Confirms Layoffs
HLD is damned near perfect. I have no idea why they are doing a procedural, MP sequel.
Re: Rumour: American Civil War Assassin's Creed Game Cancelled Due to Fear of Controversy
@L_Bosch "Bigotry is an opinion" like arsenic is a flavor.
Re: Rumour: American Civil War Assassin's Creed Game Cancelled Due to Fear of Controversy
Sounds like ubisoft. One of the only recourses some of us have right now is that great art is being made. Have some balls.
Also, I'm proud of people being decent in here. Thank you. Its all so exhausting.
Edit: literally directly after I say that, lol.
Re: People Don't Buy Anywhere Near As Many Games As You Think
I have slowed down, but I'm still more of a four to five a month guy. It is rare that I get anything over $20 though.

Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio One-Year Anniversary Event Announced, 'Special Message' Teased
Time to screw over people that bought the beta version!

Jeff Gerstmann described this game as a mall with no stores.

The Halo games up through Reach are damned good. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I'd be lying if I said that I don't miss the OG XBOX and 360 era though. That was serious competition.

Re: Unwind with Almost 20 Minutes of Square Enix's Stunning Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined for PS5
The 3DS version impresses more, imo.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
AC Shadows and Wizordum.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.011 Out Now, Adds New Quest, Level 100 Cap, Time Skip, and More
Im probably picking this up since its reduced to $41.99 on PSN.
Re: PlayStation's New 'Rewards' Program Goes Down Like a Lead Balloon
Wow. What a sense of pride and accomplishment I could be feeling, if I was a total mark.

I respect it, but I reeeeeeeally don't want to play as one of these kids. I also hope it doesn't do what nearly every other online thing does, and screw over players once numbers go up, and then twice as hard when numbers go down.
Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever
I knew I was getting it as soon as I heard they were making another one, but I appreciate the review. I want one of these with demons, that isn't a Soulslike. A truly open world Tenchu...
Hard to complain though. This is going to be fun.

Re: Promising PS5 Shooter Painkiller Delayed as Crazy Roguelike Mode Is Revealed
@graymamba Did you play El Paso Elsewhere? Akimbot? Evil West?
Re: Promising PS5 Shooter Painkiller Delayed as Crazy Roguelike Mode Is Revealed
I approve. Looks rad.

Re: Avatar PS5 Seems Like a Game Worth Going Back To, Third DLC Confirmed
I wanted to like it. The stealth was just too busted.

Looking forward to this one.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (PS5) - PS5's Best Kart Racer Is Robust, Chaotic Fun
@carlos82 Transformed was Sega's Smash Bros. That game is amazing.

Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': PS5 Pro Has the Worst Version of Borderlands 4
Hopefully people are learning to maybe not buy games from Gearbox.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Adds DLC Clans to Base Game Following Backlash
@darylb24 so you are creating a narrative in your head instead of reading the reasons people provided in their comments. Cool, dude.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Adds DLC Clans to Base Game Following Backlash
So the game was designed around these clans being DLC...
Yeah that bodes well for this RPG.
Re: Mini Review: Assassin's Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji (PS5) - Story Moments Carry an Overly Safe Expansion
I'm hoping the game gets marked down when Yotei comes out.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4 Remake Makes Big Changes, Drops Modern Day Story and Adds RPG Elements
Hey so long as nearly every facet of gameplay and mission design is changed, should be rad!
(Not sarcasm)
Re: 'It Was a Little Callous': Hell Is Us Dev Bemoans Impact of Hollow Knight: Silksong
The combat looks really rough in Hell is US, so I didn't get it.
Re: Despite Legal Dispute with Nintendo, Palworld Plans Full PS5 Release in 2026
@1UP-HUSKY Sony w the PS3, MS w the XBONE, guess it's Nintendo's turn to make sure I skip their console for a generation at least.
Re: Despite Legal Dispute with Nintendo, Palworld Plans Full PS5 Release in 2026
@lazymike yup. They are being especially gross this gen.
Re: Sony to 'Advance Position as Creative Leader in Single Player Experiences'
I hope so. I wish they'd go back to being weird, mostly.
Re: 'Genesis Does What Nintendon't': Sonic Racing Takes Shots at Mario Kart World
@PuppetMaster I was a huge Nintendo fan from NES until Switch 2. They are being gross this gen. I don't see it changing any time soon either.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
@Nepp67 Bro seriously said "code your own engine," when they aren't using their own engine lol.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
I do not like Gearbox and I find this series's humor insufferable and cacophonous.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined's PS5 Characters Are Based on Real-Life Models
@WhoderMan I like the look of Link in WW, but some of the NPCs are so absurd. Honestly, the ones in TP are worse.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined's PS5 Characters Are Based on Real-Life Models
Is that why some of them look so incredibly stupid?
