The Mediocre White Dude camo is the sneakiest camo of all...

Can't tell if embarrassing or charming...

Maybe if they fix the performance.

Excited for this one to make me feel real old, lol.

I'm looking forward to getting lost in this one. I don't do a lot of these big AAA games. I spent almost 120 hours w Doom just recently, so I'm glad to have another giant game to look forward to.

I am all for a handheld. I play almost exclusively on my Switch and Retroid, as the latter can stream PS4 and 5. I get that a lot of people prefer the big home theater experience, I just zone out of reality better w a handheld and some decent headphones.
I will usually try a game on my TV first just to get that experience when it's a big AAA game. It's like back in the day I'd always play SP before trying split-screen so I could see the game's actual fidelity first.

LEGO DC Villains was the better Suicide Squad game, and this looks pretty damned rad too.

Im excited for it. I enjoyed the first way more than recent fallout bs..

I want to give this game a shot, but I wonder does the game have actual quests or is it all "what you make it?" I probably won't obsess over trading or building or mining, etc. I need a good reason to do stuff like that in my games. So are there interesting quests and stories or is it all emergent?

@Pat_trick the protagonist named "Fire," lol.

As far as I'm concerned, the damage is done. I have zero faith they won't wall something else off to make up for their perceived losses. To me, it seems they were already on their back foot and should have tried their best to win back some trust from the audience. They're treating this like some Star Wars release. As if Vampire the Masquerade has tens of millions of fans that will just buy anything, no matter what. There's probably a good number of cosplayers and frequent con attendees for which that may be the case...but this is not Pokemon. I'm willing to bet that most Vampire the Masquerade fans are following this game pretty closely, whether they are way into videogames or not.
Just stupid decisions all over with this one.
I hope it's great. It's all uphill from here...

@Northern_munkey Then it's a most likely a you problem, ya know? Nostalgia making current games look worse. I could suggest things all day that would otherwise fill those blanks but you'd probably just say "I played it/saw a video/read an article, it's not for me."
Super Wooden 2 is very good.

@Northern_munkey There are lots of those. You should take some time to look.

I'll get the ground floor version digital then the complete version on a cart in a year or two, hopefully.

@Vyse_the_Legend Enjoy!

I know I'll be nose to the grindstone with Silksong, but I'm definitely getting both.

@nessisonett I'm guessing that they won't understand that the players who've made insane videos of Skate 3 to kind of spread the word were doing it because the physics were so nuts, and they will instead take the message that players want an easier way to share on SM.

@Mr_Singh Same as it ever was. If it is successful or not, it will get extortionate and then die unceremoniously while everyone tells EA how they should've done it. And most likely, those people will be right.

@Bentleyma Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, those two NFT games, Hooters: Road Trip, a whole bunch of Rabbid games, AC Unity, and Watchdogs. But yeah a lot of times they are at least competent. I usually burn out on them as they get too repetitive and long in the tooth.
I also think the early AC games play terribly, and played terribly when they were current, even. Yes .Black Flag included.
They do a lot of scummy stuff and they have a homogenous style of Ubergame that they make over and over and over. I think that's more the issues people have w them.

The future sure sucks.

Timesplitters Future Perfect. It does a lot of clever things. The shooting isn't exactly great, but it's full of fun ideas.

I LOVE stealth infiltration, and this is one of the best to ever do it. Can't wait. Nice to finally be excited for a big game again.
I should download Twin Snakes...

I miss when Sony had competition. It's such a a joke.

Love the backgrounds.

@Gamer83 Yuuuuup. And they're grooming people to view digital games the same as physical as well. There's a little animation that plays when you buy a game now, that shows a cart going into the Switch. Also, digital games have the same icon above them as the physical cart in your Switch. So it's more convenient to physically check the cart now than to do a quick look at your library. They are grossing me out.

@Gamer83 But third parties are doing so well on Switch 2...

Pretty terrible, but that's who NIS is now. Big ol nope from me. I love Ys, but they've gotten to be like Sonic games with there hype cycle. You always know that no matter how much they promise, it will be undercooked while they move on to the next game.

I will give it at least a year to see what kind of BS they are going to pull.

Dropped off at the ball punching and cacophony of quips. Woof... seems insufferable..

This is exactly dead ass on target exactly the wrong game to do that with... exactly. Only us nerds are paying attention to it, and most of us aren't too into the idea of having our arms twisted. Like it's not the Star Wars or Madden crowd, where you can just write-off the people turned off by sleazy ish like this just by virtue of sheer numbers. Im pretty sure a few loyal cosplayers won't care. But I think most people anticipating this game know about the troubled development, by a relatively obscure team, and are already skeptical. Cool. Now ask them for $90.
I don't think this one's going to make much of a mark anyway, but if so I'll just get it when it's $20.

Odin Sphere real gud.

It's wonderful that these established old school genres are seeing a comeback. I often say that I play almost exclusively sixth gen, but I do get a good amount of 2D retro-inspired stuff too. In the sixth gen, most of that was relegated to GBA. We didn't get boom shoots, Metroidvanias, 2D platformers, rarely got a beat em up that wasn't trash or someone saying DW was the evolution of the genre or some such nonsense, and definitely did not get indies on consoles. And that is why GBA rules.

All of the announcements related to this thing have been a huge disappointment.

Said as much elsewhere, but yeah, the DC LEGO Villains game was a better Suicide Squad so makes sense this would be a decent alternative to an Arkham game.

Wow. What an exciting opportunity to monetize!

I just finished it last night. It was fun. He-Man Doom.

Heretic on Retroid w mods, Metal Arms, and I guess I should finish Doom...damnit.

I didn't need another reason not to play this, but thanks.

@Kidfunkadelic83 The ai is definitely no fun in most MK games. I was a nut back in the day, and would play through w every character just for the story...such as it is, lol. MK for me and my friends was a series about secrets. The Krypt was a great way to keep it that way...until they turned it into random loot. But anyway, NRS lost the plot ages ago. I'm looking forward to the supplemental materials, and it would be swell if they had a toggle to fix the ai.

@Oregondan Pixel effects? The particles?

Looks cool. Looks very, very concerned with looking cool.

@OthmaneAD Bamco is pretty greedy bro.

I am pretty easy to please w the classic fps releases. This is wonderful.

A big game I might actually buy. Weird. Glad we will be getting a somewhat fixed version.

@AhmadSumadi "Were it not for certain elements that get people upset"
It was the writing and characters for me. And the puzzles. And quests. Real looker though!

It's just one of those things where if it's popular there's a good chance it will get extortionate and if it's unpopular then it's dead. Sounds stressful.

@Odium I'm playing it on my Retroid, the GCN release. I've bought the game enough times to not feel bad emulating it. It holds up really well. A favorite game of mine as well.

Hexen, Heretic, and Metal Arms.
I also started Skies of Arcadia: Legends. I only ever finished the DC release, and I'm impressed by the amount of added content. It's a real gem.
