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???
NG Ragebound. Best side-scrolling arcade action game I have played in a while. Vengeful Guardian Moonrider and Steel Assault didn't do it. I guess maybe since Gravity Circuit or Vernal Edge. Anyway! It's great and you should play it.
@Dalamar Of all the compliments I'd give A Hat in Time, I don't think the gameplay would be too high on the list. I played it a long time ago though. It was enjoyable, but I got this strange feeling like the environments were made for a different game.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. I still believe the PS2 R&C games are beautiful, but Rift Apart legitimately looks like a top-tier animated film. It's a tough call between Rift Apart and Demon's Souls though.
I'm sorry man but the last thing I want is for ND to go bigger. At least have Bluepoint remake Jak and Daxter or something. I'm sick of the "auteur" era of ND.
@4fold I'm not sure why this seems so conspiratorial. Either they released a game, then went back and changed content because of pressure from authority or they didn't do that. I have a feeling CDPR can say what they want, but reptilians may have infiltrated the studio.
@Rich33 I set it to 1080p, 30fps target, and unfortunately it's still pretty messy. It wasn't so bad that I got nauseous. But the real issue is that running it at 4k targeting 60 seemed just as rough as 1080 30. Very, very annoying. The world is so cool. Guess I might as well put it down and hope they can finish the work eventually. Le sigh

Re: Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Could Be the Final Frontier for Xbox on PS5

Wouldn't that be a shame...
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.
Re: Preview: We Played Anime Open World Ananta, and It Could Change Everything

Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever

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.
Re: Silent Hill F (PS5) - Brutal Survival Horror Walks a New Path
I think my 18 year old daughter would love this. Hmmm.
Re: New Behind-the-Scenes Video Will Build Your Hype for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

Re: Ghost of Yotei's Very Reasonable Dev Budget on Par with Predecessor
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: Borderlands 4 Dev 'Exploring' FOV Sliders on PS5 Following Player Feedback
Lol yeah no I'm never supporting this studio again.

@get2sammyb I appreciate that.

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?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
NG Ragebound. Best side-scrolling arcade action game I have played in a while. Vengeful Guardian Moonrider and Steel Assault didn't do it. I guess maybe since Gravity Circuit or Vernal Edge.
Anyway! It's great and you should play it.

"Pawsibly." Wow guys.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Yet Another Surprise Patch on PS5
@4fold uh huh. The point is "the company" IS the devs.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Yet Another Surprise Patch on PS5
@4fold ..."the company" as in the devs, or? Just because you want to use sensational language doesn't mean it's fitting.

Re: Overlooked Elder Scrolls-Like RPG Tainted Grail Just Got a Gigantic Update on PS5
@Rich33 PS5. It has resolution options in the menu.
Cause they know, lol.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Yet Another Surprise Patch on PS5
@4fold so CDPR are one of those examples?
