@Puketapu for me, I adored the characters and writing, but the missions in this game are just not open to player agency at all. It's a big, beautiful hunting simulator for me.
Know what bodes well? A R* remaster of a legacy game to fill coffers and please shareholders. Wait. (Looks up what the phrase "bodes well" means) Oh. No the opposite. The opposite of that.
If I didn't have a Retroid, I'd grab this. If you can't tell from every other post I make, I have a Retroid 5. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It's basically my Brutal Doom portable right now. Worth every penny. It feels like a slightly lighter and more comfortable Vita, and I haven't seen a better screen on a handheld.
What Stephen said, lol. I've been waiting for an Amid Evil port for a while, and Fallen Aces. Ninja Garden, and patches for Witcher 3 and Tainted Grail, please.
I play my PS5 on my Retroid whenever I can, lol. Big screen is swell but I'll take a portable with headphones in bed every time. Since Link's Awakening. I don't see that changing.
@Imalwaysright maybe Satan. PROBABLY Satan. Anyway, I was saying they do things more ambitious than horse testicles. I also think the stories since 4 have been more interesting than most other open world crime games. But whatevs I'm more a Sleeping Dogs guy.
@carlos82 there was some real nefarious stuff going on with this game's previews. I saw some strangely glowing early looks a few weeks back that were rehashing the trailers, and from people who had obviously not played it at all. They coincided with the timing of the BaRB (oh...) Mindseye "preview event," where the game was widely panned.
@Imalwaysright Ehhhhhh, you're saying R* aren't ambitious? I don't often get on with their games enough to finish them, but I'll concede that they are crazy ambitious. And not just horse testicles. Like I am more interested in what kind of mechanic (like character switching) VI might introduce than anything else.
The "driving, shooting, etc" are bad arguments don't really fly anymore either. Not the biggest GTA guy, but by V it was all buttoned up.
Dayummmmmmm. I would say "That's a shame," but it really seems like it was cooked with hatred, if you get my drift. I would be so down for "Play" type missions in something like Cyberpunk. Just give me infinite dates w Judy, please.
@PuppetMaster literally have a Powerglove tattoo, got every Nintendo system at launch, and woke my kids up early for the Switch 2 Direct. I'm a huge fan. Not buying this and not making excuses. To me, they f*cked up big time and it will take a lot for me to go back. Not every fan is a sheep.
I was hoping it would be a 3DS launch level failure, but oh well. I'm not buying in to $80-90 controllers and games or draconian EULA dirtbaggery. Just sticking w my OLED, Retroid, and PS5 for a while. I have a huge backlog anyway. Really sucks but it is what it is.
As the sole breadwinner in my household of 8, I'm priced out, lol. I'm also probably moving on from my current job to something that doesn't pay as well because I'm sick of getting punched by drugged up idiots. So yeah it will be a miss for me until a sale happens. I loved the first game.
Did one of the TG: Fall of Avalon's devs do a hate crime on the internet or something? Surprised at the lack of coverage from big outlets. Imo it outclasses Oblivion easily, but needs patching just as bad.
I assumed they were doing the remake to train up new talent. It's telling that I wouldn't bet on whether it was those junior employees or senior talent let go.
I still need to grab Clair Obscur, and I haven't beaten Tainted Grail, both of which are $50. I love the studio and the first Outer Worlds, but I'll be waiting on a sale.
@PuppetMaster Have you played any RPGs lately, lol? Oh wait, do you just mean JRPGs? All these pearl-clutching changes seem to be coming from Japan lately. Which makes sense, considering how heavily earlier JRPGs were censored, especially in the realm of religious themes.
I probably played around 120 hours of the first game. I can't imagine what they've done with this game that could possibly improve on the first. ...in fact I don't want to talk about the first game cause it just makes me want to put everything down and play that.
I'm intrigued by Mindseye. Moreso in what kind of trainwreck we will be looking at rather than what interesting things it might be doing. The worst it can be is boring, these days.
Yes please. I've been playing too much AAA stuff, and need to re-install all my great beat em ups. I remember back when the SP film came out, and gamer dudes were fawning over a smart lady with colored hair that dug nerdy stuff. No quicker way to get roasted on the internet these days. I think it turned out a lot of dudes just couldn't handle that, lol.
Put in my vote for Racing Transformed Remastered instead minus Danicka, please. That game should be Sega Smash Bros. It's soooooooo good. I hope this is wonderful. I don't really see why it will stick out.
Day one. I loved this series until it went full WB and begged for money every screen. What I want is MK2 Remix (Mugen), but that won't happen. 2 and IX ftw.
@RobN I love stupid things, and some stupid things I don't love. This one in particular I don't get at all. Shrug. So long as no one flips over my car if their team loses/wins, I'm good.
You'll notice I never said anyone was a loser. That's what you heard, and that means it's on you.
@Logonogo okay, that is stupid. Every team would call themselves "The Pepsi Fizzies" in as much time as a check could be cut, and stop acting like it's anything bigger than that.
I've never understood going for one team or another unless you have like relatives on the team or they play the game the way you think it should be played or something. All those players are not from the cities the teams represent...so you just like horses better than eagles or something? It's never made any sense. I can enjoy the athleticism and love to watch a game, I just don't care who wins. Ever.
I guess that's uniquely prepared me for the post-truth world, where people even vote with a rooting interest versus their own. What matters is "their" team won, therefore they were correct. Loser.
Edit: if you are so smoothe-brained that you don't understand that ending with "loser" was me referencing the previous sentence, I can't even. Get it? Like you are a loser, you loser, because the other team won? Do...do I need puppets?
@ATaco Eh...no one said that besides the insecurities ringing in your head. If you went to a Doom article and said something stupid, I would laugh at you and maybe roll my eyes, but this projection here is way more pathetic. So bye bro. Don't need that toxicity
