@KoopaTheGamer it literally looks like an asset swap.
I'm sure its not because they are well versed at this point at litigation, copyright laws and how to get around them, but I think this kind of development shouldn't be encouraged.
I think if you're playing something low stakes its fine (I like Balatro or Slay the Spire on mine) but I'd never play anything with a high skill ceiling as you basically are going to take hits due to input lag, especially in games where you need to rely on parrying.
Great stories in their games but I think from what I've seen, the gameplay is going to really hit here.
The evolution of their gameplay across Uncharted 1 through to 4, and TLOU>TLOU2 is honestly night and day. they've tightened up so well. Hopefully this is a continuation
I can see a patch fixing some of those combat issues you mention, and perhaps the performance but it sounds like the player choice is poor and probably baked in and impossible to scrape out/improve.
I have no issues with how anybody plays a single player game whether its with God mode activated, with a guitar hero controller or with their pants around their ankles
It feels like a wave of amnesia has hit gaming press.
It felt like maybe, a decade ago?, people just stopped reporting on what he said because he just guesses and talks nonsense and doesnt know what he's talking about.
Then suddenly, the last year, I'm hearing his lukewarm takes again. What gives? Either journalists have collevtively gone insane or a new wave of journalists who don't remember this grifter from the last 10 years ago are posting about him without the background knowledge
Its ridiculous that games are performing worse on this machine, it makes everyone look bad. Sony for selling the console, the devs for launching the game in a bad state.
well deserved. I hope that the extra money will allow them to polish some of the rougher edges off the next game, for example the weird platforming challenges that were in the game that felt a bit broken.
@nessisonett I was going to make a comment about how the game was set a decade before it came out so has this sort of weird nostalgic touch to its dialogue etc so it wasnt really cringe but I just did a quick google, apparently its set more or less the year of development.
thats insane, I played it on launch and always just assumed it was supposed to be set in like 1995 or something and its dialogue etc was kind of cringey because it was supposed to be indicative of how people were talking a decade before.
I really appreciate that titles like this are reviewed here. I love a bite sized game but the PSN store ai slop churn of recent years makes it really difficult to pinpoint so any help is much appreciated.
Finally playing Cyberpunk again after originally playing Day 1 PS4, on PS5 with my imported save.
Alright so far, and picked up the DLC to try also, however, a lot of the trophies seem broken. The game randomly autopopped 4 when I booted it, and now most of the base game trophies wont unlock. The DLC ones work though. Very weird
There's no reason why a wrestling website would be able to find this out, people are pointing towards the fact that AEW is broadcast on WBD channels and HBO Max but it just seems so unlikely even if a wrestling site has some insiders at AEW, that anyone there would be aware of this kind of deal.
The Variety piece is interesting and builds on some previous announcements they had made around their gaming division months ago
@themightyant I think in the past, if a game was a 7-9 you might buy it.
I think now, you have infinite free to play and live service games you can play forever, an almost infinite library of games on plus, so there isnt really ever a moment where you're going to give something a chance.
@wildcat_kickz yeah I wonder if everyone is walking into a trap chasing this trend.
Personally I've always found handheld gaming to be a pain. The consoles are always too big and expensive to use on public transit, so that only really leaves long car journeys to use it so if you're the driver, well, I guess theres none?
The conversation has completely changed. You see it with Mindseye.
People arent saying "looks bad" or "maybe ill try a demo". People straight up say "I will try it WHEN it lands on Plus". Not if. WHEN.
People know, sales will be bad and they will try to recoup by selling the licence to Sony or Microsoft. And they know the worse the sales, the sooner that will happen.
@AdamNovice i like licenced music and dont care to have some dingus in the bottom right of my videos yelling "lets goooo" after every announcement so im fine thanks.
@BearsEatBeets he was in a really popular melodrama for like 5 years, its one of those weird shows that was simultaneously incredibly popular, won loads of awards and ive also never met anyone whos watched it
@LikelySatan It is absolutely wild to completely misunderstand why 90% of the entire planet bond over sports and competition, and then top it off calling the author and by extention almost everyone on the planet except yourself a loser.
I think everyone who's read your post thinks someone else is the real loser.
They got the rights for these properties, presumably for a cost, and instantly their leadership announced them even though no work had been done to try and fluff up their stock price.
The Iron Man game has actually worked out but presumably a year or so of trying to get this Black Panther game going, nothing interesting/fun came up so it gets "cancelled". I suspect it never really existed in the first place.
It specifically highlights some outfits but not others.
I thought maybe the idea was to highlight outfits tied to mimes as most of them are in this guide but then I found a few mimes in levels that arent listed in the guide as well.
Its been good for journals and music tracks though, I've got all the music now and just need to beat some optionals for the last few journals

Re: Palworld Dev Is Publishing a Metroidvania Action Game with Strong Silksong Vibes on PS5, PS4
Jeez its like they took hollow knight and just asset swapped a generic anime witch into it.
I know its legal to do stuff like this but why aren't the Palworld team interested in originality at all? It's just disappointing.
Re: Poll: Is Fallout 4 Underrated, 10 Years Later?
I hated it.
I don't like the lack of dialogue choice and I think the radiant quests are one of the worst things ever put into a Bethesda game.
I also dont like the base building, which would be fine if it wasnt painfully obvious that the rest of the development suffered to include it
Re: Hands On: PS Portal Is a Whole New Device with Cloud Streaming Update
@1970sGamer I completely agree with them.

Do you think this is fixable?

Re: 'People Are Really Going to Want This': The Outer Worlds 2 Dev on the RPG's New Third-Person Mode
@Balaam_ I agree. Same with the one they jammed into Resident Evil 7 after complaints as well.
Its a diminished experience. The game needs to be designed for one and then thats what you play.
I guess its good that people like to play these games in 3rd person dont feel this but its honestly to me a bad experience.
Re: 'Man, This Is a Terrible Idea': Original Saints Row Director Slams the Reboot, Says He Could Revive the Series

The series is over.
Re: Devil Jam Puts a Heavy Metal Riff on Vampire Survivors for PS5

Re: Silent Hill F Is Another Game That Stumbles on PS5 Pro

Re: GOTY Frontrunner Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Just Keeps Selling, Cracks 4.4 Million Copies
@DETfaninATL very unique story, well created world, good characters and acting from the VO and mocap cast.
if you dont like turn based you wont like it. you do have to play the game and the combat is entirely turn based
