@arzis100193 That's the one thing I don't miss from Tsushima as it completely ruins any bit of exploration especially when you decide to complete every outpost, the game is like "Lets do away everything we set out to do with the game."
8 at best, 7 at worst. I love the exploration, combat, but I'm not really feeling Atsu's backstory because it feels... tropey and cliche with how her and her family acts.
Definitely my game of the month, while sometimes frustrating I enjoyed the combat, puzzles, and Hinako's story. Very much excited to do NG+ on Lost in the Fog difficulty.
@Oram77 Definitely like that they're going in that direction instead of staying the same all the time(Even if there's the pure SH fans that want it to only stay in SH because otherwise it aint SH), the games experimenting feels very fitting for Silent Hill and especially in new locations!
@Shinnok789 Yeah that's my issue as well, but like Oram77 said before P.T. was amazing and it had no combat so who knows. I just hope it isn't as terrible as Short Message. I heavily enjoyed SHf, one of my favorite SH games since 2 and 4. My only issue with it is it dies get a bit frustrating towards the end with the combat and feels a bit too on the nose. Towards the end of the game it stops feeling on the nose which was nice at least.
@Max_the_German That's why I was just wasn't a fan of Cronos, it never did anything new(Especially gameplay wise)and you have people praising the crap out of it. The medium was more ambitious than Cronos imo and I didn't like that game very much either.
Silent Hill f has been killing it for me, its story is so damn good and while frustrating, I've been very much enjoying the gameplay. Especially during a later section of the game.
@DennisReynolds I was pretty disappointed with how quick you get to mount Yotei. I was really expecting to actually climb that, not teleport to a section of it and climb the rest of the way.
@KingPev So far in my first 8 hours it improves on a lot of my issues with the first game's exploration and doesn't feel so straight forward compared to the first game since the quest system works differently where you gain information on your main quest by exploring.
Ghost of Yotei(And SHf) and holy crap this sequel is such a massive improvement over the original in exploration and combat. I still miss Jin, but Atsu is a cool character
@Jammer That's fair, I also thought the same thing with the pictures. Still though I've still been enjoying the puzzles a lot and how prevalent they are compared to the older games.
@Jammer Yeah the comparison makes no sense honestly. The game is really great although some of the enemies are really easy once you figure out that you can just bait their counter attack out. Why do you find the puzzles obtuse though?
Looks cinematic as you'd expect. I know how it goes with COD and BF campaigns but I really hope it is longer than 4 hours. 6 at least, but I'm not expecting that.
@Doctor_BK I tried with Judgement but it's so terribly directed with its voice acting. Everyone has this stupid anime style sounding voice and it makes me cringe every single time.
@ThroughTheIris56 I can see the USB being an annoying issue, but I thought it was fine. You are right though the headset audio would cut out at times and I thought that was an issue exclusive to my Astro A50s but so far it just seems to be an issue with the ps5 in general since it never cuts out on my PC.
@ThroughTheIris56 The sound quality is decent, but the headband that is used to connect the earphones is terrible. Like the moment I started using it the black plastic piece already started disconnecting from the white piece of the headband and then several months later the white plastic part bent completely.
@Darude84 That's fine for you to have, but what does a number tell you that a pros and cons list would other than if it's good? I personally think if the score was removed it would open to better discussion than "Why does this game not get a 8 instead of a 9?"
@Darude84 Just because they include them doesn't make them anymore meaningful. That doesn't tell me anything about the game other than, "This is trash" "It's okay" "This is good." That doesn't tell me what the issues are, what the positives are.
@Jammer That's fair, I just don't think you should be judging a game by a meaningless number it has since it doesn't give you any information on what issues the game has compared to a pros and cons list.
@Jammer You focus way too much on the score which is an issue with a lot of people these days. It is a number, relax, even then 7 is still objectively a good score.
@PuppetMaster It really shows how pathetic video game AI is today when something like Metal Gear Solid 2 has some of the most impressive AI on the PS2.
