I don't really like isometric games very much but I love vampires and gothic settings so I'm pretty sure I'll pick this up. However, I think I'll wait til they iron out the finicky bits.
@thefourfoldroot1 Or maybe they just have a different opinion about what "pretty" is. Or maybe female characters don't always need to be eye-candy. But you know, politics or whatever.
I never actually "finished" FO4 and I've always wanted to Platinum it. Since its pretty cheap on the PS Store and with this upgrade, seems like a perfect time to hop back in.
@NinjaNicky I'm not sure what one has to do with other. I don't like the modern Spider-Man movies but that didn't stop me from enjoying Insomniac's Spidey games. Same with Guardians of the Galaxy. Didn't much care for the movies but enjoyed the game.
@NinjaNicky The "or something" is how much we enjoy a game. The Platinum, or trophy hunting in general, is an integral part of the entire gaming experience for many trophy hunters, like gameplay, story, genre, etc. That's what people who "laugh" at others fail to understand. It's all about being entertained and satisfied with my purchase. That kinda is the point. It brings a slightly psychotic smile to my face whenever I get one. That is far from "useless" and very valuable.
It was definitely on my radar, has been since it first released on PC. Can't wait to play it. I'm not even a fan of top-down games, but I love gothic/vampire settings so much, I'm willing to look past the camera angle.
Great news! Let this be the beginning of the end of exclusives. Also, I really hope State of Decay 1 and 2 make the leap to PlayStation, I've always wanted to play them.
@Hellaween Yeah, it could be worse. I have to assume Rocksteady showed their best at the preview event but the response has been pretty unflattering. Add to that the unimpressive gameplay footage released today.
Hard pass. With it's vast resources, R* could have made this into something special, something worth 50 bucks. Instead, we quite possibly got the laziest cash-grab they could squirt out.
@Kidfried Oh, definitely. Just read the YouTube comments. They see a character with brown skin and assume he's African (Because apparently no Middle-Eastener has ever had brown skin), and pull out their "Prince of Wakanda" tripe.
@ATaco Oh, I didn't say YOUR criticism was about race or gender. You're not "fool enough" to talk about it. But let's be honest, the reason people "default" to that is for good reason. All you need do is head to the comment section of any game with a non-male or non-white protagonist and cast and you'll see. Whether that's the Last of Us 2, Forspoken, Saints Row, etc.
And sales doesn't mean that audience isn't buying those games, it could be that audience isn't as big... Yet.
@ATaco When I read your comment, I knew it was something offensive. It's the same type of tripe I see in YouTube comment sections. And I'm sure it's a total coincidence, but I tend to see such remarks whenever the protagonist and main cast are non-male and non-white. "Who are the devs trying to appeal to? That target audience doesn't even play games". So on and so forth...
Unless digital download sales are eventually taking into account, then it's meaningless to about sales figures, because we're not getting the full picture. And to call Forspoken a "flop" without having all the sales numbers is, respectfully, dumb.
I generally like weapon degradation, but it can either be a fun addition or a headache. If the degradation mechanic is similar to what Dying Light has, I'd be pretty happy about it.

Re: V Rising (PS5) - Addictive Vampire RPG Is a Slightly Awkward Fit on Console

Re: Preview: Star Wars Outlaws on PS5 Has a World of Possibilities, But Is Let Down by a Rough Demo
Man, devs must think that we are just incapable of solving puzzles, because so many games just blurt out the solution seconds after coming upon one.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is Very 'Mission-Based', Not Unlike Mass Effect
Unfortunate. I was hoping it would go more "open world", but it seems the opposite is true.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Finally Ventures to PS5 Later This Year, Trailer Gives First Look
Unfortunately I have to agree with a lot of the comments. That art-style, though I don't hate it, I'm just not feeling it for Dragon Age.

Re: Excellent PS5 Game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Joins EA Play on Thursday
I've been waiting to play this. And 6 bucks to do so is a damn good deal.

F that guy.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2024 Announced
@Tecinthebrain Haha! My thoughts exactly! Oh, the irony.
Re: Video: One Year Later, Is PSVR2 Doing Enough?
@BacklogBrad How are you liking it? I'm seriously thinking of buying one.

Re: RPG Dev Piranha Bytes Struggling to Find a Publisher for Next Game
That's too bad, hopefully this doesn't lead to layoffs. I actually like their games, especially Elex. But of course, I don't mind "eurojank".

@Smiffy01 Not sure why you're being sarcastic. Surely fixing errors is important?

Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game
@RBD Can Persians reverse time? Is that "magicwashing" other cultures?
Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game
@RBD How? Because any brown skin character must be African? This is the same nonsense I saw on Twitter.
