@Muscleblackcop Are you ok? Do you need medical help?

@carlos82 Oh, don't get me wrong, 5 and 6 definitely were action schlock B movie inspired games. But to me 7 and 8 didn't even feel like RE games. I do think they're good games too, but very removed from what RE is. Very little charm and personality with the characters (a few villains aside).

RE 9 to me looks more like RE than 7 and 8 did.

@DennisReynolds True. Ironically Rob Zombie directed a movie that is very much inspired by it. Not to my taste, but I know this type of horror definitely has its crowd.

@slabula Oh, it's totally fair and I do see why people enjoy it. On a personal level, it's far from the more subtle horror I enjoy, but it did put the series back in the spotlight.

@slabula Fair enough, I guess it's not my kind of horror and not what RE horror originally was.

@Jammer I know, the future looks terrible. Those in power really love 1984.

@DennisReynolds In my opinion Rob Zombie style torture porn is very far from horror. I know some people found it scary, I just found it gross without the fear factor.

Lovely to see the world walking towards larger corporations that monopolise markets. That won't backfire on us common folk at all.

I'm more interested in this one than I was in 7 or 8. Both strayed way too far from horror and Ethan Winters was a wet blanket.

This one seems to refocus on the horror element of the franchise.

"Justin Lin, the director behind multiple Fast & Furious movies" That's enough to have 0 faith in this movie.

@Hyena_socks I agree, that's why I've said what I said.

I've seen a few posts by certain authors hyping the hell out of a game to later say the game didn't live up to expectations. Expectations the individual set in the first place.

I've been checking this website for five years and there's definitely someone who's frequently guilty of this behaviour.

@Questionable_Duck Pattern recognition is not fortune telling.

How is this janky as hell movement jaw-dropping? The animation is terrible and the game is chugging a lot.

Maybe analyse what you're seeing before saying it's the best thing ever?

Some posts here are extremely guilty of hype culture. A a year from now this is game is going to release, you're going to give it a 6 out of 10 and say it was a slight disappointment. All of this out of the excessive hype you built for this game.

Do they get to avoid Erika Ishii's atrocious pronunciation of Japanese words?

I wouldn't play it for free. Hell, they have a free Call of Duty and I never played it.

There's only so much time in my life and I'd rather not waste it with crap.

If you need microtransactions to maintain your game, maybe, just maybe, your game is to effing expensive to make. Maybe you should scale it down to a realistic size/budget instead of trying to take money off of customers without offering a complete product.

No sh*t, Sherlock.

It took them years to notice something that was obvious to most people.

I didn't buy Persona 3 at launch because I thought they were going to do a definitive version of it.

Time passed, I focused on other games, and I still haven't bought it. If I thought that there was not going to be a final version, I would've bought day one.

Extremely controversial opinion:

I agree. I think FFX is the peak of the series.

The characters are more fleshed out (Not Kimahri) than in any other entry, the turn based combat adds an extra layer of depth and Nobuo Uematsu KILLED with the soundtrack.

The only flaw it's how linear it is, but at least it makes sense with the urgency of the plot.

@Oram77 True, they definitely improved as the generation went along. I also see no hope for Fairgame$$$

@Oram77 Quantity and quality are not equivalent.

Although I'm not as pessimistic as some people are, Sony's live service blunder held back the possibility of other better projects.

Concord will go down in history as one of the biggest gaming failures ever.

@themightyant How is it too far consumer focused to let a game have private servers be run so they won't be extinct?

It would cost the companies £0

To me it looks like the union f'd up and made them discuss NDA subjects publicly.

Rockstar took the advantage of the breach and fired them knowing they have the legal right.

If true, the employees lose, Rockstar wins and all due to an Union that doesn't know how to protect their members.

I honestly hope I'm wrong.

@get2sammyb Yeah, I agree with you. I thought about a little bit and if it's the original intent, they're correct. I've deleted the comment.

I still think there was too much leniency with your review, but hey, opinions are different.

Yet every reviewer including Push Square completely ignored its huge flaws and gave a glowing score to it.

Nostalgia should not get in the way of analysis.

That's pretty disgusting.

The internet is generally pretty fast to cancel anyone accused of anything, but in this case we're talking about someone who's actually proven to be guilty.

This person shouldn't get a job anywhere.

I've played solo several times at the server slam and completely disliked it. It's slow, the loot variety was limited and the art style for the equipment leaves something to be desired.

I'm also not that skilled at MP games and more than half of my runs ended up in death and feeling of disappointment and time wasted.

I also think it does the extraction shooter bit quite well, it's that I've learned that for me this genre is very unrewarding and it feels like I'm not progressing quite frequently.

I hope that those that like the genre enjoy it, but I think due to their punishing nature, extraction shooters might have a more niche appeal.

@DarianStarfrog If you think that's true, you're very naive. The developers bit way more than they could chew, and a lot of the game's issues came from their lack of ability in programming. It was their first project, and a very messy one.

@Dalamar Doing a poor job with the dubbing is the developer's fault not the customer's.

They could have either spent more money with a better studio or not dubbed at all to avoid backlash.

I found it extremely slow and boring. But it's also very good looking and there's clearly a lot of effort in it.

As long as the transactions don't become predatory, I hope it succeeds for the sake of people that like this genre of game.

This game looks like classic UE 5 slop.
Choppy character movement, lack of impact with weapons and neutered colours.

It's looking even more generic than the Oblivion remake.

Yes, Nintendo with their 155 million Switch units sold is quaking in their boots.

The Xbox failed because of this mentality of trying to be everything. Thinking that TikTok and a console are direct competitors makes no sense.

Instead of focusing on a market, they're trying to penetrate every one and failing at most.

What would be the point of a Playstation if it had no exclusives? By that point everyone might as well own a Switch and PC.

Xbox has done that and everyone stopped seeing the point of having one.

Amazing selection for extra! I'm glad they sell premium games separately because that tier doesn't justify itself.

The effects of Stop Killing Games are being felt even before it's officially discussed in the EU.

This initiative will really be a victory for us all.

Silent Hill 2 and V Rising? Wow, Sony is delivering this month.

As someone who owns all consoles this gen, Switch 2 excluded, I believe Sony with PS Plus Extra offers the best value of all of them.

@Darude84 And Metacritic is the lord of judgement?

It's a an opinion aglomerate of dozen of self proclaimed critics.

I don't think the games are complete trainwrecks, but both were underwhelming in my opinion.

And that's the keyword, opinion. If another person thinks it's a complete trainwreck, it's entirely up to them.

Metacritic is no more right than your perspective or mine.

This is the least excited I've ever been for a new console generation. This was a generation of empty promises, lack of first party support and not much in the way of innovation.

I'll probably buy the new console 3 years down the line when it actually has games.

Slimy but still better than coming out with a "Refantazio: Royal Edition"

@Oram77 As a fellow Destiny player I completely agree. When I saw that they were developing a new game I was excited. The moment Marathon dropped my excitement was completely gone. Everyone that I know that plays Destiny had the same sentiment.

The worst part is that a lot of them including me were disappointed with some of Destiny 2's issues flaws, so we were open for something new using Bungie's undeniable talent.

Marathon is definitely not the answer and they seem to be insisting on a ship that has sunk even before it went sailing.

@dskatter Nice scale hahaha

The thing is that they massively dropped the support for Destiny 2. The Final Shape was arguably their best expansion ever and The Edge of Fate was so bad and void of content that the game is registering record low player counts.

It does seem like they shifted their focus from Destiny to Marathon.

I don't understand how Bungie thought this was going to replace Destiny.

Extraction shooters have a niche appeal and this game's style and gameplay seem to attract a much smaller demographic than Destiny did.

It should've been a smaller concurrent project with a possible Destiny 3. This game might kill Bungie.

@Oram77 I would agree with you, but with the Gamepass absurd price hike and the sheer number of cancellations and tier changes, a lot of Xbox users are probably going back to buying some games.

Great! I'll buy everything at a discount price 2 years down the line

@EVIL-C Nintendo released a Mario Kart that is vastly inferior to the previous one for £80 and a Donkey Kong that was solid but with a DLC that was £17 and it lasted for 2 hours.

Sony at least releases solid first party titles.

As I said before, Sony wins by doing nothing and that's exactly what they did. Still better than Nintendo and Microsoft.

Microsoft and Nintendo are competing hard this gen to see who is the absolute worst to their customers.

Currently Sony is winning by doing nothing.

What an entitled moron.

They owe you absolutely nothing.

If you don't like waiting, play other games.

@Rich33 Agreed. It's just people trying to insert their extreme politics in games from developers that wished to play no part in such discussions.

@ShogunRok Yes I can totally see it. Your negative points about this game mirror my opinions on the previous ones.

There's so much potential but everything drags on for too long, it really looks like they're close to creating a great game, but not quite there yet.

I too hope they succeed, as the blueprint for a fantastic game is there, they just need to listen to feedback and sort out the kinks.

Can they at least wait until ME 5 is out? It's BioWare's last chance to survive, if that project doesn't come out, that's it for them.
