Instead of wasting it on pointless things, let's direct that anger toward nintendo for not remaking mother 3. Do you know how incredible that game is??? And it's still stuck on the flippin Gameboy in Japan. There are bigger problems that need to be addressed people come on
Nioh was amazing so its no surprise that the gameplay here was great too. They just need to work on the graphics and framerate. Also glad they added difficulty options so I dont have to worry about adding more holes to my wall
I remember when platinum said they're opening a studio for live service game back when they got the tencent money. Gonna assume that that studio has a buncha new less experienced guys doing this game while the veterans focus on bayo 3 and GG. I couldn't think of any other reason why this game looks so bad. Their mobile game looks way better than this
Part of me will always be excited whenever a major gaming event is coming up. You never know what will happen, but still I'm not expecting anything. I'm just happy to finally see a Platinum game
people really thought sony was just gonna ditch the millions of ps4 owners out there. The thousands who cant get a ps5 because of the pandemic and shortages that everyone seems to have forgotten about. That horizon footage didnt look held back in any way to me
@Ken_Kaniff I'd agree if most final fantasy games DIDNT have completely different stories, casts, worlds, and now different combat systems. They're almost completely different games from one another especially the more recent games like 15, 7 remake, and I'm sure 16 will be different too
Oh whatever. We've been through this already. Xbox simply does BC better than playstation. Oh freakin well. Once the new gen games really start coming in I guarantee BC will fade away in the blink of an eye and beat of your heart. Stuff like this makes me wish developers would just take a big ol hiatus from making games cuz some of you people are very undeserving
A Pinocchio souls like. Such a silly idea is very welcome. It just looks so extra edgy and weird. Pinocchio looks unexpectedly cool and the voice acting is extra cheesey. I'm very hype for this. I'm down for anything that dares to be different nowadays.
I keep seeing this game everywhere and yet I have no clue what it even is. Is there even gameplay? Any articles saying what it's about? What are people so hype about?
With the trademarks, possible leaks, and now this, an announcement is just a matter of time at this point.
I'd love to see a sequel and what new crazy ***** they'd put it in. What do people just want em to do Ratchet and Clank forever? And yea the Spiderman games are great but they're still the same cinematic qte games I've played plenty of times before. They at least tried something new with SSO and I know they can do even better with a sequel
@PegasusActual93 I feel ya man. Ive always enjoyed these games but theyre hardly any different from one another (besides like a dragon). There are many ways to improve and deepen the combat but it always remains pretty much the same. I think Y0 has the best combat
I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really dont get how the bethesda purchase become such a big del. I know they used to be up there with the big boys but havent they gotten a lot of crap not long ago about having buggy games or something? Also the only titles that would suck to see go exclusive is doom and skyrim. I dont even play skyrim but I get how popular it is. Also its not the end of the world. An xbox is $300-$400. Wont take too long to put a little bit of money away for one if it comes down to it.
GTAV and Wild breath are the 2 open world I enjoyed the most. GTAV couldve had more stuff to do but I still had fun with what I was given. I like how random robberies occured, or how I'm on my way to a mission and someone claims they need help only to lead me to some alleyway and try to rob me, and escaping the police will always be a blast.
Wild breath has so many little details and stuff packed into it, its just ridiculous. Like how rain can make it harder to climb or easier to shield surf on the ground, or how I can just be strolling thru the forest and a giant rock monster boss spawns. Also the tools you have and the many combat possibilities are very fun to discover.
@JapaneseSonic Nope. Never said I was. Never felt that way. Not really sure what part of my comment made you think I consider myself better than others for the types of games I play.
Future of Gaming events should just be brand new game announcements. You know, games coming out in the future, and State of Plays should just be deep dives of the stuff announced at the future of gaming. At least that way people will know for sure what to expect from each event
@Col_McCafferty I understand your look on the whole thing. It seems you prefer the story based cinematics and whatnot and thats just fine. Those are still well made games. But when I finish them, my reaction isnt much more than "Well that was pretty good".
I dont hate these games or anything but I wish they stood out more from one another. Horizon for example, may still follow the same open world 3rd person formula, but you also fight giant robot dinosaurs (and other mechanical beasts). You can take off the weapons mounted on their bodies and use them agianst them. You can hijack their brains and have them fight each other. Its still more on the creative side and is something I enjoyed far more than uncharted or days gone or last of us 2.
I dont expect perfect balance between cinematic games and the more classic style games, but I do think the current balance could be better. I would like to see the big name developers take a look at some of the smaller more unique indie titles and such and say "Hmm. Yea lets try that"
Istill put part of the blame on the gamers themselves. At the end of the day theyre gonna flock toward the same god of wars, uncharteds, last of us.
Im not saying these games are bad by any means, but what has uncharted 4 done that the past 3 games haven't? More particle effects? Bigger explosions or set pieces? More drops of sweat on Nathans face? Spiderman was fun, especially MM, but what makes it so much different from the many games before it? Besides the prettier graphics of course. Sushi ghost was pretty good. But apart from the artstyle, and I guess the 1 on 1 duels, that game is among the most basic a game can get.
And now when something unique comes along, something that hasnt really been done before or to as big a degree, its slept on. Or it receives negative feedback cuz it doesnt hold your hand, or cuz it wants you to explore and figure things out, or it requires you to learn and get better. Its like if a game isnt open world, or has the same bland artstyle as the previously mentioned games, or isnt a souls like, it has no chance.
I'm not putting the entire blame on the gamers, but again I do put a good portion of it on them
They say japan studio wasn't bringing in enough bread. People slept on their games but were wide awake for God of War, and spiderman, and uncharted and sushi ghost. And I'm not crapping on these games. Yes they are good games but let's be real. They do pretty much nothing that we haven't seen already and just have more pixels, or more particles during an explosion and more wrinkles on a characters face or something. And when something unique and creative is made, it gets crapped on for being too hard or having controls that no one even bothered trying to figure out or that the game didn't hold their hand and tell em what to do every 5 minutes. Well this is the result.
I don't really care for metal gear like I used to, but I'm gonna need fromsoft to handle castlevania. It's literally cookies and milk, peanut butter and jelly, burgers and fries and whatever other food combinations you can think of. I'd like to see what other Japanese studio would do with it like cappy or team ninja even, but fromsoft NEEDS to be the ones to take over castlevania
This is the game awards. Not the oscars. Youd think they would maybe get some gaming voice actors to host or something. Whatevs. I just hope the premieres will be good
The only thing I like about digital is the convenience. I don't have to go out or wait for a mail delivery. Nothing to make me choose it over physical. I love collecting games and the feeling of popping open a new one and inserting the disc will never get old to me. Also digital prices are insane. Why is sekiro still 60 bucks?!
I highly doubt these votes are even counted. End of the day whatever game the guys running this want to win, will win. No point in getting upset or anything.
Ok this is just stupid. Like, very flipping stupid. No web browser? What exactly DOES this thing do? I know the games are what matters most but yo this thing is a freakin skeleton right now. Its doing the complete opposite of what Microsoft is doing right now. This explains why they took so long to show off the system. THERE WAS NOTHING TO SHOW OFF
@djlard you've pretty much listed them all for me. Dmc5 was stressful. I had to redo so many hell and hell missions. I don't even get the purpose for speed run trophies. I hate games like Yakuza that require you to suffer thru all the stupid mini games and whatnot, but to this day metal gear rising is still the worst set of trophies I've seen for a game. The requirements are absolutely insane. I doubt the devs themselves can do it
Meh. I've platted a few games with similar requirements. Its only tedious when you're counting and keeping track heavily. Kill 2000 enemies. Perform 200 techniques. After your first playthru you probably already killed over half of that and only have to do a technique 30 more times or less. If you want tedium try platting a yakuza game. Or maybe bloodstained. There are much worse trophies out there lol
I'm not worried but also I am (lol). I'm pretty sure the ps5 will have the features I need: youtube, twitch, trophies, screenshots, themes, etc. but having no confirmation about anything is bugging me a bit. Starting to make me think it'll launch with very little features and well have to wait for all the updates. Lack of communication can get very worrying in the game industry
If one had 60 bucks to fork over for a new game 10 more bucks really shouldn't be that much of an issue. You also must have a bit of money to spare if you're always buying a game new. Just wait for a price drop. Buy a few other cheaper titles to hold you off until that price drop. The increase is lame but its not THAT big a deal
I'm sorry but this doesn't look good. I mean, the artwork is really nice, but it seems so lazily thrown together. A cool idea would've been to do the same as the deluxe edition but have vergil in the center with a smug look on his face. Like a "I'm back b****s" look, while Dante and nero are on the sides staring angrily at him
I dont think the ps4 had many great themes compared to ps3. A lot of the dynamic themes sucked and a lot of the good ones were locked behind some kinda special promo or a game or something. Hope the ps5 will be better
@Anti-Matter I've had that as my theme since I bought my ps4 back in 2014. Love everything about it. It's simple (and clean), the soothing music, the sound effects. It's really one of the best ones
I'm just upset that capcom scrapped it without saying anything. I mean yea it was pretty clear it got scrapped but at least throw a tweet out saying "yea we ain't doin this no more"
If it played my ps4 games at a higher res and framerates then maybe but I really dont care. I wanna play ps5 games in my ps5 not so much my older ps4 games that I've played already
