I haven't tried it and I don't think it's my cup of tea for a game however devs should prepare especially when their game is online and becomes free like this. Have to expect the player count to jump as interested or semi-interested people would download and try it out.
It's sounding like we may have a good Battlefield game back in our midst however I'm still leery, but I have hope though. It's like how I feel about the new Borderlands game right now as well, hopeful but leery.
I enjoyed the Darksiders series and playing as the 4 horsemen however if this turns into a 'Suicide Squad' style of game, I'm going to be let down tremendously.
That's great EA is going "all in" but you need the consumers to be the ones "all in". Here's hoping this multiplayer reveal is a step in the right direction.
The less of the Cole character, the better. No offense to the actor but no one wanted his storyline in the first movie which dragged the movie down, imo. The more we get back into the characters we know and want to see, the movie will be better off even if it's campy and cheesy.
Guess I'll go back and finish Crisis Core then. I enjoyed the game but the combat got a little repetitive at times so I took a break. Seems like a good time to go back before it's taken away.
A younger (BL2 era) version of me would have jumped on this pretty quick but at some point, this game will be a PSN monthly game or on Extra/Premium so while I appreciate them steering away from the $80 price tag, it's still a no.
@get2sammyb While not embraced by all of America (yet), there's a slang word in the Philly area that can be used for literally anything and it's the word "jawn". Your friend is getting a drink and you want one as well? "Yo, get me that jawn too." Almost get into a car accident? "That jawn almost hit me." Eagles winning the Super Bowl? "The Eages just won that jawn!" It's like the Philly slang version of a noun; it can be a person, place, or thing. May have to sneak that into another post.
@Bluemoon2008 Understood but if their goal is a multiplayer game then make it that. Not this weird blend that doesn't seem to fully mesh. I get that it's new territory for them but it sounds like they are having issues catering to both sides.
Sounds like they made this a little backwards. I haven't played this nor do I plan to but to me, it should have been a solo game with multiplayer options/access rather than a multiplayer game with solo options. These games have always catered towards single players and should have stayed that way.
While I wasn't a fan of Bulletstorm or Outriders (both were ok to me and never played GoW Judgment), layoffs suck. Hope they can bounce back rather than fully close.
After the last few iterations of the Borderlands series, I think those "real fans" numbers are few and far between; myself included. While I have interest in 4, I'm not pre-ordering or even purchasing it day 1 and I'll gladly wait until it's heavily discounted or ends up as a free monthly game for PSN+. Sorry, not sorry Randy.
I bought the PS4 version of CP2077 for $5 at Best Buy back in 2022 on a one-day deal. I got the PS5 upgrade but it wasn't until very recent, like a month ago, that I started the game and finished it within this past week. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, so I'll be keeping an eye on this sequel however perhaps not a launch purchase due to what happened on the first game.
Out of all the video games, whether it's a franchise or a singular title, to make a movie this would not have been my guess. Wouldn't even make top 100 of my guesses. I just don't see this being profitable for anyone involved.
There's usually at least 1 game I'm excited for when this announcement comes out however this is a rare exception where there's nothing for me. This does allow me to go back into the everlasting back log and clear something out.
This seems highly logical for a business model. Huge step in the right direction. I can already see their sales increasing and I plan to purchase stocks in them immediately. /s
@GirlVersusGame I agree with you. BL1 got me as soon as "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" started on the bus cutscene. BL2 had it all - playable characters, villains, story. BL3 was forgettable; nothing really stood out. BL4 looks promising but after 3, I'm hesitate for a day 1 purchase.
I love everything Evil Dead but this game didn't do anything for me. Got a bunch of friends to try it when PSN+ dropped it but none of us could get into it. That's coming from people who enjoyed Dead By Daylight and other similar style games. Said that, I'm glad the servers will be online for those who still enjoy the game. Maybe we'll try it again before it fully goes offline.
I played D1 and D2 pretty hard for a while at launch but fell off a little bit before that big restructure for light levels and whatnot. I tried to play it again mainly for a PS Stars rewards some time back and while the shooting felt great, I was just confused by the game itself. It just didn't feel the same and made me wonder why I liked it for as long as I did. Even though it's no longer my thing, I hope whatever announcement this is, is good for Bungie and the community that still plays.
Are these reviews for the entire 2nd season or just the first 1 or 2 episodes? I thought it was coming out weekly but I'll take the entire season at once, too.
Released would be crazy. I could see announced this week or next but releasing is pretty big. Wonder if it would include all DLC stuff because I'd love to see Sheogorath again.
I had a physical copy of this game for the longest time but never got around to playing it. I finally did a couple months ago and loved the game however I don't see myself jumping back in even with the new content/upgrades. Maybe because it's still fresh for me but does sound like fun for those who are jumping back in.
I played my fair share of Gear's MP modes back in the day so I'm ok without it. Getting shotgun killed from half way across the map still doesn't sound like fun even today. As long as you can co-op the campaign, I'm good.
I remember going into whatever video game store it was back when I was 15 looking for a RPG when I stumbled upon Suikoden. I heard or knew nothing about the game and the original box art and packaging did nothing to really sell it but I took a gamble and very glad I did. The series has been good (for the most part) and even recently played Euyiden Chronicles Hundred Heroes which was well done as a spiritual successor. I'll be picking this up without a doubt; I just hope the potch trick in Suikoden 1 for guessing the dice returns.
