@DennisReynolds Yep, I agree — there'll be an add on that will be prohibitive, cost-wise. It'll discourage people from buying it and sticking to digital. Future of gaming looks grim, actually.
I was reading somewhere that there is a rumor that the developers lost the source code. I really hope that's not true. I don't see how it stops them from developing a new game from scratch, but it may explain why we haven't seen a PC port or remaster.
Okay, I've since played Lords of the Fallen the 2.0 update. Way way way better, night and day. I'm enjoying my playthrough, long after I abandoned it when it first released.
I feel bad to have been harsh to some commenters here. I'm sorry! LotF2 looks promising and after all the hard work the devs put in to make the first one so much better, they absolutely deserve the success they earned.
@Coffeeglitch Same, I felt it would rival and exceed Dark Souls, but after playing for a few hours, I was so turned off by it. Just a lackluster game, boring, and repetitive; a glitch machine. The lamp mechanic is neat, but the character models and AI just suck. It's not fun to play it and will not return to it.
@Oram77 I hate to say this, but Japan is expecting a massive earthquake. I was in Osaka last year, and you got a feeling talking to people that they are expecting the worst.
@GigaGaia You really think so? The opening area is cool (Defiled sepulcher), but it just goes down from there. They reused too many assets and I found myself almost giving up after the swamp area. I did finish it, but no interest at all to revisit it. Lies of P is probably the best Souls-like I've played.

Concord-level expectations.

@KundaliniRising333 Good Lord man, yes, I played it the first week and it was a mess. Why are you so angry? Were you on the development team?

Re: Standalone Sequel Mortal Shell 2 Brings Adrenaline Charged Combat to PS5
Looks like they improved the combat. And wow, 60 dungeons! I hope it's a 40+ hour campaign.
Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
Let's be honest. It was a beautiful looking game that ended in 3-hours. I mean, come on.
Re: Bloodborne's Switch 2 Spiritual Successor Could Come to PS5 Yet
@somnambulance wrong, I would hate it even more. This is not a game Souls players want or play. It's not a hate-on for Switch.
Re: Bloodborne's Switch 2 Spiritual Successor Could Come to PS5 Yet
It's a PVPE game. It won't do well overall. Soulsborne players like single-player experiences, not multiplayer only.

Re: The 'Dark Souls of Climbing' Cairn Ascends PS5 in 2025
It looks very good, but I imagine it'll get tiresome after a while. Not all repetition is equal.
Re: Preview: Atomfall Proves a Must-Play Mystery on PS5, PS4

Re: Don't Sleep on Promising PS5 Dark Fantasy Hell Is Us
This looks very impressive. Will definitely play it once we see more gameplay, story elements.
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Is Out Sooner Than You Think, Set for PS5, PS4 This May
@GamerDad66 It'll do okay the first week or so and then dramatically drop off. Zero desire to play this.
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Is Out Sooner Than You Think, Set for PS5, PS4 This May
I don't see many playing this. I think this is purely a cash grab. And many gamers view it that way.

Re: Days Gone Dev Says It Still Plans to Create 'Cool Sh*t' for PS5 After Live Service Cancellation
I really hope they can get to work on a Days Gone sequel. It was the best zombie game I've ever played.

She's a wonderful actress, but this game is largely, pardon the pun, unknown. It won't do well.

Re: Lords of the Fallen PS5 Sequel Prioritising 'Elevated Production Values', More 'Commercial' Art Style
I played it through once, no interest to return to it. There are some neat areas, but ultimately it's a boring slog.
