I'm getting it. But I agree with others. Arise is a low point in the series for me too. Berseria was just something else compared to it. Arise just feels like the cold steel 2 of tales of games. A story with potential but turns out weak. Not to mention all the missing charm from the previous titles like the skits.
@Splat Even they stuggle sometimes with rise getting a mixed reception. But still people would rather play that than this. Me personally am a big fan of soul sacrifice. Sony sitting on gold with that one and they just let it die into obscurity.
@somnambulance This game was solidly terrible. Poorly optimized to boot even on console the game had issues. I can't blame EA on this one. Sales probably got way worse after the first month.
Glad I moved on to PC gaming this gen. This generation is beyond worse than the ps3 one.
Also MS literally offers so much more value if you only game on consoles. You even get starfield day one and perssona 3 reload on their subscription service. While with this trash you get two of the worst games of all time.
@UltimateOtaku91 "I mean look how outdated YS and Trails games still look." Because it's not necessary and they don't look outdated because they are going for a specific style that fits their art. Not to mention they want to make their games able to run on switch without much of a hitch. They've NEVER made games that are graphically demanding because they always prioritized portable consoles.
The music always brings back fond memories of my first time playing these games. Can't wait for this. But for now my schedule is insane with BG3, and soon AC6 and starfield.
@Flaming_Kaiser This is like talking to a brick wall. Just going in circles at this point. You want to stop getting bit by ***** practices like that then stop pre-ordering and falling for the hype train every time. Accountability matters. And if customers don't consider that nor do any research before a big purchase. Then that is also your problem.
I hope the cross save is better than the genshin one. It was so dumb. If you played more than 1 version before cross save became a thing you were locked out.
@Flaming_Kaiser Dude you're not reading what I'm saying. Is it a companies at fault people don't do their part and let themselves be taken advantage of? If people wouldn't fall for such tactics they wouldn't have done that would they? Do you buy a fridge or car without looking into it? So why not a video game? Both are to blame.
Not to mention the insane amounts of pre-ordering that people constantly warn others about. Yet people still do it even after cyberpunk. You people continue to pre-order and gamble when you get bit and somehow you guys are innocent? lol no it doesn't work that way. Investors won fooling people that don't bother researching. That's the sad truth.
lol what with all these liscensed games getting somehow worse. First Golum, then Kong, and now this. It feels like we're back on the 360 era of bad movie tie in games.
"but we're sure it'll shape up better by the time it's out." lol
@Flaming_Kaiser You don't get it. It doesn't matter how long they would have taken to work on the ps4 versions. No amount of time was going to help those versions. Cyberpunk was a PC game first and was one of the first next gen games without a next gen console. BOTH are to blame. The customer AND CDPR. Do your research and you'd avoided getting bit by greedy practices like that.
@Jaz007 I said the PS4 game was a 3/10 game due to functionality and issues. I specifically said the pc version is not and asked you if the only version you played was the ps4 version.
It's more of a lack of realization than being bipolar. Blame goes both ways. If you bought the ps4 version when it came out expecting anything decent that's on the consumer. CDPR was also at fault for even attempting to put the game on those old pieces of hardware. I saw it coming a mile away personally and any person with any tech sense would have seen that travesty coming.
They lost me a long time ago when they started removing expansions and stories you paid for. Making it confusing to follow anything that's happening with the world and not to mention the limited timed story events on seasons you can't interact with.
I'd love a D1 remaster of sorts. That game had it's issues but it got better and better as time went on.
@Jaz007 3/10 game? Did you just play the ps4 version? If that is the case then sure. But by no means was the pc version was a 3/10 game. Not even close. If no mans sky can get a pass now after not having the promised features at launch why can't cyberpunk now? 80% very positve out of 550,000 reviews. With the last 30 days increasing it to 90%. It's time for ya'll to move on and stop hating on a game so much already. Not to mention the expansion coming up is a literal reboot adding even more features.
@RudeAnimat0r You're entirely missing my point. The uproar towards p2w happens and it's usually a big deal. Which is why companies hardly ever attempt such a thing. But regardless if you buy them or not. The chill nature of how some gamers like yourself view cosmetics as a non issue is precisely why they do it. They know even if you decide not to buy them there won't be as much of a push back especially when there's comments like yours. Like I said before companies have people that track behavior on microtransactions and cosmetics are prime for this reason.
@RudeAnimat0r And yet reacting that way is still empowering them to do so. Companies have people specifically for this type of stuff. And they know that people would react that way which is exactly why even if it doesn't sell it'll continue to be done.
Yes your ability to enjoy the game. I'm a huge cosmetics guy. And I've always been one. Cosmetics do affect the experience of a person actually.
This is absolutley horrible. They saw what blizzard was doing and figured they'd do the same. Cosmetics or not it doesn't matter. No skin is worth as much as a game.
People thinking this will run fine on ps4 are in for a rude awakening. Game runs terrible on everything it plays on. Can't wait for the df video on it.
Voted for cloud. Just so much history and his situation is so unfortunate. But he is the most iconic character in the series with the most iconic weapon.
Another article pushing people away from the sky game even though they are important. The whole "people don't have time" is just a lazy excuse. Not to mention your rankings are TERRIBLE. Putting cold steel 2 so high up lol.
