I didn’t recall that there were so many different enemies in the game. 56? That’s amazing by today’s standards and it’s cool that they’re earnestly working to recreate so many of them. I’m really excited for this one, both in terms of feeding nostalgia and seeing what new ideas and innovations they bring to the table.
Some of those X-Factor abilities sound like they could be real game changers. It’s left me curious enough that I might actually decide to invest in this year’s iteration.
As was said above, nobody seemed to complain when Peter Parker didn’t look like Tom Holland in the recent Spider Man game. I personally like the fact that the developers took some inspiration from the Ultimates comics. This title’s a long way off from release. I think there’s a lot to see before any kind of firm judgements can be made one way or another. That said, I’m sure there will be a number of Marvel fans that will be disappointed because one or more unspoken wishes weren’t met by the final product.
I loved Until Dawn. I’ll likely stick to solo with regard to my own first play through, but you have to admire the work the developers have put in to make the game a compelling cooperative experience. Really looking forward to it.
Picked up a copy of Divinity: Original Sin 2 a week or so back. I fired it up this weekend and promptly got absorbed by it. So, that...along with some Dark Souls on the side.
I’ve neglected this game for the last few weeks, but I may need to fire it up again. Give it another try. It never got its hooks into me like the Left 4 Dead games did, but you can tell the designers put a lot of heart into it.
@PC-Gamer1234 “What are you people doing with your life.”
We’re enjoying some quality gaming on our PS4 consoles. And we’re being appreciative to the staff here at Push Square for steering us away from crappy games.
Yep...another DayZ stalwart who joined the site a little over an hour ago to scream about how unfair this place is to his favorite game. I’d almost forgotten how amusing they are.
I’ve started into The Sinking City and have enjoyed my time with it so far, so I’m planning to delve into further mysteries over the weekend. When I’m tired of sleuthing, I’ll continue my treasure hunting run with the Uncharted Collection.
Overall, this sounds exactly like the kind of experience I had hoped it would be. The technical issues will probably require some patience, but I’m still looking forward to diving in later this week.
It sounds as though CD Projekt Red is applying the same design philosophy to Cyberpunk that they held for The Witcher 3, which can only be viewed as good news given the quality of The Wild Hunt and its subsequent expansions. This really looks to be an amazing experience.
I’m glad to learn that the great majority of the game is playable in single player mode. I think that’s good news for a lot of people, self included. Problem is, I’m just not very excited for this so far, despite really enjoying a lot of the MCU movies. Maybe that’ll change as more is revealed. In my mind, Spider Man really set the bar high for super hero games. It’ll be a challenge to match that level of quality.
Prior to the recent coverage, I have to admit that this game wasn’t on my radar. But what I’ve learned so far has me genuinely intrigued. It’s one I’m going to be watching over the coming months.
I’m really encouraged by the fact that it’s CD Projekt RED that’s crafting this. One thing that consistently amazed me about The Witcher 3 was how narratively unique each quest was, including the side quests. Each situation you became involved in had a unique story. It really made the world, as a whole, feel alive. If Cyberpunk is of the same quality, there’s definitely reason to be excited. It, and DOOM Eternal, are the two games from E3 I feel I can pre-order with confidence.
I’d have to echo the thoughts about The Witcher 3. If Fallen Order’s combat resembled it, I could see myself really enjoying the game. I wouldn’t object to a more tactical, Souls like experience either, but that might alienate some of the more casual audience.
Okay...maybe instead of a forum group, we need to start a support group for the DayZ advocates. They could have meetings where they affirm “It’s okay to like a bad game sometimes” and together, they could talk through the hurt caused by a harsh review, so they can help one another get on the path toward healing. It could be very, very helpful, especially for some of the newcomers.
Maybe we could start a forum topic for all the folks that just suddenly appeared called “DayZ Defenders”. Then they would have their own space to discuss what an incredible achievement in gaming the standalone DayZ is, how PS4 processors blow out of consoles if you look at them wrong, and various tips and tricks for disrupting peaceful online communities.
Am I the only one that finds it interesting that several people in this thread appear to have joined the site specifically to comment in this discussion, either to defend DayZ, or to insult the PS4 hardware for not being powerful enough to run it?
@Flaming_Kaiser Preach! If you can’t get the game optimized for PS4, don’t release it for PS4. In the meantime, there are plenty of higher quality titles to occupy a PS4 owner’s time.
I truly hope that’s what it means. I think Larian Studios would do a fantastic job with the property. A new Baldur’s Gate, done right, would be amazing.

In it for the box alone. I might not even install the game.

Re: Infinity Ward Refutes Claims Activision Is Forcing Studio to Make Modern Warfare Darker
You actually have to wear genuine night vision goggles to see what’s going on in the night time missions. Adds to the immersion.
Goggles come with the Day One Edition. Only $249.99.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's Incredible Soundtrack Can Be Pre-Ordered Now, Coming Next Month
