The more I see and hear from thsi game the more I can't wait. Been replaying the arkaham series (without the vr outings) in anticipation. I didntlike skywalker saga as much as I thought I would. I felt that the episodes themselves were too abridged. So if this can avoid that then it'll definitely be one of the best lego games.
It's okay but honestly I'm only playing it because Ananta isn't out yet. Its not bad but so far the main story is not that interesting. Cant start chapter 4 yet due to me not being high enough level. The spinoff episodes are better than the main missions imo. Hopefully taygedo isnt the focus in the future. The second main mission nearly made me quit
I can't get myself to finish Persona 5 roayale so I stayed away from clair obscur. No matter how.many times.I try (recently mh stories 3) I just can't stick with turn based games. Even if they have a 10/10 story and artstyle. There's always this inevitable "I'd rather playsomething else now" point. Once that point is reached usually 1/3 through then I just can't bring myself to continue. Take persona 5 royale again. Im still at the bank palace and just have no motivation to continue.
As good as the rpg AC are. I miss the older titles. The animation system they had made for some really cool moments. Plus adding gear score and all of that would mess with progression and what not. Best they keep the classic system and give that a well deserved spruce up.
I have several Tarot Decks. I really.enjoy the different artstyles so this one will go along nicely with the diablo Deck I have. Plus the artstyle.of the cyberpunk Deck is really nice and I wanted them to make one for the longest time.
I liked their world designs more than their gameplay. Take steelrising for example. It looked fantastic for such a small studio and the budget they had. Sadly the gameplay part felt too clunky imo. Sad to see it close though
It's easy to say " it would've been the best game ever". We never got to see it in action so everyone can imagine their perfect version of the game in their minds. In truth sony felt not confident enough in the project an pulled the plug. I just wish we could stop talking about what could've beens because it doesn't change anything
Has the base game.been fixed or is it still all over the place? I remember trying it out n sereis x (before I upgraded my pc) and my god was it struggling. If you cant hit 60fps fine but then atleast a stable 30.
Lets be honest if it weren't for the name Bethesda and the fact that it was a new IP, the game wouldn't have sold as much as it did and reception would've been more negative. Look at fallout 4 and how buggy it still is. Bethesda could make their games so much better but for that the creation engine has to be retired. As I understand switching engines isn't that easy so I understand why they refuse to do so.
I think it's both. A part is/was unfinished amd then there are additional quality of life updates baked in. I'm glad I held of and am waiting for a sale.
Requiem was fanstastic. Still working on MH stories 3 which started strong but now kinda left me bored (started the 3rd area). Thought I'd hate pragmata but after playi g the demo can't wait to play the full thing. On another note has dragons dogma been fixed? Performance was all over the place on launch
There's always two sides to a story. What is fact however is that the creation engine is overdue for a complete overhaul. Look at how starfield runs and works. It's downright archaic. Doesnt help that starielfs game design is ancient aswell.
It looks cool but as soon as I read procedurally generated levels and encounters together with roguelike all interest went out the window. Good level design elevates a shooter imo.
I played solo on pc, no autofill and quit after 20 hours. Every quest that goes "in one run" are practically impossible. Also the "story" missions are gated behind faction levels. So you do the same generic contracts over and over to level the faction up. Faction progres up to level 10 is fairly quick but as soon as you hit 10 that progress falls.off a cliff and comes to a near complete halt. I imagine if one enjoys grinding then this game will make them happy. Just know that solo you can't to the wndgame map. So yeah......like I said at the beginning I quit and I'm not going back.
@RudeAnimat0r Maybe it's the IP. I played LoL for a month or so and god was it the most toxic and unforgiving game I've ever played. It was so bad it turned me off the franchise as a whole. Maybe there are more people who share a similar sentiment. Plus its a competitive fighter and that can be overwhelming aswell.
I guess I'm in the minority but despite all the fixes, Cyberpunk left me unimpressed, especially the story. I hated Johnny and never warmed up to his story. Adam was a hyped up nothing burger. Jackies death at the beginning was meant to be this deep emotional moment yet I barely knew the guy. It really.missed me with the story and gameplay was just ok. The only thing I like about Cyberpunk is the city design amd graphics. But well that wasnt enough to keep me until the end.
Needing to patch in flying between planets is just damn. That should've been there on launch. But then again this game felt undercooked and rushed. Creation enginge is falling appart and I hope for TES 6 they go with a new engine. Cause this ducktaped together monstrosity feels on the verge of collapse.
I thought Silent Hill f was an interesting take story and visual wise but gameplay didnt make me go back for the different endings. Curious to see how this one shapes up. I just love the experimental nature of these new releases. I think Silent Hill as a franchise can go many different ways and tell many different stories. We need more games willing to new things. Remember PT from Kojima? Despite it just being a demo it basically changed horror games for a while. Suddenly there where all these PT "clones".
The fact that flying to another planet has to be patched in 3 years after the fact, in a space exploration game, should tell you everything you need to know. Heck in Fallout 4 there are several spots where you just walk through walls or fall through the ground. Just walking is enough to break that game. To my knowledge that still hasn't been patched. The creation engine is falling apart it seems. A huge part of me is hoping TES 6 takes so long because they are getting used to a new engine.
I just hope they launch bug free and without performance issues. No use in the minigames when the games themselves laumch broken. Hopefully sony doesn't cancel it, my ps5 has been on hiatus for a long while.
@INeedGoodGraphics me too btother, me too. Catalyst had soem good ideas but the first one was something special. The movement the style......Time time to replay it again ^^
Love the anime style ones, but I'm not jumoing through thisnmany hoops formsomething that should be selectable like any other icon. What where they thinking. On a side note classic Resi 1-3 are now available on steam aswell as breath of fire IV.
Or how about isntead of blaming everyone else you could say: We were in iver our heads amd tried too much with too little experience. We have learned from this amd will use this newfound knowledge to create a game we can truly stand behind.
But he doubles down instead. Oh well it is what it is. Not every studio is capable of pulling a no mans sky.
Like many I'm glad I got myps5 (spiderman edition) on a sale. But this together with the regional pricing just tells me one thing. My backlog is gonna see alot of action now
AI mimicks (steals) human art, now we strike back amd mimick AI art. Wasn't interested in the game initially, then I played the demo. I shouldn't have, cause now the wait is killing me 😅
Successful sony is like successful nintendo, arrogant. Arrogant and greedy. Im not a US citizen but on principals this practice has to be called out. So how does sony decide who gets the "good" discount? Is it determined by titles bought? Size of the wishlist? How long someone subscribed to ps plus and with which tier? Can we just stop with the enshittification of one hobby, please? The state of the world sucks enough as it is. Can we just have one thing that isnt completely screwed? Apparently not. Won't be buying games on ps5 then and my ps plus subscription has lapsed anyway and I won't renew it.
I'll never be mad about devs that fix stuff as fast as they can. Plus communication like this goes a long way. I haven't bought it yet. But from the sounds of it, I'll get a good one when I do get a copy.
Haircut and story aside just looking at the gameplay. It looks like a cheap Senua knock off. One if my favorite souls streamer played it and he struggled with the combat. It just looked so sluggish. Like you have flashing weapons which tells you when you can parry but the window seems inconsistent. Idc if there's a medieval lesbian plot that's fine if done well. Actually there's alot of room there for a really good and emotional story. But it seems they fumbled that too.
Solos in this game was clearly an afterthought and it shows in the balancing of the AI enemies and the frankly insane contracts. I've already left this game behind due to the insane grind. Bungie clearly wants this to be a team based game. They shouldn't have added solos. I'm actually kinda regretting the time and moneyy I spent on the game thinking just because they added solos I'd be able to do cryo. It kinda feels like false advertising in a way. Their wishy washy language leading up to cryo didn't help.
After putting in 20 hours or so in solo since launch, I have given up. Solo is clearly an afterthougth and a part of me wishes they didn't give in to demand. Also since cryo is unavailable solo, I'm locked outnof content. The social features requi5are not there to fidn a good group and I really dotn wanna play with strangers. So yeah I had some fun but now that hoenymoon phase is over I moved on. I just hope bungie either steps up their game for us solo players because some contracts are straight up torture solo.
The fact that the solo mode is sooo undercooked made me quit tbh. Now I'm also learnign that I wont be able to play cryo simce it can't be done solo. That fully kiled the game for me. I got 20hrs out of it which is more than I expected but still. Artstyle is fantastic but I'm done. Maybe I'll return when solo mode has been given some much needed love and care.
I need to see more but as marathon showed me, I can dislike what I hear and see from trailers but when the game's out things can change. I hope it finds an audience, we definitely need more crazy and creative games like these, even if they tend to fly under the radar
@Javafriek That's how it should be. If you like something you buy it, if you don't like it you dont buy it. What matters is enjoying the game you bought and that you feel liek the spent money was worth it.
