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.
@KillerIsD34D I tried but returnal leaned too much into the roguelite aspect for me to truly enjoy it. I managed to beat the firrst 2 biomes iirc. Then it just became a near unmanageable bullet hell. So I missed most of my shots which dragged fights out. When it comes to shooters on console.I need aim assist and strong one at that to be acceptable. Thats why I prefer mouse and keyboadd for shooters that demand precision. Even then I'm just passable. It has been so long since I last tried it and I haven't felt the urge to try again. I'll keep in on my pile of shame.
Welp no need to wait on an improved pc port for ghost of yotei then. Looks like.my bas eps5 will gazher dust considering that they seem.to focus on the pro so much. Just saw a comparison between resident evil requiem.on ps5 vs pro and it made realise just how bad that impulse buy was. So now both my series x and ps5 are gathering dust. It is absolutely sonys right but it just sucks that they tease us with ports and then take it away. Looks like I'll miss out on saros too as shooters rarely feel good on controller imo.
@Marquez I'll definitely keep an eye out. The 2 maps during the slam were already filled with content and from what I hear there'll be even more stuff to see and do. So I dont think wellbe starved for content. Cryolabs will definitely be much more difficult from the sound of it. As long as I can enter it solo I'll most likely get it day one. If not I'll wait for the first season or second season. Anyways I'm looking forward to it. The get in, grab loot, and get out loop is surprisingly fun and rounds can lasts from a few minutes to 30 minutes max makes it less tedious once you inevitably bite the dust
@thechetearly same i managed to squeeze in a surprising 15 hours in the server slam. My expectation was that I'd be playing it for maybe an hour tops. However before I do oull the trigger on buying it, I need more info on the endgame raid map (cryolabs). If that can be done solo then It will be a buy. I played the server slam solo and really liked it.
Marathon will do just fine, because it's fun and it feels great to play. Highguard didn't interest me in the slightest despite being f2p. The reason being that it just looked bland. Marathon on the other hand has a very distinctive style (which seems to be a marmite thing buut that's another topic). Plus I really liked the server slam, I managed 15 hours due to work and other stuff. But before the slam I would've never guessed that i would even manage 15 hours
@Gribbon stopped pre ordering but I'll probably get it day one. Despite doing mostly solo runs and dying quite alot I'm habing more fun than I anticipated. Can't wait for the whole concord 2/ its dead narrative to die and for the usual suspects to move on to the next thing they can hate.
I mean if you release pc ports years adter, chances are people will have already played it on console. Double dipping on 70 dollars expensive games just aren't on the cards for many. I personally now wait for the pc ports and stopped getting games day 1 on console. So yes I missed out on yotei and waiting for the steam release.
I will be playing the marathon server slam instead as I'm more intrigued anout that game. When it comes to Horizon I would have preferred if they went all out with the stylized style, akin to into the spiderverse for example instead of this milquetoast style. Or keep the realistic style from the single player games. Or maybe something similar to no rest for the wicked.
Btw skate 1 2 and 3 are backwards compatible (atleast on xbox) and as far as Im aware 1 amd 3 can still be bought..... just saying. We deserve better than this cashhrab excuse
Nah stopped after the buggy season 1 nonsense. Hit boxes were at times sooo bad it was nearly unplayable. Nightvision shoudbeen there at launch but whatever. Im done with drip feed limited time mode multiplayer shenanigans. Me and my friends were looking to make it a mainstay but we dropped of it faster than expected.
I havent renewed ps plus amd the xbox equivalent for years now. So them raising the price wont affect me on that front. On the games side of things I rarely pay day one prices as those are already getting way to expensive with many games costing 80-90 in their base versions. So if I really wamt a game day one its either through a reseller or through sales. Only exceptions are indie studios. For example reanimal was a day 1 buy. Though that was also only 40. Thanks to the AI "bubble" it's only gonna get worse. Can it even be called a bubble or ha sit evilved into a black hole. It certainly feels like the latter
Man that looks great but not 230 bucks great. Seriously the pricing on gaming stuff is just way too high. Anyways. Despite not beign a fan of the genre Im gonna be giving the server slam a try if I get the time.
This game does soooo much I have a strong feeling that it will be a technical catastrophe. No way all these very complex systems work together flawlessly. It just seems too good to be true. I think this will be a jack of all trades kinde deal. Nothing will really stand out in the end. We'll have to wait and see.
Interesting to see many disliking the artstyle, when its the only thing that has me interested to watch a couple of matches when it releases. I didn't get to play the beta tests so I missed out. If it were pve only then it would be higher on my wishlist. But extraction pvpve is something I cannot find any enjoyment in no matter how hard I try. The extraction part is the final nail for me.
@J2theEzzo nah never found it as I gave up before that. I found the guy on the brifge before yellow sage also pretty much impossible and stopped trying. I'm not gonna go back to try. I nearly quit during the tiger boss. After beating him I was just glad it was over. The fact that weapon upgradss come this late is wow. Just nah. I managed to beat elden ring prepatch but wukong sekiro and lies of P are all above me. It's ok though If I do wanna play a souls game I'll just return to Bloodborne which to this day is still my absolute favorite souls like.
Edit: actually not sure if I found it. Do you get that from the secret dragon boss with the electric clubs? If yes then nope never beaten that guy either as he has what feels like 5 instakill moves. Which come.so fast you can barely dodge them. Its been a while since I played it
I mean take a series that has realistic graphics and focuses on single player exploration and worldbuilding and make it a cartoony mobile game looking multiplayer thing. Yeah.... I love stylized games. But this isnt okami or something like that. This artstyle just screams corporate rush job. If you go cartoon go all the way. Get creative with it. Animation can do sooooooo much more ......
@J2theEzzo I guess but I quit at the yellow sage (the mandatory rat dude in the desert) and haven't felt the need to try and power through. If NG+ is practically required to get a good experience then its even more a no from me. Good thing we all have different tastes otherwise a masterpiece like Sekiro would've failed.
Wukong was such a regret for me. You are so weak in comapriosn to the bosses which are soooo fast and kill you practically instantly. Sekiro demanded pure precision and wukoong tries to do the same but fails due to how the controls feel. Only standout is the art direction and thats it. I really should have done my research for the game instead of getting swept up by the hype. Wont be getting the second game.
Here's my guesses on featured games:
Saros
Wolverine
Valor Mortis
Intergalactic
Control Resonant
Final fantasy 7 remake part 3
Judas
Clockwork revolution
However I wont be watching it live and will catch up once it is over.
I tried the demo but didn't finish it. I think I'm getting to old for modern souls likes. I've lost the willingness to run against the same boss for 100 of tries. Also normal enemies that can 2 shot you and stuff like that. For me bloodborne is till the peak of this genre but then again tastes differe and Lies of P aswell as Nioh bring unique stuff to the table. Currently waiting to see how the new lords of the fallen will end up.
