@graymamba I'll argue that war in the north was a top 20 couch co-op game in its era. It has a game breaking bug or two but once you know how to avoid it, it's a damn good time
@darylb24 it also feels like this gen has barely begun and that we've still been in the PS4 gen due to everything having a slow start with the pandemic and scalpers for the first couple years
It's not THAT bad. I was expecting Resident Evil 1 levels of bad based on the comments and story. If it was like that I would gladly play it in English. As it is, it's just kinda meh and I'll probably play in Japanese
@JayJ kinda how I felt about it. It was cool for 3 or 4 sessions of couch co-op with my buddies but after you played all the levels a couple times there's really not much else to it
@MrPeanutbutterz the gameplay, characters, story, and yes the setting were generic to me. Maybe the setting isn't super common in games (I can think of a few games set in that period) but it is in everything else. Just nothing about it stood out to me
@Almost_Ghostly I have very limited time for games and I pay attention to what other people say. If a lot of people say something is bad or mid, I don't want to waste time with it. Besides, if the combat is bad then it's a waste of my time anyway

Re: Rumour: The Lord of the Rings Is Getting a Game to 'Compete with Hogwarts Legacy'
It can't be that hard to make an RPG with an original story set in middle earth. That's what we have always wanted.
Why are there a million other games that can do that sans the setting, but lord of the rings can't?

It's not THAT bad. I was expecting Resident Evil 1 levels of bad based on the comments and story. If it was like that I would gladly play it in English. As it is, it's just kinda meh and I'll probably play in Japanese
Y'all got my hopes up for that. Shame

Re: Mini Review: Hypercharge: Unboxed (PS5) - Aesthetically Pleasing, Disappointingly Thin

Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
@MrPeanutbutterz it felt that way to me. Most places were grey and brown, character designs didn't stand out, etc
Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
@MrPeanutbutterz does every single aspect of the game have to be generic before I can consider it generic overall???
Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
@MrPeanutbutterz the gameplay, characters, story, and yes the setting were generic to me. Maybe the setting isn't super common in games (I can think of a few games set in that period) but it is in everything else. Just nothing about it stood out to me
Re: The Order 1886 Could Have Been a Big Trilogy of PlayStation Games
@MrPeanutbutterz well I thought the whole thing was generic 🤷
