Goes to show you what Ubisoft can achieve when they actually finish and go for quality. Probably the last Ubisoft game that did so, honestly, which makes it even more frustrating. Don't know what happened to this dev team, but if Ubisoft decides to make another Driver game I have zero expectations.
Edit: Ubisoft Reflections apparently. They've done work on various Ubi games.
They're responsible for the Grow Home games (which are far better than Jusant and seriously underappreciated). They're currently working on some open world game it seems
@Fiendish-Beaver Saka passed the ball to Kane with his hands... Besides that it was the softest pen ever. Gary Neville called it a disgrace and other pundits agree so...
Could be better than its "original" version like how Crash Team Racing was better than MK. Could not be. For me it seems too static with a lot of weapon variety and powerups like Overwatch. Just not my kind of thing.
I prefer more fluent action paced gameplay like Titanfall/ Apex or something more stealthy/ like Factions.
Sony of course goes for the easy, uninspired, copycat strategy while shelving Factions 2. Beyond pathetic. Modern factory made gaming yay
Damn I remember retro YouTubers talking about this. Never played it, so pretty cool to see it on PS5. Might give it a chance if it's really really really good
Lmao even EA wasn't so pathetic to hype Jedi Survivor up as the open world SW fOr tHe fiRsT tiMe eVeR.
Probably bargain bin at best. Ubisoft is very good at glamorising trash. It looks fine, but the gameplay probably sucks, the characters will suck, the story will suck, so all you're left with is a shallow turn-off-brain experience. So yeah bargain bin
@Mikey856 Kinda agree though. Without this crap there wouldn't have been a Suicide Squad or Gotham Knights game. There'd be another Arkham Knight and another Origins by that secondary studio.
But you can't prevent these kinda games obviously. Only flops can teach them, except for when it's Warner Bros tho lol
@Northern_munkey Buddy you're the one who gave me crap lol, but whatever. I was comparing the games' looks. I have literally no idea if it's good or not, so can't say anything on that. I did kinda like Genshin, but it was too much. Might have to look into this then if it's good
@Northern_munkey Le epic diss! I don't have to entertain you luckily. I just share my opinions. I know it's a fact that gamers can't handle criticism towards their beloved fragile multimillion dollar franchises, but oh well. I'll still share my opinion ☺️
@Enuo Lol I read this post and was like wtf is even this? Then I was like that's right, it's the next game by the Genshin studio and now I realised they're 2 different games...
These games look so bland and generic, jeez. Factory made
@zhoont
The hair spikes? Actually like that touch lmao
But yeah it looks soooo Fortnite-y
@Golem25
Her outfit was detailed, realistic and very flushed out animation wise like everything else in Arkham Knight. The game still looks better and more detailed than most PS5 games by far. Yet this new and fake Rocksteady made a generational downgrade to its successor and they dare to say such things. Crazy
@Kidfunkadelic83 I do have to say though, there's a mission where you go drinking with a priest and that's just one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a game and definitely to be experienced wherever you can!
@Kidfunkadelic83 I stopped playing on PS4 because the loading became unbearable. Finally have it on PS5 and it's so much smoother and faster. Loading your map doesn't take ages anymore. No PS5 updates, but it's night and day imo
@thefourfoldroot1
I went in there for a second playthrough and it completely made me forget about other games lol. Very addictive* and great story, but a bit of an investment indeed
Some design choices aside, the setting looked pretty nice from the start. But I'm so tired of the sparkles powers. Poof and you're gone teleporting ✨✨✨
The leg movement looks a bit static as well. Kinda PS2ish.
@Steel76
Whatever he does with the cutscenes don't take away from the gameplay, which have always been stellar. His Hollywood shtick is just bonus content, there's always a skip button.
He goes out of his way to make MORE and longer cutscenes to flush the story out. It's all extra.
Normal games there'd be short cutscenes or even bland in-game dialogue. Worse, something outdated and soulless like Starfield.
I alway find it incredible how gamers are the most critical of the creators who go the extra mile and DEFEND the mediocre garbage on mass
Yeah, this would be a "none of them, tbh" month for me. Just not interested in these games.
Among Us is a fun one though. Now you don't have to convince friends to buy it to play with them, so that's a positive imo, but I won't download any of these.
Ps. Sports are just a waste. People interested already have them and they drop value like crazy. They're just factory made and by the time they're on Plus, the next one's out soon and nobody cares anymore. I'd rather have a unique indie game in there instead of this crap
@BIG3 >would be ranked no.1 if it had Drake in it.
... Lol no. The story was a bit weak. If people really liked Drake that much they wouldn't buy it as they'd known he wouldn't be in there. People gave it a shot, knowing which character they're gonna play with (so they were open to it) and then felt whatever they felt. Bad take, sorry
@avividan
Hard agree.
For some reason people look at Uncharted 4 very critically, but it's probably PS4's best game. What an absolutely insane achievement.
U2 is a fun blockbuster, but U4 went all out.
They brought some serious weight to the series, emotion wise, storytelling wise gameplay wise and the blockbuster setpieces were all still there and better than ever. They also had the balls to slow down and tell the story like adults.
That was peak Naughty Dog right there and the best being at their bestest best is scary lol
Yeah I was severely disappointed in this outdated crap. Very frustrating inventory system as well. So bad. Sold the game after 30 hours and happily moved on.
@DogPark Yeah second was floaty too, but the freerunning kinda required it. Bit arcady. I'd love for them to be in-between something like Kingdom Come (slow and grounded) and Dying Light
@Yousef-
Call me crazy, but I've been enjoying western RPG's way waaay more than JRPG's for years now. Especially EU RPG's.
I love me some Yakuza, but newer western releases are stellar. Especially with Bathesda becoming incompetent, EU is the new king imo
@kailun Old school COD4/MW2 lobby toxicity was amazing. What are you talking about? Also, who plays COD to listen to randoms anymore? At one point you just mute everyone, because it's not a game where tactics or teamwork come into play. It's just dumb shooting
@Bentleyma They're not. They're mediocre at best at everything they do and even worse in writing. Their manipulative and make the experience very grinding, for the player to spend way more time in their shallow empty games. Talking mostly about AC here.
You can look at older AC and Far Cry games to see what's missing. Look at how immersive, smooth, interactive with the world/ npc's they were. It's all missing and that's frustrating.
I want the best out of them and what's even more frustrating is that fanboys keep defending and supporting their nonsense blindly.
Imagine wanting to play various types of quality games and owning an xbox while both its competitors have delivered said games for every single generation... And then proceed to complain this keeps happening
@Jayslow
The amount of talented devs wasted on COD is insane.
Treyarch for one. Made a PS2 Spider-Man game with better physics than the new ones. It's just laughable at this point.
I have no interest in this game, but that performance mode is some utter nonsense lol, but not surprising.
It's been a while since I've been impressed by a game. Probably TLOU2 or RDR2, so nothing on PS5.
Then along comes this little game, throwing around performance modes...
Makes you wonder. And laugh
