Never finished it on PS4, way too slow with the loading and such.
But Dragons Dogma 2 was such an utter disappointment that I need to cleanse myself with a proper medieval RPG.
@DonkeyFantasy Alright, don't take it personally, but I'm tired of people complaining that grounded games feel weird. They're supposed to. People complained about RDR2 as well. It's absolutely stellar how good it plays when it's slow and immersive. Same for KC. This is exactly why every game feels the same nowadays and nothing has it's own "personality" like games used to. And it only takes a couple of hours at max to adjust to and it'll feel natural
@DonkeyFantasy It should feel more like any other paper mache Ubisoft game, huh? The game is grounded and feels like it should. It's different and thank god for that.
Swear to god, if Ubisoft makes an actually finished game, that doesn't play like it's all made from cardboard, where NPC's are smarter than Patrick Star, where they don't repeat the same dumb line 100 times, where exploration is actually fun, where combat isn't sponge BS, where the dialogue isn't written by a 15yo crack addict...
I will eat my socks
I got it the moment it went live for half the price. Though I'm holding it off, cause I heard there'll be some mods coming to these, so it's advisable to wait for those apparently.
Bit offtopic, but demos are such a waste of time. You can get the feel for a game through a review or gameplay and decide then and there if a game is worth it or not. With the backlog I have, ain't nobody got time for demo's lol
With how much terribly written garbage Bathesda pumps out, of course they're gonna be mad at the best Bathesda game that was not even made by Bathesda lmao
@Nightcrawler71 I got fed up and annoyed and disappointed with DD2. It's very telling that it's not in the top 10 anymore. Very mixed word of mouth I guess. Very strange release
@Stevemalkpus Yeah that's the one! Waiting for a sale, it's on my wishlist. It looked fascinating the first time I saw it. Very cool vibe. Can't wait to play it
EA seems like the logical company to be making this tbh. At least they can salvage the crap Bioware made for Anthem. Anthems flying needs work though. Needs more weight as well.
And let's hope they have a bit more adult, less toothless dialogue than the Spidey games
@Pixipantalon
SS got nothing on Helldivers 2 lol. It's something all Star Wars fans would've wanted, but never got. It's beautiful, it plays very well and it's a world of fun with friends.
On the other hand, I don't care for FPS nor the microtransactions, so I tried to like DD2 for 25 hours and then gave up.
Dumb dialogue, actually there is none. It's all exposition thrown at you.
Dated gameplay loop.
Same enemies every 5 seconds of travel.
You have to travel past those dumb enemies A LOT.
Making the whole experience even worse are the insanely annoying pawns who can't shut their goddamn mouths and only have dumb things to say.
Dumb fetch quests you'd see in budget RPG's around 2010.
Annoying inventory simulator you'd see in budget RPG's around 2010
(and you can't even give multiple items at once to your pawns in this crappy menu you'd see in budget RPG's around 2010).
Meanwhile there have been countless quality RPG's out since Dark Arisen and they've done both to learn from them. There's no moment's rest. Can't take in the view before a goblin screeches or your pawn try to go for darwin award
@Uromastryx
Same enemies with different colours every 5 steps, over and over and over again.
Pawns saying insanely dumb bs over and over and over again.
Storytelling is non existent, it's just exposition thrown at you again and again.
You have to trek back through the same areas again and again, encountering the same enemies again, I can go on
It's so tedious and they haven't improved all that much in a time where stellar RPG's have come out and they've taken zero notes
Great. Games have no physics for 2 generations in a row. Rockstar's PS3 pinpong game has more physics than anything out today.
Now we're gonna have even less physics because everyone wants fRaMeRatEs. Even more shallow games! Great! I'm gonna use the whole PS6 era to finish my backlog it seems
My comment wasn't all that political, but here's the edited lol:
@PaperAlien As someone who has criticized the new SM games for their lack of physics, feeling too light and characters being stupid beyond belief... I gotta say, I'm impressed with SM2. ONLY when swinging assist is turned off though.
Other than that it's very forced political, very dumb at times and the main characters are now ugly as hell, because...?
Anyway, I only care for the traversal and I'm impressed. Needs more weight, but it's a technical feat that's for sure. Very good stuff. Doesn't deserve to be bashed all that much
@GoldenBot That won't do lol? Imagine if the Metroid fans reacted this way back in the day. Things evolve. Megaman has been in mediocre obscurity for decades now. It'll either die or they'll have to do something new with the IP. A gritty Megaman sounds awesome. What we get now is some kiddy rollerskates, not even single A garbage
Come to think of it (I never think about Megaman, believe it or not), why is there not a Metroid Prime type evolution for the character? A more adult version to actual bring some life into this character that nobody cares about anymore. FPS or a 3rd person shooter maybe.
This one just looks like a cheap knock off movie licensed game and... He's on roller skates lol?
This is insane and should be celebrated. I had zero interest in this game or plus premium, but now...
Ps. Let Bend make Days Gone 2 FFS Sony. They've set up all the hard work for an easy Part 2 and... Actually I don't know what the hell Sony is doing anymore man
@ear_wig
If it's done right.
Often it's just forced, godawful Mary Sue characters that do the exact opposite of what they "strive for" (they don't. They don't care.) Here it doesn't matter much anyway, so it's fine
On a different note, I never understood being more immersed because a character looks more like yourself. If I have the choice, I always make female characters, but I think it's dumb. They're always supid/ deaf/ mute, etc.
I have way more immersion in polished, drawn out characters that are already actual characters like Geralt or Henry from Kingdom Come.
I'm enjoying DD2, but I think the story sucks for this exact reason
Still wishing for more big VR games from Sony. RE7 isn't even on PSVR2 which is a disgrace and stopped me from getting the thing. Is Sony gonna do another surprised Pikachu face when another product they don't support ends up like the Vita
@The_ghostmen Well they were Indiana Jones type of games. TLOU is more of a The Road type game. They're just different genres. There are happy moments, but they're small and justified. Not need to MCU makeover games like TLOU lol
@SoNico89 I heard it was a bit of a mess and Rockstar stepped in to finish development, so I think big shots like Rockstar could pull of a sequel.
I think they do own the rights as a big tv show was being made with the same name. They had to change it because of Rockstar, so hopefully that means there's more to come, tho that was years ago
Why are big reticles always a telltale sign of low budget games lol? The demo was very disappointing, so I'm gonna wait for the reviews, but I'm not expecting a hit sadly
@Ralizah
That's my point though, I'm comparing them to how the big games used to be.
I like all sorts of games, but Sony's style is where it's at for me.
My point is that most of these games just fall short. They're my type of games, but they never meet their potential and gamers are always there to defend mediocrity. That's the disappointing bit.
It's all by the numbers most of the time. Very factory made. Slap some nice graphics and a framerate (because that's all people care about), a generic story and job's done.
Though I can bet Shadow of the Colossus on PS2 has more depth in terms of animations and physics. You fell of your horse in that game and you'll felt it. Spider-Man 2 PS2 same thing. Fluent wallrunning to swinging to air tricks, all physics based. Now it's hold down a button and go get a drink out of the fridge.
