@AdamNovice If they implement a dedicated button so one of the characters can say "Jasssoonnnnn!!!!" at any time during matches, i'll buy this game just to run around and spam the "Jason button"

The only show that's got me hyped right now is VGA in Dec. w/the hope that we see the next Intergalactic trailer. As for SGF, whatever. I hate the summer, love Fall/Winter. Summer just ended thank god. Was long, hot and boring. Dont care to think about next summer.

@Titntin I'm close to completing this game in full and I can't help myself. I felt the need to dig this article up and come back to the place where I left my initial impressions, after being about 8 or 9hrs in.

My attitude has changed. A complete 180. I was fairly critical of this game in the beginning, but now I think this thing is absolutely amazing and the execution of SPunch was unreal. Wow, just wow.

I'm just praying that they stick the landing and it ends epic. With a game this long, we tend to have ideas on how we want it to end, or how it should end. I'm just hoping it has an epic ending to top it off.

@Titntin Same here. This game looks like it can be the "next big thing" in RPG's. However, we've learned to temper our expectations on brand new IP's and also performance on every release that comes out these days. It could be brilliant like Borderlands 4, but run like a mess. Hopefully they stick all landings.

As soon as i read "bluepoint" and "3rd person melee" in the title, I knew the article was gonna have "bloodborne" in it

The games looks great, but I've never seen a game that is a new IP have so many trailers since announcement and a ton through the months of a delay. Is anyone working on the game, or they just making trailers? lol. maybe it would be out. Jokes aside, I hope this turns out great and isn't a bug fest.

@RoomWithaMoose I rest my case. You are making it evident that they are amongst us in many ways. Bye

@RoomWithaMoose @ElectricWizard Moose, You are spewing more fanboyism. You have no idea what my gaming habits are, what I prefer to play on for 3rd party and you know nothing about me. Yet I don't agree with your take on the Xbox, so you are spewing assumptions about me to align with your opinion on the matter. Making assumptions to make yourself seem right with this is as fanboy as it gets. Have fun with that. See ya

Wizard, you are obv late to the party with all this and you are another fanboy taking his side, just judging our debate at face value. Obv if you agree with him after he is making assumptions, instead of having concrete evidence to suggest I'm just being anti xbox, then you can't be reasoned with either no matter what. you have fun with that as well. See ya

@AverageGamer I'm not being contradictory or argumentive I agree with what you said. However, its not up to the companies to offer a version of their PS/Xbox game. Its up to Nintendo to releases beefy enough hardware to run them. Switch 2 seems a bit better (cyberpunk), but there's so much more happening in a BF game, with its large scale warfare modes. Switch 2 could never handle all that happening on screen at once

are they ever gonna have this game running smooth? There hasn't been a performance patch for this in ages and no public statement about it

@RoomWithaMoose I find it funny how you say "fanboyism" disgusts you, yet you straight up said that you didn't understand how anyone could say that their Xbox series X is nothing but a dust collector.

You sounded like a total fanboy because it is indeed possible that for someone other than yourself, the series X can be a dust collector. Just because it isn't for you, doesn't mean that erases the chance that someone else is getting no value with that console. What works for you, doesn't work for everyone else. Its not all about you. Bye

@RoomWithaMoose PureXbox site is over there >

I got this "way more powerful then base ps5" Xbox series X in my entertainment center its done nothing but collect dust for years now. so....

@Boxmonkey @Lowdefal @MrStark @Sakai @antlion This article is too "face value". Please go watch Digital Foundries takes on the Cerny/AMD presentation and you will see that ps6 will be a beast. It will be implementing new architectures that push us forward, not stuck w/ diminishing returns. DF seems to be very excited about the direction PS is taking and these new said systems in the hardware

@CrispyMango92 @MidnightDragonDX @4fold @TensuraFan7 With stellar blades photo mode and a little dirty imagination, one could make their own pretty fire wallpapers if you know what I mean

@WiccanMagick75 I kind of agree. I view Bloodborne like I did TLOU 1 before they did a sequel. It would be cool as hell if it was just a one off game. But I'm def not against more of it and would prefer they continue both IP's. It adds diversity to Sony's 1st party lineup too. Nice avatar by the way. I grew up a huge metal fan and still a metal head to this day. Slayer is far from my fave metal band, but I have all their CD's and love most of their tracks. How could you not own the whole Slayer discography if you are a metal fanatic, right? lol

They just better not drop a Bloodborne wallpaper, cause then everyone will come out of the woodwork with false rumors thinking that its some kind of sign.

@Tasuki I like how you bust out Symphony every Halloween and add a newer Halloween game to the mix. I'm 50yo and Halloween is still a cool time of year. Affter Yotei, I think my Halloween game will be Cronos this year.

@kuu_nousee I can't speak for your region, if that even matters, but yesterday I was in a que #233,000, but it moved very fast. Last night and today I've been dropped right in, no que at all. I think they just did that in the beginning so they could throttle the load on the servers if need be to make sure launch is smooth.

I'm gonna be playing a combination platter of Ghost of Yotei, with the Battlefield 6 fried rice, egg roll and a bottle of Mount Yotei Sake

@SuperSilverback Yeah, forgot about borderlands 4. That will be huge after its patched properly, esp the memory leak. hahaha so much

@SuperSilverback I hear ya. Regardless of how we choose to handle our games, this is a good problem to have right? Having a killer game waiting for when the current ends. I'm prob going to Cronos after Yotei, then MGS if its patched by then. Then there's still HK silk, outerworlds 2 is due out soon. ARC raiders soon, Silent hill F yet to check out. Just naming a few. The back catalog is huge right now lol its so great

@SuperSilverback Multiplayer games and campaign single player ones are the only two types I can have going at the same time. I'm in the middle of Yotei too, but doesn't hurt to jump into a few online matches from time to time, then back to Yotei. I could never have two campaign games going at once, never. Esp if they were two open world RPG's that take investment in the mechanics.

It takes zero skill to be good at any COD. Even more so now if you have the benefit of a 120hz display or you are doing cross play on your PC/mouse vs console players. BF makes you work for your kills and when you do good, its way more gratifying

I've played about 10 matches so far, all smaller scale warfare (domination and TDM) to get back into the battlefield swing. I was #233,000 in a full server, but the wait wasn't long, it went by fast. So far the game runs perfect for me. No glitching, disconnections, no lag.

As far as the game goes, I'm loving it so far. I've been salivating for a good Battlefield game to release for awhile now. I really think this is it. Hope this helps anyone on the fence.

My only complaint so far is that some maps are way too dark and you have to jack up brightness. But then you play on a diff one with a cooler color palate and the game looks washed out from the increase in brightness. Minor gripe, but stilll

@Westernwolf4 I agree. My first was an Intellivision. I was never a Nintendo guy. Was always more of a hardcore game gamer. Mortal Kombat was my thing in the arcades as a teenager. It's always been a great time to be a gamer. There's been some ups/downs, but I agree right now is fantastic due to the GTA6 affect.

Party up with nobody right now lmao. I just jumped on at exactly 11am when my region went live and I'm qued at #233,000 in a full server

@Westernwolf4 lol that's so great. I couldn't stand the game, because you had to memorize the quick time hits since there was no prompts. But like you, my jaw would hit the floor from the visuals. Maybe I shouldn't speak for us all, but not in a million years back then did we think we would have home consoles such as PS, that would bring graphics that belittle DL, with RPG mechanics and whatever else tethered to them and have a thing called the internet where we can chat with friendly strangers about all things gaming.

I'm very proud to have been able to grow up in the Arcade era, play those cabinets and then see home consoles evolve to the point where i'm still gaming at 50yo.

@Westernwolf4 Right?! That was kind of a big moment for gaming. However, it was all quick time events without the button press prompts on screen if I remember, right? I wasn't really big into playing DL, but was indeed a showcase I'll remember.

As soon as I watched I got instant Nostalgia. Anyone else here remember Dragon's Lair in the arcade? Looked just like this, a disney cartoon animated engine. Was in arcades in 1983, so it was very, very advanced at the time. People in arcades would watch in awe. To put into perspective, that was 2 yrs before the OG NES release in north america. So home graphics were still super inferior to any arcade cabinet

For the first time in ages after trying BO7 beta, I'm not getting COD in any form this year in favor of Battlefield. In years past I would get both. But I'm finally done with that cut and paste garbage. I'm filing COD next to the NHL series (waste basket). I really hope Battlefield can finally take down COD this year. Unlikely, but we'll see.

I never buy multiplayer military shooters for the campaign. Just very happy Battlefield multiplayer is back into form after many years now. The beta was great. COD's not so much, cut and paste as usual. Between this and ARC raiders that's all anyone would need

Maybe EPIC will figure out how to fix Unreal engine 5 by then

@AdamNovice I agree and with what you just said, I hope to heck Intergalactic isn't pushed to be a ps6 game. That will mean ND will skip a whole gen with no native ps5 release and honestly I don't wanna wait 2 more years play this thing

Was never a COD campaign guy, just yearly Multiplayer. I'm skipping this year for ARC raiders and Battlefield 6, since it seems it's finally back into better form from years past. I can't support COD cut and paste crap no more.

@StarZinger lol "polite bear". I like that

@StarZinger Another thing that happened to me in Yotei, which is very common "STILL" in alot of games is, I was trying to take down a bear in the woods. It was going ballistic on me. This NPC walks up and wanted to talk during combat with the bear and it went to a cutscene. You can see the bear in the cutscene, but all of a sudden the bear mellows off like we weren't even there lmao. End cutscene and the bear is just gone all together. Like yeah a real bear is gonna let you have your conversion when its about to rip your face off, then get bored and just leave. hahaha

Games still have this Jank since forever, that is kind of minorly immersion breaking and you can't help but wonder, how do they let this even happen in a game to this day?

@StarZinger Yes very true. Again, its been a video game trope since forever. I find it funny cause we are almost in 2026. The hardware is much more advanced compared to ps1 days. But simple design choices like this that don't make sense are still very present in games.

@HRdepartment lmao really? so its been ages in other words?

I was never really a fan of this man. I used to be a 2 console guy, but Fable doesn't hold any nostalgia for me, never played them. When's the last time this dude put out anything truly AAA and meaningful?

WIth ARC raiders set to become a "thing" for a gamers PvPvE needs and Battlefield finally being back with a resurgence for the straight up multiplayer shooter space, who needs Marathon? Bad timing for bungie to try this, esp when peeps walked away from the beta thinking that it wasn't anything good.

The only other live service shooter I'd let back in eventually would be Remnant 3 whenever that hits. Remnant 2 craps all over Marathon, it aint even fair

Where's the red kool aid stain, I mean God of war stripe?

@Oram77 That's weird. I beat DS2 before moving right over to Yotei Last week and I remember DS2 going to a title screen for me and having to press continue before entering the game.

I find this funny in Yotei and its been a video game trope since the start of time. Not Yotei's fault. But I can't figure why dev's haven't looked at this and found a better way. But Atsu is in an area having fond memories with innocent people around and the devs put random supplies to loot inside their homes.

She is obv enamored to this homestead, yet in between dialog with them, she is robbing them freakin' blind. lmao

"Oh you remember my mom and dad and me as a kid do ya'. That's great??? Thanks for the memories!" (proceeds to ransack their home and steal their supplies, regardless of how they appear to be living in poverty) hahaha

@ShogunRok Yeah me too. Honestly, I thought something was wrong with my machine or the game, or I had a setting toggled that would do a quick resume or something. No title screen and straight to the game in seconds upon boot up, I don't remember a diff game ever doing that, do you?

@Cerny Yeah me too. I've been waiting. I haven't touched this game since initially trying, hoping for 60fps. The character controls like a forklift in this game. Could never understand the praise when the thing that's most important (gameplay) they got dreadfully wrong.

I'm fine just sitting back and watching Xbox: The Calamity Tour. So whatever, nothing to see here.

The games industry will be better without Xbox at this point after all they've done. So good riddance!!!

Xbox will never get another penny from me so I don't care. Their new console will be DOA anyways. I'm also not worried the lack of Comp with affect Sony. Their 1st party dev's don't need xbox to instill passion into what they want to achieve.

@Titntin This gen has been the worst when it comes to broken games at launch but that's about it. The games and output have been great and there's still so many heavy hitters left. I mean GTA6 is gonna be massive and not even out yet.

On another note, Yotei has grown on me a bit more. The combat and exploration loop I loved about GoT are hooking me in. And the newer open ended exploring and finding missions and such is a nice touch adding to it all. But I still stand by what I said about not really liking Atsu and I still think a better game engine could have been used.

Its not calling to me to be played when I'm not gaming like my fave games did. But I am enjoying it a bit more. Enjoy your weekend man. Oh and by the way, is your username based on the character Tin Tin from "the crow"? just curious.
