Re: Ambitious Open World RPG Crimson Desert Delayed to 2026

@Zeroo From my list alone from September onwards: Metal Eden, Cronos: The New Dawn, Hirogami, Silent Hill f, Sonic Racing Crosswords, Dreams of Another, Little Nightmares III, Once Upon a Katamari.

For the record, a game isn't worth glossing over because it's not a 10/10. 7s and especially 8s are still worth if they interest you.

And for me Silent Hill f is definitely a must play.

Re: Sick Sci-Fi Shooter Metal Eden Secures September Release Date on PS5

I must be out of the loop because I didn't realise this got delayed. It looks cool, but it's coming out at a completely stacked time for me. We got Sword of the Sea, Lost Soul Aside, Hirogami, and Cronos: The New Dawn all coming out within 2 weeks either side of it. There are way too many games coming out all at once, and it's a severe first world problem.

@Flaming_Kaiser The only reason I got Black Ops 6, is because friends got me to buy it. In fairness, it is pretty good for a social game, and that probably contributes to a lot of their sales. Still, I was very insistent on waiting until it was on sale. I have no plans to buy another anytime soon, because we are well past the point of newer games being as good as the old.

@AhmadSumadi 3.3 million sales (minimum) isn't a small number. It's perfectly accurate to say Expedition 33 has a lot of discourse around it, and players love the characters. Yet there is only one game that I've seen how poorly it's characters were handled.

If we really want to go down this route, there are plenty more stories that feature major character deaths that audiences didn't have a problem with. Or we can agree TLOUII deserves the flak because of it's writing choices.

@RoomWithaMoose You're absolutely correct that this specific collaboration hasn't changed anything, it's just a fairly egregious example and a reminder of how far COD has drifted from what it was.

And I agree, sometimes you just have to move on. Granted some series can make a comeback like Resident Evil, but I found a lot pf solace when I accepted that we're never getting something like World At War again.

Re: What the Hell Has Happened to Call of Duty?

@RoomWithaMoose That's part of the issue, COD has been awful for this for ages now. The main reason why people particularly hate COD for it, is because it wasn't always like this. It used to have a slight amount of realism/immersion/grit to it, but that's completely gone now. That's why it's uncomfortable for fans of the older games to look at, because the series is what put the middle finger up to it's old audience.
