Re: Blasphemous 2 (PS5) - A Marvellously Macabre Metroidvania

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

Blasphemous is literally tied for my favorite PS4/X1 generation game next to Bloodborne.

I'm so happy to see the sequel seems to be getting love from just about all who have played it.

Not gonna lie though....I kind of liked the death traps in the original. I thought it added to the brutal and cruel nature of the world. Annoying? Certainly, but I didn't think it was that bad lol

Re: Final Fantasy Creator Believes Latest Instalment Is Ultimate Entry in Franchise

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

Its the only FF game I've ever gone out of my way to play.

Its so sick. I almost wish it wasn't FF because it deserves better than to be ***** on just because its different from the previous 15 games.

I hope it gets sequels. I love Clive and this world they have created. Itd be a shame to toss it to the side when this game is such a damn solid foundation for more great action games.

This game has made me experience feelings I haven't felt since I was like 14/15 fighting Poseidon in the opening of God Of War 3.

I applaud that. The boss fights in this game are a spectacle that I feel has been missing from gaming for a very long time.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 (PS5) - Final Fantasy's Triumphant Return to the Top

I know the FF core base might be a little turned off by the switch but this new direction is exactly why I pre-purchased a copy.

The reviewer mentions over the top cinematics and epic battles that would make GoW3 blush, or comparing the combat to Devil May Cry and I agree based on the demo. I loved it.

It just reminded me of a game I would have loved back in the PS2/PS3 era....but with sexy PS5 graphics 🔥

That's a win for me personally lol

Re: Devil May Cry Designer Crafts Magnum Opus with Final Fantasy 16

My thumbs are ready!

I tried the demo and loved it. I'm not a big FF guy (I have only played the ps1 version of 7) but because I am a DMC guy I had to try this out and man....this is gonna be something special. I could tell.

I literally finished the demo and hopped online to pre order a physical copy lmao. Just goes to show, demos are a good thing. I probably wouldn't have touched this until a massive sale years after the fact but because I got to test it risk free, they're getting my $70.

Take not game devs/studios. This is the way.

Re: Lords of the Fallen PS5 Release Might Be Set for October

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

This is make or break for these guys in my book.

That first game was borderline unplayable. I have played N64 games with better feeling controls than the first Lords game.

This new one looks beautiful. If they can just make the character movement and combat not feel like it has 10f input delay it should be great.

Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Trailer Hints at Series Reboot for PS5

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

I'm hoping this is more about going back to the first ever Mortal Kombat tournament rather than simply back to the events of the first game which is technically the 10th tournament between Outworld and Earthrealm.

So if we rewind back to the "1" it should be the tournament where Goro kills the Great Kung Lao and his win streak begins.

Maybe the plot of MK12 is to time meddle and prevent that or change the outcome some how.

Re: E3 2023 in Doubt as More Publishers Pull Out

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

I miss E3. I used to enjoy tuning in for each conference. It was like an annual thing and it was fun.

It sucks all these companies have abandoned it to do their own virtual versions. From a business perspective I understand but as a consumer I preferred the old E3.

Idk guess its just nostalgia

Re: Poll: What Game Should Capcom Remake Next?

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

Resident Evil 0

They could remake it and maybe tweak the storyline enough for it to make more sense.

If not RE0 I think Devil May Cry 1 should get a remake using the engine DMC5 used.

Also....Darkstalkers. C'mon Capcom....you either need to make DS4 or reboot it.

Re: UK Regulator No Longer Concerned About Activision Buyout's Impact on Console Competition

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

Sony shouldn't sign anything.

Their SONY they should be able to create their own PS Exclusive FPS game.

If Activision as crappy as they are can keep making CoDs people like certainly any number of Sony's studios could replicate their formula....probably do it better even.

I don't play FPS games so idk or really care about CoD on PS but I just don't see what makes CoD specifically so special? Is it riding on the name at this point?

Re: Lords of the Fallen Looks Ridiculously Good on PS5

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

It looks great, but I need to see how it actually plays.

The first game played terribly. Its not often I drop a game I pay money for but it was so unresponsive and janky feeling.

I have played PS2 games with more fluid combat and more responsive controls. The game feels like it has 10 frames of input lag or something.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty?

Volsung_Fjorgynnson

Its fantastic. As much as I loved Elden Ring, massive open worlds can get exhausting. Sometimes I just want a more linear experience where I can focus on combat and like Nioh and Nioh 2 before it Wo Long strongly delivers in that regard.

A punishing soulslike and an interesting spiritual successor to the Nioh series. I am loving it so far even if it's probably going to cause me some hair-loss by the time I reach the credits lol
