It's a 9/10 for me. The Japanese voice acting is amazing, it has the best story in any game this year, and it looks and sounds great. The only thing that kept it from being a 10 was the few forced combat arenas. The combat is good, but multiple arenas in a row kinda feels out of place.
Another one of these articles attributing the outage to Silksong? The issue is perfectly clear, it's a CDN outage. It's been effecting many sites all day. It has nothing to do with Silksong.
Couldn't be bothered to do the slightest bit of research? This has nothing to do with Silksong lol. It was just a regular CDN outage. Many banks and other websites like Vimeo, Gemini, and Doordash also went down.
This is my most anticipated game by far. Hellraiser is my favorite horror franchise and I'm glad we're finally getting games based on popular IP that's not some garbage multiplayer game. I can't wait to get my hands on this, and the collectors edition.
I just want to be able to buy gifts for my friends through the store like you can on Steam or Xbox. There currently isn't a way to gift people games if they have the digital only console, which is absolutely insane.
@LazyDaisy I was specifically talking about Playstation games going to Xbox. It's obvious that Playstation games will be getting Switch ports. It's less obvious and highly doubtful they'll go to Xbox.
Why are people reading into this so much? Just seems like a bunch of console war nonsense. This is an absolute nothing burger lol. Playstation isn't even letting Xbox get Patapon, why would they put something actually important over there like Spider-Man or God of War. This is most definitely only for their live service games.
@ErrantRob Yeah, this place is full of dinosaurs that don't realize they're in the overwhelming minority now. Kids today don't really care about single player games. They only want social experiences and free games. It doesn't make sense to them or their parents to pay $70 for a new single player game when they can play Roblox or Fortnite for free.
@Andy22385 The highest player rated game of all time is hilarious. The game is fine but there's some clear astroturfing going on. Most of those reviews are from a day after the game came out. No one beat the game in that time. They probably haven't even beat the first chapter at the time they "reviewed" it. It's a bunch of people caught up in the hype of the honeymoon phase.
You may want to update this article and maybe next time do some more digging before writing a story. This entire thing is false. Genki himself even corrected it. The person saying this was a reporter.. not an investor. Square didn't praise Expedition 33, they only said that the companies origins are from turn based games. There was no mention of Final Fantasy going back to turn based.
I absolutely love this game. It's my second favorite in the entire series and it's not even close. But it's not a real surprise it's not doing well. Xbox has trained their ecosystem to not buy games. It probably would've sold even less copies if it released when the PS5 version did.
Bland? I have no idea how anyone can watch that trailer and say it looked bland. You can say it looks too good to be true, which I absolutely agree with. But saying it's bland when everyone else is praising it seems like you're just trying to be a contrarian. Or maybe you just prefer generic 3rd person action adventure games.
I think the name is doing a lot for this game in this review and reviews from other outlets. If it doesn't hold a candle to Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring while also having bad performance then why is it an 8/10?
@PuppetMaster No, Capcom just made the third game. Sunsoft is the sole owner of the IP according to the USPTO. They purchased the IP when the original developers went out of business in the early 2000s.
@LikelySatan And I imagine you believe everything you hear because you're afraid to be skeptical of anything.
@Shigurui Yeah, after looking at it some more and reading more stuff that's came out my previous comment doesn't reflect my current beliefs. There's definitely some plagiarism in there and they should compensate the artist and give credit.
Yeah this is a nothing burger lol. I don't believe in the plagiarism claims at all. No one knows who this person it. It reeks of someone trying to get famous off a coincidence.
@Ken_Kaniff He also said he'd like to remake Viewtiful Joe. For some reason the article doesn't mention it, but it's right after he talks about DMC. In my opinion, him mentioning Viewtiful Joe is way bigger news than DMC.
@MrPeanutbutterz Yeah, the gameplay isn't shallow at all. It's crunchy and fun. This dude also said the combat in Ninja Gaiden was boring and Concord was good.. so he's proven himself to be the sites worst reviewer and writer several times by now.
I'm so glad it's a paid game. Free to play games are the worst, especially in team based games. I think the people who say it's going to fail because it's not free to play are absolutely delusional lol. I imagine most of them are upset because they can't download it just to be toxic and ruin everyone's time.
Sadly, the demo isn't in a good state. The frame rate was all over the place. The most glaring issue though is the camera acceleration. It's absolutely abysmal with no way to turn it off. Honestly, camera acceleration shouldn't be in FPS games to begin with. Hopefully they get this sorted out before release.
Another case of PushSquare fanning the anti AI flames for engagement. It's clearly a work in progress lol. Saying this looks bad is the same as saying a game in early stages of development look bad. Of course it does, it's early. You can have real criticisms of AI without resorting to be inflammatory and disingenuous. The energy argument is absolutely moronic too. If you cared about "finite resources" you wouldn't do much anyways, you especially wouldn't be writing for a game website lol. It doesn't quite seem necessary to do all this posturing.
I'm pretty sure everyone expected this nonsense to start happening after SNK was purchased by the prince of Saudi Arabia. What a cancer on the industry. No one wants these characters lol.
@Dalamar It's not about motivation. It's about them being lazy about something that is so simple to do. It's also a fundamental component of games nowadays, even if you don't interact with it.
@Nepp67 So.. have you just never played either of those games or seen any footage of this one? They're completely different types of games, genius. It'd be like FF7 not having a map while you're in the overworld.
I'm really excited for this game, but every time we see or hear more about it the more pretentious it becomes. It's just a minimap.. not having one won't encourage exploration. The only thing it will encourage is frustration and people dropping the game.

Re: Silent Hill F's Physical Soundtrack Release Cancelled Due to 'Various Circumstances'

Re: Microsoft Rivals PSVR2 with Meta Quest 3S Xbox Headset

Re: Capcom, on an Unstoppable Run, Plots New Osaka Studio
@PuppetMaster Yeah, we may be waiting awhile. The remaster of the first one was good, but i highly doubt they do the others.

Re: Capcom, on an Unstoppable Run, Plots New Osaka Studio
@PuppetMaster I would love a new Clock Tower.. sadly, that's not up to Capcom since they don't own the IP. Sunsoft does.
