Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 586

This weekend I will play and finish Chronicles of the Wolf! I got both the Switch 1 and the PS5 copies just to support the indie Castlevania fan Migami (Mig Perez).

On the site I have the great Castlevania Chronicles which in Arranged mode on easier difficulty is playable otherwise it is one of the hardest Castlevania games out there!

And in Resident Evil 4 Remake I am about to exit the Village area.

Happy gaming everyone!!!

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About The Last of Us Part 2, 5 Years Later?

It was (and still is) a very disappointing game.

1. They tricked the audience with the trailer. Actually, they straight up lied!
2. The used pure shock value for the fun of it.
3. The whole premise of "Revenge BAD!" is stupid and childish.

The ONLY thing I liked in the game was the environments. They are beautiful!

I could not care less for ANY of the characters.

This weekend I am treating myself with Castlevania Symphony of the Night on its original hardware! (FINALLY!) That's right! "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!" and all that!

On the side I will be blasting in Serious Sam: The First Encounter and some Diablo-like gaming in Heroes of Ruin!

Have a nice weekend everyone!!!

Re: Fans Discuss the Reason Behind DOOM: The Dark Ages' Lukewarm Opening

Zuljaras

@Bionic-Spencer I am almost certain that those idiots did it because of the exclusive pre-order for early access.

The same thing Ubisoft did with their latest releases and that is why they can't be played from the discs either.

If physical editions leak earlier those who bought the early access will cry that it is unfair as they paid for that privilege

And that is why the game is NOT on the disc so they can control WHEN you can install it and play it.

And that is why they do not deserve my money for that release.

This weekend I will start a new playthrough of DooM Eternal on the Switch.
Also, such a shame that the disc of DooM The Dark Ages does not contain the game, and you need internet to install it and play it. Despicable

I will continue my save in Singularity on the 360 and play some GTA V as I have never touched the story like at all This will be interesting.

Have a nice weekend!

Re: Rumour: DOOM: The Dark Ages PS5's Physical Edition May Require a Download to Start

Zuljaras

I will NOT support that now. Down the road if LRG do a copy of this DooM like they did with the others I will buy it. This is my first skip on a DooM game ...

@Northern_munkey Apparently you own 1 or 2 games on disc?

ALL of my PS5 and PS4 games can be played JUST from the installation from the disc without ANY internet connection.

I own:
PS4 - around 110 games
PS5 - 23 games

@naruball Oh yes! I am waiting for that as well.

However, I am still angry that Ubisoft tried to kill the franchise. Besides Heroes V, 6 and 7 are so generic that it hurts me. They are still fun but unlike the old titles I can't play them for long periods of time.

And I finally found a colleague that likes HoMM 3 to give away my sculpture to free some space to make more

More Elden Ring for me. It is harder to play a Faith character than a Quality one, at least for me!

I cleared Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula. Now I am in Liurnia of the Lakes and hunting for dungeons

On the side I have Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Horn of the Abyss on the Steam Deck and Octopath Traveler on the Switch

Happy gaming everyone!!!

This weekend will be AWESOME!

I got my first copy of Castlevania Dominus Collection!

In the past 3 days I 100% Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow ... again, and now I am moving to Portrait of Ruin! My goal (like every time) is to get 100% map, 100% item drops and all weapons + spells

On the side I have the glorious Elden Ring and continuation of the journey of my Crusader in Diablo 3!

Happy gaming weekend everyone!!!

PS: When I made the sculpture of the warrior jar from Elden Ring, I thought how cool it would be to put a Switch cartridge of Elden Ring inside. But with those key-carts this seems ... painful

@GoatFace04 the Barm Stoker's Dracula games on Mega Drive/Genesis/Snes, Gameboy and Nes are different games

There is one for the Sega CD I think and it is a different game as well.

The Genesis/Megadrive one is not hard at all. People do not refer to it as a good game, but I really like it.

Also if you ever play it please play the Megadrive/Genesis version over the SNES one. The soundtrack is waaay better even if both are the same game. And there are different gameplay differences that are better on the Sega version.

Re: Indiana Jones PS5's Physical Release Requires You to Download the Game

Zuljaras

That is good news for me. I get to save money! Hurrayy!

@BAMozzy "It doesn't matter if the Disc has ALL the game and its 'perfect' at launch as you'll still have to install it from the Disc to your internal Storage to 'run' from there, not from the Disc itself."

Yes, because the direct disc reading is too slow for the current and previous generation. Also, it is better to install from the disc and use it only as s key because it does not spin constantly, thus being a strain on the optical drive and the disc itself.

So, installation is better.

@RoomWithaMoose Why net loss? If someone else buys them and continue to develop their franchises with better decisions isn't that a win for the gaming industry?

If you really stick to the French representation, I guess it has some value for you. I've never thought about that. There are only a couple of Bulgarian games, and I loved seeing them being played but I am not being particularly proud of that

Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft

Zuljaras

@RoomWithaMoose The Legacy will be the only good thing that they leave behind. I can't see them making the gaming industry better going forward, especially with that leadership.

I will remember AND play their previous games, but the industry does not need another bloated whale that will burst any moment.

Same goes for Blizzard, they are bad for the industry as well, even if they made some of the MOST epic, defining games of all time.

Those 2 and Microsoft (the gaming department) are my most disappointing companies that plague industry.

Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft

Zuljaras

@RoomWithaMoose Sorry but I can't see a future without massive layoffs for Ubi. They dug themselves into a hole. If I am not mistaken, they are also being sued right now, for misleading the shareholders?

The most positive future for them is for a new company to get their franchises and keep a small portion of the staff for the future projects.

Even after the Shadows success (I am still not certain of it) it will be just like after Veilguard. Massive layoffs because of higher management.

The gaming industry is in a really bad place right now and bloated companies like Ubi are the main thing that is wrong.

PS: And yes, a physical edition with DRM is my most hated thing for most gaming products. I mean sure I do not like certain agenda driven directions but if it is optional I can enjoy a game.

Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft

Zuljaras

@RoomWithaMoose I am fine being without Ubisoft. They can be bought, assimilated and renamed. Just like 3DO for example (let's not forget that Ubi bought the HoMM license and butchered the games ). No need for all the people to lose their jobs. Ubi had a golden age, but something happened, and it is really sad.

I am against ALL DRM from ALL companies. I do not care about microtransactions as long as they are 100% optional.

@tameshiyaku PC/Steam is 100% digital, I only care for console physical releases. PC for me is strictly with Internet in mind

And by proper physical edition I mean get the game, put it in the console without internet connection, install it and play it.
One time login after installation is a no go for me. This is DRM and I hate it

Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft

Zuljaras

@tameshiyaku Could you please share which Capcom games can't be played from the physical media without internet connection?

I mean the game is on the disc/cart but you have to download something from the internet to play.

I am aware of Resident Evil 1, 5 and 6 on the Switch but that is not DRM. They just cheaped out on the cartridge size.

@AhmadSumadi Sure, it is what he said in the transcript but still to see the DRM that followed with Avatar, Outlaws and now Shadows I am sure that he meant it. Because without the Ubi servers you own a plastic coaster, not a game.
