Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for this game, but I'm concerned that it's gonna be a repeat of FFXV, in that by the time the next part comes out, audience interest will have dropped a lot.
Anyone remember Episode Ardyn? I don't even know anyone that played it.
Congrats on 10 years of not just posting articles, but also creating and maintaining a growing community. I'm proud to call this place my home for gaming news, reviews, and entertainment for over half a decade. Keep it up!
There's still over a month. It's never too late to be canceled. Though, considering that Disney said that they're happy with the work EA has put into the Star Wars franchise, maybe this game is what they meant? Who knows.
While I'll admit that Storm beats the other javelins in coolness, it also tends to be the first one to die in every team fight. Now I'm not saying that the Interceptor is superior per se, though it totally is, but it can kill a pack of Scars, and then be taking down a turret and snipers before you're even done with your combo, assuming your "shield" even let you survive that long. :>
So $12 to scrape gum off of my javelin's shoe? Should I be grateful? Disgusted? I can't imagine it being very difficult to add an animation like that to the game, but it's actually Epic rarity... Shrugs
The loading screen issues are awful. I've had to close and reopen the application dozens of times at this point, the worst being six times in a row, due to not being able to load past 95% before or after a mission.
Despite that though, I'm in love with the gameplay, and have had a super fun time playing the interceptor with an SMG and an explosive sniper rifle. There's a bunch of different weapons and abilities to choose from, and finding the ones that suit you best while experimenting in freeplay or missions is really enjoyable.
Most of all, the flying and movement abilities feel fantastic, in combat and exploring. Trying to master everything the javelins have to offer while in the hard mode stronghold is something I've easily been able to spend hours and hours on, and look forward to spending more time on in the following public demo and official release.
Highly recommend Dead Cells to anyone that hasn't tried it yet. The game at it's original price is already a steal and well worth it's value in replay-ability, variety, and challenge. There's so many different possible, viable play styles and due to the nature of the game, it's easy to either play for just a few minutes and beat the game in one sitting, or play for hours and hours, mixing and matching gear, and playing at your own pace.
Pretty sad about this honestly. I was super excited to play a game like diablo (but not D3 since I've already put so many hours into the game and want something new). It's not a long delay, but with Anthem launching around the same time, looks like my hands will be full.
Waiting for PushSquare's review. I trust FromSoftware to polish any games they release, but the mixed reviews so far have me questioning whether the game is polished gold or polished poop.
I like that none of the challenges are overly difficult. If you had to finish in first place each time on top of holding a necklace or raygun or whatever, the characters would be very difficult for most people to get.
Love Borderlands, but the lack of co-op is a major letdown. I have hundreds of hours in BL2, but it has always been the most fun when playing with friends.
Please Warframe, please Warframe, please Warframe, please Warframe, please Warframe, please Warframe, please Warframe. FFXIV too. I don't care about Fortnite, but for some games this is absolutely huge and a big deal. Also I'm looking forward to hearing how developers handle the "I have cosmetics on both ps4 and pc" issue.
Sounds fantastic. I might actually be tempted to use ps now if I'm not forced to pray that my unreliable internet stays stable just to play Catherine or something.
Been having a blast with Dead Cells these past few days. Also re-downloaded Destiny 2, which I haven't played since the first dlc came out, in order to prepare for Forsaken in a week or two. I'm looking forward to playing the new crucible mode coming out, Gambit.
I'm actually really looking forward to Anthem's release. I like the idea of fighting massive monsters while using flying warframes and without the use of any cover. That is of course, unless Warframe does it better with Fortuna.
@smelly_jr Seeing as revenge and discrimination are both closely tied to hate, we'll probably see them both fairly often in the game. I imagine that coming to terms with whether or not that hate is justified will also be a large part in Ellie's development as a character, and maybe the story as a whole.
Very much looking forward to Vampyr. My expectations for the gameplay are low, but i'll be pleasantly surprised if it's even half as fluid as Infamous or Soulsborne. Most of all I want the morality system to be meaningful to the character development. The protagonist is a doctor with generally good intentions, so I want to see both the subtle and the not-so-subtle distinctions between the goody two-shoes, morally ambiguous, and Count Douche-ula viewpoints, side characters and all.
I'd love to see the Dead Space trilogy and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on PS4. Also Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 please. The second Tales of Xillia came so late in the ps3 lifespan that I didn't even finish the game before totally moving on to the PS4.
@Matroska I had no idea. Definitely gonna keep an eye out now. I was already planning to get it eventually, but I may get it day one.
Props to FromSoftware for putting in effort to make even remakes of old games higher quality.. DS1 has always been my favorite in the series, I'm happy to see it being ported properly.
The writing was actually the only thing I was looking forward to in Anthem. I figured, "If Drew Karpyshyn is working on Anthem, it has to be good!" Not that we know enough about it to say it will do bad, but I personally have lost interest in the game, and the fact that it's a Bioware game has no where near the same effect today as it did a decade ago.
Thank you for the guide! This is my first game in the series, and even though I played the beta extensively, there's so much that I don't know about the game yet.
Can't wait for this one. I love games that explore the morality and consequences of the player's decisions and actions. Bioware was the king of these types of character driven games with Mass Effect, KoTOR, and Dragon Age, but I personally feel their writing had dropped in quality ever since Drew Karpyshyn left after ME2. Though apparently, he's writing for Anthem, so maybe the king isn't dead yet.
Been playing Nier: Automata the past week. Loving the soundtrack and gameplay, though I'm having some trouble getting invested into the characters, which is usually a big thing for me. I'm excited to see more of the game, and hopefully I'll be done with it before Monster Hunter World comes out.
Most looking forward to Monster Hunter World, Detroit: Become Human, and Vampyr. Tennis World Tour is looking really tempting though, considering the last tennis games I played were Virtua Tennis 4 and Top Spin 4.
@get2sammyb I appreciate your honesty about P5. It's easily my GOTY and in my top 5 of all time, and I loved everything about it, but I can't bring myself to agree with your opinion of it. On a different note, I've never been interested in the Yakuza series before, and seeing your comment about its writing makes it seem like a game I would absolutely love. So, thanks in advance for that! I'll pick it up ASAP.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I hope they'll include the multiplayer that was in the game too. Patapon 2 was my favorite of the trilogy. Day one.

Re: Soapbox: The Problem with ANTHEM Is That the Storm Javelin Is Way, Way More Fun than the Other Suits
