@wiiware To be picky, you technically save in DS or Bloodborne only when you quit them via the in-game menu and in those cases enemies won't respawn; they do if you rest at a bonfire/lamp because doing that replenish your health, repair your armour/weapons... basically, they want you to "pay" for the benefits you get!
@JohnGrey Metro has a good setting, but all the rest is just mediocre... I wonder what Arkane Studios could have done with that series since they clearly showed how great they are with sci-fi too thanks to Prey (mimics and the GLOO cannon alone are a good reason to play the game).
Sekiro, The Outer Worlds and Resident Evil 2 for me. I love From Software, Sci-Fi and Survival Horror so if these three games will be perfectly crafted then they will be more than enough for the entire 2019!
@Bonbonetti @Gmork___ I went through the game wondering why they added certain elements considering how bad thet were. Puzzles? 4 or 5 in the entire game, very easy and the character obviously tell you what to do as soon as he enters the room... Shooting? No need to aim, just press X when the icon appears above the enemy... Skill points? The game is the same, no matter if you invest them on strenght or investigation... Stealth? Well, that looked as actual gameplay, but it lasted few minutes. It felt to me like a (not so much) interactive movie, and it costs more than a complete HPL books collection so it was a huge disappointment to me. 😢
@ThePathsofPain @Bonbonetti Hey guys, did you play the recent Call of Cthulhu? Unfortunately, I did and I found it awful... Let's hope this will be on another level, but I fear HPL is getting used as a brand to sell mediocre or bad stuff.
I bet the James Joyce's Ulysses is a bit more difficult to translate than this... BTW, if you wanna sell a videogame worldwide in 2018 you must realize localization is gonna be part of the budget. A reason I haven't bought this nor Yakuza is the lack of localization in my language...
@IBeAGamer You first post said another thing. There's a little difference between "I don't like italian food" and "Italian food is junk", don't you think?
@IBeAGamer Have you already submitted your Curriculum Vitae to Sony? They are surely looking for a great writer able to create amazing side missions too. And I bet you are also a good programmer and the master of art style! Good luck!
You realize you are getting old when you receive as gift something you can wear at your own funeral instead of a useless videogame! Marry Christmas to the best internet community!
@Hego I see you are Irish... In 1997 me and my family hosted a student from Cork for two months. He loved everything about italian food, especially this special kind of pasta. If you dare, here's a recipe I found written in English... https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/tortellini-in-brodo/
Started right yesterday for the very first time. Beat 7 colossi in a row without a bit of thrilling... Great graphics and atmosphere, but also some disappointment for the lack of ideas.
@BranJ0 Be nice with Trico and he will be nice to you! He's some kind of a puppy and at first he is justifiably doubtful about you, but soon he'll be more cooperative.
Playing Dragon Quest XI, few hours in with the Stronger Enemies perk active. Looks pretty fun!
The Uncharted series is a predictable cinematic experience even on a gaming console, can't imagine how boring it could be to have a 2 hours movie full of collapsing bridges...
@Kiloman74 I tried to investigate but when I saw the site has 53 news articles about this game (the 1st one published on June 2015) I decided I'd better just wait for the review!
@FullbringIchigo In the meantime I'm gonna create a forum thread to share videos of ourselves singing and dancing the Mariah Carey's version of "All I want for Christmas is you".
@kyleforrester87 I think I got what you feel like... It's happening to me with RDR2 right now, it happened with TLOU and the Uncharted trilogy... It's not a matter of cutscenes (they are always welcome) but a matter of gameplay: those games makes me feel like I'm just playing a part (as an actor could do in a movie set) instead of playing a game (as a kid hunting imaginary dinosaurs in a city park). This is the reason I rated 10 games like Dishonored 2, Prey (2 games where I can really decide how to play), Bloodborne and Alien Isolation (since their gameplay is perfectly matching the world you are into). If I am a kid in a sandbox I just wanna play and I don't wanna an adult near me screaming "You can't do this, you can't do that" as it happens with many AAA games.
This game is crap. Finished it last night and I've spent most of the time laughing at the screen because of poor animation, stupid puzzles, broken stealth mechanics and a shooting session that would look pathetic even on a crappy phone game. And it already received 5 GB of patches... Push left stick up to beat the game, basically.
@hulkie There will be 3 "rounds", with new games every week. But if they all last 5 days as this one (30/11 - 04/12) then this kind of offer should end on December 14th.
Do you remember the guy whit the "godmode bug"? Maybe Bethesda added a Nylon Bag in the game so he can try to finally put the character out of his misery in the cheapest way...
"The sheer number of tracks and bikes to unlock, not to mention available modifications, is head spinning." "The gameplay is sensitive and enjoys basking in its own realism." "As alluded to, the number of features offered is second to none." "Presentation wise, the tracks and bikes look suitably pretty and will appeal to any motor head." So I assume it got a 7 instead of an 8 or a 9 just because "the customisable human avatars, however, look a little on the dodgy side, with some glitchy hair effects and odd-looking face designs." Just wondering, since I don't understand why a game that doesn't appeal the masses should be downgraded...
Added support for Red Dead Online Beta. Added fixes for crashing issues with Red Dead Redemption 2 version 1.03. Added fixes for stuttering/lag issues.

To pre-order an online game produced by Bethesda knowing it gets released one week before Black Friday sounds like a smart thing to do. I swear I'll do that with Fallout 77.

Re: PlayStation Now January Update Adds Prey, Metro 2033 Redux, More

Re: Game of the Year 2018: #5 - Detroit: Become Human
@IBeAGamer In that case next time you should explain why you didn't like a game you actually played instead of saying it's trash...
