@nessisonett Oh please believe that I'm quivering with anticipation for that too but something about V2's now antiquated visual style and systems will always be closer to my heart than Paradox's new direction they've gone.
Happy for those looking forward to this but I feel really bad for having absolutely zero interest in the game and feeling like I'm missing out on something. I guess I just don't see the beauty in it at all or the appeal of another Souls-type of gameplay experience, I really wish I could see what so many others seem to.
@lolwhatno I've been on the internet long enough to know that when such a label is used it's used looking down upon the person(s) it's assigned to. I just don't think that's fair but whatever, it is what it is.
@Amusei I guess I just don't get the implicit disdain for casual gaming. I play those games, but I also play the major time sinks like HZD, GoW, RDR2, FF7, etc. but I don't consider myself as playing then anything more than casually, I guess I'm not even sure how to play then as anything more unless you mean professionally. I'm probably just being pedantic here.
@vapidwolf I don't even want to be that harsh, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that's fine but given the current circumstances of the industry and what was presented yesterday from both the high-profile titles as well as the smaller ones, I just don't know how someone could be disappointed to such a degree.
@NEStalgia All they've said is that they're looking to the future with innovation in mind. Respectfully, I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion you did from such a short statement above.
I'm certainly willing to be open to whatever they release but if there was any one series that I have no problems with sticking to the tried and true, it's DQ. More of the same would be just fine with me.

@Amusei What does "casuals" even mean here?

Liked it a lot despite being absolutely terrible at it. Just a really well-made game.
Re: Push Square Community Screenshot Competition Has Its Winner
Some day I'll stop being impressed with others' and my Spider-Man screenshots. Not today though.
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Voted PS5 Game of the Year on PS Blog
I'm enjoying FIFA fine enough, I guess, but what a drab collection of nominees in that category imo.

Re: Hands On: Don't Sleep on Voice of Cards - It Could Be a Special RPG
I mean, this was a good read but... it sounds exactly like the card game we saw in the video.
Re: Dragon Quest 11 Dev Orca Also Co-Developing Dragon Quest 12
Perhaps the only franchise where I'd be more than content with more of the same without reinventing the wheel.
Re: FIFA 22 Player Ratings Revealed, and Messi's Still Top of the League as Ronaldo Gets Docked a Point
@Jacko11 lol no, not even remotely close.
Re: FIFA 22 Player Ratings Revealed, and Messi's Still Top of the League as Ronaldo Gets Docked a Point
@Jacko11 Hi Madrid fan of 30+ years and club member here and he's comfortably not garbage in any sense of the word.
Re: FIFA 22 Player Ratings Revealed, and Messi's Still Top of the League as Ronaldo Gets Docked a Point
@Jacko11 Courtois garbage? Tell me you don't watch him without telling me you don't watch him.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Showcase 2021 Was Good, But Not Good Enough
No disrespect but is the staff at this site ever happy?

Call me when they bring over Victoria 2.

How windy is this world? Their hair won't stop moving.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
@Snake_V5 Likely because there are more selling points for the PS5 than primarily just PS Plus.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Well, one thing you can say about these games is that they're certainly games.
