Re: Hands On: God of War: Sons of Sparta Shows Real Promise with Lovely Pixel Art and Punchy Combat

@cainhurst94 nothing about this pixel art is cheap it looks almost just like Blasphemous and those games def don’t look cheap. Tbh most of it comes down to console warriors hating and the super hardcore ps fans that can’t stand anything that isn’t super realistic graphics especially from series where that’s usually the norm. Like hunters gathering is absolutely beautiful with some of the best animations in gaming and crazy amount of detail and looks like Mitchell and the Machines but it’s a playable game but because the main series has super realistic graphics the fans are throwing a hissy fit and saying some of the dumbest ***** about the game.

I’ve put two hours into it so far and I’m loving it. It def feels premium with controls that are rock solid and smooth,it’s surprisingly story heavy for a metroidvania which I love,the combat is fun and starting to open up and the pixel art is absolutely beautiful with the areas having nice variety of things going on in the background. It also has challenges that you’ll naturally be working towards while playing that offer myriad rewards as well as sidequests and a deep codex which I always love.

Re: 'No Need to Be Embarrassed About It': Zenless Zone Zero Staff Say 'It's Painfully Obvious' They're Working Tons of Overtime

dark_knightmare2

I’m tired of hearing performative people complain about crunch and then turn around and complain games take too long to come out. People work overtime whether it’s enforced or optional as long as they’re getting paid who cares. Nobody really cares that ND had to enforce overtime in the lead up to Christmas it just gave them an excuse to hate on ND and nobody cares I have to work overtime or my mom and dad do yet I’m supposed to care about developers that I don’t personally know and who don’t worry about me yeah you can miss me that bullsh*t

Re: 'We Still Have More Characters to Announce': ArcSys Promises Big 2026 for Marvel Tokon as Community Sours on PS5, PC Fighter

I’m casual as hell and had a blast in the most recent beta. I never fight other real players and just stick to single player but this title actually made me want to and I actually won some of my matches. I don’t feel like it’s that complicated if you pay attention to the in depth tutorial they make you play upon start up if you do and after some practice you’ll be pulling of some awesome looking moves in no time and it’s a blast

Re: Deus Ex Remastered Delayed Indefinitely Following Fan Backlash

dark_knightmare2

@DennisReynolds that’s really not true I watched a video comparing and the biggest thing is the levels are cut up with loading screens because of the ps2 power and there is very little that was actually wholesale removed. I got the plat for the ps2 on ps5 version and it ran at a buttery smooth 60 and the controller support was actually pretty good. As for the game itself after years of seeing it be hyped up was a bit of a letdown. Stealth absolutely sucks and is barely viable and the whole imsim aspect is truly barebones with barely any secrets to find and shortcuts to unlock while the story is just ok. Honestly deus ex HR and especially MD are better like infinitely better imo

Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?

dark_knightmare2

@tameshiyaku yes exactly and I’m glad you brought up Kitsune because that part of the story is great from characters,location design and theme,enemies and story. Oni is really good too for the same reasons but Kitsune is on another level and nothing not one thing in Tsushima even comes close

Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?

dark_knightmare2

I love when chuds invade a sites poll. In no universe was Tsushimas story better than Yotei and Yotei has a game is better than Tsushima in almost every way yet the poll results aren’t showing that. Tsushima was a AC lite while Yotei is a RDR 2 lite with way better exploration that rewards exploration organically,keeps its side activities to a minimum and every few does a little thing to switch them up and the world feels alive with people just trying to get by not to mention how many unmarked sidequests and interactions you can run across just like in RDR 2. The combat is better because of the new weapons so it helps keep it fresher for way longer than Tsushima did and the sidequests are infinitely better than Tsushima where damn near every one was follow these footprints to find person oh no person is dead proceed to fight some mongols and finish. Story and character is super subjective but I def enjoyed Atsu and the story way more than Jin and his story which I liked but didn’t love like Yotei.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Silent Hill F?

dark_knightmare2

I’m playing it and loving it. I played a little of 1 on ps1 when I was young and don’t remember anything about it and played 2 remake last year and really liked it but felt the story while good had been way overhyped over the years by people talking about it so that’s the extent of my silent hill experience. This game though is amazing and it’s story is to me as good as what people who talk about 2

Re: Mafia: The Old Country (PS5) - Historical Crime Story Runs Out of Ammo

dark_knightmare2

How are people saying Mafia 2 is still the best when this one craps on it from a great height. I just played Mafia remake and 2 before this came out and 2 is so outdated and repetitive it’s ridiculous. The amount of enemies you mow down in boring gunfights is crazy and the story doesn’t even touch Old Country or Mafia 1. Empire Bay was nowhere near as cool as Lost Heaven or Sicily and Enzo is easily the best main character the series as had. The story might not be original but neither were the first two Mafia games or looking at movies Goodfellas or Casino. It’s about how the story is told,the characters and the performances which this game nails not to mention focusing it around a love story is pretty unique. How many female characters can you name from most mob stories who aren’t just window dressing or just there to say there’s a woman in the cast I’ll wait.
