I'm excited and scared at once. I love to death Painkiller. Especially for it's havok engine usage so I'm scared unreal engine will make it less funny. PS3 P:H&D would be good if it won't suffer of that tragic camera movement. Well... I'll dust off my PC and run Black Edition soon.
@ShogunRok You reviewed, as I would say "another random average RPG". But I've didn't read anywhere how it fits to Assassin's Creed saga? Is it step towards basic direction of AC series, ergo replaying piece of history, thru Animus, to get informations about things necessary for present day story? Or is that just another random Assassin's Creed game that doesn't push present day story anywhere, have (almost) no connections with previous games and playing it, or not, doesn't affect understanding of Assassin's Creed saga??? Thank you for answer.
@eM1x029 Thank you. So it looks Extra isn't for me. I have about 2 hours a day for playing and huge backlog. Average game (40 hours) takes me about month and paying extra money for this "hurry" library doesn't seem like good investment.
1) Don't worry, I still mix up L1, L2, R1 and R2 after 20 years on controller. 2) Forget about GoW 4 Ascension, GoW 5 and GoW 6 Ragnarok and focus ONLY on GoW 1,2,3!!!
I have only Essential. Do someone make track of comming and leaving games in Extra? In other words, do games stay similar time, or do it vary too much (like some games stay forever and some games leave in month or two)?
I wonder... I just wonder what it will be. With huge Xcom experience combined with movies seen dozen times, Stormtroopers accurancy will be 75% chance to hit and your team will have only 1 health point.
In this GaaS overwhelmed age it is inapropriate to mock someone. Every studio know themselves they are making mistake and waste as many resources as they can by making GaaS that have about 0.0001% to succeed. There is no need to mock them atop.
As I know, from my 4000+ dvd/bd/uhd library right now only 3 discs suffered from disc rot. The problem lies mainly in production process. All discs that died, in my collection, had rough edges and it looked like silver layer was glued on disc. The best condition have discs with round edges where silver layer is "laminated inside" of disc.
Games are living pieces of art. Expression of human thoughts. I'm interrested in this.
AI is made to kill, steal, rip off, torn to pieces and sew together someone's work. Only because of human lazyness to make it themselve. I'm not interrested in this dead frankenstein thing.
I think people should not be only informed where AI was used, but given option (defaultly declined) to contribute to AI by any form.
@themightyant I also don't know why it happened. I liked that drive and pace it had until I hit open area. It suddenly slowed ... I don't know. Maybe in that time I got information about that monster scaling according to equip, so I lost interrest on grinding... In that time I had some legendaries already and beasts were somehow hard and fights started to be rather annoying... maybe that was the reason...
Perfect game ...until you hit open world. Then it somehow stopped to be fun. I don't know exactly why.
But true game killer was equip scaling. The better gear you have (even just equip and unequip), the stronger creatures are. So stick with your basic equip and everything will be fine.
@Jey887 Try to read some reviews of biggest game flops, DOA games, or just any controversial game. It doesn't much differentiate from user reviews. They just praise positives (if any) and don't speak about cons, while users rather point out cons forgetting to mention positives.
CORRECTION: One of the biggest PS Plus Essential games for some time, TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection, is available to download now for all active members, along with two additional PS5, PS4 titles in Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
But it reminds me how I've tried RockBand Endless Song List 2 on Hard. Few songs before finish (Ace of Spades) I got cramp to my wrist so I even couldn't hold anything. ...8 hours straight was wasted...
I bought Twisted Metal on PS2 in those days as everybody was talking about it. I've played it for about 20 minutes and returned back to Carmageddon. Actually, Twisted Metal is one huge chaos. Even TES:Daggerfall map has more sense.
It is all only backlash of their acts they made to gaming industry (meaning ALL developers).
Since World of Warcraft success, everybody try to make same milking cow. Pushing industry towards MMO has reached it's peak years ago and all years now it is only about dragging players from one to another.
Yes, MTXs hepled to slice more money, but it is not solution.
More terrible acts they made to singleplayer. They jumped on delusion wagon their game must be bigger, better, longer. This myth reached absurdly huge dimensions so we get to point where thousands people work for years on one game, thinking it will live for years.
None of them just stop and think about current situation. What is current state of gaming?
Millions of players are playing one game for years (Fortnite, Fifa, GTA5...) and they are not willing to spend their money elsewere, only occasionally. Rest is pushed to thinking any new game must bring long game experience. But it also leads to "don't spend on another game". Constant updates, seasons, added content... this all leads to "you don't need another game".
Simply, they are wondering why people don't spend on new games, when they are pushed on not spending on another games.
Isn't it better give people shorter, smaller, simpler games and if it succeed sell them sequels? No stupid DLCs, no MTXs, just equaly good stand alone sequels.
Leave MMO live their life, where lost souls drown their gaming in endless grinding, never ending repeating same things, and don't try to make same thing out of any singleplayer game.
Any game isn't famous because of it is bigger or longer than another. Don't create huge worlds just to fill it with generic content. Make worlds adequate to it's story. It saves resources, time and money.
