Could anyone who's played the game let me know; is it anything like Fallout 3/4 / Skyrim in space? If it's even a little like that, I'll probably enjoy it despite the lackluster reception.
I just wish there was a compatibility mode for PSVR1 games. I sold that headset because it had so many issues for me, figuring I'd just upgrade to the 2 when it came out. Without backwards compatibility with the twenty or so games I'd already purchased, it just seems like a slap in the face. Playing Skyrim in VR is 90% of the reason I'd want this, but unless I want to buy a gaming PC that's not happening.
It's a game where I always feel safe. I'd buy it once a month if I had to but the fairly frequent updates, which should be called expansions, are free. I'm so thankful that the game is continuing to find its audience. The world needs a bit of cozy right now.
I'll be preordering Control 2 the millisecond it's on the store. I do that maybe once every three or four years. I've been gaming since the Atari days, and Control is one of those games that made me fall even more deeply in love with this medium. They've earned my money 😹
So much time has passed, I wonder if it would have been better if they'd gone into production of a sequel rather than a massive DLC for a game only some will go back for.
I used to think I was good at video games. I was always the best of anyone I knew. Any time I'd be in a situation where I could play against new people--people's houses, arcades--I'd always beat them, often outright destroying them.
Then online gaming became a thing and I was humbled quite quickly. I'd love for that to happen to Zuckerberg--some random South Korean kid just destroying him without even trying. Publicly, of course. 😹
I've been holding off, waiting for this update to begin yet another farm. The timing is perfect and I'm more than ready to head back in. I'm really looking forward to it.
I bought this at launch but found some of the mechanics to be frustrating so I fell off of it. I'll definitely pick it up again after this fantastic update! I love when devs allow people to enjoy games the way they want to.
As someone with RSI, bless the people who make games like this. Day one buy, along with the DLC. I've warned my wife she might see little of me these following weeks.
FINALLY I'll be able to live out my Godzilla / Kong fantasy... of being some random guy.
Hopefully this reviews well and people like it, I just can't find anything here to get excited for. The platforming looks about as smooth as Another World.
For anyone as momentarily confused as I was-- The Exit 8 has nothing to do with The Exit 9, which is the Stumble Guys version of The Exit 8. The Street 10 is not by the same developer as The Exit 8, but is heavily inspired by The Exit 8 and is considered an homage more than a ripoff. So, I'm grabbing The Street 10 and The Exit 8 for a total of $5.78. Not bad.
I had a $5 credit thanks to points from a recent spending spree including Baldur's Gate 3, which brought this down to $12. That's an easy decision! Can't wait to experience this
Help me out gang. I'm interested in either trying this game or Genshin but NOT BOTH as I don't want my wife to divorce me and I don't even realize it happened. The natural aesthetic of Genshin appeals to me more, but the ZZZ play style looks more appealing. Can anyone offer any advice? I know I could pump a few hours into each and decide that way but I have a feeling I'd just stick with whichever I started playing first. 😹
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the game, but by the time I got the fairly grindy platinum, I was more than ready to move on.
I can't see myself heading back in so long after the base game came out to play the DLC. I'd have to basically relearn how to play the game, and I've likely forgotten many of the details of the story.
It was one of my favorite games of last year, but my backlog is making threatening gestures at me as I type this.
I'm so much more excited to play this now. I play games for the worlds and the characters, I don't care about the combat anymore. When I was a kid I beat every Mega Man and every Crash Bandicoot and whatnot, but I don't have all night to spend on a single section of a game anymore. I barely have time to game at all, and I don't want it to spend that time getting repeatedly destroyed by a boss fight.
Offering these options takes nothing away from those who want to play on crushing difficulty. I'm glad that games like this allow players to tailor the experience to their own liking.
I've got a mild disability that limits my hands' dexterity. I love the world that has been created for this game but due to the lack of accessibility options I'll never be able to play it. That said, I respect the creator's vision. They can do whatever they want with their own game. As bummed as I am that I'm excluded, there are plenty of other games for me to play.
This should have happened years ago. The demand has always been there and that game is basically perfect as is. I hope they don't James Cameron Aliens this.
I bought this at launch but haven't gotten around to it yet. This DLC looks adorable! I know there's already one DLC out, if I play the base game and want more, it's good to know there's so much additional content.
I loved the first game. For about five hours, and then it was a slog which I never finished. Rarely have I gone from enjoying a game to it feeling like an absolute chore so quickly. Maybe that's just me?
When I play a Capcom game they want me to log in to my Capcom account. Same for Square, Activision... it's annoying but it's just a part of modern gaming. 🙃
The amount of free content this guy's released over the years... it's just insane. Quite often when I'm feeling the pull to return to the Valley, it coincides with a new update. I've been feeling the pull for the last few months but am holding off for 1.6. New dialog, a new celebration, winter clothing, a new farm map, this is going to be amazing!
Lack of backwards compatibility with PSVR games killed all enthusiasm for me. I sold my PSVR because of tracking issues that ruined the enjoyment, figuring I’d just get the next gen when it came out. So, those plans were dashed and now I own a bunch of games I’ll never be able to play.
@Quintumply Great review! I’ve had my eye on this since it was announced and I’m so excited that your review was so positive.
Are there hunger and thirst systems? Do you have to hunt for food at all? Those mechanics often ruin a game for me as I don’t want to spend a third of my session killing innocent squirrels or something.
@AndyKazama When I was a kid NES games were routinely $50 at launch, which is $107 adjusted for inflation. The price of a PS4 game in 2013 was $60, which would be $80 today, adjusted for inflation. Prices haven’t gone up, they’ve gone down.
@MegaManX-7 I want to play the entire campaign as Atreus, and I want to be incredibly underpowered. Near useless melee, a hundred arrows to kill basic mobs. I’ll accept nothing less. Or more.
I’ve tried to play more immersive characters in Skyrim, where I use the signposts and follow roads and paths. Then I get twelve quests in a row that are designed to basically wander off in every possible directions, clearly to get the player to explore and open up the map. By the time I’ve done all of that I get sick of traveling everywhere by foot or by carriage and start fast tracking everywhere. And that’s Skyrim, a world that is an absolute delight to wander through. The nature is beautiful and often relaxing, but pick and direction and you’ll find something interesting within the next few minutes.
So, yeah, I’ll be very interested in seeing if this claim turns out to be true! I’d love for it to be.
It’s to the point where anyone can generate an AI voice from a few clips, in seconds. This isn’t going away, regardless of how people react to it. Getting as upset as some people have gotten over AI is just wasted energy. I understand the actions of unions trying to protect their workers, and I stand with those unions. But the genie is absolutely out of the bottle. Now it’s a matter of learning to live within the new world.
Kind of a random question here—are there any apples or horns from Nornir chests in this DLC? My Full Belly trophy never popped in the base game and I haven’t wanted to do an entire playthrough again just to get that trophy. If there’s another apple or horn in the DLC, sometimes that can trigger trophies that should have already popped. I doubt that this DLC would have Nornir chests, certainly with an increase in health or rage, but I had to ask!
How would the difficulty of this one rate? I loved Rogue Legacy and could beat the main game just fine, but I tend to lose interest in anything too difficult. 😹
I experienced multiple issues, including two crashes and two instances where I had to reset from the previous checkpoint in order to advance. That said the previous game I’d played was Cyberpunk 2077 so it was still a polished walk in the park.
I can see why they kept the Venom identity under such tight wraps—I never would have suspected a resurrected Aunt May!
In all seriousness, I started Cyberpunk 2077 when Phantom Liberty came out, and I’m having a blast. While I preordered Spider-Man 2, I’m so close to finishing Cuberpunk and obtaining the platinum that I’m going to do that first. Then I’ll play SM2, then I’m going to go back and do all the Phantom Pain stuff!
