@get2sammyb I’d actually say the opposite in that I think the 3DS version was too streamlined, I’d be happy with a middle ground between the obtuse nature of the PS1 original and the simplified 3DS version. I also expressed my wish for this remake like a couple weeks ago on here and now feel compelled to buy a lottery ticket.
@1UP-HUSKY Kingdom Hearts 3 is probably my biggest disappointment in all of gaming. With the sheer wait and the general quality of the games leading up to it, I wasn’t quite expecting such a mediocre game. That’s what got me, not the plot feeling rushed and messy, not the combat being far too easy, it was the sheer boredom I felt playing it. I still haven’t replayed it, whereas I’ve beaten the rest of the series multiple times.
If Part 3 is indeed the final part of the FF7 Remake, I just don’t know how they top the original ending without overblowing it. The absolute simplicity of the post credits scene is the series at its best and well, simplicity is not really in Nomura’s vocabulary.
The mansion really reminds me of the Sniper Assassin level from Hitman 2 more than anything. I trust IO completely, if anyone can pull it off then it’s them. Naughty Dog have sh*t the bed when it comes to PS5 so honestly I don’t care about comparisons to Uncharted, the series might as well be dead outside of inevitable remakes and remasters.
(Also is that tagline alluding to The Hitman and Her or am I mad)
I want it as soon as possible. But then I still haven’t played Indiana Jones cause it’s not really dropped in price so I hope I can get this sooner rather than later.
She lacks a certain level of camp that Lara Croft has. Angelina Jolie absolutely had it. Also this is PWB for Amazon therefore it will never ever happen, she learned from her parents how to make a living out of sheer thievery lol they’re literally in the Paradise Papers.
What a disaster this gen has been. I’m not being funny, the PS3 continued to drop in price amidst the financial crash. If parts aren’t going down now, it’s a concerted effort to keep the rich richer.
@RagnarLothbrok Hollywood would butcher… Call of Duty? The series that’s essentially a Michael Bay movie every campaign? In what possible way could Hollywood butcher a series of games directly inspired by Hollywood war movies?
I absolutely know what he means. Switch games have a long sales lifespan because there are so many units out there and it’s a console that encourages pick up and play across multiple titles. The PS5 is very expensive, along with PS Plus if your game’s online, and you have to buy a game to sit down and play.
SC should really have just been merged with FC for this remake. I like those games but you can’t deny there’s a lot of fluff and repetition between the two games with them using the exact same map and everything. It’s two parts of the same story. I’d say I want 3rd to get that amount of love but I don’t trust modern Falcom writers with that game, especially the darker elements.
The happiest purchase imaginable. With new games being £60 or £70, I have to shift things around to justify that purchase, so very rarely buy new games. This is a crazy good price for a game that doesn’t even really need to try hard to get my attention.
I actually own it on PS3 but it’s one of those games you can’t play with a DS4/Dualsense which is annoying. At least I could play this, however blurry it is. They should really bundle it with the ported version though.
I’m slightly confused how it can be this bad but Liam managed to play the game perfectly well. To be fair, I had an absolute mess my first Spider-Man PS4 playthrough on launch which nobody else had, because my hard drive only had a month left.
Psychonauts 2 is a great get, loved the first one when I played it. Viewfinder…. all I know about it is that video of it being muted after that one terrible line.
@ApostateMage Music seems to be a mix of old and new, same as Skate 3 was for the time. I think we forget that these games’ soundtracks had modern stuff for the time, it was most apparent for me in the jump between Underground 2 and American Wasteland when I suddenly realised that the songs were from the actual time the games came out.
It’s true, gaming’s only experiences with horniness delve more into underage blow-up dolls than actual genuine sex. It’s literally the oldest act of all time, it’s very much a part of movies, TV and music so not sure why gaming shies away so much.
@B0udoir Honestly a decent way of doing it, especially if it’s solid wood given the cheaper brands skimping on wood is a sure fire way to really badly injure yourself. The first thing I look for in these games though are Independent trucks, brand loyalty is a powerful thing! I was surprised to see my wheels were in THPS 3+4 though given they’re mostly for cruising.
@Majin_Deicide Ironically, that’s the best solution to stop the game from being delisted, have the brands be on an individual pay scheme and rotate them in and out to avoid licensing issues down the line. I would not spend a penny but I hope there’s some way to save up in game money solely just to see if I can recreate my irl board that I’m terrified of since smashing the f**k out of my elbow months ago.

I thought they already did this on Switch with new modes.
Re: 'We Were Debating Whether to Go Straight into The Last of Us 3': Expect More Infected in the Future
Best case scenario is that this one isn’t even divisive, it’s just absolutely panned and we get Uncharted back.

Yep, can’t buy it even on its page on the PS Store. Crazy.
