Combat was servicable, quests and exploration were mostly fun, but the story was rubbish. Granted, I did not play 1 or 2, but even with me finishing the game, I just did not give a flying fig about any of the characters.
This is one game for which the hype has never died down for me. The art style, the combat, the music, the bosses, the progression. All of it is nearly perfect in execution. Silksong, with what little they have shown off, looks even more fluid in its combat and aesthetically stylish. I'll be there Day 1 WHENEVER this game comes out.
Really thinking about going to Gamefly and just renting the games I want to play for a flat rate a month, and keeping or using holiday money for the few games I will really want to collect.
Slightly off topic, but will they release more physical copies of this game? I would love to get it, but eBay's prices are too high, and that's the only place I see it.
The speedrun levels were the weakest, but I'll be there for any new content. They should do a Mario Galaxy 2-style expansion with some new game-changing mechanics explored across multiple levels.
Remasters of PS2 games were nice for playing those games in HD. Remasters of PS3 games were nice so the games wouldn’t be stuck on complicated architecture. But why, why do we have remasters of PS4 games that have already received PS5 upgrades on backwards compatible hardware?
They said the same thing about Final Fantasy 16; "Oh it's just a demo build the final release will be fine-tuned blah blah." If they're demoing it with that level of performance, then that's what we're getting and we better like it.
Idk in this case I think the touch grass rebuttal is valid. If you’re so disappointed with a game, even if it’s post launch, it’s better to just move on to something else.
Let’s be real, the future of gaming is mobile and PC. Publishers will then carve out their games into separate subscription services and we’ll be looking at the current television climate all over again.
I don't imagine we'll have to wait too terribly long to see Gamestop fold as well. It's sad for the people who are affected by layoffs and for my childhood memories with this company.
Naughty Dog had no business trying to make a standalone multiplayer game. Single player story games and 3D platformers, that’s what the people want from them!
I’m no stranger to playing long games, but I don't enjoy playing games for a long time because I keep dying and repeating the same areas. So not gonna play this one, I’ll be lucky to beat the 5th pantheon in hollow knight.
The archetype trailer for the show wasn’t that hype but Metaphor Re Fantazio is my highlight of the year. That release date trailer earlier in the year blew me away.
@freddquadros A fellow journeyman! For my sanity I’m only doing the main story for each game then going back to do the completion stuff once I’m caught up 😂
I'm mildly interested, but 1 had one of the weaker stories in the franchise. Kiwami slightly redeemed it with the added Nishiki cutscenes, but I feel like a series based on 0 would have been a much better choice. KUUUZZZZEEEEEE!
@AdamNovice I started in October and caught up with the MSQ at the end of January. If that’s your only goal, it’s very doable to complete by Dawntrail with time to level alt jobs or take on other activities.

Love to see it. I’m waiting to play Yotei on the Deck as well.
Re: Rumour: New Halo Game Will Be Announced for PS5 This Weekend
@Czar_Khastik I prefer money saving mode by not buying it at all!
Re: 'The Largest Game Launch in History': Rockstar Hypes GTA 6, and Who's Going to Argue?
@Oram77 Hopefully, the inevitable pre-orders and preloading will mitigate the server issues that happened when Silksong went live.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy's Conclusion Will Not Be PS5 Exclusive
@freddquadros Amen, praise the Lord 😂

Funny how both consoles that Atlus shone on with their games were non-HD (PS2 and 3DS) #bringback420pgaming
Re: Round Up: Total Lack of Mafia: The Old Country PS5 Reviews Is a Red Flag
Hmm, unfortunately, it sounds like there's nothing to see here. Back to Danganronpa!

Re: Sony's New First-Party Studio Working on Lighthearted Team-Based Action Game for PS5
You're not going to make the next Fortnite, Sony. Stick to single-player games, which is something you do very well when you want to.
Re: FromSoftware Wants to Explain Elden Ring Nightreign to You Again
Seeing what FromSoftware has on the horizon, I guess their golden age is now over.

Re: PS5 RPG Expedition 33 Has Some of the Highest User Ratings Ever

Getting excited for a Bethesda game was sooooooo 15 years ago.
Re: More Astro Bot Content on the Way as New Speedrun Level, Bot Revealed
The speedrun levels were the weakest, but I'll be there for any new content. They should do a Mario Galaxy 2-style expansion with some new game-changing mechanics explored across multiple levels.

Nope, I'm diving into Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
Re: Adorable Ape Escape Plushie and More Merch Returns as PlayStation Turns 30

Re: Heavy Metal GOATs Gather for Unholy Cult of the Lamb Tribute Album
Animals as Leaders is a nice surprise, and thematically appropriate!
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade
This game began development in 2011. Apparently it ended development in 2024. Absolutely ridiculous.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS5) - Brilliant, Memorable RPG Is One of Atlus' Finest Works
Would the Pro alleviate these graphics and performance issues?
Re: Hideo Kojima's Dream of Breaking into Hollywood Is Nearly a Reality
As long as the cutscenes are in his games, it might be better for him to make a limited TV series instead of a movie.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws' Rescue Roadmap Provides a Snapshot of Modern PS5 Gaming
Is Star Wars really worth the blind devotion people still give its products these days?
Re: Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 Pro Is 'Pure Eye Candy at Race Car Levels of Performance'
I love when Horizon games come out, because chances are an amazing game that you’re better off playing is releasing at the same time!

Hollow Knight Silksong??????

Picture it: Sicily, 1923.
Re: Capcom Debuts 1 Hour of Raw Monster Hunter Wilds Gameplay on PS5, Looks Outstanding
I haven't played a Monster Hunter game, do fights usually take that long?

Re: Next Ryu Ga Gotoko Game to Be Revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2024
Remastered collection with Kenzen, Dead Souls, the two Panther games, and cutscenes from the online game???
Like a Dragon HD 1.5 Tojo Collection??
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Director Explains the RPG's Lack of Persona-Style Romance
The protagonist never had the makings of a varsity romancer. Small hands.

@Deadlyblack which is weird because Xbox is the last place people want to play RPG’s lol but at this point PlayStation isn’t much better.
Re: Strategy Sequel SteamWorld Heist 2 Sets Sail on PS5, PS4 This August
This is not the “one more announcement” I was hoping for.
Re: Gorgeous Indie Game Animal Well Joins PS Plus Extra Day One on PS5
