@8bit4Life I think the difference about this expansion is we are not the main characters but sidekicks which is an interesting spin. Was it predictable, very but I don't think it was as bad as a 5/10.
@jmac1686 This is what I was thinking. I love my AST although not my main I still play it religiously and I am not not going to heal and if I get into a a dungeon they have made it so that NPCs can be used as a replacement. All the high tier stuff is going to have a healer and people will play like this was never a thing. Plus Xeno is as toxic as they come and he hates healers and mages but pretty much anything that isn't a Warrior.
@PuppetMaster I think is something a lot of people are forgetting because most of the in-house studios are western but we are just not seeing the fruits of the Chinese Hero Projects investments and its looking nice.
@Oregondan yea and even though you could switch weapon the skills were mid at best. Crazy to thin GW2 has the same concept with its skills but does it much better and that game is 12 years old
@Shepherd_Tallon I think if they follows the live service model of Helldivers 2 it will do well on that aspect it just needs to be fun in order to keep people coming back.
This game never claimed to be anything more than what is was from the start. People get made Sony doesn't have enough variety, then they make different games and suddenly "that's not what I wanted". The single player game aren't going away but you can't have. a business running on just that alone. Will this be good who knows, Helldrivers 2 got the same flack but that is also a PvE game so only time will tell.
@arsmolinarc From the day it was announced they said it was a PvP game. I don't know why everyone is acting like this is brand new news.
I wanted to buy this one when it originally came out but after playing the second one and hearing how inferior the first one is compared to the second I don't think I will.
I am always surprised how Falcom manages to get these games out the door so quickly when they have such a small budget. It makes you wonder what's going on with other studios.
This will be my first entry looking forward to it.
@LordAinsley It wasn't a bad game but the net code was harsh and laggy. Plus you have the Smash Bro purist who think only Smash is allowed to exist in this space.
There have been a lot of "SIM" games out there but still nothing has yet to outshine The Sims. A friend of mine was highly addicted to Second Life in college and almost ended up flunking out though, so there is a chance.

Re: Remain Chill, Playable Mrs. Freeze Will Soon Join Suicide Squad's Rogues' Gallery

@Stevemalkpus Yea this is really surprising but I think it speaks to the disappointment about MK1
Re: Dataminer Tips Terminator T-1000, Conan the Barbarian DLC for Mortal Kombat 1
For the amount of MK characters in the MK universe this game has way too many guest characters.
Re: Unsurprisingly, There Seems to Be a New Tales Game in Development
I would like a port of Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destiny 2. I don't think 2 ever made it to the states but I remember playing Destiny vividly.
Re: Unsurprisingly, There Seems to Be a New Tales Game in Development
@BatRastard From what Ive seen of it, I'd say a very loose spiritual sequel seeing as all combat is airship based.

Re: Preview: Phantom Blade Zero PS5 Slashes Through Soulslike Tropes for Pure, Cutthroat Action
Not until you mentioned it, I hadn't realized we really don't get games like Devil May Cry anymore. Why is that?

Re: Genre Pivot, 'Toxic Positivity' Blamed for Suicide Squad's $200 Million Flop

@SuntannedDuck2 Im not reading your Op-Ed

Re: Sony's New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Confirmed as a $40 Game
@Medic_alert It's funny people complained Sony didn't have a diverse set of games on the system then made something different and people complained.
Re: Rumour: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is a PS5, PC Game from Day One, Reveal at Summer Game Fest Tomorrow
