@Neonix why exactly do you want to see this game flop?

I'm so glad that i waited until the honeymoon phase was over and people started criticizing and reporting the flaws Oblivion Remastered has. This game is a mess and Virtuos (can't remember how to write their name) did nothing to fix it. If i had bought the game i would be pissed

Bethesda can shadow drop anything they want, i won't be buying until I'm 100% sure the game is playable with no framerate drops, stutters or crashes

@Boxmonkey Steam Machine has a better CPU than the base PS5. Base PS5 has a better GPU and more memory, so i wouldn't say that "weaker than PS5" statement is completely true, because it isn't, but i wouldn't call it a complete fake news either, because it's at least partially correct

I'd say let them cook. With Saros, Marvel Tokon and Wolverine coming next year, I'll have enough Playstation games to savor

Huh, i see both Supermarket Simulator and Cloverpit actually skipped PS5, at least for now, but they are on Xbox consoles. Looks like the devs for both games were pissed that someone cloned their games, put them on PS Store and Sony didn't do anything. I don't blame them.

There are so many copies of this game on PS Store already...Sony just doesn't care about improving their systems to restrict asset flip garbage scams to be sold in their story, to the point that even people here commenting already got scammed and bought such clones

Not live here in Brazil until 4 am (it's 10:27 pm here now). I don't have enough money to buy almost anything until December 5th lol oh well, at least i bought a bunch of games in past sales

Thanks for the info Steam, the platform i barely use nowadays

Already played the first beta and I'll definitely play it again

I'm not interested in acquiring this thing at all but i do want to see how expensive will it be and how many units it'll sell

@Flaming_Kaiser yes, pretty much. I like how combative she is towards everyone and doesn't take anything for granted. I do this all the time lol

@Dalamar i couldn't disagree more with you. I'm actually enjoying the game (started yesterday again after losing my attention with other games in the past, something that i do often with all games i start playing) and Aloy questioning everyone and everything is what i do in the real world. I'm inquisitive, I'm not that approachable, I'm stubborn as ***** and i think she's not that different from me (though i doubt she's autistic like i am). I'm also enjoying exploring the world and hunting machines. The combat is really good (melee is obviously not the first option here) and the story got me intrigued.

I'm glad most people in the comments are not letting this review persuade them into no getting the game. We need more people like this, that instead of believing everything the reviewer says, question their metrics and thought process that they used for analyzing the game. Gotta love independent thinking lol

Good. Time to focus on PS5 and let the PS4 rest in peace.

@Moj500 lol do you think North America or Europe is the whole world or something? Do you think the whole world operates with just one currency? Ever heard of Brazil? Yeah, i live there and there this game is costing 340 reais, our currency. It's 10 bucks cheaper than i thought, which doesn't change anything, it's still expensive for most brazilians

I didn't lose anything. All you had to do was to take look at my profile to see where i live. Next time do some research about pricing in other countries and stop thinking that everyone who comes here to post are from 1st world countries

You'll go to my ignore list for your rude and shallow response, btw. You earned this one

Yeah, I'll "press X to doubt" on this review here. At least for now this is the lowest score this game has in Opencritic and reviews in Metacritic are good (though there are only 2 for now, but none of them are below 8). Seems to me the game it's still worth a try and the reviewer just didn't like it

@Moj500 I'm not gonna spend 340 bucks in a game in any situation, Resident Evil is no exception, unless i could play a demo to see if the game would click with me. And no, every new RE game is quite different than the last one. RE 6 isn't the same as RE7 which isn't the same as RE2/3 Remake which isn't the same as RE Village. No matter what game is, i won't give my money to any company that easily

Not interested. I'm not a PS Plus member since last year and that lasted 30 days only because i wanted to get a discount for a bundle of Risk of Rain 2

Seems like every studio that Microsoft buys eventually starts to go down the s****er and Activision isn't an exception. CoD is dead for me since 2011 and their last decent game was MW2 (2009). I just hope BF6 gets the recognition it deserves

Hmm, what a shame. I'll have to skip this one and wait for a big sale, them. Asking 340 bucks with no demo is too much for me

@Reyzore i totally agree with you. Ball X Pit could easily take E33 spot, for example, and there are a lot of other indie games that could get this slot. I feel bad for the indie devs...

I'm the minority here because i didn't like E33. I've played and finished the game and yet i thought the game wasn't that good. Presentation, voice acting, music are pretty good, but gameplay wasn't that good imo

I thought that the level design was confusing, and without a map i was wondering left and right to figure out where to go. The devs should've used the golden path philosophy here, imo. Not having a journal to track sidequests and additional information about the story was also a negative aspect for me, but by far my biggest complaint about this game is the combat. Camera positioning is awful sometimes. How the hell am i supposed to see when an enemy is about to attack me when the camera's behind Monoco's ass? And i just hated how sometimes the camera kept moving around when i was about to be attacked. I need to keep my focus on what's going on and the drunken effect from the camera isn't helping me

Another big complaint i have, which is very specific: the endgame. The endgame bosses are just a parry fest. You get bombarded by their attacks for almost a minute and then you attack and rinse and repeat. It gets boring and annoying really fast. Make a mistake in your timing and your whole team is wiped out. I dropped the game after doing almost all boss fights, with only 3 or 4 remaining. I was enjoying the game even with its flaws, but the whole parry bombardment pissed me off too much

All these issues turned this game from a solid 9 to a weak 6 for me. Definitely not my personal GOTY but i do understand why a lot of people enjoyed this game. And let me make this very clear, people: this is my opinion. I bought the game, i played it for more than 80h. I persevered. I can have a negative opinion without being treated like a troll, right? Right

@PuppetMaster E33 is definitely not an indie game by any means. It's the whole Dave The Diver situation again

A South of Midnight PS5 port would be very cool

@PuppetMaster this. I think with mobile they can do whatever they want and push for microtransactions or just put the game full price there and people will buy them. Hell, they can even revive old IPs there, like Killzone and see how well it goes so they can then bring these games over to Playstation eventually. I don't think development costs will be that high and they can profit from that. They can definitely profit more on mobile than on PC and not having the risk of their games being played on a future Xbox machine or be cracked in less than 12h and be free for everyone to play on the internet

@GamingGod yeah, that's definitely true. I think Sony is shooting themselves on their foot by this point. The more ports they put on PC, the more people will switch over to PC and less profit they'll have on their own platform. If more people are going to PC, then they'll buy every game there, including 3rd party games instead of buying them on Sony's consoles, so Sony will lose part of their 1st party profit AND completely lose their 3rd party profit because Valve and Epic will get this money (or none of them will if the person pirates the game, since they can't even put a decent DRM in their own games)

@UltimateOtaku91 valid points. Releasing live service games on PC it's a good idea. They should keep the single player games exclusives to Playstation consoles while investing in mobile, which can be quite profitable for them and i bet microtransactions there are very welcome and there's less piracy as well

@Porco preach, my friend!! You are 100% correct

The more Sony focus on consoles, the better. I couldn't care less about PC

Don't think this thing will be a threat at all. I'll definitely not be buying this. I couldn't care less about the stuff Valve puts out

@ButterySmooth30FPS i mean, yes, sure. I definitely prefer the PS5 version of any digital game i buy than the PS4 version (with exception of Elden Ring), but i was expecting a RDR2 PS5 native port. I don't own RDR1 on my PS5 and I'm not really interested in getting now, but i hope that they don't bump the price of the PS4 version now because I'll probably get this one in the future, just not now

Why? I mean, ok, it's nice that you can free upgrade your PS4 version to PS5, but... there's nothing really interesting here. I'm pretty sure that you can't do much with a 2010 game in terms of graphics and even if i love adaptive trigger and haptic feedback, this is still not that interesting. They should just release an update for RDR2

It was meh for me

One of the best Survival Horror games I've played in recent years. Still gotta play more to see all the other endings, though. Don't care about the Xbox port

Never liked F4 (F3 is a much better game) so i don't even own this game on PS5 and never will

No surprises here

Never played but I'll give it a 10 because the devs actually heard brazilian gamers and lowered the price of the game on PS Store, to the point where it's cheaper than the Steam version. I wish more publishers and devs could be like this and not let Playstation Brazil act like a money hungry mercenary

@RobN that's an interesting thought. I hate Square Enix with a passion but your reasoning makes sense so I'll hold on judgment for now lol

Nah, i don't think it'll happen, but i wish they could release a PS5 patch to run the game better

Hmm let me see:

PS Store crashes constantly when I'm browsing games. Today it happened to me at least 5 times

Wishlisted games aren't displayed properly on PS5, only on PS App

Wishlist capacity is laughable at best. I have to constantly remove games from it to make space for other games

PS App has a bug where whenever you browse games that are on sale, they show up repeatedly when you're scrolling down the screen

Fake scam asset flip garbage being offloaded constantly every day on PS Store

PS Store games in Brazil are extremely expensive compared to Xbox and Nintendo. Yes, you pay more for X game just because it's available on Playstation. We brazilians call this the "Playstation tariff"

I love Sony and Playstation. Keep doing what you're doing guys! Nice work supporting your own system and making your users happy

I couldn't care less about this study. I'll keep buying physical media whenever i can

Source: a reddit post with a screenshot that don't even show the name of the game. My boomer dad would probably believe in that thread

They used in the right ways, no big deal. Wishing all the best to the devs with their new game

My opinion as a brazilian gamer: no, I'm not happy to pay to play online, that's why i don't pay for PS Plus. That's the TL;DR version

Now, the long version. PS Plus prices were raised by a large margin here in Brazil, add this to the fact that almost every game on Playstation Store in Brazil is way more expensive than games on Xbox, Steam or even Nintendo, and you have a situation where someone like me is stuck in a platform for lack of options while paying more money just to play the same game other people in other platforms pay less to play

PC isn't the best option for me because:

a) they're insanely expensive here in Brazil

b) most PC ports are lacking in optimization + other complications, like drivers breaking games, shader compilation stutters that usually can't be fixed by us users and so on. I switched from PC back to consoles last year because of these issues

The next Xbox hardware could, in theory, be the best option for me, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure this thing will cost an arm and a leg here in Brazil, so that's a big no for me. Too bad because their idea of a hybrid PC and console sounds really interesting, though I'm not sure how this is going to work

So i guess I'll stick to PS6, not 100% sure yet, but one thing I'm certain of: not gonna pay to play online, ever. Of course you have other benefits on Plus, like the catalogue of games to play and etc, but i usually buy these games anyway, and i don't like the idea of having access to a game just as long as I'm paying for a service

Now, the saving grace in all of this could be the PS6 price and the hope that one day Playstation will stop converting dollars to whatever currency X country use and do the same thing as Xbox and Nintendo is doing, which is to regionalize their prices according to each country. If they do this i would glady buy every Playstation console in the future and never rely on PC ever again

@Rich33 i didn't know that. Maybe if i play the demo I'll keep that in mind, though, thank you for telling me this. Sometimes devs patch their demos but it's not that common, so i don't think this case will be any different, unfortunately

This article makes no sense at all

I forgot about this game. Have to try the demo, but I'm not that eager to try

Saw the video way before this article was out. I'm just glad i didn't buy a Pro

I'd rather have a remastered Fallout 3. Fallout 4 was so disappointing for me

I own MCC on my Xbox One. I played it for 1 hour back in 2020, dropped it and never played it again. I just don't find these games interesting, though i did finish ODST back in 2009 but that was it. Halo Wars, though, is an awesome game

@Jrs1 of course! You're welcome!
