Re: Vince Zampella, Call of Duty Co-Creator and Respawn Boss, Tragically Dies Aged 55

RIP Vince. I feel for his family, especially now that we're approaching Christmas and i also feel for the other person that was with him too

To this day i love both MW and MW2 games. I spent hours playing Titanfall 2 online and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor are one of my favorite games ever. It's really sad seeing someone so influential passing away like this and a lot of people seem to agree with me

However, this is the only place on the internet that I've seen people actually judging and criticizing a deceased person as if they're somehow better than everyone. I'm glad that Vince's family won't probably read this kind of senseless ***** here.

@LikelySatan i think the best way is to play a lot of runs on Drizzle difficulty first (Easy Mode) but you can also search for some YouTube guides made by content creators who are experts in this game. Woolie is a good choice, i think, but you can just search for any videos on YouTube that are made for specific survivors. Try to look for guides that are specific to a survivor so you can learn how to use their kit properly. You can also use the game's wiki (.gg, not the "normal" wiki) for additional info on how to unlock items, alternative skills, how each item procs and whatnot. Don't feel intimidated because this game is huge and it's quite difficult, so don't feel discouraged, just keep trying!

One more thing: the Seekers of the Storm DLC had a very big update that changed pretty much every item that was initially released on that DLC, so be aware that any videos or guides made around the time of release of that DLC is pretty much irrelevant now. Just try to focus on the main items of the base game first or you'll be overwhelmed

@dgmgeneral07 you can find a very active community on Reddit but you can also visit their official Discord server, which has a very good number of people still talking about the game every day. I'm pretty sure you can find people there that are willing to play with you online!

Ghost of Yotei - I'm just having a blast with this one. Way less repetitive than Tsushima, which was a very good game to begin with. This game has such a beautiful world and the combat is soooo much better than the first game

Risk of Rain 2 - I'm still trying to get most survivor skins from the new DLC while playing at Moonson difficulty, which isn't that easy

Halls of Torment and Let Them Come Onslaught: both are horde roguelite games and they're REALLY fun

Games that are on my plans:

I'm still thinking about Grounded, which i recently purchased but decided to leave it on the side so i can finish Yotei first

I want to get the Platinum trophy for RE4 Remake, RE 3 Remake, RE Village and i still want to play Chrono Cross and at least one classic Final Fantasy soon

There's so many games for me to play...

Damn it, i love videogames

Re: Ghost of Yotei Wins Big in PS Blog's Game of the Year Awards

PS Blogs having better results than Game Awards lol

Anyway, I'm playing Ghost of Yotei and yes, this game is really good and fun. I'm surprised at how it's more engaging than Tsushima, and i finished Tsushima just a couple of months ago. I thought i was gonna burnout with Yotei and yet I'm 20h in and having so much fun

The game feels more organic and less "checklist". I also thought the improvements they made in the combat are very good. Having multiple weapons instead of different stances made the game so much more dynamic. Too bad Kingdom Come didn't win anything

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Tops an Absurd 40 Million Copies Sold

This game is pure fun, even though I'm a grown ass adult i still had a good time playing, though, i gotta finish (it's in my backlog). I just hope they can improve performance and change engine in the next game. Unreal Engine is one of the worst game engines ever

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?

themaladroit

Too long. I wasn't really impressed with most stuff but Control Resonant was a cool announcement. Also, E33 sweep the whole damn thing, which made me dislike the game a bit more, but I'm still inclined to go back and try the free stuff they released today

Re: When Is The Game Awards 2025?

The local timezone that you use here is so helpful. Geoff Keighley thinks the whole damn world lives in North America and i just hate converting timezones, especially now that we don't use daylight savings anymore

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Cyberpunk 2077, 5 Years Later?

Got the game first on PC, back in April 2021, when i used to play a lot on PC. Bought the game again in 2022 for my Xbox One, back in March, i think. Got the game AGAIN last year, around March, on my PS5, with the DLC too. This was the first time i finished the game

I love the atmosphere of this game and playing it with Dualsense + 3D Audio is just an unforgettable experience. A solid 9/10 for me

Re: 'Some of the Most Cinematic Experiences I've Ever Had': Guillermo del Toro Heaps Praise on God of War

I get so frustrated with this game's combat in higher difficulty modes but i always come back to it (2018) no matter what. There's something about it that just tickles my brain in the right way: the presentation, level design, story, sound design, puzzles, exploration, graphics, menu, combat (even when I'm pissed at the game because of it)...this game is pretty much my autistic repetitive behavior firing at all cylinders

Re: 'It's a Huge Upgrade': PS5 Pro Poised to Improve Massively in 2026

themaladroit

@graymamba i know that this is a possible reality, but i still think the cost of a new console for me, even if it's more expensive than it's expected, will be the best option for me. In Brazil PCs are quite expensive and PS5 Pro here is still very expensive to the point it's not worth the cost since i already own a base PS5. I'm more than inclined to spend a bit more on a new hardware than i would in a Pro, however.

I'm also planning on getting a PS6 at the end of 2028 (i learned with past experiences not to buy new hardware right after launch), so i think by then this whole situation with RAM shortage might be resolved, but even if it isn't, I'll still get a PS6. I might only change my stance if by some miracle gaming notebooks become more affordable in Brazil and if Sony keeps putting their games on PC with no sign of stopping

All i know is that I'm for the first time really excited about Sony's next console just because i know that this time I'll be able to afford one in less than 4 years after its launch, a first in my life

Re: 'It's a Huge Upgrade': PS5 Pro Poised to Improve Massively in 2026

To this day i never really felt "damn, i should've bought a Pro because X, Y and Z games are so much better in it" and that's great for me, i don't regret skipping the PS5 Pro. I actually think PS4 Pro was a more compelling upgrade than this console and now we're approaching the end of this generation, so i think it's too late to invest in a Pro, even if i wanted to (which i don't)

I'll start saving money at the beginning of next year so i can buy a PS6 in 2028. Any games that didn't run decently on my base PS5 will run much better on PS6 than a PS5 Pro, with a better implementation of PSSR, i see this as a huge win for me.
