Played quite a few matches as Hulk as he's the most fun to use of the few characters I tried out. Unfortunately in some of the matches you will get a team that for some reason have decided to be all DPS so as the only tank you will get hunted. Especially frustrating if said trash team decide to blame you after a loss. The game will benefit from a forced roles mode.
Tried this out this morning. Feels a bit too "spongy" and the character balancing is atrociously wrong if you know their strengths from the comics. This is overwatch or something in marvel skins.
With Honkai/Wave and now this all having practically the same male mc model it's getting hard not to feel like we're somehow getting trolled. Or are they somehow the agreed upon design for these types of games?
It might be a generation thing. Maybe they should expand the research to see which age groups tend to prefer watching rather than playing. I like game trailers and the odd review but can barely stand streamers. Irks me on a fundamental level.
@ztpayne7 You're right in thinking that it would probably never happen (too many hands wanting their own slice of the pie). They haven't done any Marvel x DC since the early 90's. Would have been nice to leave it up to fans and gamers to finally decide who was stronger Superman or Hulk.
@ztpayne7 I hope they do, and not just obscure ones for the sake of it. Would also be cool if they did a DC crossover event at some point like some moba's have done in the past but I doubt it.
@Flaming_Kaiser I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned that games copy off other games and anyone who's old enough on here to have played Turok or Turok 2 could make the comparison that Horizon is a PG Third person version of that. "Natives" fighting futuristic dinosaurs - check
Sci-fi versions of old weapons - check
Enemies with specific weak-points to specific weapons - check.
They made it 3rd person and added a female lead with neon "shoot here please" signs. Hardly original or unique enough to claim someone else is copying their IP. They could have called it Turok Horizons and no one would bat an eyelid.
If Sony considered it a rip off worthy of legal action or one that will affect their partnership with Guerrilla we would be seeing something to that effect not the game coming to their console. Can people stop with the horizon cultism please.
This studio has enough technical know how to make the next Metal Gear. They've done enough abandoned ruins and unwashed hillbillies. Gimmie some sci-fi next.
As I've been playing this on PC, I hope they do further reruns in 2.0 as the 5* characters unique weapons have a massive impact on how well they perform. I chose this over ZZZ and Genshin also. Can't wait to see the new area.
@Mintie I'm on louisoix and usually on around 7pm UK time also. I'm a dps summoner and there was literally no one else on. I felt I missed the ff14 train. Dunno if you can find players by name but I'm Zodiarc Dragonsbane.
I'm enjoying it more since I stuck to the main scenarios. I think I'm at a mandatory join with other players section though. The Moogle king bit and even after 20 mins of it waiting to find other players nothing. I did fine with dungeon NPC's so why isn't that an option anymore?
@LowDefAl Thanks dude. That's got me motivated to continue. I haven't played it in a few days but the last quest I did was the "Summon Titan" job quest as I'm a summoner. Also loot for this class sucks at the mo.
@LowDefAl Thanks for that. I wasn't sure if I should continue but if I am in fact still at the tutorial phase till Lv 50(story missions right?) just to get new players up to speed with the ARR segments and can expect a significant improvement there after then I will slog it through. Now while I'm doing this if they can announce a FF8 remake...
I'm not sure what the hype is for ff14. I've been playing it a week or so (30 day trial). I'm on lv 40 and it's been endless fetch quests with a bit of story in between and that's if you focus on the main story which you're forced to do or the side quests and job quests remain locked till you progress. If anyone else is playing it, at what point does it get better?
Didn't some politician in China get arrested recently and they found $200 million cash all around his house. Some was hidden in the walls. They're going hard on corruption over there but only on the collaborative with foreign powers kind. The domestic versions are still given free reign.
The characters aren't beloved enough to be in a smash type game. Bugs and co have been almost obsolete for decades now. Who was their demographic? They're better off using Netherealm to make their horror universe and launch each new character with their origin story and theme for each season. I'd pay more interest in that than whatever this was trying to be.
All the best to him. I hope he can bring Perfect Dark back to it's original glory and then some. I was unimpressed by the trailer shown earlier this year. Marcus has already worked on Spiderman so I'm expecting better things for Wolverine which I was currently on the fence for in terms of interest.
Horizon is an okay game I've played it a couple of times always got about half way through and got bored. It's great that there are players who think it's fantastic but that goes to show you that everyone has preferences. I've seen a few comments on here talking about how much money it made meaning it's an awesome game but as I've mentioned I bought it too and never cared to complete it and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.
Killzone 2 and 3 were my go to FPS games back in the day and that's when I had all 3 consoles so I had Cod and Halo too but preferred the Killzone franchise out of the 3. If a decent remake is released I'd probably choose that instead also. I'd say the least Sony should do is see if there's a worthwhile proposal and GDD presented cause at the end of the day their IP's represent their brand even if they never see the light of day again. Alternatively they could do what Epic did with Paragon but lock them into releasing it on their platform and see what comes of it.
@get2sammyb It's been a while since I saw the anime but didn't Goku lose that fight? Is this supposed to be a "survive for x amount of time" mission or is it just busted?
@LifeGirl My friends and I were fully tuned in and awaited the arrival of that future. Now we have terminators to look forward to at the start of next year.
I saw the list of animals the characters turn into. Why are they all mostly from earth just at larger sizes? MK usually has cool and unique creature designs in the stage backgrounds so why didn't they tap into those for the non earth characters animalities? I turned a blind eye to this back in the day but now there's just no excuse for creative laziness.
Unless it's older than a minimum of 2 decades no more remasters please. In fact they should be remakes instead. The "If we sell it they will buy it" mentality that has fueled this nonsense is entirely gamers fault. Vote with your wallets.
VIII was and will always be the best FF imo. Juctioning was amazing. seed exams while I was having exams in school was a kick in the teeth but fit the narrative. It was the only FF where the player truly lived the characters lives before the madness began. Every other game plops you in the middle of battle after the game begins and you learn their back story along the way.
Looks like "Gonna Take you for a ride" is going to be the internal BGM of my life once again. When is the 2nd collection coming out? Wang Tang main once again and if they get the online aspect right this time it's going to be a major deal.
Yea Blade wasn't my main long enough lol. They did Dhil dirty too after all the hype now I barely use him. Only on special occasions with Sparkle. Yea both Kafka and Swan would be nice but there can be only one. Since Swan builds stacks as quickly as Jiaoqiu she might be better with Acheron who's also my main damage dealer.
Lingsha might be a good replacement for Gal. I'm not liking the Break fad. A decent company would rework existing characters but I guess its all about the zeni.
@Shigurui Thanks for the codes dude. Yea saw the launch window and was not pleased. This is defo a "squeeze players move" How is Kafka getting a 2nd rerun before other characters 1st? They must have looked at player stats and realised most players don't have decent DoT teams. As DoT main who would you suggest, Kafka or Swan?
Hmm... I need to see the contents of the allegations before I condemn the man. Most game devs (that I know of) are pretty nerdy with limited exposure to the opposite gender. The ruling narrative in our society for men (which is pretty unfortunate) is "be successful and women will like you". I've known enough genuine guys who have approached girls and been treated like they were about to murder them.
Looking forward to the new boss. Shame no new story content till end of year. Just got Ultimate Gley (can't say no to infinite rocket launcher)will be leveling her up for a while so I can take my time grinding for these 2.
It's a really good game and I enjoy it quite a bit. Yes it's flashy as hell but once you know your combos (not very complicated) and you've fought certain enemies a few times you know the animations of what their attack is so you can either dodge or counter. I got ChangLi who's probably got the flashiest move sets and after some practice I know exactly what's going on. I will say though that in their version of "Simulated Universe" you get additional skills and sometimes the entire screen is filled with SFX and then the enemies corpses.
