It's funny how they changed the game to make you stay in it as long as possible (player engagement is wonderful for stakeholder calls, and the more time you spend in game higher the chance of you spending money at the store). Even the damn teleport was raised from 3 seconds to 5
Really looking forward to this game, and the scene is funny, it was played like a joke (you even see a squirrel drop his nuts) but people are taking it out of proportion.
Don't get me wrong, I really liked the first Trails of Cold Steel, and I'm halfway through the second one, but how is it possible that these games still look like late PS2 early PS3 games? Geez
@Ravix Still a bit isometric but highly detailed and you can zoom on the characters. Also all interactions are animated, its not just walls of text anymore. Check a couple of trailers, you may like it.
@Ravix The first 2 BG games use what was called the Infinity engine, the games were isometric CPRGS that played in real time though you could pause them to give commands to your party. This one is turn based, it's basically more Divinity Original Sin 3 than Baldur's Gate 3. The story will be largely unrelated to the first 2 games (since that story was over and this one is set more than 100 years after the second game). You may see some know faces (2 of your old party members will be in the game due to magic or being long lived races) and familiar places but that's about it. The old games may be hard to play now mainly due to how they look, but I absolutely love them. If you're curious, try to play Divinity Original Sin 2 and you'll get the gist of how this game will play.
@Nepp67 I know that the game was first made with English in mind. The script was supposedly written in English first. But yeah as you said, it is quite odd, specially after them boasting in how they used AI to generate the English lip sync for FF7R.
I really like the game, but there are some things that made me disappointed. The frame rate dips a looot when you're in a open field. Motion blur is dialed to 11, and there's no option to lower it or remove it. Japanese lip sync is horrible to a point where it looks like you're watching one of those old Mexican soap operas dubbed. I know the game was made for English audio, but they should've synched it for Japanese (like other jrpgs do, including all other FF's since 12)
I don't understand why people that like digital media want to advocate for a digital only future. Dude, you be you, let me be me. If I want to buy a physical game what's the harm in having both choices?!
@KidRyan The person that leaked these to me told me there were 2 volumes with the 6 main games. He did get something wrong through, he told me volume 1 would be the Solid Snake games and volume 2 would be the Big Boss games.
They're going to announce a 2 part MGS collection, mark my words. One of the volumes will have the 3 Solid Snake games and the other will have the 3 Big Boss games.
I don't believe ReLink will be out this year. We're basically in May and there's no release date, also the game was also "still settled for release" in 2020, 2021 and 2022 xD
It's a 7. The villain is basically non-existant although I did like the last boss fight, the new character is a bit annoying, written like an MCU character and the attempted romance came out of nowhere. Also only 1 new machine.
I've tried the game and the combat and art are absolutely fantastic but it is marred by the gacha characters and same leveling system as Genshin Impact
Playstation always had a very strong presence here. Nintendo as well but I do believe most people see it more as a family-friendly or even kid-directed brand.
Aloy was never flirty in the other games, and they went with one of the most bland characters in the game. Feels kinda rushed to get those browny points. Would've been way better to have her with other characters that she had way more interaction with (looking at you Talanah)
Her voice acting is bad, and she should feel bad about this statement trying to blame constructive criticism on racism.
On the other hand, the people who harassed her are garbage, you should never ever harass someone. Harass Capcom instead since they're the ones who change the VA.
