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.
People are idiots, you should never ever harass someone for something like this. Harass the company instead, they're the ones who decided to change the VA in the first place.
On another note, she does kinda suck on RE4, Ada sounds like one of those AI voices from text to speech applications.
The game looks and plays really well, but I'm concerned that they're basically going the Lost Ark Online way. Having bosses and events that you cannot solo is silly, it's basically forcing you to play online. If I wanted a Blizzard MMO I would play WoW.
@Ralizah You can play it as a single-player experiencing. Writing it off just because it's an MMO its locking you out of some of the best Final Fantasy stories
I like the art design and most of the combat, but I really dislike that they turned it into Lost Ark online. That coupled with the microtransactions and battlepass will make this a "wait for discount" buy for me.
@kyleforrester87 I wouldn't count on it to be honest. It has an open world like Destiny now where you see other players in the cities and maps. The lag in the major town for act 1 is absolutely bonkers.
I'm kinda on the fence here. The last expac was 40€ and this one is 20€ post price-hike? I wonder how long it is, I'm betting it's going to be really short.
"Made it possible for players to open the Travel screen from the screen that appears after clearing a battlefield (except for main battlefields cleared for the first time), and then select which battlefield they would like to go to next."
Finally!! It's annoying to teleport to the town and then choose another battlefield every single time.
The show felt rushed since eps 3, spending more than 1h on a side-story that brought nothing to the main plot was a bad choice and you felt the impact on these last 2 episodes. Also, even though everyone sings praises on Bella's acting, I thought it was quite bad for most of the show, with the exception at the end of episode 8.
The game was coming in close to Zelda, Diablo 4, Street Fighter 6 and FF16, maybe delaying it to later in the year will allow them to set a date to a less crowded period and maybe sell a few more copies than it should at this point.
@KidBoruto yup, same. I went to check HowLongToBeat after I wrote that comment and yeah most FF after 4 are in the 30 to 35h range. FF10 is around 40h. This is for story alone. So FF16 seems right on par with them.
Honestly, at this point I don't want to see any more of RE4, already saw enough and the game is really close to release. Shame they're not showing more Pragmata, think that thing will go the way of Deep Down.
That was just a drag to go through. In a show where the pacing is already all over the place, you have to spend 1h with the weakest part of the show (Bella's Ellie). They should've spent 20 mins at most with Left Behind and just go on. Also, why the heck does Riley look like she's almost 30?!
The things that leaves me more flabbergasted about this is that Sony studios seem to be following this trend as well. We already saw the leaks of the Fortnite-Horzizon game and we know that they are making 10 (10!!!!) GaaS.
I didn't expect anything, so those BG3 and RE4 trailers were nice.
I still find it funny that people get disappointed or expect megatons from these even when set your expectations beforehand.
They had already said that the game was coming out in August, but the console version is a nice surprise, at least for people that play CRPGs in consoles. This is a pc game for me.
The remake is real and is supposed to come sometime in 2024. This is because the company that makes MGS figures has them set to release at the same date (this was the same company that had the new SH figures)
@CieloAzure It seems that Maiden is considered the worst of the series (even though I liked it) and this one is the best or second best after Crimson Butterfly. I'm quite looking forward to it.
Is this the episode that the previewers were all raving about? It sucked, it deviated from the real story for quite a bit, everything was hammered in (no nuance in the storytelling at all) and it skipped some of the best action parts from the original.
I hope impossible mode is just another name to the hardest difficulty like in the first game and not the 1 save/1 death mode that you had in 2, which was simply not fun.
I'm still mildly looking forward to this game, but it has been so long since it was announced and it seems they went back on some features of the game (it is now mission based instead of open map/world, combat was changed, etc). Lets hope they show a substancial amount of gameplay and systems and give us a release date.

I mean, the DLC is a bit bad, like MCU writing levels of bad, but it is by no means a 5/10.

New game plus is nice when it comes with the game and I can play it when I finish the game the first time.

Re: Lords of the Fallen Looks Ridiculously Good on PS5
It does look good but the first Lords of the Fallen was one of the worse (if not the worst) souls-like, so I'm kinda skeptical about this one.
