@LieutenantFatman Reminds me of Capcom and Resident Evil:. Don't f*ck with the core mechanics of a series if people love that about said games. Just create a new IP or spinoff or something. Just because your focus testing group of twitchy tweens love [Action Games]/[Call of Duty] doesn't mean you should change a beloved [RPG]/[Survival] series into one. **sigh**
As long as it has web slinging and isn't just another boring cookie-cutter open-world game I'm in.
All I want is:
Spider-Man 2 web slinging or better
decent voice acting (real voice actors, no famous people EXCEPT EMMA STONE)
**gasp** a good story.
(semi) open-world (so not boring unmemorable worlds like in Ubisoft games) or something more linear yet open like Uncharted/Dark Souls/DOOM
Venom. Venom. Venom.
No Doctor Octopus, no Sandman NO GREEN GOBLIN pls
only 2-4 types of collectables but make them do something worthwhile (comic pages, figurines, upgrades etc)
varied world design, not just all grey. give us a slightly more colorful visuals a la Uncharted 4.
important skills unlocked from the start (or pick a starter build like in Fallout [faster webslinging or longer shots etc etc) so you dont need to go though a 1-3hr tutorial before you can shoot and sling webs... (dont do a SkyWard Sword)
As it should be Japanese companies are finally learning to change (for the better) though, especially at Nintendo and Square-Enix: More female devs, young 'n fresh teams, more positive and inviting offices and less slave labor
There have been quite a few releases from studios with at least 30% women & racial/sexual minorities selling really well and getting critically positive reactions. Animal Crossing New Leaf, Splatoon, The Last of Us, Life is Strange etc.
There is a different mindset: people with other experiences from other walks of life contributing to games really make a difference (compared to games made solely by straight white male devs or devs treated like crunch time slaves.)
@NESguy94 Some of us skipped most of these games last gen and now have the option to play slightly better versions. I am glad companies don't listen to people like you
Awesome for the people who like these type of games but they don't appeal to me at all. I wish we got more Mario Kart-like games... With color and joy.
I dont think this game will get 8s and 9s...It might look gorgeous and has a wonderful open world, if the combat is as boring and a mess as its now, its going to hurt this game so bad.
@Kamikaze_Krunch Thats the first thing people say when its about a game they think is (or want to be) good but is universally panned You do know there are mediocre games in the world, right? A game getting a 5 or 7 (which isn't even that bad) doesn't necessarily mean there is a political agenda XD
@Cron_13 If there is one guy I trust in gaming journalism, its the Sterling.
But of course its all opinion, I just trust the guy because pretty much every game he has praised I loved and every game he hates I didn't like either. (only 2-3 exceptions) Once you find the critics with the same taste in gaming and same world view as you, you can basically focus on their reviews.
@JoeBlogs That is because most critics only play a game for 2-4hrs before reviewing. Especially those working for non-gaming websites and print media. /sigh
Is anyone still interested in this game? I have lost faith in all things Inafune and I have zero interest in a game like this right now, would've been a different situation 1 year ago.
I'm impressed they managed to make a sequel different enough yet still feel like Outlast. I am wayyyyy too scared to finish the first one but I will probably give this one a try when its on sale for a fiver
Seriously I get heart palpitations and physical pain from the stress these games give me, to a point where I'm basically advised to avoid them XD but who can resist all the excitement... Curiosity killed the cat after all.
No doubt about it. There are many 2D platforms but 3D mascot platforms have basically died, and its not because there is no demand for it.
Just like Castlevania and Bloodstained, Banjo and Yooka-Laylee and Mighty Nr 9, we still want those type of games but publishers only listen to 10yrs olds in focus groups who don't even know what they want for breakfast let alone think of anything other than COD clones and MOBAs. /rant
@Bluetrain7 XD I still have t finish 3 on the trilogy disc...does it get better after the long shooty shoot shoot bit in the giant container ship graveyard? I just want to explore more temples...
@Hego People think the combat is too hard and unfair while its one of the fairest and coolest combat systems in the industry. It's more about overcoming fear. More people are able to beat these games than they themselves think.
Bloodborne with Dark Souls 3 being a close second for now, but I'm only at the 3rd boss XD
Bloodborne was my first so it will always be my favorite... And I'm one of the few who loves Dark Souls 2...
The Souls series is actually the first non-Nintendo series I love as much as Zelda, and that is not a small feat. I want more more more! Give me a Demon's Souls remake! a Dark Souls remake with the DS3/BB engine...a Bloodborne 2! I need my yearly Souls!
Destiny and Bungie can shove it. I hope they take a long look at themselves before they even attempt to make another one of these awful boring time wasters.
I will only buy it if it has a 10hr+ single player campaign.
Call me old-fashioned but I have no desire to play non co-op multiplayer games...I prefer fighting AI than battle annoying humans. I've tried and tried but I just can't get myself to enjoy playing against others. I am not competitive at all.
I think this will be the first game I pre-order digitally. I know I will love it and I want that extra weapon. I normally don't support practices like that but since its a cheaper game and its the only way to get the extra weapon...Ugh

Re: Review: DOOM (PS4)
@PlaytendoGuy Yeah, the embargo almost stopped me from buying the game...and it wasn't even needed at all XD
This is the first game in years I have bought before the reviews were out so I'm glad my gut feeling was right.
Re: Review: DOOM (PS4)
