Soul Reaver has the worst ending ever. Imagine beating it in the week after release and hitting that screen. Don’t get me started on 2. Makes my head hurt.
So they took the potential open world idea that’s been a staple in past titles and cast it aside in favor of older mechanics. Sounds like the game was rushed with poor game decisions. Exploration and finding silly puzzles is usually the rule, this is dissatisfying at best.
Much like ET, I was in the “capture and study” camp. Obviously it could communicate and was intelligent, why kill it? Looks like a fun old style RE game.
So they’re going to make it harder(easier) for a game that’s meant to be for kids(adults) to play their own way. Let’s not just ban anyone over a certain age or at this point, wipe the server and start over. Money talks and kids don’t make money.
What works in a movie, does not translate well to a game. Being quiet and silent with insta-fail mechanics sounds like a nightmare. Movies are entertaining enough, but the fun factor of trying to be a hero in this world seems more akin to playing frogger.
Great game, although finding things to do at endgame is problematic. A lot of activities require you to have 8 characters, which sucks when you’ve gotten used to only needing 4 for everything else. Still, it has its charms.
Played the tutorial,, game has no classes, and is very zoomed out. A lot of custom options, from your toon to the lighting. It’s basically Guild Wars 2, just with more PvE. Not really a single player game.
A movie about a certain Native American monster, yes this has been done a thousand times before. Unsure on how it will pan out, what with besides poor Hannah, every other character is unredeemable. Good luck, hope it does better than The Deep End.
So Dead space stopped saving. All terminals just say “stand by”, happened at Atrium. Every autosave is corrupted. Complete waste of time. Can’t believe this buggy POS is on plus this month. 1 star.
Pokemon has no chance of successfully suing for one reason, they are only on the Switch. Release it on PS5 and you may have an argument, but currently this is a dead end suit.
Played it for 20m, got to level 5, found a book on a shipwreck, immediately got stuck in place, unstuck did nothing. Then an announcement that the shard is shutting down. Go look for another possible shard, no dice, only 1 on US East. Got kicked.
Made a new character, went for US West, all 1 shard full. Uninstalled game. Absolute garbage.
Play it online with PS5 no issues. As I’m in endgame atm, this is a head scratcher. If you install from disc, you’ll need to have that to play the game, which is available for free.

Re: Stunning PS5 Sandbox Towers of Aghasba Out Now in Early Access
I’d need more information on the game. It seems reminiscent of NMS, with that do anything aspect.

Re: There Is a God! Legacy of Kain PS5 Pre-Orders Are Exceeding Expectations
Played the series on the Dreamcast. No need to revisit this paradoxical, “to be continued” BS.
Re: Valve Celebrates 20 Years of Half-Life 2 with New Documentary
Interesting, but haven’t ever played half-life 1 or 2. Never got released on PS or never made it to plus.

Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on PS5, PS4 Looks Mad, Dog
The ship battles when zoomed out look a bit like remote controlled toys. Tournament of captains part. So maybe it’s all a dream?

Yay, Honkai Star Rail. Fun game, tons of unlocks.

Re: Manga Masterpiece Death Note Becomes Among Us in Online PS5, PS4 Outing
I’m a bit too introverted for this type of game. My anxiety would be at peak ADHD if I attempted this. Good anime though.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2024 Announced
@springer17 Same, think I got a few of those 100 yokai parades to do. Plus they added a post game dungeon.

Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2
It could happen, just like Starfield could be ported to PS5. Pipe dream at best.

Re: Fan-Made GTA Online Hamlet Production Coming to Cinemas, Streaming Services
What’s next? A Dark Souls drama? Anime is fine, but this? Head scratcher to me at least.

Re: Try Ys X: Nordics' Fast-Paced Combat in PS5, PS4 Demo, Available Now
Poor guy. Every game he either has amnesia or lost his stuff. Possibly running out of reasons why he starts from lvl 1 consistently. Great series.
Re: TRON: Catalyst Is an Isometric Action Adventure Set within Disney's Video Game World
Great. A non descriptive tron world made even less detailed by zooming out for a Diablo clone. Always saving a buck Disney. Pass.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail Goes Harry Potter As the Trailblazer Enrols at Penacony University in PS5 Update
Need more interactive trash cans. Maybe a land of trash or some other trash joke.

Re: Report Brands Roblox 'X-Rated Paedophile Hellscape' for Children, with Inflated Player Numbers
From a pure money standpoint, kids don’t have a lot of money, whereas adults do. In a capitalist run society, easier to lie than share the truth.
Re: Genshin Impact's Big New PS5, PS4 Story Has Been Downgraded in English
Most people probably have the Japanese voices on as the fairy that accompanies you has the most annoying voice ever.

Gonna be really interesting if they kept all the crazy endings.

Japanese go figure.
Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
@JackiePriest I really doubt a first time player is going to buy a limited production run of an overpriced console.
