Re: GreedFall 2 May Not Be the Game You Think It Is

Cherip-the-Ripper

Was watching this earlier today and honestly not a bad move, gameplay in the first sucked and was a big detractor from what was a really strong game all around imo.
I don't really like the look of it but I'm assuming they'll still fine tune it + anything is better than the first game's 'combat'

Re: Readers Vote Gears of War Above Halo as Their Most Wanted Xbox Series on PlayStation

@Tomato_Goose nah I agree. GOW is mad unadulterated fun, I'll never understand the halo hype.
Actually quite liked infinite and played its mp for a while but it's nowhere near my fav ever fps games.
Sadly the old ones are outdated.
On another note, granted Doom and Wolfenstein are already on ps as is but do that many people not want a new game in the series on ps yo 😭
Also not even a mention of Dishonored wtf

Re: Preview: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Is the First PS5 Must-Play of 2024

@MikeOrator oh yh I agree for the most part. I have had some great experiences playing turn based games. Just sick of it at the same time.
I played DQ11, thought it was great albeit a tad ugly because iirc it was a switch port. Liked it a lot and would've finished it, at a certain point however I was under levelled for some reason and fights took me ages. Just got to being a menial task at that point and lost all enjoyment whatsoever.
Same happened with Yakuza LAD, enjoyed it quite a lot until the Saejima x Majima boss fight. Still love the game but what a detractor that was.
Octopath Traveller is also a similar situation. Can't say I really remember the specifics of it though 🤔
Which is a real shame because I thought the game looked lovely.
Sea of Stars is another game I quit early last year. Liked it, was written wonderfully but it became tedious very fast. The whole interactive combat thing where you could time your attacks with the characters and even hit multiple times as well on some attacks was a wonderful addition I would like to see in more turn based games.
And yh Larian is great at it, I still haven't finished Div Original Sin 2 (16 ~ hours) but I can attest to the fact that it is simply one of the very best rpgs I have ever played.
Sadly, I can't get that enjoyment from many other rpgs, and again I haven't managed to ever pick it up again though I believe that might partly be because I picked it up on pc.
I will say though I'd like to see turn based combat branch out to other genres.
Lemnis Gate released way back in 2021, caught my eye because I don't I had seen a turn based fps in that style ever before.
It died rather quickly and I never even played it but I wouldn't mind more of that.
Anyway I remember you as a big yakuza fan, happy gaming man. I hope inf wealth hits it out of the park.

Re: The Sinking City Dev Frogwares Emerges Victorious Following Lengthy Legal Battle

@Northern_munkey one of the worst games I have ever played.
Felt very unfinished, kind of inbetween indie and AA as well.
But it does have a good lovecraftian story to it.
Sinking City felt like a waste of time to me, mainly because a friend gifted it to me else it would've been a waste of money as well.
Its performance is nothing but suboptimal as well, granted I did play this way back when on ps4, it might've gotten patched since.
I prefer the Call of Cthulhu game if you want some HP Lovecraft goodness.

@Northern_munkey
I'm currently playing through remnant 2 as well! About 17 hours in, did two heavy sessions over the last two days.
I do often hear people saying that the remnant games aren't soulslike and I can kind of see the argument. I'm personally more in disagreement with the people who say the respawn jedi games are soulslikes.
At least the first game is fairly easy (haven't played the second yet) and beyond the metroidvania level design to it it doesn't share anything else with the fromsoft titles. It's just a linear action adventure that even has fleshed out cutscenes (beyond the usual fromsoft boss fight cutscenes).
I get that the remnant games are very rng heavy, based on replayability and has a more accessible story to it but at the same time its focus on various builds reminds me a lot of the fromsoft games, that and navigating through the world finding items that are loosely related to a random npc and its crystals that serve as bonfires.
In my opinion they have a very fromsoft feel to them when I play them.
But again I can see why someone would say they aren't soulslikes.
Damnnn and you picked up wo long as well, you got a type fr.

Best soulslike I've ever played, even better than the nioh and remnant games 😮‍💨
I'd daresay even better than the majority of fromsoftware's outings. And it still has room to grow with its dlc on the way.

Re: Death Stranding Movie Partners with A24, and There's a T-Shirt

Cherip-the-Ripper

@themightyant bit of an odd comparison to make because annapurna does films as well, and A24 seems to be going into more 'higher' budget films, or at least looking that way lately.
That Civil War trailer is beautiful 😮‍💨
But I get it, it's a great fit for DS. One of the very best studios in the business partnering with Kojima.
Has that Peele x Kojima partnership vibes written all over it.
