Only small teams are able to be hurt by this kind of allegation. Giants like EA flaunt it as part of the "new normal" but cant be touched. A company like Sandfall that is so inventive and brings us this great masterpiece gets tarnished. Sad.
lmao. I dont care about Helldivers but this is like when Ronny Yu directed Freddy Vs Jason and we ended up with Robert England doing wrestling moves. What crap.
I haven't played the Division but from what I've heard comparatively, this one is purposely meant to be much slower-paced. More stealthy scavenging and less out-right frantic fighting.
Maybe this game is a "square peg, round hole" kind of thing for you.
To me this gives me a lot of older MMO exploration and pacing feels. Like Everquest as compared to WoW.
If this one isn't it - I hope you find something that fits for you.
Are you content with a crafting game loop? Finding ingredients, upgrading your personal crafting tables and upgrading your character. Ultimately you have to be happy searching for materials and making your character stronger. Along the way hopefully learning strategies to live longer when out on recon missions.
That said, I am usually content with a game loop for about 3-4 weeks. Beyond that who knows. I'll probably move onto something else looong before any advertised game life.
Put simply if you want to play it you'll find a reason. If not, play something else.
I picked this one up. Immediately enjoyed it while playing the server-slam weekend. Love the loop of scavenging for items and crafting. The danger of losing items made each run feellike an old-school EQ dungeon run.
@AhmadSumadi Mostly I was being cynical but yah, it's an uphill battle. It's not impossible but there is a reason he's beloved and synonymous with the character. Put that against how there have been 10+ Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. I mean, it speaks for itself.
Sometimes a performance just knocks it out of the park such as Mark Hamill's Joker or the late Kevin Conroy's Batman. Amazing performances that redefined the characters. There is a chance for this to happen with Wolverine but it will be tough to upstage Hugh Jackman.
Happy to see those "modern day" parts removed. They always feel jarring and pull me out of the game. I get it, the "animus" blah blah but yah I don't like it. I don't want to sit at a cubicle - I just want to be a pirate.
Love searching for gear upgrades and exploring so RPG elements, stats on gear, sounds great too. I'm in.
@Anti-Matter DQ3 HD-2D remake (out now) is a good place to start. Then DQ1-2 HD-2D out in late October. All incredible games if you like the feel of a grand adventure and controlling a full party (Though DQ1 is a single character game).

That depends on the player I think.

$9.99 on steam right now with all DLC...OR probably $49 for the re-release.

Re: Peter Molyneux Very Nearly Became a First-Party PlayStation Dev
I like Fable but this guy strikes me as a very difficult person to work with.

LOBROCOP (from twitch.tv/lobrocop) did an amazing job as Lodi in The Final Shape. Hopefully the games subscriptions pick up.

Needs some white to offset the blue.

There will only ever be 1 Wolverine.
Re: Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian (PS5) - A Vibrant RPG That Transforms Grind into Gold
Looking forward to some turn-based battles. Yumia, imo, was a few steps in the wrong direction.
Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever
Too many games coming out right now but this one is definitely on my radar.
The Beast
Atelier Resleriana
Yotei

Silent Hill f
It's a packed quarter.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4 Remake Makes Big Changes, Drops Modern Day Story and Adds RPG Elements
Happy to see those "modern day" parts removed. They always feel jarring and pull me out of the game. I get it, the "animus" blah blah but yah I don't like it. I don't want to sit at a cubicle - I just want to be a pirate.
Love searching for gear upgrades and exploring so RPG elements, stats on gear, sounds great too. I'm in.
Re: Nerfed PS5 Console Silently Releases with Less Storage Space
Just buy a 2TB M.2. Never worry about hard drive space again (this gen).

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy's Conclusion Will Not Be PS5 Exclusive
This is a good thing. Exclusives are not good for anyone.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Returns in Reimagined Form, Out for PS5 in February 2026
Looking forward to replaying this one. That said, I'm glad it's "streamlined". A 100+ hour game just isn't in the cards for me anymore.
Re: Dead Island 3 Teased as Dead Island 2 Passes 20 Million Players
Make some likable characters this time around.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?
@KundaliniRising333 It has a few frustrating balance issues but I love the setting, combat, and crafting. It's a great game overall.
If you love the medieval era and enjoy games like Dark Souls, Salt and Sanctuary I recommend it.
Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Consoles, Accessories Available to Pre-Order Right Now
Yoteeiiiiiiiiiii
We have waited for you for so long...
Soon...
