Unpopular opinion, I guess, but I thought Infinite was far and away the best of the trilogy. Neither 1 or 2 held my interest all the way through (plus I'm not big on horror games). I'd love a new one, but the past works of the dev team aren't exactly inspiring.
I hit just a few minor bugs on my playthrough (including the obnoxious Fully Loaded trophy glitch), but it was a surprisingly overall smooth experience. Just a fantastic game in general.
There's no way this thing isn't a train wreck at this point. Which is a shame, because the original was flawed but still great and I was looking forward to a new take.
Not to be pessimistic, but this is never coming out, and if by some miracle it did, it wouldn't be worth the wait. I lied, that was totally pessimistic.
@The_Moose I assume it's still him, you just have no previous relationship with him. More like, "Hey, I remember you from C-Sec a while back before I was dead. What the heck happened to you?"
Awesome. I really enjoyed the first one, even if at times it could accurately be retitled Powerline Simulator. This sounds even better, so I'm in. My excitement level is at 5/5 Goldblums. 👍😁
I was initially looking forward to this, but the ruleset, components and the way the campaign is being run hasn't impressed me. I think I'll skip it. The upcoming Wolfenstein board game, which you can still late pledge for, looks absolutely fantastic however.
@ShogunRok I did. I purchased the PS4 version last week when the sale dropped, then downloaded the PS5 version yesterday. A quick Google search tells me that there was a trophy bug that affected the PS4 version when it first released, but it was patched. I guess it's reappeared with the upgrade.
@ShogunRok I started playing this yesterday on PS5 and popped 5-6 trophies. None of them registered. The game doesn't even show on my trophy list. Did you have any similar issues? (Other than that, fun game and worth the sale price.)
@ATaco Indeed, Black Friday is what I'm waiting for at this point. I'm hoping to clean up the stragglers I've yet to pick up from the past year or so. I doubt I'll even look at any other sales before then.
What a terrible move. Grinding was already glacial before the patch that slowed it even further. They're not even trying to hide the fact that this was their plan all along. So gross.
Coolcoolcool. I'll definitely pick it up, but I've got a few to work through, so I may just wait for the first price dip. Glad to hear it turned out well.
I just started Lost in Random, and am working on my second playthrough of FF7 Remake, PS5 version this time. On the board game side, I'm wrapping up my first campaign of Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth.
Hold up, was Outcast acclaimed? I'd been curious when it hit sub five bucks on sales in the past, but reviews seemed pretty critical. Was it just the PS4 version that was bad?
@Enuo I'm pretty certain he won't. I think only Viacom has licensing rights at this point. It may be worth looking into, though. UPDATE: Yeah, no worries, he's completely cut off from the property.
I generally have trouble completing Tales games. I usually hit the 15-20 hour mark and stop caring. I'll watch for a price drop on this one. I'm currently wrapping up Ys IX, which - like Lacrimosa of Dana before it - is fantastic.
@Nepp67 Yeah, you've hit on one of my favorite past times: lying about which Saints Row games I've played. 🙄 Most of those things you're talking about are story beats, which of course they're not talking about here. I'm talking gameplay. But you have your opinion, I have mine.
@Nepp67 I've played through the entire series. 1 is the only one that took itself even remotely seriously. This one looks like it's closer in tone to 2, which I think was absolutely the best one, so that sounds good to me. I just think it's funny how quickly some people are ready to break out the torches.
People are weird. This looks fantastic, and there was nowhere else to take the series after the kitchen sink approach to the world in IV. A reboot makes perfect sense.

It's just going to be a 40 hour add-on to the Asgard Arc. 😱
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 405
Kingdom Hearts II, while also progressing a bit more through both AC Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising.
Re: Movie Review: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City - Reshuffled Reboot Misses the Mark
@SoulsBourne128 Oh man, if only Wes Anderson made a Resident Evil movie. Starring Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton. So, so weird.
Paul W.S. Anderson is who you mean.

Re: Mobster XCOM Empire of Sin Makes It Count with Massive Content Drop
Ok, but is it still totally broken?
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
Godfall is a bore, I don't do Soulsbornes, and I already went through Supervillains with my kid. Maybe next month...

Let the game die. Kill it if you have to.

@Splat It's actually mainly meant for solo play.

Any word on if these will ever be bundled together?

I'll just stick with Chicken Police...
Re: This Is What the GTA Trilogy Looks Like on PS5, PS4
I'm pretty disappointed with the character models, but I'll still probably pick this up on sale.

Re: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Looks Like a Total Cheese Fest
I'm down, looks fun. I like Kaya Scodelario and Robbie Amell just fine, and love Tom Hopper and Hannah John-Kamen.
Itchy. Tasty.
Re: GTA Trilogy Trophy Art Leaks Online, References in Rockstar Launcher
I hope this turns out well. I'd love to give Vice City and San Andreas another go.
Re: Who You Gonna Call? IllFonic for a New Ghostbusters PS5, PS4 Game
I don't need it to be amazing. I just need it to be playable. Anything else is gravy.
Re: PS Plus Games for October 2021 Are Available Now on PS5, PS4
I've owned MKXL for years and don't care for the other two. Maybe next month. But probably not.
Re: Alan Wake Remastered (PS5) - Compelling Thriller Derailed by Tedious, Repetitive Combat
Yeesh. I may still pick it on the cheap one day, but this makes it sound like exactly the kind of game I'd find frustrating.
Re: Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One Can Turn Combat Off, But Here's What You Miss
Combat absolutely ruined The Sinking City. Can they patch that out now?
Re: PS Plus October 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Boooooooooo. I mean, if you're into it, awesome. But I think I'm done with PS Plus.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Kena: Bridge of Spirits?
Just waiting on a slight price drop as I've already got a backlog, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus October 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Have Leaked
Ugh, another month of not even adding anything to the library. I expect nothing else at this point.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5) - A Gorgeous Adventure with an Old-School Approach
Coolcoolcool. I'll definitely pick it up, but I've got a few to work through, so I may just wait for the first price dip. Glad to hear it turned out well.
Re: Swery's Bizarre New Game The Good Life Hits PS4 Next Month
I hate the look of this, but I'm intrigued by the setup and gameplay.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Grabs Physical Version in November
I'll check out reviews and still pick it up digitally. Really cautiously optimistic about this one.

Re: Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives

Re: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Confirmed for PS5
Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time. I can't wait.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Looks Surprisingly Technical in Gameplay Breakdown
@Dragonaged I'd be on that like gravy on biscuits.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Looks Surprisingly Technical in Gameplay Breakdown
Just please don't mimic the controls. They were the reason I could never get into Smash.

Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Shares How It Plays in First Gameplay Footage
Well, that's a massive letdown. I'm honestly pretty surprised it made it this far into development.

Re: Aliens: Fireteam Elite (PS5) - Competent Co-Op That Entertains But Is At Odds with Itself
Seems pretty close to the general consensus. I'll pick it up one day as a franchise fan, but it's going to need to be sub-$25.
Re: Dino Park Builder Jurassic World Evolution 2 Bites PS5, PS4 on 9th November
I loved the first game, but there's plenty of room for improvement. Larger park areas and rides please!
