I like Souls games but I don't think anyone should be learning lessons about narrative from them.

This could be avoided by balancing your game, you know, actually finishing it, before release.

The paywall is for the whales, it will be made available later I bet. Trophies are mostly dumb anyway.

I can't keep up with the flood of games, so I'm always playing through something already when a game I'm interested in releases. Even a game I am massively excited for like GTA VI (trying to keep those expectations tempered however), I will probably buy a few months after release.

I can't even remember if I've played 4 or 5, definitely checked out 6. Which one was the one that was intended for ps3 but also retooled for ps2? I remember there being long sections with nothing in it because the ps2 couldn't handle the content and I said it would be the last time I bought a nextgen game retooled for previousGen.

edit: Ah, no, the one I'm thinking of is the PS2 version of Underworld.

just sad, really really sad

Considering Atlus's poor track record in portraying gay people (and how they treat women too), I'm curious if this game follows in the same tradition. Are there any gay characters? Are they portrayed as creepy predators again? Or did they simply erase them from the world? I'm only gonna buy this game if they have corrected that.

You reap what you sow.

My favorite survival horror game.

For me the originals' effectiveness relied almost entirely on the sound design. That's what made Silent Hill games scary. Doesn't get too much attention in this review, which is disappointing.

i wish more (maybe all) games would do like Fallout 4 and have a selection of approved mods for the game.

I don't think live service games will create a life-long love of games like good single players with good stories and characters. Fortnite players will grow up and be bored of the formula and move on.

They're going to have to move on from the standard map game design. I hope they don't just make a cookie cutter "more of the same" game with this. GoT was fun but for me still suffered from the map icon fatigue I get with Ubisoft games.

c'mon sickos, do not disappoint me!

Finally! Something that will give PornHub a run for its money!

But are the character models something you could find on PornHub? The important questions aren't being answered here!

Man I read this whole blathering thing for the line about characters that could be found on PornHub and it must have been edited out! Disappointed!

GTA is one of the few games I would consider buying day one, or at least within a month of release (unless a majority of reviews said it was really bad). But a higher price will mean I just wait for patches and a sale. Even something that's my FAVORITE gets a "wait for patches" at the very least.

I'm here for when the conversation turns from 'authenticity' to 'stereotyping'.

wow, this game's bring out the chud-energy. whew!

@itsfoz All the skills are terrible at the beginning of the game, by design. It's a slog but once you level them up a bit, it isn't that hard, though I kept using the "simplified" console lockpicking. That was my main criticism of the game actually. No matter how good your inputs were on the controller, you were just going to suck at combat and other skills for a good long time.

I always wanted the decision tree from Origins to be retooled so that it worked. That was my favorite concept for party members but it was just abandoned.

Nothing has ever scared me as much as the original Silent Hill series' sound design and music.

I really hope they took a different approach to combat, and skill leveling too. Such a good immersive RPG otherwise.

Once all the major patches are released I will be checking out this game. Boo on yellow paint! Nice to have the option to turn it off or back on again.

Not bad! Are Lego games as buggy and unstable as they used to be? I swore them off for that alone...

Respawning enemies can get tiresome as a feature, but otherwise I love a good dungeon crawl, don't think I'll ever tire of it. Bring on the monsters!

Have fun playing dress up with your dolly, fellas!

Bad move, they should have just told the racists in Japan to get stuffed.

I am patiently counting the days until my PS5 Pro. Gotta get through this back catalog !

@Mikey856 Or, there are the ones who wait outside in fear while children are mercilessly slaughtered inside. I can't wait for the mission in this game when you plant evidence on someone!

Multiplayer shooters are just over-saturated as a genre. How many more do we need?

This is just sad.

If a game can be described as having a "gameplay loop", you've already lost me. I'm curious as to what is so "satisfying" about the GaaS games with a good "loop"? All these types of games are grindy and repetitive, nothing I want in a video game.

I just can't be bothered to sort through 2000 titles when most of them are "Lady in a Leotard with a Gun" quality.

A surprise at how spread out interest was/is.

2nd month in a row I will not be claiming any games... sigh

I know better than to get my hopes up, but I loved the old Crazy Taxi. Somehow I suspect modern gaming design choices will creep in and it will be a very different game...

It shouldn't be a conversation about difficulty, it should be about accessibility. Routinely excluding gamers with disabilities by not putting in any options, when it's entirely possible to do so, as a design philosophy, just makes you an *****. Like an architect that scoffs at wheelchair ramps in the building designs because it's not part of their precious artistic vision.

Right up my alley but... graphics and animations look a bit rough

@Specky I felt Dying Light was floaty too, especially during parkour moments. I haven't played the 2nd one yet so maybe it improved.

Looks fun! But still, there's something about 1st person camera that makes it seem.... floaty?... to me. Like not quite grounded in the world you're traveling through.

Not my cuppa but not gonna complain
