@Sacrosanctus This is a return to a PS3 style of single-player goodness and multiplayer too baby!

Yes please! People against this are crazy. The fact that I have to on Steam, a competing platform to find out if a game is real or shovelware is insane. This needs to be implemented 10 years ago, later this year is the next best option.
I want to see if a game is good by looking here reviews. This will be a huge boon for indies.

@Frmknst Resi 8, Resi 4, GT7, Synapse?

That thumbnail reminds of the pig that ate the girl in Bloodborne. That was sad.

@Deityjester As someone who's been playing since launch day - what are you talking about? The game has more than enough content for its $40. Chiv 2 is a great game and I'm not disappointed at all with it. It was worth it on launch day and they've done great support for it. Game's don't need to be supported for a decade after release, I'm happy to play what we have and to wait for Chiv 3 now.

Does this make any meaningful gameplay or control changes that would justify buying this over already having the PS Classic PS2 version?

@jrt87 I’d easily say RE8 felt like that. It’s one of the most incredible gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

Reminder: We have no idea that this is a fire sale.

@Moonmonkey We don’t know, it could be that, it could be get rid of some overstock, it could be a test to see how price affects it and if people do want it after a dramatic cut (if it doesn’t sell at this price, it’s dead, if it does, it’s means there’s real interest still and they can leverage it), or could be a combination of the layer two.
There’s a lot of great games for it and some great games in the pipeline. If you think you’d enjoy I’d grab one for this price.

@kendomustdie Is there a graphics mode where this is more frame rate loss? I'm disappointed that this doesn't push it enough that the frame has issues and wonder if I can the setting to make the framerate chug a little.
EDF and bad framerate go together so well.

@ApostateMage I think having a voice for a few things, but not for voice lines is a good in-between. BG3 did that very well.

Return to its roots by not including the blood mage (or something similar) class because it’s too evil…. Right because BioWare games don’t let you make choices including evil ones at their roots…

@Athrum You can pause game with turn based mode to achieve the same basic thing at least. But I do agree.

Sounds like a ton of fun, but I feel like we’re gonna get another GTP gotcha which will ruin a lot of it.

I’m looking forward to the new evil endings, a year later my first playthrough might get an actual ending to it.

I've had fun playing this flat on PC and have heard good things about the VR from a friend on PC, I'll easily get this unless I hear the port is just terrible.

This game was great in the PS2. I’m glad to see it get a remaster. I’m interested in this one.

@nomither6 I want another War for Cybertron type game or at least a remaster. It’s a shame that’s stuck on the PS3.
That series just needs some better melee and we’ll be set.

It was hard to figure out what to after Resi 7 or 8:Villagev

It sounds like I should my PS3 HD copy instead, that would be simpler and easier.

Remake or remaster?
This is an expensive remake or remaster, it costs more than the original did at launch. I played a little back in the day.

Persona has great romance and I don’t see why it would be an issue here, rulers often also like to use their power lol.

@Porco Well, if it worked with discs that would be the really amazing thing.

That looks pretty cool, if they do the town aspect well enough I might grab it.

I’m shocked 30 million people even know Netflix has games.

@AdamNovice At least do this I’ll consider getting this one again, because Astrobot is a VR franchise first and foremost to me.
I’m not happy with the lack of PSVR2 stuff since it’s such a great headset.

I hope this goes on long enough for me to sign on and fight for the children.

It won’t be very good, this isn’t surprising at all. It looked this way from the start.
But don’t trash Golden Abyss like that, that was a good game.

If it's like the one in the PS3 HD collection, it'll be super easy to get too. I wish we could just get the HD collection or an upgraded version of that to be honest.

Astrobot will day one if it gets PSVR2 support, but flat I I’m not super interested. Astrobot won me over in VR, and will keep me in VR.

@Ralizah The collectibles are awful, but getting points for your purchases which turn into money is actually pretty nice.

I have $20 unredeemed on that, they better put it back or at least let us redeem our points.

I mean, if they want to redo the game to make you actually feel like a student, sure, otherwise just do a sequel that does it all better and focuses on the student aspect.

@AK4tywill Kojima’s last game had a director’s cut, I’m not sure if he abandoned it.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is failed vaporware at this point. It’s never coming.

This sounds so cool. Samurai Warriors 5 made me so uninterested because it redid the art style so it would work on the Switch. This is the way, get Warriors off the Switch Warriors is such an easy power push for new hardware.

@get2sammyB The Alien Incursion headline is in there twice.

PSVR2 mode or bust.

Always being more visual novels to consoles, especially the ones that just aren’t localized.

I saw, that’s pretty cool. I need to watch season 2 of the anime, as season was pretty good. It also any as fanservice heavy as the it sounds like here.

It’s just a promotion. If you have that many points, you can already just buy it through getting money for your points. So in practice, this offers nothing. I’m surprised they don’t even do $5 off with this.

There’s no way this works, best part of the show leaves because he believes they’re ruining it and the writers dislike the original material. He shouldn't have taken the gig, it’s a sinking ship.

To be honest, there's a decent chance the next game is more scrutinized. they got away with not even attempting to make the third act look finished in BG3, I'm not sure if hiding behind an excellent act 1 will work again. If they keep up the habit of horrible third acts, one day people might start caring.

@Cloud39472 I appreciate the apology man. A lot of people would just double down, so thanks!

@Cloud39472 You see, now you're just arguing in bad faith with the racism by making assumptions. I don't know how to interpret this other than assuming that anyone who disagrees with you here is racist, which is very wrong and I really hope I'm wrong about that interpretation.

AC has lore that is special, yes, but it's treated as extraordinary and the people in history act like it's out of place and doesn't belong. It takes a lot of care with the history outside of that.

Leonardo made helicopter designs and all sorts of thing they didn't have the tech to build, so that's fine and a neat nod to the real man.

But Ragnorok, oh boy, Valhalla's story is a mess and the total fantasy it turns into is awful. It has assassin stuff shoved in and from what I've read all around is careless with the history is a rather offensive manner for the series. Odin? Really, Odin? This isn't some AC conspiracy lore, this is... I don't even know what they're trying to do.
Valhalla should not have been an AC game and is a terrible use of the name.

I also disliked and felt the liberties that Syndicate took, the grappling hook wasn't even attempted to have justification, and the train wasn't there with a lame "stomach ache" excuse, and I could feel the lack of care and love for the history compared to Unity.

Plenty has ruined the AC games lately. You see, you just made a weird assumption that none of that bothered me, because for some reason people like assuming racism without any good reason. I've been moaning about the state of AC for years, I just didn't include years worth of moaning for this particular discussion. I could keep going with my moaning about other AC games if you'd like, I have enough material to write a book.

@PuppetMaster You see, not 100% accurate is not a justification to abandoning history entirely and I think that claim is just dumb.
However, at least your consistent with a the bizarre idea of a Japanese protagonist of a game that should be about social stealth in Africa. I think that’s horrible and would push back.

@themightyant Counter point, don't use a real person as a protagonist. Take inspiration from the many others that could have been for a much more rounded and in-setting idea.

@Cloud39472 Yasuke was a one off oddity that stands out. He's not a natural selection for a Japanese AC at all or the way they interact with so much of history. The fact that a one-off oddity that is being based on one real person (no one person was used for a character before) to justify shows this.
You should be pulling from a group of many examples in history to make an AC protagonist.
It's a square in a round hole even if the square existed one time.

@themightyant This goes beyond creative liberties at a point. Part AC history is to use real people as NPCs that fits in the history, hence why the MC(s) should be a fictional Japanese character. Yasuke should be in the game as an NPC that's an ode to his real role in history.
AC has been playing too loose with history for a while now. Some fiction doesn't justify just ignoring history and I don't except much love or accuracy for history from the game in general.

I do find the racism claims amusing. If they included a lone Irish guy for an African AC, I wonder how many of the same people would call the pushback against that racist?
