Shock horror

Hyped from the beginning of the reveal can't wait for launch

Been a fan since the very first Divinity 20 years ago. Now they are here as a massive company.

Not in my book. 3 skips

Bottom of the barrel this month

3 games I won't be adding

I like the genre, have been playing since Demon's Souls released exclusively in Asia, though would prefer less volume but better quality Soulslikes.

Over the years I grew to enjoy the fast skill based games over Soulslikes. Your Niohs, Bayonettas, DMCs, Ninja Gaidens. Even Vanquish which is a shooter but follows a similar style.

FromSoft make fantastic games though. Not DS2, that was the b team.

Did the platinum trophy, had fun, and honestly have no desire to go back for dlc. A sequel would be cool since Eve turned out to be an interesting character. I think they should tone down on the fan service ecchi stuff and let her character shine more.

Wouldn't call this GOTY. I enjoyed RotR, SMT V, Infinite Wealth, Dragon's Dogma more. With more games to come from September on, I think this game just about cracks into the top 10 for 2024.

@Rich33 I platinumed the game and play hard action games regularly. I can say you get used to it. Would probably avoid a parry heavy style though. I think the frame rate fugs the timing. Still doable just awkward.

Time to show the English what's what

@Specky you can't keep crying about Ubisoft. You're not achieving anything other than stinking up the comments section. Take a holiday or something.

They want to return to an era most of them were not a part of. I hope they succeed but not overly optimistic.

If they are going to copy D2 then copy the gunplay. Bungie are one of the best for gunplay.

I genuinely thought this was just another f2p shooter. I wasn't going to touch it anyway. Just like Overwatch, Valorant et al

Gives me more time to save up

I thought they were done updating. This is great

@DennisReynolds your comment is gold. Ubi have been doing alternative fantastical versions of history since the very first AC, but now everyone wants to be offended because Japan.

Even Japanese companies alter history. Nioh has a bunch of alterations even with Yasuke and nobody says anything. Which is good because I love Nioh.

@BamBamBaklava89 would be weird to have a "none" option with that list of games

14% said it's a bad selection 😂 some people love to be miserable

@DennisReynolds nah they're not open world. Just big instanced areas for their time

Great list. Not one bad game in there.

@Ryne-Gaia Rebirth actually was disappointing though. The story was butchered so badly I have no hype left for the third part.

@Cloud39472 it wasn't disappointing.

Time for Dino Crisis remake

@DarianStarfrog that specky guy is always in the comments dropping dumb takes. Has a real obsession with big companies.

I won't touch a f2p game. Looter shooters can be good though. Destiny 2 rocks (though I got out years ago and won't go back).

Everyone will get their points. People are stressing for no reason.

Coincidentally my H2 mug just arrived.

They really should have brought in the new faction instead of going back around with the bugs.

I'm kinda happy for a weird reason. Been wanting to play an NHL game again but heard they're not great the last few years and didn't want to spend money. So I'll take it.

2 is one of the best games ever made. 3 was a disappointment.

My top 3 would be:
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 4
Uncharted

That one guy still crying about Ubisoft at the top of the comments needs to give it a rest.

This game looks like a Norse version of classic HoMM/Disciples.

@CrashBandicoat you're not sticking to any guns you're just impeding yourself from having fun.

@Flaming_Kaiser it was still a great game to play. Frame rate was something I could tolerate.

@Maubari huh is this a satire post or something? The PS5 is an amazing console overall. You gotta be craving attention to say this.

The first line said it best. By far my favourite type of setting. This game has been on my watchlist since it was first announced.

@Creepycelery_20 Metaphor is Persona and SMT smashed together by the same Devs. It's going to be great.

@Nem I prefer DC1. 2 was too arcadey and never stuck with me at first. Eventually I learned to like it, but the move away from survival horror was a bad one for me.

It was most wanted remake, high up in favourite series/game (2nd in one poll), Regina was in the top 10 best characters multiple times. Remake/sequels to existing IPs was the most wanted direction. The fact this beat DMC in any poll is a hell of a statement.

We are so getting a remake. Also Breath of Fire 3 feature in the top 10 a lot too. My second most wanted after Dino Crisis.

Please don't ruin 9. I don't like that they skipped 8 which ironically would work with the idiotic story butchering that they did with 7.

A lot of people got Helldivers 2 because of the Starship Troopers similarities

@WhiteRabbit I never changed Jin's loadout. Didn't need to.

Is it true that this isn't the actual Yasuke? Sounds dirty really, him being tokenised like that. At least the historical period is about right. I mean the real guy's bio is likely altered anyway. A legit truthful as possible story on him & Nobunaga would be really cool.

@Drago201 nope me too. Also that thing on her shoulder looks like a tarantula.

Eurogamer are the type to give a well received game a 1/5. They can't be trusted at all.

@Specky Souls games are very grounded..that was the draw. That's the whole reason Demon's Souls became popular. I don't think you played them, or even Nioh very much. Nioh is very skill based which is why I loved it so much. Nothing like Souls games but still great, arguably better than them.

@Perturbator Souls were a different kind of difficulty but you could for the most part beat them with leveling, gear, and your own experience. Games like Ninja Gaiden are just hardcore. A whole higher level of difficult.

Quite a big article, nice. This has been on my day 1 buy list since it was first announced.

The expansion story pretty much carries on one of many massive plot holes in the base game story.

@Specky reading your comment, I don't think there's much present to insult.
