@Pat_trick Uncharted 4 was fantastic. 3 was the black sheep in the series. It was awful but it's not easy following Uncharted 2 aka one of the best games ever made.
@Dragoon1994 After Phantom Pain, they should have remade MG1 and MG2 then remade MGS1 with Hayter back as Solid Snake. MGS1 could have been outsourced.
People think any action game with this camera angle and a lock on mechanism is a Soulslike. It's tiring. Demon's Souls incorporated existing mechanics and added its own ideas. Many 'Soulslike' mechanics were around long before From elevated themselves.
This looks more fast paced so it's closer to a Nioh/Team Ninja game than a Soulslike.
@Deoxyr1bose TN have never made a soulslike. The last few games have been Ninja Gaiden hybrids that become progressively easier with each game. They have some FromSoft inspirations. RotR is the closest but still more Nioh than a Soulslike. Nioh is 100% not a soulslike. If you tried to play that game like it was a Souls game you'd struggle a lot.
William is also a character creation option in this, just like Nioh 2.
Steam players and I guess PC exclusive players in general are the most entitled people. Seems like every week Steam players are making a mountain out of something while review bombing.
They even resorted to the copy paste "game is dying" comment on twitter.
Remake comes out - Finally FF7 has been remade in modern glory! Nope, we were misled. It's a sequel with KH level of story changing nonsense.
Rebirth comes out - We now know it isn't FF7 remade in modern glory. We are afraid of how much worse things can get. The dev team didn't learn their lesson from the previous game. Hype is reduced.
Part 3 will come out. Even less hype due to even more story changing nonsense. They will sell even less.
People can choose to blame what they want but sales don't lie. All the OG fans who made Square successful were expecting the promised faithful remake. New fans were confused by the new sequel story or flat out disappointed by the plot holes.
@C25CLOUD Nioh is not a souls game. It's a TN game. This is a silly mistake some people make. Its gameplay is nothing like souls games. The only similarity is the UI. Any other similar feature has existed for decades.
@Shadcai they should avoid Obsidian too. They are not good at delivering issue free games. If Obsidian developed something the scale of BG3 it would be a massive fire that would take months to fix, if at all.
Rebirth dropping down like it should. I can see the final game selling way less than it could have because of the writing changes.
I went from max excitement pre-Remake to indifferent and cautious with Rebirth to not even caring about part 3. I'll tune in for the Weapons if anything. The story is horrible.
Friendly notice that Zoo Tycoon console edition has a 69.99 season pass that nobody is bringing up because small indie company. Gotta have consistent standards.

@Kanji-Tatsumi thing is Neil has been plenty abusive to others himself. Including people who post legitimate opinions that he doesn't like.

We've had good live service games for years and I've been telling people. But they don't wanna hear it.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2024 Announced
Now that's a bad month. Dredge is the only game on that whole list that's worth caring about. GTA SA will probably leave again next month.
Re: PS5's Sublime Stellar Blade Can Now Be Yours with PS Stars Points
Always get the wallet top-up and wait for a deal. I've never bought a full price game for points.
Re: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Says No to Microtransactions, Despite Its Multiplayer Modes
I don't care if a game has microtransactions, as long as the game itself is good.

Hell yea.

@TheIronChimp Colony Wars was like my dream game back then. Was sad when the series went downhill and died.

This is one of my favourite PS1 games.
Re: Rumour: Is LEGO Horizon Aloy's Next Big PS5 Adventure?
Weird choice. Horizon isn't a big enough franchise to get a Lego game.

Everyone liked that
AC franchise got better from Black Flag onwards. Deserves more credit.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition Rains on Stellar Blade's Parade
I wish Phantom Liberty was a full game. It had a much better story than the main game, not that the main game was bad or anything.

@Flaming_Kaiser there is no racist slur in the game. Are you a troll or something?

Re: Square Enix Game Cancellations Likely as Publisher Records $140 Million Loss in 'Content Disposal'
@Matroska the only good things about Remake and Rebirth is the combat and music. The visuals too, to an extent.

Re: PS5 Sensation Stellar Blade Has One of the Highest User Ratings Ever
Remember review bombing can be 10s as well. It's more of an 8/10. I think the rating is inflated.
Re: Rise of the Ronin PS5 Sales Beating the Nioh Series
@C25CLOUD Nioh is not a souls game. It's a TN game. This is a silly mistake some people make. Its gameplay is nothing like souls games. The only similarity is the UI. Any other similar feature has existed for decades.
