That's because the campaign is absolutely awful and everyone is pushing through it to be able to actually play the game they bought. Unfortunately it isn't optional. Nata may well be the most universally despised character of 2025.

My main concern was the potential jank since this is a AA game.

Wasn't going to touch it but certain positive reviews and the fact it is some way related to the Odyssey team (whoever is left) changed my mind. AC2 fans be damned, Odyssey is the peak of the franchise. Been playing since the first one on PS3 and I don't get how people keep overrating 2.

@JuiceboxMeister It has long been accepted that it's a sequel. The title is a play on the story where Sephi is trying to remake the timeline where he succeeds. Japanese people love to do this with media. Nothing in that game is a remake in the meta sense.

Videogame remakes are not reimaginings they're just updates with new content. RE series, Silent Hill 2 are perfect examples.

As a proud genwunner i want all the Greymon variations

All I got out of that was light spoilers

@JuiceboxMeister FF7 is a sequel not a remake

@xDD90x a lot of the gameplay is based on transitions though. They could still keep the transitions and make it seamless like instancing which would be the best solution.

Ufc will be mindless fun. Wonder if the parking game is funny

Aloy is a funny choice considering she never shuts up anyway

I still have my iodine tablets from the time they gave every house in ireland a packet due to the concerns over Sellafield.

Been waiting a while to see what Amy can do with a new studio.

He Stroke the Dik-Dik thumbnail interested me enough to see this article

@LifeGirl i had no idea Bam was a skater. He's famous for Jackass. Maybe he did some skateboard stunts but I can't remember.

Adding the timer to 4 is a horrible idea. Time limits just suck in general.

The trilogy is all I want and I'll be playing day one when it inevitably arrives.

I don't really care that it was down for a day and I don't care that we got 5 extra days. It's a non issue that was blown out of proportion. Nothing like what happened back in the PS3 days.

Suikodeeeeen

Veilguard being ps+ is still hilarious.

@Kenobi42 selling less at a higher price is often more profitable. Why do you think so many products and services are so high?

I love Robocop but I expect it to be a ps+ game eventually so I'm waiting

This game would die if it's too easy. The casual crowd would move on to something else as usual and the real MH fans who stick around will quit because there's no challenge.

@Frmknst Kojima isn't overrated. People like to say he is just to stand out.

Veilguard isn't even the best game in the selection. TMNT is better.

MH has to be a challenge. The challenge of the hunt is the fun. Either solo or in a group. If it's easy it's pointless. Like receiving a participation trophy.

Souls games are absolutely not masochism. Anyone who says that did not play games from the 90s and back.

@Coffeeglitch Monster Hunter Wilds is a live service game. Dont be reductive. This died because it wasn't run well. Games dont die because they're LS. People on this site have a serious hate obsession with live service not even realising some games they enjoy are exactly that

NetEase sounds like a company that makes cheap obscure routers. And theyre acting like Embracer or EA at its peak.

For a sandbox game it is remarkably stable.

So far all I had was:
Flickering issue especially at the very beginning on the shields.
Sometimes you can get stuck on the terrain.
One time I had the 'get out' hare icon stuck on screen and had to hard restart the game.
A certain NPC stuck standing at a campfire. He is permanently stuck but it happened after the quest and after I learned all the skills (I think).

"PC users furious" when are they not

@Romans12 Combat is a cakewalk compared to the first game. Never found it frustrating in this one. If i had to argue it's that they made it too easy trying to fix the system.

@nomither6 cross-progression isn't as popular as it should be especially with handheld PCs everywhere now. Looking at you Monster Hunter.

@DennisReynolds William was a real person who became a samurai by status. Nioh is a fantasy game with little to no historical accuracy. Just famous characters in passing conflict. It also has a central story involving London. Yasuke was a retainer at best and certainly not a samurai.

If you wanted to make a comparison you should have said Yasuke from Nioh because they are a lot more similar in design. Again Nioh is pure dark fantasy where AC tries to keep some historical accuracy. I'm not subscribing to the 'anyone who criticises is a racist' rhetoric. It stinks of head in the sand mentality.

@lazarus11 Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. Take your pick.

The thing is...pc players are used to modding everything. I haven't played a PC game with an interactive UI that wasn't modded. They're so reliant on mods they can't seem to play a game without.

They picked a good release date because there's not much going on in april

I have 6 on PC, PS5, and even Netflix if desired and cross progression via cloud saves. No reason to buy this any time soon. I just wish they would do another Alpha Centauri. Always preferred the sci-fi colony theme.

I hope it gets a sequel. Zero interest in replaying it though.

MGS Snake Eater, the remake of the best game of all time, not being higher is sad. Maybe it will pick up closer to august.

Been playing since the PSP days and World was the game I had been waiting for. It was such a great addition to the series and I could finally stop playing claw style.

@Nem Like many others I had no issue playing World solo. It was easier and more accessible than the old games for sure. Also Souls isn't masochistic. Ninja Gaiden is. Devil May Cry on DMD is. NUR+ runs of GoW games kinda is. Souls is just a learning curve that can also be circumvented by stats and gear.

Getting rich while staying private that's the dream.

@Gamer83 Arkham Knight was great.

The dev team from that era is gone so they need to nail the recruitment if they are going back to that well yet again.

Last night i was booted off KCD 2 because it couldn't verify the licence. Couldn't even play a single player game. When the service came back first thing i did was enable offline play.

@IntrepidWombat I thought a Dead Space remake wasn't needed until I played it. It was the perfect remake. No reason to ever play the original.

MGS 3 is my favourite game so I'll definitely be pre-ordering it.

The game has some visual jank right from the start but the story is so much better overall. The combat hasnt changed much (my main gripe from 1) but at least it's easier to pull the soft lock away from a target. And enemies so far don't have some silly 90% rng chance to auto perfect block and riposte.

I can already imagine Henry's typical reaction to these crapwaffel deathtraps

@Knave21 hard to explain but you just do. Had no problem playing it on the PS2 with a controller.

Bought and downloaded but not started. Busy with Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries. I hope Deliverance 2 has sorted the combat so it's actually fun now.

@James_42 some solid indie and smaller sized publisher games are shoved down the list with/beyond the shovelware.

The P in PC stands for Pirate 😉

Could never finish this game. It was just so boring. Nowhere near as good as Far Cry 5.

@FuzzieGinge88 don't be so naive. Developers and their publishers will demand better consoles. They aren't mere passengers you know? They're a business and need progress to stay alive. Sony can't be lazy, to think it is even a possibility is silly.

Day one buy. This is EXACTLY what I wanted when the rumours of Xbox crossovers started.
