I hear this has the ME3 priming-detonating mechanic so it's disappointing to know there are no hybrid classes. This feels like DA2 all over again.
Also had the idea of a close range mage that nobody ever really does in RPGs. Imagine a mage that fights like an assassin but fires off magic in their combos.
The appeal of Mechwarrior was always the slow lumbering combat. It felt weighty and realistic like they should be. I always wanted this to be the prime mecha series for that reason. I say this as a long term fan of AC.
This is a short and what seems to be an out of touch review from a reviewer I've not noticed before. Is he new? The reviewer is getting ragged on in the comments section too by people who know the series better
These guys do great gameplay but I've never found the general dialogue to be good. Every game they do, the writing is so dull - loaded with exposition and patronising helpers that repeat themselves. Except for Louis in Metaphor. Probably my favourite antagonist in JRPGs.
Metaphor has a really fleshed out encyclopaedia. A dev only does something like that if they intend to make a franchise. There will absolutely be more games in this world. I just hope it deviates even further from the Persona formula because I've burnt out on that years ago.
Lara isn't as vulnerable as people say in the reboot games. If you play well she's a total badass in Rise, taking out groups of men like a sharpshooting Ninja. She's not whiney either. I mean at one point she was about to be shot down as an outsider and then said she understood their decision. Even though I'd be less understanding.
Literally all she's missing is the dual pistols. Which is a shame.
@JDCII we are not conditioned. Each gen has seen significant improvements. People are conditioned to be as negative as possible to feel special. Nobody is winning an award for saying FOMO or saying proudly that they won't buy a Pro. Unless there's an award for spewing repetitive dross where it's no longer relevant or warranted.
Rebirth failed because they butchered the story to make a weak convoluted sequel trilogy. Part 3 will be even worse because fans are savvy to what's going on by now. All they had to do was remake FF7 and they'd be printing money but ego took over.
I was burnt out on Horzion after the sequel and didn't even bother with the dlc so I'm glad the single player series won't be around for a while. Needs a break to avoid oversaturation.
The Pro has been around long enough now. People can stop complaining to feel special. Move on. I got one and, as a Performance mode player, it's a significant upgrade for me.
@Cloud39472 Origins and Odyssey was the peak of the entire AC franchise. The Ezio games are horrendously overrated. I'm saying this as someone who has been there since the reveal of the first game (which was originally supposed to be a PS3 launch title).
Forced diversity/tokenism isn't ok. It's a red flag. This game is not that. Her story as an onna-musha will be interesting. But you can blame other studios for shoehorning diversity as much as you can blame the loons that call literally anything woke.

Re: Dragon Age PS5 Remaster Collection Is Unlikely, But 'Never Say Never'
Remaster Origins ultimate edition with none of that modern audience nonsense. Just a 1:1 with performance improvements.

Re: Sony Adopting 'Show Don't Tell' Strategy with PS5
It's funny that I see this right after completing Doki Doki. Maybe Monika is real after all?
Re: New Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch Prepares for PS5 Pro with PSSR, Balanced Settings
I'll load it up to see how it differs between launch and Pro. Wont replay until we get an expansion.
Re: Players Made Uncomfortable by Talking Palicoes as Monster Hunter Wilds PS5 Beta Goes Live
Unnecessary lore expansion. Get back in the meow box.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Beta Is Prompting Fans to Reconsider PS5 Pro
@Rob_230 if something can be improved, improve it. I'm all in favour of Pro models.
Re: The Thing Remastered Looks Like a Superb PS5, PS4 Retelling of an Underappreciated PS2 Classic
Can't wait to play this hidden gem again

Re: Microsoft CEO Says More Xbox Games Will Come to PS5, Hours After Rumours Said Porting Project Was Paused
I don't care at all about Halo. It was good but after 3 it went downhill. Gears of War 1-3 was the only exclusives I wanted ported.
Re: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Reveals Baddies in PS5, PS4 Trailer
My main memory is the puzzles. So many puzzles. I hope Blood Omen gets something too.
Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
No cash option for me. Imagine removing the only thing i spent points on.
Re: PS5 Pro Patch Incoming for Helldivers 2
@ButterySmooth30FPS even though i platinumed RotR and didn't mind the fps it does need that boost. At the least it would make parrying work better.

Re: Horizon's Sylens Will Be Recast Following the Passing of Lance Reddick
Hope they keep his likeness at least. Can never get used to recasts
Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC
I would love that Venom game so bad. He's my favourite comic book character. Miss the the Spider-man & Venom days on the SNES
Re: Like a Dragon's PS5 Date Change Will Let You Play Monster Hunter Wilds with Peace of Mind, Director Says
MH is a long term commitment so makes sense to play this first anyway.
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Dodges Monster Hunter Wilds with New PS5, PS4 Release Date
@Netret0120 it's funny how bug-free their games generally are at launch and nobody brings it up.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 29
@Kingy I owned that game it was for PSX.
I can't believe RDR2 didn't win. It's easily one of the best games ever made.
Re: Starship Troopers: Extermination Hits Ground Running on PS5, Roadmap Revealed
@crossbit this has happened before especially with bundled games and upgrades
Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
I'm surprised because the character does not look marketable at all.
Re: Love Classic Lara Croft? Play the Crap Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS5, PS4
The irrelevant trilogy that temporarily killed off the series.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero?
@PuppetMaster you didn't play DBZ Hyper Dimension on the SNES? The best Z fighting game. It even had a solid online community through emulation.
Re: PS5 Pro, 30th Anniversary Consoles Now Available at More Retailers
People are still whining about the price 🥱

Japanese sure love the word super

Don't really need one when my Pro arrives.

Re: Silent Hill 2 (PS5) - The Horror Great Remains So in This Excellent Remake
@OldGamer999 back to back games as an everyman. Though Isaac is suspiciously good with guns in combat scenarios.
Re: First Review Scores for PS5's Metaphor: ReFantazio, Silent Hill 2 Are Glowing
Preordered both so review scores are meaningless

Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake Breaks Street Date, PS5 Discs Loose in the Wild
People were playing the PC version for weeks. I mean there was a Spanish dude blatantly streaming it on twitch.
Re: 'Difficult to Comment' on Astro Bot's Square Enix Snub, Says Team Asobi
Rebirth failed because they butchered the story to make a weak convoluted sequel trilogy. Part 3 will be even worse because fans are savvy to what's going on by now. All they had to do was remake FF7 and they'd be printing money but ego took over.
Re: Prospective PS6 Purchasers Would Consider a Portable Model
I have a steamdeck so no. I'll get the proper ps6
Re: Sony's Live Service Push 'No Joke', A Lot of People Working on Horizon Online
I was burnt out on Horzion after the sequel and didn't even bother with the dlc so I'm glad the single player series won't be around for a while. Needs a break to avoid oversaturation.
Re: Kojima's Next Big PlayStation Game Physint Will Take Some Time to Complete
Kojima is a true artist, unafraid to take risks. Never made a bad game. I can't wait for this and DS 2.
Re: Fans Appear to Be Coming Around to PS5 Pro
For a technological luxury item it's not expensive. People are kneejerk overreacting as always.
Re: PS5 Pro Will Supposedly Fix Rise of the Ronin's Shoddy Frame Rate
@Ralizah this was their first attempt at a big world game. I personally enjoyed the game overall.
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
@IOI not slightly better. People are being reductive for no reason. What do you gain from reducing the difference in capability?
Re: PS Store Confirms Lots More PS5 Pro Enhanced Games with New Tag
The Pro has been around long enough now. People can stop complaining to feel special. Move on. I got one and, as a Performance mode player, it's a significant upgrade for me.
Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
Still available in Ireland. I got mine. Turned down the 30th anniversary version but got the controller.
Re: Don't Give Up on Jin Just Yet, More Ghost of Tsushima Spin-Offs Planned
I thought First Light was awful. I hope they have upped their standalone game since.
I've also never felt Jin needed to exist outside of GoT. Not against it either.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Looks Sublime on PS5
MGS3 is not simply Kojima's best game. It's the best game. Can't wait for this remake, gonna be playing it on the Pro.
Re: The Last of Us PS5 Is Available Now with PS Plus Extra, Premium
I could never bother to finish this on ps3. I might give it another shot.
Re: The Biggest PS5, PS4 Winners from a Humongous State of Play
@Zemo55 onna-musha isn't woke but I've no doubt you don't read history books and want to live in your fantasy.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed on PS5 Until 14th February
I'll be buying LAD in February not this. You don't clash with my goofy darling franchise.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Triggers Social Media, Ex-Sony Exec Says 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Buy It'

Re: Ubisoft 'Fully Mobilised' After Soft Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Sales
A lot of people aren't buying it because of the Disney-picked protagonist.
