Re: Days Gone PS5 Remaster Rumours Start to Snowball

KeldorTheCursed

@TIEMs pretty liberal American here, and I loved the game. I didn't get any of that at all. Would I want to hang out with Deacon and Boozer IRL? Probably not, but I don't need video game characters to be proxies of me/my beliefs in order to enjoy their story. It's just a game.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws' Instant Fail Stealth Sections Will Be Reworked in Upcoming PS5 Patch

KeldorTheCursed

I'm only about 4 hours in, but having entered with tempered expectations, I'm actually really enjoying myself. I'm not very big on the two Jedi games, even got bored with the second one and stopped playing. This one feels more like inhabiting one of my favorite franchises. That said, I don't hate Ubisoft games as much as some. I only play one every few years, so I'm not as bored with the formula as someone would be who plays a lot of them.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Specs Could Leak Very Soon as Dev Kits Go Out to Studios

KeldorTheCursed

I got a PS4 very early and was happy with my PS4 Pro. Having had a PS5 since launch, I’m still very happy with it. It would really depend on what the upgrades are and how much of an upgrade they are. I just bought a new 75” 4K tv and won’t be getting a new one for many years, so it would really depend on what kind of improvements we’d see in the system itself and whether or not they are worth it to me. At the moment, that’s completely unknown, of course.

Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch

KeldorTheCursed

@Mephisto2869 I have a bunch of NECA, MAFEX and a few Hot Toys, too. Nice to see a fellow Robo fan here!

The gun sounds a bit off, but I’m more annoyed that it doesn’t have the distinctive flames shooting out of the sides, lol. Weller’s voice I don’t mind because the man is old. I didn’t expect it to sound exactly the same. It’s close enough for me.

I have nits I could pick, but they don’t detract from the experience for me. I still play RoboCop vs the Terminator on my Sega Genesis from time to time because it’s the last good Robo game, and it came out in 1993! I’m willing to forgive Rogue City a few nits for it being as good as it is. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Besides that, I read somewhere that someone is hoarding the sound library and not licensing it out, so I guess they did what they could with that. From what I understand, this is something that happens from time to time, and it’s a shame.

Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Officially Publisher Nacon's Best Ever Launch

KeldorTheCursed

I'm probably the resident RoboNut on here. Tons of collectibles, favorite movie of all time, etc. I'm on my third play through of Rogue City. Although it's perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, it's my personal GOTY and was well worth the money for the Alex Murphy edition.

I hope we get DLC but I also hope we get a full blown RoboCop: Rogue City sequel. This dev just "gets it."

Re: Poll: Is God of War Ragnarok Still One of Sony's Best Games, One Year Later?

KeldorTheCursed

For clarification, despite not finishing it, I was enjoying it. I just got kind of bored at a certain point (Asgard, which I REALLY hope is at least halfway through. Can anyone confirm?).

Meanwhile I'm on my THIRD play through of RoboCop: Rogue City. Still going despite having the Platinum.

I think a lot of these big budget AAA titles spend so much time being cinematic masterpieces that they forget to be fun video games.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Back RoboCop, But FC 24 Sneaks By

KeldorTheCursed

I'm really happy for the RoboCop developers. Reviews were up and down, but the player scores have been pretty consistently high and word of mouth has been really great.

It's my personal GOTY because I'm a huge Robo fan and I've had more fun playing Rogue City than anything else this year.

I'm about halfway through my second play through and hoping for a NG+ soon (robo fingers crossed).

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

KeldorTheCursed

8 because all of the Venom stuff was a huge whiff for me as a massive Venom/Eddie Brock fan. Just too out of character and odd. Plus giving not one but two Eddie Brock roles to other characters stung a bit as a fan of the character.

That said, the Kraven stuff was great and Harry was great other than the symbiote stuff. The gameplay elements were improved enough as well. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Story was better in the first game, everything else was better here.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Is a PS5 Masterpiece, According to Super Smash Bros Maker

KeldorTheCursed

A brief follow up on Spider-Man 2 (if anyone cares). I liked the ending. It hit the emotional notes I was looking for in a Spider-Man game… but I still really didn’t like what they did with Venom. It was a huge whiff for me in an otherwise excellent story. I liked some elements they brought in from recent depictions of the character, but they didn’t pay off other than for visuals and he really was just Venom in name only to me, so that was pretty disappointing.

But that’s just one negative mark on an otherwise excellent experience and I’m really just more annoyed by it because I’m as big of a Venom fan as I am. I’m sure other people’s mileage will vary greatly. I’ve already seen other people saying it’s the best depiction of the character ever, so what do I know?

Anyway, it’s still a great game and if you love Spider-Man, you should play it.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Is a PS5 Masterpiece, According to Super Smash Bros Maker

KeldorTheCursed

I have one mission left (maybe 2?) in SM2 and my impression (so far) is that I preferred the story in the first game, despite being a huge Venom fan. This just isn't "my" Venom at all, but I suppose that was the intention. That and some other things have really solidified the "alternate universe" aspect of the series and it feels like less of a "true" Spider-Man game because of it. But that's just me and is of course entirely subjective. That being said, the gameplay is pretty much perfect and the side quests are a lot better and more fleshed out. I still really love the game but I think the first story hit me harder. Maybe that will change as I wrap this one up.

Re: Skipping RoboCop: Rogue City on PS5? You're Going to Need a New Plan

KeldorTheCursed

Since RoboCop is my favorite film and it's been 30 years since a good RoboCop game (1993's RoboCop vs The Terminator), I'm VERY excited for this one. Even more so than Spider-Man 2, which I'm also pretty hyped for. Instant pre-order for me. I'll buy that for a (lot more than) a dollar!

@atthegates I don't know about how it'll be on my PS5, but John from DF LOVED the PC demo. He raved about it on the Sunday's weekly video. Hopefully the full game is optimized well across all platforms.

Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Much More of an RPG Than You Might Think

KeldorTheCursed

I’m really looking forward to Spider-Man 2, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t more excited for RoboCop. I still occasionally play RoboCop vs the Terminator on my Sega Genesis because I’m a HUGE RoboCop fan (it’s my favorite movie) and there hasn’t been a truly good Robo game in decades. I’m super hyped for this as it’s right up my (dystopian Detroit) alley.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Mirage?

KeldorTheCursed

I’ve played most of the series (I skipped a few after 3) and enjoyed Origins and Odyssey (especially the later). That being said, while Valhalla was so big I got bored with it and never finished it, this return to the older style of games doesn’t interest me, either. Feels like a “been there, done that” to me. I also found Basim (and all of the Valhalla characters, really) deeply uninteresting, so I’m not excited to play as him. I hope those playing really enjoy it and have a good time with it, but I’ll be skipping this one.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 (PS5) - One of the Greatest RPGs of Our Time

KeldorTheCursed

I've never played D&D or any other turn based RPG and I wasn't sure if I'd like BG3, but I wanted to support the studio for their accomplishment of actually releasing a complete game with no microtransactions in this day and age of modern gaming. That being said, I'm about 10 hours in and loving every minute!

Re: AEW: Fight Forever (PS5) - A Superkick Party Pooper Fit for Elite Fans Only

KeldorTheCursed

I’ve been enjoying it for what it is (a half baked, but fun game), but it’s way overpriced. I hope they add a lot of wrestlers over time or it will wear out its welcome rather quickly for most people. New wrestlers added now and again should keep it entertaining for die hard Aew fans and/or people who enjoy the arcadey gameplay.

I will say that I remapped the controls somewhat as they weren’t intuitive for me at all.
