@nessisonett, it's generally pretty good here these days; this and South Park: Stick of Truth are probably the most high-profile examples, and that was back in 2013 before we had an R18+ rating.
@TheAmbienWalrus Yeah, sorry, mate, as both an Australian and a Queenslander specifically, I promise you my arachnophobia is entirely justified. I've had a dinner-plate-sized huntsman, audibly spitting in anger, jump off a wall and onto my face before getting caught in my hair. Google at your peril!
Sadly, that's kind of a deal breaker for me, at least until a potential PS5 Pro upgrade patch is released. 30fps is still the reason I never got around to playing the original or Dark Arisen, just can't do it anymore.
@Amusei @Tecinthebrain @Yaycandy Plot twist: I'm from Australia. Some of our most beloved national heroes were convicted criminals; my ancestors certainly were
@zhoont Yeah I'm pretty intrigued to see what they can do. Vampyr was definitely rough around the edges, but it had some really interesting mechanics and concepts, hoping for more of that!
@dark_knightmare2 Call me old-fashioned, but I'd probably still give GOAT status to Baldur's Gate 2 haha. But both Pathfinder games were great, you're right, and I can't wait for this either
@Brydontk Definetly not just you, still the biggest issue the genre is facing on console. I think its sloooowly getting better, but still a long way to go haha
@Theaussiegamer92 It is technically isometric, but you can zoom right down to essentially third-person while exploring. Combat is definitely top-down, however, haha
@KaijuKaiser, I can't believe it even got made! Different strokes, of course, it's like catnip to me, but yeah, not in a 1000 years would I have predicted this.
@Ravix, we'll cover a lot of world and system stuff in guide content, gameplay will get a LOT of focus from me in our PS5 review. And I'll stop writing them when you all stop showing up to read them!
