Haze definitely wasn't awful, it just didn't live up to the hype. The only thing that was awful was it meant we didn't get any more Timesplitters games.
I'll probably pick it up down the line once the price drops a bit and it's been patched. I enjoyed the previous game and it sounds like this is a nice step up in terms of story telling which is always a good thing. And a shift to a linear approach is probably for the best I'm guessing.
Very interesting, would love to play some of these games again. But the price for what you get isn't particularly tempting, sadly. Might watch out for a sale if that is at all likely.
People getting really worked up over semantics. For a term made up by executives that they will happily abandon and rename at a time of their choosing.
To be honest, I don't even know what the game is about. Just that it's online only and you fire guns and I'm not even sure how accurate that is. I do feel really bad for the developers who put so much hard work into it though. Must be very frustrating to see something you worked so hard on not doing well.
Interesting to hear the story telling has improved. Unexpected as I felt this was by far the weakest point of MH Worlds, where the characters felt plain and boring. Which is fine as the monsters are of course the star of the show, but a more compelling narrative would be great to see.
I see the first Blood Omen game has been on gog for a few years. Would be nice if it was available on Playstation as well, seeing as it's a ps1 classic.
It was a fun card game. Pretty easy but the interactions were entertaining. Hopefully we can challenge Sephiroth to a game, that would make a perfect ending to the story.
As soon as I saw the price tag they were paying, I thought the decision looked absolutely bananas. I feel they could have snapped up several far more talented teams for that money. But I just play video games and the Sony bigwigs, they clearly had a masterful plan in mind. I haven't seen any sign of it yet.. maybe it was more of a gamble? Time will tell.
Easily my favourite of the Steamworld games. The first one was great on the vita. Would like to see them add a bit more depth to the game but I'm sure it will be much fun regardless.
@Uromastryx Fair comment, the games you mention are a lot more impressive in their design. Can't say I'd miss DN at all if they never made another one.
Well done to him for having the guts to stand up and tell it like it is. Sony doesn't deserve to benefit from the success of quality indie games unless it makes the effort to support them.
Here's some advertisements we make you watch before you get to watch the advertisements you might enjoy.. maybe. While telling the best game creators to be quiet. Fun.
I'm sure Sony will make plenty more of them, clearly a market for it. Hopefully Sony considers making another PSP one day. Unlikely but you never know.
@Robocod That's interesting, cheers! Ocean did make some cool games. I played Predator on the Atari ST. Didn't get far though, the difficulty was indeed very high.
@LifeGirl I'd rather avoid spoilers but his interactions with a lot of the major characters really establish him as a villain to be feared much more than your average antagonist, and he makes it personal. And teaming up with him in a flashback is a nice touch as well.
First unfinished game I can think of was Robocop on the Commodore 64 released back in 1988. Games being much more difficult in those days, they made one level pretty much impossible, so customers didn't find out until many years later the game was actually completely unfinished.
@Balosi Yes, Dreams is pretty good, I did enjoy the adventure MM put together using the engine. A very different beast to LBP but that's to be expected.
Really excited for this, hugely enjoyed all the old Armored Core games and confident this will be the best one yet. Nice so many more people will get to experience this game.
Totally happy with a few minor tweaks and for them to flesh things out but have to agree with the above. The ending to the first part was disappointing. And I am also concerned you'll have characters spewing incomprehensible nonsense about timelines & the multiverse for long periods of time. How they think that would be good for new players, I just don't know. Hopefully they don't go off on a tangent.

All the best, hope you have a nice day!

Sounds like a guide is needed for that screen.
Re: Random: Lara Croft Tops Mario as the Most Iconic Video Game Character of All Time, Apparently
If Sackboy is coming in 5th, maybe that's a sign to Sony to get Media Molecule onto Littlebigplanet 4. The first 2 games were fantastic.

Agreed, although not just of late, he's been very creepy and dishonest for a long time. Really put me off anything he's involved in.

True, would have been nice to have the option at least.
Re: Incoming Helldivers 2 PS5 Patch Adds Planetary Hazards, Rebalances Weapons, More
Very happy to see such a big damage increase on the flamethrower. Not such if it damages high armour targets though.
Re: Dune: Awakening Takes Place in Alternate Timeline, Devs 'Sort of Sidestep Religion'
It has the Dune name and there's some sand in it as well. Close enough - 8/10.

But will it be on the PS Vita as well?

He remade the rules of what an antagonist was able to do in a video game.

Fair point, it's not a super generic scifi 1st person shooter. So very unlikely to hold any interest for long.
