@ear_wig @Kiefer-Sutherland recommend this as a very solid 7/10 experience. it is a fun old school PS2 kind of game with not a ton of originality but it makes up for it with good gameplay. if it is on a decent discount go for it
@TheArt ah man I feel like I do understand is the thing but the gameplay just does not feel good to me. they clearly put a ton into them and I respect it tremendously but it just does not click it is so damn slow. anyway I am sure on a slow day I will boot it up again but the future looks bleak for me and this series haha
@Colour my feelings exactly. the movement in combat is miserable and the length of the fights make the games so unenjoyable for me. I have wanted to love them and have tried to get into the series for years but I bounce off every time because the mechanics are anti-fun and I cannot see it any other way
I loved this game back in the day but its kindddd of hard to play now real janky and the controls are rough. Still a lot of fun though if you've never played it
I've never played this series, the combat in the demo was solid though. I just felt confused and overwhelmed with all of the characters and story elements, it seems a high barrier to entry for someone not familiar with the games and I don't think I'll be playing it any time soon
wow I didn't realize how many people disliked this game. I thought it was pretty fun although admittedly I'm not a massive Borderlands fan but I had a really good time with it
@PuppetMaster in English saying “I’m sure” is just a figure of speech indicating you think something is likely. He also said he was sure there was opportunity meaning chances to have MTX so nowhere did he say they were definitely in the game. Anyway hope it’s a good game I will move on now
not loving the war paint on Aloy but all of the other ones are cool. I probably won't get them I have enough junk cluttering my desk but 10 years ago I would have been all over this kind of thing
really liking it so far and I have gotten to the final boss but there are a lot of areas I still can't figure out how to get to. I am looking down over the cliff and see so much of the map but I cannot get down there! might break soon and just do some Googling so I can finally explore that whole lower section of the map before I finish things off
thanks for doing this after I finally beat Messmer lol. but nah I don't think they should have done it. they designed it the way it was for a reason. that being said I am not complaining about a little more help when I hear the final boss is brutal
@Cloud39472 laughable take. what is the point of gaming in general then? just because there is more of an emphasis on overcoming challenges and people enjoy that doesn't say anything about their lives. its the type of gaming experience they enjoy, just like you enjoy your own experience. the accomplishment is personal and has nothing to do with bragging it just feels good to know you put in the work and were able to overcome something difficult and complex
I am sitting on my hands trying to pretend to care about work just waiting for tomorrow. It is getting unbearable at this point i wish i could fast forward to midnight. just a few more hours ladies and gentlemen the pain is almost over
@Contimaloris I've heard others say if you run the PS4 version on PS5 it runs smoother. I never had any issues with how it runs though with the PS5 version
day off on friday to drink all day and play lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@Silenos I think I’m about 210 and was a little concerned about being over leveled but I’m still getting my ass kicked by basic enemies and side bosses sometimes so I think I’m gonna need all the help I can get lol
@Kidfunkadelic83 been trying to find this out myself, haven't been able to get any info on it. would be so thrilled to be able to play this with a partner
Edit: preorder has it listed as one player if that’s to be believed
@Cloud39472 those expectations are set by Square Enix more than Push Square and it seems to me they respond accordingly rather than having their own bias. Square is constantly setting ridiculously high sales expectations on their games and they consistently fail to deliver on them so that's where it comes from imo. Final Fantasy is also a massive property so it makes sense to have higher marks than something much more niche like DD2 or SB
Just came to echo what others have said this game rocks. Playing through it now and the complaints about enemy variety are warranted but other than that the performance has been fine and the fast travel stuff isn't too much of a hindrance. Story and gameplay are excellent

@WizzNL you might be exaggerating but it’s probably one remaster for every 10 new games if not even less so this narrative is getting really overblown
