@Fortysixter_uk Just curious, how many of those games have you played? (AC and sequels, Far Cry, Ghosts of Tsushima etc etc)

And you still enjoy them as much as you did the first? I dont mind them, I just feel like overexposure to this type of game has dulled the edges for me

Imagine the meeting in pre-production

"We've got LOTR! Whos going to be the main character? Maybe Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf? Maybe an evil game with an Orc or something cool!"

"Nah man I've got it. You know Gollum?"

"Gollum? The pathetic character that is essentially just a little weasel sneak who everyone hates? He's also pretty annoying to talk to and has no powers or anything interesting you could utilize in gameplay?"

"Yeah! Him! Greenlight it!"

@Tharsman enjoy clearing out 100 imperial outposts, opening 500 bounty hunter caches and finding buried jedi artifacts based on treasure maps

This has nothing to do with the buyout, as the game is F2P it will stay on PS, just like how Destiny 2 is still available with updates on Xbox.

will find out if its just nostalgia for the psp thats drawing me to pursuit force.

remember it being awesome

Jesus, I know you guys dabble with SEO bait on new releases but this is really beneath you.

@KundaliniRising333
I think I have a good impression in my head because miles morales is a tighter experience but yeah I think you're right, it's been a while since I played the first one

5/10.

Performance gives this a significant score hit, but I think the story is less engaging and everything they added (extra stances, seed farm, bar you can recruit people to) is bloat

The two big IP franchises (This and Harry Potter) were both disappointing. I'm hoping Spiderman fairs better

I am astonished at how bad it is.

Other than AC Unity, I cant think of a AAA, hyped high budget game thats launched this poorly.

I'd cite Cyberpunk but I think it actually performed better than this (although this has only hard crashed on me once)

a rare disagree with the consensus from me as I've been dying to try Chivalry 2 but dont like paying for multiplayer titles in case I fall off quickly

@Anti-Matter I'd love them to put together an in-house team and just pump out sequels alongside their Marvel stuff.

Fun to play, good characters, I miss them

I dropped this game so hard, but the combat is looking pretty good here.

Legacy is like a billion hours long.

I'm personally not a fan of half-baked minigames in titles to extend their play time by hours.

Lock your framerate to 30 and I lock your review score to 6 out of 10.

For me, a new game plus mode should make you beastly. Like resident evil new game plus with infinite rocket launcher

@Korgon agreed. its a super fun Smash competitor imo, and they have a pretty massive bank of characters to add.

Theres no way we dont get a World 2 and I am so excited for it.

Obviously awful behavior, however the VA on Ada is really bizarre. Makes sense it's a different actress to 2, I was wondering why it hadn't bothered me there.

A point on this that I feel is rarely made, some of the blame should be pointed at the director and their VA direction. If it's not hitting tonally, it's not just an actors fault. It's someones responsibility to correctly project to the talent how to give the performance they want. And if it's not working at all, they can recast.

GIVE ME TEAM BATTLE IT WASNT IN 7 AND IS THE BEST MOOOOOOOOOODE

I think Bravo Team was totally busted on launch as well right? I think the tracking was screwey.

I've heard people say the latest dark pictures remains unpatched too. They definitely rush to get games out the doors. Imagine the state this would've launched in if it came out on psvr2s release

@LiamCroft is it good

u wot m8

blimey

@frankmcma open the game as part of ps plus, walked forward like 5 steps, googled "does new dawn have a performance mode", deleted from my harddrive.

Wouldn't mind giving it a go if it gets a fix

I've been slinging this opinion around like a cowboy but I think it's become evident that Until Dawn was a fluke/The Sony money shored it up.

Sony were right to dump this dev, i was always surprised they didn't pick them up but dud after dud is proving them correct. Maybe they could see this on studio visits and knew to steer clear?

I played this in 2016 on launch and then 7 years later last week.

I feel the gameplay and the humour has aged terribly. If you're the kind of person who laughs at Elon musk's 10 year old memes he reposts, you'll be right at home but I just felt that we'd moved on.

I don't think I laughed once throughout the experience. And I think once thats out the window, you're essentially just simulating boring jobs in a very simplistic way.

I wouldn't recommend it.

I haven't tried Vacation Simulator yet, it might fair better

I cannot understand this new insistence on "Iron Man" type game modes that wipe literally hours of progress for making mistakes.

If you enjoy these, I think you're insane.

Especially as we now live in a world where glitchy games can cause a death thats going to clear your entire save.

Just as we break away from a world of unnecessary multiplayer tacked onto games with their classic "get to level 100 on a dead, bad multiplayer game mode", this is a new norm. It sucks.

@darkswabber no it doesnt, you have to replay 4 lessons in the game 4 different times and play the first accio challenge over and over. Its stupid, its not challenging it just takes ages

@NEStalgia @h15c0r3r
The songs have a beat to them, if you shoot the enemies to the beat you get bonus points.

It's not always the second you see them, sometimes you have to literally wait for the beat/a drop.

I tried the hard difficulty and did find myself flailing around on the floor like a fish trying to avoid getting blasted

@thefourfoldroot1 I think the pitch is infinitely more entertaining than the actual game. I was so excited for this.

Its so boring.

@h15c0r3r Pistol Whip I think is my favourite, followed by Thumper and Tetris.

I haven't tried Area X yet in Rez

@h15c0r3r I have never played Rez before and found it underwhelming. I did the 5 story levels yesterday and just didnt think much of it. Am I missing something?

I feel the game has a really good intro and initial 4 hours, and then the quality absolutely tanks.

The story is uninteresting, the gameplay is unvaried and its so repetitive.

Good note on the sense controllers.

Just doesnt work at all for this game honestly.

between PSVR, Hogwarts, Dead Space and a killer Plus lineup this month I just dont have time for it.

No idea when im going to fit it in

@Art_Vandelay yeah no upgrade path for PSPlus users.

It's a thing, its the same for other titles that I got on Plus and then had a PS5 version later.

This is probably the first really good month since the service launched.

Lots to try here.

@Worlock_ed hell yeah buddy

Might be wrong, but I believe the reason is that PC players begrudge paying full price for a year old game.

Which is a shame, because its brilliant. But I can see both sides

@smellslikejavier yeah I wish they'd stop running full articles on the Frankfurt School, the Cultural Revolution and Marxist theory.

@Wheatly maybe. But time does do funny things. I remember when Bioshock 2 came out and everyone ***** on it. Boring, derivative etc.

Then years later suddenly, people were like "actually, its good"

Once this stuff eventually fades away, I honestly believe some revisionism will go on and the game will solely be remembered fondly as a truly great game.

I am already seeing some, I saw someone (quite rightly honestly) pontificate on the fact that Naughty Dog somehow managed to persuade Sony to fund what is essentially a AAA, big budget Manhunt game. Some of the most brutal content you'll see in a mainstream game!

the salt produced from this game was and still is absolutely incredible.

I remember seeing a detailed post about the calorie breakdown of the beef burrito Abby eats in the game where the poster had surmised that the protein content wouldn't enable somebody to maintain the muscular physique that she has in the game.

@LiamCroft I own a time machine

...it in fact, did not

I don't think it will

Wow, Gorn is great news. It looks super fun and I never tried it!

Honestly, the game is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I've played over 500 matches.

However, I don't have enough time to play a F2P game 6 hours a day, forever anymore.

And those who do have to pick one. There are so many on the market. It's a shame!

PSVR2 first person eyeball scene please, complete with rumble and eye tracking to ensure you don't close your eyes

if true, an absolutely seismic, earthshattering L for Square Enix AGAIN. how do they do it

As someone who has only played MH: World (base, no expansion), but played for maybe 100 hours and enjoyed it, should I play this?
