@Supern0va I agree with that, the compartmentalisation of the story was a fun idea I thought, different Kings and characters to meet in each section. I also liked the future story in Valhalla for the first time in a while, I personally enjoyed how it paid off.

Yeah Viking stuff is probably more interesting to me also, I thought the egyptian stuff was dull and yeah, similar to you I skipped Odyssey.

@somnambulance Can I ask you a question?

I played Valhalla for 70hours but by about hour 35 I was kind of done. I found it too repetitive. Same with Origins. I kind of liked the story but found the gameplay lacking

Did you not find this? And what is your experience with these games?

@Nei keep it that way, the game is awful

Mara will always be the greatest monster ever created for a game

@Golem25 "sounds like a 4 or 5"

>is rated 5

Sounds like the reviewer agrees with you?

Please patch the performance capcom I'm begging you

@Fyz306903 I think at the time the stories seemed sweeping and interesting. replaying DE for the first time in 20 years really made me realise how far story in games has come over 2 decades though.

I think 2 still has the best narrative. 3 is interesting and a bit different although the open world gameplay wasnt great

awesome.

the last game absolutely beat me senseless

I honestly think these titles haven't age well, gameplay wise and story wise.

I think it was impressive at the time, but comparable to actual gangster movies and newer games, the storys pretty average. And the gameplay is very dull 2 decades later.

3s an outlier and just kind of a bad game.

A full reboot is how I'd do it. Or just shelf the series.

I have never felt more disconnected from the majority than seeing It Takes Two win GOTY. An awful dull videogame full of annoying characters in my opinion.

I think Brothers is also very overrated. A Way Out is just rubbish

insane theres not a cameo honestly, even just a radio playing at the start of a scene or something. seems like an easy win

@gaston True, potentially some staffs work on 6 is complete and the project they were moved to in Pre-Production was one of the canned ones.

Still sucks for the staff but glass half full and that

@Anke another victim of PSnow

I agree its more accessible and recent but man, Fallout 4 sucks. Its just nowhere near as good as any of the others, even if it is a bit more technically competent.

Please just let obsidian do one. Please

@anon_pel222 Dont lump alone in the dark,Outlast trials l, Amnesia bunker with those GOATED horror titles!

@GeeForce I thought the same about DS1 but that remake is incredible.

I think it'd be a shame if we didn't get DS2, especially as its beloved and the groundwork has already been put in

Maybe by the summer I'll be able to tear myself away from Balatro and get hooked on this

@Silenos bad take.

a hater is someone who hates something regardless, all the commenters here have specified why they don't like the game and I find that very useful.

feel free to comment why you think the game is brilliant!

fix the framerate first...

I bought hifi rush and pentiment, that'll have to be enough of a test for them. I have no interest in this title

@VaultGuy415 I think the only chance at this point is a Bloodborne Remake as a launch PS6 title. If this doesn't happen, its game over. We will never get anything.

Wow, what a get! First big one I've been interested in for a while!

good because presumably this means the performance will be improved, but its wild to think you can launch bad and then if the game doesnt sell, they'll just leave it in a janky state.

Fully burnt out on the series now, too many remakes and new entries in recent years. Don't think I'll be playing one for a while now unless there's a serious departure

@Anke yeah the same missions with more mastery it sounds like, and another copy paste brainiac.

It's honestly totally insane they thought this would fly.

@Anke Do you have the plat?

As a fellow hunter with the plat, I am never playing this title ever again. What a miserable endgame, I think I actually gave myself acute brain damage playing it

The Alone in the Dark IP must be stronger than I thought.

I have a little nostalgia for Alone in the Dark 2 but the preceding titles are so uninteresting that I've never really considered the series to be something worth looking into, especially with reviews like that recent title got.

Color me surprised.

@WolfyTn That is not one persons individual opinion.

FO4 was incredibly disappointing. The Radiant quests with no story purpose, the pointless crafting, the story, the AB logic of the dialogue trees (Hm do I answer Yes or Yes (but sarcastically))

76 is also bad, and Starfield has reviewed poorly too. They are a studio in decline!

Is DD2 an example of a game that could use a PS5 Pro? Or an example of a bad dev who hasn't optimised their game correctly?

@MomsSpaghetti yeah im loving the combat so far, very satisfying.

@ROTTIEMAN16 Sounds good. I picked up Rise of the Ronin so I'm just going to work on that until the patch.

@ROTTIEMAN16 I'm assuming they have a bespoke "performance mode" that disables these things and makes other tweaks to achieve a locked 60.

At least I hope so or my $60 will gather dust in my wallet.

I was disappointed with all the press around this and Dragons Dogma 2.

The frame rate issue in DD and the general disappointment in RotR with the story and gameplay loop.

Decided to buy neither and just work on my backlog.

Then both arrived in the post, guess I preordered them both at some point. RotR first, then I'll play DD after. Hopefully a few patches will have hit by then

@SuntannedDuck2 1844 words, you could submit this essay for peer review my man.

@BossBE yuppp.

Also, everything that isn't food, water and oxygen is unnecessary really. Everything else is just niceties you can choose to engage in or not.

Personally, I'm happy with 60FPS, so getting 60 plus some extra goodies with this new console would be a plus for me.

Ah you cant slam up a picture of a PS2 Simpsons title, and then when I read the headline its just fluff, not the announcement of it being playable/remastered

@LifeGirl It must be an ego thing. Presumably, he relishes being the "face" of video games. And it works for the industry as a whole because he bends over backwards for corporate interests. He suddenly spoke out about all the industry losses today, weird to hear no comment from the face of games...but he had to so he could start promoting this. Box ticking exercise.

He's awful at it, absolutely no sauce. He should keep the event going and farm out presenting duties. But without a mass revolt from viewers, the industry is happy to keep him in place to do this.

hopefully theres a bloomberg or axios deep dive into what happened to the studio. super strange

Dragons dogma has under 60 frames per second but if they fix that, I buy!

Looks awful. Prove me wrong.

30fps+no coop+L+ratio

This fake news stuff has become such a cycle.

Clout chasers online mock up and "report" credible stuff based on predictions. Before the Switch 2 and PS5 Pro rumours were actually backed up, there were years of fake rumours about it.

It's the equivalent of putting $500 on Red at roulette and if it comes in red declaring yourself a soothsayer. You'll often find with these leakers, if you dig into their online presence, a list of failed "leaks" (read: guesses)

That sucks. I dont want to play another 100 hours of Valhalla re-skinned. I already did that. Didnt even play the DLC because I didnt want another 30 hours.

@Ravensbane the article tells your he's a rapper, has tracks featured on GTA V and it's the 10th anniversary of an album of his.

I think the article gives you plenty of context for who he is, people still feel it's interesting to tell people "never heard of him". I couldn't care less

@carlos82 I will always be baffled why people make these performative "WHO" comments over celebrities/musicians, like clockwork.

I honestly think the beta was really fun, they added some great extra characters too. I'm super curious what they've been working on for an entire year for the proper release.

@TwoDents it would have already been in development when they bought Bethesda I think, there's a PS5 build of Starfield that was worked on until they were told to stop after the acquisition.

@bpomber Agreed. They dont stamp this on Yakuza reviews, but I very much know I don't enjoy the beat em up gameplay
