The time window on those breach chests are insane. I'm just making them but oof. I cant imagine how someone with slower reaction times would do it, and if you were color blind

@Porco agreed. I really like the gameplay which is keeping me hooked but the story is a real nothingburger and the VO is pretty awful

@DennisReynolds I think I prefer the combat in Stellar Blade to Nier, although yeah, the story and voice acting is nowhere near as strong.

Anyone gassed about "censorship" in this title, open the menu, go to the costume section and click your current costume.

It removes your current costume and thus, all of Eve's clothes.

@Futureshark I have full faith that you'll get over this, don't worry.

Time heals all wounds

@Terra_Custodes the dream

I wish it was a better game they'd chosen to give a little touchup.
I'd take New Vegas, I'd even take 3. 4's such a bummer of a game, I wish it was better

I'd love to get that Gears of War Ultimate Edition, play a little Team Deathmatch on Gridlock for old times sake

It's working now, I just downloaded.

It wasnt working yesterday so I was definitely affected

I need that performance patch asap

@R_Ryder interesting take. I think the whole franchise just kind of sucks.

First game was too edgy with this depressing dull protag, second they overcorrected and the characters were too wacky.

Third game, they just blanked off and had no protag. Also bad. they cant win, I think they should trash the series

@wildcat_kickz I will probably just check the reviews, see if it requires you to invade 1000 strongholds and open 10,000 chests and then not buy the game if thats the case.

some more juicy gameplay would be good, less mashy

@somnambulance I'm with ya! Yeah I dont think I would have finished it if it wasnt a launch title, I was aching for stuff to play after Demon Souls and Miles Morales and just ploughed on with it.

AC Red has a lot to do to make up for some of these weaker elements, but any preview coverage I've read so far sounds a lot like they haven't learnt any lessons at all. I'll keep my fingers crossed though

@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.
