@Bez87 Yeah I played it for about 20 minutes, thought it was okay in a "I've got nothing else to do" kind of way, but that was it. Never went back to it. I know different people have different opinions on things but for this game it seems to be either "eh, it was okay for a bit, quite fun" or "I've been playing for 75 hours nonstop, send help".
@riceNpea Come on, in football all the players wear adverts on their shirts, the pitch is completely bordered by adverts and for most of its existence the Premier League has been named after a product. Don't get me wrong, the American thing of saying "this replay is brought to you by McDonald's - I'm lovin' it!" is laughable and annoying, but then Americans often find it weird that our players are walking billboards. We're just used to it.
I've wanted to get back into MLB The Show for ages and I quite like the idea of a Quidditch game for a bit of lighthearted fun - and I think my nephew will like playing it too which is a bonus. So for once, I'm actually happy with this selection.
@NoWayJose @riceNpea Well the obvious implication is that it feels like a mere product rather than a passion project. It's polished and refined but lacks soul - that's what I'd infer from that.
@Ravix Yeah, not to mention you're saving such a relatively small amount of money while waiting 3 months or more to do something you want to do. If you save £30 by waiting 3 months, you now have about 33p a day more for those 3 months. You go to a pub for a meal and a few pints and spend £40 but if I put off something I enjoy for a quarter of a year I can save less than that? Wow.
If you wait for it to be more patched, I can understand that - though personally, the games I buy aren't the ones that release as a buggy mess.
Well I'll just say I wouldn't even know this game existed if it wasn't for this site. For most people it's not about sending a message, it's just about not even knowing it exists - and if they do know, simply not being interested.
@Northern_munkey 10 hours a day playing the game would give someone 8 hours sleep a day and 6 hours to do whatever else. This is his job, he's not just managing to fit in a couple of hours of gaming a day after working at Greggs.
@Kenshir0 "No physical release 60 dollars is 46 quid on the exchange rate"
To be fair, US prices don't include tax whereas ours always do. We still pay slightly more than them because we're a much smaller market but if they had to pay what we do for VAT, they'd be paying £55.20. Or in other words, while the pre-tax price in the US is equivalent to £46, the pre-tax price here is £50.
Not a massive difference given how much easier it is to manufacture and ship the product en masse across the US compared to the UK, and with us being a significantly smaller market for games.
@KeanuReaves It's not borne out of ignorance, it's borne out of the knowledge that they intentionally avoided giving a PS site the PS version. Also, as said right above my post, UE5 games have struggled on PS5. And as said above that, they've never shown this game running on consoles. That said, it's typical that publishers show off the PC version because they want to put their best foot forward; it's not remotely standard to give a PS site access to only the PC version, though.
"you’re in the minority, because the Remote Play portable is proving a runaway hit for the platform holder." I'm not saying this to diss the Portal, I have no strong feelings about it either way, but unless the Portal has sold about 4 billion units, people with no interest in it are not in the minority. Even limiting it just to PS5 owners, there's no way the Portal has sold something like 25 million units (whatever half the PS5 install base is). If it's sold a million units, which would surprise me, that means 98% of PS5 owners haven't bought one. Anyway, some actual sales figures would be nice.
To be honest, I played it once on my phone, thought it was mildly diverting, then never felt like playing it again. There was some old twin stick shooter on PC, alien themed, that I got into years ago and it reminded me of that.
I've never liked Borderlands, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone in that. This article feels like I wrote it. The "humour" is painful and the characters are either so annoying that you wish you could manually delete your memories of them, or just embarrassingly try hard "badasses" that feel like a 14 year old who collects katanas created them.
@BeerIsAwesome It's pretty much been annual since it started in 2005. Only 2007, 2013, 2019 and 2022 didn't have a Yakuza game. So out of the 20 years of its existence there's been at least one release (sometimes two or three) in 16 of those years.
@Mikey856 Yeah I think the Wadjet Eye games are only on Steam (or GOG etc). There might be some exceptions. I'd really recommend Technobabylon, Unavowed and Resonance. The Blackwell games are very highly thought of, but I've not played them yet. Not a Wadjet Eye thing but that Pillars of the Earth game is meant to be really good too but again, I've not played it. It has a PS4 version.
I downloaded a few old JRPGs I'd never heard of from the classics collection and had a little look at them. Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light is one of them. It seems pretty cool but the main character moves so slowly, like he's underwater, and there's no sprint button (which is typical of older games, but still). You also have to press Square to target something before you can interact with it, including NPCs. Oh, and you move the camera with the shoulder buttons and it's soooo slow.
It's interesting playing older, forgotten games and then playing an older, not forgotten game like Tales of Symphonia. It's really clear why some games did well and others fell by the wayside when you play them years after release.
"Callender's suit alleges that Pitchford "breached his fiduciary duties by exploiting Gearbox employees and property to fund Pitchford’s private cravings," and one portion of the suit makes two sensational accusations about Pitchford's behavior: that he accidentally left a selection of "underage" pornography on a USB stick at a restaurant, and that he used his company's money to host parties where "adult men have reportedly exposed themselves to minors, to the amusement of Pitchford.""
@3Above Yeah, definitely. Despite being retro in style and inspiration, it's a very fresh take on all the elements. It's like Ogre Battle (not Tactics Ogre), Fire Emblem with a kind of FFT feel to the story.
A great thing is you don't just go "cutscene, battle, cutscene, battle..." like most SRPGs. Instead you walk around a huge world map like, say, FFVI, in between fights. There's side quests, main battles, special battles where you reclaim territory, you can upgrade towns you've retaken, talk to party members, do mock battles (basically little puzzles where you have to wipe out the enemy unit in one round), etc etc. It's all pretty non-linear so the order you get characters in, and thus who you have available for different battles, will change. Also dialogue choices that actually change things (basically if people die or join your party, but it's obvious which is which, so don't worry).
Overall it's just such a high quality thing, an obvious passion project rather than some churned out product. It feels like you've discovered a lost SNES or PS1 masterpiece.
Jeanne D'Arc and Unicorn Overlord. Both very good, but the latter in particular just keeps blowing me away with just about everything it does. Also dabbling in Borderlands 3 even though I don't really like it, just as a palate cleanser.
@StylesT Yeah, I had the same thing with the original. After I'd showed my friends the shark diving thing, and got them to try it; after we'd all had fun being too scared to go through a door in RE7; after I'd got bored of the novelty of watching films in VR like I was on a pitch black cinema... after all that, I realised I just wasn't going to use it again.
I do think there's something magical about VR, certain experiences felt like playing games for the first time as a kid, but at the same time there are too many problems with it and not enough support.
It looks pretty interesting, in that "game you'd buy on a whim from CeX and enjoy more than you'd expect" kind of way. But yeah, the animations look a little cheap. It's like everyone weighs about 4kg.
To be fair, they know this isn't going to blow up online so they seem to have treated it as a curiosity for nostalgic players to mess around with. With that in mind, the imbalance in the characters makes for a fun, drunk time with friends. It's never going to be a serious tournament fighter.
@Deadlyblack If he was a titular character in Tekken, he'd be called Tekken (or the series would be called Heihachi - which it might as well be at this point.)
@CJD87 Especially if you saw him on Hot Ones - and how completely different he is to Homelander, even down to body language and facial expressions. I mean, sure, he's not going to be a psychopath IRL but many actors still feel the same as their characters when you see them as themselves, like RDJ, Chris Evans, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks in many cases, even if the personalities are different.
Well it's not like Shepard could kill innocent people on the Citadel or decide to side with the Reapers or whatever. Bioware's RPGs have always been fairly light in terms of moral choices that actually make a difference, or in "lifestyle" variations for RP purposes. Like, Shepard can't take drugs unlike many other WRPGs. They've never got close to things like Fallout, TES, or Disco Elysium for that kind of thing. In Baldur's Gate you could kill NPCs but then you can't really complete the game as you're constantly attacked by powerful wizards teleporting in.
As far as I can remember, in DAO no one reacted to you using blood magic despite it being this deeply feared thing. You could use blood magic around Templars - who should really kill you for that - and they wouldn't even comment on it. This sounds like they're just trying to avoid that ludo-narrative dissonance.
@Dragoon1994 DQ typically hasn't been developed in-house, even when it was just Enix. In fact, I think only X and XI have been developed purely by Square Enix or Enix. I-V were made by Chunsoft, the people that made the Zero Escape series and who created the Mystery Dungeon series (and subgenre).
Well I've already played DQ3 several times and Metaphor: ReFantazio being on a time limit is massively off-putting, so of the JRPGs mentioned above, this is by far the one I'm most looking forward to.
@Frmknst I know what you mean. I got a book on Audible about 3 months ago and kept putting off listening to it. I just thought I'd listen to it at last - and also incidentally checked my purchase history... and it turns out it wasn't 3 months ago but was actually last October. 😵
The main one for me is Dragon Age - but also Fable if that does end up on PS5. Ys IX as well. I'm vaguely looking forward to DQIII and Suikoden I&II but since I've already played them at least once, and could play them again right now, it's hard to get too excited.
@ChrisDeku I don't care about whoever this guy is, but that's a terrible analogy because if you call your boss something to his face then he has proof you did it since he saw it. It would be like killing someone in front of the police. No need for an investigation then.
However, If I went to your boss and told him you insulted him behind his back, then he would presumably want proof - and presumably you'd be annoyed if you were fired when I had no proof.
@NEStalgia Yeah, I'd agree with that. The only people with Switches I know are little kids and, to further your point, none of them are allowed to connect to the internet. You also have to wonder how many profiles that are for kids and are connected might have been set up by the parents of kids. If you look at the UK sales charts, the PS5 (sometimes even the PS4) versions of games outsell the Switch ones quite heavily unless it's a distinctly kid-oriented game like Lego Harry Potter or the Bluey game.
"it's hard to shake the feeling that Bandai Namco would have shown it off during Summer Game Fest, which obviously commands a much larger audience"
Does it really matter when it's all mentioned all over the internet right after the announcement anyway? Three people could watch SGF and any gamers that read game sites or use forums would know right away anyway. Not that I'm saying it will be announced, although that would be my most anticipated thing BN could announce.
