@Matroska @Bez87 There's definitely a time where I was very spoiled by new age stuff as well and it was during the PS4 era where anything that had the best looking graphics was the best thing ever for me. Overtime I'm caring about that less and less about that and focus more on the art style and gameplay and if the game is super old I'll usually try to think about how it was played back then since devs had more limitations. You're definitely not wrong about certain games holding up differently like MGS 1 held up extremely well and that shocked the hell out of me and then I decided to try out Metal Gear 1 and oh boy I didn't particularly get far into that lol. So maybe The Thing won't hold up that well for me, but I'll just have to check it out later.
@Bez87 So try to be in the shoes of a person that is in that time. I didn't think I would enjoy MGS1 because it had such old and ugly graphics and then I played it and I actually had fun with it to the point where I beat it and continued on to play MGS 2 and now I even want to play Silent Hill 1.
Good on them, I can see what they were trying to do with Lethal difficulty(Even though it limits variation in gameplay), but the nerfs to classes and weapons are not ok in a game that is mainly PVE.
@KilloWertz Personally just not a fan of changing your story because someone died or a tragic event happened, tell the story you want to tell. You want to delay it to let people mourn or put in a message about it that's fine.
@Arthur_Morgan Yeah that's what I was gonna say, they remade a game and improved upon existing gameplay mechanics. I don't think that shows anything other than they know how to keep a game faithful.
@naruball I mean I loved Miles in Spiderverse but in Spiderman 2 and Miles Morales I was just not that much of a fan of him. Would definitely prefer it if Peter was still the main Spiderman in future games.
I enjoyed it but multiple things held it back for me, for one it was playing it too safe with with activities(I skipped it when I did everythingin the first game), the stealth was a downgrade(Stealth tools are gone for some reason) and very easy to exploit the AI(Since they are too stupid to look up, the ending bossfight, MJ being overpowered against trained soldiers of Kraven, the ending bossfight being anticlimactic, and the Venom not being long enough.
I can't say I am enjoying it much from the demo, don't really like the character designs, characters, the world, or even its music. It will be a skip for me until Persona 6
The only thing I ever use it for is to check my battery level, other than that I basically never use it. Why couldn't we have gotten themes for the entire UI?
Just remember, in the future were most likely going to be paying $100 for standard edition of games if this keeps going of raising the price of games by $10
Definitely an 8, it is a great remake but Maria/ Mary's voice acting is just not good. It is so robotic and unnatural compared to the OG and since she is such a big part of the game it drops score of the game by a couple points. Everything else though is top notch besides a couple small flaws like Maria being in front of us during a certain chase.
I've played all the BT games but I have never really enjoyed them much compared to the original Budokai games. Budokai 3 is probably my second most favorite dragonball game with FighterZ being first. Man I wish we got another Burst Limit game though, that was the one game that got me wanting an XBOX 360 a long time ago.
@Northern_munkey Even if I do sometimes support those types of greedy games(I bought MW 2019 and MW2022) I agree entirely. I'm still not gonna play it if it goes free because I do not like the character designs at all and I have no care for hero shooters.
@SuntannedDuck2 I watched it a long ass time ago when Pewdiepie made a playthrough of it and it made me want to play it, but never got a PS3 at the time. Is Siren that much better? From my understanding it required a community to even figure parts out.
@Yagami I beat MGS1 for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it is SHOCKING how well that game holds up for its age. I thought I would dislike it because it graphics were so pixelated and old but I actually really loved it. It's also making me want to play SH1 now.
I mean if it's not in the game because of story related reasons that's whatever, but if you just straight up took them out entirely because there's a person scared of them that's incredibly stupid.
Still sucks to see the story mode just be slide shows but I understand since they put a CRAP TON of characters to include into the story mode. Now I just want a Dragon Ball game that actually has a story mode that isn't repeating the same story for the billionth time. The only time we ever got something like that was with FighterZ and it was pretty disappointing :/
Persona 5's menu UI is my second most favorite UI. The amount of work put into it is so damn good. Most favorite still gotta go to Dead Space though, the pure genius of having the UI be part of your character and be part of the world too is amazing.
Them removing O Death and the blue tinted atmosphere is what will keep me from buying this remake. Such a waste of resources that could have benefited something else.
Unfortunately I already bought and played Dead Space but I might as well replay it with a fresh new save. I can't stand playing horror games with ng+ saves anymore unfortunately
@nomither6 That's certainly a childish way of thinking. I would rather wait until the devs actually think of a good idea for a proper sequel instead of rushing one out because it's the third sequel. Outlast Trials is a fun coop game and especially with friends but I cannot deny it does not compare to Outlast 1 and 2 due to the way the mission design works.
I really hope there isn't anyone that gives up money to these morons. Yes it sucks to be leaked but it is better to let them know that blackmail will not work.
@Steel76 Probably the most annoying thing about dialogue in some of the Playstation games, whenever you're just wanting to explore a bit you have to listen to "uhhhh u kno ur going dah wrong way right??" Like shut up, I'm aware of that.
