@arsmolinarc I don't mind open world if it's done right like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Elden Ring, but unfortunately not a whole lot are like that where it is icons all over the map and in game. I don't think this will be a open world game though. They never mention open world a single time here and in the trailer we can see the hunter using an SOS flare which probably means that we still have a hub to go back to. The only things that do sound like it is is seamless quest starting, surprises around every corner, and it being dynamic. For right now we will just have to wait until it is possibly confirmed in the Summer Game Fest.
I knew it was happening again lol, these state of plays are just not good. Genuinely the only thing good to come out of it was Wilds gameplay and Astro Bot
@Northern_munkey Agreed, I love it but there's needs to be more and I would love if outfits had more unique passives. The fact that we didn't get a passive to be able to run more easily in deep snow or ice with the last warbond is disappointing and shows they need more time in the oven.
@Athrum It was actually confirmed in a datamine that they did make him look younger or I guess smoothened his face out because it got criticized for looking too emotional during the mirror scene. I certainly think it looks better imo.
Yeah I could tell it wasn't gonna be any good once I started hearing the quirky Marvel humor dialogue. Well at least I got to see more Monster Hunter Wilds. That's the most positive thing I can say about this State of Play.
@DETfaninATL Yeah honestly it's between Dragon's Dogma 2 and Stellar Blade for me. Both have weak stories sadly but the gameplay is so good that you can basically ignore them. Until another game comes up I'm sticking with these two
@wiiware It's just how are you gonna say that unironically when we have outfits that are more revealing than those outfits, especially when we have the skin suit, Racer outfit, and even some of dresses that shows Eve's bare ass? Your logic is just weird. Lets not forget about the female guards that you fight that arguably have much more revealing cleavage than Eve's outfits. If Sony was out to censor this game they would've done it with every single outfit and never give you a way to actually see it by moving the camera around. It's pretty clear that the "censorship" was just stylistic choices and not forced.
@wiiware But it wasn't censored, otherwise they would have changed the original outfits back to the release version. Why go through the effort of adding in a new variant of the same outfit rather than just reverting the original?
@IamJT Troy Baker literally said before the game came out that it would be divisive and that one scene that made it divisive is less than a couple of hours into the game. It was going to be a divisive game regardless.
@Topov81 I couldn't care less for Uncharted puzzles because they are so simple that a 10 year old can figure out. I appreciated old titles such as Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, because it was fun and challenging to figure out. Even Stellar Blade put in a small side quest that had a pretty fun math puzzle to figure out. If you're gonna put in puzzles make them fun and let the player figure it out, otherwise follow DMC 5 and don't put em in at all.
Not really surprising when you have Horizon Forbidden West and GoW Ragnarok treating you like you're 5 years old by giving you the answer to a puzzle in less than 30 seconds.
Order 1886 has shown us graphics arent everything, not gonna bother to play a 5 to6 hour game that has weak as hell combat and mostly cinematic walking lol.

@glennthefrog Exactly, they just need to slim her jawline down some more. I don't know why they thought THAT was the look to go for.

It looks promising so far but God damn they messed up Angela's face so hard.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Gets First Gameplay, Looks Like the Evolution of World
@Enuo It is Monster Hunter, an in depth story is not its thing. It's all about hunting down monsters.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Gets First Gameplay, Looks Like the Evolution of World
@DennisReynolds Combat and graphics looked great to me, but is it actually going open world? It just doesn't sound like it is from what I'm hearing.

Re: Stellar Blade Sequel Is Under Serious Consideration as Dev Eyes AAA Franchise Success

@twitchtvpat Because it's people like that for why Ubisoft and Activision keep getting away with predatory practices.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reveal Trailer Is Already the Most Disliked in Series History
