@Bliquid Check out this article, if you have the mood and the time. It explains a lot better than I ever could why exactly DSII is the worst of the Souls games.

@Bliquid ah, sorry. Didn't know you hadn't finished it. I'll shut up.

@Bliquid git gud has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. The dungeon design sucks. Corridors and square empty rooms again and again and again. Elevators taking you upwards to a locale that cannot be there geographically. Zombies, skeletons, zombies, hollows, zombies, knights, zombies, hollows.

@Bliquid no. It's not. It's just good. It has the least interesting bestiary, the most non-sensible dungeon design and a few pretty lousy hitboxes when compared to other Souls games. It's not terrible (it's far better than lords of the fallen) but it's certainly not awesome.

I hope it's fake. I already have Dark Souls II.

@Gamer83 hope remake2 will deliver as well.

@FoxyGlen my main concern was that if you had to be always online, the game immediately has an expiration date tied to its servers' longevity (ala destiny). Glad to know this isn't the case.

So there's no offline mode? I always have to stay connected?

@AFCC Even with mods.

But that's part of the charm, no?

That opening movie was the reason I got a PSX. Turned out to be a great investment when I later player the games that mattered.

Resident Evil 1&2, Castlevania SotN, Marvel Super Heroes, Tekken 2, Soul Blade, Final Fantasy VII, Parasite Eve and dozen more great games.

But Final Bout (and Ultimate Battle 22) was the reason I got the console in the first place.

What the hell!??!

It says I don't have permission to access the content!! But I've pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition!! What the hell, BAMCO!?!?

Was intending to hold off for the real thing ... but I couldn't resist. In half an hour I'm GOOOOOOOOONE!!!

Amzing! Can't wait to give ea my money for some utterly meaningless and cosmetic purchases!

(Said no one ever)

Will the textures be of a higher resolution, or will we be playing a muddy mess?

Jaaaa ... the trilogy is cumplete. Jaaaaa ....

No Tifa no buy

@Neolit Hell, no. For me, 5 hours is too short for an action adventure AAA game. It's literally one afternoon. I want this game to take at least 30-40 hours to complete (side quests included).

(to himself) You promised, you promised, no more day one buys. Wait for GOTY editions, deals, discounts ... it ain't worth it. It ain't worth to shove 60-100 bucks for something which will eventually cost 5-20$. You promised. You promised, you pro -

(looks at Spider man logo) FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Horizon
Resident VII
Injustice 2

Oh, and 2018's are definitely going to be
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Spider-Man
Monster Hunter World
and (if it makes it this year) Resident Evil 2 Remake

@FullbringIchigo If RE 4 didn't have Leon and Ada as characters, what would've made it an RE game?

@WanderingBullet I think it was the episode end credits theme in the boo saga, back in the day.

@FuzzyYellowBalls Maybe it's because you prefer your Dragon Balls to be fuzzy and yellow?

I only hope the guest characters make sense. Star Wars was a HORRIBLE idea.

That's refreshing, considering that MGS 2 STOPPED making sense after four-five hours.

@Cassetticons It's a system seller made by an excellent dev team. I think we'll be fine.

For me, Soul Calibur VI needs to have a solid arcade ladder mode and a good chunk of unlockable lore. That was what sold me back in SC 1. Those horrible ladder modes in III and IV (where it repeated the same encounters with all characters and had a pitiful number of bouts) HAVE to stop.

.... eternally retold.

My only personal regret is that it doesn't get the treatment Odin Sphere's remaster got. More enemies, re-vamped gameplay, etc.

@Tasuki Basically he's a master at titillation and pretentious bull. I've played MGS1, 2, 4 and each game was more cringe-worthy than the last. He also somehow seems to be getting a pass for treating fictional female characters like penthouse pets when all other devs are burned because of it.

Now, we can talk Capcom.

Have a seat.

@Johnnycide Thanks for the tips!

@get2sammyb (Darth Vader voice) Where should I start, my master?

This is probably my time. To finally play this franchise and see what the fuss was all about.

@viciousarcanum Fighterz.

...

... I think.

@Rudy_Manchego It gave birth to a genre, like RE4 did. It will always be a classic and loved by many.

My worst fear is that all games will become 'free to play' but you'll have to pay a small amount for every single thing.

Imagine a God of War game where the first stage is free, but the next stage costs 5 bucks, the next power-up or item costs 50 cents, and the like. It's not gambling, because you get what you pay for, but in the end you have to fork out 300 bucks to beat a game you used to pay 40-60 bucks for.

This is a bleak future that will be all the more possible if loot boxes will become obsolete. Because when a company makes X dollars a year, it wants to make X+1 dollars a year, how-to-do-it reason be damned.

@bbq_boy I take it that response was for Tasuki, not me.

@Tasuki "Lol no I don't hae shares in Activision and yes I am a parent but it doesn't worry me. Why, because I taught my son about the risk of them and the value of money. It's just like dugs and alcohol or anything else that's bad, you teach the kid the negatives and hope that they make the right choices. Having government coming in and taking that away from us is never a good thing and that's what everyone is asking. At what point do we the parents stop being parents and the government becomes society's parents? All because people don't want to be parents themselves?"

... Did you just say that if you raise your child's awareness (the rights and wrongs) the governments shouldn't monitor and/or prohibit potentially harmful and addictive substances or practices like drugs, alcohol and gambling?

@kyleforrester87 Kyle, your comment (the one where you ask gamers if they're ok with MTs but not with gambling) was 100% gold. Loved it.

@Starbuster00 Yeah! It's almost as if ... not everyone cares about multiplayer.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!

@KratosMD But you're describing a logical and healthy way for a business to work. It's not always this. For example, did EA bother to understand why Andromeda sucked? Did they realize the problem was that they rushed the clap out the game? Or did they simply say "Well, it sold like a$$, so let's put the franchise on indefinite hiatus until people start begging for a reboot"?

Did they care about why Dead Space 3 'failed'? Did they realize why Dead Space 3 disappointed? Or did they refuse to bother once they saw sales didn't meet expectations and put the franchise on a bus?

@OGGamer If three million people would buy swbf2, but not a single one bought a loot box, what message do the consumers send?

@ShogunRok Ass Creed ... heh - I C WUAT U DID THEAR!!

"It doesn't really come as a surprise ..."

Says you.

@adf86 Yeah, but in a non-canon Spider-Man series. She even became Venom in two issues. They also have a daughter in that series and Norman Osborn (the grandson) is the big bad.

At least up to a few months ago. I'm not currently reading comics for the past 2-3 months.

Wasn't the order 1886 torn apart because it was 5 hours long?

Then again, it didn't have mp.

@get2sammyb Yeah, but Assassin's Creed is suffering from franchise fatigue. They've literally released like, twelve games in the past like, ten years? It would be the equivalent of having fifteen Dark Souls games in ten years.

That's a lot of souls for a person to take. Or need.

No. When we have multiple new or revived IPs that started off MP only but their sequels added single-player campaigns (Titanfall, Battlefront), you realize that single-player is getting more attention, rather than less.

Pity.

This game just can't - and shouldn't - catch a break.
