Wukong for me. As much as I love dragons dogma 2 I don't think it should be included in this list as its more of a rpg to be honest. Still an excellent game despite its issues but not really an action game like the others.
Another nothing of substance article.@Max_the_German "arrogant Sony?" When I read comments like this I have to ask myself why do gamers still support Sony by purchasing their products and subscribing to a PS centric Web site when they are so down on Sony? It literally makes little sense to me.
@KundaliniRising333 @themightyant I've not played morrowind for god knows how long. I remember being immersed in it for a long,long time. Yeah it's very janky by todays standards but they could easily sort that out and make it more cohesive. Sometimes I think the games that actually deserve a remake get overlooked because I'd love a remake of the original deus ex.
@AhmadSumadi right I get you. Yes that's what changed for d4. Sorry I thought you were talking about the story for some reason. So in that respect it would appear that D4 is trying to be what the original PoE is. I much prefer the PoE games but I still love diablo 2.
@AhmadSumadi "Is it faux MMO like Diablo?" This is how diablo has always been right from the start. They have not changed anything in the way the story's are presented. PoE and PoE2 are very similar to the way the story's are presented as well. I am currently playing the PoE2 beta and I personally prefer it to diablo 3 and 4 but I still think diablo 2 is the better game.
@EfYI the majority of the HD2 community are really good and a right laugh to play with. There is an element that are really horrible but I just airstrike those cretins and move on. I've always enjoyed playing with randoms and I just can't buy into the whole HD2 community is awful bollocks. It's the same with any online game in that there will always be the idiots trying to ruin the experience for everybody else. I'll never play gta online because that's the single worst experience I've ever had in an online game and call of duty is probably the 2nd most toxic environment I've subjected myself to. HD2 has an excellent community and I hope new comers realise this too.
@MasterChiefWiggum if this was an article on horizon zero dawn I'd be inclined to agree with you but it's not..its about the 2nd game and pushsquare have not really covered this one too much or the expansion.
@RogCorr really? It takes maybe an hour to a couple of hours to get enough credits. If you have a team of 4 it takes hardly anytime at all. And don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about as I've played a serious amount of HD2 with people from the pushsquare community who will also tell you that the grind is not that bad.
@ZeroSum yes the credits can be obtained through playing. You don't even need to find them yourself so long as one player finds a stash you all get them..a load of noise over nothing again.
Helldivers 2 is back on everybody's radar and still the same complaints about the mtx..its real simple folks as you can grind the ingame credits as always and then get the things you want or you can just purchase the relevant warbonds. Nobody's forcing anybody to part with real cash so I guess it all depends on how much you really need those killzone 2 outfits. I'll purchase it because I like supporting arrowhead because I love HD2 and I would like to think my paltry £7.99 or whatever it is will help further the HD2 ecosystem and keep it alive longer. Everybody has a choice here so I don't see the problem.
@Cikajovazmaj "However, Intergalactic looks like a world/story that was AI generated, soulless and stereotypical." I feel this way towards the comments section sometimes..most of the time actually.
@DennisReynolds "God the build up to this game is going to be nothing but hassle isn't it from incels and chuds." Indeed its going to be immense fun reading all the comments 🤣
@LogicStrikesAgain oh here comes the anti capitalist brigade..its a game buddy..a bloody video game and seeing as though they look like space mercs then yes they are going to be capitalist pigs of the highest order chasing the loot. I'm sure the devs will miss your money but I'm guessing you'll probably buy it anyway. People on pushsquare have done the whole capitalist and predatory micro transactions meme to death and soooo much better in the past than you..and yes I meant to use the word meme because that is what it is now..
I love wukong. I thought it was a brilliant first game for game science and despite its flaws it shows there is more to come from them. However when I read things like this it just makes me shake my head and wonder why they have to go and ruin it. Why not be happy with what you've achieved despite all the crap that was levelled at them from some rather salacious and dubious journos (epic fail people.) I didn't expect wukong to win but personally it is one of my favorite games of the year. Such a shame this guy has to get all salty.
@Shad361 people not wanting live service games is indeed false but people not wanting any old generic ***** live service games is very much true. If a live service game is done right (HD2) then the player base will thrive indefinitely. HD2 is an awesome game and one I'll be jumping back into very soon.
The floorings been delivered now finally so I'm kicking back with warhammer 40k darktide and I've dropped the hammer on PoE2 as I just wasn't a strong enough man to resist it's charms anymore..have a great weekend folks.
As much of a souls fan I am this one's not for me. A live service elden ring? No thanks and I have warhammer 40k darktide and helldivers 2 to scratch my co-op itch..I hope those that buy it enjoy the heck out of it.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare no worries. I'm playing warhammer 40k darktide whilst waiting for my new flooring to be delivered so I can start putting it down. This conversation has been a welcome distraction.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare yeah we are still getting crossed wires. I didn't mean to imply that I was getting a cyberpunk vibe through this trailer I was stating I liked the whole body modification aspect of cyberpunk and deus ex. If this game has that kind of element I'll be even more interested in it but I don't think it will.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare it didn't really make me think of akira specifically but cyberpunk did make me think of akira and bladerunner. This trailer does look cool as f**k to me personally and its the kind of genre that resonates with me. I loved the deus ex games a lot with the whole body modification thing going on. I really liked the original syndicate on the amiga but didn't really like the newer ones. I'm just hoping it's a great game and everybody enjoys it..
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare well to be honest but if you took the time to read the comment I was responding to it shouldn't have been that hard to fathom..sorry for being blunt..
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare sorry let me elaborate. When saying inspiration I meant about the Porsche imagery that max the German was bemoaning. Not so much the story or setting but more the imagery.
@Ainu20 @Dom_31 I commented the other week that I'd like naughty dog to make some kind of sci-fi action game (but less emotionally driven angsty "oh woe is me" tosh) and it looks like my prayers were answered. Sure it's going to have some kind of social theme running through it but so long as the games stellar I can live with the millennial kitsch. Oh it looks brilliant to me as well mainly because I love akira..
@Max_the_German inspiration is the word that springs to mind. Things don't have to be exactly similar do they? I much prefer when something wears its inspiration on its sleeve as it makes me notice it more and think about it more.
@ZeroSum I used to play it daily on my xbox 360 with the same group of friends. We really liked the millionaires challenge which as you know was 1 lap of the island..great fun on motorbikes but it was also a great laugh using the Sunday driver cars that were very average..great times.
Good lord I had to endure that madame Web movie because the wife wanted to watch it. Utter sh*te and I was praying for the assisted dying bill to be passed before the movie ended so I could end the pain..
I was waiting for this game for ages. I loved the first test drive unlimited back on the xbox 360. By the time the 2nd game dropped I had moved to the ps3 and didn't think much of it at all. Then this game launched and by all accounts it's utter garbage and releasing ibiza again even if it is free is not going to wow me into buying..even in a sale. Such a wasted opportunity so I guess I'm back over to the crew motorfest which is brilliant.
@RedRiot193 that's not what I'm saying though is it? I'm not arguing that it's not linear.. I'm saying it's no more linear than any other game..I never said it was open world blah,blah,blah..
