@BAMozzy "At least you don't really get campers..." No you just get spawn campers the lowest of the low. I understand why those maps are always included and if people like them then have at it but I prefer mid to large maps but outside of warzone and invasion there are not really any large maps..well not what I consider large anyway.
Nuketown and shipment..the worst maps in the cod franchise and they just keep churning it out. I miss the days of ghost recon Island thunder where the gameplay was tense and tactical. MW is great as an arcade shooter but it's nowhere near as good as what ghost recon used to be.
@nomither6 I agree. There are plenty of other genres but the looter shooter seems to make up the majority of them. I love path of exile and warframe but I've gotten a bit fed up of the shooters. Warzone was brilliant when it first launched but they have ruined it and I just can't get back into it.
Fair play to him if he wants to secure his sub for however long it's around for. I'm not sure I'd sink that into it myself but it's his money and he's free to use it however he wants. I hope it works out how he's expecting it to.
@Moj500 really? That's your take is it? Nintendo is not just for kids as they have a lot of games that are aimed at a more mature audience. Telling @LifeGirl to grow up over their opinion is childish in its own way.
@Titntin I always read the reviews of games but I always read the comments from the actual gamers (the ones that like the type of game being reviewed) as their opinions are more valid to me than a reviewer who dosnt really like rpg's but had to review it..they won't get it the same way rpg fans would.
@Titntin I too was hoping this would turn out to be good. I've enjoyed all the dragon age games thus far so I'll be getting this at some point down the line. I've just lost my life to vampire survivors which is just superb and I know you like couch co-op so you should have a butchers at that one 👍
@HonestHick I'm around level 48 on hard. I bought the expansion when it launched but I haven't had too much time to get really stuck in. I'm off this week so I intend to give it a good going over.
@KingPev @HonestHick it's bloody good. The spirit born class is really good and I've gone full centipede build. Unfortunately vampire survivors is my weekend game I think as I just can't put it down..check it out 👍
Diablo 4 as vessel of hatred is brilliant and I also bought vampire survivors for £3.20 and it's the best £3.20 I've ever spent..at first I thought it was crap but I can't put the bloody thing down..have a great weekend everybody 👍
@AdamNovice exactly and the 3d audio works just fine with my pulse headset. I really like my pulse headset and I've not yet tried a set that offer up the same level of fidelity for under £100.
@knowles2 @Ainu20 these are genres I think naughty dog could excell at making. A full on fantasy dragons dogma style scenario or some kind of mass effect space opera. I've been wanting another uncharted game but I'm happy for them to move on but I just think they will only bring more TLOU to the table. What they've done with TLOU franchise is both brilliant (even though I'm not a fan) and depressing with the constant remaster/remake and charging full price for each iteration. I'd like something fresh from them.
@TechaNinja that's not what @Matroska is saying at all. It's stating the obvious that the ps5 whilst a very good console just isn't up to certain things with some games. Sometimes it's not just down to optimisation and if the horse power isn't there it's not possible.
@KundaliniRising333 I loved the game and it's one I intend to revisit again as soon as I have cleared my backlog of games I've started but never finished. I think I'm nearing the end of wukong and I've got the HZD remaster waiting in the wings too. I'll be interested to see where the sequel to lies takes us next.
How long did you play the game for? I've always found with these type of games they take a long,long time to start to really open up. The review was informative but I'm just wondering how long it took you to get really going?
@KundaliniRising333 agreed. I don't understand why pushsquare insist on pushing false information surrounding this game. The visuals in performance mode were very clear and sharp and ran flawlessly. Quality mode kept a constant 30fps,looked awesome and the frame pacing was great and not juddery as claimed here. Its things like this that put people off great games but at least the gamers that have played the game such as yourself and me are at hand to call out these false claims.
I played the game using performance mode and it is so damn smooth. I also played using the quality mode just to see how good it looked (and it does look superb) however where was the juddery frame pacing? I'm sure pushsquare just love to be controversial for the sake of it sometimes. In the last article about lies of p the visuals in performance mode were described as muddy. Lies of pushsquare abound.
Polyphia? Heavy metal slammers? I like polyphia quite a lot but they are really the odd pick out of those named. They are more prog rock and hardly the soundtrack to the apocalypse. I'd prefer some entombed,sepultura,slayer and a bit of mayhem.
@KundaliniRising333 actually I'm quite hyped for the HZD remaster. If it was gouging my bank account to the same extreme as naughty dog have attempted I would have been turned right off but a complete remaster for £10/$10 is a pretty good deal for me. I'm expecting that when naughty dog say more player choices it's either TLOU open world or multi tier pricing structures hence "more player choices."
Judging by most ps5 owners comments in other posts they were all going to pc in the future..I guess after they have all played silent hill on the ps5 first.
@Vivisapprentice I would imagine launching on the ps plus extra tier didn't help sales either. I was interested in the title but after reading the review and the unresponsive control issues helped make my mind up for me and it was a no brainer being an extra subber.
@awp69 sweet. I'm glad that xbox owners will get to play this as well. Let's see how the series s handles it as I have a feeling that was the problem leading to the delay in launching on the xbox platforms.
Are pushsquare going to mention the supposed exclusivity deal every time there is a wukong article? There is no proof this was ever a thing so please stop mentioning it as its just getting a bit tiresome now (this is constructive criticism.) On a plus note this is good news for the physical collectors out there even though the tinternet will have us believe we are a dying breed. Its a top notch game (not really a souls like) and looks and plays amazingly well. Initial reviews had it pegged as a "boss rush" game but that couldn't be further from the truth as its incredibly deep. The story and cast are bonkers but it's such an awesome experience and I'm glad that the non adopters of digital will finally get a chance to appreciate this Stirling first effort from gamescience. I can't wait to see what they produce next.
Was a pretty looking game but it just wasn't good enough to sell. Sad to hear about another dev on the ropes but you just can't keep putting out mediocre titles and hoping the blind faithful will purchase them.
@HonestHick so what? Does it mean I won't be able to play sonys big games if they are on PC day 1 or a bit later down the road? It has zero impact on me or the ps players that are not interested in gaming on a PC. I see your point and I'm not disrespecting you but it's irrelevant to be honest.
Oh no another ps5 game being ported to the PC. Whatever will I do? How will I manage? Who cares? Why is it so bad that pc gamers get to play a game you've already been playing? Do pc gamers complain when the games they have been playing get ported to the consoles? I understand its not been out for a year yet but really get a grip people as there are much bigger issues to be worried about. I'm personally having night terrors that season 3 of gangs of london may be the last entry..
@RiverGenie thanks for the info as I didn't know if poe had couch co-op but I knew everything else you mentioned being a hard core diablo fan since the first game launched. I love them and it's my fave genre along side the souls games.
@Titntin path of exile is a really good alternative to diablo. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the crafting as its a bit convoluted and confusing. Considering it's a free to play title the updates and free content is immense. Not sure if it has couch co-op though but it's still well worth a butchers.
@Titntin I was under the impression from a conversation a while back that you were boycotting this game. I'm glad you changed your mind even if you don't enjoy d4 that much but I was taken aback a bit that you bought it.
@Titntin I don't know if you've played d4 since the latest update but it's a he'll of a lot better than it was at launch. I'm approaching 300 hours and whilst the campaign is mediocre I'm having a blast in the dungeons. The torment levels are mental but I have to concede that it's not for everybody. I enjoyed d3 and I really like d2 as I think that had the best story out of all of them. Have you tried path of exile?
I've bought the expansion but I've not jumped into it as a mate from work just bought d4 and the expansion so I'm playing through the main story and then we will jump into the expansion..so much has changed and for the better too. Awesome game.
Well seeing as I'm a total souls type game aficionado and can't get enough of them I'll always read these articles. What gets me is the amount of people who don't like these games or are getting bored of them clicking on the article to read just so they can tell the world how much disdain they have stored up. Everybody's entitled to their opinion but I just don't understand why you bother to take the time to read and comment about something you know you are not going to be into. I'd rather read comments from the gamers that these type of games are aimed at. I've liked the look of this from the first reveal and I'll be buying it in all likelihood. Bring on more of these arpg's as they are my cuppa.
£10 for this is a bargain. This is no "cash grab" in any sense. If it was the same price as most pointless remasters then "cash grab" would be apt..this is how remasters should be priced.
@LowDefAl @LavenderShroud @DennisReynolds I just need to add that I'm finding it ironic that people complaining about the 2 main characters are usually the people complaining about the lack of DEI in games...
