@darkswabber From what I have read, the idea is that you are on a night shift, tasked to keep the diner tidy all while those spirits terrorize the place. Is a good concept but the execution is rather weak. It's mostly trial and error, and it's barely even scary. It's like it's trying to be like FNAF, but fails to understand what made that game successful.
Regardless though, it's a lot better than the dev's previous game, that's for sure.
Kinda expected to be honest. Though I've seen much worse MTX practices. I guess it's nice for people who don't have enough time to grind. I get that it looks scummy but it's Ubisoft, what did ya'll expect lol
Honestly, atleast it's not as bad as locking necessary content through a paywall (not referring to standard DLC). Now THAT'S something to complain about. Like that battle royale game Don't Even Think where the devs thought it was a good idea to lock a new were class and a drone weapon through a paywall. Few months later and the game died. No longer available on the PS Store. I guess that what happens when you actually force the players to pay money just to get good or have fun.
According to them, while they don't have control over franchises like Gravity Rush and Siren, they still wouldn't mind collaborating again with Sony if it's to work on these series again or for a new IP.
@get2sammyb Agreed, though try telling that to those from r/demonssouls. So many posts there criticizing some of the changes, from the biggest (certain boss themes) to even the smallest (characters having grunt sounds). I understand where they are coming from but man, even if the remake does something that's as good, if not better than the original, people there will still find a way to complain about it.
Had to take a break from visiting that site. Reminds me of the time Dark Souls 2 got released and gained a lot of nitpicks from the fans.
@TG16_IS_BAE The reviewer did acknowledge the music and called it good but not as good as the original's. Personally, some of the tracks like Flamelurker and Astrea I actually kinda like, but then you would have something like Phalanx's theme where it lacks the memorable rhythm it had before.
What I would personally love to see Buepoint do is adding the original soundtrack as an option for those who prefers the classic rendition. If their SotC remake managed to keep the original music, then I don't think it's impossible for them to do the same for DeS.
My guess the one percent of games that won't be played are those that were removed and can no longer be found (Speakeasy, Solbrein, Wander, Afro Samurai 2, etc.), and possibly online only games that got their servers shut down (Don't even think, Genesis, Paragon, Tomorrow Children, etc.)
What I would like to see if Sony could make their own Elder Scrolls/Fallout equivalent IPs. Like how about a fantasy game open world RPG based on Ghost of Tsushima Legends' take on japanese folklore.
Or maybe an open world rpg spinoff of Horizon Zero dawm where we can create our own characters and it could take in different regions around the world? Just think of fighting a loch ness monster robot in Scotland, or a dragon-like robot in Japan or China. That would be sick imo.
Finally. Was disappointed with chinajoy 2020 and was worried that we won't get anything new about China Hero this year.
Honestly, I just want to know whatever the heck happened with Pervader. It's the only VR game from China Hero that hasn't been released yet and last we heard anything new about it was back in 2018.
Really excited for this. The only other theme park based game I have ever played before was Thrillville 2 on the Wii which, even to this day, remains as one of my favorite Wii games, flaws and all.
A shame it didn't get made into the game. The ability of summoning cops into the battlefield is cool but it really makes you wonder how it would look in certain situations like the Doc Ock boss fight.
@ralphdibny @MFTWrecks Oh, I see. I guess I was mistaken. My bad. Kinda always thought that Cap was mostly a brawler-kind of guy, with his shield being his choice of weapon.
For what it is, I think the game actually shows promise. Although from what I have heard, they gave Captain America a gun, which was not a good idea, so I can understand why some were glad that the game was cancelled.
Still, from my perspective, it looks like it could have been fun.
A shame that this is the final free update but no game can last forever. Although, I do wonder if they have paid content in mind but who knows. Maybe they're preparing for a new Monster Hunter game for PS5 and XBSeries?
It's really notslagic seeing this game being revived to newer consoles. Really underappreciated and it's definitely what I would call "Fable 3 done right".
Wished the game was as good as the trailer. Wish the best for those who enjoyed the beta but for me, I'd probably get it once it's on a sale or once it's on a better state.
Not gonna lie, this looks good. Like, WAY too good. It's like Monkey King Hero is Back but more mature and, hopefully, much better. I might even call this game the true Wu Kong game.
I wanna say that I'm kinda tired seeing another Wukong game but this one looks very promising. Plus, judging by the title, if this game ends up being successful, we might get new installments based on chinese myths.
The best we can hope is for the developers to address these issues. Still looks like a fun game with friends but with a heavy Destiny-based loot, no interactions between characters outside of main missions and repetitive side objectives, I can't help but feel like this game would've been better as an F2P title.
@3MonthBeef I mean, I do like her design and considering how Tencent is, I'm not surprised that they chose her. Just surprised that they added a character from a chinese moba game not many people know about. Then again, they also added Warden from a game that the japanese audience don't know about, so I guess that answers that lol.
I still think calling them console launch exclusive was a dumb decision imo. It's like nintendo calling that Pokemon moba game "free-to-start". Why not just call it free to play?

Re: Rejoice! Joe's Diner Has Gotten a PS5 Patch
Kinda forgot about this game lol Last time I heard about it was a promise of an Xbox One port, which hasn't happened yet strangely enough.
Regardless, kudos for the devs not forgetting their game. I wonder what they're up to now.

Re: Bang Average Shooter Terminator: Resistance Getting a PS5 Version, Free Upgrade for PS4 Players
Despite its flaws, it's probably one of the better licensed games out there, and I'm glad it'll be receiving improvements over next gen.

Re: Gallery: Destruction AllStars Detonates Four PS5 Screenshots
Still interested on playing the game but I'm really not a fan of the $70 price tag. Maybe $50 or $40 would have been fine but that's just my take.

Re: Samurai Shodown's Next DLC Character Is Free

Re: Samurai Shodown's Next DLC Character Is Free
Apparently, she's from a Tencent china-only moba game called Honor of Kings, who later received an international version known as Arena of Valor.
Kinda strange that they chose an HoK character and not one from AoV since the latter is more popular. I guess Gongsun Li is Tencent's favorite girl.
Re: Mini Review: Fairy Tail - Faithful Anime Adaptation Is a Fan Pleaser

Re: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Will Probably Come to PS5, Eventually
