Well, your review was quite harsh 😏 Observer was good and quite disturbing. Some problems too, I give you that. As a fan of Blade Runner, Videodrome and that kind of stuff I really enjoyed it. Some frustrating sections but I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
Dying light was so great and I hope they improve the mechanics even further. Looking forward to it for sure. So entertaining to mess with a bunch of zombies, setting them on fire and impaling them with environmental traps.
The "5" really compliments the "PS", reminding us of the very core of human existence: aging and evolving, while still cherishing the new generation. The past, present and future existing in the same endless whirlpool, only to be seen chronologically by the subjective view of the human collective.
Oh wow, that's one sad list right there. There's a huge group of people that only play sports and COD. They're not on these sites and they don't follow the gaming news in general. I once bought an X360 from a guy who said he haven't played anything apart from NHL. The reason he sold the console was that he just got a brand new PS4. To play a more recent NHL, of course.
I should broaden my set of VR games maybe. I've mostly played horror and sci-fi offerings from the store. It seems all these games are still unplayed by me. I must admit VR is kind of a hassle in our small apartment and I don't pick it up too often. I enjoy it every time I do, though.
Their naming policy is Rambo-level confusing. Kinda sad the Hellblade situation. I can't see myself jumping on the Microsoft boat anymore and PC is even more unlikely to me. Oh well.
@nessisonett I must admit the three playthroughs started to feel a bit of a chore but the final minutes really paid off. And no, I wasn't crying. I just got a Nier in my eye.
Looks very 2003. Not the prettiest thing around but the final product will probably look a lot different.
Now that I think of it, I can't recall one home console in the history of gaming that actually looked nice. All the PS4 iterations look just OK because they're very low-key. Switch is probably my recent favorite for the same reason.
I'll consider a game lengthy when it surpasses 20 hours. For an RPG anything less seems quite short. 30-40 hours is definitely enough for the main story with some extras. Mass effect did amazing things with fairly short games though. Sometimes a game becomes a daily routine and you just keep playing. Can't remember the last time that happened. Probably with Xenoblade Chronicles X with almost 200 hours in when I finally let go of it.
I finished Pro Skater 2 sooo many times. Over and over again. At the time it was pretty much my only source of skateboarding videos. First some blurry Rodney Mullen awesomeness and then went outside to do my "break ankles and be disappointed" routine. Good times.
I remember enjoying the New Vegas DLC even with the flaws included. I can't see them losing money by releasing some new content. I'm tempted to wait for the GOTY/Complete edition though if they choose that way.
I've had the pleasure of playing a handful of games during the last 30 years that I would rate 10/10. I've never played a game I would give a big round zero. But yeah, the user score on Metacritic is a joke anyways.
If only the imagination of developers would be on par with technology. I'm not easily astonished these days and gaming has become quite stagnant unfortunately. Hopefully the future is bright.
I'm couple of hours in and I'm not sure but I think there's also this "out of breath" thing. The character was having a conversation and I happened to be climbing a tall ladder at the time and it affected his voice.
Hopefully they're at least honest about it and include a warning that says "try the forced single player mode and suffer". Seriously, RE5 was one disappointing experience. Can't even remember if I finished it. Capcom has some kind of co-op obsession with RE and it makes me sick.
I love simple layouts where traversing between areas is a breeze. On the other hand I love exploring confined spaces. Hopefully this will tick both those boxes. That open world "only one hard-to-find entrance to this huge area" nonsense always gets on my nerves
I'm seriously afraid this game will actually be too artistic and out there for most people. I mean, they get all excited when things don't make sense but in the end most people want traditional things. The game has potential to be the biggest bomb of recent years.
I think the city would suit the cover better. It could include both male and female characters as vague outlines, looking at the city or something. Not a big deal, will buy anyways.
If only they had some games that interest me in the slightest. The price is not bad but I can't come up with one game that would justify another subscription. Not this generation, EA.
Maybe this comment is pure marketing tactics but it works for me. I can't see myself getting PS5 anytime soon after it launches so I'm happy if we get a smoothly running and nice looking version for PS4.
I like a single protagonist and feel torn whenever I'm forced to play with multiple characters. This could work though, not sure. I think they're going for some kind of collective thing. That's been a theme throughout the series.
The semi-open structure of the second one was a nice touch and the series does have the atmosphere right. Looking forward to the possibility of a third one.

Also Remothered was great.
Re: Poll: What PS5 Box Design Should Sony Adopt?
Something that used as little plastic as possible would be my choice, but that's not really what you asked here.
I think the white one would be a nice change of pace but not sure if it's "PS" enough. Don't really care tbh as I rarely buy physical these days.

No seriously, it's boring as ****.

The first one was great if not a little old school. Surprisingly shocking even. Defo gonna check the sequel.

Re: Twin Stick Shooter West of Dead Brings Purgatory to PS4 in 2020

Re: It's All Over: The X Button Is Officially Pronounced 'Cross'
I call it X but of course I've always known they're all symbols: a pyramid, a planet and a window.
Re: Square Enix Showcases PS5's Possibilities with Tech Demo
Well, it's okay. Nowadays I mostly consider cutscenes as glorified loading screens and the actual gameplay is where the magic happens.
Re: New Resident Evil Game Looks Like a Co-Op Spin-Off

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Designed to Be as Inclusive as Possible, Character Creation Doesn't Require a Gender
I find androgynous characters most appealing anyways so this is good news and suits the game.

Not much to speculate on but I get some sci-fi and horror vibe from it.
Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Patch Notes Are Truly Gigantic and Game-Changing

Re: The Outer Worlds Previews Say It's Basically Fallout: New Vegas in Space and It's Great
Loved New Vegas. I also don't wanna be murdering people all the time so sounds good to me!
Re: Is the Blair Witch Game Coming to PS4?
I can't believe I'm just watching Blair Witch Project as I hear about this game.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Summer Gaming Habits?
I work outside so I have no need to spend my free time outside. No vacations either so I'm just gaming when I get the chance.
Re: Death Stranding's Official PS4 Boxart Has Been Revealed
The steelbook version looks way more balanced but I'm not sure what's going on with Norman's face. Is that dirt, camoflage or what..?
Re: Gallery: We Made PlayStation Characters Look Old with FaceApp So You Don't Have To
Kratos looks like the ultimate "get off my lawn" guy while Aloy looks like an old hippie gal who later settled down and grows her own special herbs.
