It breaks the immersion when your character suddenly looks different, so this is a great thing. I've been skeptical lately because of hype-ache but I'm getting excited again.
This is right up my alley. Come payday and I think I'll check out some indies that've been coming out lately. Layers of fear 2 should be out by then as well. Hopefully it doesn't bomb.
Not many people seem to be excited about the series but I'm one of those few. I found the second one especially good and it kept me more interested than, say, GTAV. Not perfected yet but I'm really looking forward to the upcoming instalment.
I don't think any other game has caused me so many goosebumps as Layers of fear did. I don't know, it was just so cool and frightening at the same time, albeit being more of a walking sim. Really looking forward to this!
Oh, I forgot they're not MS exclusive anymore. They used to be our national pride before all the smaller Finnish devs becoming huge. That said, it looks like it needs a lot of work still but could be fun.
@stupidget I played the shareware version of Heretic soooo much. I was always a Doom guy (pun totally intended) but Heretic was really nice and different at the time.
All in all, this era was awesome and this is unexpected but kind of cool.
Maybe it's not for everyone but I think Watch Dogs 2 is one of the most underrated games of recent times. It was a blast. Enjoyed it way more than GTAV for example.
"Asylum" is probably the most generic title for a game like this. That out of the way, I remember being quite into the first (?) one back in my pc gaming days. Good stuff with awesome art direction and unique effects and atmosphere.
No, seriously, the movies aren't THAT bad but hardly resemble the RE universe apart from the CGI ones. A series could work but it has to be something that lasts. I mean, there's not that much to work with if they choose to follow the (I love the series but let's be honest here) awful storylines of the games.
The thematics appeal to me but I too get overwhelmed with all the choices. The same reason I never play chess: I know there is a perfect move to be made but it can take me an infinite time to figure it out so I just go with a seemingly random choice.
Maybe I will check this out or maybe not. We'll see.
Downloaded but haven't had the time to play it yet. I'm only interested in checking out the controls and graphics and really get to it once the full game is out.
RE2 is the only must-have to be honest. Metro Exodus I'm keeping eye on. It's just the overly linear gameplay of the series that kind of puts me off. The monster designs aren't too thrilling either.
Days Gone should've released some years ago to truly excite me. Far Cry I will check out.
Great game. Had some frustrating moments but overall 10-/10. The Last Guardian on the other hand... Couldn't make myself continue after some cumbersome hours. Awful controls, god-awful camera and the relationship between the useless main character and the beast just didn't appeal to me at all. I have a clumsy cat IRL.
Yeah, I kinda figured this out all by myself the second I booted my PS4 the first time. I'm smart that way. No seriously, I never play without my headphones unless I'm just checking something out or using the store or whatevs.
Oh, I just remembered the Mario Kart Mercedes endorsement. Didn't download the free cars and it kinda made me sick to see that stuff appear out of nowhere. In some games it can add some realism even but mostly I'm against this kind of stuff. If I want to see ads I download pretty much any game from Google Play. Paid games should NEVER have ads. Even promoting your own add-ons like the Horizon DLC on the title screen somewhat breaks the immersion.
I didn't finish JC3 although it was really fun until it wasn't anymore. Just causing mayhem is a lot of fun but when you're forced to do it over and over again to proceed with the story it kinda gets old. And the world was soooo big that it sort of worked against itself. Nice couple of hours and then I never touched it again unfortunately. Spend more time with Mad Max though which I assume has the exact same game engine.
I'm still blown away if a game can do solid 60 on 1080 so this seems pretty far away. I personally prefer great art direction and effects over resolution. Also textures are sometimes forcefully degraded when they pursue better fps. I think it's almost stupid to raise the resolution at this point when there's still so much to work on other departments.
Isolation was so very very good that I can't be but excited about the future of the franchise. A shooter sounds worrying but we'll see. If it's as classy and true to canon as Isolation was it might be great. Maybe they're going for something like the first two movies were, first a sci-fi horror and then equally great sci-fi action with horror-ish vibe.
There has been great stories of salvaging a mess of a game but I'm not sure this is worth the struggle. It's like a roadkill, not sure if it's still alive or not but it'll die out eventually on its own and life continues elsewhere. Still feels bad though.
Being mainly disappointed and bored with most games lately, I finally gave GTA V a go. Seems fine, maybe I'll stick to it for a while and search for other options to suit my taste.
Ok, sounds better than expected. Unfortunately I don't have VR. I'm mostly worried that my launch version hardware can't handle it or delivers a lacking experience.
I can understand this to an extent, but was the "leak" equal to one million in lost sales or something. I mean, there gotta be some reasoning in the court for this :/
Even as a horror fan the Lovecraftian legacy doesn't appeal to me too much. On the other hand, I've already played most horror-ish games and 6/10 is not a negative review to me for a game like this. Probably gonna check it out, at least when the price comes down. Like, way down.
By the way, did you guys review that one game, "Hanwell"... something, I think? I'd like to know if that's a proper game or just some Unity assets someone put together.
I like steelbooks but I don't have the room for that kind of stuff anymore. Already have hundreds of cds and blu-ray movies and I don't know what to do with them since I stream almost everything nowadays Looking forward to the actual game though.
SOMA is also discounted and I definitely suggest that one. Not pure horror but it has a great atmosphere and nice (if not that original) thematics if you're into sci-fi.
Most horror games I have played already but I guess I'll give Amnesia bundle a go at that price.
I sort of have a time limit for being stuck. When it starts to feel like I'm wasting my precious time I look it up, as specifically as I can to minimise the effect of "cheating". It rarely happens and it makes me feel slightly disappointed with myself. It's quite common that I was on the right track and maybe even tried the correct thing but something just went wrong. Nowadays I'm not too hard on myself though.
I'm so happy I'm not interested in this game at all. It's probably going to be painful considering how buggy Fallout games usually are. Now with multiplayer implemented... oh dear.
Mine isn't the worst by any means. I gave it some thought but I don't like it having my real name, sort of. I have a perfect name in mind and I'm pretty sure it's available since it has an unusual combination of letters.
Reeeeeally looking forward to this. Their engine is a beast and the original game is a classic I haven't played. It's been a while since I bought something day one but this could break that silence.
@get2sammyb FIFA is kind of popular too but people don't go crazy over it like they do with NHL. Hockey is the big thing here, the country being in the north and all.

Re: Life Is Strange 2's Latest Episode Has a New Trailer
I'll wait for the whole package. I don't mind episodic structure but I can't see myself waiting for the next one while playing something else.
Re: Layers of Fear 2 Raises the Tension on PS4 in May
I don't think any other game has caused me so many goosebumps as Layers of fear did. I don't know, it was just so cool and frightening at the same time, albeit being more of a walking sim. Really looking forward to this!
Re: Days Gone - Open World Comfort Food with a Survival Horror Spin
For some reason I usually have fun with mediocre open-worldies so I'm gonna check this out once the price is down.
Re: All Clues Point to a London Setting for Watch Dogs 3
W_D1 was good, the second one was great and I'm really looking forward to the third one.
Re: Days Gone Looks Like Another Achievable PS4 Platinum Trophy
I wish there were more of those 75-90% collectibles trophies. Especially if they're missable or otherwise borderline impossible to achieve 100%.
Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Release Date Set for 2019 According to Studio Leak
Now that RE2 remake is out this is officially my most wanted game. Even if it's a solid 8/10 I will probably love it for the thematics.

Re: New Layers of Fear 2 Trailer Blends Cinematic Styles with Psychological Scares
Yes! Loved the first one. Observer was great as well but wasn't as cohesive as I wanted it to be. Hopes up.

Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS4 Game of 2019?

Low resolution! Ads! Pay to win! It's 2019, guys!
Seriously, quite disappointed.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 250
