@naruball Something that is clearly meant to be emulating an older style like 8/16 Bit games or games with a highly stylized art style aren't the same as a game that's going for "realistic" graphics and looks like a game from 15 years ago.

I own the PS4 version and I've struggled to get into it after BG3 but that's mainly down to me not giving it the time it deserves to properly get into it. Definitely happy to pick up the PS5 version

Imagine if people just focused more on what they like instead of what they don't like.

This usually wouldn't be my type of game but because of who's behind it I'm definitely willing to give it a go once it goes on sale.

Honestly more than anything the omni-movement is what puts me off this game. It looks designed for sweats and I feel like it's hard to just jump on CoD after work now without people diving and sliding everywhere wearing a paid for Nicki Minaj skin. CoD hasn't felt liked CoD in a long time. I get that it's known for arcade style gameplay rather than military simulation but please, I beg, some immersion at least.

@ShogunRok dissapointing. Not that it's a big deciding factor in whether I buy a game but I do like when games treat you like an adult and don't shy away from that type of thing especially when the game is already rated 18 as it is.

Thank you for your detailed reply as well.

@ShogunRok I'll just come out and ask. Does Veilguard have full/customizable nudity in a similar vein as Baldur's Gate 3 and if not then what are we looking at.

@Yusuo Not all games have to teach you something. Sometimes a game just being fun is enough. It doesn't need to be constructive in some manner.

oh this is definitely a buy

Hate to be THAT guy but this honestly looks like a PS3 game, and I'm saying that as someone who is honestly more about art style than super realistic graphics but when a game launching in 2024 looks this bad it's very off-putting, to me at least.

Semper Servientes

@Yagami Agreed I think China and South Korea also fall under that idea. The best way I can sum it up is: it's ok to have games with more realistic female characters where the focus is on their character and their story, like Ellie in TLOU, and it's ok to have female characters like Eve in Stellar Blade or Quiet in MGSV that cater to the male fantasy fanservice crowd. Both are ok and both can co-exist

At the risk of sounding like a complete weeb - I feel like the Japanese aren't afraid to create beautiful/sexy things and we in the West, to an extent, are.

Have they fixed some conversations with Sam & Henry not triggering making it impossible to platinum the game for some people. The one trophy I need for the platinum is all conversations and I can't get it due to this glitch. And I've reloaded the level dozens of times and tried doing different things but nothing works,.

@TheLotteryMan1 DLC has been confirmed for a while now

yes yes very good but DLC WHEN

I know we'll never get the full breadth of mods that PC players get, but I hope Larian are quite liberal with what mods they allow on consoles and don't take ages to drip feed a small amount of mods to us like most other studios that allow consoles mods do.

I'll be happy with a lot of new cosmetics and hopefully some new playable races on console (been wanting to play as a Goblin since day 1) and being able to play as other characters like Jaheira or Minthara as an origin character would be amazing and I know these mods exist on PC already so hopefully it doesn't take too much to get them working on console.

The idea of people being able to use the mod tools to create entire new areas, campaigns and characters for possibly decades to come is a truly exciting prospect and hopefully something we can experience on console. I know we'll never be able to create mods on console but I do hope they're able to bring a lot of the PC mods over at the launch of patch 7 on console. Hopefully one for a photo mode before they release it officially as I know they have planned.

Gives me Fall Guys vibes. If it's free to play I'll give it a go.

Looks cool. Would probably buy this on Switch tho. Looks made for handheld.

yeah but DLC WHEN. Can't wait for the DLC and the sequel. Can't wait to see their take on the wizard of oz.

cyberpunk meets max payne?

Parasyte: The Maxim vibes

Look can we run around butt nekkid like in Baldur's Gate 3 that's what I want to know. Because it's an essential part of a modern RPG to be able to do a nudist playthrough. It just is.

my top 10 roguelike list would just be Hades 10 times tbh

Glad this is finally getting a playstation port

This is amazing news they're a great studio and hopefully this means we might one day get The Evil Within 3

This is one of the few times I've myself disagreeing with a Push Square review. I'd say a 7 is very harsh considering it improves on the first game in pretty much every way. The first game, although I liked it, felt like Resident Evil 4 part 2m whereas this game has more of its own identity, and I would say seems inspired by TLOU and Silent Hill. The graphics are fantastic which I didn't expect and the new sem-open world structure definitely works in its favour.

We better be able to get Salamander armour for co0op and PvP!

Many will try to replicate it but much like The Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild it's truly one of those once in a generation type games that many developers will try and fail to emulate. We might get some half decent clones, but I don't think we'll see anything close to BG3 for a lot of years.

"Blood magic isn't something a hero should use" well isn't that kind of moral freedom one of the main foundations of any RPG?

The industry is an absolute mess right now. I honestly think we're in the middle of another video game crash like in '83

recently passed 600+ hours making it my most played game of all time. And also my favourite game of all time. Now just give us some way of romancing Jaheira and a recruitable/romanceable Alfira pls.

These pop culture tie in cook books are the best worst type of cash grab imaginable. Even a half competent cook could come up with a decent recipe based on an IP

I honestly think this is just in response to Larian offering full nudity in Baldur's Gate 3. Yes DA games have always had nudity and sex in them but I don't think they would have allowed DA to have full nudity in the character creator creator if Larian didn't do it first (Yes I know technically CDPR did it with Cyberpunk but you'd never actually see this replicated in the gameplay meaning it felt largely pointless). I'm looking forward to this game but it's clearly another sign that they're out of good ideas at this point and are just following RPG leaders trying to replicate what makes them great

Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, The Evil Within, Vanquish, Devil May Cry just to name a few of his creations. Games wouldn't be what they are today without this Man.

So happy this is finally getting a release. I very rarely buy games day one anymore unless I'm really looking forward to them. This will be day one for me. A shame more people don't seem to be talking about it.

I have never heard a valid criticism of TLOU Part 2. Not one. Would love to see TLOU Part 3 with a story that focuses on Abby & Lev.

@thefourfoldroot1 Why would a Japanese company ban Japanese content? not doubting you I'm just genuniely curious as to why

And obviously they had to pick the cutest kid imaginable to play Sam didn't they. It made it so much harder to watch knowing what was going to happen.

I have to say, this is the episode that Bella truly won me over as Ellie. An absolutely fantastic performance all around and brilliant casting in general. I thought the choice to make Sam deaf was an excellent decision that worked really well and yet another addition that works amazing in the show but never would have worked in the game.

I think to truly get these most out of this game you need to do a lot of playthroughs with each of the classes. If you're going to just do one playthrough to see the story and then not return to it there isn't a great deal of value in it.

"Narrative changes" directly translates to "We're killing off Tifa instead of Aerith"

Sounds great to me. Better than being locked in to your choices. Games with skill trees should always let you respec easily. More interesting than the traditional route anyway.

Considering her time in the game is relatively short she leaves such a lasting impression. I've played The Last of Us countless times and usually the openings of games can get a bit boring, but Tess is such a great character and is played so well that it never gets boring. A great legacy to leave behind.

This actually looks interesting.

Unfortunately I detest furrys so I wont be going anywhere near this game.

@ItsBritneyB_tch I personally thought she should have used a grenade as well but with them wanting to implement "the kiss" I can see why they didn't. I disagree that the game handled that scene better though. To me having a horde of infected rush the building and then blowing up is a better finale than just some FEDRA soldiers showing up.

I thought the first half of the episode went a bit slow but the second half was incredible.

When they finally revealed the Clickers it was excellent, not with a predictable jumpscare, but by showing them blindly shambling into the room as they would in the game. They didn't rush that scene either and took their time to truly show the clickers off. I'd even say the finale of the episode improved on the game. Having a horde of infected storm the capital is more exciting than FEDRA soldiers turning up. I think having Neil so heavily involved really helps, it keeps everything great about the game but amps it up and even improves on it in some places.

Really can't wait for this. Looks like such a fresh take on the story of Pinocchio and the world design looks great as well.

SPOILERS
I thought it was fantastic. The opening was amazing. I loved the scientist explaining how the Cordyceps works in such a clear way that anybody who hasn't played the games could understand it.

The opening was amazing and I think even improved the opening of the game in some ways. The planes falling out of the sky was a particularly great touch. I do think the choice to leave the spores out is a bit odd but hopefully it'll make sense in the long run. Even my GF and MIL thought it was great and they don't know anything about the games.

@jrt87 and rightly so because Rings of Power was fantastic.

Can't wait for this. I'm going to reserve my own judgment until I've seen it myself but if these are anything to go off then we're in for a treat.
