@TruestoryYep I'd belive that, Rise has outstanding combat, styles, weapons etc. And nice challenge later on with nightmare missions, top tier gear to be had, I hoping for some quality story dlc in the future 👍
"Oh an orc, so random"🤣🤣
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the review this website gave the game was criminal, maybe they were tired or something after all the hours wasted killing orcs on the roadside in DD2🤣
@NoHope it's funny, you don't like him from a cgi trailer, zero gameplay, no personality showen, also you don't like literally the only AC main character that actually has some real life history But please elaborate on why
No rogue lite please, do Arena or something,.scaling and getting progressively harder, with currency to buy buffs, gear , suits etc similar to darksiders 3 101 levels of arena would be sweet
They tried to remove the original brutality from the scene overall, and gave us some wonky " clouds having a mental breakdown" is Aerith Alive? No she isn't the story remained the same, just made annoyingly difficult to understand for some reason, rather than just been direct
@NEStalgia A 6 for Rise of the Ronin is absolutely criminal, I really enjoy Stellar Blade but I'd give it 7, there's something missing, can't quite say what it is, Maybe the bad narrative and/or janky platforming, But ya know it's their first swing and certainly didn't miss
Announcement will come soon i think yeah, but probably not January release, then to soften that blow, there will come a new Remake, most likely RE4, I dont be live code Veronica will ever get redone unfortunately
@DennisReynolds I really enjoyed it, fun platinum aswell not too much of a grind, Nonits definitely not up there with ff7, I love bough remake and rebirth I have nonproblems at all with them, apart from minigames in Rebirrh testing my patience, Unfortunately for square they sit in a hard place, if they changed nothing about the game and just updated the system and gfx people would complain, " it's same game new gfx and you charge us loads for it" but now they sit in place of " too much change, convoluted story and such, Tough for them Unfortunately and I think that effects sales from people who were on the bench about it
@Member_the_game he isn't wrong though, games like football and CoD etc are games people aren't generally on the fence about. You like them or don't,.unlike for example Ghostrunner, that's a game people would be unsure about and wouldn't be willing to payout straight away for. There's a reason fifa, cod, nba, release pretty much on the year, and its not because people are waiting for psplus release...
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I just highlighted my fallout 4 game which I installed last night, and over to the right it had " free ps5 upgrade" no trouble, direct download plus all dlc
@atthegates it sure is, the bosses are actually a little dangerous, it's good fun, adds little side story to what is going in around you as played Leon, recommend for sure
@Splat I think those people are far and few between now though, the "unwelcoming" group, looking at the latest 3 games FF Online, ff16 and ff7 remake has split the fanbase alot, I wouldn't let them bother you tho,
@Silenos care to elaborate on why its so brilliant?? Or were you just hoping you'd have alot people join you on your comment, Toxic/haters..... please learn to use the words appropriately, Any hater had given their reason to why, yet you come here and tell them to go elsewhere...on a comment section on a forum about the game, the audacity of them, If this was a new IP it'd be forgotten already,
@Specky I just don't understand the praise, all the high reviews. The game is junk, maybe passable at mid ps4 tier, Having played this alongside Rise of the Ronin, I'm dumbfounded that game got slashed and pushed to the sidelines for what...a ps4 remaster with a 2 added on
@Specky I'm with you, I put in 30hrs or so, I have to force myself to play it and try to like it, just isn't working, awful clunky combat, no lock on, hold assed fast travel. Any1 known if you get mounts later or you forced to run across the land with encounters every 45secs of the same enemies for 175th time.
Yeah wheres the high review scores coming from, overall its junk, janky movement, fps still sucks after patch, no fast travel...really.. sorry but the world really isn't that great, and the ungodly amount of " random encounters" And why do.i keep reading about how good it looks????? It's ps4 pro level,.and that's been kind. And no lock on this has to be an awful "modifier" to leave out, and before you all jump yeah blah blah same as the first..Still doesn't make it good. Combat is passable, menus are an eyesore Pawns are annoying, same 5 lines over and over 😒 I bought this alongside Rise of the Ronin, im sorry I didn't start this first, ROTR is actually amazing game yet was hammered down by reviewers, and this junk getting 8s and 9s But I'll put more hours in because I paid for it, hopefully I'll come to like it, or be in time to sell it for some return
@Luigia Duke nukem wasn't even that good back in the day, especially up against doom, Qauke, Unreal tournament etc, it was seen as.a "good" game due to its pre adolescent humour and excessive bad language, unfortunately the world grew up, Duke Nukem Forever was set up to fail in so many areas. And it did that in top form 👌 but then again maybe there will be a new 1, that's good, I mean it survived like 30 games? so...who knows, I hope so
@Americansamurai1 it didn't really at the start, it's was a very mediocre game and most planets and galaxies were pretty much lifeless, current iteration of this game is literally worlds apart (pun intended)
I bought both rise of the ronin and dragons domga2, im enjoying rise of the ronin more actually, I read about fps in rise been awful, but its slightly mentioned about dogma2 in actual fact the fps dogma been dreadful is rampant, in rise its " once in awhile" I read somewhere the other day that this will be a days gone situation, people just hate on the game for no real reason other than a few shabby review outlets tought it was "ok"
Well I've got hard mode FF7 to complete and started about 1/3 through rise of the ronin,.so it will be some time before I get around to this,.hopefully it will be nicely patched etc👌
@jt887 haha yeah probably, problem I think also the choices rofjt now for games is off the charts, I can imagine most of the reviewers just got off playing FF7 and Dragons Dogma, games from devs who are years in experience of open world " fun" As for the frame rate, I played 6-7 hours yesterday I experienced 2 times frame rate flux and that was during cutscenes, not exactly immersion breaking. But hope you enjoy it, character creation is actually really good.
@Arnna don't let this bad review turn you away, if you like Team ninja, you'll like this, it's absolutely not as bad as this review makes it seem l, not even close
After getting my copy of the game a day early , I put in a few hours and so far this review is bad... sure it doesn't look amazing, but from previews that was expected ??? Combat as always from TeamNinja is great, weapon mixing and matching abilities, brutal finishers, And for the comment of "its a worse ghost of tsushima" no it isn't...there almost the same game, only thing is Ghost look beautiful that's literally all thats different, because combat in Rise is much more thrilling and rewarding
@UltimateOtaku91 never understood the hate for Days Gone, wasn't ground breaking or anything it was just enjoyable, not many games have given me the rush of taken down hordes and/or running for my life due to bad planning or caught off guard
@get2sammyb it's unnecessary because even now mid through ps5 gen, there's barely even a few games that utilises ps5's power, and what, now the pro comes and suddenly were gonna be awash with super high grade games ?? No we're not, it is unnecessary and will be over priced just like psvr2, And also all we will hear for the rest of ps5 gen " enhanced for ps5Pro" And all your really doing is paying high price beta for ps6
I'm utterly shocked!!! I mean an un-supported, more expensive than the console peripheral, with games nobody cares about, not forgetting also when they released it, half the players were still struggling to get a ps5 at a somewhat reasonable price. 50% sale to move your stock and leave it fade it away, get to work on a vita2, psportal gonna be a failure too...
@Czar_Khastik queen's blood ain't got nothing triple triad, such a quality card game, they should make a mini game for it, like withxher did with gwent!
9 for me, loved it the start then I came to Gongaga, holy hell worst map ever designed, but then went through cosmo and nibel restored some faith, but piano can go jump out a window...
@JohntheRaptor oh yeah it's horrible, move on with main story go to a new area, it's like starting all over again, and side note Gongaga is literally one of the worst designed maps I've ever played in any game,.absolutely story only only hard mode
The 10 people who like live service games will.be happy I'm sure, and these companies are wondering why they " fall short of projection" and have to let people go. Is it ignorance ? Or does one of the companies want to be the one to make it massive with a massive rpg live service, cause it ain't gonna happen
@Enuo omg she never shuts up, especially annoying when you come to the enemy group,.you engage and she just keeps yapping
As for the length of part 3 an ton of things on disc 3 original were optional, and I feel they might cut/shorten down some parts, praying the whole lifestream/cloud/mideel is super chopped
@ShogunRok thanks for the reply, hmm I hope they don't outstay the welcome to quick then, and 1 more question The Barret and Dyne story, is it done well?
@ShogunRok would it seem that any of the mini games will slow progression towards the platinum? Like piano playing, it's already giving me ptsd thinking about the squats in remake....
@Arisen very unlikely, doesn't matter what you say about ubisoft they are still a very large manageable company, and after recent acquiring the stream.rights from the blizzard/Microsoft deal,, sorry to tell you Ubisoft are going nowhere soon, strikes or not
