@GeminiReign that’s fine you don’t agree but I feel it’s was mediocre bordering on bad. The story was a joke,the world was barren and horribly designed with no reason to explore,voice acting was mediocre to bad,characters were beyond forgettable,music was forgettable,enemy variety was anemic and the technical aspects were really mediocre. The only thing it had going for it was it’s combat and pawn system and that’s it.
I’m really enjoying it it’s a good game but man this is when I wished I had nostalgia for the original like the hardcore fans do because it would help to overlook all the problems. The world can be beautiful but way too inconsistent graphics wise and the sidequests are still poop and barely better than part one I would love if they were Horizon FW,Witcher 3,Cyberpunk 2077 and GOW Ragnarok level. The overarching story is pretty bad but the character interactions are great and I really love the combat. The open world feels like a gen ago I mean ubi towers when even ubi quit doing that ages ago lol and there is nothing unique to discover at landmarks hell anywhere that isn’t marked with an icon. I would probably give it an 8 so far but I still have tons of game to go so maybe it will get better. Oh and their slow walking sections are literally worse than any other game that has them
Yeah I’m really liking the game so far but my god in the mountains of nibelheim there are tons of spots where the rocks and mountains are just low res and muddy where it just looks like globs of clay mushed together and this is in fidelity mode.
I don’t get why people do this like what do they gain. It’s like when a game as leaderboards and all you see is cheaters on the top spots and at that point why even have leaderboards
@man_what lol exactly I’m still excited to play this but I can’t stand the hypocrisy from users here who I’ve seen crap on games for having filler or crap sidequest. It just goes to show that if you’re a super fan of a series you’ll turn a blind eye to the same problems you’ve dropped hot takes on for other games by using the “logic” of “actually it’s different and enjoyable this time” in a ridiculous and convoluted way lol
@danzoEX I’m more interested in how the character work was so overwhelmingly positive that it negates the absolutely craptastic side content and filler other games would have been absolutely dinged for in their scores from the ten reviews. I def think nostalgia is doing some heavy lifting here for reviewers because this feels like a open world game from a decade ago
@sanderson72 the ps5 has way more diversity than ps3 since indie scene really blew up during ps4 gen and most fans agree the first three and half years of ps5 as been a lot better than ps4 was
@sanderson72 Jesus Jim Ryan was a major positive force for Sony and he was beloved by a lot of developers and people in the industry. All he did was take Sony from strength to strength with a few bumps along the way. You want to see an “accountant” look no further than Totoki and pray he quietly goes away after they name a new ceo and pray it’s not him
@CallMeDuraSouka man just the amount of movement options DL 2 provides smokes DI 2 and the level design also. The verticality of DL 2 is super impressive especially how many interiors there are and mini puzzles to solve to get into some of them. DI 2 was a fun time but I just feel it wore out it’s welcome long before it’s end while DL 2 with its movement,combat and exploring lasted a lot longer before hitting the point of ok let’s wrap this up
@lacerz MS and especially Phil Spencer are the masters of double speak too bad they aren’t masters at getting people into their ecosystem lol. I kid but it is annoying how many times Phil and MS have been caught out lying and yet hardcore Xbox fanboys still fawn all over him like he’s their friend
@Wilforce I’m pretty sure MS has talked about gamepass being a loss leader right now and you’re right about people subscribing and forgetting that’s me but I don’t think that makes MS happy because that person isn’t telling friends and family how awesome gamepass is and getting them to subscribe which is why the numbers have stagnated
@Wilforce obviously it’s a bad deal if MS is looking elsewhere to make up the money they are losing. I also bet those numbers are slightly inflated and the majority of those subs probably don’t engage enough. I have Monthly gamepass yet I haven’t turned on or touched it since the 10 hours I put into Starfield at launch
@Deityjester I’d argue consumers too because it’s putting gaming into an even more precarious position than it already is in. Gaming has always been an expensive hobby and I find it funny that gamers think they should get these 300 million dollar games for Pennies not realizing that isn’t sustainable and could make gaming that they supposedly love crash and possibly go away
@Godot25 yes some fans didn’t think Sony would release their games on pc but they come like two years after and some still aren’t in sight like GOT or tlou part 2. Sony was very clear a year or two ago whenever it was that all their gaas titles would be day and date on pc so nobody is moving goalposts. Just like Sony needed to do what gamepass does which come to find out isn’t ***** and they didn’t they don’t need to release their sp games on Xbox and won’t anytime soon because once again just like Nintendo they sell software to move hardware and unlike MS they are very successful at doing that so they have no need to release games on Xbox.
@Godot25 yeah no Sony had already made it crystal clear that their live service games would be day and date on pc but there’s no way in hell they will release their single player exclusives on Xbox because unlike Xbox exclusives PlayStations review well,sell well and their console sells
@Coversnail they weren’t and I guarantee they will come to ps as well as blade in a few years. MS knew what they were doing with their double speak and having these games as the first four to come. It gives time for the hardcore Xbox fanboys to get over their anger at which point the heavy hitters will start releasing
@Kienda MS is slowly but surely going into becoming the biggest third party publisher in gaming since their console sales have cratered two gens in a row so I feel after next gen they will be probably quit making consoles
@stu123 yeah so rich that they now need to release their exclusives on ps and switch smh. Just because the company MS is rich doesn’t mean the Xbox gaming division is
@Godot25 if you’re looking at it through fanboy googles than I could see how you perceive the article to be that but it’s just showing that Sony made the right business decision not to do day and date
@Jayslow same here I beat hi fi but I’ll def play it again on ps5 for trophies and started pentiment and loved it but got sidetracked by other games only like three hours in so I’ll def buy that too
Well verge just had an article where Xbox is calling this Xbox everywhere with hi fi,sot and pentiment being the first to release with others on case by case basis. Gamepass has absolutely stalled and sounds dire. So this sounds like MS easing into going multiplat with some great but “smaller” titles to get the hardcore Xbox fans to acclimate then start porting the rest
@BeerIsAwesome wow Xbox fanboys are really in their feelings lol. Don’t blame Sony blame MS and their horrible marketing and not being a desirable product
@NinjaNicky that isn’t what the rumors say and it’s because MS needs to make the money back on that 90 billion they spent and since their game pass subs have stalled and their console sales have cratered this is what they think will help that
I actually really enjoyed the open missions in MW 3 but I don’t play mp or war zone so I didn’t see the reused assets. I’ve played every cod campaign there’s been so I’ll be there day one for this one too especially since it’s raven making it who made one of the best fps ever with singularity.
@TrickyDicky99 does it matter those games are playable on ps5 and they sold like 80 to 90 percent of their copies there only console warriors try to discredit them. Nobody says botw isn’t a switch game even though it was on Wii U
@Intr1n5ic yeah that would never go down. Imagine the backlash them going multiplat is causing now imagine them reverting oh boy would that be a sight lol

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Has Over 1,000 Unique NPCs, and If They Die, They're Dead
I truly doubt you can have relationships with all 1000 npc’s and all the videos I’ve seen of this game makes it look as mediocre as the first DD.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
