I'm surprised it survived so long...

Why should everything in games be balanced? If you don't like it, don't use it.

I still cannot understand these debates that some skill or item is "must have" while others are "useless" and developers are nerfing or boosting like crazy... Terrifying example is Diablo 4, where Blizzard was going too much for balance that whole game feels flat, no matter which skills or items you pick up, everything feels absolutely same ...boring.

So why nerfing or boosting??? Let it be as it is and let players play it way they want, not way developer want...

...LEGO also may not always be build strictly by manual...

So there is no singleplayer or what?

@amatmulisha aaaaaaaand that's what I am doing.

@amatmulisha Will it run on WinXP? Otherwise PC version is not for me...

Still didn't played U4 but must say U1 was the best, followed by U2 (SPOILER: If Shamballa wasn't so endlessly huge it could be no.1), finished by U3.

U3 was a bit pain in ass to finish and as same as U2 it had so much deaf fluff.

I hate spin-offs so cannot judge rest.

No Rest For The Wicked

...and people go and buy day one and after few days they complain and stop playing...

Product sold, no refunds, good job.

@Flaming_Kaiser Golden Axe 1 (original). I thought you was mentioning GA:BR heroine to point out you cannot choose different character unlike in original trilogy and you are forced to play sexy lady, because there is nothing else to look at...

BTW I'm glad we've overcome that stupid lowhigh attacks where you had to use lowhigh defence to avoid get hit, used in this mass fight game. I still remember when attacking some camp where 3 high and 4 low attacks appeared in same time and I felt like "OK, so hit me. Whatever..."

If there will be no standalone physical medium containing my bought product I'm out. 🙂 I also have so big backlog that I have something to play till the end of my times.

I just simply not accept when I DON'T GET my product to use it way I want.

Do Among Us still hold "the most toxic" game ever made???

Maybe I'll grab Borderlands 3 even if I was never able to finish first one, because of coalescent graphics.

I loved Dark Messiah Of M&M

Turn-based - Yes, RPG - Yes, Norse - Nooo 🤦

I don't care any visual enhancements, just give me working PS2 emulator. And of course original 4:3 picture scale (I hate 16:9 stretch of 4:3 format). I have so much games it is sin to let them sit on shelf...

@Flaming_Kaiser It was only available beat em up on PC

@Flaming_Kaiser I always played hero (or panther in GA3) but I got your point...

Use stupid AI, win stupid prizes.

Pretty good game. Maybe I'll play it again someday in far future (skipping side quests, they make too much distraction from story tempo).

Hope they improve textures... those 8bit are horrible..

(sarcasm, I don't care Minecraft at all)

Every "product" made by AI should be marked and allowed to be paid by AI generated money.

Or are we on the dawn of "AI free product" mark era???

Great! A few days ago I found my Fighting Force PC CD and went to install it. 🙂

Ahhhh.... Lady in Leopard With a Gun is there.... world is balanced again...

I must admit PushSquare starts to be quite good in clickbait titles, coz half of articles I just open because I don't understand what it says.

BTW never heard of these games...

This man has hit nail in a head. PS3 era was pinacle of gaming. Games around 40 hours long, quite linear but enough space for some secrets, mostly finished on release. I've finished around 20 games in that era. Now I have similar amount of time and I've finished around 5 games? Because they are meaninglessly huge and most of time you are just running barren world (ubisoft are experts in this).

I miss Looney Tunes so I'm in. 🙂

@Zeke68 Same here. There was only few games proclaimed to be singleplayer with option to coop that were actually good made for singleplayer. Rest is just pain in the a$$ focused only on coop.

If it is optional and can be switched off, than there is no problem. Problem is when game is primarily made for more players and singleplayer is made only for purpose.

Looks like black suits from EA visited them again...

Alone in the Dark (1992) is way older than Resident Evil (1996) so I don't understand that constant comparison.

However... Back to this remake or reboot or whatever you call it. Yes, it is sad, lots of people loose job, but on the other hand look at reviews. Lots of technical flaws on release. Isn't that sign people simply have enough of unfinished games on release??? Yes, there will always be idiots who buy day one or even pre-order in this dark ages of incompleteness. But lots of customers just wait, because they want something unbroken for their money.

This is fault on both sides.
Embracer shouldn't make resumes on basis of few months if they know product is broken.
Pieces simply shouldn't release broken game.

Platinum trophy should be granted to those, who completed game and everything it contains.

Because FtP and GaaSes don't have whole content available in game from beginning, they shouldn't have Platinum.

Also developers don't understand how it works and rather than making trophies about exploration, collections and completions, they rather make trophies about meaningless grinding and repeating.

@B0udoir I'm singleplayerist so I never think about invitations (I don't like actual people play my game). Yes DS is "not so" open world and it sometimes feels frustrating to repeat location from last waypoint, but on the other hand you can more predict action of enemy and simply avoid hits. Enemies also almost don't have thrust attacks, where they jump to your face from long distance in blink of an eye. ER gives me constant feel that enemies have unnatural accuracy and swiftness which makes me feel hugely underpowered. Not as much as in Bloodbourne, but still a lot. Of course talking about ordinary enemies. Bosses I've met (in ER) were all one-two hit killers with so long attacks or collateral damage that it is even not possible to get close enough to hit them.

@Logonogo I've noticed it more than in other games and it is uncomfortable for me.

@DennisReynolds Of course I avoid one-hit killers. My problem is I cannot use to the fact I need about 5 meters more around my character to not get hit. And on level 30 I still feel like level 1 character.

@L_Bosch Yes, I have it on my mind. Still I feel hitbox of my character is 5x larger than person. Demon Souls (PS3) had much more precise hitboxes.

@DennisReynolds If you get hit by bear swinged paw that is visually about 5 meters away (paw itself, not bear) or by giant's club that lands visibly 3 meters away, it doesn't seems fair to me.

I'll try that game for the third time someday, but I fear it ends a few hours later again. I still cannot help myself, contrary Demon's Souls, this game is heavily unfair.

Finally.... someone used one brain cell and stepped out of the nonsense box "must be soulslike" that eradicated classic action RPGs.

Another level of robbery. And as long as extremly stupid customers buy it, this becomes standard and gamers will be considered more stupid.

@chesheer Ohh I see... The closest to CoD I have ever played is Wolfenstein. Otherwise I love rather unreal shooters, like Unreal, Quake, Doom and so on...

I can clearly see that 50 years old "Ivan" in smoked closet with three CRT monitors around and phoning to boss with cigarette in mouth: "Yes boss, I almost have it. Working on it all clock around. I have PS2 working version... What??? PS5??? What year it is??? 2020 or what??? ..."

@chesheer I was thinking hardly, where I've seen it... 🤣🤣🤣 Must go and play Tiberian Sun...

BTW that Xdeviant something still didn't died???

Personaly I hate all game add-ons.
It should be implemented in game from day one or released as standalone or sequel.

Also I absolutely don't care any news of existing games. I would also make all updates optional, because most of time they screw whole game (for example Diablo 4 v1.02 and higher).

They are whining game sales drops, but on the other hand they are inventing tools to keep players in game and NOT buying another game. And still poking into game mechanics until game feels flat and unfunny.

@Bagwag82 So stay connected to your matrix capsule. But most people just don't like it.

Streaming textures HAHAHAAA I don"t eat their lies...

Perfect. Even if I'm 130 hours in and still cannot get proper combination of jokers to get to ante 12, this is game you need to have on shelf. I didn't play something more addictive since Hades.

So they came up to thing that selling more games makes more money???

I'm glad for DOOM, because it is only true gory shooter of all times.

Someone is making singleplayer fps??? Did someone understood what world desperately need??? Yes, there is issue with that co-op mode, so game will be heavily unbalanced, but still...

I think it is because of LEGO decision, not Sony's.

@FPSfan1337 Haptic feedback is the most overrated feature in all gaming history.

@NEStalgia Nice one. 🤣🤣🤣

At least I managed to get Balatro few weeks ago...
