Re: 'Final Chapter' of Star Wars Jedi Series Currently in Development

homelesscretin

Just completed Fallen order like 3 days ago!

Ultimately a solid if a little unremarkable video game. A 7.5/10 if you will. Just gonna spit some disorganised thoughts if you don't mind
🥱

Story was kinda meh. It definitely takes a while to pick up again. And once it does, you've got an okay ish tale that's carried heavily by its characters. Second sister, Cal, Cere. Especially second sister. Such a fantastic performance. But like I said, it takes a long ass time for the story to pick up again.

Combat was fun but man was it infuriating at first. Don't know if anybody else felt this but the Combat feels so sticky at times. Like I've pressed square, realised I've f****d up and quickly tap L1 to cancel into a Parry...except Cal doesn't Parry. So I have to eat an attack knowing full well that if this was any other videogame that attack would have been parried. And don't get me started on the force bar. Ugh. So many cool force abilities that you barely end up using or string together because the bar depletes so rapidly when you've used just one move😂.

And then the exploration. Was a little baffled by this one if I'll be honest. Best part about any metroidvania is coming back to a previous area with the ability to access once inaccessible places. You're usually rewarded with cool things. IMO the stuff in jedi fallen order is anything but cool. Ponchos. Lightsaber colours. Boring lore. It just isn't very interesting and I felt like I wasn't being rewarded.for exploring if that makes sense.

But despite all the issues with this game, it made me feel like a little kid again😂. Star wars was a franchise that was so near and dear to my heart. And then TLJ happened. The series expanded with like 7 million mediocre TV shows. And I just kinda fell out of love if I'll be honest.

But after playing fallen order? I'm kinda itching rewatch ot, pt and maybe even finally finish the st. Heard Andor's banging so I might just check that out too. Ultimately Jedi fallen order rekindled my love for Star Wars again, so thanks Respawn.

Gonna have breakfast now 🥱

Re: Suda 51 Says 'Everyone Cares Too Much About Metacritic Scores'

homelesscretin

Sadly, a surprising amount of gamers lack the ability to form their own opinion. I don't even mean this as an insult mind you.

The amount of people that will say "X game is bad, because IGN gave it a 7/10 (which isn't even a bad score) therefore I will never ever try out this game myself, even though I really want to" are plentiful.

A review is another person's opinion. A piece in which the writer tells you their thoughts about whatever media they've consumed. Whether they like it or dislike it, it is NOT definitive judgement 😂.

Ultimately that's what Suda and Mikami are getting at. There's nothing inherently wrong with Metacritic. But gamers using that as the be all end all of how a video game should be perceived is insane.

Re: PS5, PC Disaster Concord Is Now Officially Offline Indefinitely

homelesscretin

Like most people, I don't really care nor ever will care about Concord. But I can't help but feel for the developers.

Imagine spending the past eight years putting blood, sweat and tears into your dreams only for it to be unanimously rejected by the masses.

Hope the people at firewalk can pick themselves up after this.

Re: Until Dawn PS5 Is Priced at $60 / £60

homelesscretin

Seems like people have forgotten that an until dawn movie is also in the works.

Similarly to how TLOU part 1 sold really well (I think) thanks to new interest from the HBO series, I'm sure Sony is planning a similar outcome for until dawn. Guess we'll have to wait and see if it pays off 👀

Re: Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Gets First Real Look at Explosive Gameplay

homelesscretin

@Veritas7Ax Don't forget a certain character from a certain JRPG as well😉

I just LOVE his voice so much man. Something about it that's so silky, so satisfying to hear😂. Don't wanna sound weird or anything but there's some voices that just sound so GOOD. Voices that can't be replicated. Feel the same way with Ashley Johnson and Robin Atkin Downes.

Re: Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Announced for PS5, PS4, and Yes, It's an Arena Fighter

homelesscretin

A lot of people hate arena fighters...

But I love them😂. Yes, there's a lot of them that suck, but there are a lot of great ones as well. Ultimate ninja storm, budokai tenkaichi, pokken, Arms, power stone, gundam versus, kill la kill if.

Arena fighters have a lot of potential but unfortunately most of the time that potential isn't realised. But when it is realised like in the games that I listed above, you're in for a great time.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reveal Trailer Is Already the Most Disliked in Series History

homelesscretin

Honestly speaking tho, I hate the constant outrage and negativity that surrounds pretty much anything related to entertainment. Whether it be a film or a game, there is always something that shouldn't have even been considered controversial to begin with😂.

Edit: Funny thing is it takes away from the things one should be critical of in the first place. You're complaining about a black dude in a videogame when the real problem is Ubisoft's absurd pricing schemes😭

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529

homelesscretin

@Mintie Seems like it was a big fat gurthy bomb for SEGA unfortunately😬.

But I think that's what I find so weird. You have plenty of games that perform abysmally initially on launch, or aren't received super well critically yet later on they become cult classics; This doesn't seem to be the the case at all for Binary Domain🥲.

I hope one day it gets its moment in the spotlight. Lot of memes can be made from this game I tell you😂

Re: Looks Like This Is the New Lara Croft in PS5's Next Tomb Raider

homelesscretin

Again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but what do people even want anymore with female characters?

People use to complain about reboot Lara's character design from Shadow, they've listened and gone back to her original design and people now have an issue with the very thing that they wanted in the first place 😂.
