Never had an issue with characters telling me how to solve a puzzle 😂. Being dumb as f**k I'd rather know how to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible, instead of resorting to Gamefaqs and YouTube guides 😭
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.
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.
@somnambulance Yooooooo first time.seeing a human giving a shout to Happy Console Gamer! Johnny has to be one of my favourite YouTubers at this moment in time.
Always appreciate you guys highlighting lesser known games that most people wouldn't bother checking out, simply because they're not aware of their existence.
As an admirer of steampunk stuff, I'll defo check this out 😃
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 👀
@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.
Looks fantastic. Aside from a few misfires here and there (JJK cursed trash 🗑), Bandai have been on a roll as of late. This seems to (hopefully) be another banger
Perfect pricing. Been meaning to play this one on the PS3 but... let's just say the time for collecting games at a reasonable price for that console is nearing it's end😂.
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.
@AsterZero Honestly speaking My hero one's justice 2 was a fantastic game😂. Some issues sure, but I think with a third game they could've definitely ironed some things out. Alas, I don't know if we'll ever get a third one.
One of the best games ever made with one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.
A big hearty recommend from me, for anyone looking to experience a tough but rewarding action platformer. Not too long as well from what I remember. Think I beat it in like 12 hours on the psp? So yeah, a great pallete cleanser between longer games.
Currently replaying Dragon Quest V and man do I love this game so much!
Also catching up on the SGF announcements. Seems like it was a pretty good showcase imo. It's always the ones that you don't tune in for that happen to be good😂
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😭
@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😂
Been playing Binary Domain for the PS3 and I'm having a blast! But it's not just the gameplay that's super fun mind you, but it's the story that's surprisingly pretty good!
Now that the damned dissertation is finally handed in it's time to finally get back into videogames😭😭😭
Season 1 was an enjoyable show, but definitely doesn't compare to the original game. Felt rushed and some scenes lacked impact as a result of that. Still a solid 7/10, but I'm really hoping season 2 is an improvement.
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 😂.
I was today years old when I found out that a Jump moba exists on phone 😯.
As cool as these events are, the amount of people are scary ngl😂. This is such a stretch I know, but after hearing stories related to crowdcrush I am very wary of swarms of people😬.
Understandable but a shame nonetheless. And like others are saying this void is being filled by many indie rpgs and Square's own HD-2D rpgs.
I'd highly recommend Oninaki if anybody hasn't played it. Not a perfect game, the combat is incredibly repetitive, but it's world and story were really well done imo.

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

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

Honestly these Internet dweebs are so icky about any lady on the Internet, bonus points for being East Asian.
But to role play as a young Japanese lady and even going out of your way to speak in broken English is insane.
Like I'm equal parts laughing and shaking my head😬. It's weird as hell
