@epicurean The only reason I replayed it is because the gameplay is top notch. The story is strange and the kindest thing I can say about it is that it doesn't stick the landing.
@Shalooda Really? No offence and I get that different people like different things but I've found the stealth awful. I'm a big AC fan but in Outlaws the stealth is really poor. Massive knows action and when I was fighting the Rancor in the game, I kept think this is what the game should be.
I'm playing this at the moment. It's at its best when it's allowed be an action game. The stealth sections really do suck the life out of the game. I'll finish it but I will not be buying any DLC.
Could they not get in trouble here if the new roles are similar to the ones that were cut? Making someone redundant means their job doesn't exist anymore. You can't just tell someone they're not needed and then bring someone new in to do the same job. If I was one of the people who lost my job, I'd have a close eye on Kwalee's job ads and the other on a solicitor's number.
@BeerIsAwesome Games are more expensive to make nowadays unfortunately. If it's not football or one of the big American sports, you can forget about regular releases.
@Jimmer-jammer Is Requiem better? I've tried to play the first game a couple of times but it's never held my attention, even though it is the kind of game I usually like.
They should have released Dreams on PC. People would have been much more inclined to use it there. Trying to create games with a controller was just awkward and off putting.
I don't mind a long RPG although I will start to lose interest if it feels 'uncompletable'. I enjoyed Odyssey and the expansions, but Valhalla was just too much.
This needed to be brought to PC. I've been dragged for saying this before but creating with the controller was awkward. Maybe it's something you get used but it created a barrier to entry that most people were not going to bother getting over. Mouse and keyboard would have worked so much better.
I played about half this and I didn't hate it. Granted I started it after a few patches so bugs weren't really an issue. I thought I wouldn't like the characters but I found myself liking most of them. The thing that made me stop playing was bad controls and the fact that it lost that sense of fun that SR games had in the past.
The more I see of these cartoon effects, the more I don't like them. They seem distracting. Not great in a game where you constantly have to keep an eye out for traffic coming the other way.
I am looking forward to this game, but it looks like having to constantly bring up a wheel to switch between spells might take some of the zip out of combat and get a bit tiring after a while.

Oh cool, first person mode gives me headaches and nausea. Might actually try this now
Re: New PS5 Beta Firmware Update Out 24th July, Includes Teased Controller Feature
I was trying to fix an old pad to use for my Steam Deck when docked but it's beyond repair, so can't wait till they roll out this feature to everyone.

Re: Ubisoft Game Riders Republic Will Be Made into a Movie, for Some Reason
I couldn't play this game because of how excruciating the writing was.
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (PS5) - Globe-Trotting Adventure Just Got Even Better on PS5
"No one is asking MachineGames to make a third-person game, but certainly Indiana Jones felt more suited to that perspective."
I am 100% asking them to make a third person mode. First person gives me a throbbing headache.
Re: Horde Assault Show Off Days Gone PS5 Remaster at Its Very Best
Oh, I am down for this. It looks like my new stress release activity.
Re: Enjoy Iconic US Magazine Game Informer's Back Catalogue for Free
Thanks for the heads up - I will lose days in that archive!
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 5 on PS5?
Yes, yes, yes! Forza Horizon is by far the best arcade racing series around. NFS and the Crew are in serious trouble now.
Re: The World Is Showing It's Ready for Tokyo Xtreme Racer on PS5
Been looking for a good arcade racer for years. This looks promising.
Re: 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Outsold Ubisoft's Outlaws in 2024
Yes, one is a good game and the other isn't.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Indie Game of 2024
Animal Well is my pick. Really must try Nine Sols soon. Do not get the Balatro hype.
Re: Suicide Squad Season 4, Deathstroke Fail to Move the Needle Much
@Petrecis24 I would love if this is the case but I don't think it is. Execs are blinded by Fortnite money and will never stop chasing it.
Re: Rumour: Forza Horizon 5 Is Ready to Roll on PS5, But Release Has Been Delayed
It's the one I've been waiting for. Well, this and Senua 2. Hope both are on ps5 soon.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Sales Keep Pace with Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in UK
@Loamy I'm much preferring Dragon Age. The companions in Dogma were a bunch of kiss asses.
Re: Golden Joystick Reveals Nominations for 'Ultimate Game of the Year'
Nice to see Animal Well in there. It's a great game.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Comes Out Swinging, Already EA's Biggest Single Player Game on Steam
Was only able to get an hour in last night but enjoying it so far. Can't wait to get stuck in later.

100 hours? See, I would like to play these kinds of games but who has the time?
Re: Preview: Black Myth: Wukong Could Finally Be the Game Journey to the West Deserves
@Perturbator One of my absolute favourites. Still excited for this though!
Re: Square Enix to 'Aggressively' Pursue Multiplatform Strategy from Now On
FF7 Rebirth not selling as well as Remake must have a lot to do with this.
Re: Media Molecule's New Project Is 'More of a Game Than a Creative Tool' Says Co-Founder
I still can't believe Sony didn't bring Dreams to PC. If there was anywhere that it was going to flourish, it was there.

Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Out 25th April with New Modes and Content
@Maaster89 It's a mod, so no chance. Only on PC.
Re: Looking for a New Metroidvania? Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Seems Fine on PS5
This really caught my eye. Looking forward to it!
Re: Sony's London Studio, Media Molecule Were Reportedly 'Highest on the List' for Closure
Dreams needed to go on PC. No idea why they didn't.
Re: Fresh PS Plus Extra Racing Game Will Be the 'Ultimate NFS Experience'
Enjoyed the base game. Didn't even realise there was any DLC. May go back to it.

Re: Pour One Out for Gran Turismo Sport, Now Delisted from PS Store
@truerbluer While that is an issue, it's more likely this is related to the licensing of cars.

@Jimmer-jammer Is Requiem better? I've tried to play the first game a couple of times but it's never held my attention, even though it is the kind of game I usually like.
Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)
Does it have the annoying 'Remote Play Connected' box at the top of the screen?
Re: Media Molecule Reportedly the Latest Studio Hit with Layoffs
They should have released Dreams on PC. People would have been much more inclined to use it there. Trying to create games with a controller was just awkward and off putting.
Re: Cal Kestis Actor Cameron Monaghan Confirms Star Wars Jedi 3 Is Coming
@Northern_munkey It's not still broken. I played in it the past few weeks and it's fine.
Re: Don't Worry, Ubisoft Promises Star Wars Outlaws Won't Be a '300 Hour Epic Unfinishable RPG'
I don't mind a long RPG although I will start to lose interest if it feels 'uncompletable'. I enjoyed Odyssey and the expansions, but Valhalla was just too much.
Re: Preview: The Crew Motorfest Is Forza Horizon on PS5, and It's Brilliant
How's the handling? I found The Crew 2 very heavy.
Re: UK Sales Charts: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Manages a Top 10 Debut, Sells Best on PS5

Re: Gotham Knights Updated with New Kelvin Incident Raid for Free on PS5
Just finished this to other day. Was pleasantly surprised. Nothing groundbreaking but had a good time with it.
Re: Reaction: Dreams Losing Support Is a Sad End to PS4's Most Unbelievable Project
This needed to be brought to PC. I've been dragged for saying this before but creating with the controller was awkward. Maybe it's something you get used but it created a barrier to entry that most people were not going to bother getting over. Mouse and keyboard would have worked so much better.
Re: Saints Row Sales Flop Forces Parent Company to Change Its Policy on New Games
I played about half this and I didn't hate it. Granted I started it after a few patches so bugs weren't really an issue. I thought I wouldn't like the characters but I found myself liking most of them. The thing that made me stop playing was bad controls and the fact that it lost that sense of fun that SR games had in the past.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Looks Super Stylish in Short Gameplay Clip
The more I see of these cartoon effects, the more I don't like them. They seem distracting. Not great in a game where you constantly have to keep an eye out for traffic coming the other way.
Re: DreamsCom 22 Brings an Entire In-Game Expo to Dreams on 26th July
They need to release this game on PC. It would be revolutionary.
Re: Psychonauts 2 Is Seemingly Getting a Physical Version in September
Loved this game and really must replay. Ever part of it was so creative, an absolute joy to play.
Re: Fall Guys Gets a Terrifying Live-Action Trailer, Will be Free on PS5, PS4 From 21st June
I really like the trailer to be honest.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Debuts First Open World Gameplay in New Video
Sonic Stranding? Seems weird to see him in such a realistic world. I'll have to see more before I'll be convinced to buy this.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Just Got Outed by Norman Reedus
" maybe this is some kind of weird mistake" - No, I think it's pretty clear. And not a surprise really.
Re: Fall Guys Is Teasing a Big Announcement for Next Week
I don't play it that often but I haven't deleted it since I first got it on plus. It's fun for a game or two when you get tired of heavier games.
Re: Forspoken Impresses in 10 Minutes of PS5 Gameplay
I am looking forward to this game, but it looks like having to constantly bring up a wheel to switch between spells might take some of the zip out of combat and get a bit tiring after a while.
