@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.
Depends on the game. For indie games, I'd say about 10 hours. For something like Uncharted, around 15-20, and for a big open world RPG 40 or more is fine if it's interesting.
I read a lot of the notes in Control because I found them interesting. I've never read every single note in a game though. Even trying sounds like some kind of masochistic torture.
I forgot why I stopped playing the beta of this a couple of months ago, but this review reminded me of the awful dialogue and it all came flooding back. Cringe doesn't come close.

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

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.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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.

@Matej Use psprices.com. They email you faster than the PS Store does anyway,
Re: The Last of Us Dev Naughty Dog Hiring for Three PS5, PS4 Games
I think it's time they did something new. As much as I'd love a new Uncharted, I think they're long overdue for a new IP.
Re: Poll: How Long Should Games Be?
Depends on the game. For indie games, I'd say about 10 hours. For something like Uncharted, around 15-20, and for a big open world RPG 40 or more is fine if it's interesting.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Sales Surpass an Impressive Eight Million
@Texan_Survivor 8m copies at $60 a copy is $480m. The game had a development cost of $60m. It's done really well.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Read All the Crap in Games?
I read a lot of the notes in Control because I found them interesting. I've never read every single note in a game though. Even trying sounds like some kind of masochistic torture.
Re: Destruction AllStars January Update Will Make Key Changes to Gameplay, Presentation
I liked this at launch, had my fun for a couple of months, but it's just not a game I ever saw myself playing for longer than that.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gets Surprise DLC This Month, 2022 Expansion Is 40 Hours Long
@Uncharted2007 Hahaha, "20 hours"? No mate, you are not halfway through I'm afraid.
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2021?
Gotta be Kena. F**king beautiful game.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
Was wondering how long it would take Godfall to come to plus.
Re: Saints Row Delayed All the Way Back to August 2022
You forgot HFW is releasing in February as well, although I wouldn't be surprised if that slipped another month or two also.
Re: Impressive Project Awakening Footage Emerges from Cygames Tech Showcase
Looks gorgeous but still a long way away would be my guess.

Re: Super Monkey Ball's AiAi Is Going Bananas in Fall Guys with Latest Costume Collab
@Saucymonk I don't play it that much but I keep it installed. It's fun for a couple of games every now and then.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Kena: Bridge of Spirits?
@Hurblyburbly I know, it's much more challenging than I was expecting.
