@LiamCroft like others have pointed out from your review the game doesn't sound anything like a 10 out of 10. I have read numerous reviews and the one thing they all have in common is that the game becomes repetitive and boring through middle and later sections. They all also say the same thing about the story that it's a mess and it's all over the place. And to say that a main highlight of the game is inventry micro management and the rest is just delivery missions no matter how beautiful the world the world looks games are based on gameplay and story and from what I can gather those elements are severely lacking. But well done on acting like a child, I have played it so I am right. Kind of proved my point.
Tbh I don't see how from your review that this games score is a 10 when one of the pros of the game is weight management? Nothing on the review makes the game sound fun or that you even play a game it seems all you do is manage weight and then plot a course. If this game was made by anyone but Kojima it would of been slated and forgotten about in a week, but because its Kojima and all the hype and faith people have invested since the reveal I think people are wanting it to be a 10 rather than it actually being a 10. Just my opinion.
I don't think he means he is glad that game in particular was cancelled just that the cancellation allowed him to work on a whole new project instead and be involved from the start. Its like saying "I'm glad I missed the bus because I found £10 walking home"
Already have nioh complete edition, good game but I haven't got round to finishing it yet. Only played the first outlast very briefly, not my thing so I will probably not bother with outlast 2.
From a company point of view this is a bad idea, just ask all the phone providers. People will take out the plans and then just not pay like they do now with mobile phones and bright house and the other finance companies. It was this type of practice that caused the global financial crisis. Offering people expensive items they can't really afford and then complain when they don't pay. Bad idea.
Not everyone will be able to afford a ps5 straight away and if the ps4 launch is anything to go by then units may be hard to get hold of. With 100 million ps4 owners no company would be stupid enough to cancel an almost complete game to sell it at a later date to a limited consumer base.
@themcnoisy I am glad there is a fan base and I will give the game a try, I would of thought NFL or NBA would be more popular though but I have heard good things about mlb
They aren't bad games it's just most people in Europe and especially the UK have no interest or knowledge of baseball so its seems an odd choice outside of the US, I am sure there are people who will love mlb but I can't see it being many
Don't think the bugs matter, the game looks that stupid and ridiculous and just focused on silly tricks and goals are that so unrealistic maybe it being broken is a good thing
Played TLOU when it released in ps3 so might have to play through again on the updated version. Like a lot of others I have no interest in baseball, for me it's the worst of the American sports but the game might be OK but I doubt I will ever play it.
I found it a bit boring when I played it when it first came out, but I also have four children so I am used to creatures covered in slime and filth randomly jumping out at me so takes a bit more than jump scares to unsettle me. Shame they didn't make the full game though.
Obviously it's always been officially called Cross, but normal people call it x because its easier and rolls off the tongue. I call the A button on xbox x as well and the x on xbox I call square. I bought it I will call it what I want.
I have this and the first one for xbox but outcast isn't backward compatible for some reason and it's the best one of the series in my opinion. Can't wait to download this.
Happy with both of those, always liked the wipe out series but haven't played this one and never played any sniper elite games so I am happy I can them a try.
@AyanamiReign The ps3 didn't do as well initially because it was released 10 months or so after the 360 and it was more expensive but it later caught up and I believe it now has sold more then the 360. But it was mainly the fact people had already bought a 360 by the time ps3 launched, I did and then sold it once ps3 arrived.
I am not a collector but I don't like the idea of renting a game at full retail price. Then what happens to the people who pay for games on the stadia service but not enough people over all have the system and they shut down the service like is happening to servers for games on other systems. Seems way to risky for me personally.
Good month for me, love horizon chase on my phone and was contemplating getting the console version. I don't have a current football game so I am very happy with Pes as well.
Tbh the xbox game pass is great, I bought an xbox one s a few months ago to play forza and thanks to the game pass I haven't actually bought a single xbox game. If ps now had more up to date ps4 games then it would be worth having it especially now you can download the titles as the streaming didn't work well for me due to my Internet service.
This is the wookie planet with refineries all over it, it was never gonna look amazing but I imagine other levels will as they will have more detail and eye candy. Plus the star wars sets have always been a bit bland.
I would imagine as well that this is a demo of an earlier level in the game as it seemed quite tame in terms of enemy frequency and difficulty. Its hard to show that much of a story based game without spoilers abd obviously the game isnt finished but for me it looks good so far. And the settings of the films were always quite bland so obviously they need to be the same or similar in the games.
@Neolit it may be emulated but it still offers some games which is more than ps4 currently offers. My point wasnt to praise xbox it was to say hopefully Sony see its a good option to add.
E3 for me isn't the big thing it once was. Nowadays there are loads of different game shows and social media to show off their games. I will be giving it a miss again this year.
I have no interest in either title and like people have already said both could be bought for under £5 in sales recently. Seems a very poor line up from Sony, considering no ps3 or vita makes it even worse. Fair enough they are both considered good games but it feels like Sony taking with one hand and giving the finger with the other. Maybe they do it so people will buy days gone instead of playing the plus games, I wonder if this has happened when other big games launched.
I have lost all interest in this game and in my opinion it sounds like it will be boring and weird and is more of an interactive movie than a game. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't hold much hope.
I never got round to playing castlevania, I don't know why I just never played a single one so this is great because now I can get this and the other one that came out with symphony of the night and finally see what the fuss is about
