I was interested until I read that he's living alongside Yennefer at Corvo Bianco. It's supposed to be Triss. Duh! Can't believe they made such a mistake
I just finished my first playthrough an hour ago. It took me 110 hours, and the first 70 were just me desperately trying to get into Shadowheart's pants, and I'm not afraid to admit it. 10/10 game would recommend. I'm not sure how it stacks up against Alan Wake 2 as GOTY, though....
There's basically two paths-> you make the platinum a 2/10 difficultly, or you make it a 9/10 difficultly. For fighting games I feel like there's no in-between
I skipped the last entry, but loved WE2k22. I had never played a WWE game before and it played sooo well. I was really pleasantly surprised. Don't underestimate this game!
It really depends on the exact changes. Characters already had lone wolf playstyles supported by health packs on the map, so this may not be as big of a change as you might think. If it's out of combat healing with a delayed timer, it may as well be a way to help noobs heal who don't know health packs placements.
@Stragen8 Black Ops Cold War had individual adaptive triggers for every gun. After playing that and Astro's playroom I thought every game would have great dual sense features. Unfortunately I feel like that's one of the most lacking features in most releases now
That would be a pretty concerning delay in my opinion, since we're so close to release. Still, I'm always in favor of delaying it until you get the release as perfect as possible
@MiaowMinx Yeah, didn't expect someone else to understand this niche topic but you're absolutely right. My friends and I played a few times and we would just get hunted and murdered too quickly because the ghosts were more aggressive AND they had more clues + harder clues. I remember we had the ghost down to a few choices before 2/3 of us died, and we were convinced it couldn't have been Oni because we spent like 5 minutes trying to trigger I think spirit box and it never did. That was another frustrating change- ghosts were more lethal and clues were more arbitrarily elusive.
I played this game years ago with friends and it was great. Then it got some updates that kinda ruined the experience by making the ghosts extremely lethal. Hopefully when it gets released fully for more people it's in a good place.
For me the Spider-Man games just haven't done enough to really grab me in any aspect besides gameplay. And even then Spider-Man 2 commits the sin of not allowing me to play Venom for more than 10 minutes. Sad!
Resident Evil 4 is my second favorite Resident Evil game I've ever played. For me the remakes have completely outshined the mainline entries of 7+8. To some extent I bet it's because those games are first person, and I know people would rather play third-person resident evil games. Hopefully Re9 is 3rd person. And I think Resident Evil 5 remake is next, which is exciting to me. That's the first Resident Evil game I ever saw back on PlayStation magazine and it was enthralling.
I'm so glad Alan Wake 2 exists. It's always wonderful when you've played as many games as I have to experience something you can easily slot in your top 10 of all time list. I still feel giddy thinking about it! What an amazing game ♥️
Man, Humanity is so good and then it just fumbles what's fun completely with the dark humans. Idk I just was having so much fun and then that mechanic sucks so hard
Sammy the community notes on Twitter said "life in hospital" was inaccurate since he's actually there for an indefinite time pending yearly review that could let him out . Anyway I'm not sure your title is accurate
I put 200 hours into Nioh back in 2017 and loved it. Then I played Nioh 2 and it felt boring and dated. So I'm hoping that Sony guides this game to a point where when I pick it up I'm hooked all over again
I completed it today and was glad to see the Legacy ability and special skin unlock both carry over to the normal game's NG+ mode. I love the Legacy moveset
The best Christmas gift would be for Sony to same something, especially now they just officially cancelled one of my most anticipated games for the last 4 years. I'm in the dark place
@Realist I finished it over 2 weeks like a TV show a couple hours a night and that was before NG+ with extra content dropped! If you wait for physical I can only assume that would be a complete edition like a year+ from now...
How could they not work some sort of factions mode into Part 2 remastered I have no clue. They were working on it until what, 2019, and then since 2020? On the bright side, full steam ahead for Part III, which has the most impossible task of any sequel in any medium that I know. How do you one-up a one-up of perfect?
Guys please go support Alan Wake II. I don't really enjoy the first game's combat, but you need to watch a synopsis and go buy Alan Wake II. It is soooooo good
@Porco How can you be so extremely negative? it's a controller with a screen. How is selling out the product not an indicator of performance? Do you think Sony does no research on how many units it could sell?? It's probably the case they underestimated demand- because if they sold out it means there are now people who want it but can't get one. Every day its sold out is a missed opportunity for profit.
