The dog on the cover almost looks like AI

Miss out on what? Unity was a buggy mess on launch, skip, the British one was a snorefest. By the time of the reboots, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring and BotW already came out

I’ve played it for too many hours to count, but gave up at the higher difficulty due to the uncontrollable RNG, you do have to reroll seeds if you want to beat it . Not sure if they reduced the randomness somehow

Japanese publishers retain staff because every Japanese company does, they don’t pay as well but you get life time job stability. Capcom is on a roll, Sega still has RGG, Bandai Namco has Fromsoft. They have the chokehold on jrpgs. And finally Nintendo is still king

Yeah baby, let’s go! Hope they work out the rights for the 3rd one

That’s disingenuous, Starfield was universally critically panned.

I think Spyro was the first mainstream game to standardise achievements, you could do random stuff in-game and it gave you a little pop up, carried over to Ratchet and Clank and now every game has official achievements

It seems that the Tomb Raider success might have greenlit this

At the higher levels you realise the randomness is too much, not sure if they updated the starting rounds to have more player choice

Me: Mom can we have Ghost of Tsushima?

Mom: We have Ghost of Tsushima at home

Not even confident of beating an early access game

It’s Act 2. Just chill and enjoy the silliness and roam around. Or rush through it and try battles in hard mode

Since I don’t see it Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the best games ever made, and done by 1 guy

What’s the name of the game?

Could be cool as a new way to differentiate from AAA. One i for a solo dev, ii for a small team and iii for big indie devs

Opinion from someone not into live service games. I’ve played Destiny and found the story pushes you along, a lot of interesting set pieces and bosses and expansive world, but that’s on a whole different budget.

Helldivers gets the core gameplay there, but it’s very grindy. You essentially loop into a small flat world without any landmarks and use the mini map to head to the objectives. Which are mostly kill stuff. You interact with a console sometimes.

The meta game is just unlocking new weapons and costumes. You do get early taste of better weapons if you team up with higher level players

The game is most fun in a team, solo is good to learn the ropes but gets tedious quickly. There are no roles or tactics like in Deep Rock Galactic

Enemy variety at least for my brief time playing is very low, there are 2 archetypes, varying from small mobs to the standard armoured large dude or charging monster.

The tutorial is fantastic and hilarious but that type of writing isn’t brought up again.

I would say wait for more content patches. Vehicles, more enemy types, linear worlds or more interesting objectives would drive up the variety and replayablity

I think Dave the Diver and Against the Storm gave me carpal tunnel. Not sure how since I was probably more relaxed in Re4

It’s the new Daryl in France spinoff, escorting a young girl this time, wonder if she has the cure

It hides the best part behind the trailers. Trailers - walking simulator.

Real game. Hiking, offloading, mountain climbing, base building, rocket launches powered by human blood, sci fi/fantasy global events

Good point, but Returnal is on PC and you can play with mouse kB, Demon Souls is a remaster of something I played on PS3 which blew my mind then. And FF16 has mixed reviews. I’m more into FF7 part 2, but the complete dlc edition will eventually reach PC as well.
