By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe only thing I wonder about Forbidden West is if it'll get praise for the stuff everyone was shitting on Ass Creed: Valhalla for (endless open world side quests). I thought Valhalla's open world and side quests were generally fine/fun, so I wouldn't complain about the same in FW, but many seemed to dislike it.Only Zelda(and soon to be Elden ring) get that pass
running from one light source to the next in the streets at night just so I could continue playing Pokemon Yellow on my GBC is a sweet memory
My biggest issue with Valhalla was how it just actively discouraged you from trying new things with its weapon system that demanded you pour resources into things before even trying them. Asgard was awful too. And the leveling system was incredibly strung out....
Would definitely club seals again tho if they add some additional features with the next season of stuff

On the subject of Pokemon, has anyone here played any of the fan made stuff like Pokemon Insurgence or Pokemon Unbound? I've been playing Unbound on and off for the past few weeks and it's been pretty great so far. Can't really say if the story will be any good, and I can only remember the first ~400 Pokemon so I keep getting trashed by these dudes I have never seen before, but man if it isn't great to play a Pokemon rpg with actual difficulty and basic QoL features
Yeah, I enjoyed the sidequests in Valhalla, but hated the story and the main freeing kingdoms over and over and over again.

Think they hired a bunch of Witcher 3 folks? Their direction seems to be much more that way and much less… that boring ass shit.
Remember when the Valhalla reviews went on about how they'd stripped back all the filler? Weird one.

Lads, Pokemon is an annual series, how tf do you run out of Pokemon to start playing fan made stuff on top?
But yeah, Disso strikes me as a lad who would play Pokemon fan games (not judging m9. You have your fun).

By inky Go To PostLads, Pokemon is an annual series, how tf do you run out of Pokemon to start playing fan made stuff on top?Other than DP and XY, I've not played any of the recent releases or re-releases. I've emulated a few of the older games on my phone and wanted something new, but didn't have enough power for the 3DS releases so I tried Unbound. It's nice. Couldn't imagine playing BDSP with how apparently mediocre it is compared to the features I've gotten used to with this

It’s really damn cool and better than most (all?) of the Pokémon stuff Nintendo puts out.

Something about Horizon, I just have zero interest in it
I remember turning on the first game, and the cutscene at the start was trying to explain character origin or just plot, and I turned it off.
Fortnite, Fifa, Chess and Rocket League have ruined my attention span for games. I just want to go in and play. I don't want to hear about stories that are level with Hollywood C/D grade movies. Only Kojima can save story modes.
Maybe I've grown impatient

Instant gratification doesn’t lend itself to story telling, and if what you seek in games is competition with other people you might end up playing Fortnite…

I’m just glad I no longer spend most of my gaming time on football games or shoot bang boom with the buddies. Done with that shit.

These games are so simple yet so involved it's just incredible to me. Like, it took me years to finally finish Pokeyman X, and that was just getting through the story and catching one of the post-game legendary pokemons (Articuno) to beat the endgame bosses. For the people who play this stuff seriously that's like the tutorial. There's breeding and training and getting the perfect nature and stats and shinies... whew.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostBut they lack animal abuse
Oh yeah that is a no go for me then
By s y Go To PostLeapfrogged rdr2 for open world facial animations
Holy uncanny valley.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostI can think of a few pokemon like rpgs with actual difficultyGoing back to this, I hope they re-release the Pokemon strategy game. It was so good but rare af now if you want an actual copy.
But they lack animal abuse
By Yurtlicious Go To PostzaboooooooooooDef gonna finish it tomorrow.
Barely a game, even by barely a game standards. It's certainly an experience though, and a titillating one at that, especially in HDR and with a quality set of speakers. Must hit that much harder, if you're enhanced. I think you should check it out, Yurtnik, possibly when it's goes free.
The shredding mechanic is cool and all, but they could've done so much more with it.
Ff12 is gorgeous. Legit impressed at this opening city/town. The architecture, number/variety of npcs, the atmosphere. They nailed the lively town setting way better than ff7r.
Everything else..........

By DY_nasty Go To Postcongrats sy you've seen the best part of the game.voice acting and dialogue is good too. wild how bad it is in kingdom hearts and ff7
don't @ me pb
By s y Go To PostVanguard is a top 3 COD. why do people hate on itcos it's COD lol
By Old King Rob Go To PostIf it wasn't for Fifa and Madden I don't see how EA would even exist anymore. All their studios are garbage. DICE killed Battlefield. BioWare killed Mass Effect. Dragon Age, Anthem. Did nothing with the Star Wars license and that shit is easy moneyThe Sims makes bank I think
Only good thing EA did for this world was fund Josef Fares.
Star Wars did well for them too didnt it? and there's a lot more coming I think?
F1 too, and I am sure the next Mass Effect no matter how bad it will be, sells too.
F1 too, and I am sure the next Mass Effect no matter how bad it will be, sells too.
Star Wars sold like 10 million+ and Apex is their biggest shooter. Pretty much why Respawn is now in charge of everything.
All their Bioware shit peaks at like 5-6m.

Really? Damn, I thought ME sold well lmao.
But yeah, respawn now in charge of developing boring ass star wars games. Congrats lads.

finally found the full 4k images.
-texture and npc model quality is wow. They really improved on the eyes.
-LOD distance seems real nice. Guessing this takes the biggest hit in the 60fps mode and PS4 version.
-the markings that highlight the climbable surfaces look straight out of Death Stranding.
-Foliage looks good in motion, could look better though. Ratchet's foliage also was unimpressive.
-horizon's got some of the busiest art direction. I don't get lost visually but I can see why some complain about it. especially the tribal character design.
-I actually don't mind the rim lighting during gameplay, it's very noticeable during cutscenes. They're going for something more stylish but I don't think it works well considering they're almost always surrounded by natural light.
-It is much harder to light things with natural light though, ND hoards the best lighting artists.
-cloud porn everywhere
sygital foundry channel launches soon.

Pretty close to the end of Jedi Fallen Order now and it's decent. Camera issues and rigid animations can make the combat feel a little bit unresponsive at times but it's solid enough that most of the time you're getting fucked up, it's because you're playing badly. Wish the bosses were a bit more interesting though.
It's just decent. Enough to make me interested in the sequel but not enough to say it'd be a day 1 type of game. Cal is annoying as fuck though. But what can you expect with a dude named Cal.
