Over the course of my hour-long demo, a lot of my consideration is on the little things. If a Griffin elects to take off, you can totally jump on it and grab it – and actually be carried across the map with it. Before, you’d be shaken off, but the sense of scale now means that you can soar above the land. Your AI-controlled Pawn companions talk more – not just to you with their nattering about the world and what’s going on, but also to each other, praising and bickering in a way that makes the party of adventurers feel alive.

I always thought the series was gonna move forward in time past Valhalla, maybe a medieval European setting or medieval Japan. I feel like Ubi is out of touch with what the fans wanted and this ain’t it. Not sure why one would even play this when we have AC Origins.

My scrub ass is getting washed by archbishop whatever the fuck in ch 4

Flamberge arm plus flame buff on your weapon (preferably a fast weapon) absolutely destroys this boss.

Well shoot. I was really looking forward to this. I blame EA.

Man, how bad did Callisto Protocol fail to already be on PS Plus. lol

I wonder if this happens to others, but I seem to either be in a games & movies rotation, or television and reading. For some ridiculous reason, my wife and I have started rewatching Malcolm in the Middle - so I thought I’d have Zelda on the go at the same time. It just didn’t have any stickability with me, same for any Switch games or really anything on the PS5. 
 

The good news (if it’s even that) is that around December the cycle will shift and it’ll be all games and movies. 

I usually go through this about once a year, usually during the late spring and summer months. But most of the time the AAA games hit in the Fall / Winter months and into the Holiday season and my interest piques again. October of this year is absolutely packed with games. Spiderman 2, Forza, Assassin’s Creed, a new Mario Game etc…just crazy. 

I’m having an unexpectedly pretty good time with this. Most everything seems pretty straightforward. But I have no idea how P Organ  works. I put points into an extended dodge and an extra consumable but have no idea how to activate them. 

I’ve played about 3 hours so far and liking it. I’m really not paying attention to reviews or negative feedback. I’m just playing however I want and learning all the mechanics and stuff myself without help from the internet…for now. So far it’s just… fun. 

Awww man am I too late?? I’m going with 55 but if it’s too late that’s cool.

I remember playing the first one almost a year after it released. My reaction was pretty much why…in the world… haven’t I played this game yet?? I then proceeded to put like 50 hrs into it. Capcom really doesn’t have to do much to make a sequel successful. I’ll definitely be looking forward to this one. 

From the IGN review:

Quote

When I discovered that so much of space flight is effectively a series of non-interactive cutscenes, it largely shattered the illusion of exploring a vast universe. It’s impossible not to compare Starfield to the way you freely enter and exit planets’ atmosphere in No Man’s Sky, so it’s a bit of a letdown every time you see a planet and remember it’s just a picture of a planet you’ll never be able to reach by flying toward it. It’s something that happens a lot.

That literally sounds like something out of the PS1 era

Back on Miles Morales. It’s a good game, but games like this come across as gamified movies to me. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but there’s a reason why I’ll think about Tears of the Kingdom in 10 years time and mostly won’t remember I’ve played this.

 

Update: so I finished the game. I think the brevity supports it (to the point where I could play this type of game in an episodic manner). It’s a good game, does it make me excited for Spiderman 2? Not really. But, if it comes to PS+, I’ll play it I’m sure.

Spiderman 2 will probably get stellar scores and be critically acclaimed. And I nearly platinum’d Spiderman. That being said, I’m not really excited at all for the sequel. Forcing me to constantly switch between two playable characters is just about a game breaker for me. I was pretty annoyed with those parts of the first one as well. But the game did so much right I gave it a pass. But the sequel seems to entirely focus on switching between characters and I’m just not ok with that at all.

So how is everyone enjoying this after a little bit of the dust has settled?

 You’re trying so hard not to talk yourself into buying this game 

We pay a monthly fee for the service. Let’s be real, Sony ain’t giving away a dang thing. lol

edit: And they’re about to go way up on their monthly price across all tiers, despite the Playstation brand continuing to profit. Nothing like a middle finger to the very people keeping your company fiscally afloat. 

Greedy PUNKS. 

I always spare Patches, like every single play through. So…yea. 

I’m all up in this. And bruh should have flown Qantas

Today I learned this game is coming out Friday. What the heck man, totally slipped my radar. I’ll be following this thread for impressions. But I’m pretty sure I’ll get it anyways despite you noobs complaining about the difficulty 

Edit: And I second that Mechassault reboot.  Playing that game online back in the day were some of the best times I’ve ever had. Slaying fools with overpowered Ragnarok never got old. LOL

I'm even completely bored at work! I've litteraly sat at my computer for 7 hours straight replying to 3 emails. My life has no meaning when I don't have a game to play.

 

I'm completely stumped here in what game I should play and beat before 9/6. 

 

Help me out and list your top 5 games from last year and this half year. I think I've played every AAA but there might be a gem I'm overlooking. 
 

 

Bruh

If you’re listing PS4 games, then RDR2 is still the king in my opinion. Then Horizon 2, Demon Souls after that. The rest of your list looks pretty good. That being said, Demon Souls remake still has a special place for me with how good the game looks and runs soooo smoothly. 

It was just a re-skin of all the AC games anyway. And too much map vomit. lol

But seriously, this looks like every other AC game that's currently available. What am I not seeing?

This is the same board that some people used to complain about the spoiling of review scores, let alone story points in 11-year old video games.

RDR2 ought to be lower! It looked nice and the story was good, but I think they forgot they were making a game! The controls and glitchiness were on another level of bad.

Yep. It’s eye candy but that’s about it. I don’t recall ever being as bored out of my mind playing a video game. It’s definitely gorgeous though. 

 “Few years off” LOL. Has next gen even started for Microsoft?? Good lord.
