And The Last of Us Part I shouldn’t be $70. I feel that some games should be priced more appropriately, there’s a lot of indies that are overpriced as well IMO. I would buy more games on day one if they were more reasonably priced, but as it is now I rarely find most games that come out to be worth their initial asking prices and wait to get them when they’re on sale or drop in price. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you explained, there was a ton of info on what TLOU remake was all about yet I ignored it really. Overall, I'm just mentally drained in general so I think I'm kinda going into games with my own expectations and not doing proper research.

At the end of the day it's not what WE think or anybody else. It's what YOU think that's all that matters and you don't owe me or anybody else any explanations. I know there's certain games I will buy day one full price (although there's fewer and fewer these days) and there's certain ones I know I'll buy but wait for a price drop. 70 bucks is a lot of money and like @Phaseknox some games should have tiered pricing. Not every game is worth 70 bucks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Sometimes you need a good AA Action fest. If the gameplay feels good and is tight, I'm cool at a sub $70 price. It looks fun to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: To add something more constructive, this looks a lot like God Of War '18 combat-wise actually. Not sure why I didn't notice that before. The pacing, the animation-heavy movement and all looks a lot like it to me. Not a bad thing, I enjoyed that combat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 A few more recent previews: Evil West Hands-On Preview: Refreshingly Old-School - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Quote The linearity of the stage I played was counterbalanced fairly well by the amount of nooks and crannies that were scattered around to find consumable items, money, or other collectables. I wasn’t particularly moved to search every inch of the stage in this demo, but I can see the more OCD gamer having plenty of boxes to check in a full release. Such straightforward design may seem out of step with today's forever games, but I really appreciated the focus on making the elements you can interact with feel vibrant and intentional. No, I can't “see the mountain in the background and climb it,” but each encounter feels handmade to create a specific sort of challenge, making it feel more like a deliberate puzzle than a happy accident. The small demo time I got with Evil West left me thirsty for more Old West vampire hunting. In a year that, somehow, finds three notable games set in a dark and haunted Wild West, Flying Wild Hog’s remains unique not just among its setting counterparts, but its genre contemporaries. Action is easy to get your head around quickly, but reveals new layers of depth and strategy with every new powerful upgrade, bizarre tool, and fanged foe. 'Evil West' preview: supernatural thrills de-fanged by repetition WWW.NME.COM Flying Wild Hog's upcoming shooter can be a pain in the neck Quote That being said, the demo started to feel very repetitive. The entire level boiled down to walking for a bit, surviving a few waves of vampires in a locked arena, and walking to the next arena to fight in. Between each scrap, there was the occasional bit of non-violent platforming to get through; but even this was fairly mundane as there’s no challenge or critical thinking involved – just running from one panel to the next and unlocking the way forward. Evil West‘s biggest strength – gory, chaotic vampire slaying – was diminished because of the level’s formulaic and repetitive design. Though Evil West‘s level design felt monotonous, we loved our previous hands-on at Gamescom – so it’s possible that this area in particular is just a bit of a dud. Undeniably, there’s a lot that Evil West gets right: beyond the fantastic combat, the Western-meets-vampires setting is brilliant and the demo ended with the promise of a very interesting story. If you want nothing more than to sic a six-shooter on vampires, it’s safe to assume that Evil West will deliver – but whether it will keep its fangs sharp throughout its 10-15 hour runtime is another question entirely. Evil West Final Preview: I Punched A Vampire So Hard It Exploded WWW.THEGAMER.COM Evil West has exceptional combat that brings elements together from all the best hack-n-slash games, but outside of combat, it feels somewhat dated. Quote There’s an inescapable double-A quality to Evil West, which I hate to use as a pejorative, but it will be compared to games like the earlier God of War and Devil May Cry. There aren’t a lot of linear action games like Evil West anymore, and it definitely feels like a PS3-era game. The example that sticks in my mind the most is a set piece moment where you’re riding in a train car down a broken track, shooting barrels to explode debris and button to switch lanes as you go. Instead of grappling onto a hook as you reach the end of the track to escape, it switches to a cutscene of the character doing exactly that. There are a lot of little moments like that that make it feel dated. It’s charming, for those of us who remember the likes of Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, but with Evil West launching just weeks after God of War Ragnarok, the comparison will certainly be unfavorable. I was sold on vampire hordes in the Old West, and I still am. My love for the combat far outweighs my concerns about, well, everything else, and I’m looking forward to smashing skulls and piling up some demon corpses this November. I’m also intrigued by the co-op option, which is not something I have seen in action yet, and it's not exactly a common feature for games like this. Hey, maybe that’s why the hero doesn’t have a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Another "final" preview: Evil West Final Preview – A brutal rollercoaster of vampiric delights WWW.THESIXTHAXIS.COM As we head ever closer to the much-awaited arrival of Evil West, we’ve had one more chance to go hands on with the game. Quote Evil West’s gameplay is thus far resolutely traditional in its third-person activities, as you collect cash, blow up TNT, smash open doors, push carts into the right place and throw switches. Hell, there’s even an on-rails mine cart section. It doesn’t feel remotely onerous though, and when the setting is so interesting and entertaining, and the combat is so utterly brilliant, that it’s not too much of a concern. Whether that plays out for the entirety of the game remains to be seen, but it doesn’t feel like Evil West will outstay its welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Idk. After really liking Gotham Knights even after all the awful reviews has really changed my thinking on previews and reviews in general. I think I should just go by what I know I'll like rather than looking at scores. Gaming is different now and reviews don't hold as much weight anymore. The complexity of games these days make them very difficult to review imo. I'm just rambling now. Anyway, I think I'm going to bite on this. I like that type of gameplay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
