@FullMetalWesker Totally skipped that part when i read it all sleepy-eyed lmao. Tbh tho I'd agree with your analysis. Tomb raiders 1-3 kinda haven't aged all that well imo. Frustrating controls and annoying jumps you have to make with them kinda ruined them for me. Tomb Raider 2013 was quite good even back on PS3.
@Elektrogeist1287 It is a walking simulator. Good for people who like walking sims, but you can do much better in the same genre with things like Edith Finch or Tacoma.
I played it when it came to PS5. It was a solid update of those games, but it made me realize I didn't really have much passion for these games. They were a fun "haunted house simulator" but not much more. Still worth playing once I'd say if you like walking simulators and horror.
Yayy! My partner walked in while I was playing this and told me to pause on it until we could play it together, then Switch 2 came out and we never got around to playing it. Thanks for letting us know!
@MrCarlos46 Whoops! It was actually port specialist Shiver Entertainment, who ported Mortal Kombat 1 and Hogwarts to Switch who were acquired. Panic Button did DOOM/Eternal Thanks for the correction!
I highly doubt she's gonna run into Leon or Claire or anything. It's probably just gonna be an RCPD cop or something. Of course, the big characters often end up coming back even when we least expect it, like in the end of RE7
That's sad, I would hope the rest of the park has enough to do for people with accessibility issues to entertain themselves the whole trip. This wouldn't be an issue in a large park where there's plenty more to do, but if it's literally half the park they can't visit, that's not insignificant
I just wanted to slip in to say GO GIRL! Love to see when the people I look up to (that's you, NL) are allies. Congrats on doing the bare minimum and not being awful people.
No wayyyy I literally JUST bought Split Fiction lmao. Tbh tho the fun that my partner and I will have is well worth the full price of admission so I'll concede.
I love this game on PS5! I was so excited to see it coming to a bigger audience but... not like this. I think this is finally the push I need to go finish the game in an afternoon or something
I loved Mad Max Fury Road, which was an action movie with very little chatter. If Link doesn't talk, I hope this is also treated like an action movie with very little chatter. That would be sick.
@Lady_rosalina Thrillville was awesome. I just brought my old ps2 copy out for a little fun the other day, but the coasters being limited to "this is where you get to build your coaster, and you can't move it" was kind of disappointing. The mini games were incredibly fun though.
It looks... exactly how I imagined. I think I'd prefer genuine areas on this globe than Minecraft Movie-style sets. It works for some movies but this idea and casting feels more fitted to like, a Princess Bride type of adventure
Played this on Switch 1 right after finishing Yakuza 0. Highly recommend it; while I prefer 0 and specifically Goro Majima pre-goofy-arc, I had a blast playing this and it was perfect for gaming on the treadmill, oddly enough.
Wow! It's already here! I made my game purchase this month already as my partner and I want to play Split Fiction, but at least I definitively know what I'm getting next month. Let's FREAKING go.
If y'all want to boycott Game Key Cards but still want to play the game, you can just buy the card secon-hand on eBay for a discount later on. Just an idea, that's what I'm doing - not to send a message, but to save some cash vs digital.
@Potimarron I know someone kinda said this already, but Metroid has always been a huge homage to Alien (chock-full of suggestive architecture). Ridley (Scott), Mother Brain, a female protag, I'm guessing the H.R. Gieger influence leaked into this game quite a bit.
I'm a day one transitioner and I've been surprised how even the mix of games is between the two consoles. I played Yakuza 0, then Kiwami, a bit of Quake every day, Cyberpunk, some Klonoa... it really is as if the two game libraries have come together as one big library. Kinda reminds me of when I got the PS5.
Anyone else notice how Nintendo Life has had more annoying ads since being acquired by IGN? Are we all just the slowly-boiled frog in here? Is anyone else seeing this?
@user0 I'm going to guess this team is at work on Splatoon Raiders and when that launches it'll be full steam ahead on AC. I'll bet they already have a new AC in development, but they've been busy since 2022 with Splatoon 3 and now Raiders. I'm okay with waiting.
Yayyyy! But I'm still gonna use my Switch 1 for it because that's the console I have two docks for and I mostly watch it on my secondary TV before bed.
I'm glad to hear about the goofy loadout. Boomer shooters live-and-die by their weird weaponry. If I wanted an old-school shooter with basic guns there are numerous free DOOM WADs out there. Quake is a perfect example of unusual weapons making a fun experience out of an otherwise redundant gameplay loop.
One of the greatest games I've played in my life is Sayonara Wild Hearts. Lorelei is great but may be a bit out of my patience-for-puzzles range. I absolutely want to get this collection so I can try Device 6 and their other works, too! How fun!
I've heard so much about Ball x Pit but maybe I'll watch a Vinesauce stream and maaaybe pick it up if it doesn't look like one of those "really really hard" games.
Edit: it looks like a really really hard game.
I don't think what Halo needed was a full remake tbh. I'd have played them with the chunky graphics. Though I guess they might be able to fix some of the color issues from the MCC, so I guess that's cool.
Every trailer for this game looked exactly the same to me. I always imagined the "Legends" sub-series being a lot different, a lot more focused on exploration, a bigger focus on the open worlds than this. Instead they were able to show the entire game in the first trailer... Entirely devastating
@Expa0 I'm kinda hoping this is one reason they've been priming us on Gameshare for so long and so consistently "you can gameshare on Switch 2 or Switch 1 family of systems" maybe they don't need to sell most families anything if they've got a couple Switch Lites kickin' around in the couch cushions.
Wow, Switch 1 version holds up surprisingly well. I'm not playing ZA, holding out for a true open world Legends game, one that doesn't take place completely in one area. Still, pretty nice that the company known for abysmal Switch 1 framerates actually pulled through on their Switch 1 swansong.
I remember around this time in the 3DS's life I was like "man, I'm tired of flying around and playing as a submarine. Just give me a game where I can go on an adventure." So I literally bought Lego Pirates because I was tired of waiting for Zelda. I hope to never feel that again and I'm pretty pleased with S2's lineup so far.
This may be my first Assassin's Creed since AC4. I feel like it fell off a bit at Unity and Rogue, but I hear these newer ones are alright if not a bit bloated.
