I learned how to (poorly) use the bow I found in the garage of the place we moved into as a kid thanks to Turok. Play some Turok than shoot some cans in my backyard. Was never good at the cerebral bore irl though.
Just the first game? Aren't all three on Switch2 now? That would he a cool collection with the trilogy since hendheld with gyro is absolute peak when it comes to these games, or any that have 1 shot takedowns, as its just so satisfyingly immersive to aim that way.
Sony forgets you need to have good software to sell hardware.
I see people complaining the Steam Machine isnt a good deal. Did they ever stop to think that was never their master plan? But by releasing, Valve spawns copy cats and competition, which even if people buy those others alternatives...guess where they end up buying their games from? You guessed it, Valves Steam storefront.
Genius Gabe, miles ahead while Sony and Xbox play fumbleball back and forth trying to enter the fastly growing PC market.
Thanks to Steam for a total of $45 I picked up:
Resident Evil 7 + All DLC
Resident Evil Village + All DLC
Monster Hunter Worlds
Binding of Isaac + All DLC
Edge of Eternity
Beseige
Barony
Dishonored + All DLC
Plagues Tale: Innocence
Hot Line Miami
Orbital Bullet
Felt like a dang thief checking out my cart lol. Plus I ended up getting a rare foil trading card for the summer sale which I sold off for a $1.50 return. Noice.
@StewdaMegaManNerd Its only odd because you've been conditioned to believe old first party games shouldn't get cheaper like they've done since forever. Its odd its not on sale for like $10 all the time, actually.
@SuntannedDuck2 You write an entire essay trying to prove you're smarter than the reviewer yet...you put..."Disagree, I haven't played the game".. lmao. What are you even doing with your life dude?
Its going to be super interesting for the future humans to dust off the rubble and find all our weird plastic trinkets to try and make sense of how we lived.
I was just wondering what happened to this game yesterday. I put some serious time in the Patapons, especially 3, that one was so good, which is weird it wasn't included in the re-releases.
Graphics have peaked and wont get any better. A new gimmicky waggle stick wont really have any impact. Virtual reality has died out yet again on its 5th failed attempt to break into mainstream.
Kinda confused as to what they think theyre doing over there. We simply want good games without the devs personal beliefs plastered in them, it ain't hard people.
This never even felt like a Final Fantasy game to me besides the characters over use of belts as accessories.
Just really doesnt have that same charm the rest do and the cast is..very forgetable.
@garfreek Guessing you never played the original. 80% of the trilogy is filler (the first one is closer to 99% filler) or changed from the actual real OG game.
Sega just hoping on Nintendo fans to be so used to the abuse of Switch tax that they figure they can get away with this. Probably right too, as the few angry people here make up a very small portion of the consumer herd.
I feel like a lot of pairs of rose-tinted glasses are going to get shattered upon trying to play Tekken in 2026. Those first attempts of going from pixels to 3d models were not kind to the fighting genre.
@SoIDecidedTo Popular arcades couldn't exist in today's social climate. They'd be open markets for the unsavory types amogst us.
Facts for those of us with working eyes. Or lets play devils advocate and its not AI (it is), that means they have an artist who manually drew one hand with four fingers and one with five. That dude needs fired. Except that dudes name is AI.
Someone should tell them that stop motion requires actual physical models to do. I don't know what that is, but its not stop motion. Looks more like "hey Grok, make this look stop motion".
Definitely one of the best five bucks I've spent in awhile, even if V does suck to play as and having to fight the same boss over and over is very repetitive. Its almost TOO complicated with its mechanics though, especially with the character swapping. As soon as you get the feel of one character, you're abruptly playing somebody else again.
Also they made me buy UMvC3 just so I could play as Trish since she barely gets screentime in this sadly.
I tried to like it since I was a fan back in the day but it just felt too dated for me to get into. Maybe too much micromanaging of items to get me hooked.
Shoutout to Epic for giving us this trilogy for free. They do nothing else right.
Super weird about the gyro being limited to the inventory, hopefully they fix that. Loved replaying them on my Ally where you can set the gyro for ANY game you want, made it so immersive popping off bow headshots.
Weird they go after PalWorld, which holds barely any similarities to Pokemon games outside of catching monsters, yet stuff like this is A-okay with Nintendo?
Or they just knew PalWorld was going to set the new standard they could never catch back up to and viewed it as a serious threat, whereas this game is nothing to them since its just another samey ripoff?
You will never play a new original idea again and you will replay old games endlessly with a smile and forget there was once a thing called passion and innovation in the hobby!
That trilogy is peak stealth action gaming. Sadly by the third one, they've got yellow paint all over and Lara telling herself the same lines every 5 seconds so you, the dumbie gamer, can understand what to do.
Still though, best $0 I ever spent on a trilogy (thanks Epic Store, youre good for one thing, free games).
Seems rather dumb and pointless of them to wait like three days just to show it at their own direct and be like "LOOK!" even though the cats out of the bag already.
But...nobody said they make smart decisions either.
I only buy fighting games like years down the road when theyre only a couple bucks just so I can button mash the CPU, so maybe one day I'll get this just for Tifa.
One thing I don't miss from the ps2 era is that super bland hero design that was in so many games. They nailed that bland look with the hero, intentional or not. The rest looks decent.
@SlowPokemon Yeah its more frustrating than fun. I think once there's a mod to add a map ill give it another go, but aimless wandering isnt for me anymore, especially with the dark souls mechanic of needing to slog back there just to get your stuff back.

Re: Persona Is Reportedly Getting A "Live-Action" Netflix Adaptation
They won't be happy until they've turned everything you love into a laughable steaming pile of live action slop. Yes, they.
Take a look at that new Avatar live action that makes Shamalamas version look like a masterpiece in comparison.
