One of the worst shows of all time (imho obviously, so nobody go crying about it). I have a hard time suspending my disbelief when there are such unrealistic speech patterns.
Same reason why Shakespeare being done by bad actors is impossible for me to enjoy, whereas when done by people who make it sound conversational make it feel realistic and relatable.
lol yeah they’re getting threats, and they’re sticking to their guns. Right. Sounds more like a little controversy to boost sales to me. I ain’t buying that game anyway, though it’s because of the walking animation that makes me think they’ve never observed people in stride, rather than the body proportions that make me think they’ve never observed women whatsoever.
@Andy_Witmyer Great effort was put into making Divinity II engrossing and deep, which I can wholly appreciate. However, it is -IMO- über generic by Western RPG standards. I’m not saying it’s a garbage game... I’m just saying it doesn’t feel unique in aesthetic, gameplay or content. What’s there is plentiful and I’m sure there are lots of people who love that type of stuff- but that’s just the problem, I can say “that type of stuff” and people will likely understand what kind of “stuff” I’m referring to. Sorry I wasn’t clear in that first comment.
I feel like “performance problems” are becoming a staple of Switch releases of multiplatform games. Hell, companies that don’t have them should put it on the box as a bullet point. Just imagine: “A FTP open-world metroidvania roguelite FPS battle royale with no performance problems!”
Oh my goodness. The camp, the thirst, the undoubtedly split personality leading to neither dating sim nor metroidvania being fully fleshed out... and yet...
The remake here is terrible... the original aesthetic is a large part of what set it apart from the competition. I mean, could you imagine if there were a remaster of Silent Hill 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360 where they just removed all of the fog? Right, Konami?
Its obviously a rhythm-based visual novel about the events leading up to the world ends with you featuring characters you never see in the game and ending with a twist that works in contradiction to the events of the game, as well as a poorly implemented pachinko mini-game where you can unlock crappy deviant art furries of the cast of the visual novel- but not the game proper. That’ll be 49.99, please.
@JimmySpades Was that a subtle dig at The Catcher in the Rye? I mean I agree, but what an unexpected target.
@rockodoodle I appreciate the rec, but I really don't enjoy the perspective. I've had a hard time playing them since I was a kid. Like the original 2 GTA games- just couldn't get into it.
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure that enthusiasts don’t care, but... why does this genre still exist? Even back in 93 when I had a Genesis, top-down racers were stupid af. Pseudo-3d racers (like Road Rash, or Outrun) were where it was at. I just can’t wrap my brain around why people keep pumping this stuff out.
@Zuljaras i don’t think the game is necessarily bad, even though I do, I just don’t understand how someone can’t see how outclassed it is by a variety of other Metroid games.
Zelda II is my personal favorite of the series, though botw takes a close second place. I never understood the hate that z2 got. It was phenomenally more fun to play, with a bigger world and tighter combat than the first.
Edit: no matter this game looking janky, it intrigues me enough to give it a go when it releases.
@Kabloop i won’t. I’m not in the mood to play through what is obviously a losing battle. It’s like watching rogue one... no thank you. I get enough tragedy irl i don’t need it in my escapism.
See? That's why I had what someone referred to as a "hissy fit" or some such in another article. This is genuine, grade-A bolsheviks. Hard, hard pass.
EDIT: I bought Panzer Dragoon Saga back in 98 for $25, and had it until 2017 when I sold it for $600. 19 years. Playable the entire time. Screw cloud gaming.
Those last two questions tells you that this guy doesn't really give a sith about the Switch. Cloud gaming just allows them to get more money for much less of an investmen. Remedy can shove it right back up their mudhole. I won't even buy this on PS4, now. On principle.
Boooooo take your cloud gaming elsewhere. I go full digital but that stuff is on a card that i can back up and keep forever. I refuse to go down this road.
@NicheAbou I have it for PS4, and while it's alright, the story just doesn't suck me in. I feel almost no investment in finishing the story, other than "I wonder what monster is up next?" or "How do I get a better weapon?" Just my two cents.
