I keep flip-flopping on this game. It looks beautiful and magical but far, FAR too easy. I’m hoping that levels they’re not showing are infinitely more challenging than what’s being shone here.
This is likely the only platform I would buy this on, to play sat on my coach on my OLED beauty. But only after that price drops a lot. I bet Rockstar is ready and prepared to play cowboy chicken with us in that department lol
Okay now I’m excited! Now it’s time to go back and finally beat the first game. That final boss… wowza… ☠️
And then the DLC!! Agh!!! And then…
🔥🔥🔥 ARMORED CORE 🔥🔥🔥
This is giving me Secret of Mana vibes with the party-based ARPG combat system. Looks like it has a good sense of humor too. Definitely seems like one to look out for!
0% because one of my third graders (rightfully) convinced me to actually finish Breath of the Wild first, so I’ve been (joyfully) clearing as much of it as possible this summer. Beat Calamity Ganon, and now just wrapping up shrines, leveling up gear, and finding those pesky Koroks. Such a fantastic game! I’d love to say I’ll start Tears of the Kingdom soon, but… 🔥🔥🔥 ARMORED CORE 🔥🔥🔥
Never finished RDR2, so I’d likely go back to that first. But I sincerely hope the game launches in a MUCH better stated than that unbelievably atrocious GTA port… wowza
Definitely a game that I love reminiscing about, and that lives in my memories as an absolute favorite. Actually playing it these days can be an exercise in tedium, but those memories will always be lovely! A beautiful RPG, and a true SNES favorite! 😍 Right there next to Earthbound and Chrono Trigger for me.
Pikmin 4 is my first Pikmin game, and I love it SO MUCH. I definitely would like to play 1 and 2 when I’m finished—gotta do my Pikmin history homework! 🌱
Have preordered Blasphemous II for Switch. But still playing Pikmin 4. And Tears of the Kingdom sitting on my shelf… unopened!!! And this little game called ARMORED CORE VI!!!! Never enough time…
Oatchi is very much a difficulty slider. If you don’t want him to be too OP (*very easy mode), just skip the pup drive upgrades. You can really fine-tune your game with your choice of upgrades and gear. As I play, I see an upgrade (or some gear) pop up, and I say, “Nah, that’s an OP game changer that I’d rather skip.” I really appreciate the dev’s choice to give us options in this game. I can certainly see “no gear/no drive” runs happening in P4’s future.
@Teksetter Devs said that they’re definitely releasing it physically, my guess is it’ll show up a few months after release. I won’t be buying it digitally at launch for that reason. Patience!
Already preordered my physical copy. Blasphemous is one of my favorite modern metroidvaniasoulslikes (yup), such an amazing, weird, creepy, and challenging game. I fully expect this to be more of the same, but that is A-okay when the “the same” is an absolutely incredible experience.
Punish me, baby!! ♟️⚰️💔
Based on completing the demo, and then restarting with a new character, it’s a 10/10 for me. Such a joyful game, relaxing but also challenging in just the right way. Performance is great, new graphics look awesome, just a fantastic game all around. Special shout-out to the folks naming the treasures…
skateboard = “personal injury device” lol amazing!! 🥰
Making instruction, or follow directions, “game-like” is a progressive, high-level teacher move. Major props to these intelligent and fun Japanese parents!
I don’t mind a more relaxed, slightly less challenging adventure! These days this is becoming more and more what I need. So many challenging, action-packed, gory adventures happening on my PS5 that I just burn out on because I feel stressed playing. Amazing games, but just too stressful…
Yup, relaxing sounds like what I need!
@GameOtaku I’m with you, I wish Xenogears would be at the very LEAST ported in some fashion to modern consoles—I don’t care which!! One of my all time favorite RPG’s, lost to the annals of history… 😢
It’s definitely time for a new Mega Man game. I’s love to see the series tackle the metroidvania genre, and produce a game where we explore a large, interconnected world, broken into the usual biomes, collecting powers that increase the arsenal, but also add additional movement abilities. It’s a genre that’s currently a bit oversaturated, but we’ve not seen it done Mega Man style before (that I’m aware of), and it could be a truly amazing experience. Hollow Knight, but MEGA MAN!!!
Pikmin was a game I just never got around too, despite how interesting it always looked to me. Played the demo for 3 and enjoyed it a lot. Just finished the demo for 4 last night, and absolutely loved it. I enjoyed the new gear and upgrade elements, and the dog adds a fun extra layer. The graphics look really nice too, and it performs well overall. I can see everyone’s complaints about the handholding and excessive dialogue, but I’m sure that will drop off once everything is introduced. I already preordered a while ago, but as a first-time Pikmin plugin I am beyond excited. I think I need to play 1 to warm up before July 21!
Haven’t finished the demo, but really enjoyed what I played. I wish the character creator was more robust, but not the end of the world. The new camera is great, and the graphics look gorgeous. Overall I was happy with what I played. Excited to finish the demo later!
PS—you can press + through literally all the dialogue and cutscenes if you so choose, and extend your demo playtime. 😉
Sub-Zero would make sense bc he could use his freeze attacks; would make for a fun character to play. And no harpooning other players… Obviously, there would be no fatalities… (unless you put the super-secret code in 🤫)
