Most critics grade on things that aren't very important to me. I think the most fun I've had with movies are ones with low critic scores and high audience scores. I'll take that over the opposite any day of the week.
I give it bonus points for being a new high production value IP. It's almost rare these days but you can see how much people are starving for something that isn't a remake or the 29th installment in a long running series. It almost takes a company with Capcom's resources to take that risk, though
From what I'm hearing, it's a very short game. Which might be good for some people, but I don't know if I can justify retail for a game I can finish over a weekend. I'm going to play it but don't think I'll be throwing out 6 bills for it
Wow, that seems like an early review. Was kind of wondering if this would be over-hyped. Good to know it's on point.. (on top of that I took a drink after every mandatory mention of game key card in the comment section. Now I'm going to need a ride home and I'm sitting in my house typing this)
@SillyG IF I had one complaint about MH Stories 3, it's this. DLC, and season passes are fine, you don't have to buy them, but locking a side story of a major character behind a paid DLC seems a bridge too far.
Over hyping a game before launch is as bad as seeing flaws before a launch. One side of that got us Crimson Desert and the other never saw Pokopia coming.
@Jhon_Moreira Got to stay edgy. I don't think they are going to win this GKC battle. Not if a vast majority of average homes that buy and play games have zero idea, or care, what a game key card is.
@Rhaoulos She looks like a witch on the PS5 Pro. Can't spoil it because I've only played 45 minutes of it, but the captive girl in basement, looks a lot like her.
I feel like any desire to buy this would stem from nostalgia. Just like nostalgia, you rarely get that original feeling of the first-hand experience you are recalling.
@Bizzyb I hope that is what is going on. Never seen this bad of a reception to ANY Yakuza game. I even opted for my monthly game purchase to be DQ VII reimagined because all of the bad publicity on this game. Regardless, I'll pick it up, just not this month
@Mabelissimo I was so disappointed that MKW didn't have a proper story mode. I've missed that aspect ever since Diddy Kong racing. Granted it has an exploration mode but one that I consider, under-baked
Still waiting for a mainline Mario game on Switch 2. When I bought the Switch 2, I didn't know the 2 meant now you'll now be able to play Switch 1 games on 2 consoles. Pretty crazy to release a new console with no mainline Zelda or Mario.
So glad to be an early adopter. I bought some a 2tb SSD stick to upgrade my D drive, mid last year. Haven't even got around to imaging the old one and swapping it out. That thing is sitting on my shelf in the den just growing in value.
Seemingly to completely blame Nintendo for this, is rich. Having said that, if you want to see an image of a dildo, they are pretty easy to find online.
Do I have to shove my face into the device with itsitting on a table? I remember eons ago a test unit at Ebgames, Babbages, or whatever they were before Gamestop came along. It was a cool experience but can't imagine long playing times in that mode.
I have fond memories of working 2nd shift in a healthcare industry and coming home and firing the original up on my Playstation. They never quiet captured that same magic again.
