I should try and finish Atomfall but wasn't really my sort of thing. Found it quite sparse and annoying at times. I'm sure it might get better if I stick with it.
Even if he completed every game 100% (1000gp) that's still 10,000 games you have to play. Since I first started gaming on the mega drive I'm probably not even at 1000 games played. Obviously most of these games will be shovel on only about an hour long but still. I don't see it as an achievement. Quite the opposite. He could have used all that time and money to do something constructive and better himself. Instead gamed his life away for some digital numbers on a screen.
@Mr-Cage It starts a little slow and a prequel to the other two games. Gameplay is different and is more a mix of tomb raider and Senua. I really enjoyed the story and game play. Fight mechanic is probably it's biggest down side but luckily it's not a major part of it. Also when it comes to the puzzles. They might seem like using the same sort of puzzle is lazy. However there is actually a reason for the puzzles being like that. Enjoy.
@Balaam_ I'm just saying a game can seem nice but the actual game is not. I have seen many games hard hit by reviews but they are actually good. Then you have the games that got reviewed well demos but the final product was *****. I have loved through many generations of games. If the gameplay is terrible what's the point. The worst gameplay trailers are just people walking through a scene. Yes it looks pretty but what actually is it?
Is anyone really surprised. Optical drives are old tech. Why would people continue to manufacture them? They don't make VHS players anymore and I wonder why?
I'm about half way through. Really enjoying it. It's not the same as the other two. The only game I can say it is like play wise is tomb raider (which I love) combat isn't the best but it's not a key mechanic in the game. Story is really interesting so far. I think it's a good addition to plague tales. People need to remember this is nothing to do with the original games l. Completely different story set 15 years before the others following the character Sophia who you meet in Requiem. Edit: have just finished. I also found it had a bit of Senua to it which I also liked
My Series S makes practically no noise. I have to put my ear against the vent to hear anything. Granted afterwards I have to go to the hospital as I've just melted my ear off.
Still haven't managed to get past the intro. Just can't get into. Just doesn't make me feel like continuing. It's a shame as I do want to like it. I'm going to have to try and force myself to get past the beginning and hopefully it then pulls me in
Not going to read the comments but will involve you don't own the game (which even on disc you don't it's a validated license) the moan, moan, moan it's not going to change just accept it and move on. Physical media is dead and other mediums have accepted it. I have been going since cartridge days. Most babies moaning have never seen it. It will happen, it is happening, it was always going to happen. Deal with it. Having to deal with this ***** for the next 2 years is going to be painful.
Love the comments. When there is a mildly good line up, people go off on one saying GP is $h1t and they are going to get rid of it. Then all of a sudden oh there are some good games this time and everyone is yeah GP you amazing. You can't have brilliant games every time. Obviously people expect that it should be but that's living in a dream world
Physical has gone. People won't accept it. You watch Netflix and listen to Spotify. It's another medium that has gone digital. It was going to happen. It's now going to happen. You can complain as much as you like. Nothing will change. They are closing the factory it's done
It's quite simple really. Resources are being eaten up by AI and the lack of minerals for the components. The reason trump is after Greenland and the UK is going for Africa. The real question.....What happens when it's all gone? It will be silicone. It is an easy replacement for metal but requires a structure which I'm sure they can make out of something
Like everyone else here I was hoping for a single player. Yet in the back of my mind I knew it would be a multiplayer as that's all companies care about nowadays. The epic story driven games are far and few between.
@Banjo- Yep. People still think it started in 2020. Those that don't actually look into the information and just think the first thing are the facts. I will buy it and love it because I trust the Devs have a passion. The game could look like a PS2 game and I wouldn't give a s**t.
@themightyant it's been only about 4 years since they started making this game ignore the 2020 trailer the game wasn't even in development then it was a concept trailer
Don't see the point of these comparisons. It's like comparing a Fiat Punto to a Ferrari. (I have the Fiat Punto) They both do the same thing but one is better than the other. It's got going to be the S is going to have better FPS and graphics than the X so what's the point comparing. Between the X and PS5 yes it makes sense.
@ritztoruin That's cool I drive around in my Mustang every weekend. You know. The internet and say anything you like and try to make people believe you. VR is not the same as driving track. Even driving a go kart is different in VR.
They really need to stop making COD. Just leave it as a live service with Warzone and move on. Looked at the cost of these games. 3000 developers and 700 million to make CODBO6. Yet Expedition 33 was 30 developers and cost 10 million. They earned 50 million in three days of release. Plus COD is just reskinned every year with little to no advancements
I would go with. "What do the players want?" "Will it be financially viable?" (Yes that's how a business works people. It's not a ***** charity). Can we provide more than it costs (Money) Even at a lose can we still make back into the long term? (Business /Money) People not understanding that it's a business and think it's companies doing it for the players are delusional. Yes, smaller companies get their revenue from a customer base but also studio interest. Large companies don't care. That's why live service and regurgitation of the same games are released because it's easy money. Accept what the industry is and don't hate the Devs hate the game they have to play. (No pun intended)
Love reading the comments on here. No one seems to be a true gamer. Who cares about platform. Who cares about politics. Who cares about companies situations. It's the games. That's all that matters. If a game releases. That's all that matters. Not all the moaning and whimpering about things. Play games.
@Exerion76 It's most likely because I grew up in an era that games were not judged on graphics but on game play. After I saw a post of some saying a game running at 30fps is unplayable I don't respect the younger gamers.
I always love graphics comparisons. Especially as a lot of people play on a 24" monitor where if you sit more than 2cm away from the screen the chances of really being able to tell is marginal.
Regardless of installing COD. I must be the very few people that have about 8 games installed. Then once I finish one. I delete and download another one. Have 3 MP games so those don't go. Just find it weird why people have to have 30 games installed at once.
@Xboxian360 seriously? Wear and tear? They last about 10 years if used constantly. HDDs last about 5 years with constant use. How much you would R/W is tiny.
@Friendly It is a day one release as that's when the game releases on console. The game may have existed prior. But, the term day one means day one release on console.
