I'm hanging on to whatever that unannounced game is because the others, while surely quality games, don't excite me on the level of, say, Fable. That's what I wanted to see. But I will certainly tune in!
Well, the animations would need a total overhaul. Not to mention the graphics. Lots of work would have to go into such a project if they want to release it at quality.
I think Suicide Squad is actually not a bad game. It's not up to par with Rocksteady's previous work, but I'd say it's a decent game if you like the genre. But people go on the internet and exaggerate.
I'm only an hour in because of the weird controller issues. I decided to wait on a fix for that before I continue, but other than that, I was getting immersed.
@GamingFan4Lyf Yeah, Jesse from Xbox Era is streaming it now and he's saying it's in better shape than it was during the review period. He suspects it would have gotten better reviews if critics had been playing it in its current state. I'll check it out today and see for myself. Hopefully the issues won't detract too much from the experience.
According to Jesse at Xbox Era, the game is in much better condition now and if reviewers had gotten the latest version to review, the scores would probably have been different. Still, I'm just going in expecting significant issues that will need further patching.
I'm not surprised by any of this considering the circumstances and the simple fact that it's a S.T.A.L.K.E.R game!
The physical version is coming for my birthday and apparently it is going to arrive on the 22nd. I am excited but can wait a couple of days, no problem. Looking forward to seeing what players and reviews have to say!
I made a gorgeous character. The game is really beautiful with a great art style and excellent tech. Really interested to see where the story and gameplay go as I move through it.
I've noticed that the attacks against the game are mostly coming from people who haven't played it but have a penchant for internet bandwagons. To be fair, there are good faith takes from those who have played the game and find it's not for them.
I hope it is selling well. I did see it's top 3 on Steam today.
Looking forward to checking out Metaphor, but my main interest is Silent Hill 2 Remake. I've long felt it would be good, despite the over-the-top hate. Of course, constructive criticism is important and it probably made this game better.
I made a conscious choice to wait for the PS5 Slim. I waited and I got one this year. I knew PS5 Pro was probably coming but I felt it would be too expensive. Sure enough! And in Canada? Forget about it.
I'm playing Star Wars Outlaws this weekend. The instant fail stealth missions were a bad direction, I think. Other than that and some smaller complaints, I think it's been pretty decent so far. Looks pretty good on PC!
From what I've read, you can sail your own ship and do ship combat? Okay, somehow I am even more excited for this than I was for Infinite Wealth, which is an awesome game!

I think Suicide Squad is actually not a bad game. It's not up to par with Rocksteady's previous work, but I'd say it's a decent game if you like the genre. But people go on the internet and exaggerate.

Re: Opinion: As The Dust Settles On PS5 Pro, I'm Still Glad Xbox Didn't Bother
I made a conscious choice to wait for the PS5 Slim. I waited and I got one this year. I knew PS5 Pro was probably coming but I felt it would be too expensive. Sure enough! And in Canada? Forget about it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 21-22)
