Honestly, I don’t pay too much attention to voting systems or toxic responses. I just think it’s smart for anyone to do a bit of research before spending their hard-earned cash, whether the product’s good or bad. Reviews don’t always seem that accurate anymore (maybe due to paid reviews?), so it’s easy for mediocre games to get glowing praise, while truly good games might get rated lower than they deserve.
I recommend anyone curious about this game to check out the video Fextralife uploaded a few hours ago before deciding to spend any money on EA.
Ah, thanks! It’s been a lot of fun. The last project I worked on was the Arizona Sunshine Remake, which just got released, and it's amazing to see how well it’s been received :)
I totally get you. I had PS Plus Premium for years myself, but it started to feel a bit pricey for what was offered. Back in the PS3/PS4 days, the monthly games really stood out, but over the last year or so, the lineup has felt pretty weak, with lots of repeats, some good but often quite dated. So it was often the case that I’d already played most of them. The games I really enjoy tend to come out on PC as well, usually with better deals. Plus, online gaming is free on PC, which helps a lot....
Unbelievable how much I’m saving now that I’m not buying games like I used to. Every time they add some ridiculous 'feature,' it just makes me want to hold onto my money even more.
The graphics are so ecstatically pleasing!
YEEES!! Damn, best gaming news I’ve heard all year!
I’m not that into VR these days, but Alien: Isolation 2 would be perfect for it. Like, imagine eye-tracking for when you’re peeking around a corner and the alien catches your gaze, or the mic picking up your breath so you have to hold it when it’s close. So much potential!
Just built myself my very first gaming PC—4080 card and everything, big ass OLED screen—and I'm so ready to put this beauty to the test! Never played the original either, so I'm so excited to be blown away by it all.
I'm wondering what a proper Kingdom Hearts (1) remaster would look like with modern graphics, yet close to the current art style (I thought Kingdom Hearts 3 looked a bit too clean and 3D-ish).
I started the dlc around lvl 70, just reached lvl 100 and it's going fine tbh. Yes, I use my mimic and like to summon some people for the hardest boss fights, but otherwise I do everything solo. It's definitely challenging, but not nearly as hard as I read everywhere (that you need to be at least lvl 150-200 to get through the first area alone).
I canceled my playstation premium subscription last month, grabbed my Steam Deck and bought the GOTY edition of the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4, three Battlefield games and the Mass Effect Trilogy for a total of 40'ish Euros.
Couldn't be happier and I doubt I'll be buying any newly released game this next year other than maybe Black Myth; Wukong.
I'd say let them. Let these big companies double down on all the live service games until there is no more money to fund their projects and these money grubbers eventually go bankrupt.
You're already seeing new companies being set up by ex-employees who have been fired or are so fed up with where the AAA industry has gone that there's nothing left but innovative games. Maybe not all good, but innovative.
It's sad to admit, but I feel a little burned out by this game. I just finished the Gold Saucer area and am now working on the side missions to unlock minigames like Fort Condor. But it all feels so bloated and tedious (I'm looking at you, Costa Del Sol). There is absolutely no variety or challenge; just Far Cry open-world stuff, hosted by the most irritating character who just doesn't belong in this universe.
The pacing really isn't there, the mysterious an...
Me and most of my concept art buddies got laid off as well a few days back –different daughter company though. Such a wonderful start of this magical month 🤣
I've always been a PlayStation gamer and had a PS Premium subscription from the start, but for the last two months since I got my Steam Deck, I've mostly used my PlayStation for streaming services. So given these new prices and the lack of interesting retro games that make Premium worthwhile, I really see no reason to renew it.
I'm wondering what would be a good approach for the next Tomb Raider, if they decide to make another reboot I mean. I'd say definitely more exploring, climbing puzzles, next to no human enemies and that desolated feel without going full Beksiński.
Oh yes, that would certainly make the game more challenging, but even then I feel like it wouldn't be able to match the older games.
In the first couple of Tomb Raiders games, for example, there were times when you had to jump sideways up a slope, slide down until the right moment and then jump forward to grab a ledge that for the first two hours you didn't even see was there and instead chose to scout through the area to see if you had missed a switch somewhere. No...
I'm really looking forward to a Tomb Raider game again that isn't so focused on telling a heavily emotionally charged story or features terrible gameplay elements like x-ray vision that eliminates any kind of challenge.
Just a classic TR game that drops you into this totally desolate, foreboding environment and isn't afraid to leave you scratching your head quite a bit about how to proceed. No endless amount of mercenaries that are miraculously always one step ...
@Rowco147 Nah, not really. Don't even remember saying that tbh as I'm very excited about VR. I actually started working at a VR company on the 2nd of January this year 😉
Edit: Looked back at my comment and I said the opposite really. That I'm confident that we'll be getting more than enough triple A games that are 12+ hours. Can't say that they will be that long since they're very demanding but graphics and gameplay wise HL Alyx and Horizon a...
