Hell, you don't even have to go *solely* by the trailer. The Chinese Room sounds like an insane mismatch imo. Their most traditional "gamey-game" to date, Little Orpheus, is just a middling 2D platformer.
-"Only the hardest of the hardcore still believe"
Although I still think you're diminishing its reach, at least you're added fairer context.
-"Cool beans that is some legendary orange glow level of cope. Well done"
And that is one of the most vapid responses I could've expected. Congrats.
-"Halo Infinite is dead though."
These responses have to either be delusional or deliberately disregarding the context to which I'm responding. Just to be clear, you understand Jin literally parallels Spedfall (that's still waiting on an 60fps patch) to a game who's just had a recent seasonal update and another (Season 5) scheduled for Oct, right? You can't even pretend like that's on "life support" compared to what Pete Hine's ...
-"Just like Halo Infinite."
To say this with such confidence suggests you don't get called out enough on bad takes.
RIP.
Seems like they closed out on a high note. At least that's something.
I feel compelled to critique this structure. In short, it's a stale way to conduct an interview imo. It's more of a static Q+A as though each question came through Julia's voicemail individually and she'd start with "Yeah, umm..." over and over again. You're losing so much dynamism by not having a simple Zoom call in this case. If you don't *like* the camera on your face for these, even short gameplay snippets on a loop with your conversation would be pre...
Same here.
You're right. Oct 31st is a Tuesday too!
Important note: this is PC Gamer's highest-rated game in the past decade.
I picked up Atlas Fallen on a whim. I genuinely hope it's not a regrettable impulse buy.
A precious few, one might say. ;)
Given how buggy it was at launch, I don't see the issue with evaluating after its major patches have released. Also, can we just drop this notion of being late to the party? You see a game, you play the game, and you review the game. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
Sure. I joined a buddy's lobby recently and had some mindless fun with it. Even then, you can implicitly *feel* how it's not quite there with audio/visual feedback and polish. Plus, I'd be worse off by myself b/c you literally have to *grind* to unlock its better game modes - something I was forewarned about in some reviews.
Surprised at the relatively high Exoprimal score tbh. It doesn't feel altogether there.
@PapaBop
Huh? lol
Hopefully one of those is Kingdoms of Amalur II. I've critiqued it heavily before, but the series deserves another spot.
You have an uncanny ability to turn little one-off stories into a tangential spiel with no ultimate purpose. What's anyone expected to get out of this?
"Did you know a developer who got a timed exclusivity deal with MS *ISN'T* a fan of a service that came out years later?"
I mean... okay? I guess the original story about Nice Guy Phil has been negated now or something?
Most likely case. I'm pretty sure there's a solid disparity between physical/digital sales between US & EU.
Being priced higher on PS5 is immaterial to this PC review. Wow! Even with the consideration of extra content beyond the main story?
"We have Cuphead at home, sweetie."
