VR is going to appeal deeply to a small subset of people but be a novelty for most until the tech advanced much much further to the point that the headsets are less bulky and mostly wire free.
Man. I figured gaming was going downhill a decade ago with the insistence on "AAA" titles but to see how dystopian the industry has become surprises even me.
Hopefully we can at least keep some good indie devs around and companies like From Software stay independent.
What delusion? The part where the combat is subpar, the planets being empty, the sub-bosses and weapons being reskins, the gadgets being weak, exploration being unrewarded, rift skips being overhyped A-B traversals, the story being bland and corporate, the side missions being weak and uninspired, the dialogue being written by a journalism dropout, or the gold bolts literally just sitting in open fields?
Just want to make sure I'm focusing on the right "delusion&quo...
Have at it! Enjoy your mediocrity.
I'm aware my opinion is "unpopular". I've been downvoted to oblivion here time and time again for pointing out that the combat is weak, the weapons are almost all reskins, the gadgets are the laziest in the series with special mention of the rift skips which are the most hyped yet least innovative concept ever added to the series, the sub-bosses ARE all reskins, the planets are empty, exploration isn't rewarded at all, the story is corporate-forced and cheesy beyond word...
It'd be different if there was anything to find in the open world. It's basically just wide open empty space with no reward for exploration.
Oh please. Half the people downvoting are just kneejerk Sony loyalists that haven't even played the game. Even less of them have played the original trilogy and know how excellent it is compared to Rift Apart.
Surprised anyone played it long enough to figure that out. Most boring Ratchet ever released... by far. All 4 One doesn't count.
Same here. Solid 8 for AC2, 9 for AC2AA, 3, and Silent Line. Loved those games!
YEEEEEEEEAH! My core is ready!
Welp, I'm the remaining holdout in my household and circle of friends and I don't play very often. That'll get me to quit fully.
Maybe unpopular, but I hope Jaffe has nothing to do with it. His design methodology is so outdated.
...and anyone that thinks Samsung can provide a "seamless streaming experience" should try to use their app store from any of their Smart TVs.
Samsung software is cold garbage. Never even got warm.
Can confirm, dead now.
Rift Apart is one of the worst Ratchet games ever. Couldn't agree more. Insomniac regressed the series below the original trilogy's standards.
Gadgets were weak. Platforming was weak. Story was weak. Worlds and level design were weak. Weapons were mostly reskins. Sub-bosses were nearly all re-skins.
Unfortunately it was all about the graphics and that's painfully sad for a series with such tight gameplay standards and innovations.
Why do some of these comments read like advertisements?
Too bad they didn't go all out on important things like mission variety and making the game fun to control.
"Well, I'm going to have myself a little nap. The only thing to do, really, after a nice toast. You are a true friend. Best of luck with your duty."
"Look at this better game and stop making fun of us plz"
Elden Ring.
