I've always been a little confused with the Bungie - Sony Tie up, its been a weirdish fit to me and doesn't really fit with Sony's stable of studios though I guess does shore up the FPS side of things, while being a little stagnant still in my opinion. I get that Bungie has made Halo, Made Destiny 1&2 but it seems to be Bungie that always has issues with one publisher or another. Independence is great for many developers but seems really poorly managed at Bungie.

Hoping for BG3 of course it was a blast havent touched much else in the list this year
BG4 lol or i dont know try somewhere else? Divinity would be nice i guess
SE upper management dont seem to be living in the real world, blockchain is dog shit
4 steel books can make an article? Damn that's a slow news day. Also don't get me wrong I dont have the game, not planning on buying it either but jeezus you went to school/college/uni to write that?
Grats on the New Owners, looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. As Madlad said hoping for civil discourse but I personally kind of feel its not really practiced much these days everyone seems to have their opinion and that's the end of it. I live in hope though
Yeah! Femshep forever!
I do not understand how anyone who looked at CDPR's history of the Witcher Series from 1,2 & 3 expected them to blow the water away from the sea on the 1st game. I know Witcher one didnt do that for me but I still like the world they created and they built on it with 2 more games. I expect the same with CP2077, never fell for the hype because I expected it to be roughish and people expecting a CRPG style like BG3 or Divinity must have been so hyped they barely looked at the promo. ...
Having seen some of the PS4/XBOX issues they are much worse on those systems when compared to PC and the New Gen. Still bugs are present in all versions and that's on CDPR cascade of errors.
Also having given up on reviews a long time ago for just enjoying what I like I have to find the frenzy of hate for anything CDPR at the moment disappointing but not really surprising. Don't get me wrong they seriously messed up, they two faced lied about the quality and they de...
Modders will improve on the aesthetics I mean its what's been done for Bethesda games and Bioware games (though they make it so hard) for years, the bugs will be fixed mostly and I'm having fun in the game, I expect some nice freebie cosmetic DLC sooner or later and some more story content like the Witcher 3 received. I have it on PS4 (playing on PS5, no issues) and PC(AVX fix applied)
They might also work on a 3rd person camera if its possible, might be ok or might...
got in on stadia's 3 month free offer but its never actually worked for me and so I cancelled it and play on systems that just work.
i kinda want them to make the tech demo into a full game it looks good.
PS5 All the way still, I mean I would maybe get an SX but MS have not been setting the world alight with games in the past gen and im not taking what they always make for granted but variety never hurts, to be fair Nintendo has that down to a T. So as it always should I follow the games and if I want a beefy system I get a PC lol.
Obsidian were making this game before they got purchased and all the publishing deals were being finalised so the release is more open then microsoft normally allows afaik.
As to the game itself I'll pick it up next steam sale, i'll buck the trend and applaud the better pricing that Epic offers but otherwise exclusivity deals should stick to console where it makes more sense. Also to those who say Metro was $10 cheaper yes it was in the US but not elsewhere.
I cannot see where CDPR have been ungrateful. The original IP purchase offer was based on either a lump sum one off fee or a percentage of each copy sold. Sapkowski as stated by many on here, in the media and even himself said that at the time he had no faith in CDPR and in games in general. So he went for the one off payment then years later after the games have massively expanded the Witcher reader and fan base he and his lawyers send a bullying letter to CDPR asking for more money. I reall...
Here I was thinking the median score of 81 (opencritic) and 77 Metacritic point to basically a good game, not out of this world brilliant but a nice experience nonetheless. It would also match my general view of the reboot series as a whole (70-80). I never actually played much of the original tomb raiders so I guess I dont have as much baggage as some of you have when its time to look back with rose tinted glasses. As long As the games fun for me I really don't look at review scores its ...
If the 2 doctors came back I'd be far more optimistic then with Casey's return. I honestly have not replayed ME3 even with the MEHEM patch just because of starchild and yes so it was Mack but Casey signed off on whatever LSD inducing cluster that was. Also their defence that it was art was meh at the time as well, a bad end was a bad end and if Anthem copies Destiny like its looking like then that is sadly going to be another bad end.
It's been a lot of ups and downs with Bioware in recent years admittedly a lot more downs then ups and Anthem looks good visually but I'm still stunned they couldn't see the quality difference from Andromeda to Anthem but I digress. I want DA4 to be good because after you don't get bogged down in the Hinterlands in DA:I its a fun game for the most part. (still miss proper deathblows from Origins though) Its really hard to judge for me personally until i see which way there goi...
I'm interested in Andromeda but I'm probably going to be a lot more wary of any Bioware statements extolling the virtues of choice, consequence and multiple meaningful endings
(I'm applying the BG/BG2+ToB benchmark here)
I think everyone is in general agreement that the game didn't live up to expectations or what is expected of Bioware though perhaps its time to stop comparing the old Bioware to the new. I still hope for a Origins like DA like I hoped for A ME 1 like Mass Effect. Its just DA's version of Andromeda and both that and Veilguard are ok games but only if you take off the DA and ME branding. Inquisition had a side character somewhat like Taash but honestly it was just so in your face with h...
