I think I've accepted the fact that this series will never achieve the success it deserves. I don't think it's just about exclusivity either, the first game is just as good as the sequel and released on two consoles but still failed to meet sales expectations. At this point I'm just happy we're getting a third game at all, I really never expected that to happen.
Jeez, that's weird, I was just playing mine this morning.
See how both our comments add absolutely nothing to the conversation?
Oh I absolutely love it.
And with that, you prove that you have no idea what you're talking about. Killzone 2 and 3 were both 30fps, Shadowfall was unlocked -- rarely came close to 60fps. Resistance has always been capped at 30fps. Up until the release of the MC Collection, every Halo game had been 30fps..... you were right about Cod.
90% of the console shooters you played last gen ran at 30fps. Killzone 2, Resistance 3, Halo 3 and Halo: Reach were an...
Was the exact same for me. Had a blast with the first one and fully intended to pick up the sequel day one at full price -- then the micro-transactions happened. This goddamn balancing act of trying to sneak in as much anti-consumer bull as you possibly can without upsetting the entire fanbase, how is that considered good business? Now the Shadow of Mordor brand has been damaged and we'll likely see layoffs and the cancellation of future projects -- not because the Monolith lads failed to...
Lol only on the cesspit that is N4g. Yeah I'm actually not a fan despite owning every game in the series -- multiple copies of every game in the series with all the HD rereleases. I'm not a fan because I'm not blindly praising a game I haven't played yet. I'm a fan, you guys are the absolute worst types of fans.
You're complaining about this article now, but you'll be back singing Gamespot's praises when they eventually dedicate half a parag...
It only makes me more worried for the new game when people like this are praising it. It's far from deep, but I don't see how any hack and slash fan could find the combat in the likes of 3 and Ascension boring -- unless they were playing on normal and just mashing square with the blades of chaos or whatever.
"But to me, the combat reminds me more of The Last of Us, and the impactful feeling of smacking an infected with a plank of wood."

I was ok with the ports for a long time, Tropical Freeze is like the pinnacle of 2D platformers for me and Bayo 2 is an action masterpiece, so I'm glad those two are getting a second chance -- but Captain bloody Toad? Who the hell asked for that?
I was really hoping for a Pikmin 4 reveal at E3, but now I'm thinking they're gonna announce Pikmin 3 Switch before 4. Hopefully it will stop at Captain Toad, but if that got the OK, then I have to imagine they're ...
Nah man, look at those downvotes, these people know that you're lying and you're actually not fine with a few downgrades, just admit it already.
if they can get this to a locked 30fps, then it's gonna be the ultimate version for me regardless of any visual downgrades. Those time trial modes were insane fun on the PS4 and they're literally perfect for quick little sessions on the go. Get it to 30fps and it'll be great.
The game is currently struggling to stay above 35fps on PS4 and Xbox One, I know the Pro and X are getting slightly better performance but still nowhere near a stable 60fps. No doubt these lads could get it running on Switch, but resolution and performance would obviously take a massive hit, to the point where it's probably not even worth it anymore.
Seeing people say it's not ugly, I love the Switch and this game, but it IS ugly. It's actually kinda unbelievable how blurry it gets at times. If you never played one of the other versions I can maybe understand, but it is quite the downgrade.
That said, having one of the best shooters of the last ten years on the go is definitely a plus, and I'm loving this trend of adding motion controls to shooters to fine tune right analog stick aiming. It really is difficu...
It's weird, I should despise Max Payne 3. I can't stand lengthy, un-skippable cutscenes and I think taking the control away from the player is about the worst thing a game can do -- if any other game pulled the shit MP3 does, I'd likely just turn it off. I dunno, the shooting just feels so weighty and the physics are still a joy to behold. Has a fantastic sense of pace too despite the cutscenes.
I always think of Max Payne as a series rather than the individual...
I'm extremely lucky to be in a position where I can afford these consoles and games. Played Horizon, played Breath of the Wild, played Nier -- all incredibly overrated in my opinion. Best games for me were Nioh, Persona 5, Specter of Torment and Mario.
Well as always, game of the year will eventually go to some over-hyped game which slowly reveals itself to be ok at best when the hype dies down. Like Specter of Tormnet last year, Celeste deserves to at least make an appearance in game of the year lists. It excels in what it sets out to do.
The 60fps mode in Nioh is set to 720p -- that was last year not 2005. Yes, that's on the base €400 model, I'm not buying another PS4. Game was blurry as hell but I kept playing it for some strange reason -- it was like it was "fun" or something. I dunno, it looked like crap so it was obviously terrible and I'm just remembering it wrong.
Bayonetta 2 is an amazing game, I don't care how it looks.
I love that you remembered the Shadow of the Colossus remaster was a thing halfway through your comment and had to awkwardly squeeze it in.
The first 3 paragraphs emphasize that the game is ultimately fun. When did that stop being enough? I played the game for over 50 hours and had a blast, but now I'm done. I'm not interested in completing it 100% because not EVERYTHING Odyssey does is brilliant in my opinion -- but that does not invalidate the 50+ hours of fun I had with the game. And just to touch on the point that Galaxy explores each of it's ideas to the fullest -- it kinda had to. Galaxy is a game full of gimmic...
You mean like a test? Yeah in tests where the answers are objectively right or wrong, you're right. Do you want there to be a checklist that games need to adhere to in order to achieve a perfect score? The game must have great combat -- well what is great combat? Games, like movies and music, are subjective. A ten means a truly outstanding experience (in the reviewers opinion) but it does not and never will mean perfect. Disagree all you like.
Well that's the obligatory "Here's why you're wrong for liking Breath of the Wild" artifice taken care of for this month. Now all we need are two or three "Five reasons why The Order: 1886 is actually like... amazing" articles and we're good.
10 does not mean perfect. If you believe a 10 signifies a "perfect" game, you should not be reviewing games. It's perfectly fine if you don't like BOTW, but it's been out nearl...
I still love the first game. The original on PS3 is pretty shocking by today's standards but the remaster on PS4 is a rock solid 60fps, fully v-synced and has no noticeable input lag so it plays great.
And the people who gave it tens and nines in the user section of metacritic when it released just yesterday, did they play it all the way through??..... sure they did....
