I never said that. To me Naughty Dog took a tumble when the first Uncharted came out. I'm ok with cinematic if that's what some of these movie director types want to add to their games, but gameplay need to be front and center. Sadly Uncharted and especially The Last of Us leave way too many gameplay ideas on the table in lieu of the movie they want to tell instead. This was never much of a problem in their Jack and Daxter Trilogy since in between the cinematic moments there was a ton...

Nah. The Last of Us 3 should start the real star of the show, Abby. Lets go CrossFit Avenger!

Also, give it to someone that wants to be a game designer and not a wannabe movie maker. That'll do wonders for this thing.

If Castlevania is there as an Horror Game then Demon's Souls should be there as well.

Also, you might want to add Shadow of the Colossus there too. Where you play as a mass murdering genocidal maniac on a warpath.

A "3D co-op rogue-lite adventure' Hyper Light game you say? Pass.

Hopefully we'll get a true sequel to the original at some point. With "co-op" and "rogue-lite" hopefully nowhere to be found in its description.

But it won't. You don't get to be called a Zombie Game with Health Bars and Levels on Zombies. That's ridiculous. The Resident Evil series is also not quite a Zombie game but at least it doesn't take things this far...And then there's Resident Evil 4 and onward.

Dead Island, just like Dead Light, is just a shooting game with Zombies in it. Which is fine but a completely different thing.

Not that Elden Ring lacks a deep story and lore, but some of you are Cinematic freaks that need to be told and spoon fed story beats. I get it. No problem. Although, after playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Yikes! No thanks. But to each their own. Fair enough. Still...

Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild already showed us that Open World is not the problem. But since this is SquareEnix, it's probably for the best that they retrain themselves and keep it more contained.

At least is good to see that they know their limitations. We'll see if it pays off.

This is about graphics design and there are plenty of example of this problem. From Control, to Godfall, to even other Final Fantasy games.

Now, what I'm about to share with you is not common wisdom. No plain person can ever do this unless an expert explain it to them and show them the way. So listen well kid. The trick is to watch a video of a game you like on YouTube then go play that same game in real life. This way you'll start developing a baseline for how thin...

Graphics are not just the models, but the entire presentation. Ultimately the models and their details are not the problem here - I think, since I can barely see them - but how dark everything is. The darkness plus the motion blur plus the fog all over the game plus the overly bright candy colored special effects makes everything extremely hard to see and hard to discer...

People claiming this looks great are true fanatics or are somehow able to see through the NextGen Fog of War this game is not so cleverly implementing. Cuz ALL the footage has been so dark you can barely make out what it's actually happening, let alone make out most of the details in the models, world, etc. Godfall 2.0 over here but somehow worst.

I guess people see pretty flashy colors and instantly assume it MOST look aMaZeBaLlZ! or something or whatever.

Cloud Imperium Games almost made a giant blunder in letting Roberts be the face of the operation and in pushing back against their cult members. I see they have learned their lesson well.

They figure out that as long as they keep "listening" to their cult members, they can now even go back and overhaul whatever they "finished" and keep the gravy train rollin' and their lifestyle going strong.

Keep creating new stuff, listen to the...

Rocksteady vs Arkane - Another fight for mediocrity. Another couple of studios that went from making killer single player games to waste away in the Co-Op Copypasta Extravaganza craze. Lets see who folds first.

Place your bets and win a no prize.

I don't care for Nintendo, but Metroid Prime is one of the greatest game of all time. This and The Legened of Zelda are the only reason I still know Nintendo exists. So if you own a Switch you owe it to yourself to play and finish this classic.

This IS the Demon's Souls of First Person Adventures, in that it is THAT damn good.

BUY IT!
