Mate. Come on. The games went from T for teen to E10+ because the writers watered down the writing, not the other way around. It's not like some Sony rep said "this game is going to be an E10+ game from now on, cut down on the euphemisms!" (that I know of, at least), and then the writers followed suite. It was a creative decision within Insomniac, surely, and its one that I lament. It's just not that funny any more.
The truth hurts, I know.
Nope, not at all. It's like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The franchise started pretty "mature", considering its genre, but has regressed into childhood in a sense. The old jokes were more clever, more risqué and the presentation and direction had much more subtlety. Now the jokes are dumb and nobody shuts the hell up. There's always someone constantly yapping in your face about this and that. No time for peace and quiet.
Valve would like to have a word with you.
The RC Remake is atrocious and completely ruined the original imo. All of that excellent humor was just gone.
Oh, sorry, my mistake.
Nah. Ratchet and Clank lost their spunk since the Future series. The first must-have PS5 exclusive is already out. It's Demon's Souls.
Nope, pretty underrated, actually.
World building is pretty excellent. The brain-dead AI just breaks immersion once in a while. It should have been working from the start, yes, but it is fixable.
Agreed. The choices were pretty much as varied as Witcher 3. So, pretty varied, actually. Definitely more than the ending of Mass Effect 3 lmfao. I know it's pointless to take this up with a publication like Kotaku, but I just don't see the "poor handling of topics like gender, sex and race". I just. Don't. See it. I care about handling these topics with respect myself, but I never felt that this game handled these topics inappropriately. Again it feels like Kotaku is ju...
Fair play to anyone with a console who were disappointed with this game. But beneath the flaws and bugs is a very strong backbone of excellent quest design, strong characters and exciting story, and amazing side quests. Give credit where credit is due. A lot of developers poured a lot of love into this project, and it shows underneath its flaws. It's a diamond in the rough. Give the poor developers the praise they deserve, and shit on management and investors instead. Like others have alr...

You can't really make a comment like that without establishing what framerates are and aren't acceptable for you and the other person. What frames are you getting at psycho graphics ray tracing, 30fps? For most people that's unacceptable performance on PC. Heck, even if you get 50fps that's not comfortable gameplay. 60+ is where it's at for a lot of people, and ray tracing doesn't give them that.
Yeah, so. I've played a good chunk of the game so far, and I agree that the game is phenomenal, bugs not withstanding. But I'm also playing the game on an RTX 3070. I have friends on console who looked forward to playing this game. I was with them on chat every time the game got delayed, we consoled each other and said "don't worry, the game will be better for it, we must remain patient!"
These friends haven't bought the game because of how buggy i...
The problem with these types of statements is that most people don't have the option. CDPR should have cancelled or delayed the last-gen console versions of the game instead of ask money for what these people got. If all you have is a PS4, then what are you supposed to do or think other than buy it and say, "wow, this is a shitty experience".
That's totally fair. Games are not fun at 30fps (fight me, console players). Hope you're able to afford an upgrade soon so you can play the game.
In Cyberpunk 2077's defense, all of those other games were shipped in just as broken (or more so) states or lacked just as much (or more) of what they initially promised to customers, and those games should have been refundable as well. Cyberpunk is only getting the treatment because it's the loudest people have ever been about the state of a newly released game, because it's one of the most hyped games in a decade. The game looks utterly unplayable on console, so I fully support ...
It's a disaster on previous gen consoles. It's hard to run on PC's as well, but it's otherwise a fun game that's worth your time, so I wouldn't outright call it a disaster.
@Livingthedream I'm also speaking mostly from a story and world-building aspect. Rockstar has never made me care about any character and I've never had legitimate "fun" doing anything in GTA other than just fuck around, bar perhaps the heists in GTAV which were pretty well designed. RDR2 was such a huge bore for me the whole way through. Large, beautiful world with absolutely nothing interesting to do and a story mode that became predictable after the 5th hour. Go somewhere ...
Bloodborne is too new. Doesn't need a remake.
