    It took the merchant and upgradable weapons and utilized it well. The gameplay is completely different. I feel the movement and pacing of the 3rd person perspective wouldn’t mesh well with a 1st person view. Plus, 4 was a game for its time that revolutionized a lot of gaming cliches used now. The camera is never a problem in this. Just be cautious about your environment so you’re not backing into a corner.

    I finished the story yesterday and here’s some of my take aways. I won’t spoil anything. Graphically, damn. Looks great. Sound for the most part is good. I was confused with the voice acting choices though. I get that the main character sound American (and a total wimp) but if the game is based in Europe, shouldn’t the voices of the enemies reflect that? Gameplay is ok. I found the movement to be really slow and clunky even after getting the upgrade that improves movement. Gunplay was fine most times but felt really snappy. I haven’t touched the extra mercenaries mode but from everything I’ve seen, it’s the same as previous interations. As for the all important story... I found the pacing really good at first. The opening area and the two that follow were well placed and felt like RE7 with the exception of the first boss fight. The third area felt like an actual terrifying section. Again, I won’t spoil it, but trust me. It’s good. The ladder half of the game though felt really weird. Lots of combat, and I mean LOTS. At a couple points, it felt like I was playing a hoard mode and found it frustrating. Once the credits roll, I honestly had more questions then answers. It was an ok experience. There’s lots of replay value with it so I’d think an 8/10 would be a fair score for it. RE4 is still my fave of the series.

    Confession.. I never played RE7. The first person perspective kinda turned me off. Village has my attention though. I may wait and read some reviews before I commit. There’s a lot coming down the pipe in the next few months. And with 7 being a part of the ps plus collection, maybe I’ll check it out.

    Hopefully this will improve the current party system for PlayStation users. Sony Announces New Partnership With Discord WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM Sony President and CEO Jim Ryan voiced his excitement for the new agreement between the two...

    Early impressions... housemarque has done it again. This game is really friggin good. Controls are crisp and fluid. Visuals and audio are top notch. Gameplay is tight. If you’re a fan of rouge lites such as hades then you’ll dig this one. You will die a lot. My only gripe and it’s really not a game breaker in any way, is there can be a LOT going on at any given time. Due to the third person perspective, you tend to get ambushed and surrounded quickly. Most of housemarques games have had an arcadey bullethell kind of vibe and it seems they tried to add a bit of that to this. It doesn’t really blend well but like I said, minor gripe. This is truly a next gen experience. The dual sense integration is really nice to. And example is you feel the rain drops hitting your suit through the controller. 🤘🏻

    I’ve never been a fan of the BF franchise. It’s never been my cup of coffee. But hey, if it’s something for everyone to roll on then roll away.

    Well those are disappointing.

    This has been on my list since it was announced. Comes out April 30th.

    Better break down.. Skip it. Yet another pointless bounty grind for something that literally means nothing. There’s better things to do.

    I’m pretty sure it’s all platforms. It initially released on the OG Xbox.

    On one hand, I’m excited for a remake of this. I still consider it one of my top 3 SW games ever. On the other, I’ve been there and done that. I figure this will be a wait and see approach for me. Same with the Mass Effect remake.

    If any of you haven’t played this yet, NOW is the time. This game is fucking great from start to finish! And you can quote me on that! 🤘🏻

    It’s ok when you’re playing with friends. But I didn’t have a good time with it at all. Feels old, unbalanced as hell, gameplay is clunky (though probably better on PC with M/K) and it does nothing revolutionary that hasn’t been done before. I seriously don’t understand why some sites are giving it the reviews it’s been getting. But when I see ads for the game on said sites, it all makes sense. I finished the campaign and deleted it. Doubt I’ll return.

    Just send out the Bat signal if I’m needed.

    I’ll just pop this here. PS5 April Update brings new storage options and social features BLOG.PLAYSTATION.COM First major PS5 console update lets you store PS5 games on USB extended storage, share...

    If I had an XboxX with GP, I would play it. I refuse to spend $80 on this. The demo didn’t wow me in any way.

    Astros playroom was a blast to play. Both Sarah and I had a lot of fun with that. I’ve also got the PS5 upgrades for Immortals, Valhalla and Control, the last of which really performs well at 60fps. I also managed to nab Godfall brand new for $30. I refused to pay full price for that game based on reviews and feedback. I’ll be giving that a go sometime this week.

    This is looking like a 50/50 chance at the moment. And 10 billion?! Bloomberg - Are you a robot? WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM

    Delayed until 2022.

    Skip 3. 2 is the only one worth playing. 3 should have been dlc for 2. It’s rushed and feels incomplete compared to 2. I’m looking forward to 8, but these new game prices are going to be a huge turn off. I figure if this ends up on game pass PC, I’ll check it out. But other then that, I’m waiting for a sale.
  21. Riff Machine
    I’m very intrigued by this. One to keep the eyes on for sure. 🤞🏻
  22. Riff Machine
    I honestly think the Persona series would hurt the most. Everything I've read about that series has been top notch, must play stuff. They seem to have hit it out of the park with 5.

    Microsoft eyeing up Konami and Sega acquisitions to possibly invigorate waning Xbox console sales in Japan - NotebookCheck.net News WWW.NOTEBOOKCHECK.NET Microsoft snapping up Sega is the rumor that will never go away, but it now seems that Konami could... It’s a rumor and while this would be a good get for them, I don’t see it helping sales in Japan for the Xbox. Thoughts?

    They’re all better on PC anyways. It does make you wonder if Sony is going to have that “Well fuck you too” move and try to buy up a big developer as well. I had read some articles about possibly buying square Enix, but I doubt that would happen.

    It’s a bit more over the top hack/slash. More about style points and combos for better ranking on stages. Bayonetta, viewtiful joe and maybe the combat part of the original god of war games come to mind.
