I don't know what happened, but this is like buying flavorless ice creme.
Pokémon has failed, even in their attempts to copy the combat system of pal world they do it poorly. This game shows how much of an EA, type company Nintendo and game freak have become.
Pokémon has become the Temu version of itself...
after 30 hours, it feels like it was made by someone who once watch AI play BL2 Positives: Good fighting nice skills some hinky ness with abilities and guns give a good variety for gameplay and combat. Its solid if you don't mind a reboot every 45 min in between loot/shoot.
I like the character design for their appearances, personalities another story.
Negatives: Massive memory leak across all platforms eating frames. Of course why wouldn't there be in an 80$ game. God forbid someone moved up the release date and didn't plug the holes in the boat.
Character have zero personality, they answer in the most milk toast way possible, every one of them talks like a sanitized white person. Especially the gravity girl... She's by far the whitest person in the game.
Bosses are forgettable, I honestly am not sure any of them are except the vault monster and time keeper. Even big bald-o face not sure who he was in the first area. The glider feels like some one played Far cry three and thought, I could do worse.
The grapple is ok, it serves the purpose its supposed to but with so many better grapplers in other games, feels like they should have build traversal around using it anywhere.
Traversal is a whole other issue, even with the bike there are large areas of just nothing drive, that you have to walk.
The carry stuff escort quests from are back, thought we'd gotten away from that garbage but now you have to slow walk huge distances caring a widget while clap trap talk. This game plays like some one wanted to add in all the stuff from BL2 and 3 that they didn't use and it's really hit and miss since some of the ideas like the grappler work like they would on a ps1. the slide is terrible, unbearably so and shouldn't be in a world with Apex. Multi player desyncs constantly. Its aggravating when you lose connection in the middle of a boss fight against a vault monster. Over all a disappointment, really coulda used some polish to get it in a good place and avoided. Vex, not question after playing as her, she was intended to be Ava at some point. Or is in disguise. I do however like Vex better than Ava, the snot nosed brat who got everything handed to her in exchange for being a **** child. Randy Pitchford, needs to stop talking and retire before he does any more damage to a legacy. He would just be the Borderlands guy if he were so busy telling everyone how poor they are for not buying broken products.
games been substantially censored since release.
Historic characters now cant be killed and some enamies tha tused to be fightable are now not. Dialogue has been changed and some minor gore removed.
The pray emote got removed... like really wtf? Basically the game got censored for the Chinese gov.
Nothing good left, they down graded the graphics and removed a majority of the gore and 'scary' parts. The games content has been gutted. Feels bad since it was good but now its just sad. Your better off playing that terrible hobbit game or veilguard than this trash.
Solid game full of testosterone, definitely needs some polish and refinement and not getting the love it deserves from the developer.
My biggest complaint is the campaign missions not being available in the xp based multi player, seems like someone thought PVP would be a better idea so they're trying to balance for two separate systems in multi player, which will hurts its longevity and balance progress.
otherwise its a lot of fun been with bots, mostly since the extra xp items will be lost if a rando finds the gene seed, they just grab them and die losing the item. Customization is pretty good but take a long time to get items unlocked due to the mission lengths. Each one tends to run about 45 minutes, which feels long. Also **** when rando insist on fighting waves of enemies unnecessarily. Kinda wish I could just upgrade the bots to have a class skill and I'd probably play solo or just with the bro's. Over all a solid experience with a amazing finishers, nothing like tearing apart the tyrranid to make your day better. Finally know where all the glory kills went after doom eternal.
Feels like it was made by someone who once saw a match of KF2 and thought they could do better, then got AI to do it.
Most if not all of the better features of KF2 are gone. Guns lack weight with attack, not bullet impact feel. Limited stages is ok, they took away to choose a class and character locking classes to characters. Feels like a big set back from where they were in killing floor 2. Removed the door welding, added these annoying turrets and zip lines just as pointless stuff to do. The hordes area lot smaller, aim feels janky, movement feel like you're skating. The daily missions kinda ****, they're set up to force you to do around 10 - 20 missions to clear them and purchase special equipment to do things like, zip lines, locking door or turrets that require a new specialty items called the multi tool that requires ammo and the items you need to activate cant be cleared in a single mission. So even the basic dailies require completion on multiple maps. There's also a battle pass, for no apparent reason, except to lock cosmetics behind a paywall so that your characters/class can all look exactly the same instead of the variety we had in KF2. Most egregiously the Stim button is now tied to the throw money button so all the fun with that's gone unless you want to waste all your meds. Micro transactions seem to work fine. Most new design decisions are really dumb and the opposite of fun.
Just an ok action game, if you want a meh adventure with cloud going: huh, meh, yeah, ok to everything then its a decent play through.
Its watch cut scene, fight grindy battles, be annoyed you missed a scan, do annoying mini games that add nothing to the story or character development, just more yeah, ok's from cloud that pad the play time.
Remove about half the game and it'd be a decent play through.
It's a decent game if you like bullet hell and confusing puzzle's where you have to take damage to reach a reward or cant actually see the needed parts because they're off screen. most enemies use projectiles that hit you since their trajectory changes as you move, giving the enemies a mild auto-aim. Its pretty meh compared to the first game. All the challenge comes from being able to platform effectively while everything shoots at you with homing bullets. its really just more, and more to the point of being so crowded on your screen there's no way to predict or monitor the mobs. Just play the first one, you deserve better.
this plays well and is a neat concept, one that was amazing during beta. Now half the games behind paywall. If your a whale your probably gonna like it but if not your gonna be whale bait.
No optimization, very little new content, consistent technical problems, no end game. If you want to fight big beasties, play worlds and save your money. The developer doesn't have any plan or intention to improve the quality of play or improvements. Now they're out targeting people who complain instead of putting those efforts towards fixing the optimization or adding a decent end game. Meh game for an easy play through I really like the new combat swapping and a lot of the new weapons and the scout is cool.
Unfortunately that's about it, the monsters lack "bite". I don't know if its just being able to swap weapons' giving me to many options or maybe the rando npcs that can distract a monster to let you do lots of damage.
I really feel like if they dropped this combat system, into monster hunter world it would be a nearly perfect game.
but the roster and endlessly flat environments feel like your just running on rails to a monster fight and repeat, which should feel a lot more rewarding I guess but removes all the hunting aspects. Makes it feel hallow, might as well just drop us on top of the monster like it does the arena. Its a pretty meh adventure for about 40 hours
Really great game but lacks a lot of content added for the definitive edition. They ripped off every one who purchased it at release and created a new game with updated content. Feels really bad.
An amazing vampire adventure with a massive castle building sim and pretty enjoyable combat.
Does everything it wants to well, if a little awkward when you first get into things. Needs more castle attack stuff for solo or PVE, there's also online PVP but its pretty meh. If you have a group to play this with its a lot better.
This is what I thought Rune Factory would beat this point. A fun adventure with town building, farming, more combat types than most cozy games. Tones of stuff to collect and craft, different gear, mounts and a multiplayer match making that isn't great but tosses you into some rando stuff with people that generally goes well. Clear inspiration form other sources and spoof type humor some of which made me laugh, an all around really enjoyable experience.
You deserve ultra violence, you deserve epic glory kills. you deserve better than the likes of this.
A solid shooter from the early 90's worth about $10 since that about all the effort that went into making this "Doom".
If you wanna be to shield bump the demon-ish forces of heck, you'll have a good time, because Hell was apparently on hiatus. probably busy fighting the real Slayer in an alternate reality, where you can pull the eyes out of demons or stuff their guts with explosives for a nice shower. Cause he isn't here, or the maybe Makers actually won and we're all in a simulation with bull on an the blood off.
what have they done, came back to ROR2 recently and the massive changes made have ruined the game. a lot of items just don't work any more. Feels bad man...
Timed attacks ****, I hated them in legend of dragoon, hated them in shadow heart's and hate them in this. There is no reason for timed attacks in a turn based rpg that cant be turned off. And the parry window is crap. Still hate the timed attacks, but this game is too good.
#GustavBestGirls
the music is the first game to really hit the same way it did when I played Near automata.
The story is, simply amazing. Def more wee than woo.
Gustave is my favorite character by far, dudes just amazing.
The combats a bit meh, You need to be able to make the dodges/parries and if you've got nerve dmg,its not so easy. But story mode exists for a reason.
And the story is where its at, the combats fun and at a certain point I just one shot everything so cranking up the difficulty was nice, and I'm looking for ward to ng+ once I'm done grinding at end game. SO many of the events and dialogue just feel real, the characters emotions and behaviors are natural as if they're really are people unlike a lot of the forced crap we've been getting. This game feels like what I thought final fantasy games would become and then so much more. This game ahs the single best enemy skill character ever designed in any game thus far. And he collects feet, its amazing.
Lots of crashes, a very meh experience. Recommend playing Mafia or GTA instead, it simply a much better experience than this slop.
By the time you find the fun, you'll probably have moved on.
This game had some really cool moments, ruined by a terrible ending. Ending was like watching Joel get the golf club.
otherwise an ok play, way to grindy though, and limited control changes make playing with a controller super awkward. I had to change my controller settings on the play station to handle all the buttons it wants me to use and that takes away from being able to enjoy the combat. If you want a few cool boss fights and 3/4ths of a decent story its probably worth getting for a $15 -20 sale
massive alterations in the last patch changed everything. stories un accessible, bugs every where, outfits disappeared, and monetization. Fortunately we got to have a real teaching moment about how even if you really like something, its important to know when to walk away so your not take advantage of.
The game could have been amazing, the story good its just nearly un playable due to crashes. And god forbid you try to play multi player, Colorado springs, the major 1st hub town is so broken, multi player desyncs every time you visits. The absolute worst part is the developer knows all this and just doesn't care and has said they aren't going to fix it. I liked the wasteland series and was really excited about this one, its such a same and a mess.
Remnant 2 base game is amazing, the classes you get are fantastic and fun with a divers array of skill that are fun. So I dunno what happened. There are some neat ideas in the DLC's but the hwole glider travel is kind of terrible, I stayed lost in the DLC where everything looks the same as the base game other then the ocean of instant death you have to deal with. There's very little creative here other than a few decent rings and necklaces for mid build diversity, but the inventory sorting of items is so cumbersome that the excessive number of ring and necklaces has gotten out of hand. Inventory equipment need QoL and the the dlc needs land mass. i think the back setting story is pretty good, but it wasn't fun to playthrough, the bosses were mostly just red glowy regulars enemies til the end where you fight a flshy noisy hard to dodge shape. With each DLC the games gotten worse, its really disappointing and a sad end to something I thought would be special. End games also terrible, you feel no progression its just gathering stuff you aren't gonna use and guns that are maybe kinda neat for awhile. But you don't feel any progression its just, your capped go repeat stuff. Feels bad man.
I'm gay and I hate everything this game represents.
I had some positive things to say about it, but after Metacritic deleted my review I've lost any faith I once had in this system.
Its a nostalgia filled trek through the world of mana, in a similar fashion to the original game. This game is so charming, its a direct improvement of the concepts of Trials of mana in a lot of ways with cut scenes and talking. A solid solo RPG experience with no micro transaction and a fun class system. This is a fantastically whimsical story with mild emotional highs and lows on your trek to the mana tree. This is not, the next major drama or super franchise, as it lacks in some areas and lulls some story wise at points. There is an inherent sense of innocence's in Val's character that's bit off putting to me. He's really niave at times and it causes the major party events in an early chapter. The class system is a bit restrictive where I am at 15 hours but I've really enjoyed the different outfits and wanna assign them lol and the classic boss fights are there. Its really a homage to all things mana and definitely feels made for the fans. That said its not a complicated game and if you enjoy fight style jrpgs its an adventure with a more complex story that the surface portrays. The MC gives me old school Ash going into the world and having no clue vibes.
For a free to play game it's not bad, the issue is the drop.
I don't know if they're accurate but when I spend 10 hours farming with friends for a specific item and every one gets the drops except me, yeah that's where I call it quits.
The RNG is really bad, really really bad and you will be very frustrated. They have thankfully removed a lot of the pointless boss mechanics but when you have to spend the time to grind and have nothing to show all week its time to move on to a new game.
With as many people playing this I look forward to seeing what the players determine about the drops because I believe they have a secondary mechanic we're not aware of that prevents acquisition of loot or the percent's are scuffed.
Fake rolls and maple story are all I really know about nexon though.
I'm not having fun, the DLC might as well set you at level 1, which probably isn't bad for many Elden ring players. I'm not great at this and have over leveled to help me, an amazing aspect of the original game. Now I'm stuck, I apparently need to collect arbitrary McGuffins to regain my ability to survive. Found a knight guy whos killed me 30 times and I'm going to lose my souls, I was like 20k from a level and at lvl 195 that's a good bit. I'm just really frustrated and since I cant gain xp to be able to handle stronger mobs, I'm going to have to look up a guide to be able to progress. I don't like how its set up and I cant get into it because all I've managed to do is hit wall after wall. A lot of the good aspects of the progression from the main game are simply gone because of the change. Now its just up a weapons o max and either wear armor or not. The effects from the arbitrary McGuffins are all that matter, and I don't even understand how to find them without a guide. its so much work only get stuck figuring out how to, figure out how to progress. I might try it again later but this has been very dis-heartening.
SO I thought they had finally gotten the space game up to a point I could really enjoy it, then mod support happened. Which boiled down to, paying the developer again to fix a problem created by the developer and then outsourced to a third part that I cant provide feed back to. They're bought with in game currency that has to be purchased separately making a refund for a bad mod impossible. Each update will break the mod and the dev will need to fix it, if the dev stops there is nothing you can do and your purchased mod is now broken permanently. Good luck on getting feed back or a refund. Every step of this is designed to for you to "just accept" and I've lost any faith in Bethesda and their loading screens. Nintendo might be more evil but their games work.
Its a really good mid tier looter shooter with a grind heavy end game that isn't very rewarding. The story is a fun romp that requires a little grinding and exploring and ends pretty abruptly with a fight on a world you'll wish there was more of and wont get, against a boss that used to be super hard and I think is meh now. The guns and mods are cool, and I don think I really started disliking the game until the 2nd DLC which disappoints in almost every area. Difficulty is relegated to super damaging slam downs in super tight corridors or cliff sides to insta kill you. The bosses felt about the same before got to a giant saw thing that just annoyed me to no end. it used to be cool experiments in a gnarled post apocalyptic worlds of craziness, now it's that one Indiana jones movie for better or worse.
On top of my below issues, 505 Games recently clarified they want western politics and out of place wording that make no sense in their localizations and altering the characters personalities.
I'm gay and I have to deal with this every day in my life because they think I need to have a position, when I just want to play a fun game without being bombarded by this weird western religion of politics. And that's after the game has hard locked me into none progression. 22 hours in and my game is bugged for the 2nd time, this time instead of stuck in a house with no door I'm stuck in the proving grounds. Hit both buttons got both gears turning, this place just spins and is an aggravating puzzle. Watched videos and its just not working. very disappointed in this game more more I play it the less I like it though I guess that's over since I don't want to start over again.
The game gives me a giant death star laser that chases enemies around. Seriously THE GAME GIVES ME A GIANT DEATHSTAR LASER THAT CHASES ENAMIES AROUND!!!!
The game is so much fun, even with the nerfs and changes the balances are quick and we get a lot of feedback from the devs and the random groups have been great! Throw an SOS someone almost always helps! Its just fun.
Its great, the game is beautiful and has some fun characters and an interesting story. Feels a bit slow on the movement to me, but otherwise I enjoyed it for about 30 hours.
Got stuck on some geometry was the only real glitch I encountered.
The issues come with the localization and the heavy handed insertion of wester politics. Its out of pace and doesn't fit the settings, and other characters don't comment unless their in on it. Because its inserted dialogue from the localizer. So in the end, good gamer great in appearance and needs a fan sub.
This game is terrible, I can see the appeal for it "famed immersion" which gets broken ever 5 second when you have to play mini games for nearly everything, The quests completions are so vague they make Elden Ring seem like a game that wouldn't shut up. I tried researching tips and help and essentially they all boil down to , level all your stats to cap in the starting village and fight one on one... Then there's lock picking which is the worst lock pick system ever devised so terrible I think it caused the 83 crash. Everything about what you do in this game, screams filler. It sad because the story stuff was pretty good, Glad I only paid 5$ since PlayStation wont give me a refund so save your money and just buy Wario Ware for your mini game fix.
This is lot of fun! Choices galore and the combat is solid. There's a lot of little nuances that after you've played a while you can really see the love that went into the development. I've only played though most of the first chapter so far and gotten to the last area, or I think its the last area. But I've had a lot more fun than I expected to. If I had any complaint, its that now I want to replay BG2 with this system.
