07.12.22 | Nice to see DMC 5 so high... then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from your profile pic ;] Capcom really has one of the best redemption arcs of any game developer imo |
CaliggyJack
07.12.22 | I don't believe theyre on a redemption arc mostly because I didn't think they needed redeeming in the first place.
Re5, re6, DmC I loved all those games that people hated. |
Koris
07.12.22 | Yeah, but it wasn't just the games. That was when the company was also losing public trust due to their shady practices, especially all the on-disc DLC and stuff like that. And sadly I wasn't the biggest fan of the games they were putting out either, especially RE6. As for DmC, the game itself wasn't that bad; I think people were mostly fixated on Dante's redesign and the story, but the gameplay itself was pretty fun (if a bit too easy) |

07.12.22 | Is days gone actually good it basically just looks like the walking dead in video game form which sounds tucking dreadful
Goddamn swamp yanks |
Lord(e)Po)))ts

Shit |

07.12.22 | Anyone tried Dreams? My kid loves it, and tinkering with it myself, it has a pretty insane and expansive music creator. Curious if anyone around here has ever given it a shot. |
Gyromania
07.12.22 | days gone is hilariously shit. it being above sekiro is laughable. respect for dmc5 and re2 tho. |
Gyromania
07.12.22 | jared: i have dreams but i haven't messed around much with music in it. i know you can produce basically anything you want though, and some of the player creations are nuts. it's a shame that more people didn't take to it |

07.12.22 | "Ps4 had a great lineup for a shit console ngl"
Doesn't that, by default, make it a great console?
And...
Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War
Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
...delivered in ways I've never experienced in gaming. Great update for GTA 5 too. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | Ps4 is a great console yeah |
Ryus
07.12.22 | witcher 3 [2]
red dead 2 was pretty cool. overrated but solid. the missions got repetitive af
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | My favs I guess would pretty much just be all the fromsoft games and ghost of Tsushima |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | Red dead 2 was indeed cool but overrated but same goes for Witcher 3 |
widowslaugh123
07.12.22 | I really loved red dead redemption 2 one of my favorite games ever. Maybe a tad overrated but still a masterpiece in my eyes. Online mode sucks tho |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | My partner got Covid back when that was still a big deal and I had to self isolate for 10 days and just played that game the entire time |
Gyromania
07.12.22 | Witcher 3 is easily one of the greatest RPGs ever made imo. RD2 I think is a technical masterpiece but it definitely has its shortcomings and some of them are glaring. I think the story drags a bit towards the end but otherwise the characters and plot are great |
el_newg
07.12.22 | yeah dude I played red dead for like 2 months non stop when it came out haha. game is incredible, but definitely not without its drawbacks. i love it despite its flaws, def one of the highlights of the generation |
Gyromania
07.12.22 | Ghost of Tsushima is such a beautiful game and I love it BUT it does feel a bit too Ubisoft-y with its checklist of things to do |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | Gyro I think we’ve exhausted conversation about Witcher 3 long ago but I do think it’s funny you make that criticism of got but think Witcher 3 is perfect. Witcher 3 is absolutely LOADED with bullshit repetitive busy-work |
TalonsOfFire
07.12.22 | Fallout 4, RDR2, GTA V, and The Last of Us 2 are my favs. Then in no order The Witcher 3, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Doom, Batman: Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Call of Cthulhu, and Inside. Maybe I’ll try Ghost of Tsushima since it’s stealth and Ubisoft, and I like Assassins Creed and love the Splinter Cell series. Resident Evil 7 I enjoyed despite how much anxiety it gave me and I got pretty far, until my save got corrupted or disappeared and lost all the progress. The Evil Within I enjoyed but only got to level 6 or 7, when it got ridiculously difficult. Far Cry 4, Alien: Isolation, Doom, Shadow of Mordor, and Dying Light were solid but haven’t finished them, maybe I will some time. |
IsisScript80
07.12.22 | A lot of what I've heard people say were drawbacks from a gameplay point of view in RDR2, I thought were positives; I loved the relative tank-like controls of Arthur... the laboured animations doing ANYTHING, which I know pissed a whole load of people off, I found great; it felt like I was controlling a real man opposed to an OP superhero-like game character, and once I made the mental shift, I loved it... it felt very idiosyncratic and artistically uncompromising in that sense. The script, the acting, the character arcs, the world, the scope... phenomenal.
Resonates further with me as I'm a sucker for the genre, speaking directly to my sensibilities and it delivered in spades. |
sonictheplumber
07.12.22 | all crap |
IsisScript80
07.12.22 | "Then in no order The Witcher 3, Horizon: Zero Dawn"
I had a personal issue there... I think I got burnt out on open world games, and even though I knew that 'Horizon Zero Dawn' was great as I was playing it, the genre tropes after playing Witcher felt tiresome and missions felt like re-skins of games such as that. Overkill, no doubt. |
IsisScript80
07.12.22 | "all crap"
Sure. Of course. |
widowslaugh123
07.12.22 | Rdr2 is a lot more challenging and fun if you turn auto aim off and play first person mode. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | I agree re: rdr2 isis, it took some getting used to but it became part of the charm |
Gyromania
07.12.22 | "Witcher 3 is absolutely LOADED with bullshit repetitive busy-work"
Idk man, witcher doesn't have you clearing outposts and getting vantage points to fill in your map and so on. It kind of helps too that witcher's sidequests are actually engaging and Gwent is one of the best optional things in a game |
Gyromania
07.12.22 | I think the thing that holds RDR2 back for me is the linearity to missions. You have to do everything exactly like Rockstar wants you to, otherwise "mission failed" |
TalonsOfFire
07.12.22 | The lack of fast travel and some of the things they make you do to add realism are kind of annoying at times, but it’s an incredible game overall. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.12.22 | @gyro I like filling in maps, whether it’s how they do it in got or botw. SOME of witchers side quests are engaging. Many are shit. And the map is absolutely overloaded with bullshit tasks, like worse so than Skyrim. The treasure and monster icons being the worst offences. I like that ghost of Tsushima and breath of the Wild are sparse and atmospheric instead of cluttered. |

07.12.22 | Trigger warning Witcher 3 isn’t even a top 10 open world game |

rockarollacola
07.12.22 | 1 and 4 are two of my all-time favorite games from any console. |
CaliggyJack
07.12.22 | Lmao mods deleted my TurboGrafx list |

07.12.22 | persona 5 and ghosts of tsushima are GOATed |

07.12.22 | 'Trigger warning Witcher 3 isn’t even a top 10 open world game'
yeah trying to replay that game made me realise theres a lot of glaring issues with it. world is cool, monsters are cool, voice acting from peasants blubbering about wodkins was cool. quest design was awful and boring, geralt is an unlikeable edgy twat, the combat really just sucks and boils down to cast the shield sign and roll.
pretty overrated game all in all |
ConcubinaryCode
07.12.22 | GoT does have unique ways to tell you where you're going and how to get around which I think gives it a slight advantage over the regular ubi trash. It's also drop dead gorgeous but what game isn't nowadays.
Also the only good things that came from days gone were the memes when that one director went on a tirade on Twitter. He targeted gamers...gamers.

Mort.
07.12.22 | lol what. what was he getting angry about? the games poor reception? |
neekafat
07.12.22 | Will the Madness ever end |
ConcubinaryCode
07.12.22 | Basically Mort. I'll dig up receipts if you're interested.
https://gamerant.com/days-gone-developer-buy-full-price/
Tl:Dr he blames people that didn't buy the game at full price for the game not getting a sequel. A lot of people clowned on him by saying the game wasn't worth full price basically. |
Sharenge
07.12.22 | >Lmao mods deleted my TurboGrafx list
*rolls eyes* jfc |
Mort.
07.13.22 | lol what a dipshit. why the fuck in this climate would you ever buy a game for full price on release? its just a surefire way to get ripped off |
Mort.
07.13.22 | also, i was someone who was very hyped for days gone when the early footage came out, and lost all interest when i saw how much theyd changed. the hordes looked great at first, and then they reduced their numbers and made them a lot dumber from what i remember. game also had such a bland design. generic white guy on a motorbike, who gives a shit? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.13.22 | Knew I could count on mort for a realistic Witcher 3 take |
ConcubinaryCode
07.13.22 | Yeah, I think everyone has a story about getting ripped off for buying a full price game blind. Mine was Evolve way back when. I do like that walmart knocks off 10$ for new releases so I still occasionally buy a few new games but rarely. GoW5 might be one of those times. |
ConcubinaryCode
07.13.22 | Hey pots you ever get to playing Resident Evil remake? |
CaliggyJack
07.13.22 | Bought BattleBorn deluxe edition. I enjoyed the game, but apparently everyone else didnt. |
ConcubinaryCode
07.13.22 | I've heard a few people say Battleborn was actually pretty fun it just came out at the absolute worst time possible. Kinda like titanfall 2 did. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.13.22 | Not yet but I will, just switching it up first. Playing Catherine right now |
ConcubinaryCode
07.13.22 | Oh, word? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.13.22 | Yeah it is um… a game for sure |
Gyromania
07.13.22 | isn't catherine just a softcore porno for weebs?
|
Gyromania
07.13.22 | i'm playing through heavy rain again atm. this game is downright fucking hilarious sometimes. i never realized how funny interactions are when you just say nothing |
Underflow
07.13.22 | The thing that drove me nuts about Days Gone is how your bike would run out of gas and you'd have to search for more to keep using it. So annoying. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.13.22 | It’s a puzzle game for weebs so far about the same perv level as persona 5 |
ConcubinaryCode
07.13.22 | It's worse |

FreakMachine
08.13.22 | 9i is one of my favourites I think |
CaliggyJack
08.14.22 | Yeeeeees Days Gone is underrated! |
FreakMachine
08.14.22 | PC version is even better due to the implementation of screen space GI, which is actually a really forward thinking idea given GI has historically been probe based and therefore nowhere near as accurate, whilst being nowhere near as heavy as RTGI |
CaliggyJack
08.14.22 | The Story gave me so many emotions |
FreakMachine
08.14.22 | "The Story gave me so many emotions" - Yeah, I do agree with the consensus though that it takes far too long to really get going. I still like those early hours, but the Iron Mike camp section takes far too long |
FreakMachine
09.06.22 | "Nice to see DMC 5 so high... then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from your profile pic ;] Capcom really has one of the best redemption arcs of any game developer imo "
Um, their PC ports say differently... |
CaliggyJack
09.06.22 | Works fine on pc for me |
FreakMachine
09.07.22 | I wasnt referring to DMC5, that game has no excuse for if it didnt work fine. All tweakable settings only affect cut scenes in that game, including things like SSAO which is disabled in game play. The base ps4 was using max settings already, and the xbox one s only has a couple of tweaks to shadows and bloom in cut scenes. This in itself makes it a shoddy PC port as there are loads of areas the visuals could have been improved in gameplay
The games I was referring to are RE2, 3, 8, and the two most recent Monster Hunter games. RE2 and 3 were broken by their ray tracing update so badly that capcom publicly apologized and restored their earlier versions, RE8 was a broken mess at launch due to the interface between Denuvo and Capcoms own DRM ( most PC users instantly blame Denuvo but it's usually more complex than that), Monster Hunter World scaled horribly, and Rise is generally acknowledged as one of the worst PC ports of the last decade.
Capcom have a lot to redeem going forward, in the PC space |
CaliggyJack
09.07.22 | Hmm yeah I only played RE2 on pc but that was before the update so that sucks |
