Yeah definitely give it a go. It's constantly making me drop Dragon's Dogma 2 to play a run tbh. It's core card gameplay is the same as Slay but the structure of the game is a little cooler imo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,727 Posted Friday at 11:21 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:21 PM Ghostrunner was pretty good. Boss fights were pretty eh and there's some checkpoints that probably could have had the first 10-15 seconds of traversal cut out before a tough combat section, but was a lot of fun getting my ass kicked for a bit. I really wanted to try hardcore mode but I didn't realize you have to start it via level select and starting a new game would remove your ability to play hardcore mode. In the game's defense, the game has a prompt telling you but I was just mashing through the prompts to start a new game with zero expectation that I'd cut myself off from something just by starting a new game lol. That and the lack of mid-level save points are some interesting design decisions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David P 28 Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Didn't want to make a thread so I'll just post this here. Ordered a few more physical PSVR2 games. Resident Evil Village Gold No Man Sky The Light Brigade The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners (PSVR1 but can be upgraded for free on PSVR2) I can't fucking wait. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted Sunday at 03:04 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:04 AM So I've been mostly positive in regards to Rise of The Ronin, but I just hit the 25 hour mark and its issues are becoming more apparent - I recently got to the 2nd map, which is a very neat setting but they just litter it with the same repetitive collectibles and side distractions from the first map. I cleared out most of that first map, but I definitely do not have the desire to go through many more hours of that same stuff again. - There is wayyyyy too much loot. Like seriously. At first I thought it was cool especially since it all changes how you look, but every little thing you do in the game seems to 'reward' you with multiple pieces of loot.....but 90% of everything you collect is worse than what you already have equipped, so you spend a lot of time either selling it or disassembling it for materials. -The main item you use to heal, Medicinal Pills, can only be found and not purchased. if you're low on those pills when you get to one of the game's many boss fights with no options to replenish them, well then good luck cause you're kind of fucked and will probably need to back out of the mission to collect more. - Most of the missions boil down to infiltrating some kind of base or settlement and killing the same few enemies inhabiting those areas. -The english voice acting can be pretty weak, even for some of the game's main characters. So yeah I can see why this got a lot of 7s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted Monday at 02:58 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:58 AM I heard good things about this point and click adventure game so I decided to check it out. Im really digging most everything about it so far, but man the puzzles can be really vague. Thats my only knock against it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a huge issue with ALL Team Ninja games. I have no idea why they carry over their horrendous loot system between games and who actually enjoys it. Nioh, Wo Long and now this all have this trash system where 99% of the loot is totally useless. Just a huge waste of time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You end up with so much trash that actually good pieces of equipment gets lost in the shuffle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention just how stupid it is when every enemy in something like NioH is vomitting a rainbow of shit every time they die 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having it as some added on bs to a souls-esque game is just dumb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is more a problem with new school diablo tbh. Diablo 2 has a lot of loot but it's very easy to parse what is and isn't worth picking up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted Monday at 01:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:59 PM I’m not that familiar with Nioh but I guess it makes sense ROTR has a similar loot system. It was probably easier and more cost effective to leave that stuff in there instead of ripping it all out. However if they ever make a new NG they will definitely need to streamline all that.

Casual 726 Posted yesterday at 02:36 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:36 AM Been playing a ton of season 9 of Project Diablo 2. One of the best fan made mods I can think of and it's really been gaining steam the last few seasons, probably more players online than D2R. They've done a great job expanding on the original game - added a ton of items/crafting, bunch of end game content, some new mechanics (corrupting probably being the big one) and really increasing the build variety by buffing some less powerful abilities. They also do a good job of shifting the meta every season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted yesterday at 03:06 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:06 AM Started playing Brotato. It’s like Vampire Survivors, but with guns and a series of 1 minute survival runs. It’s actually perfect for a 5 minute dopamine rush (super arcade-like). I just don’t have the time for a proper game. edit: it’s not as good as VS, but it hits the spot. It’s like fast food gaming.

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago - Bit more Dragon's Dogma 2 but largely my thoughts are the same. Ranges from good to incredibly frustrating. - Back in to Helldivers 2 and instantly in love with the game again. They've already added a ton of new stuff in the month of so I had stopped playing. Tripled the level cap, new ship modules, new strategmns, new missions plus the game is just ridiculously fun. Finished Suicide tier missions so have access to Impossible now. Some of the most cinematic moments I have ever seen in gaming and none are scripted. Just incredible. - Roguebook still taking me away from other stuff for a run here and there. - Randomly started Immortals of Aviuem. Didn't play much but surprised by the production levels. Literally is just a fps game with no guns though lol Seems as typical a 7/10 as you can imagine but can be mindlessly fun. Dave the Diver is now out on PS5 and has been very keen to try that out so will prob give that a go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
