exquisite tea posted:Some of the reviews have pointed out in a non-spoilery way that Kratos' past is central to the plot, that it's not a total break from the mythology of the first three games. The reviews have been very careful about talking about the story. I am guessing some serious poo poo goes down. Surprising since the story in GoW was always just Kratos killing gods and nothing more.

Montalvo posted:I'll probably do what I did with Horizon Zero Dawn and play Dad War God like 1 year after it releases after renting it for 5 dollarydoos. For some reason getting in on the ground floor of single player AAA games isn't that appealing to me. I'm looking forward to reading about people's impressions of it though, and I hope people like it! Ya this is what I've done this gen as well. Just wait for the game to drop in price and also by that time there is an special edition with all DLC. Only reason to play at launch is if you want to be in the zeitgeist even if there is a possibility the game will be in a better/more complete state later on.

SettingSun posted:I'm willing to bet based on pedigree alone that they greenlit a trilogy while this one was in development. Ya I actually remember reading this somewhere or hearing it. I thought it was confirmed trilogy in Norse mythos. Probably will have the rest of series on PS5 or w.e sony makes next. quote:I'm gonna pre order and play dad of war on release day because playing new games when they are new is exciting, because I like to support people making good games that aren't multiplayer lootbox filled shite, and also because I have zero impluse control The thing is I have bought many games on release but never played them due to a huge backlog. So for me it is just better to wait for a sale so even if I buy it and don't play for a few months I won't feel as bad.

Bubba Smith posted:The 3 games will play differently enough to co-exist unless Team Ninja or FromSoft really revamp their formulas for action games. Nioh is driven by missions/chapters that you grind out for gear. Tsushima is way more cinematic, story-driven open world game. Sekiro is gonna fall between the two of those, with enough FromSoft kooky poo poo to keep it fun. Ya pretty much. I don't understand people saying the 3 feudal japan games are all the same. Also it isn't really a period/setting that has been explored in video games since ps2 days(minus Nioh) so I am hyped. Tsushima had some frames/shots that looked like something out of a Kurosawa movie.

Morby posted:Onimusha was my poo poo back in the day, and Ghosts reminds me of that. It’ll be a day one for me. Same with Sekiro. There was a trademark leak for Onimusha a while back. It seemed to hint at a remaster/compilation. Ghosts combat does seem slower paced like Onimusha but Onimusha had heavy horror vibes especially the first one. I am sure there will be some creepy moments in Sekiro but it seems more of an action game thus far.

Maybe you could set it to zoom and then set your display-safe area in the console's settings to the lowest value, but I'd be surprised if that worked at all well. Ya ok, I was thinking it would just add black bars wasn't sure. Thanks.

Just saw the Ghost of Tsushima story trailer. The game looks absolutely gorgeous, the story looks pretty good which is a + for a suckerpunch game. I just feel like if the combat is as fun as the infamous games this could be a big *hit.

I never played the games originally but the remaster I did, 1 was my favorite, 2 is not bad but I still haven't finished it and didn't like it as much as 1. That bridge level on the first game is legendary for a reason.

Almost done with Uncharted 4. Man this is a brilliant series, I am normally more into gamey games and Uncharted gameplay is barebones as hell but the characters + writing is top notch from Naughty Dog. The visuals also really help elevate the voice actors performances. Only disappointing thing is that the set pieces aren't as good as the previous games or too similar to them.

What's the opinion on Infamous Second Son? I just play the exclusives on my PS4 and been getting whichever ones are cheap. Everyone seems to have forgotten about this game, I loved Infamous 1&2 on ps3. It was a very fun superhero game with great movement and cool powers although 2 kinda got repetitive with very similar powers.

You don't need the base game for First Light I assume, I will get it whenever it goes on sale.

Ya that kinda sounds spot on, Suckerpunch's worlds are normally lifeless but the character is really fun to play as. This looks like both might be lifeless. Anyway I think I will give Suckerpunch the benefit of doubt, I haven't played the last Infamous but for the most part they don't really make BAD games and I love the setting so I will get it day 1.

On the talks of Mongol representation in video games, they do have that stereotype of being a barbaric horde that just invades like a swarm. From what I've played, I only remember being able to play Mongols in strategy games like Total War or Aoe2. They are represented pretty well in those games as a incredibly strong combat based faction. Also I think for a historical period to be romanticized properly the ancestors of said population need to be influential in some way. Japan, Italy, China are all great examples of this. They had dominant historical civilizations but their ancestors also survived to tell the tale and glorify their deeds. I mean Mongolia is still a place but it has less people than LA alone. That and the fact that nomad tribes weren't into writing or keeping records.

Evil Canadian posted:One thing I really dig about Ghosts of Tsushima is the fact you can go full on warrior, or at least seemingly so? There are so many countless games with the stealth and all that crap, I like there's an actual mechanic for you to just state "Hey I am here out in the open come fight me cowards", its different. Ya the stealth might be broken but just looks like straight QTE, melee armor looks baller but the game will probably make sure you try out both so we'll see how stealth feels.

Just started Last of Us remastered. Like 3-4 hour in, it's pretty good thus far even though I had really high expectations. The atmosphere and the world feels really great, reminds me like the best of Walking Dead and I Am Legend in terms of setting. The presentation and production is top notch as usual for Naughty Dog, although I just played Uncharted 4 but that is their newer game so it's a bit better there. Also there is actual gameplay unlike Uncharted which is the most generic TPS ever. The survival/stealth mechanics are nothing new but the atmosphere ND puts in the game really elevates it. That being said so far I feel like the story up to this point has been fairly predictable. The only thing I knew coming in was Ellie and Joel's names. Hopefully that changes as the game goes on.

mysterious frankie posted:Last of Us was one of a very slim volume of games that my wife wanted to watch me play from beginning to end, ie, I could do what I want and play without her, but it would have been on par with skipping ahead on a show we were both watching. Mainly she either doesn't care at all, or she'll maybe look up if it sounds like something wacky is happening, so that really says something about the quality of presentation. Doubly so because she's way over anything zombie or zombie-adjacent. Eh the last sentence is true even if I wish I could say games had better stories. Naughty Dog have really pushed the narrative side in the industry and props to them. They are also one of the few devs who push diversity in their games so I don't mind supporting them even if sometimes the gameplay in their games is average(uncharted mainly). I was just imagining Nadine in Tlou setting and thinking she would gently caress poo poo up. JollyBoyJohn posted:drat Genichiro is a complete roadblock for me, he feels so satisfying to fight but man im being schooled. He's the first boss I've taken more than 2 "sessions" to beat. That definitely is the moment that makes or breaks the game for most people. It's my favorite fight in the game because even though there is better fights afterwards it really is the moment where you know this game is something special. That boss took me a lot of time too because I was playing the game incorrectly up until that point.

MeatwadIsGod posted:I played Demon's Souls after having played DS1 and DS3 and it's still my favorite Souls game. Valley of Defilement and Tower of Latria ftw Mah Man! Ya that is honestly some of the best level design by From in terms of pure atmosphere. As you go through the level, the level itself tells a story. Tower of Latria is a prison for the insane and the boss at the conclusion of the area clones herself during the fight. Even if you kill her she respawns making the player question his sanity. Did I really kill this piece of poo poo or no? As soon as you leave the boss area the fog gate returns. What brilliant design. Of course you have to destroy the critter at the top of the church, to kill her perma but I feel like a lot of players will miss it in their first attempt. Valley of Defilement isn't as oppressive as Blighttown but it is a lot grotesque. Probably one of the most grotesque level by From to date. The Astrea boss arena with the dead fetuses pulling you down is something else. Also it's a really unique fight and the theme for the boss is a great Piano track. DeS definitely isn't the best Souls in terms of action but it's probably still the most unique in terms of level design, boss design and not just because it came out first. It was my first Fromsoft game and my first PS3 game so I do have lots of nostalagia for it. I still have my PS3 but I haven't hooked it up for a while, definitely interested in replaying it. Just waiting to see if I should play the OG version or Bluepoint are indeed remaking it.

Yo what's up with zombie fiction like Tlou/Walking/IAmLegend where cars rust in a extremely fast time span? I mean wouldn't the only real issue be the oil change and reving up the engine when you first start it. Literally in the chapter in TLOU where you can't find 1 single operating car in a massive city filled with cars.

Backward compabtibility on PS5 would be amazing. I use to not care about the feature at all in the past but my gaming habits have changed over time and I tend to replay games a lot more now than before. Can someone answer how would BC work for digital purchases? You just redownloaded/link your account? Cause I have almost no physical discs for PS4.

Ok nice, don't have a Xbone but if we could get backward compatibility like that it would awesome. Also one of the few things Microsoft did well this gen is backward compatibility improving games performance for certain titles. Like I know you can play Ninja Gaiden at 4k 60fps on Xbone.

Finished Tlou remasted and the dlc. It was drat good and it actually has decent gameplay compared to Uncharted games which are the most generic tps with no replay value. I still don't think I will replay TLOU since the story is such a big part of it's strength but the gameplay isn't bad either. Story wise I didn't have any complaints as usual ND nails the character relations and dialogue better than anyone. They do give you new weapons at a good pace but the enemy design is the same. I mean really no animal infected? Such an easy way to have more enemies than just bandits/clickers/bloaters. There is almost no difference between clickers/runners in how you approach them. I really hope they either add a few more boss fights like David or increase regular enemy variations for the sequel. Another thing that bothered me, I have only seen the footage from last year for TLOU2 but I hope if you play as both Joel/Ellie there is more of a difference between them. If I remember correctly the only difference is that Ellie's knife never breaks. To ND's credit they did kinda differentiate the Ellie sections by giving you no weapons so you did feel like helpless child at times but another thing they could have improved on. I don't think its a perfect game for me cause the gameplay issues bothered me but a few improvements in the sequel and it could be there. Also the OST is godly, more acoustic in my osts please!
