How's the new Goku game?

I was curious so I checked out a stream of some gameplay and the English voice acting was awful. I haven't watched DBZ since elementary school so I don't know if it's in line with newer versions of the show, but it just sounds like bad acting. I don't plan on getting the game so I didn't watch long enough to judge gameplay.

I mean sure 4 bucks. Its a very redundant, unfinished game. Dont go out of your way to do all the side missions and it wont feel as rehashed.

drat I really want Streets of Rage but 26 bucks? On sale? I mean I'll beat it in an hour then not touch it again.

Beat it in that time and you can return it!

Assassin's Creed Odyssey was very fun but it overstayed its welcome bigtime. I finished the main quest after 85 hours, I completed the Lost Tales of Greece free postlaunch content, but I could not find the motivation to continue hunting the remaining cultists or get into the Atlantis questline (the first episode was enabled on my account). The main quest ended rather abruptly and was disappointing as hell, but I'm sure that doing the cult stuff I'm skipping gets you the more satisfying ending. I'll tell you what, watching the Ghost of Tsushima gameplay while doing a playthrough of Odyssey made GoT look lackluster as gently caress, I feel like I just played the game early.

Is Heavy Rain worth playing nowadays or should I just get Detroit? I watched a LP of Beyond Two Souls years ago and I'm not interested in that one. There's no continuity between the three, right?

I was too dumb for Outer Wilds. By the time I got over my fear of the scary parts, I couldn't figure out the final sequence without having to look up a guide and by that time I just watched a YouTube video and uninstalled the game.

All of FFXIV's quests are fetch quests, even through the "good" content of Stormblood and Shadowbringers. The story gets more interesting and animation gets better, but you are still going town to town doing chores. The variations of quests throughout all expansions are: Bring item to person, kill x of mob, "investigate" area (right-click shiny spot to trigger cutscene/fight or fulfill objective, or walk into purplish-shaded circle to trigger fight), or the occasional dungeon you must matchmake with others to complete. If you can't get into reading the story, then that's what you've got. I get bored of the gameplay really quick unless I'm high.

After playing the Horizon port for about an hour and running benchmarks... well it's not the worst launch day port I've seen, but I think you're probably gonna need a beefy system to overpower some of its shortcomings. It's also the most RAM hungry game I've seen in recent memory (!), like "must shut down Chrome before attempting to launch this" territory. I've been able to get it running pretty well and over 60fps at 1440p with some tweaks here and there, but if you don't have a good system I'd say wait and see at this point. I'm just disappointed because Horizon Zero Dawn is such a good game and I wouldn't want anybody's experiences to be less than stellar!

I mean isn't the game instantly better than on console, since it's playing above 30fps with increased graphical settings? I can't play it at 144fps at 1440p, but neither could anyone on PS4.

I uninstalled FFXIV today. I can breathe again! Even though it was a good FF game through Shadowbringers, it is still a MMO and I can't play these subscription games without getting addicted and feeling guilty when I play anything else while my sub is active.

Yes, Shadowbringers was good, it had some awesome moments (excellent soundtrack), but unfortunately I wouldn't have given a poo poo about it if I had done a story skip, so playing the first 3 chunks of game is pretty mandatory in my opinion to get invested enough for the payoff. In retrospect I wish I had ignored the game and played 10 other good games over the last year, but since I didn't and played this one, eh idk I'm conflicted. I don't regret playing it since it was good, I never hated the game, and I ignored the parts I didn't like because if I bothered grinding multiple classes or whatever it would've became a multiple years-long project when I was ready to wrap it up a couple months ago. Shadowbringers got so much hype that I got trapped halfway into the time investment and didn't want to quit without getting to the good stuff, so I pushed through, got my fix and I'm out of here. I wouldn't recommend the game unless you want an MMO to devote yourself to. If you feel like having a MMO gaming year or two, definitely go for it.

I think it's a PR thing. A cold, mechanical no sale no exceptions policy matches the mathematical motif of the game.

What's y'all's favorite Monster Hunter World weapon? Trying to get back in it, tried the heavy bowgun, thinking yeah I'll machine gun dinosaurs all day, but there aren't any wicked sweet combos, you just run a short distance and press the trigger. I can play any other thousand games to do that. My first 40 hours played two years ago was with the switch axe, which was cool but wanted to try something new this time around.
