Yeah funny that, no excuses about gaming being too expensive to make no excuses about other bullshit things going on in the industry, no bowing down to bullshit ideologies either, now I hear Sony's going to bow down to it though, I hope it's not true but I've been hearing that Sony is trying to censor this game which is the wrong move to make, and it sounds to me like they're being influenced by Black Rock and Vanguard like all the other companies that bow down to the ESG Dogma mentality, problem is if they do this more often, they can effectively destroy their entire platform, I really hope that doesn't happen because it's good to have competition in the gaming market, because it means better games when there's competition, I don't want them to lose their business for some stupid decision they made, I want them to continue to exist.

@DanteMasaru2 ай бұрын
As most seem to overlook, (and/or hate to admit): focusing on content creation and one platform only usually results in a better product. Exclusivity is a testament of a studio's budget, time, and other resources not being split between multiple platforms, which usually results in said resources being more diminished. That's not to belittle or dismiss multiplatform games, but how often less optimized multi-plat games are compared to exclusive games? If one values quality over accessibility, exclusives are a benefit to the consumer. Yoshinori Kitase has gone on record saying that the vastness/scope and volume of FFVII Rebirth wouldn't have been possible if Rebirth was a multiplatform project.

I've played about 10 hours. The world and characters are amazing in detail. The combat is really fun. As someone who struggled and quit Sekiro too many times to count and I'm still going to go back and probably quit again. With that said parry in this game is way more forgiving and the enemy hit tells are easier. It is a fun to play game. I'm not a story guy, I'm a gameplay and world guy. And this hits those points just fine. Will recommend.

@@haydendodson258As someone who quit playing bloodborne and ds3 before coming back and completing ds3 and elden ring. The biggest advice o can give to you is yo just keep running in these games. Pick up the items and the bonfires but dont bother yourself with smaller enemies. Its a lot less frustrating that way

It looks really cool. I really hope this one gets a PC version eventually. The only problem i did notice was that there is this one shout sound effect that she uses way way too often. It got annoying in this video alone. I really hope im not the only one who thinks that way and people actually give feedback to the devs to fix this. This would be such an easy fix, just add more shout voice lines and make that one have a lower chance of being picked

@@jporob as a fan of story games, and someone who looks primarily for a good story, characters and soundtrack first, but also appreciates great gameplay, I couldn't disagree more. A game can have a super fun awesome gameplay loop or combat system, but it won't draw me back into replaying or thinking fondly of the game outside of playing it like a good story, characters and music would. A mechanically fun game will give me a fun time while playing, but I've played a story game that changed my life drastically. A game couldn't do that to me with gameplay.

From what I played of the demo, I agree about how fighting multiple enemies feels clunky. I think the biggest issue is that it doesn't really seem like you can cancel attacks to block or dodge. Your stuck committing to them, so finding an opening when surrounded by a mob of weak enemies is a pain. Hopefully that gets mitigated some later in the game, or in a patch at some point, though it might make boss fights _too_ easy, so maybe not. Either way, not as obnoxious as Dark Souls 2's attack queuing, so I'll live.

Already preordered it. I am really looking forward to it. At first I thought it would be decent at best but after I played the demo I just fell in love with the gameplay and couldnt get enough. At that point I already knew I would be preordering it even if the story wouldnt be that good. I also already knew about Shift Up since I am playing one of their mobile games and the fact that its such a decent game for their first try in this market is making me hopeful. I am really surprised and hope it sells well so they take more steps into AAA developent in the future!

Hey supposedly this game has good story and characters. Based on what I gleamed from the demo it definitely won't be as amazing of a story and cast of characters as either NieR game, but I'm willing to bet that it certainly has better story and characters than the majority of other story and character driven games.
