Sabo

-Combat has become literally nothing but spamming Beta and Burst skills.

-Normal attacks do minimal damage even with a highly upgraded sword and the only reason to use Normal attacks is to recharge Beta energy.

-All the Normal attack gear is useless so just equip Beta/Burst related gear.

-Parries are pointless because Perfect Dodge recharges Burst energy.

-Retribution system might as well not even exist.

-The "super" mode is underwhelming because it's damage output is pathetic even when you spam Skills. Its only use is the invincibility so you can tack on "free damage" for 10 seconds.

The combat in this game falls flat on its face once you reach late game LOL.

Game is basically AC: Japan but has way too much bloat.

Yup. I was hoping for something Way of the Samurai like, got AC garbage instead. What a disappointment...

Most of the outfits are crazy revealing and you can see her panties a lot of the time. Don't understand what this fuss is about.

Yup. I think a lot of them are a little too coomer for my tastes TBH. A lot of them are just tacky... I basically only use the Racer Yellow, Planet Diving 2nd (all black one), and the Cyber Magician outfits. There's like 30 outfits in the game and I only have like 15 outfits unlocked so far. Out of those 15 I only use 3. I'm hoping there's some other decent looking ones left to find because if it's just more coomer shit then all the bitching makes zero sense.

The Wastelands in Stellar Blade are basically killing the game for me. Just a big ass zone that is boring to run around in. The combat has lost a lot of its shine as well because the same handful of enemies are just copy pasted all over the place. Not getting the praise for the combat, its pretty mid TBH.

Yeah, the graphical jump from PS3/360 to PS4/XOne really wasn't that big. There's quite a few games from the PS3/360 era that still look good even by today's standards.

Didn't care for the game but FF XIII is a way more visually pleasing game than FF XVI is.

Gears of War 3 still looks good.

Look at Bayo and Bayo 3, Bayo 3 looks better but not by much.

GG Xrd is another game that comes to mind. Compare that game to GG Strive and sure, Strive looks better but it really doesn't look that much better.

MT Framework games in general all still look good (Resident Evil games, DMC4, Dragon's Dogma).

Tales of Xillia's 2 character models really aren't that far behind in comparison to Tales of Arise's.

Those are just off the top of my head, I'm sure if I actually looked through my collection I'd find plenty more examples.

The point is the PS3/360 could definitely run P3 Reload. It's really not that visually intensive. Its also a turn based JRPG as well so it's not like there's any complicated/heavy CPU actions going on.

I can't even go to YouTube without this game flooding my feed. I've basically had the whole game spoiled for me at this point so I don't really have any interest to play the game now.

It's a short manga series that Akira Toriyama did like decades ago.

Post apocalyptic setting, the world has limited water supplies so society is basically fighting over what little water is left. Main characters are Beelzebub (yes, that demon prince), his assistant Thief, and Sheriff Rao(?).

Nothing about the game seemed good when it came out. Im surprised you bothered with it.

Impulse buy a few months ago. Think I got it for like 15 bucks? Can't remember.

Fuckin' delayed again... 

I can actually see them dropping the Switch name and calling it something new. 

Finished Scars Above. Don't recommend, play literally anything else. Game is only like 6 hours long but it's the most bland 6 hours ever because everything about the game is just so damn basic. It's like the perfect average game.

To be fair there are already plenty of playable characters based on the footage we’ve seen. If they’re as developed and play as well as they did in the first game then that will be fine.

And only one of them is new- Red XIII. Cid's confirmed to not be playable as well. The rest of the playable characters are characters people have already played with. The characters will get some tweaks and new moves but they're not going to play any differently from the previous game which means combat is going to feel very familiar, very fast. A couple new characters would've helped with that. There isn't enough new being implemented which means combat in this game is going to end up feeling too same-y.

It's a business. They'll probably give you full control by FF7 Reunion, coming for ps6 etc at this rate.

 

And I'd rather they create a prequel to ff7 highlighting the Cetra's battle against Jenova than all these spin-offs.

That'd be cool bit I wouldn't trust these fucks to pull it off well. They'd ruin it.

Vincent isn't playable in VII Rebirth. He'll be a companion character like Red XIII was in VII Remake.

Purposely holding Vincent back just so they can charge you for the eventual VII Rebirth: Intermission or whatever the fuck they'll call it where Vincent will be playable.

i rarely buy physical copies, so it's fine.

Same. My PS4 collection is like nearly 200 games and only 6 of them are physical copies because they were gifts from birthdays/Christmas.

The only difficulty spikes I can remember is the double boss fight that's pretty infamous.

why does it matter? they are trying to move subs, not physical copies. 

B3cause seeing those numbers will give an idea of how effective this strat is. Fuckin' duh.  

We'll know how many subscribed for just 1 month to play Starfield and how many decided to stick around after that month is done.

How much of those are Gamepass though? I'd imagine it'd be a pretty significant amount. Hell, there's people who bought a 1 month subscription just to play Starfield and then plan to cancel afterwards.

I still can't believe they're charging 70 bucks for this. If it was like 35 bucks or so I don't think people would be shitting on the game so much.

The first one really grew on me. Watching the twists that put on the classic Job formula and Summons was fun and by the end of the game I was a little disappointed because I wanted more. I rarely preorder games but I'm preordering this one.

Fuck FF VII Rebirth, fuck P3 Remake... THIS is the JRPG of 2024.

Seeing as how everything Microsoft touch dies…YES! Look at what the fuck they did to Halo! You really want these retards in charge of Mario, Peokemon and Zelda?

I don't care what happens to Nintendo. I don't play their games.

The most useless remake of all time. 

 

We upgraded the graphics from PS2 to PS3 levels. 

 

70$ please. 

HEY!

They changed the voice cast too, buddy!

And I'll have you know the new voice cast is worse than the original, thank you very much.

maybe for casuals, but bg3 been getting lots of hypes since they went early access

Yeah, and the people playing the early access were people within BGs circle. 

Dude, WTF is up with the hitboxes in this game?

Did they have an intern code all the collision boxes in this game or something? 

Some of the attacks in this game have the most bullshit hitboxes I've seen. I literally get hit by shit that's like 10 feet away from me LOL. I would be annoyed if it wasn't so damn comical.

I'm not dying or anything and I don't even think the game is hard but the amount of times I've been hit by something thats made me go:

 "WHAT? Are you serious?"

Or

"HOW!? I'm 5 feet BEHIND you!"

Or

"Where's my flag, ref? That's an illegal hit"

The collision in this game is just clownshoes nonsense.

Saudi Arabia is looking to buy Nintendo. Would you all rather have that happen?
