I wish I could say I was excited about this but tbh after playing the demo, it just felt kinda tedious and more than a little buggy. Like an item I needed to progress early on just straight up vanished. I really like the setup and setting so I was hoping the gameplay loop would be good, but it just didn’t click with…

The base series’ mishandling of Carol (who was, for me, debatably the coolest character on the show) plus the increasingly ridiculous nature of the war with the Saviors was what finally got me to jump ship. Negan was a much more compelling and clear villain in the comic, so Glenn’s death wasn’t really surprising or a…

I’ve only watched part of the first episode so far; my primary complaint would be just ridiculously expository dialogue.  Like they apparently don’t trust the audience at all to figure out that a young child might run away from the overwhelming responsibility of being the Avatar and saving the world after being told…

I mean, Fire Lord Sozin literally burns a guy to death, fully on screen, in the first 5 minutes of the first episode; so.

I don’t know that I agree that it’s ‘bad design’ necessarily; tbph, speaking for myself at least, if the tradeoff for having every climbable area in FW be completely and obviously intuitive is having that game be as pretty as it is, I’ll take it.

Ah, now the PC players get the fancy clouds too (they honestly are surprisingly impressive, lol)

Have a friend who said he likes the show but is kind of turned off by the gore; had to warn him that assuming it continues to follow the basic outline of the comic, it is only going to get markedly worse.

The sound of an acorn falling on sheet metal isn’t even remotely like the sound of a 9mm, suppressed or not.  I feel like you’re taking lessons from movies on what suppressed gunshot sounds like.

Yeah, others have mentioned Ghostwire: Tokyo; I included that because I googled a list of exclusives to make sure I hadn’t missed any, and that entry was clearly mistaken. And yeah, if we count PC, the list gets even smaller for sure.

PS5 exclusives that aren’t remakes, which is why I left Demon’s Souls off to begin with.  My overall point was that the library of stuff that’s exclusive to a 5 year old console and not a remake/remaster, crossgen, or multiplatform is pretty small.

Um... directly from the article?

I didn’t mind his Ultimate FF incarnation, at least at first, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t what they’d go with.  I was talking more about Reed’s... well, disgusting attitude and behavior towards Sue from that era.

Are they seriously doing a campy 60s take on it?  That could potentially be great.  So long as Reed Richard’s 1960s attitudes don’t come with.

Shit, you’re right, I completely forgot about them.

Fair.

Demon’s Souls is also a remake, although I admittedly haven’t played it yet so I can’t say whether there’s enough gap between it and the original for it to count as something else.

Ragnarok, GT7, and Forbidden West are all crossgen, with the exception of the Forbidden West dlc, and the TLoU remakes / remasters are remakes and remasters, all of which I purposely excluded from my list.  My point was to draw attention to the small number of original titles that have been released primarily / only…

Yeah, I forgot about the Forbidden West DLC. And yeah, agreed, Ghosts of Tsushima 2 would be nice.

To be honest the PS5 first party catalog, for a 5 year old system, when you take away the remakes and remasters, is... pretty anemic already without taking an entire year off. What actual 1st party / major exclusives are actually on the system right now? Returnal, FF7 Remake (which I consider an original title just…

Coming soon: "get your package by Wednesday, or get it by Tuesday if you watch 5 minutes of ads"
