I played through FFVII:R and enjoyed the combat quite a bit. Then I played through it again on hard and was absolutely blown away by the depth and fun and how much there actually was to optimize.

I enjoy FF7R’s gameplay. I do not enjoy FF16's. Honestly if they’d made the combat in 16 more like FF7R I might have had a lot more fun playing but as it currently stands I’m not really vibing with it. Well, that and the tone of the story in FF16 isn’t really something that appeals to me.

My only real complaint with…

Have people soured on Final Fantasy VII: Remake’s combat? Because like, I am in the middle of replaying it, and I’d like more, please. Just finished the main game and am starting the Yuffie episode, and the Synergize and other minor quality of life fixes make me think that system has legs. Their upgrade system is...is…

In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her. There is a lessen here about the fact that the misogyny in the game industry is reinforced…

I’m unsure you understand what the word “propaganda” means, but this article certainly certainly shows that the word you were looking for this entire time was “celebration”. Astro’s Playroom is a celebration of all things Playstation, for fans that have been on the entire journey, fans that were there for only part of…

Eye kan reed gud!   /sigh

Maybe it’s just me but Bluepoint games look better than most games in terms of the 4K visuals. There’s this vibrant uber sharp clarity to their games. It’s in Shadow of the Colossus and now it’s in Demon’s Souls. I don’t see other games reaching this intense sharp quality that pops on the screen. It looks almost…

Tell a Souls fan that the remaster is incredibly faithful in terms of gameplay...and of course they’ll find something to complain about.

And if you do decide to blow your Viking attack horn to start a raid, you can’t freely kill monks or innocent people who are running for their lives. Doing so will cause you to fail the raid. Even if you spare the innocents and only attack churches, you are still burning homes and churches to the ground and stealing…

For the most part, the enemies you as the protagonist killed in the strongholds of the earlier games were Templars or at least Templar-allied thugs. The churches/settlements you burn and pillage in Valhalla may ostensibly be tied to “bad guy” kings, but there’s a qualitative difference, and that may be enough to leave…

Hi Zack, I read a few other Valhalla reviews and a number of them mentioned that the game was buggy.  One reviewer wasn’t able to finish the game after putting in 60 hours because of the bugs.  Did you run into any issues at all?

I’m excited to play it, but like you mentioned I’m just not sure about the pillaging monasteries and the whole conquest thing. You think you can divorce yourself from things given that it’s a game and obviously not real life, but it’s hard sometimes. I hated that I had to kill the war elephants in Origins to 100% the…

Is there much storyline involving religious reasons for fighting?  A number of conflicts in England at that time involved Christians vs. Pagans.

Sounds like a pretty ham handed way of handling the morality of a pro-imperialism protagonist.

streamlined loot system.

YES YES YES. So glad they got rid of that tedious system. I was so sick and tired of getting 50 variants of the same f*cking weapon. It was the same thing that killed my enjoyment of Darksiders II.

It’s like, STOP TRYING TO BE AN MMO FOR FFS.

Deal with it 

I get what you’re saying about exclusives, but I gotta have me some Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, Last of Us, and God of War. Missing out on those is a deal breaker for me.

It is actually open for everyone to join, we ended the closed beta 3 days ago. Hope everyone enjoys warhawk ! We did not update that on our website, we will have that changed. thanks for the article !

Boo because all cops are bad everywhere in in fantasy worlds in video games apparently.  Its a moronic thing thats going on right now where Americans want anything that give any police a somewhat positive spin to be banned even if they're not American cops

I think my beef with games like this is my time is becoming more valuable and less available as I get older and have other responsibilities. So anytime something starts really slow like this I’m immediately inclined to toss it out. I’m sure it has a lot of really cool systems that you have to learn, but let me get…
