It took me about 70 hours before I finally beat the game, but then I took a lot of time exploring all the side content.  Also I spent like 4 hours just fighting Radahn, I am not that great a player.  But like Jeremy said, it’s fun to see what pros can do to this game.

Im sure he saved a lot of time by not answering the phone every time his cousin called.

Wondering why this remains Kotaku’s most recent article 12+ hours later on a weekday? https://gmgunion.com/

This seems like a non-issue. Finding places to just put your controller down without any risk of bad consequences aren’t exactly hard in Elden Ring.
Just kill the enemies you’re currently engaged in or walk like 5 seconds away from them and you’re safe.

I like to leave useful messages. Getting randomly healed when someone approves it is pretty neat.

it’s better to call her a thief than an Eco-terrorist.

The original is about 25 years old. For all we know that was the last time he played it so he could just be confusing details.

“Celebrate us for pretending to take a stance months after it became acceptable to do so as we continue our silence towards studios in the room no doubt doing the exact same fucking things.”

I do really like Gregg Miller in some ways but dude is a kind of calculated phoney that really irks me. He’s like a much more likable Jimmy Fallon(Pete Holmes?) in that he has a fakeness to him that even you know he knows I laid on too thick. I wish Jeff Gerstmann was more mainstream because while he’s sometimes…

I mean, games like this are fien if it is with actual friends and you run through together.

I’d like to know why the hell you all arent calling them out on their still broken for many game.  I havent been able to play because of deathloops and coop doesnt work at all.  It seems to affect console versions only.  Its really freaking ridiculous.

Gotta disagree on adding WoW there. The fact that it’s an open MMO that lets you play the character how you want to play the character (not in a systems way, but a character and role play way) very much makes it an RPG.

It’s been said, but for me it is the lackluster RPG design that is keeping me from playing. I played about 15 hours and the gameplay just wasn’t emergent enough for me. It never felt like I was discovering solutions to missions, it felt like I was either picking solution A or solution B based on my skill tree.

I agree. Adaptive triggers are great for some of the gameplay (guns) but driving is already “meh” in the game and it just slogs it down. For most games I do have the adaptive triggers off, as cool as they are, sometimes can be a hinderance. 

I tried the demo, and the adaptive triggers are great for the guns, but the way they’re used for the driving makes no sense. It makes smooth acceleration nearly impossible. And since you can’t turn them on just for shooting, I wound up just disabling them all together.

That’s not how FF7R worked at all for me. I just chose to install the PS5 version, since I didn’t have the PS4 version installed before that. So it’s definitely supposed to be possible to install only the one version.

Yeah if you have it digitally it isn’t a huge deal, but if you have the PS4 disc these upgrades are often a confusing mess. Some make you keep the PS4 data on your storage (FF7 remake) while others allow you to delete the PS4 data and just insert the disc as a ownership check. Even worse, the PS5 promotes both the PS5…

After reading the horror story published here about how cumbersome and strange it was to get the saves from PS4 FF7R to PS5 FF7R I had some anxiety. There was even a 7 paragraph “how-to” explainer posted by Kotaku for it. All of 30 seconds later, all I could think was “THIS was deserving of a fearmongering article?”

*spends 15 seconds navigating to Cyberpunk 2077 in my library and clicking an install button* 

Dude, it’s literally repeating what Rotten Tomatoes own site regards 50% as.
