Ratchet and Clank is really good, but there are parts where the story really shows it's a movie tie-in game. It gets very rushed towards the end with cutscenes taken from (presumably) longer stretches apart stitched into much-closer sections of gameplay. It causes things like Captain Qwark flipping allegiances multiple times in the span of around ten minutes.

It is still a fantastic game and well worth playing though.

the most fascinating thing to me was the game (which i enjoyed a ton) played out like it was missing key narration from the movie, while the movie was largely lifeless and little action that is fulfilled by the game.

Detroit given the date of May 25th and now it's hard to choose between DS1 remaster and the uniquely weird wonderful David Cage experience that awaits. I want Detroit to become a success, that David goes on business trips to celebrate, then that he runs into Tommy Wiseau and they get real drunk and decide to work on a game together.

Detroit really needs to deliver now that Until Dawn has come around and done the David Cage thing, but without any of the goony auteur bullshit.

Nier Automata is a bit weirdly balanced

Youll never have enough materials to upgrade more than few weapons to max if you just do sidequests and the main quest. Youll never upgrade your pods without a guide. Upgrading chips require extensive grinding or you can make do with what you get from quest rewards. Having your defense and attack tied to traditional level ups sucks.

The game isnt that long either. I feel like they shouldve toned down the RPG stuff and focus on this sick looking combat.

Still love the game tho because its cool and clever

I don't mind David Cage, that alone is weirder than a furry convention these days, according to the internet.

It's hard to get excited about a remaster of a game that's not that old and has had a bunch of sequels that haven't changed a lot of the formula.

If it was a remaster of Demon's Souls, maybe. But Dark Souls, again? Eh.

Detroit, on the other hand, is going to bonkers weird like all David Cage poo poo and will be worth a few nights of yelling at the screen with my friends.

Ill be pleasantly suprised if the characters in that David Cage game act and react to things like actual humans.

Also wasnt the big twist in their latest game that the main heroine was working for the bad guys and she learned this from a national news broadcast?

Fortunately David Cage has that part all figured out, and made most of the main cast androids.

David Cage needs his a "The Disaster Artist" book written about him so that one can begin to understand how he ended up the way he did, but do keep on believing the clickbait that appeared only after the Paris Games Week trailer upset people :v:

"Hi Everybody!"
Beyond Two Souls, where we bounce around vignettes of the protagonist's entire life... because it sounds like a cool idea, even though it undermines a story that would've been better told chronologically.

And has an unnecessarily-fully-rendered model of Ellen Paige naked in its art files.

David Cage is a huge dipshit and trying to tackle robot racism/slavery is even more outside of his element. He will gently caress up tremendously.

I mean, the loving trailer had all these white rear end androids with civil rights era freedom songs, that's already extremely iffy

Detriot will be probably worth a rental, his games are trainwrecks but they can have some cool individual scenes and are good for ripping on.

I can't believe Until Dawn didn't shame David Cage into quitting, that game did everything he wants to but with a much better understanding of the genre they're imitating and actually had a few choices matter beyond the scene they're made in.

Some people say you should whittle their health down equally but I have way more success killing katana, katana flames, then flames because their danger (to me) is in that order.

I guarantee he looked at Until Dawn and thought " this is so pedestrian" and went right back to writing an interactive tampon insertion scene.

Anyone having trouble with Shadows should just bring their own posse. You can make it a 3v3 rumble really easily so long as you've killed henryk with eileen and joined the league letting you get henyrk and madaras twin as NPC summons.

Its cheap but hilarious because it completely breaks the fight.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

yeah, the answer is neither. the game is gonna be a shitshow like all his other games, with a bunch of interesting ideas and concepts set up, but then either dropped or resolved in the dumbest most way possible. also it will be tone deaf and glitchy with bad gameplay.

if he ripped off Until Dawn and even tell tales gameplay. id like his crap a little more.

while i agree and add that gently caress up is a understatement. ill say that the main android rebel you play as is black at least.

I looked up that garbage Ratchet and Clank movie and it grossed $8 million against an unknown production budget. What a spectacularly bad idea.

You should absolutely play the game though, you can get into a third play through if you want to max out your weapons
