I’m glad I wasn’t the only one wondering wtf holding L1 +R1 was supposed to do. Figured out the double click on accident. I’m looking forward to getting into more combat today but the melee and dodging felt solid.

Atomic Heart looks really nice. Probably the best lighting I've seen this gen aside from Metro Exodus. One of the best looking games too. First hour was fun, hope it holds up.





That's all open world stuff, not cutscenes.

That isn't open world, it is the opening linear area.

Oh yeah, the New Zealand Trick works for Yakuza Ishin. You can start playing today.

I mean Digital Deluxe has has the game accessible since Friday afternoon (Americas time, was simultaneous worldwide launch). I even beat the game last night thanks to a well-placed national holiday and work snow day.

Yeah, I wasn't gonna pay 10 dollars for 3 days early access. How many hours did that take, that seems way too quick for a yakuza game unless you ignored sidequests, gambling etc and or gamed for like 40 hours in two days or something.

It took many hours. I did do some of the side content but I definitely got engrossed by the story like I tend to do with these games so I did go quite heavy on the story. My final playtime was something like 24 hours, give or take.

While on the subject of 1000 Gamerscore hunters, this game has probably the biggest grind of any RGG game to accomplish this, which is saying something. So buckle in if that's something you're looking to do, current unconfirmed estimates have it taking 120-150 hours if not longer. It also has very difficult combat even on Easy difficulty.

Atomic hearts eurojank confirmed?

They copied the eurojank loot every box and cabinet bullshit from CDPR games, added a magic loot vacuum to make that quicker, and then made that janky.

Going through 3 or 4 offices and hoovering up machine parts from filing cabinets made me appreciate, of all games, Call of Duty. At least in DMZ stuff is mostly stashed in logical places (stims in medicine cabinets, cash in cash registers, backpacks in lockers, etc).

I am genuinely confused. That is not the game's open world area, and nobody uses 'open world' to refer to gameplay vs cutscenes.

Honestly it really isn't. It guises itself as one but there are no solutions to anything besides straightforward fighting.

Just played past the intro, which was very pretty, and I'm now at the horny fridge.

So far, I'm enjoying it. The little combat I've had felt nice so far. Can't wait to play some more later.

Another win for the game pass haver.

They're putting Sony on an island but it isn't going to matter because the euro board is corrupt and it was never a fair fight to begin with.

Appreciate your view on this may differ if you exclusively own a PlayStation, but for me the path of “Less Arbitrary Bullshit” runs through this acquisition going through.

I am contrarian because the more Microsoft gives up the less I want the deal to go through because they absolutely think they are going to benefit enough to justify it and that probably isn't good in the long run.

But either way it is absurdly wealthy companies fighting over fake real money so eh.

If you search for the game on the store on your console, you get the option to 'Free Trial'.

Also, apparently it's a 3 hour trial, not 10 hours as I said before.

Anyone start playing Atomic Heart? So far it looks like a solid 7/10 meaning it's a perfect Game Pass game.
