I've been so close to picking up Crime Boss for like $12 in the last couple of sales. Glad I waited. I remember everyone (me included!) thinking it was going to be some GTA-like but it's more of a weird Pay Day kinda thing?

maybe I expected the wrong things from it but I really hated it. I got it from Gamefly and sent it back pretty fast. the gameplay loop didn't grab me at all

You're good, the US/EU release was October 21, 2014. Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

New AssCreed is actually looking promising.

Tldr:
You can play as either character and can hotswap between them outside combat/missions.

Game area is about the size of Origins

Less map icon spam.

Keiichi Okabe is basically making a living thanks to Yoko Taro. He has worked on his smaller card games as well.

Then there is Stellar Blade which the director basically said he can't say what Yoko Taro influenced because it would be too many things and Okabe's music studio got hired to do the music for that as well.

Okabe made a pretty decent living from Tekken and such too

Also his studio only did some of the SB music, the rest was Cosmograph and the rest of the Nikke sound team

The great thing about AssCreed is Ubisoft quickly sells it for cheap and eventually gives it to you for free.

I liked the Avatar game. It had a great, very vertical map that was fun to explore and not much busywork. Playing in exploration mode (turns off nonessential map icons and give environmental hints instead) made it fun to poke around. That was a completely different Ubi studio, but if it indicates the company's overall current approach to the open world formula, cool.

Whether I buy it on a sale or wait for a PS+ freebie depends a lot on the combat system though. I liked Odyssey a ton largely because the over-the-top combat with a bunch of interesting powers made even the fort clearing missions fun. I imagine a samurai/ninja inspired combat system will play much differently. Hopefully it doesn't resemble the dull Valhalla/Origins combat...

New AssCreed going back to the Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla style sucks because that format did nothing for me. Anyway.

Nioh, Nioh 2, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Rise of the Ronin, Ghost of Tsushima, Like A Dragon: Ishin!, Fate Samurai/Remenant, Trek to Yomi, just off the top of my head.

(I don't think the setting i played out but samurai games are not exactly uncommon, it just depends on how supernatural they are.)

People perceive it differently but I'd argue that barely 10 games over the last decade is far from "played out", and the setting only become more popular recently - most games in the list are 2017 and newer).

(Also Sekiro is not a samurai game :argh:)

they put out a survey recently

quote:


Sony Interactive Entertainment and Haven Studios seek to learn what kind of gameplay respondents enjoy, what platform they play on, how often they play, and whether they enjoy playing games involving heists, PvP, and PvE. It also asks respondents what they liked and disliked about the Fairgames trailer that was released last year.

Curious about this. What does this mean, PS2 games as direct digital purchases like some PS1 and PSP ones?

the way sony treats the first party ps1-3 library, is maybe the biggest tragedy of modern game preservation, and history. kids are literally going around thinking the n64 had, remotely, as good a library as ps1 because they do not let anyone know about it.

Okage has the same issue, weird texture crap all over the place. But you can technically still play it even if it looks like rear end so all you get is a pop up saying 'may experience issues when playing' and that's it.

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
It’s sad because PS3 era Sony wasn’t that bad about this. There were a lot of PS1 Classics on PSN, and they worked across the PSP, PS3, and Vita (which did have some titles blacklisted). Same with the PSP library on Vita.

And none of the games needed to be rebought. Tbf, iinm your old PSP purchases will get you the PS5 versions, for the few games they do offer.
