Man I really hope Nier is good. Honestly if it looks promising upon release and there's no issues with the port I will buy it full price on PC.

Thought about buying it for my PS4 which is just a Bloodborne machine so far but....

Buy Nioh

It's kind of annoying but not a huge deal IMO. The sprint button is B and the jump button is X, so if you want to do a running leap you kind of have to reach over with two fingers. I haven't run into a situation where sprint + jump is necessary over regular run speed + jump though.

You can also switch the jump button in the options

has anyone played both Horizon and Zelda? Honestly I want to play/try both but idk where the biggest differences are. I haven't played any open world adventures since Witcher 3 so I'm fresh for the experience. The only things I know probably differ in Zelda are climbing virtually anything, weapon durability, a parachute, more sparse story, 100 little temples to upgrade your poo poo.

I played Horizon for a few days before Zelda came out and now that I've played BOTW I probably won't touch Horizon until I'm done with Zelda.

Chrono trigger is pretty much the perfect Jrpg, so you should play that! It's kind of embarrassing how much better it is than the almost 30 years of Jrpgs that came after it.

The battle mechanics in Chrono trigger are really dull.

It's pretty good but like most jrpgs you could have cut like 10-20 hours away from it and it would've been better for it.

It's like all genres have good and bad games. That doesn't make it more or less anime.

Nier Automata is scoring about 20-ish points higher than the first game on metacritic. For comparison, Grand Theft Auto 2 to Grand Theft Auto 3 was a 27 point jump. Yoko Taro directed games usually score in the mid to low 60s.

If I reviewed botw I would give it 10/10 and I think there are some big flaws in the game. I haven't enjoyed exploring in a game this much ever.

This is the dumbest argument I've ever been involved with on the internet. :allears:
Technically true!



...Speaking of, I wish more games were set in space/were sci-fi, because it's just so much more interesting than "here's more forests and fields for you to tramp around in, complete with swords and sorcery" and I know fantasy can be well done, but it's just the most boring stock setting you can get these days.

I say, fully aware that sci-fi games usually consist of endless gray corridors. :sigh:

There are tons of interesting fantasy settings out there and you can do a lot with the genre but games generally go with the most boring stuff imaginable

I think what's so funny about this whole thing is that A) he said he LIKED IT and B) it literally says "good" next to his 7/10 score. It's not like he said it was bad! It just had a bunch of flaws so it wasn't 10/10. I think he puts numbers scores there just to make people upset that the metacritic score is now slightly lower than it was before.

Also his site got ddos'd earlier which is always funny because his site isn't supported by ads and he'll just put his reviews up on mirrors for people to read until the ddos is fixed, so it's the most pointless thing to do to him

This kind of poo poo is probably actively beneficial for him. Attention is what reviewers/youtubers/"content creators" want and need.

Unless he's literally never paid any attention to the internet at all there's no way this isn't exactly what he expected when he gave it that score.

I'm pretty sure he just expected people to yell at him on forums and youtube comments, not to hack his website/social media account.

idk why people give them attention. It's very easy to not have racist youtube celebrities be a part of your life

The thing with Jontron is that the (public) racism is a pretty new thing for him. For a long time he was just a guy who made videos people liked.

When someone you like turns out to be an insane racist it's pretty natural to talk about it.

Inquisition was perfectly okay, definitely not without its flaws, but an otherwise solid RPG in a weak year overall for RPGs. I think around this time many goons had already forsworn their holy crusade against Bioware and the evil EA empire so opinions around here tend to get a bit exaggerated.
