It's a MS exclusive though not sure if that's being counted since i think it's also releasing on the One On 6/2/2020 at 9:35 AM, Mr. Sinister said: Vampyr , a plague/vampirism narrative based during the Spanish Flu epidemic, is either the best game, or the worst game to play right now on Earth. Soooo many jarring parallels For real though do you like this game? i've heard mixed reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just gonna say it couldve been a lot better (possibly a game talked about for years) if it was sort of like Quantic Dream heavy narrative. Story is great. The combat system might be PS2 level bad, and it drags the game down. The games atmosphere should be better than it is, too. Not much detail for WWI/Spanish Flu era London, either. I mean it's decent to solid. I can see what they were trying to do, but they missed the mark just a bit. Getting your items taken from you when you lose a grueling Chapter Boss battle upon repeat, is also not very endearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm being courted by a secret vampiric society pulling the strings in London. Nice and gothicly aesthetic, creepy butler at the door, goblets of blood, signing in blood, all that good stuff. But you are a battlefield medic and world renowned hematologist/surgeon. Part of the game revolves around you finding and analyzing various blood samples, and finding treatments and an eventual cure for the "Plague" and various other ailments that affects citizens. That's really the best part, it's like various sections of London divided into quarantine zones, and you can interact with dozens upon dozens of people, all with different backgrounds and motives, each serving a purpose in the games narrative. They'll give you quests, and you can spy on them, pit them against other citizens, make night calls and bite them (if your "Mesmerize " skill is high enough) or even turn them into vampires, growing your powers. It'll also transform you. Right now, my guys getting these nasty veins around his face and his eyes now glow red. Combat sucks, but it can also be weapon dependent. I use a heavy bludgeon to stun and drain enemies during combat so it's boring and methodical, but there are swords, stakes and firearms. I dont really use them. Drained citizens also drop special weapons. You start out at a slum street hospital in the east end of London tho. So not too fancy right away. The environment is sorta similar to those old Silent Hill games, if you ever played those. Seems like there are several endings. Narrative is very open ended. If you want to be evil, you can slaughter a whole zone and plunge them into chaos. You can also be Mother Teresa, or somewhere in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition came out last week. If you own a Switch and like RPGs at all, get it. Remaster of one of my favorite games of all time. Wonderful environments, great cast of characters with really good chemistry, one of the most interesting stories I've seen in a game with many twists along the way. Also comes with a new epilogue for anyone who has already played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of a space frontier rpg (I have it on PS4), built on expansion into the stars but in a dystopian society run off of corporate influence/greed. If you played any of the Fallout games, it kinda plays similarly to those (made by Obsidian, who made New Vegas). Pretty short tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at it at some point. Got a back log I'm working through, though. Been playing XCOM 2 War Of The Chosen. Simlutaneously starting to go through Xenoblade: DE. Just got the Bioshock collection, so I'll probably have to work my way through those. Also still gotta play Witcher 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft flat out said they won't have any exclusives on the new Xbox console for "at least 12 months". So yes, Halo Infinite is going to be an X1X/PC game ported to the new console. As will every game the first year and then some probably. But hey, they will have THOUSANDS of games at launch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
