Mournblade Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Pillars of Eternity I give a C-. Lot of problems with this game: story was boring, the game was far too short, the level cap was at 10, and the graphics were kind of dated. I much, much prefered the original Baldurs gate and Baldurs Gate: Shadow of Alm. I'd pass on Pillars, there are much better fantasy games out there.

I finished the game around level 16. Did you do the White March content? I will agree that Divinity Original Sin was a better game. Haven't played 2 yet but have it and am sure it's great. I'd give Pillars a B to B+ personally but to each their own. So i pre ordered Monster Hunter after the beta. It's my first monster hunter and I have friends that will be playing it. Should be a good time. It's a 9pm EST GameStop release too so looking forward to Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 So, what is Monster Hunter World? Another survival game? Three games I want to see come out for the Switch, either a remastered version, original version or new version: 1. Turok Dinosaur Hunter 2. Diddy Kong Racing 3.

My understanding is that its a Min/Maxing, obsessive collecting, crazy complex, deep, endless loot acquisition action RPG about killing big ass monsters with big ass weapons. Basically its gonna scratch every itch my GF cant lol. But seriously it sound terrifying and enjoyable all at the same time. I am worried about the PS4 beta's performance issues.

It's adds in a bunch of awesome loot and really fits in doing during the campaign. It's actually in a games bundle on humble bundle right now for $6 with some other paradox games. Monster Hunter is a game where you battle bosses sort of like Dark Souls, then take the monster parts to craft better gear to fight stronger monsters. You have 50 minutes to hunt down your monster objective on the open map and kill it. It was a blast for me playing with some friends. I was mildly annoyed to get a choice to focus on resolution, frame rate or graphics with my PS Pro because you pretty much have to choose frame rate. But I guess it's cool you have a choice on which area isn't nerfed. Give me the master race release jeez. Too bad it releases in the fall instead of end of this week.

Mournblade Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Monster Hunter World. Sounds interesting, but its a Capcom game. I hate Capcom games, especially when they try to do fantasy. Dragon's Dogma, what a steaming pile that was. I'm going to hold out until Kingdom Come Deliverance, in a couple of weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 God of War got an official release date of April 20th which is sooner than I expected since Amazon and Gamestop had placeholder dates of June 30th. Is anyone else into VR at all? I was completely anti-VR and thought it was just a huge gimmick and lame but I tried it out randomly in the mall right before the holiday season at the MS store, and I was sold. The only problem is I don't have a gaming PC, but I do have a PS4 Pro. So I tried out PSVR and ended up getting the Skyrim bundle when it came out. I've bought more PS4 games in the past 2 months than I have bought PS4 + Xbox One games since they both came out. I'm really enjoying the experiences and never realized how much depth was in VR. I didn't "get" that it was even 3D like it is until I tried it. I picked up Doom VFR last week when it was $20 on Amazon and picked up the Farpoint/Aim bundle today on Amazon for $20. I still am playing through RE7 though. I think that Resident Evil 7 is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in like a decade. It's just incredible in VR and it's really scary/creepy and so immersive. It's kind of stressful to play and for me to get started because I know it's going to be uncomfortable playing it. But then I do and play it for a good session and enjoy every minute of it, usually playing with goosebumps for the majority of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 State of Decay 2 is unofficially supposed to be released on May 25th. When that game comes out, all activity in other games will cease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming it's like the rest of the Monster Hunter franchise, its an action/RPG based around hunting monsters and grinding for resources to build better equipment (you use monster parts to build weapons and armor, and it shows in the design) to hunt stronger monsters. Combat is pretty unforgiving; you've really gotta pay attention to the attack and movement patterns of your prey. 9 hours ago, Momma There Goes That Man said: Anyone play Nier Automata on PS4?

I have not, but Platinum Games is a top-notch development studio that deserves far greater sales numbers than they ever get. I trust Nier: Automata to be a great game.

Mournblade Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Interesting article on Gamespot: probable sequels that we should be seeing in the future: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/17-unconfirmed-sequels-that-should-totally-happen/2900-1770/ Horizon Zero Dawn 2? Diablo 4? Elder Scrolls 6? Just hook it to my veins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblade Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Red Dead Redemption 2 delayed until late October. I kind of like that. There are just certain I games I prefer playing in the winter (eg Skyrim), while others are better in the summer (eg. Grand Theft Auto V, Uncharted 4). Not sure why, just is. RDR2 I'd prefer to play during the fall/winter, for some reason. Also, Shadow of the Colossus getting great reviews everywhere. I'll bite. My forecast is that it will be a gorgeous but pretty shallow game, one that you will enjoy playing but should be done with in a weekend or two.

Mr. Sinister Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The last 2 RD's have been spring releases iirc, because I got them both on opening week. But I prefer people fix their **** before they release it and expect us to pay full price for it, which is the exact opposite of what happens these days. ..................... I finished the main story of Fallout 4 after I rebooted. Man, some of those missions reminded me of Mass Effect in terms of the gutwrenching choices you had to make. Had me feeling guilty af. I did it all for the Brotherhood Rock, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they're not that company. Never seen them put out a buggy mess. They've always done right by their customers on that front. Other companies though.... The don't even try to act like they give a ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'd rather wait and get quality then have something shoddy rushed to market. Reg. Elder Scrolls 6, won't happen anytime soon. They haven't even began preliminary development yet and have two other fresh new IPs they're releasing before the next ES game. My guess is 2020.

bearrock Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If anyone is interested, Monster Hunter World is very well done. I've logged 300+ hours on MH4U on 3DS and MHW has a lot of quality of life improvements without dumbing it down too much. I think they struck a pretty good balance of having the game be approachable without getting rid of all of the serie's unique features. RNG loot is annoying, but much less so than hardcore Japanese flavored MH series entries in the past. And no microtransaction, yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
