Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Even if you exclude Origins-1-3 due to them all being related to the same story (though the connection of Origins (which is pretty decent, much better than the reputation it gets) is tenuous), Silent Hill 4 is completely standalone. And SH4 is probably a perfect remaster candidate, because it had a lot of good ideas, but clearly ran out of dev time and fumbled the execution.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
And now P5R is out in Steam, and of course it's region locked. *sigh*

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
I was seriously expecting better from Fatshark than having to pick out the elites by jamming on the Tag button while looking at a group of enemies and hoping someone gets highlighted. All of the enemies in Vermintide have glowing eyes, at least give us that much to work with here...

I had to look that up after seeing this comment, and found this.
I don't think I'm getting the game, not a survival horror guy, never got into Resident Evil, but I definitely liked that.Toph Pony avatar by Dirtytabs. Thanks!

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
I'd at least consider playing it. A few of the Resident Evil games are basically just action games/third person shooters where the only horror element is the fact that the monsters are gross and ugly. RE 4 was the first off these, with RE 8 being the only mainline game like this. Both are very good, and unlike 8 there's no particular plot you need to really know going into 4 save that Leon was one of the two protagonists of Resident Evil 2, he used to be a Raccoon City police officer, there was a zombie apocalypse localized to RC, and the city got nuked to contain it.
I actually think all of that is explained in a recap at the start of RE 4 lol, but I actually never got the chance to play it. I never got it when it was new and for some reason the Steam version doesn't run properly. It's the only mainline RE game I've never played any of (though TBF I bailed out of RE 6 very quickly too; what an awful game).

I'm keeping tabs on Street Fighter VI and Midnight Suns pretty much. I don't plan on getting new hardware anytime soon.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
You are correct: RE4 was the first game in the franchise to deviate from the fixed camera angles & tank controls from its predecessors. This was huge and would reshape future RE titles in years to come, for good or ill.
The game does an entire recap of RE 1 - 3 in the first minute, so you don’t have to play those (although the 2002 remake, along with the 2019 remake, are absolute gems). After that, it’s a one man army in some remote village in Spain. There is action, but tempered with truly horrific moments, reason why the game was so successful.
Later we get RE5 & RE6. A lot of fun if you like coop games and shooting monsters with a Michael Bay backdrop of over the top explosions. There is no horror there, just ugly monsters and lots of guns and QTE.
Then we return to form with RE7. Claustrophobic environments. First person view. Very little in the way of resources and a heavy emphasis on survival horror and body horror as well. This isn’t a guy punching boulders and round house kicking zombies: this is a guy with no hand who wants to escape a crazy family.
RE8 or Village gives us action again. We got guns- lots of guns. Lots of things to shoot at as well. But like in RE4, I believe they managed to find a balance between the gun toting action and genuine feelings of dread & isolation.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
I kinda mangled my sentence apparently. I'd meant to say 8 was the only other GOOD game pf that style, jot rhe only one. Though 5 is fun in its own way.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Third-person shooters aren't really my thing either, with the sole exception of Mass Effect. In which I the biotic/tech powers as extensively as possible over the shooting.
No, I know my own tastes, and Resident Evil isn't for me, I'm quite confident of that. It's just that anything that can evoke echoes of Metal Gear Rising will at least get a smile out of me.Toph Pony avatar by Dirtytabs. Thanks!

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
The Tactics Ogre remake, Darktide, Harvestella, Bayonetta 3, and Choo Choo Charles are all coming out within a month of each other. Too many games to look forward to, not enough wallet or time.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
I've put about 30 hours in so far. It's good but does have issues. It's easy to make mistakes early on without realising only to have them come back and bite you hard much later on. And it doesn't explain a lot of stuff.
Best bet it to go watch some videos of others playing first to actual know what to do.
I have been enjoying it though.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Specifically I would suggest watching Perun's videos (PerunGamingAU), as he's really good at explaining things and is one of the players who knows the underlying systems.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
I have no interest in modern games. Most of the video-games I play still are old, between 10-25 years ago. That list is also small.
The only modern game I bought and played was Elden Ring. That was a good decision. Everything else looks to be either uninteresting or clearly designed to nickle-and-dime me. There's not much else to say that wont just become a doomer tirade.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
And I've managed to buy Persoma 5 Royal/Strikers. With a huge mark-up, but still.
Next in line: Persona 3, Trails to Azure, Trails into Reverie, and I hope by that point Paradiso Guardians will be realeased too.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Looking forward to future updates for future chapters of Hiveswap and Deltarune next year.
Last two chapters/acts, a Hiveswap chapter comes out and then Deltarune comes out about a year or so later, though I doubt the pattern is going to continue for future chapters/acts, because I think they will have caught up to one another.
I just really like these games.Last edited by D&D_Fan; 2022-11-15 at 04:31 PM.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
A lot has changed
Spoiler: Overview
No more TP; skills like Meditate are now 'Auto' with a chance of triggering.
Some have expanded use- like nearly all the ranged users seem to have Engulf which was Wizard only in PSP.
Many old passives are now on gear- Daggers grant Parry etc.
Lobber is now a skill on a handful of classes.
Some new ones like Pincer Attack.
Units level on their own, classes have growths, that said there is a level cap and syncing in particular battles.

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Well, all of the news out of the Game Awards yesterday added a few to my list:
Hades 2 - Quite enjoyed the first one, definitely interested in a sequel, and I like what I see from the trailer already.
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon - I half figured something like this was in the works after playing that storybook bonus stage in Bayonetta 3, but I am stunned that it's coming so soon (mid-March). While it seems very different from the normal Bayonetta games, I'm more than willing to give it a shot.
Star Wars: Jedi Survivor - Technically I knew about this one, but it was easy to forget since so little was known about it besides that it was being made. Now that we got a good look at it and a release date, definitely on my to-buy list. Fallen Order was surprisingly good, so I'll take more of that, sure.Toph Pony avatar by Dirtytabs. Thanks!

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Definitely will have to be Armored Core 6 for me.
I’ve played every installment, they started at PS2. The most recent one was 9 years ago and it… fell through. But the one before that (a most others) was fantastic.
Also discovered Sky and I like everything Thatgamecompany has done thus far.Something Borrowed - Submission Thread (5e subclass contest)

Re: Upcoming games you’re excited for?
Not officially announced, only rumors, but I am looking forward to Resident Evil 9. I don't know what it would be about, but I think the recent RE games have been pretty solid. I wonder what direction they would go in. The last two went in their own direction, but seeing a game that goes back to the main sort of storyline would make sense I think.
