  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Metaphor: ReFantazio Is GameSpot's Game Of The Year 2024.

    I played the demo & I don't see what everyone is raving about. The writing is way too on-the-nose & nothing about the story setup really gripped me. The combat was OK, but I felt like they we...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review - Return To Form.

    Sounds like Bioware has really dropped the ball here. I guess that's what you get when the star players quit & leave it to the B team. Bioware is nothing but a name above the door now.This art st...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post EA Sports FC 25 Review - Lacking Title-Winning Pedigree.

    It sounds like people are enjoying the career mode this year, which is good. I mostly play Football Manager for my football fix now, so it's going to be difficult to match that level of detail, but at...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Dragon Age: The Veilguard Feels Like BioWare At Its Most Confident.

    DA: Origins was such a strong first entry in the series that subsequent games have always failed to live up to the expectations.This does look fun & while I would prefer some more tactical influe...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post NBA 2K25 Review - Luxury Taxed.

    Since EA lost the FIFA license, everyone's been hoping that 2K will enter the football space & bring some competition. While they might actually innovate & add some features, this is a sign t...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Star Wars Outlaws Review - Missing The Mark.

    @Vaildez: That's in a lot of stealth-lite games these days. I just finished playing AC: Mirage, which is a lot more stealth focused than other recent AC entries & that has a very forgiving whistle...

    @OrionMD: You should check out more Japanese games. Look at the quality of the food assets in Monster Hunter World or recent Yakuza games. Some people really dig looking at food being prepared & p...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Star Wars Outlaws Review - Missing The Mark.

    I decided to sub to Ubi+ for a month to play through AC: Mirage & give this a go.I've put in a few hours & so far, it's a fun stealth-lite action game. I'm not really a SW fan, so I don't car...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Dragon's Dogma 2 Feels Like A Gorgeous Makeover Of The Series' Core Values.

    Looks interesting, but I have some worries about the player not even finishing one quest in his 3 hours of play. Far Cry games had a great system where you would be walking by some lake & a croco...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Baldur's Gate 3 Is GameSpot's Game Of The Year 2023.

    @treechopper88: The gameplay is engaging, the story has all sorts of twists & turns, the battles are all hand-crafted & the characters are well-written. I don't know where you've been looking ...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Lies Of P Review - No Strings Attached.

    This game has a cool aesthetic but it's kind of a shame that they went with a standard Soulslike formula. It would have been interesting to see swords working well against fleshy enemies but maybe ha...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Starfield Review - To Infinity, But Not Beyond.

    @noodles227: Review scores are dumb. Look at the content of the review (from multiple reviewers) & figure out if it's the kind of game you will enjoy. Expecting a single number to determine how ev...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Final Fantasy 16 Review - On Its Own Terms.

    @boobytrap: Yeah, it's a real shame. I could tell the PS5 was underpowered when it launched & we're seeing its limitations now.I look forward to this being released on PC. Good games deserve to be...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post Final Fantasy 16 Review - On Its Own Terms.

    @olddadgamer: Wow, gamers are mean.Yeah, you can jump in at any one. The FF games are numbered, but they're not direct sequels to each other, except for a few like X & X-2. FF games have similar m...

    @mooglestar: I don't know if you ever game on PC, but Steam in home streaming has been around for a while & it's very responsive. Maybe not quick enough for Street Fighter, but those guys are play...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post PlayStation Showcase May 2023: The Biggest Games And Announcements.

    Your tweet calls that thing a cloud handheld gaming device, but in the video clip they say that it will stream games from your PS5 over WiFi. In-home streaming & cloud gaming are two very differe...

    Oh great! Tolkein's written some new stuff to be adapted to film. I think it's been a little while, but glad to hear he's publishing again. XD

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post HBO Cancels Westworld, Final Season Won't Happen.

    The first season was incredible.Then they got greedy & decided to stretch out the story & go for as many seasons as possible, rather than a tight narrative. Now we won't get to see the end to...

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post God Of War Ragnarok Review (PC Version Update) - Blood, Sweat, And Tyrs.

    Looks great, but the previous game running on the PS4 at 30ish fps really ruined combat for me. I'll be waiting for the PC version.

  • bbq_R0ADK1LL posted a message on the post FIFA 23 Review - Football Is Life.

    Even if you don't play the gambling mode, Career & Be a Pro modes are sure to be as lacklustre as always. I played FIFA 22 briefly & my Be a Pro career was ruined by an inept coach who kept p...
