Holy sh*t, what is this? Forged in God’s very flame… All the crap filled the gap while I waited to begin the adventure of my life in the land of Velennnnn.
Hell yes. Looks fantastic, exactly as expected. Here’s to waiting 5 more years, though 😂.
@CyrusDrake20: nice! I’m patiently waiting for the Tomba 2 re-release next year.
It will never be the same again. Trying to steal that demo disc out of the magazine at the store or convincing your parents to buy the magazine. I’ve actually been playing a lot of demos lately, now that they’re back to being a thing. Steam is always full of indie demos that I check out.
@s1taz4a3l: yeah. I’m on the fence with seasonal content. Some of it can be worthwhile and fun, but I rarely ever partake. I prefer expansion packs and permanent gameplay/feature additions.
@CyrusDrake20: absolutely! I spent so much time playing those demos. One of my demo discs had Tomba 2, Einhander, Blasto Man, Soul Reaver, Ridge Racer (forget which one), Syphon Filter, Gex 2, MediEval 2 and I think a couple more on it. Man, what a disc that was.
This is why I rarely ever buy day one, especially with aRPGs. They change tons of things, break other things, wipe characters, add and/or remove things, etc. By the time the game is actually ready to play, it will be a lot different and the gear you once had will be irrelevant. I’ll wait until then.
Solid review, scored as expected. I only ever played the demo on the PS1 demo disc that I had back in the early 2000s. I must have played the demo 100 times. Looking forward to experiencing the full games for the first time.
@Slannmage: Microsoft didn’t make anything. MachineGames made this and they’ve never made a bad game. Bethesda published it. Microsoft simply paid money to own these companies, but don’t have any hands in the actual development. As for the graphics, I suppose it’s a matter of opinion, but the game looks fantastic when you’re playing it, rather than seeing videos of images of it online.
