Hmm… newest game in my library is Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes from last year, which is a re-release anyway.
I bought 13 old-ish (pre-2022) games this year for less than $100. I have no reason to spend %60-80 of that on 1 game I probably won’t even like, and that’s if it clears the seemingly impossible “playable” hurdle.
Let me count upcoming games I look forward to playing/am curious about:
Ninja Gaiden 4 (Happy to wait for a deep sale)
Onimusha (Happy to wait for a deep sale and may even refund if I don’t enjoy it)
Okami 2 (Happy to wait for a deep sale)
Marvel: Tokon (Will definitely wait for a deep sale—$10 base game)
That’s it.
I definitely went to see more new movies at the cinema this year than I played new games. IDK where the industry is headed and I feel for all the underpaid, overworked developers at risk, but there isn’t much I can do if publishers collectively decided to abandon my favorite genres.
Hey, if you’re OK buying a game that looks worse than the original for QOL improvements that could, and should, be patches, you go ahead and support exploitative business practices.
And don’t forget to continue to freak out at online strangers for not joining you on your bootlicking adventures. That’ll make your life better, I’m sure.
Yeah, I’m gonna guess some kind of dismember system that fills up a meter and let’s you perform takedowns, which, in theory, wouldn’t be so bad—Ninja Gaiden had it, minus the meter.
Question is: are we going to get a proper combo system around it with proper risk/reward and freedom of expression, or are they gonna baby proof it? Combat looks grounded, so I’m guessing the latter.
I don’t see Wolverine launching enemies in the air and doing air juggles in a cowboy hat and jeans 😅
So you’re saying they’re trying to cash in on the game’s popularity with a crappy remaster? You’re either a troll or you need to work on your logical deduction skills if you can’t figure out why people are complaining.
They can use Gaming Copilot’s Voice Mode to get assistance with in-game tasks, ask it to recommend new games to play, check their achievements or their play history, and more.
“A major step in Xbox’s journey to bring these AI-powered experiences to players is rolling out: Gaming Copilot – which provides recommendations, help, insights and more – is officially coming to Windows PC and Xbox on mobile,” Microsoft said.
OK, so like what? “Jarvis, what’s the solution to this puzzle?” or “Jarvis, how do I complete this quest?”
Like, is it gonna replace looking up guides?
I can see this being useful to achievement hunters instead of having to repeatedly alt-tab to see what’s left, but how often does the typical player look up guides?
And what is the end goal? Essentially turning it into a cheat engine that plays the game for you?
Damn, that’s unfortunate. I’m glad Steam is cooperating though—a lot of platforms would try and bury this.
I hope this ends up being a blessing in disguise for them. Heart-wrenching to lose 10 years to a project and see little return because of a bug you’re not even responsible for.
