IGN "At long last, the PS4 has arrived. I've spent the last 36 hours or so with the retail console and the 1.50 firmware and while a comprehensive review is on the way, I wanted to provide some initial thoughts. Here's a quick rundown of my impressions thus far, and some things to look out for."
As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.
Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.
And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.
I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.
Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.
Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.
You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.
VR flight simulators offer some of the best, most immersive experiences around. Here are seven that you shouldn't miss out on.
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution launches summer 2025 on modern platforms—20 years after its original development was shelved.
Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.
Um... Greatness Awaits...
Am I doing it right?
I thought Colin Moriarty would be doing this...not Scott
Nice it is all sounding good, broken console rumors that turned out to be user error mostly and a couple bad game reviews from MScentric sites, the PS4 is looking to be everything we all imagined it would be, domination awaits.
I like how it takes like less then 1 second from exiting a game to get back to the ps4 menu screen !
i dont remember reading console reviews last gen, or really caring. PS4 is a freight train 10/10 because Sony is in full force with the most powerful console to date and will be pumping out quality exclusives. even PC games want in, indies want in, gamers want in, third partys know they will get the most out their games. Sony dropped a bomb and Greatness Awaits.
