While the Mass Effect 3 controversy is finally starting to die down the effects of it will be long-lasting. Game narrative will be looked at and criticized even more closely in the future. Although no matter how much certain fans decree the ending to Bioware’s epic trilogy the ending was certainly far from the worse of all time. So what possibly can be worse? Oh plenty. EXTREME SPOILERS ARE TO FOLLOW.
PS Plus Extra and Premium subscription tiers are set to lose a majority of Square Enix's RPGs in September, 2024.
If you are playing on the harder difficulties then you could be looking at well over 100 hours of gameplay and I am not taking into account the "so called minigames". Of course the ultra hard dificulty will add many tens of hours to the gameplay since the enemy is toughter and can detect you easily especially if you are trying to strip parts from the robotic enemies which you really need to do if you want to upgrade your weapons and armour. Smoke bombs can help here.
IMO the game does have quite good replay value.
I still have to play Forbidden West and the dlc. I don’t have to worry about Premium since my digital code came with my console and then I bought the dlc when that released.
From what I can gather you need to finish Horizon Forbidden West before you can play "Burning Shores". Still you will need to put in well over 100 hours especially if you are playing on the harder difficulties.
As for the ultra hard difficulty I hope you are willing to die allot especially in the first 30+ hours of the game.
Oh I plan to tackle Forbidden West and Burning Shores during the winter months. The have a few games to tackle come this winter.
Back in the days I use to finish a game in three days, now in my older age I struggle to keep myself interested. So no ultra hard difficulty for me, I’ll stick with normal and hard (maybe) thank you very much.
Dying a lot, might as well be playing a From Software game.
Not sure what you were waiting for, but Forbidden West is a great game. Burning shores content should be played after you beat the main story. A quick tip I can give you is that don't be in any rush to kill any machines, instead scan and break off the parts because crafting is huge in this game. The consequence of this focus is that battles now last longer and you will be spending some time grinding machines for crafting materials. You also want to unlock perks that increase medicinal plant yield from early in the game so you will have a surplus by the time the difficulty increases later in the game.
Thanks for the tips.
“ You also want to unlock perks that increase medicinal plant yield from early in the game so you will have a surplus by the time the difficulty increases later in the game.”
Is it really that much of a significant spike in difficulty?
@Adnor_Mal
"Is it really that much of a significant spike in difficulty?"
Eventually you will be taking on bigger and more dangerous machines later in the game and the difficulty comes from trying to detach the crafting parts from the machine while avoiding the attacks. When you get to that point in the game where you are grinding for machine parts, you don't want to also have to grind for medicinal herbs so I recommend you get those perks early and loot every twig and herb plant as you move from point A to point B.
Why removing a game of their own studios HFW out of their own service, it doesn't make much sense...
Gary Green said: Tempting as it is to dedicate our first installment of PlayStation Icons to a franchise-leader like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, or even Sackboy, instead I’m choosing a character that I, like so many others, connected with on a personal level. He’s a moody, world-weary teen, a proud loner with no time for the drama of others, and yet he’s also a hero just waiting for the motivation to unleash his full potential. He’s a warrior. He’s a leader. He’s the king of internal monologues. It’s time to meet Squall Leonhart.
Fallout: Yesterday is the re-imagining of the cancelled Fallout 3 game, and it looks awesome.
If you remember in GOW3 the Gods were infected by what was in the box any way so whether Kratos had killed them or not they would have spread chaos across the world.Many people forget that part. Better to kill the Gods and leave hope for the people that remain rather then leave the people in the hands of the corrupted Gods which would have been worse.
Also Kessler did not go back to save Trish which would not have made much of a difference. He let her die so Cole could harden himself mentally and physically to fight the Beast. Also people also seem to forget that this was the version of Cole that was bitter, cruel and obsessed. He didn't care that past Trish had to die if it meant he would become the man that could destroy the Beast. Hell, he destroyed hundreds of people,ruined thousands more lives and tricked his own self into carrying the ray sphere.
If you want to argue Kessler's sanity fine but his purpose was never to save Trish, it was to mold Cole into a person strong enough to stop the Beast which he couldn't do.
The inFAMOUS Kessler plot twist is 1 of the greatest I've ever seen in gaming! Did you even pay attention to the game or are you just crying about it?! The game blatantly tells you what he's trying to do by the ending of it!
inFAMOUS, Star Ocean, and FFVIII were all fantastic plot twists. What are you on, eh?
Yeah, I agree with All these guys^^^
Not a very well thought out article:/
I blame the hatred for the RE5 reveal on people going out of their way to find out details before it's released. I didn't know it was her. That's why I watch as little trailers as possible and don't look for details on games I am set on buying anyway.
