Thanks for reading! I'm glad you had a good time with it. I enjoyed some of the side quests and really liked some of the unique ideas in the main story, but there were quite a few gameplay mechanics and missing features that I found disappointing. Hopefully CDPR can clean it up and improve on it with the upcoming DLCs and patches.
You played Cyberpunk 2077 and weren't let down, not in the slightest? If that game lived up to every single expectation you had, then I'm really glad you're having a good time. Either way, I'm not surprised if other folks have cited it as a disappointing game from last year.
One of the most powerful character arcs in any game this year.
Another series I've really wanted to play but never had the time. Played the first few levels of the original at a buddy's house and had a good time though. Thanks for the recommendation!
Definitely could've used some from Demon's Souls, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to play the PlayStation 5 remake. The pure spectacle of some of those bosses is fantastic. What do you think is the hardest boss from that game?
Thanks for reading! Perhaps 2021 will have some more memorable bosses for you. What were some of your favorite games from the year?
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check it out soon.
I didn't expect to laugh so hard at a Battletoads game. Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for reading!
I was surprised that they stuck with the non-beat 'em up stuff as long as they did. Variety is the spice of life, but maybe not this much.
I can respect the idea that "checklist open-world games" are getting stale, but AC: Odyssey, Watch Dogs II, and even non-Ubisoft games like Ghost of Tsushima have arguably hit their stride when they use that formula to its full potential. Far Cry 5 was honestly one of the best in the series, for similar reasons. Strong disagree, but respect the opinion.
If you can find a PlayStation VR for a decent price, I completely recommend it at this point. I've been on and off about VR for a while now, but the library of games and frequency of sales now justifies the buy-in for me.
Thanks for reading!
Please no more delaysss!
I'm really hoping Streets of Rage 4 is the sequel we all deserve
I'm amped as hell for TLOU2.
I really hope Dying Light 2 comes out this year. I've been low-key excited for that one since I saw the announcement trailer. Just trying not to get too hyped up. This is a great list, by the way!
It took a bit of finesse to shove the camera between a wall and the character model, but you best believe I got the optimal screenshot for maximum sniffage.
Thanks for reading. I feel like my Redbox rental is now justified.
I really enjoyed that mission, but it did feel like they spent a lot more time on her companion mission over other folks. Would've been cool to have a silly cleaning mission with SAM, for instance.
Thanks for reading! I can understand why Blair Witch isn't for everyone. Did you think it was boring? Not scary enough?
There was supposed to be a faction-based reputation system that aligned with side-gig completion, splitting your trust between various fixers and the NCPD. The authority system is also hobbled, as the lack of sufficient driving AI impacts the ability for police to actively chase you after committing a crime. Nothing that overtly "ruins" the game, but just made it less immersive. Perhaps "removed" was also the wrong word to use here. More a case of features and concepts tha...
