The ESBR rating for Resident Evil 4 remake has been posted, and it mentions "in-game purchases" will be part of the game.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Those that made it onto the Shortlist below are each special in their own way. Alan Wake 2, a long time in the making, dazzled players with its cutting-edge graphics and brilliant narrative. Baldur's Gate III wowed critics and consumers alike with an amazing cast of characters and dizzying gameplay freedom. Final Fantasy XVI impressed with its beautiful cut-scenes and fresh take on action combat. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a game under the shadow of impossibly high expectations, invigorated its audience with endless opportunities for experimentation. And Resident Evil 4 riffed on an 18-year-old formula, in some instances improving on one of the best games of all time."
Give me some exact reasons why it is overrated. I have some ideas, but I want to hear yours first.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "As the average game script balloons in dialogue there's greater demand for marquee acting talent. And as illustrated by both good & poor examples from 2023, sympathizing with a protagonist's struggle greatly relies on both the writing and delivery. This is emphasized in two unique ways by this year's shortlist: the addition of a voice fundamentally altering Dead Space remake's story beats & the dual protagonist structure in Alan Wake II. A fumble in either of those respects would've resulted in lesser works; fortunately, they're among some of the year's most celebrated titles."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "2023 was a notable year for VR hardware, with both Sony's PSVR2 and Meta's Meta Quest 3 arriving on the scene. Both of them have primarily earned a considerable amount of praise for their technological advancements, but that's not to say their software output was extinct. Granted, early adoption tends to favor older ports with improved visuals and new controller/headset gimmicks; it comes with the territory. But within that flow of ports and updates came an exclusive for each respective platform reaching our shortlist. It's too early to tell if that presages a bountiful surplus of future masterclass VR games, but it's a welcoming sign all the same."
“Horizon Call of the Mountain” had more bells and whistles and has some wow moments for VR newbies. But I had more fun playing “Synapse”.
What are you buyin'?
Such corporate scum. It should either be sperate dlc or nothing for a single player game.
Ok… it’s not like this is the first to ever happen. Devil May Cry 5 had “in-game purchases” and the game was still phenomenal. It’s 2022, a majority of games have some form of microtransactions or DLC. Don’t buy them if they piss you off and if the game does abuse them then don’t buy the game.
Capcom always been and still does the most shady shit but for god knows what reason they get a free pass , re-use assets and steals unity engine coding by naming it "RE Engine", always giving the middle finger to their fans and ignoring them and not taking criticism or demands whatsoever for their recent works or outside it, disrespecting their old voice actors and treating them like disposables, the lack of taste and fanservice and going full woke .. the gaming community are getting much dumber to realize that these days, it despicable how much a brand with no soul does to people minds
So maybe they're releasing mercenaries with it?
