Ok, after watching the disability review, it's a big NO for me.
Sony decided to say a warm FUCK YOU to disabled gamers by making the game unplayable with just the Playstation Acess Controllers since TouchPad motions are mandatory for writing names and playing music mini game.
Also using L3/R3 for the bamboo cutting (and other things) and L3+R3 for a skill it's just stupid.

Unless future patches fix this, it's unplayable for me (I'll only buy it in 6 months - 1 year).
Ha. Surprised they dropped the ball on that….
 
Having a variety of gameplay options in various games is good. Agree that the KCD guys accomplished what they want and that style of gameplay has its fans so that's works out. I enjoyed GOT with the different stances. Sometimes just having some shallow fun in games. GoT and AC, in general, do that pretty well especially when playing primarily stealth which is what I prefer.
Yeah, i love AC games as well and i do hate the stealth part in both games ahahah. I do love stealth like in Splinter Cell (it might have to do with all the gadgets and shit) but in games like AC and GOT i always struggle.There was a mission in AC:Unity, where you have to follow one guy where almost had a meltdown, was always failing. I do love AC:Unity, best AC for me besides AC2.
 
Won't even make the nomination this year based on review scores.

Donkey Kong Bananza
Death Stranding 2
Hades 2
Hollow Knight Silksong
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (or Trails in the Sky, it reviewed higher)

It looks solid? On the one hand, I have a feeling it will play and run well and be polished. But also, it seems like a re-skin of the original. I'm not seeing that the graphics are really that much of an upgrade, and I am seeing tons of reused animations from the OG. It looks like an 8/10: a good game that breaks no boundaries or elevates in any way. I enjoyed the OG, so I've pre-ordered this.

Such a shame after Sony has been doing pretty good on that front from my limited understanding. Hopefully it gets patched soon
 
I dropped the first one after 5-6 hours, looked pretty but the gameplay and exploration were shallow as fuck, and it got all the attention and high scores.

I'll wait to check out a stream and then buy if they fixed the issues.
 
I didn't care for the combat either. If it is supposed to be a sword combat sim then that's fine, but I just didn't think it was very fun to play.

That's fair but far from a broken mess going for a slower more immersive combat system.

I also wasn't the biggest fan of the first game but the second game was one of the best sequels of all time.

True. "Broken mess" isn't the right way to put it. The game has a ton of fans so that is saying something.
 
I've always been curious why videogame reviewer is such a left wing woke bedwetter dominated industry, you'd think it would be the exact opposite.

Weird take when you consider left wing woke bedwetters would have had a field day with a bunch of games that came out in recent history.

Maybe its the other side who assume every "woke" game that reviews well must have scored agenda points.

Maybe the people reviewing the games just enjoyed those games, the same way the people who review Fifa every year like Fifa......in my opinion Fifa is like a 3 outta 10 game and each iteration that follows and doesnt change much should lose 1 point just for that......so by now they would 0 outta 10 games if I was reviewing them but i dont cuz as you can tell im not a Fifa fan.

If a certain type of game isnt for you, thats fine, if someone else likes it, that doesnt mean they are left wing woke bedwetters or whatever......they just have a different opinion to you.
 
The combat in Kdc and especially kdc 2 is a mess?

Its like saying the handling in a sim racer is a clunky mess compared to an arcade racer.
being fancy and calling it a simulation does NOT automatically make dumpster fire tier combat any more acceptable than it is in ANY other game.
 
Did the reviews said if you still chase foxes and yellow birds all the time for cosmetics or if they made something more organic for exploration?

I think there's a bit of everything. I did see some footage where she was following a yellow bird to an upgrade spot. BUT they seem to have focused on variations now for all side objectives so it doesn't get dull and repetitious. One example a reviewer mentioned was when you get to one of the hot springs, you find a bunch of naked men in the pool and when they recognize you, they freak the fuck out and run away. Little things like that throughout that make them worth finding, aside from the gameplay perks.
