Mod edit: OP thought they would try and sneak a stupid console war option into the poll, so it was removed.

So interested to get opinions on Returnal after seeing the 45 mins gameplay footage.


I'm in day 1. Love the atmosphere and arcade style responsive gameplay. How about you guys/girls/others?

 

[Zeroing]

50% still waiting for a PS5... me included

[James Sawyer Ford]

Day 1 Pre-Ordered digitally @100 dollars or whatever for the stupid edition because FUCK THE HATERS

 

[Chiggs]

Not interested because it looks boring.

 

[Fess]

Most interesting PS5 game right now. Not a fan of the perspective but I still want it. But I don't have a PS5, so

 

[Dusktildawn48]

What a stupid thread and poll, everything has to be a console war with you people.

 

[Spukc]

I like polls

 

[Mister Wolf]

Waiting. One game isn't enough for me to buy a PS5.

 

[NikuNashi]

What a stupid thread and poll, everything has to be a console war with you people.

It's lighthearted fun!.

relax man.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm not getting it since I will be too busy playing Nier Replicant ver 1.22 and Monster Hunter Rise DLC thats coming end of this month.

 

[eyesabitdull]

*Looks at my PS5-less TV shelf*

Yeah, no, I don't think I'll be able to anytime soon.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

I wasn't interested in this game at all until today, but all the gameplay footage has me reconsidering. We'll see. I'll wait for reviews and probably until the inevitable balance patch that adds a quality of life features like being able to save your game.

 

[ReBurn]

I'm gonna buy two copies because I think games should be more expensive.

 

[[Sigma]]

If by some miracle I can get a PS5 then yeah.

 

[Endless Fluff]

Am really glad that we finally get to see gameplay. I'm still waiting for endgame impressions, though.

I tend to play rogue likes for hundreds of hours and if Returnal is only good for 20 hours then I'ma wait for 50% off.

 

[Craig of War]

Wait 70 is just too much it remind me of a next gen Recore lol

 

[Pejo]

It looks ok, but not 70 dollars ok. Will buy in a year for 20.

 

[Arkam]

After watching the previews today....

 

[kingwingin]

I'm way too broke to drop 100 cdn on this at launch. Will pick it up on sale eventually

 

[iorek21]

The previews got me intrigued, I'm partially in. Will wait for the reviews to seal the deal.

Don't complain if this game doesn't get a sequel.

 

[Danjin44]

Don't complain if this game doesn't get a sequel.

Even it does sell well it doesn't necessary mean it will get sequel, just look at Bloodborne.

 

[Entroyp]

Double dipping. I pre-ordered the DD edition on PSN and bought a physical copy (for collection purposes) on Best Buy.

All people crying about the $70 price tag can kiss my arse. You're a cancer to videogames.

 

[I'm nobody]

Game is much better than thought
And worth its money it's very addictive
And music is amazing, while all running on ps5

Unexpectedly amazing

 

[TexMex]

put your hand up on my hip

 

[bender]

Not interested. I bought four copies of Balan Wonderworld instead.

 

[TransTrender]

Don't care

 

[itsjustJEFF]

I'm DAY ONE. SkillUps Preview was great. A lot of the previews were really positive and optimistic.

I hope it gets great reviews, cause I like video games. I still enjoy video games. I always hope games are good. I like to see developers rewarded for their hard work. I have never once hoped a game sucked, I'm not sure what kind of shitty personality trait that is.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Even it does sell well it doesn't necessary mean it will get sequel, just look at Bloodborne.

Bloodborne is a Japan studio game. They never had a chance.

 

[Danjin44]

Bloodborne is a Japan studio game. They never had a chance.

It could be but they are just some developers who are less interested making sequels like Vanillaware.

 

[Max_Po]

Not interested. I bought four copies of Balan Wonderworld instead.

You are an idiot if you paid more than 25 cents for each.

That's my max when I want a mint new case for games.

 

[2AdEPT]

Looks good, itchng for something new on PS5 so might do it...has it been announced if/when reviews will be allowed prior to release?

Bloodborne getting a sequel comes down to From Software wanting to do a sequel.

 

[AutumnLeaves]

I would freaking buy it day 1 if only I could get hold of a ps5.

 

[Phase]

I dislike roguelikes. That about sums it up.

 

[Danjin44]

Bloodborne getting a sequel comes down to From Software wanting to do a sequel.

exactly my point, if the devs not interested making the sequel then no amount of sells going to change that.

 

[bbeach123]

The price is so mental actually , for a roguelike .

 

[Hinedorf]

Broke boi choice lol - speaking of gamepass I'm having a great time w/Desperados 3. I'm sure I'll enjoy watching videos of Returnal it looks visually stunning but I suck at 2d roguelikes enough to know it's not really a genre I love to play

 

[dhi]

Before the latest Impressions: yeahhhh... dunno... price etc.
After I saw the previews today: day 1 baby

 

[captainraincoat]

i think most people will buy as the ps5 doesn't really have any actual next gen games yet outside of darksouls (which is technically a remake)

Gotta dust it off now

Take care of your belongings man.

 

[Dr Bass]

Had no interest in this. But after seeing the previews from today pretty sure I'm in on day 1. Digital of course.

This is what I still love about gaming after a few decades of playing games. New ideas. I still love new installments of the classics but I highly prefer these fresh experiences. Sony is already massively delivering for me with the PS5 and this is just adding to the pile after only a few months.

Very happy.

 

[bender]

I dislike roguelikes. That about sums it up.

I'm not sure which Roguelite introduced it, so I'll use Rogue Legacy as the example, but I really hate the persistence elements that other developers borrowed for their own titles. It really feels like the ultimate form of padding and takes a game that should take a few hours to beat and turns them into a 30+ hour experience. Yes I realize that skilled players can beat a lot of this games with little to no upgrades but that isn't the experience for your average Joe. It just feels like it saps the luck aspect from what makes Rogue games interesting. You should be able to get lucky and beat any Rogue on your first attempt or unlucky and it could take you dozens. The randomization of levels, items, enemy encounters and secrets is what should be the draw of these types of games, not a currency you dump into persistent skill trees. Spelunky is the perfect example of this. I've dumped hundreds of hours into it. With Hades, I was bored in less than 10, it just felt like a grind, a slog.

I'm really curious about Returnal. Nex Machina is a wonderful, wonderful game. I really want to see what Housemarque can do in a 3D perspective game. What's holding me back is how well they implement the Rogue structure of the game. The Hades comparisons are setting off alarm bells for me.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I literally dont see anything special about this game...graphics, gameplay, enemy design...looks so generic. Not sure bout story.

 

[dyergram]

I have $40 on my us psn account anyway so defo day 1.

 

[Barakov]

I'm kinda interested in it but I don't have a PS5. I'll give it a look when I'm able to buy one.

 

[Hitchyhero]

If I had a PS5 I'd wait till it was cheaper.

For the time being ill stick to the NEW games that are on gamepass.

 

[Larlight]

Partly waiting for reviews but partly still going to end up getting it anyways because it's probably going to be the first proper next gen PS5 game I get to play that isn't a remake.
