Why can't people like that just be happy in life?

How can you be at peace with the world if you can't even be at peace with yourself?

 

[RoadHazard]

I've gotta say that the not being able to save sounds really dumb. I mean saving and quitting like in Souls, so you can't abuse it. I can't think of any reason why that would detract from the experience.

 

[FunkMiller]

Wait. What?

I could care less if the character is attractive or not, but... what?

Some dudes can’t hack playing as a female character, unless they are a wank fantasy. I’m all for wank fantasy female characters, but also perfectly okay with ones that aren’t designed to make little boy pee pees get all excited.

Not gonna lie would love this on Xbox. Nice one sony. Will need to get the PS5 eventually as well.

Too bad its an exclusively woman protagonist. Would prefer a man instead.

Who cares? Renting games is where it's at now days. Of course you are forced to rent a bunch that you wouldn't play or care about but whatever!

I love Gamepass, it’s well worthy of all the praise, but Microsoft needs to deliver some games, it’s embarassing, and releasing a 7/10 game after all this time would make this a hilariously bad first year.

She should apologise to african americans

Auto updates closes the game.

Nice to know.

 

[CaptainConlock]

Aside from some weird takes from weird writers, the general consensus is that Returnal is a great action game that happens to have some roguelike elements in it. Sounds good to me. Very happy Housemarque got a dub. Also that Paste magazine writer privated her twitter lmao.

People that hate fun shouldn't be allowed to review things made to be fun.

"Game loads too fast, zero time to adjust to new levels. Way too many colors and I don't like how much fun I had." 5/10

 

[Fess]

The only negative I see in the game so far is the 1st person view while getting out of ship, the golden moment.

Lol I love this board

Lol, she is getting heat on tweeter. She first started blocking everyone Comments in the colin Moriary thread. Now her tweets are protected. Finally, she went on a rant. Wild.

They recommended using sleep so if you have auto update on during rest mode you lose progress

i mean get that, but why is such a big deal when the core of this games is losing progress

 

[engstra]

Agree to disagree. If you switch a game, you should expect a Rougelike or lite to reset. Most of them do, it's not new to this game. It's not a criticism, it's a preference. There's a major difference.

We'll just never agree on this subject I suppose, that's fine. People can have different preferences.

I'm very much looking forward to trying it out and see how it feels but from the outset it's just a weird omission. Especially when considering other roguelikes the reviewer mentions such as Hades etc have that feature. It bothers me when reviewers comment on losing progress due to bugs as those issues normally get ironed out. But in this case you can lose progress when not playing the game.

I'm not a fan of Colin Moriarty at all, but Holy shit this bitch went off the deep end lmao

 

[GymWolf]

Why is everyone bitching about Grubb this morning

He is know to be a M shill (i don't follow the guy, only telling you what gaf think of him) and his review is more negative than others but if you actually read it, it sound more like a 7,5 than a 6, he likes many things about the game.

He touch some aspects that many reviews don't touch but he still made some idiotic remark like the trigger thing (that you can disable).

destructoid touch similar arguments (kinda weak progression between runs) and they scored the game a 7,5 (and they are definitely not pro M)

Tomorrow i'm gonna see by myself if the flaws are real or not.

You guys put a lot of emphasis on a score given to a game by another person. It is after all, an opinion of the author who wrote the review. There are so many ways now, where you can see how a game is. We should stop putting so much weight on what score a game gets.

I don’t understand. Why are someone that on the edge emotionally?? I see people rant about all kinds of stuff these days. Covid/isolation related overreaction?

 

[NickFire]

I'm guessing that I am not the only confused person on this issue. I honestly cannot recall hearing / reading the phrase roguelike before today. Do you mean losing progress is part of the game's design, as in it gets incorporated into the overall story?

I had assumed losing progress was a difficulty setting (of a sort) and/or a throwback to old school gaming. Is it actually more than that?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Everyone's indigenous to somewhere.

Now the question is what gives birth to more critics?

Low review scores or high review scores? Which is the strongest fertiliser to use

 

[sainraja]

Why turning off auto updates??

If you put your system on rest mode and have auto updates on, I assume the game that is in rest mode won't continue after the system has auto-updated.

Someone genuinely fucking stupid enough to think that ‘Xeno’ only refers to xenophobic.

yeah so basically the game is hard. you will die. or because you are missing some items whatever the reason is the game is hard.. but everytime you die at least in returnal and some extend hades you keep some upgrades making the runs easier each time

 

[GymWolf]

So a xenomoron?!

 

[FrankWza]

i mean get that, but why is such a big deal when the core of this games is losing progress

Because there’s no save so people hope to use rest mode as a save feature. Other than that, I guess people just always find something to complain about and if there’s nothing there they make stuff up to complain about.

Who has a beef with a Greg Miller?

Threw a long time friend under the bus for the virtual cult of ideology, his crew basically told everyone who did not vote their way to fuck off and stop viewing their content, all while they acted like an arm of a political party around election time. He's the embodiment of unfunny cringy pasty male. Snake.

Just talk about vidya, you doofy bubble living clowns.

Can you unlock permanent unlocks in the middle of a run? If so, do those unlocks stay unlocked if your game happens to crash in that same run? That would be my biggest beef if you did. Otherwise it should be fine.

What a noble and honourable way to go out. You'd even provide nourishment for the tree.

Greta approves.

Looking forward to threads in the future from Dia Lacina fans, all about how Returnal needs an easy mode.

Greg Miller is a hack, and threw his best friend under the bus to bend the knee. He also is a sell out. He shills what ever publisher hires him to promote games during E3 venues. I saw him at pax shilling Fuse and it was hard to watch. SAME WITH him on EA'S stage during E3 2019.

He has no integrity.

Colin at leas is honest about where his opinions are and is not afraid to talk about what people are thinking. Greg surrounds himself with "Yes" Sire people, and young talent that really have no clue wtf they are talking about.
