I do not doubt that reviewing games on a deadline is hard work, but it was hard to hear Tamoor throw any type of blame at publishers when he admitted he was in charge of those review policies. If he’s the managing editor, maybe he should make more policies about not pooping your pants to play a game.
This is very ambitious for a remaster. I can't really think of another remaster that has attempted so much in one package. Pretty much every texture has been touched in some way and most of the character models have been touched up a little bit while maintaining the same art style as the original. The combat changes in the first game make it play like a somewhat competent shooter.
Anyone saying this looks the same probably hasn't seen the original Mass Effect in a while (yes, even the PC version).
I understand why some people lump RE 5 and 6 together (they're both action heavy games), but I don't think they understand how much worse 6 is on every level, including the basic shooting and movement.
It Takes Two has some of the most creative mechanics I've seen in a co-op game. Brad was right that the bosses aren't easy, but I found the checkpoints pretty forgiving and you can always respawn within seconds as long as your partner is alive.
Rebirth isn’t as scary as Dark Decent and the story isn’t as good as Soma, but it’s a good time.
The game tells you up front not to worry about winning, so I wouldn’t worry too much about your match situation. Like Dark Descent, most of the fear comes from tricks and isn’t actually hard at all.
Alex mistakenly wondering into an ending choice is really the only way to end this series. I was kind of okay with the weird original ending, but I have to admit it is probably better with the truckloads of context they added. Also, the brief fourth ending where you just get wiped out was pretty good and would be a good set up for a Mass Effect 4.
Activision is doing full remakes of their games for the same price. The fact that these ports aren’t even up to the standards of fan made emulators is truly fucking embarrassing. They lack control options that emulators have been doing for years. There are plainly visible debug elements in Sunshine that emulators fixed years ago.
I understand that COVID-19 has impacted game developers, but this shouldn’t have been released in a state like this.
$220 is too much for any type of storage, but transferring games off a cheaper external USB drive seems like a very reasonable option. It’s weird seeing people pretend like the expensive option is the only option.
