Bramble: The Mountain King for $4.50 is a steal for an awesome game. And if you haven't played A Plague Tale: Requiem, Hogwarts Legacy, Bulletstorm, Dead Space, Hellblade 1 and 2, or the Outer Wilds, I recommend those.
@Brigurugi I don't know about successful, but I love it. Take it for what it is, which is a really fun hack and slash. If you are looking for a true rpg experience, find something else.
The thing is, eventually I will buy GTA 6, because I know that inevitably the price will go down, and I have patience. Nintendo games almost never go down in price. Aside from the standard Mario and Donkey Kong games, nothing stood out to me with the Switch 2, and certainly nothing worth the $80 price tag.
I guess I am the only one who can't justify $70 for a 6 hour campaign. This will certainly be fine for multiplayer gamers, but alas I am not one of those.
Hellblade 2 is unbelievably amazing....but you have to go into it understanding that is purely a cinematic storytelling game. It is game that I play like an hour a night because its just so much to take in. It certainly is not for everybody, but for an older gamer like me, it's perfect.
Hellblade 2- If you loved the first one, you will love the second one. It's not for everyone. I love story based games like A Plague Tale, Alan Wake, Bramble, Brothers, etc. and so Hellblade 2 is right up my alley. But love it or hate it, you absolutely cannot deny Hellblade 2 is one of the best looking games ever made.
I can't join the rage and drama bandwagon because I have a massive backlog of games to play on my Series X....When Xbox runs out of games for me to play, I'll just move on to another console.
@Dimey Starfield was and is a finished product. There is a beginning of the game, and end of game, plus a continual New Game+. Not only that, its a free game on Gamepass. The rest of the stuff they are doing is all freebies. Calm down
As others have said, if Im paying $70 for a game, you better have more than 15 hours of content, and lots of replayability. $30 is acceptable for a 15-20 hour game.
I played through A Plague Tale: Requiem at 30 FPS and it is one of my GOTY. I don't forsee 30FPS being an issue with HB2. I think the bottom line is that if you enjoyed the first Hellblade, then you are going to enjoy the second one. Cinematic experiences are not everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine, and I am greatly looking forward to it.
Ok, but I just hope that they have a bunch of games ready for launch, rather than make us wait 2-3 years into the console before we get some quality games.
I subscribe to Gamepass, and as a result I have purchased several physical copies of games that I would not have bought outright without getting to try it first. BG3 is the first game I bought without getting a chance to play it first. I was extremely hesitant as I hate turn based games, but thankfully it has blown my mind.
Personally I love Starfield for what it is, and always find myself wanting to go back to it and find something new. I love being a gamer, but I hate how painfully toxic the gaming community has become, and I think that Bethesda has every right to clap back at the basement dwelling dredge of gaming society that has nothing better to do than create a 2 hour or more video on youtube dissecting every tiny thing they hate about a game, instead of saying they just don't like it, and just move on to the vast library of games that they could be spending time playing.
