I haven't heard much about this. Looks like a brawler. Most of what I heard is that the woman main character is pretty and that's a bad thing says Twitter. I may have to buy it for that alone.

I went ahead and preordered it. Thanks to some points I had saved up with PlayStation Stars, I was able to get $30 off. I'll be sure to let ya'll know what I think.

I just played the demo. Long story short, I'm keeping my preorder.

Under all the skimpy outfits and stunning hot woman main character, there's actual good gameplay. It's a "square=fast attack" "triangle=strong attack" type fighter. But is really good. The action is smooth. The sound hits hard. The graphics are pretty (and not just the main character." It actually looks like it's shaping up to be a good game.

I mean, guys were complaining about Aloy not being pretty enough in Horizon Forbidden West, or Tifa's boobs not being big enough in FF7 Remake.

I tend to eyeroll my eyes at fanservicey girls, but I enjoyed Bayonetta immensely. The sexuality was so overt it became hilarious/parody. Still have to finish 3, though.

I really don't care if the main character is the wet dream of teenagers everywhere or if they're the everyday person from next door. I just care about good gameplay and good story. The fact that it made the crazy activists scream foul is just the icing on the cake.

And to think, I probably never would have ever heard of this game if not for their whining.

Played the demo. Eve's face is giving me some real uncanny valley vibes. The other human characters too, but her more, probably because she's the MC and gets the most screen time.

Otherwise it looks like a decent action game. Not sure if I'll preorder, but I'll probably pick it up at some point, unless reviews are absolutely terrible.

So, ever have a demo that's basically the tutorial level, and the demo gives you the option to skip past the part already played when you get the full game, and you get the full game but it's been a while since you've played the demo and now you've forgotten the controls?

Good thing is it didn't take long to get into the swing of things. I think I'm going to like this game.

Well, I'm sure you can find a PS5 now. It's a lot easier than it used to be. And it's a lot better than having one of those *shudder* X-Boxes.

I went past the point of no return last night. I Googled to see if you can go back and finish sidequests after finishing the game and it turns out you can't without starting a new game or new game plus. I also found out there are 3 endings and I'm on track for the secret ending.

I have no idea how long the game lasts after the point of no return, but hopefully I should be done tonight. Not sure if I'll do new game plus or not.

Finished it. I got the secret (true) ending. There's three endings in all and to get them you'll have to do new game/new game + for each ending.

I have a few games on the burner, so I may have to call this one done, at least for now. But I must say, I do like this game. The controls are tight. The graphics are beautiful. The main character is both tight and beautiful. I definitely think it's worth the buy.

Just finished New Game +. I really just wanted to collect the cans so I could unlock another suit. But in order to do that I needed to go past the point of no return. While I was at it, I figured it would be a good time to try out one of the other endings. So that's two out three down.

And that's the third ending done. Wow! New Game + to curb stomp the bosses and skipping all the sidequests really makes it a short game. But now I've tru done everything that requires visiting the area beyond the point of no return. So next new game + I should be able to completely sink into sidequests.

Don't you hate it when every trophy is skill or completion based except for the very last one that left you at the cruel whims of RNG?

Thought I'd give this thread a bump and what better way to do that than to show off the new Nier DLC?

once I have money coming in again, this game is on my list of pick ups... the demo sold me... and I've got a hole in my game shelf I had left open for Dragon age Dreadwolf... too bad that game didn't happen
