Yeah he did. That engine was also used in the first wolfenstein game as well dishonored 2 and both evil within games, and it's been used to better effect since I think. It's still pretty impressive for a 2011 title though.

Cormack also had a fair bit of control in the making of the game, and I'm pretty sure it was his last big release. I don't think he had a huge amount of involvement in the new doom as he'd moved on to Vr and other software improvements, so it's interesting for that reason too.

Um... both. Sort of like Dragons Dogma I guess. I don't think you could do the entire game like with your fists ala dark souls, but it still takes a lot of skill to master and there's a lot of depth outside of loot.

im the same, and this is why I gave up on nioh. The first few areas were great, but then it started getting really repetitive, and it does lack that atmosphere Souls games excel in. If you can get it cheap it's worth a shot. It's not even necessarily harder than a Souls game, it's just more tedious, and there are fewer ways to dampen the tedium.

Nah I'm fine when we pay more due to the conversion rate, as that's fair. its just when there's extra charged on top of it that I get annoyed. I hear Canadians have to put up with some bs related to gaming as well though.

Something they could definitely learn from Breath of The Wild: More ways to traverse vertically. I can't tell you how many tims I couldn't see where the designated climbing spots were, and there are fare to rappel spots. Alloy should totally have been able to make a glider from a glinthawk or stormbird. Im not saying they should go all out with being able to climb everything, because some of those platfroming challenges like getting the Banuk figures were quite fun to work out.

 Idk, Horizon kind of reminds me of Darksiders a bit, in that they took pretty much all the things that were popular when they started making the game and used it to craft their game. 

 Yeah, the ending did accomplished that rare feat of answering pretty much every question you had yet still setting up for a sequel. I think Sylens could be a pretty great villain, as Lance Reddick (I still want to call him Cedrick Daniels) absolutely nails a cold blooded sociopath with on singular goal.

It is possible that Faro just didn't want them to repeat humanities mistake. Well, his mistake. He wanted to give them a clean slate and not be burdened by how much we did to fuck things up. I think he just went insane with guilt mostly. I mean, he did quite literally wipe out the humanrace.

 The glitch is interesting, it could be that the odyssey mission succeeded and actual humans want to retake earth.

I'll be interested to hear what you thinK of Rage. I wasnt a huge fan, but it definitely has its merits.

Space Batman is best batman.

I guess I felt differently, because this game is my first ever platinum. I usually give zero fucks about achievements, but after finishing the game I had 3 trophies left and thought "why the hell not?"

i also got super into the Lore. I do wish there was more to side the gameplay up after the halfway point as you said, but by that point I was so into the lore and characters I had to keep going. Definitely looking forward to a sequel. I think it's amazing that both Horizon and breath of the wild came out so close together, were both the first attempts at an open world game by their devs, and both found ways to do interesting things with it.  BoTW certainly more so, but it shows what happens when a team can get creative with the formula.

i haven't actually heard much about control... fuck, I need to look at stuff now if it's a metroidvania!

I weirdly doubt they won't put qtes In the game. The resi team can't seem to help themselves even in 7 (although that game used them sparingly and to surprisingly decent effect.) if they do use them, I hope they're Few and far between.

I just ranted a whole heap about what I disliked about this game, but at the end of the day I still loved it would seriously love that edition on switch!

 On a side note though... our dollar is only 2 cents to the dollar weaker than cdn, yet for me that edition is still $119. I feel like I'm going to need to just stop eating to play video games soon.

Man, I love character creation! The ease of entry is why I like mortal kombat and Injustice, though I'm a little over the gore in mK. It has gotten a touch on the nasty side as of late. SC might just scratch that itch.

If the dialogue seems stilted now, you should have seen it before! They've patched it to fix a lot of the localisation problems.

I found this game to be too fuckin long. The true ending is kind of dumb, and Danas part only really get interesting towards the end.

i still liked it, but i like my Ys to be a bit more focused. They have almost the same exact same items you find in every other ys, except they're spread over 50ish hours rather than 8-12 so progression seems scarce. The exploration was great, but I wish there were more items, more metroidvania progression, or less runtime.

Combat also could have been a touch faster and a Bit more difficult. I played on hard and died only twice - and neither was to a boss. Ys games in the past have kicked my ass on normal difficulty, so to get so little challenge out of the bosses in this game was mildly annoying.

 That Said, at the end of the day, I did enjoy it, I just have a lot of problems with it.
