So they aren't underrated. Just low replayability value.

And if Avowed is part of the series, I'd say the IP's doing fine. Three installments is pretty good.

Pillars of Eternity? Are they considered underrated?

The first one did pretty well as far as I remember.

My only personal complaint was that the game was too lineary.

Pcgamer sure is putting a lot of words and intentions onto people.

Edit: I have now read Firewalks wiki and I'm starting to see a picture. Just seeing the words "Sony", "Bungie" and "Activision" repeated everywhere does kinda give an impression of what the hopes for the game were.

That's not old Blizzard, but new Blizzard.

Old Blizzard is everything before WoW.

Starts making sense why Ukraine is faring better in the war than Russia if Russia is spending time and ressources being Dicks to civilians.

Gearing up for a swing at The Sinking City.

More than likely. And a Skyrim horse at that.

That's a good take.

I never played it myself. Just watched some Letsplays and heard some of the criticism. And 'Let'splayers' tend not to be too harsh.

We will see.

Oh I have no doubt the game is good.

It was just what I understood went wrong with the game.

That it's a good game on it's own premise, but when compared to the games it was supposed to be compared with, it just seemed mediocre. It's just hard competing with an established franchise. Especially one that is as beloved as DS is, not to mention that DS's own reboot also fell short as the OG games are still as grand as ever.

With exception of the graphics looking a little dated, Deadspace 1 holds up just fine even when compared to newer games. From atmosphere to mechanics, UI and story... It's all perfectly within parameters for the type of game it is.

I think we're likely gonna see some of same with the Silent Hill 2 Remake. There's a lot of marks to hit. Even the old tank controls adds to what makes the game intense and updating the combat system to something less clunky could potentially take away from the game rather than improving it.

As I understand it, Callisto Protocol was made by some of the OG Deadspace Devs.

And the entire concept revolves around filling the hole left by Deadspace as EA haven't shown much interest in any new installments.

But overall it came up short as it didn't seem to add anything particular interesting to the format.

From what I have gathered from various YouTubers, it's scratches the itch of Deadspace without being satisfying.

There's just too much nostalgia tied to DS and CPs story isn't interesting enough.

Yep, eventually ads will creep their way into the payed system.

At the end of the day, there's no such thing as enough money for corporations.

Just got into Shantae and The Seven Sirens. Haven't had a good new side-scroller in quite a while. I'm enjoying it very much so far.

And ofcause, running around on Helldivers 2's new difficulty being stupid. Getting caught up in that whole debacle (what is life without a bit of drama). Fun, if a bit unpolished.

I think you're right on all three accounts.

It does, however, become very finite solution in the scenario that the new game flops. It's having two baskets, putting all your eggs in one and burning the other. So now their entire income is dependent on that one metaphorical basket carrying the weight.

I don't get why sequels now have to come at the cost of the originals death.

Yes, they have nuclear weapons.

They quite like threatening everyone with them, but haven't actually dropped a bomb on anyone yet.

They like testing them often, to make sure we know they still have them.

I've never seen a man cut such a massive on-yon before that video.

Gar tongue loaf?

I mean, "playing nice with others" is kind of a new thing for Sony.

They've leaned in hard on the Exclusivity concept up until now.

People like to think they have refined taste, most do not.

And not just when it comes to food. But art and even basic decor and fashion as well.

It has a tendency to come down to "Is it expensive? Then It's fancy".
