Im not one of “those boys”. I don’t care much either way although I don’t like overt sexualised game characters because I find it distracting and silly - Quiet being the worst offender in my opinion although FF7R was embarrassing too.

I was just pointing out that saying “she’s hawt” when you’re comparing her all painted up to what she looks like raw, isn’t suddenly gonna convince someone who doesn’t like the look of the character to like the look of the character.

And I think it is valid to have an opinion one way or the other on the look of character. Yeh if it’s just “show me titties” then that’s pathetic, but if someone doesn’t like the art style and presentation then I can understand.

HM have chosen a professional, serious and perhaps even somewhat realistic representation of a female astronaut. I’m good with that, but others may prefer a more fictionalised depiction.

Hey whatever flows your boat. never said she was "hawt" only said she's attractive. And I couldn't give a rats ass if they don't get convince or not that's not the point of my post. my point is it's silly to see alot of posts saying "she's gotta be good looking! or else!" Being incredibly retarded if you wanna go play as pretty female protagonist? go buy cyberpunk 2077 and create one otherwise this game ain't it for them or others who think like him. if that's all that drives your motor then it's quite sad.

We just want to have a pleasant character to look at, not at ugly designs, that's it. There's enough ugly people when I go out for a walk and honestly, fuck you and your representation, I don't want to see you in a game as well.

Hell, her actress is hot, how did they manage to fuck her up so much in the game?

 

[DenchDeckard]

I hope this reviews really well! Would be amazing to have the Dev deliver an incredible triple A experience as their first big game. Would help cement them amongst the big players.

 

[GymWolf]

Then you really should get your eyes checked. RT in Miles and Spider-Man is very noticeable when you're swinging between huge reflective skyscrapers. You can immediately tell when it's turned off. An Returnal doesn't use RT reflections, but lighting and I believe audio rays.



Well we don't know where the story goes yet and they're hiding 4 other biomes, so who knows. But going on the previews it's a visual, audible and sensual (in terms of controller feedback) spectacle with excellent controls and a highly addictive gameplay loop. So apart from it maybe being to difficult for some folks, there doesn't seem to be a lot not to like.

Dude we are saying the same thing, morales rtx is far more visible\noticeable.

Rtx on returnal was in doubt until the official news and people still didn't fully believed that even with a couple of tech analysis on yt...

Morales rtx is far more visible than returnal.

So you want to tap to her but can’t?

 

[betrayal]

Wasn't the game officially supposed to be released tomorrow? My version from the PSN store says it's playable today from 2:00 PM (Germany). So in just under two hours.

Setting up straw man arguments that people say she needs to be hot/sexy/pretty/etc and then criticizing people as sad/pathetic/etc is what I’ve seen repeated in this thread by people who disagree with criticism about her facial model. I think she’s ugly and you don’t. We can disagree, but there’s no reason to get hyperbolic about it like I’ve seen in this thread.

 

[Bramble]

Fancy vibration and resistant trigger have zero impact in the gameplay so i don't know what are you talking about.
I don't get more immersed because i feel the vibration from the rain, to me it just means that i have to recharge the already shitty battery life of the ds5 more frequently...
Having to press half the trigger to aim and the full press to fire is not nextgen, is just a different method of doing things, not an improvement, we are gonna talk again when people are gonna broke these triggers...

Sure if you have very low expectation we can say that a couple of gimmicks are nextgen features, sure.

And like i said, i don't give a damn about rtx, devs can forget this stuff to give me 60 fps in every game and it would be a much better nextgen features.

Games not having shitty low textures on sight or looking like pixar movie are far more impressive nextgen features, but my preference always goes toward physics\destruction\ia advancement tbh.

And please, some vibration on a controller is nowhere near the immersion provided by vr, don't even joke or compare the two things, is like comparing sex with a 5 dollars inflatable doll and sex with a real pornstar just because you stuff your dick inside something...

Good haptic feedback literally ads extra immersion and therefor makes a game more fun to play. Thank god for charging docks and the USB C cable that's sitting literally next to me on the couch (which I hardly ever use of the DualSense). They way they utilize the trigger is besides cool, just a very nice addition in terms of having both regular fire as alt-fire under the same trigger and makes controlling the game more intuitive, which is in particular very helpful in this case, because of the fast paced gameplay. Plus it also frees up another button.

And 60 fps is something that was already available last gen and I believe even gens before that. Not in every game, but it's there. I like it, but it isn't next gen. Way more impressed by the load/boot times and controller immersion.

I think just calling graphics next gen is a pretty shallow mindset, to the point I'm wondering if you even enjoy gaming at all.

No one is getting hyperbolic but you and a another guy. I don't see the reason in why her being pretty or the need to be pretty is a requirement to enjoy the damn game. come for the gameplay, story and graphics but if that's all it takes for you enjoy it. then by all means go find another game then simple.


On-topic: any other reviews have leaked since the first two were removed?

 

[Markio128]

Well, unsurprisingly this thread has turned into a shit-show lol

Don't worry about my enjoyment, just be happy of considering some controller gimmicks extremely fun, innovative and nextgen, i sincerely envy you.

I often wonder do most people actually enjoy gaming here, or just like to post counter/political responses for unknown reasons.

Have you not read the thread? How many people have said criticisms of her face are because the character isn’t hot or sexualized enough for the critics?

Like I said, if I were just able to play a game and not be forced to watch cutscenes it wouldn’t even be an issue. I could enjoy what you’re talking about. I don’t even think she has to be pretty. I’m perfectly fine with a character like Cere in Fallen Order who looks just average.

Or maybe different people have different opinions in a damn forum, i know, it is hard to grasp.

We are not robots who think the same, like we said in italy, il mondo è bello perchè vario.

Imagine thinking that people don't enjoy games because they don't rip their hairs off for some controller functions...

It is going to reset after the countdown expires to show the time left to midnight.

Let it go and stop derailing the thread with your crap. I'm going to as well as I suggest we both do it.

It was a perfectly legitimate criticism. It wouldn’t have gone this far if people didn’t loose their minds when I mentioned it.

This is a review thread, not about your character opinions, we already know them by the other 3 thread about this game. GTFO

 

[demonstr8]

Also who cares about face when you got such a firm butt:

Just use this suit with 100% tinted helmet to cover the face if it's an issue.

Lmao this guy has definitely had a paper bag job before. Based.

It’s part of the game, no? I made one comment that was responded to and I defended my position. Reviews aren’t even out yet to talk about. This was all pre review conversation.

There's always someone that wants to fap!

Why do you say that? I doubt that the patch touch anything about cutscenes, the game was 54 gb originally.

You should. A big step up from being so bitter and only being able to be impressed by just how something looks.

Yeah i don't know why i wasted my time with you if your conclusion is that i'm bitter and only enjoy the look of a game, enjoy your fancy vibrations dude

Ready your own posts dude. All you do is whine. Thank good for the ignore option. Bye.

 

[Arun1910]

I'm glad that they chose her because she fits well as an astronaut. And she also looks decent and nowhere near ugly. I for one don't like playing with a female character in general, but when it's portrayed as a stripper on Neir that literally makes me skip the game totally.

I've read zero complaints about that.

Oi oi guess I picking this up then.

 

[recma12]

Yeah, it is what it is, won’t likely change because a couple of cranky gamers on forums complain. The market will decide if it’s okay. I would buy it if I had a PS5, most interesting exclusive so far for me.

IMO people on gaming forums complain the most because they tend to buy lots of games and buy them new, to be part of the discussion. If you buy 10 games a year the extra cost adds up.
For the bulk of Sony customers, those who buy CoD and FIFA, the extra cost doesn't matter.

Obviously, as a forum rando, I have no idea what their strategy is with 79.99€.
But I think it gives them a little more wiggle room.
If a game really sells well and gets great scores they can collect that extra 10€.
If a game bombs the PSN sales look juicier because they can mark them down to 59.99€ and say you saved 20€.

Best chance to change Sony's mind is vote with your wallet and go physical.
When Sony notices that the physical share goes up, they might lower the PSN prices.

Or just use the US store. I payed €66 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, which is about as cheap as I can find a physical copy.

Well, the counterargument to that would be that one year ago you could get the games for 56€ at the US PSN Store.
But yeah, if you don't like paying 80€ there's ways around it.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I think we need to start a GoFundMe to help ease the sexual fustration of some of these poster

Get them on a plane to thailand with some spending money

 

[shenmue mugen]

They also want new IP’s, they want companies to take risks, they ignore how smaller companies taking risks can only work out with a very high reward as a prize (betting on 15 million sales at $30 is quite unwise / impossible to scale to the entire industry), etc…

You do not have to buy it before it goes on a sale, but do not complain if you end up liking it and Sony does not green light a sequel. Choices == consequences.

We saw what happened to Days Gone 2.....

 

[Ellery]

smh haters always need something to complain. Game not even out but people now mad they can't masturbate to some pixels on a screen lmao. Poor woman mad busy with gigantic demons from space.

What level of horniness can people without girlfriends reach. Go to the steam online dating simulator waifu games

 

[FunkMiller]

There are dozens of games, movies, comics, and TV shows out there with hot women in skimpy clothing if you want to ogle something. Grow the fuck up.

 

[Arun1910]

You can't just use 1 example and classify it as the norm.

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

I’m fine with that. I just don’t stand for being falsely being labeled what I would call a perv when I make a point. That’s what dragged me into derailing this thread.

 

[recma12]

We saw what happened to Days Gone 2.....

Bad example.
Days Gone got kinda fucked over by critics and the initial full price sales figured weren't that great.
Later, when it was marked down to 29.99€, came to the PS5 Collection and ended up on PS+ people were like "OMG Days Gone is amazing".

That said, all we know is that there won't be any Days Gone 2 for now. But let's be real, that game is 2-3 years old and just received a low key remaster with the PS5 patch. In a couple of years things might be different.

 

[Justin9mm]

I don't understand the big deal about the price hike of $10 it's the difference between chicken tenders and steak one night out at some restaurants lol

In Australia it's not $10. New release physical games in our known big stores went from $79 AUD to $108.

 

[GymWolf]

Ready your own posts dude. All you do is whine. Thank good for the ignore option. Bye.

Oh no, i'm gonna miss the posts of the guy who talk big about immersion but dismiss graphics like it wasn't a huge part of the immersion in games since ever, i can barely sleep at night now...

goodbye my child.

This logic I heard somewhere before...oh right, Hollywood and other places we can't discuss anymore. It's definitely a healthy outlook on life and grounded on logic.

It's also reductionist and dishonest, but we all know that you have zero arguments if you didn't set up your strawman.

 

[M1chl]

Seems a bit big. I fear the cutscenes may be prerendred.

Maybe game just have really nice texture, so far we don't really have game where textures are current-gen maybe The Medium, Demon's Souls so far what I have seen. this is my biggest gripe so far with this gen, you have really nice effect, lighting, resolution, FPS....but fucking ugly textures.

[Bo_Hazem]

So is this gonna be demon souls hard cuz I suck at souls games. Or is it worse?

Souls are harder than they should be due to the slow and clunky movement of the main protagonist. This game though should be as hard, harder, easier depending on your kind of skills. Demon's Souls is more strategic and this one needs more faster flexes and fast thinking.
