For the record, I enjoyed it when it released, and still pop it in every now and then. Felt like that game was unfairly trashed.

Devil's Third is solid. I think most people never even tried it.

Well...looks batshit crazy....AND it's a new IP......just bought it.
I'm tired of the endless sequels, spin-offs, remasters and ports.
Want to support this. Next up will be Atomic Heart, them Octopath Traveller 2 (although it's a sequel, there were things that they needed to do better this time around. And it's a #2...not a #16 like FF.)

People probably think I'm crazy when I keep repeating the same about NeverDead. I'm gonna make a bold claim that most if not all the reviews about it were utter nonsense and borderline hit pieces. It got scores like 1/10, 2/10 and 3/10 (from our very own IGN). Then faded away into obscurity.
IGN ranted about almost everything else rather then the gameplay like the female sidekick's clothing. There were hardly any details about the gameplay.

I still have that and never tried it. Need to hook up the PS3 some day. It's crazy how inventive it seems now compared to the boring crap peddled by major publishers today.

Noisy Pixel: 7.5/10
(The written review is linked in the OP)
Looks fun. I will give it a go sometime after Hogwarts Legacy.

I'm getting total Devil's Third vibes from those brief writeups. I dunno, maybe the game will suck but D3rd is a legit good/fun game and if this is anything like it, I know I'll enjoy it.
Also, maybe it truly does suck but describing something as dated, and then knocking it for being dated just doesn't hold any weight for me. I'm much more interest in dated mechanics than I am modern mechanics.

So much promise from this first trailer which put it on my radar. I guess it did not fully pan out.

Yeah reminds me of that Yongyea guy. Claims to love games but 95% of his videos is a negative topic on the gaming industry. Just spreading bad vibes for clicks.

Finished it - game is fun for the most part, I agree with that 7.5 noisy pixel review.
The good:
- combat is fun and stylish
- mini games are nice
- very oldskool style that we dont see much anymore
The bad:
- The game looks like a PS3/4 game
- is a tad janky and the camera can be annoying sometimes
- there is some big difficulty spikes - the first Ninja you meet and the final level which lacks checkpoints where they throw one hard enemy after another at you.
- can be unfair at times
- a tad short
The ugly:
- had a few crashes after dying and restarting.
- a game that looks like this shouldnt have heavy framedrops on PS5 - but doesnt happen often
Overall:
Had fun with it, but could have been quite abit better!

Kudos to Chris Plante at Polygon.

I feel like he's actually managing to articulate some of the reasons why I find this game so fascinating, and respect it as much as I do.
"The sheer audacity of creative choices contained within the police HQ entranced me. How did this get made? Why? For who?"
"The closest cultural comparison I can muster for Wanted: Dead is the 1960s French New Wave, when a band of critics turned filmmakers were hellbent on intentionally breaking cinema so that it could become something new. Traditional structure, framing, camera work, and all the other rules of filmmaking were questioned, blended, or outright abandoned."

I mean for the most part though, he’s right. I had the luxury of playing a buddy’s copy of wanted: dead and couldn’t make it through the tutorial. The opening cutscene left such a bad taste in my mouth. If the rest of the game was going to be shaded like that, pass.And for the cherry on top...
Everyone has said wild hearts is basically early access still and janky af. Broken settings and shit performance.
While I love Hogwarts, am like 60 hours in and on my second playthrough, there is no doubt that its performance suffers massively for little to no reason. You’ll just be walking along in the school and then your fps shits the bed and drops to 15 for a moment. Constantly tweaking settings and testing and modifying ini files to try to fix issues that should have been resolved before the game shipped DOES sap some of the fun out of it.
Zelda DOES look like DLC.
Goldeneye “remaster” having the same issues as it did on 64 to “remain authentic?” What?
And one piece odyssey suffers from ugly ass models, slow gameplay, and CONSTANT. BLACK. SCREENS. It’s just a poorly designed game.
While I disagree with a some of his opinions and definitely a lot of the hyperbole, he’s not totally wrong for expecting and demanding more out of these sterling IPs and their developers.

Imagine justifying a channel based almost entirely on seething negativity, rants, and foaming at the mouth against this or that game because "he's not totally wrong."

This went under my radar for some reason, digging the Capcom / Clover vibes. My physical copy arrives tomorrow!

Haven't heard anything yet. I think they're planning a roadmap and will announce it.
