OT OT Game Discussion

I'm not a collector so I have no problem picking up STALKER 2 on Green Man Gaming next time it's on sale after I finish the FANTASTIC Silent Hill 2 remake. People don't realize how much of an advantage it is of having never gotten into the original game, probably makes it x2 better at least. I never even owned a PS2 thanks to Mikami!

Looks like I'm gonna have to waited on Avowed because they are charging 70 USD for it and reports are it's not going to be a very long game like say, Witcher 3 so it's probably definitely not worth launch price. STALKER 2 otoh is bound to go in sale soon and it has had time to get patched together to a degree so it makes much more sense to go there next.

2025 is looking good so far and hopefully no later than summer we will get some concrete information on RE9 we can discuss and dissect.

Interesting that makes sense, it's a fresh experience and you are not judging every little thing they changed. You can just enjoy it for what it is.

Warner Brothers shutting down Monolith Studios. A sad day, Monolith had lots solid titles under their belt (F.E.A.R. series, Condemned, Mordor, etc.), but I think its mostly a case of having a hard time finding talented developers keeping the brand afloat and launching successful new IP's.

I think a F.E.A.R. remake could have gone a long way to keeping them alive because that game has actually aged very well and still plays very nicely, which is unprecedented for a first person shooter. I think they should have at least launched a hail mary and remade the game before pulling the plug. Horror games are doing very nicely these days and F.E.A.R. is a solid horror game so it was definitely worth the effort I think. Crapola.

So I got my Switch and tried Zelda Breath of the Wild...

And absolutely hated it. This is the Resident Evil 4 of Zelda where's they changed all the mechanics and the negative changes like weapon breaking and a world that's too open ended for Zelda outweigh the positive changes like cooking and the nifty Sheikah device.

Too bad, the days of Link to the Past and Ocarina of time are behind us.

However, I am playing Metroid Prime remastered and loving it. Whilst the gameplay/combat is a bit shallow, I have a better affinity to this. The suit upgrading and the backtracking is nice, and a good exercise in memory and makes exploration fun.

I guess Metroid is my #1 Nintendo franchise.

Prime 4 is on the way and it looks fun but more of the same, which is good and all but I think the series is in need of an upgrade.

Let's just hope if/when they do upgrade the Metroid series all of the changes are positive and not mostly negative like Zelda.
