By then, real reviews will make themselves known.
This is the way. There are corpo/early access reviewers who are giving it 10/10s, and I'm also seeing morons screeching about review-boming it because of the DEI/Woke Agenda™️ and that you can make a non-binary player character. It's gonna be a shitshow on release.
Feel bad for the Dragon Age fans, they've been waiting for this for ages.
-puts on tinfoil hat- Is this why we're suddenly getting so many remasters/remakes?
-takes off hat- No, it's probably because the corporate gaming industry is creatively bankrupt and want to cash in on nostalgia with minimal risk. But remakes/remasters probably strengthen the "market harm" portion of their argument.
Thank you for this, I had to scroll down so far to find a subscription-wall free link. Makes me wonder if anyone actually checked the article...
Love Keepass. Love that I can sync it however I want. Love that there are multiple open source client options across several operating systems.
I'm so confused, this game has 94% on metacritic and a "very positive" reception on Steam (91% with 4 000+ reviews). This headline is clickbait as hell, and the comments here are assuming Metaphor: Refantazio got mixed reviews/flamed on socials when it didn't.
The article is just reporting a discussion Katsura Hashino had with Toyama (the creator of Silent Hill) on their views on fan feedback.
This is why I don't care to read Eurogamer articles (and also their cookie preferences with 600+ partners, wtf).
(Also, both Refantazio and the Silent Hill 2 remake are pretty good. Can't believe I have to praise Konami in 2024 🤮)
Meanwhile I've been getting assblasted with ads for it on every whitelisted app/site. I knew this game existed since it was announced in 2016, I am an avid SMT/Persona player. Why tf am I getting the ads?
Marketing team fucked something up in the targeting.
Great now I have leekspin/levan polka stuck in my head. Thanks OP
Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.
Thanks for comparing notes!
I have no doubt there is at least one small, enthusiastic group in Tokyo dedicated to building/promoting miniPCs lol. That city has a niche for EVERYTHING that has penetrated Japanese social consciousness.
I don't even see this option on my account. Old Canadian account, but my phone/Paypal app is EU.
Net cafes are already a thing there, but personal gaming at home has always been dominated by the portable market or consoles, partially because Japanese companies are the ones making 2/3 of them, but also because the majority of the "gaming" demographic are younger people who live in small studio apartments in Tokyo, and would opt to have a TV with cable television and consoles in their living rooms.
With streaming becoming a big thing, at home media centres are slowly shifting to personal laptops (especially during the pandemic). I have maybe seen two actual gaming PC towers when I lived there (because again, you can go to a net cafe/PC bang for that), but a lot of the gamers I knew were slowly shifting to modest gaming laptops for their at home setups.
I think DA2 knew what it wanted to be, EA just decided to not let Bioware have the time or manpower to do it.
I personally think that it still has the best overarching story, environ and atmosphere in the series so far, and (controversial opinion) I LIKED that I played as Hawke. The Warden and the Inquisitor are the typical "thrown into a world changing even they have tenuous connections to", and feel a degree removed from anything but the main event sometimes.
But Hawke? They are in the thick of it. Does not matter what class Hawke is, my guy/girl is going through it at every (repeated dungeon) stage of the game. I honestly felt more for Hawke in my playthrough of DA2 than my personal avatars in Origin and Inquisition. Kirkwall sucks soooo bad, man.
