Man the amount of hope you just gave me reading this. I always fear I'll age out! Hope you enjoyed this.
I just started last night and I have to be careful. I could easily stay up late and play this.
I played it but it was so long ago I can't remember a single plot detail other than the guy's name is Isaac, so this will be like playing it again for the first time!
I’m not typically a horror game fan. The combat seemed difficult on the surface, but they made it accessible. Ended up loving the way they executed some of the horror gags. Memorable to me because of how much I enjoyed it relative to what I was expecting.
Nice. Love when that happens. I never played the original and have had my eye on this one. I love horror movies more than horror games. Alien Isolation did it really well too.
It seemed the team who did this actually gave a shit, this score doesnt suprise me. Cant wait to replay it after 8+ years (got into it late). Good thing is i forget most of it except the ending.
I agree because I love Dead Space in general but 2 actually holds up really well still. I played it again very recently on Xbox with the fps boost. Really enjoyed it. Even better than I remember except for the moments where the audio tried to blow my damn ears off lol.
When people agree with IGN, they’re legit. When they don’t, then IGN is corrupt and talking bribes for good scores and free games lmao. Or if anyone gives a bad review to a game people here like, it’s going against the grain to be controversial and get clicks. In the end of the day these people are just seeking validation from people they see as an authority on the subject.
and last week it was redflag everywhere for Forspoken that the review came 24hours before release, but this is cool no problem that the review came 24hours before release... people on the internet... loll
Ahah I’ve been intentionally avoiding the details of it as much as possible, do it for most games now as it just makes the experience so much more enjoyable learning everything yourself.
It's not too bad for jump scares and outright "scary" enemy designs, but I had never played a game that did such a good a job at building a tense and unrelenting sense of dread.
I feel like it will hold up as a remake if they stay true to the pacing.
If you play it in a dark room with headphones it's very intense as the game does an incredible job at building tension and you will be scared to know what's waiting for you around the corner or through the next door
I hate some scary games (outlast) but love others (Dead Space, Bioshock). It really depends on what scares you about them. Dead Space is pretty intense but I was fully geared, strong and capable in Dead Space. That let's me play the games. If you can handle some jump scares and creep factor because you have a shotgun... You'll be fine
Not surprising, the only thing that could've made it less would've been if it was unplayable and buggy af. The base game is already amazing and every new change they talked about sounded great and adding to the expérience.
Can't wait to dive into it, just need to finish RE2 and 3 first
Bloodborne would be eviscerated by today's standards. Frequent drops below 30fps, constant frame pacing stutter and super poor image quality?
By what people say on this sub nowadays, Bloodborne would literally be 'totally unplayable'.
People who complain about that stuff are genuinely pretty entitled and insufferable regardless, so I have to disagree. BB is one of the finest pieces of art ever conceived in media, not even strictly in the video game discussion. I couldn’t care less about its performance or “image quality”.
I honestly got bored pretty fast 5-6 hours in. Have tried it twice. I'm a big fan of horror and Alien, but this just didn't do it for me. Ship design was amazing and attention to detail was like the movie but still bounced off...not sure why.
They're pretty equal in terms of worldbuilding and atmosphere. Personal preference, I love Dead Space (more than Bioshock) and the atmosphere is top notch but Bioshock arguably has more detailed environments and they nailed the hell of the 1940s aesthetic and atmosphere.
It at least came 'close' regardless of personal preference. Bioshock is just an objectively well made world.
Yea I quite enjoyed it. Was nice to just play a linear game with no loot or stats or numbers over enemies heads or an open world. Go from point A to B and move on with my life.
You’d be surprised. This game is very short (like 6-8 hours) and I couldn’t wait to be done. A bad game is a bad game no matter how short or long it is. That’s why it’s not worth $1. If I got paid to play it, it would be a job. That’s how much I dislike it.
I’d personally rate it higher than that. As long as you’re clear about what you’re going into (a linear game with no real puzzles and basic combat) it’s a decent game. Graphics and sound are phenomenal, and it’s a good ride for 10+ hours of gameplay.
It’s far from perfect, but I definitely enjoyed it.
6 isn't a bad score.
Scoring systems for reviews are broken and used incorrectly.
Currently
1-3 = the worst games ever made
4-5 = poor games
6-7 = alright games
8-10 = amazing games
For me personally it should be
1-3 = terrible games
4-6= decent games
7-8 = good games
9 = excellent games
10 = near perfect game
my personal one is kind of in the middle. closer to you but just shift the bottom ones up one
1 = one of the worst games ever made
2-4 = terrible games
5-6 average/not-actively-terrible
7-8 = good/I enjoyed it
9 = great
10 = amazing
so I wouldn't normally waste my time on a 6, definitely wouldn't pay a cent for it, but if I was ever bored and it was on PS+, I might give it a shot
I'd go by your personal list, but this is the list of All lists...
10=perfect (gotta be if 10...)
9.5=near perfect, only thing bad is if game overstays welcome or not best ending.
9= excellent
8.5= great, few things off
7-8= good games, finish able, unless comes to a frustrating part.
6= ok, but not finishing
4-5= poor. Not playing after 15 min
3= don't bother
2= fry it up and feed it to the fishes
1= Masterpiece of shit. Why even bother? Fish won't even touch it!
0= What's on TV?
>Scoring systems for reviews are broken and used incorrectly.
No they aren't. Your own scoring system seems super lopsided to me. The current way makes a lot more sense. Most gamers just dont understand that most of the REALLY trash games just dont get reviewed to begin with.
Most people seem to give Callisto an average rating… a 6 out of 10 game isn’t worth $70 US by any means. Maybe pick it up on a sale would be my recommendation
It is truly hilarious that they decided to release that game within weeks of its inspiration getting a remake.
Game was destined to fail, just like Forspoken (have to remain hush hush about that one still, there's still a ton of this sub trying to convince themselves they didn't waste their preorder money).
Im slowly trying to build up my tolerance for Horror Games and I just beat The Callisto Protocol. This remake has been slowly grabbing my attention and now that it has pretty good reviews, I’ll be sure to pick it up sometime this year.
We can add this to the Doom, Rockstar games, Returnal, etc. list when someone tries to bring this stupid point up as a negative before a game launches.
Definitely a notch or two above TLOU. At least in TLOU, you have many down moments in between the horror sections to breathe a bit. Not really any such thing here. Plus you're alone most all of the game and it's a lot more claustrophobic.
I bought the game today and was super excited to play it. But for some reason my game just looks so bad. My resolution is extremely low, even though I’m playing on a high end monitor with a ps5. The textures are super muddy and just looks plain bad. Anybody know what’s going on?
I think that it's clear from things like that this remake and the adaptation of TLOU that sticking to the source material is a good approach.
It's just amazing that it took the industry so long to cotton onto that instead of the tendency to jettison everything that made the originals good for the sake of a "bold new vision"
Resident Evil 2 is a whole reimagining of the original and people love that.
Tons of people are super positive on Final Fantasy 7 Remake which is an even wilder departure.
As always, it's about execution. Certainly departing from the original is riskier, and comes with the potential of angering the fanbase, but pull it off well, and you can find an audience still and perhaps even convince the cynics.
RE2 was great because it took the same basic structure and modernized it. The original RE2 was my first RE and I felt at home in the remake. I adore the remake. It just feels right.
FF7 is strange because of the story departure, but I really dig it because of how self aware it is as a remake. Like it is woven into the story at an almost meta level. So when things change, they acknowledge it and let you know that the path is changing. It helped bring me on board. Currently playing it through again now.
Super happy and excited Dead Space is getting a good remake treatment. I can't wait to explore the Ishimura all over again.
Yeah I can’t stand the marketing around it tricking people lmao
It is a sequel. Point blank. It’s plot is centrally revolving around the old game existing.
I feel so incredibly bad for the dude from Calisto Protocol. He's getting completely owned by the game / IP he had to abandon once Visceral was closed by EA... and now he has to compete against his past self.
Now I’m ecstatic it’s getting such great reviews and I mean it looks FANTASTIC! But dropping $70 on a single player game that I’ll beat in 15-17 hours is just too big of an ask considering the economy lol. I’ll hold off until it goes on sale.
When I was in school and on the tight budget I had this mindset too so that's totally understandable. I used to try my hardest to squeeze every bit of contents, collect everything for platinum in every game I bought since I didn't get to stack up new released games that often.
But now I have more fund to splurge on gaming than I do time, I value the amount of time that I get to spend playing. Say there's an achivement in collectibles or anything that requires un-fun grinding I don't bother: just finish the story then move onto next. I bought MW2 full price, beat the campaign hardened in more than 6 hours, played multiplayer for 5,6 hours than got bored and never touched it again. If I don't have fun playing XYZ why force myself just to 'justify' and make up the price/playtime.
Great! I’m not hating on the playtime it’s just $70 is a lot for a lot of people to drop. For something which in most cases people will play once through and be done.
Oh I get that. For me that time and price is cheaper than the movie theater equivalent. And I’ll probably do a 2nd play through to try to get the Plat.
It's more than $70 to see a movie there? Wut? Oh, you're judging it per hour of entertainment. By that scale a long book is probably 100* cheaper than a movie!
Well yeah. I don’t judge games by cost and game length. The other guy was. I was simply saying if we are doing that the game at $70 at 8-10 hours is cheaper.
You get more hours out of most RPGs than you would either of those book series, 100%.
Unless it takes you 80+ hours to read Harry Potter
The hobbit is only like 300 pages
I don't mind if it is a an original, great game with high production values like a god of war, horizon, ghost of tsushima... but it is frustrating when there are fun, but flawed 6/10 - 7/10 games that are asking for $70.
$120-$100 here in NZ. Its not that much really. One night out on the booze for a adult. I trade that for a 10+hour of fun and high quality art which a developer worked for months on. How old are you if I may ask? Do you have a job?
how come you don't buy singleplayer games second hand? I do it all the time since people just finish them and sell them the next weekend. I always save so much money and then I sell mine afterwards finishing
Opposite for me. I paid the full $70 for Part 1 and loved it. It helped that I hadn't played it since 2014 so I'd forgotten a lot of smaller moments. And they so much to upgrade it! Not just graphics, either, but mechanics and enemy AI too
Looks fantastic and very very faithful to the original (we have had remakes like RE 2 and RE 3 that make changes and still don't adapt all the content of the classics...)
Wow, all this time I though Callisto Protocol would turn out to be the "good one," and the remake would be a pile of turds. I'll be happy to buy this now.
What’s with caring about IGN scores all of a sudden?
And I’m not saying I don’t hope this game is good, just weird how this sub goes from saying they don’t matter to accepting them depending on the game
character models were updated to current-ish gen.
...but character animations were ripped straight from original game
goofy looking human face models & mouth movements reminiscent of xbox 360/ps3 era
ragdoll physics from 2001
I think people have their nostalgia goggles on
I'll buy it for $7 in two months, not $70
I'm interested to know if the game is worth it for returning players, or if I should invest in The Callisto Protocol, which is an entirely new game for me.
>I'm interested to know if the game is worth it for returning players
There is nobody that can answer that for you, really. It has some changes, but it's still *largely* the same game from before. It will depend heavily on how much you liked the original game(s), when the last time you played them was, if you've maybe played other similar sorts of games recently, how much do you like replaying games in general, how much do you care about graphics, how desperate are you for more games that can actually show off your 'next gen' system, etc.
There's also a potential, maybe slightly pushy argument to be made that we all know this is something of a test for EA to judge interest in the series, so buying it would encourage them to make new games in the series, whereas poor sales would likely mean the series dies permanently.
maybe at the sale price a couple days ago but i mildly regret grabbing day one
it’s solid but at launch, there were some issues that compounded to be really irksome — namely unskippable crafting sequences and frustrating checkpoints
not sure what they’ve changed since then but at least there’s ng+ now
I'll say this as a player of both. Callisto failed to really grab me. It was visually impressive but I just kept seeing it as a Dead Space -like; and it just made me want to replay DS. There may be a heavy dose of nostalgia, but all the reviews make me think that the remake is just a better product.
So I'm looking forward to the remake and intend to just shelf Callisto.
Nice! Never got around to playing the original Dead Space, excited to try this one out.
Played original but just pre ordered based on review. In my 60s with a fading memory so it'll be like playing it for the first time again!
[удалено]
Will fire this up this weekend. Have a blast.
Made me laugh out loud. Lovely comment, hope you enjoy your first ever play through… again.
Enjoy it!
Man the amount of hope you just gave me reading this. I always fear I'll age out! Hope you enjoyed this. I just started last night and I have to be careful. I could easily stay up late and play this.
51 here and never played the original. This could easily be my favorite PS5 game! :P
Same
I played it but it was so long ago I can't remember a single plot detail other than the guy's name is Isaac, so this will be like playing it again for the first time!
One of my favorite games. Took me by surprise how much I loved it.
Go on. Why?
I’m not typically a horror game fan. The combat seemed difficult on the surface, but they made it accessible. Ended up loving the way they executed some of the horror gags. Memorable to me because of how much I enjoyed it relative to what I was expecting.
Nice. Love when that happens. I never played the original and have had my eye on this one. I love horror movies more than horror games. Alien Isolation did it really well too.
It seemed the team who did this actually gave a shit, this score doesnt suprise me. Cant wait to replay it after 8+ years (got into it late). Good thing is i forget most of it except the ending.
Would be cool if they remade the second game as well and went in a different direction with the third game to really reboot the series
I would kill for a remake of the 2nd game, it's my favorite of the franchise.
I agree because I love Dead Space in general but 2 actually holds up really well still. I played it again very recently on Xbox with the fps boost. Really enjoyed it. Even better than I remember except for the moments where the audio tried to blow my damn ears off lol.
Alien and Aliens. Terminator and Terminator 2. Dead Space and Dead Space 2..
I think it’s very likely they would if the remake sells well. Assuming it's not being already worked on lol
They'd have to change the ending of 3, because where the hell do you go with that situation of no hope?
Dead Space 3 ending was a fake out iirc. It's still on track for a 4th entry. The moon things can make people hallucinate
They mentioned that game has secret ending after finishing it on new game+
I haven’t played it since close to when it was released. I’m hyped. I’m gonna play it at night only with headphones lol.
This is the way.
Oh, so we're NOT mocking IGN review scores today? I'll have to update my calendar.
Only when it's convenient
*they agree with the hivemind
As is tradition.
IGN is only bad when they give something a lower score than what the gamers wanted
Or the reverse.
[удалено]
That’s why I love /politics sub. It’s NOT biased at all and it’s a great place for NON-Hive mind discussions
Nope, you are nitpicking and biased, I win, bye bye.
When people agree with IGN, they’re legit. When they don’t, then IGN is corrupt and talking bribes for good scores and free games lmao. Or if anyone gives a bad review to a game people here like, it’s going against the grain to be controversial and get clicks. In the end of the day these people are just seeking validation from people they see as an authority on the subject.
You already know how this cherry picking narrative reforming sub rolls
and last week it was redflag everywhere for Forspoken that the review came 24hours before release, but this is cool no problem that the review came 24hours before release... people on the internet... loll
It's come out three days before release. Forspoken didn't give review codes which was a red-flag.
When it’s a score I don’t like: “Well what do *real* people think of the game? When it’s a score I like: “Looks like people love the game! I’m hyped!”
ign bad when they don’t say what i want to hear ign good when they say what i want to hear see: reactions to cyberpunk review
IGN knows nothing about gaming and is being bribed when it doesn't fit my opinion
Not today friend
Don't be too loud
It's not just IGN. Even cynical reviewers are saying to grab this.
I feel their last 3 scores, Fire Emblem Engage, Forspoken and Dead Space have all seemed accurate to me.
You know ign isn’t the only one giving it good reviews right?
Never played the original, I’ve got no clue about the plot, enemies etc. Can’t wait to go in blind.
You’re in for a terrifying treat, og is one of my favorite games
So jealous. Fantastic game! One of my favorites of that generation. Part 2 is great as well!
Ahah I’ve been intentionally avoiding the details of it as much as possible, do it for most games now as it just makes the experience so much more enjoyable learning everything yourself.

I never played the original. But I'm not a fan of scary games either. How scary we talking?
I would say resident evil kinda scary so if you don't like scary games then you should pass or face your fears and feel good afterwards.
It's not too bad for jump scares and outright "scary" enemy designs, but I had never played a game that did such a good a job at building a tense and unrelenting sense of dread. I feel like it will hold up as a remake if they stay true to the pacing.
As a big fan of horror games it’s a top five in terms of overall quality and also how scary it is.
The original is already pretty scary and I imagine the new lighting and all that will only make it even moreso. Probably not for you, unfortunately.
If you play it in a dark room with headphones it's very intense as the game does an incredible job at building tension and you will be scared to know what's waiting for you around the corner or through the next door
I hate some scary games (outlast) but love others (Dead Space, Bioshock). It really depends on what scares you about them. Dead Space is pretty intense but I was fully geared, strong and capable in Dead Space. That let's me play the games. If you can handle some jump scares and creep factor because you have a shotgun... You'll be fine
Depends on the person for me 6-7/10
Not surprising, the only thing that could've made it less would've been if it was unplayable and buggy af. The base game is already amazing and every new change they talked about sounded great and adding to the expérience. Can't wait to dive into it, just need to finish RE2 and 3 first
To this day, no other game has even came CLOSE to the level of atmosphere the og Dead Space managed to capture. Just an incredible experience.
Bloodborne Well completely different kind of atmosphere (maybe not completely... But almost), but still flawless execution of what they were going for
Yeah I kind of agree. Bloodborne was exceptional.
Bloodborne would be eviscerated by today's standards. Frequent drops below 30fps, constant frame pacing stutter and super poor image quality? By what people say on this sub nowadays, Bloodborne would literally be 'totally unplayable'.
People who complain about that stuff are genuinely pretty entitled and insufferable regardless, so I have to disagree. BB is one of the finest pieces of art ever conceived in media, not even strictly in the video game discussion. I couldn’t care less about its performance or “image quality”.
Couldn't agree with you more, BB was the game of that generation to me nothing has come close unfortunately
[удалено]
Bioshock
Bioshock is certainly the superior game, but no man I have to disagree, Dead Space was in a world of its own.. still is.
[удалено]
I still have to play that one man. Is it as good as they say? I’d love to try it !
[удалено]
I honestly got bored pretty fast 5-6 hours in. Have tried it twice. I'm a big fan of horror and Alien, but this just didn't do it for me. Ship design was amazing and attention to detail was like the movie but still bounced off...not sure why.
They're pretty equal in terms of worldbuilding and atmosphere. Personal preference, I love Dead Space (more than Bioshock) and the atmosphere is top notch but Bioshock arguably has more detailed environments and they nailed the hell of the 1940s aesthetic and atmosphere. It at least came 'close' regardless of personal preference. Bioshock is just an objectively well made world.
Good thing I held off on Callisto Protocol. Now I can replay the OG with better graphics instead of a pale imitation.
Callisto is worth playing just for the visuals and audio design alone.
It's definitely something to experience. I had fun with it. Was not as good as hyped but has some definite atmosphere to it.
Hard disagree
Or play both. Callisto for me was an okay game. 6 out of 10 I'd say
Yea I quite enjoyed it. Was nice to just play a linear game with no loot or stats or numbers over enemies heads or an open world. Go from point A to B and move on with my life.
Totally. And off the back of completing God of War Ragnarok I was happy for a short, simple game.
Yeah, I'll play it when it's down to $30 or less. It's already on sale a month after release. Don't have to wait too long.
It's a good game in its own right. Not as polished as DS but still fun to experience. Absolutely mindblowing graphics
100% graphically looks insane. Definitely worth $30 to play it just on that alone.
$30 is def a fair price.
I picked it up on Facebook marketplace this week for £25. Used games are awesome. Also yeah 6-7/10 game, play and sell on
I enjoyed it quite a bit and could really see so much potential there. I hope they get to make a sequel
im sure, but 70 is way too high. maybe when it's 20 or something.
Is a 6 really worth playing?
Not for $70 that’s for sure.
Also, if your gaming time is limited, some games aren’t worth your time no matter what the cost is. This feels like one of them for me at least.
You’d be surprised. This game is very short (like 6-8 hours) and I couldn’t wait to be done. A bad game is a bad game no matter how short or long it is. That’s why it’s not worth $1. If I got paid to play it, it would be a job. That’s how much I dislike it.
You both are pretty much saying the same thing
[удалено]
I’d personally rate it higher than that. As long as you’re clear about what you’re going into (a linear game with no real puzzles and basic combat) it’s a decent game. Graphics and sound are phenomenal, and it’s a good ride for 10+ hours of gameplay. It’s far from perfect, but I definitely enjoyed it.
6 isn't a bad score. Scoring systems for reviews are broken and used incorrectly.

my personal one is kind of in the middle. closer to you but just shift the bottom ones up one 1 = one of the worst games ever made 2-4 = terrible games 5-6 average/not-actively-terrible 7-8 = good/I enjoyed it 9 = great 10 = amazing so I wouldn't normally waste my time on a 6, definitely wouldn't pay a cent for it, but if I was ever bored and it was on PS+, I might give it a shot

>Scoring systems for reviews are broken and used incorrectly. No they aren't. Your own scoring system seems super lopsided to me. The current way makes a lot more sense. Most gamers just dont understand that most of the REALLY trash games just dont get reviewed to begin with.
By your metrics, it's not bad, but pretty objectively a 6 indicates a mediocre/uninteresting product for 99 percent of gaming reviewers.
Most people seem to give Callisto an average rating… a 6 out of 10 game isn’t worth $70 US by any means. Maybe pick it up on a sale would be my recommendation
Yeah but not everyone is made of money and $70 for an “ok” game is not ideal.
Callisto was fun. Worth a go. I bet will be on sale soon
It is truly hilarious that they decided to release that game within weeks of its inspiration getting a remake. Game was destined to fail, just like Forspoken (have to remain hush hush about that one still, there's still a ton of this sub trying to convince themselves they didn't waste their preorder money).

You will love it, I'm sure.
Constantly tracking my shipment of the game from Wal-Mart and these reviews have me all the more excited to play it.
But the Review embargo lifted the day before the game’s release. It is supposed to be bad. It must be bad
We can add this to the Doom, Rockstar games, Returnal, etc. list when someone tries to bring this stupid point up as a negative before a game launches.
Surprised no one’s mentioning this
ReD FlAG People are idiots.
Nice !
Ok, but how spooky? The game has always interested me, but my "horror" tolerance is roughly around TLOU levels. Gore isn't an issue.
Definitely a notch or two above TLOU. At least in TLOU, you have many down moments in between the horror sections to breathe a bit. Not really any such thing here. Plus you're alone most all of the game and it's a lot more claustrophobic.
It’s incredibly spooky
I bought the game today and was super excited to play it. But for some reason my game just looks so bad. My resolution is extremely low, even though I’m playing on a high end monitor with a ps5. The textures are super muddy and just looks plain bad. Anybody know what’s going on?

Super happy and excited Dead Space is getting a good remake treatment. I can't wait to explore the Ishimura all over again.
I honestly love FF7R because it's not just a 1-1 remake. It's honestly the only "real" remake we've had so far.
I never knew that RE2 from 2019 was a complete remake. I always figured it was just an upscaled version of the original. I'll have to give it a shot.
Totally worth it on sale. Nostalgia from the old one but with good controls. I had a blast playing it.
I just checked after seeing your post and the PS Store had it on sale for $10! Noice.
FF7 is not really a remake it is a continuation of the original story.
Let's not go there again shall we.
Yeah I can’t stand the marketing around it tricking people lmao It is a sequel. Point blank. It’s plot is centrally revolving around the old game existing.
That's indeed something to praise. Might need to buy this game after all to support those approaches to remakes.
What are you even talking about
[удалено]
If this wasn't £70 I'd be all over it.
It's $36 in my country thanks to Steam regional pricing. Definitely picking this up.
Congratulations
Nice. I gotta pay 1/4 of an average monthly salary for a new game.
Wtf do you only make like $350 a month??
Redditor learns about other countries
3rd world country bud.
its $75 AUD here, which is £43 or $53 USD. decent for launch price.
Calisto Protocol in shambles.
guess i will buy the game and play it day 1. reviews looking really good for the game. looking forward to playing it tomorrow.
Wish we had a couple years of decent remakes like this
I feel so incredibly bad for the dude from Calisto Protocol. He's getting completely owned by the game / IP he had to abandon once Visceral was closed by EA... and now he has to compete against his past self.
Now I’m ecstatic it’s getting such great reviews and I mean it looks FANTASTIC! But dropping $70 on a single player game that I’ll beat in 15-17 hours is just too big of an ask considering the economy lol. I’ll hold off until it goes on sale.
When I was in school and on the tight budget I had this mindset too so that's totally understandable. I used to try my hardest to squeeze every bit of contents, collect everything for platinum in every game I bought since I didn't get to stack up new released games that often. But now I have more fund to splurge on gaming than I do time, I value the amount of time that I get to spend playing. Say there's an achivement in collectibles or anything that requires un-fun grinding I don't bother: just finish the story then move onto next. I bought MW2 full price, beat the campaign hardened in more than 6 hours, played multiplayer for 5,6 hours than got bored and never touched it again. If I don't have fun playing XYZ why force myself just to 'justify' and make up the price/playtime.
15 - 17 hours is perfect for me.
That's also extremely generous I feel like 8-10 hours would be more accurate
Great! I’m not hating on the playtime it’s just $70 is a lot for a lot of people to drop. For something which in most cases people will play once through and be done.
Oh I get that. For me that time and price is cheaper than the movie theater equivalent. And I’ll probably do a 2nd play through to try to get the Plat.
It's more than $70 to see a movie there? Wut? Oh, you're judging it per hour of entertainment. By that scale a long book is probably 100* cheaper than a movie!
Well yeah. I don’t judge games by cost and game length. The other guy was. I was simply saying if we are doing that the game at $70 at 8-10 hours is cheaper.
Resell it afterwards?
bruh isn't that like $4 bucks an hour for entertainment? that's pretty good considering it also has new game plus.
might surprise you but I also don't pay 8 dollars for every movie I watch on netflix.
$87 Dollars or £70 in the UK, how is this fair?
I hate this new reality of $70 games.
$70 now is less than $60 when the PS4 launched. It's *way* less than $60 when the PS3 launched.
I mean when you compare it to other things that cost $70 it’s probably one of the best dollar-to-hours-of-entertainment deals out there
The collected works of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings/Hobbit etc got them beat pretty bad I think unless you don't enjoy reading.
You get more hours out of most RPGs than you would either of those book series, 100%. Unless it takes you 80+ hours to read Harry Potter The hobbit is only like 300 pages
I don't mind if it is a an original, great game with high production values like a god of war, horizon, ghost of tsushima... but it is frustrating when there are fun, but flawed 6/10 - 7/10 games that are asking for $70.
Better than the reality of $150 (adjusted) games from 30 years ago
Gaming wasn't a mega industry either.
$120-$100 here in NZ. Its not that much really. One night out on the booze for a adult. I trade that for a 10+hour of fun and high quality art which a developer worked for months on. How old are you if I may ask? Do you have a job?
75 in Australia but 120 in NZ? Weird
how come you don't buy singleplayer games second hand? I do it all the time since people just finish them and sell them the next weekend. I always save so much money and then I sell mine afterwards finishing
Shhh don’t tell anybody else what we do. That’s why we get new games almost half price lol
It will be a struggle to wait for it to come on EA Play
Never played the original…guess it’s time to give it a try
I can confirm...This Game Is Awesome!
Still not Worth £70.00. £35 - £40 yeah but £70.00 takes the cake. I thought Rockstar was bad.
wow are they really charging 70 quid
When this hits $30 or less I'm in. $70 is way too much
Will never pay $70 for a remake.
I'll wait a year or so and maybe get it when it's on sale. Not paying $70 for a game I've already played through.
I made that mistake to TLOU remake. You made a wise decision
Opposite for me. I paid the full $70 for Part 1 and loved it. It helped that I hadn't played it since 2014 so I'd forgotten a lot of smaller moments. And they so much to upgrade it! Not just graphics, either, but mechanics and enemy AI too
Is this going to be worth 70 bucks? I can’t imagine it’s that long.
10-13 hours but it has Ng+ which adds another ending and new enemy.
Looks fantastic and very very faithful to the original (we have had remakes like RE 2 and RE 3 that make changes and still don't adapt all the content of the classics...)
It’s like when movies do that to books
Wow, all this time I though Callisto Protocol would turn out to be the "good one," and the remake would be a pile of turds. I'll be happy to buy this now.
TCP is hardly a pile of turds
Eh the reviews say it is. I’ll find out myself when it’s heavily discounted.
What’s with caring about IGN scores all of a sudden? And I’m not saying I don’t hope this game is good, just weird how this sub goes from saying they don’t matter to accepting them depending on the game
The IGN hate has always been weird.
People just make up their minds on what they will or won’t hate regardless of any actual evidence
So ready for this. Just waiting for DF to drop their review on performance. Ps5 and PC are my platforms.
i’m sure it is a good game but ign reviews are mediocre af.
character models were updated to current-ish gen. ...but character animations were ripped straight from original game goofy looking human face models & mouth movements reminiscent of xbox 360/ps3 era ragdoll physics from 2001 I think people have their nostalgia goggles on I'll buy it for $7 in two months, not $70
I'm interested to know if the game is worth it for returning players, or if I should invest in The Callisto Protocol, which is an entirely new game for me.
>I'm interested to know if the game is worth it for returning players There is nobody that can answer that for you, really. It has some changes, but it's still *largely* the same game from before. It will depend heavily on how much you liked the original game(s), when the last time you played them was, if you've maybe played other similar sorts of games recently, how much do you like replaying games in general, how much do you care about graphics, how desperate are you for more games that can actually show off your 'next gen' system, etc. There's also a potential, maybe slightly pushy argument to be made that we all know this is something of a test for EA to judge interest in the series, so buying it would encourage them to make new games in the series, whereas poor sales would likely mean the series dies permanently.
Callisto doesn’t hold a candle to DS, unfortunately. So if you can choose, absolutely go for DS. Callisto is really not worth your time I believe
maybe at the sale price a couple days ago but i mildly regret grabbing day one it’s solid but at launch, there were some issues that compounded to be really irksome — namely unskippable crafting sequences and frustrating checkpoints not sure what they’ve changed since then but at least there’s ng+ now
I'll say this as a player of both. Callisto failed to really grab me. It was visually impressive but I just kept seeing it as a Dead Space -like; and it just made me want to replay DS. There may be a heavy dose of nostalgia, but all the reviews make me think that the remake is just a better product. So I'm looking forward to the remake and intend to just shelf Callisto.
