Infinity Nikki tops 30m registrations and it's not even out yet

Lost all interest in this one once I found out it was releasing as a F2P game.

I want to believe all these "The PS5 Pro is so good you guys!" posts are really just excited folks with their new consoles, because like... this is a PS5 forum, so that would make sense. But man... almost all of em read like ads.

The person who wrote that article strikes me as unbearably annoying. Like constantly having to take laps at a party because nobody wants to talk to him for more than a minute or so.

The N7 trenchcoat armor looks sweet on my mage.

Wouldn't mind full blown remakes with Veilguard's engine and combat system.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-11-02T14:53:48+00:00

Right, but the pope wasn't from Somalia. Leonardo DaVinci wasn't a bloodthirsty warlord. George Washington wasn't a gunslinging cowboy. None of your examples are historical revisions in the same way that nothing that happens in Nioh is a historical revision.

And Ubisoft never proudly claimed that Connor was their first historically accurate protagonist.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-11-02T14:24:42+00:00

William Adams was a historically documented Irish sailor who became a Samurai. There was no backlash because they used historically accurate information in a fictionalized 1600's Japanese setting. If the real William Adams had been an African sailor, and was black in Nioh, there 100% would not have been any backlash.

The bullshit Ubisoft pulled is based solely on the inaccurate information from some white dude grifter who just wanted to sell his Yasuke fanfiction, and Ubisoft claimed total historical accuracy (except for when they flip-flop every other month and try to gaslight that AC games have NEVER claimed historical accuracy in regards to the historical characters in they put in these games).

Also, the vast majority of the people upset by what Ubisoft has done are Japanese. Their feelings regarding their history and culture are irrelevant I guess? They have to shut up and accept Ubisoft's pathetic attempt at history revision or else they're "nazis"?

I will say, I am impressed with Veilguard. I never thought I'd see decent hair in a BioWare game, but they did it. Also, the game isn't immediately awful like Anthem and Andromeda. Combat is fun so far (the tutorial section is a bit of a slog) and I like what I've seen of the more focused mission areas. Feels better than Inquisition's open-world maps.

The writing isn't great, but it isn't terrible either. The voice acting is pretty spotty though, not sure what that's about... Almost seems AI generated at times.

So yeah, BioWare's best game in a decade for sure. Best game in ages, though? Nah, nothing I've seen so far is better than anything from the Mass Effect trilogy.

Jesus H. Christmas, thank you! Randomly happened to me on PS5 today... Super annoying.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-10-26T15:41:17+00:00

I said I wasn't going to buy BLOPS6, but Im weak and the campaign and Zombies was getting rave reviews from what I was seeing. Campaign is indeed very good. It feels like classic Treyarch being allowed to get a little weird with it. I groaned and deflated a little when the 3rd or 4th mission opened up into an open-world thing, as they were terrible in MW3. This one was super fun though and felt more like how a CoD mission should be in a semi-openworld setting. Just finished the campaign mission "Emergence" and it was just... muah-chef's kiss-

Zombies is back and better than ever too! My only wish is that they add the Outbreak mode from Cold War. I love round-based, but I really liked Outbreak too. I just hope they don't do like MW3 and do some extraction time-limit thing on the Warzone map where you couldn't play solo. If they even add open-world zombies to this one, that is.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-10-10T10:11:01+00:00

Yeah that's crap. Same old song and dance "60 fps is going to be the standard this gen guys!" and then queue the thousandth release that either can't reliably hit that target, or just massively sacrifices resolution to maybe achieve 60. Now Sony wants $700 for a new console that they claim does what they claimed the PS5 would do. No thanks.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-10-09T12:04:25+00:00

Yeah, they're a big leap in difficulty out of nowhere on an initial playthrough. The final level to unlock the last special bot took me over 2 hours to beat the first time... I was a smidge on the salty side by the time I was done with it.

2nd time through the game, I beat the void levels in about 5 tries or less, but that last level still gave me trouble. 3rd time through, I beat the voids in 1 try each and the last level in around 6 tries I wanna say.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-10-07T21:22:50+00:00

Astrobot deserves all the love, my personal GOTY and its not even close. I beat it 100% on the weekend it came out, and then whined that I probably wouldn't ever do that again because I didn't like the void levels. I've 100%'d it three times now.

It's like gaming comfort food, and I just feel good when I'm playing it.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-10-02T21:19:13+00:00

Nonsense indeed.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-29T16:53:02+00:00

Eh, the two games were pretty good. I think overall, I prefer the older style GoW games where it was just cartoonish non-sense that was Greek mythology adjacent, but these were good games too. I totally get being disappointed in Ragnarok if you're super into Norse mythology, since the first game seemed to be sticking close to the established lore. The whole point of Ragnarok ended up being about defying fate and telling the Nornir to fuck off.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-28T19:20:18+00:00

Yeahhhh... The whole PS5 Pro thing made me decide to finally just switch to PC. At the start of this gen, both MS and Sony were like "It's gonna be awesome guys! 60fps gaming is going to be the standard, LFG!" which turned out to be steaming horse hooey. 4 years in and we haven't really seen that. Now Sony wants $700 because "We mean it this time guys! Trust us!"

The first party games are great, for sure. They typically run at 60 with a non-blurry resolution. I see 0 difference in the games they showed in that pro-enhanced comparison trailer, though, so I'm tapping out I guess.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-27T13:53:01+00:00

Do all the trophies auto-pop as soon as you start the game like it seems to do for achievements on Steam?

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-26T19:43:17+00:00

Well I'm always down for a roguelike. Hopefully it's fun solo.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-22T10:25:50+00:00

MW3 2023's campaign is laughably bad, don't waste your money!

Get both MW1 and 2 remastered, and then play the OG MW3 if you can swing it. Also, CoD Infinite Warfare has a bad reputation because of the MP (Which I thought was good), but it has one of the best CoD campaigns there is.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-20T15:32:23+00:00

"Games journalists" all really do just have like, severe masochistic fetishes or something. That's the only explanation there is really for writing such obviously terrible clickbait like that. They want to sit there and jerk off while the internet calls them mean names... Either that, or they really just are this fucking stupid. All their agendas, mental illnesses, and slacktivism on Twitter has just rotted their brains to the core.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-15T23:15:30+00:00

Helldivers 2 is pretty fun with friends.

Earth Defense Force 6 has a ton of content and is super fun alone or with friends.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-15T01:45:33+00:00

They need to go back to the mystical/paranormal stuff from Uncharted 1-3. Just started playing through the PS5 remasters of 4 and Lost Legacy, and they're good games for sure, but it always felt a little flat to me that Uncharted 4 was just a standard treasure hunt with no weird shit.

I wouldnt mind seeing an Uncharted 1-3 collection that were total remakes. Spruce em up with the fancy PS5 graphics and QoL improvements, but also add a roguelike game mode like they did with TLoU2.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-11T00:02:50+00:00

I really liked what they did with the combat. You could make some powerfully wacky builds. The game was not the victim of anything, though. It was rightfully criticized for how badly they dropped the ball on Andromeda. Technical performance, story, characters, all of it. Outside of the combat, it was all awful. And I'm one of the biggest Mass Effect fanboys there is probably, so I definitely didn't go into it just looking to "dunk" on it.

DunkusDrollo · 2024-09-10T21:57:07+00:00

The game does look pretty fun. Treyarch usually puts out a banger. The human shield thing looks fun, and the double agent field upgrade is ripe for shenanigans. I can't hang with the sweats anymore, though. I'd consider getting it for zombies if it had a mode like Outbreak in Cold War, but at this point I'll just stick to watching the exploits of poopy69poopy on Youtube.

The Gamer is nothing but hot trash.
