Whatever, just wash your hands.
What's up with the description on this one? It feels like the kind of bad translation we'd get back in the days of the original Resident Evil.
Well, GoG helped bringing this to modern systems, they probably did a direct translation of this, found it hilarious and made sure it was left in.

The game feels like it is becoming one of those "too good to be true" games. And im gonna remain skeptical until I get my hands on it.
It instantly was that way for me up until I learned this information which assuaged some of my worries. There was a gamespot hands on vid half a year ago that reported no issues in 40 mins of combat gameplay either with a midgame build.

Still somewhat skeptical, black desert looked amazing in trailer, and then when you play it...

infinite vomit of random currency
button mash gameplay, no rotation or to speak of
tons of content, but very repetitive
and so on

maybe they learned (its not mmo so that should also help).

Black dessert was an mmo so yeah I wouldn’t expect it to play any good. This game looks like medieval dmc.

New .hack after like a decade and honestly... isn't it way too late? Like, mmo are barely a thing anymore, and trapped in mmo story are super overdone due to the isekai explosion.

I loved .hack back in the day. It was like the first dual audio game on ps2 in a dub only era. And they even came with anime ovas. Just because sword art online and other stuff explored that area a ton doesn’t really affect the original. There’s been tons of jrpgs too but when a new dragon quest hits everyone goes bananas despite it being kinda basic. Same principle here.

Update, February 12, 2026: Ubisoft has responded to the strike, saying that 538 staff had reported themselves as being on strike. It also issued a statement.

"Ubisoft's leadership remains committed to maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with employees and employee representatives, in order to support this transformation and to build a stable and clear working framework for everyone."
If you morons were good at your job, the strike wouldn't happen in the first place

.hack//Zero trailer:

They got the original violinist composing here cause that music is instant goosebumps. Apparently this is a reboot so while those may look like Azure Kite, BlackRose and Balmung, they’re new chars.

For years, the gaming storefront Steam has let abuse and bigotry pass through its moderation, according to players and developers who use it. The platform is now host to reams of content that violate its own guidelines.

According to developers who spoke with the Guardian, abuse – particularly directed towards transgender creators – is a fact of life on the platform. “Everyone is at one another’s throats all the time in reviews, discussions, forums, anywhere you can possibly find it on Steam,” says content creator and Steam curator Bri “BlondePizza” Moore. “It ensures no one is safe on the platform; developers and consumers alike.”
I don't even bother with the forums. I just go to steam to down mode and play the game I'm interested in, and that's it. It's still upsetting to hear and that Valve does nothing about this.

This keeps happening because people keep making games that people dont want. Or filling those games with messages that people don't want to hear in their entertainment. Then they complain that people are talking shit about their product.

It isn't the customer's problem that the developers are upset the customer doesn't like their thing. This just happened with Highguard and will continue to happen because the real gaming audience isn't going to change. I hate to say it but this mass shaming campaign and calling gamers toxic is never going to work and only going to double down on gamer's shit-talking your "woke trash" or whatever it is.

There are two ways to fix it.

1. Make better games period. The "wokehate" on a game that is actually very good is minimal (you can never total eliminate criticism and you shouldn't even try). Understanding that everything, even the best of the best things get hate that's just the way it works.

2. Stop slinging message filled propagandized trash video games in the first place.

Oh I guess there is a 3rd thing too.

3. Just ignore it and stop feeding the trolls.


There is a reason why gamers have created groups like this to hunt down and warn people of subpar and message influenced games, and it's simply because people are tried of it. Nobody likes to be preached to, nobody likes having their suspension of disbelief shattered for some obvious "woke-tropes". That's why people are flagging Sweet Baby Inc games, or otherwise labeled things.

And frankly they are the customers, they have the right to express and review negatively the things that they dont like. Articles like this only showcase that groups and comments like that actually work and get under people's skin in an effort to influence the industry to go in different directions.

Not really. Most of them are nazis or alt-right jackasses pulling the grift or fell into the grift. Even when they get the games they want, they still biatch and moans. You clearly haven't learned a thing your time away, and still fall for it, since that's your answer. Try telling people that shit Famiboards. You would already have 10 peoplr poke holes in your argument one minute after you posted it.

Steam never bothers to moderate their actual forums and are too lazy as well. Makes me appreciate, the few forums that are left where the mods actually have backbones and are not afraid to stump on anybody acting out of line, or peddle alt-right shit disguised as something else.

"Every time you make a new game, you don't have to go, 'You know what? Let's not go back to the great character that people love that built this franchise. Let's see him as a little kid, some generic boring little f***ing kid.' It's just insulting to the fans. It's insulting to people who worked on the games that they would think this character right here is what people want. It's crap. It's dumb. It's stupid. I would say avoid this f***ing thing."
You know David, some creators might be a little more supportive of new games being released on the franchise that they created, espeically when the new games aren't a cluster fuck of mess.

I mean FFS, you make it sound like Kratos and Deimos were always these battle-hardened warriors since they were babies. It's true that Spartan boys were raised with harsh discipline, but you can't expect them to not be amateurs and hot-blooded at their age in this game.

This game is a far better representation of what you original games were like; You should feel lucky it's not getting Aassassin's Creed or Dragon Age Veilguard treatment

Fuck David Jaffe. Dude is biatch ass fuck bag, still stuck in his frat boy phase. Pretty much no one takes him seriously nor gives a fuck about him anymore. Other than some grifters, claiming to be old school GoW fans. Even MS doesn't care much for him. And you know, it's sad when you're sometimes on a lower totem pole than them.

David is a dipshit.

I can understand that new Kratos doesn't exactly fit the original vision you had for the character you created, but frankly his comments read as him just being bitter that they made more God of War games (that were fucking better) without him. New Kratos is a deeper character, a more learned character, and a more interesting character that still is technically the same guy but you can see he's learned from his experiences in the previous games.

One thing about the Trilogy remakes i'm going to be sad about is that he'll go back to being a shallow nothing character in very cool but ultimately hallow games.

I stopped taking anything David Jaffe had to say seriously when he claimed that Metroid Dread was a badly designed game.
I stopped taking him seriously pretty much after the PS3 Twisted Metal and and that one other game, he made to strike out on his own, and bombed horribly.
