Unlike most of the other games where people who don’t know what they’re asking for beg for co-op, Dragon’s Dogma at least seems to lend itself to the concept with it’s base systems. This is a trap, something many people who’ve played Dragon’s Dogma Online can probably tell you and something mentioned in at least one review of it but I’m going to explain why: Pawns."
Ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's global release, the first iteration in the series by Capcom has been discounted by 84% on Steam.
Teardown out today, November 15, all other titles available from November 21.
Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.
If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.
It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.
Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.
Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.
Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.
Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.
I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.
Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.
In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.
Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.
hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
Most games where people beg for co-op don't need co-op.
So basically people want Dragon's Dogma Online,.. O wait,.. It exists ,.. and it is awesome
Totally disagree with the authors conclusions and I feel his disdain for co-op in the first place has him gaming with blinders on. The simplest solution is drop in drop out co-op with proper difficulty scaling when another player is present, ala dark souls.
There are zero reasons for the co-op partner to have the ability to interact with the hosts npc's, whatsoever, it's not HIS story, he's just a helper, again, ala dark souls. That eliminates the fear of them somehow "messing up" the hosts game world.
It's irrelevant if they are getting "half" a game when they are just hired muscle in another's world and have their own story back in their dimension. DD is hands down my all time favorite game, with TLOZ right behind it so I'm definitely not tying to ruin it, it's just that I don't believe co-op would.
