Pretty fun & funny game. DS5 enhancements will make stabbing bad guys feel so good.

Profchaos291d ago

Tried to get into it but couldn't play more than an hour before the humor got old.

Christopher291d ago

Exactly. Can't begrudge people for enjoying what they enjoy, but much like R&M, it got old fast and felt very repetitive in concept and setup.

CobraKai291d ago

Same. My son liked it, it had its moments, but i spent more time watching clips of Tammy and the Trex than play the game.

Markdn291d ago

I didn't find anything funny about it and was a bore fest.

Amplitude291d ago

Profchaos: Id quote the high enough IQ meme here but I think it's too old at this point

So the publisher wasn't confident this game could sell a la carte when it launched half a year ago (steam charts show they were right to think this), but they think I'm going to want to pay retail price to play the game later? No thanks. Plus I mean, Rick and Morty humor is basically Marvel humor that people think is more sophisticated because they curse more, so no need for that.

ocelot07291d ago

Played on my steam deck via gamepass xcloud. Didn't finish it so I may get this when it's cheap.

Amplitude291d ago (Edited 291d ago )

Steamcharts are pretty extremely meaningless for games that are on GamePass tbh.
That's like looking at physical disc sales for the Series consoles. As much as i buy all my games on Steam and buy all my PS5 games physical, i'm well aware the VAST majority of people that played High On Life would have played on Gamepass

JEECE290d ago

For a game that only launches on PC and Xbox and is on Gamepass at launch, steam charts are the only method we have of seeing who was interested enough in the game to pay for it. Steam users are the only group who has to buy the game to play it, so those are the only meaningful numbers we have.

Amplitude290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

yeah my point is, if there's 10 people that bought the game on Steam there could still be 7 million that played it on Gamepass. Without the Gamepass numbers, there's no meaningful numbers to look at. It's a meaningless number whether its 1,000 people, 10,000 people, or 100,000 people - literally does not matter.

I'd assume anybody that wanted to play this and doesn't have Gamepass would just subscribe for a month, play it and cancel for 1/4 the price.

JEECE290d ago

The Gamepass numbers are meaningless for determining who was interested enough in the game to pay retail price. I don't care how many people played a game on Gamepass , because all that tells me is that people who already had a subscription were interested enough to start the game one time. Regardless of how high or low that number is, it tells me nothing about how many people were willing to pay retail price for the game.

Of the places this game launched, Steam is the only place where everyone who played the game on that platform actually bought it (ignoring smaller stores like EGS). So if I want to know who was interested enough in the game to pay for it, Steam users are the only relevant group.

I might check it out in the bargain bin.

High On Life PS5 and Xbox Series limited print physical editions announced

Squanch Games will open pre-orders for physical standard and Collector’s editions of High On Life for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on February 27 via Limited Run Games and IGN Store, the developer announced. Pre-orders will close on March 31.

ravens5274d ago

I guess it's better than no physical at all. I was using LR when they first started. I have Oddworld New and Tasty, Octodad, Shadow Complex etc. I fell off at some point and just felt I couldn't continue so I stopped. I just would much rather be able to purchase these games off Amazon.

LoveSpuds74d ago

I used to give into fomo a lot in the early days but I am much more choosy these days. I did play this on Gamepass back in the day and had a good time with it, so I have pre-ordered a copy as I'd like to Plat this on my PS5.

jznrpg74d ago

These aren’t super limited prints so whoever preorders will get one.

BrainSyphoned74d ago

Does it come with the layer of dust this game deserves or do you have to work at it?

High On Life's DLC Hilariously Mocks God Of War Ragnarok's Puzzle Spoilers

The recently released High on Life DLC, High on Knife, takes a jab at God of War Ragnarok's puzzle-spoiling mechanic that irked many players.

ravens52212d ago

Lol. I always got em before he said anything anyway lol

Seth_hun212d ago

How? Because boy spoiling the puzzle before you even see it :D

MrNinosan212d ago

Same, wasn't there a setting for how quickly Atreus would spoil shit 😏

JEECE212d ago

Yeah I heard a lot about this before I played, and then it almost never affected me when I played the game (the few times it did were with bird form Freya).

Honestly it makes me wonder if a bunch of people are just really terrible at puzzles and took forever to do them and got hints. It's either that or they patched the game to slow down the hints (I played about 5 months after launch).

H9212d ago

Couldn't get more accurate tho

GoodGuy09212d ago

I like GOW puzzles but honestly I felt there was way too much in Ragnarok.

LoveSpuds212d ago

Perhaps another dev will include content in their game mocking devs who devalue their work by giving their games away on streaming services and then expecting to be able to charge full price for it a year later?

PhillyDonJawn212d ago

That doesn't devalue their work. They get paid regardless. How you wanna spend to play is up to the consumer

LoveSpuds212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

Getting paid my MS still devalued their work squire. Rightly or wrongly, when they announced the PS5 version of the game, I didn't give two hoots. It was an old game by the time it came, all the buzz had gone and I knew it was free elsewhere; there was no chance I was paying full price for that
now old game, it wasn't worth it in my view.

Even in articles that have absolutely nothing to do with GamePass, someone will inevitably bring it up.

Welcome to N4G.

Rgbsquad212d ago

Yeah I cringed when I read his comment. Like fr

It's just a lighthearted joke. Don't take it so seriously.

Sad when other developers put more effort into Mocking a flaw than Santa Monica does into fixing it

Christopher212d ago

Literally a setting in Ragnarok to turn it off/lessen how often it happens.

Juvia212d ago

Yes
There is

All you are doing is showing that you never played it. What a fool.

jambola212d ago

Then tell me where
and if you're saying that, you're saying the same about the actual developers too

Christopher211d ago

Nah, jambola is correct and I was misremembering the setting. It was Time Delay for puzzles, not hint delay.

That monster in the screenshot looks like something out of the Dinosaurs TV Series (the puppets).

beerhound219d ago

Oh, jeez, I remember that show. It was like a bad Robot Chicken parody of Family Guy.
