I thought we've been stressing about consolidation in the gaming undustry since xbox announced they were buying activision blizzard (& redfall debacle & embracer group imploding & etc.)
Yo Silent Hill 2 is whack yo, Hellblade 2 is way better yo
Funny how when Xbox shuts down a studio, people are outraged but when playstation does it, it's normal.
The Xbox tax is real.
Wow a sponsor in news wave? I don't mind it, it helps you after all, but I didn't expect it.
With the PS5, and PS4 to a lesser extent, I really like when games use the controller speaker. It's used really well in FFVII Rebirth and Stellar Blade. I would use headphones, but it's too cool to see what games use the controller speaker and how they use it. Therefore, I typically play games using my soundbar for audio.
Hellblade II is a solid 8 or 8.5/10 for me. The GameCritic review was just terrible lol that same person gave the original a 90 but gave this one a 45? Sounds very petty to me and that mention of the “Microsoft acquisition” was just odd.
I want to see Kingdom Hearts sales numbers from Epic and Steam in six months.
Kingdoms Heart coming to Steam is wonderful!!!
Most of those outlets already acted like a hive mind, so buying them all seems like a waste of money lol
I started Elden Ring for the first time last month
Why wasn't 2.0 and 2.1 speaker set up in your poll? At least have an option for them combined. It isn't just a matter of TV speakers, soundbar or full surround. Before the speakers died, that is what I used for my PC.
IGN moving towards a monopoly is nothing new. Radio stations are owned by large corporations, as are newspapers, etc. We've seen music stagnate because of low-risk management. That's not to say that IGN will behave that way, but developers will create games they know the media likes.
Thankfully there already is a VR MOD for Hellblade 2. Played the first game in VR and want to play 2 in VR as well.
My take on Hellblade 2 is that it did what a game should. Kept it engaging and immersive while telling an amazing story with an awesome message. Video games are an art form and people tend to forget that very often.
IGN has become so cancerous and now they're looking to spread that cancer…
John, did you know that there is now a YouTube channel called Spawn Cast??? I don't know if you own that name.
What if: Sony's handheld that is current in development will run this new snapdragon chip hence running ps4 games VERY well?
WTF I'm honestly shocked surround sound is the LEAST used sound setup.
I would have thought it was way way way higher up the list.
Headphones should have been the least, not the most.
That's wild.
Hellblade 2 should have been a movie.
Kingdom Heart….always overrated.
IGN your just the BESTEST EVER! Buy them all and then realize no one will watch you still.
SPAWNWAVE OFFERED A MILLION DOLLARS TO BE OWNED BY IGN. DOES HE DO IT?
It's nice to see Kingdom Hearts coming to pc.
As much as hellblades visuals are great, i still have a problem with them. Too much post processing,its not a clean image at all, too much blur, too much grain, too much chromatic abberation, somewhere under there it looks amazing, but its hard to see.
I felt that about god of war. A little bit just walk fight. Cutscene, scripted interactions while looking beautiful.
Thousand year door is one of the funniest games ever created.
Finally got my Mig switch bit not the dumper. I ordwred it after they said it wasn't included. Thwy really cheaped out on packaging. So glad $70 got me a tiny box with with alil paper around the main box. I was really goping roday was my BG3 physical copy of the game. Its coming this month they said and when I got a email about a package coming i was really goping for that. I still not sire if ill open it or leave it sealed. This is first game ive ever double dipped on.
It’s crazy to me how a remake of a 20 year old Gamecube game (paper mario) is getting better reviews than a state of the art current gen game (hellblade 2)
It reminds me how Metroid Prime remake was reviewed better than RE4 remake. Gamecube sure was and still is a beast of a console
Graphics dont make a game spawn. All you do is puzzels and small fights that you can hit any button and win. Plus the game is all walking and its not even 1hr per year they worked on the game. How can it get over 80s? Thats luck and people sucking xbox cock. Its a tech demo thats it. Game has me so excited for indiana Jones. This will be another crappy game. Why couldn't hellblade 2 be simular to GOW Rangnarock? Thats the tyep of game it need to be not a craztly woman just walking.
Hellblade 2 is quite a feat graphically. It's gorgeous! The gameplay… well, if you didn't like the first game, you won't like this one. I think a 75-82 score would be accurate. If it were based on graphics alone, it would be a 100.
I purchased Paper Mario Thousand Year Door 20 years ago on GameCube only to have it on my backlog this whole time. Tomorrow I purchase it again on the Switch but I have vowed to play it and complete it. 😅
Ign is a racist company. They totally ruined humble bundle and I expect the other places to follow suit now. What awful news
Of course spawn wave owns surround sound. This guy owns nearly everything
hellblade😴
Hi I hope you feature this comment.
Sold my xbox 3 days ago because of their treatment of tango games and… well just people in general. Should have sold it when they fumbled halo infinite.
Unfazed by hellblade 2s release, congrats to the devs
Digital PCM 2.0 stereo through a receiver and speakers. I hate TV speakers and I think Soundbars are dumb. But in online multiplayer yeah headphones with virtual 7.1 surround for sure.
It sounds like Ninja Theory is the next studio on the chopping block for Microsoft. Taking this long to come out, with this kind of critique on the game. I do hope they will still make a decent profit when the cost and revenue come in. But how do you do that for something that goes to Game Pass on day one?
Kingdom Hearts titles coming to PC, but STILL 358/2 days has NEVER gotten a re-release.
Hellblade 2 sounds more like a tech demo, like The Order: 1886.
PlayStation makes a narrative game with booty cheeks gameplay – 10/10 one of the greatest games ever.
Xbox does the same – 5/10 no game here.
The Xbox tax is real
So hellblade 2 should've been dlc?
I’ve noticed the almost all turn based games coming out within last 20 years are doing rather well with recent games like star ocean and paper Mario being latest ones. It seems that a lot of players are just rather tired of this action game trend already that’s made basically every game kinda feel and run like a hack and slash whatever is in front of you with lil to no strategy require that’s been cheapened even further with micro transactions at the ready to help you basically overcome anything for a small fee. I honestly really think we need to move back to more strategy and turn based combat system in games to bring back that feeling and immersion of having to figure out how to clear areas with puzzles and find enemy weakness that made the gaming experience what it used to be. Now you rarely hear anyone get stuck in a game puzzle or boss and if they do most the time they either drop the game for something else and never go back to it due to poor attention spans or lack of interest or at best look up a YouTube guide. I think this is why hell divers 2 has done so well it does strategy and combat in a way a lot of games really don’t.
Jon playing the Steam Deck using the Viture glasses should be a meme.
You have to experience 5.1 surround sound in GTAV, it's one of the best games for true 5.1.. headphones can't compare.
The offer excludes the glasses 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When are they picking up Spawncastnetwork? 😝
I hope IGN doesn’t layoff anyone from Nintendo Life or the sister sites. I love those sites to be honest. Also about these next gen systems, I don’t even care at this point other than what Nintendo has to offer. Both PS5 and Xbox series have been letdowns in my opinion. They haven’t even earned their keep and next gen systems are the big talking point. Make them worth having first, or I think many people will just wait on these systems.
