Intetim review


So far...
Get rid of the uncanny Valley & wooden Lucy & the emo gurn machine Maximus, then hire a decent writer. As it stands, its a 6 at best (sets & effects are a 10 tho).
Uninteresting characters are severely hurting it.

Oh look, Capcom Europe partially ruining my fun again with their backwards facing 'no playing with pawns from other platforms' bullshart.
Getting sick of this crap now. Its 2024 ffs, sort your segregation shit out.

To say I'm mad with the whole seeker token situation is an understatement. How rhe fk am I supposed to remember the location of the first fkn token I picked up? I have issues with object permanence as it is Capcom Europe

That's finished.
Took 109 hours to reach credits.
A lot were spent in abject frustration at the complete lack of which severely marred my playthrough.
Issues including:
Reaction times,
Visual field,
Light & sound issues.

7/10 at best

70+ hours into & I have come to the conclusion the over abundance of minigames with zero accessibility are absolutely ruining my enjoyment of the game.
With that in mind, the score so far:
6/10
Harsh yes, but that's what happens if I can't play comfortably.

Tried the demo & I gotta say, It seems great, except...
The battle animations have such a low and jarring framerate it physically hurts my eyes. Pisses me off, as I'd pick it up otherwise.

Whoever at designed the piano minigame in needs a stern talking to about accessibility.
As someone with severely limited peripheral vision, i find the minigame is impossible to play.
It definitely needs a few options to help.

I only watched vids on for pure entertainment & not info, but no longer.
When every video starts with multiple unskippable ads, with even more breaking up the video flow, it erodes the 'want' to watch.
So, no more.

I'm done with
Unskipoable, obnoxiously loud, irrelevant adverts on a decidedly mid service that's has consistently cut back on sub benefits. Looking into whether restricting a service then charging more is actually legal in the UK.

Just played the demo by & & I gotta say, it's OK minus one glaring issue that takes it down from an 8/10 to a 5/10. The graphics are lovely, but the character animations are stuck at a vomit inducingly low framerate. Needs fixing ASAP.

Ever since Essex County Council introduced these 'new' multi-bin policies, it has increased the rubbish on the streets triple or more & it now takes 3 days for the refuse collectors to do their jobs when it used to take a day. (Pic: as you can see, the 9 day old pile is bigger than the car)

So lucky that Ubisoft put out a free 8 hour 'demo' of β€―β€―β€―

Literally hard-blocked from playing the game.

2/10

Just got the notification that Prime Video UK & IE is adding adverts, & to stop them I need to add an extra Β£2.99 a month to my sub. My answer? πŸ–•πŸ–•
Cost of living crisis anybody?
Looks like it's finally time to unsub. Unless they sort their sh*t out.

Playing through & absolutely loving it, except I have to play with English VO (disability reasons), & as Kiryu is so horribly miscast that I'm seriously considering switching to Japanese. FFS Kiryu is in his 60s & sounds FAR too young.

on Switch:
5/10 interim
An absolutely abysmal framerate, constsnt hitches & overly long load times remove the fun from an otherwise cozy time-sink 3d Stardew.
