Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood

[Neo Skimbleshanks]

PS2-ass game apparently. (why is that lobbied as a criticism!) I like the way the wolf looks when he sprints. If stealth is that (you are faster) maybe I'll love it. I will play this one day, but not right now.

Is this the one? I can't tell. Well, I'm reserving this space to talk more about Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood in the future regardless. I don't have PS5 yet, but soon.

Is this PS5-only? I definitely want to play this eventually, but I'm only on PS4. Maybe by the time I actually get a PS5 it'll be cheap!

It’s on the PS4, too! but re: the last sentence, yes, I imagine it will be.

From what I've read, the game sounds like some good quality PS2-style fun (which I'm down for!), but can also get repetitive. I don't mean this as a dig towards the game at all, but I feel like I'd enjoy an experience like that more at $20-30 than at $60. Which I know is an unhealthy attitude to take towards a game you're interested in, but I guess I've been spoiled by a system where the price of most games just plummets not long after release.

For the record, it is! URL checks out as the next in line.

Great news! I have already bought this (used some gift cards) and do intend to play it soon, but I'll be checking out Super Mario 3D World first.

Another reason this game is ideal for me at this time is I'll feel no pressure to update my TV. The only television I have is an outdated 1080P model that I won in a raffle at work. Fine for my current purposes but I'm not sure how much I actually want to spend (if anything) for next-gen graphics. I do think I want to get one that will let me watch Gemini Man in 60 beautiful frames per second... but don't need that now. Have Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood!

Anyway wolf goes fast

I bought it because I'm an absolute mark for Werewolf The Apocalypse (and really any wolf/werewolf content) and honestly your feeling here isn't wrong. A $60 price tag is definitely asking a bit much on this one, I think.

Wolf does go fast tho, yes. I like it. It even manages to do an interesting thing that I'd like to see more of in traditional RPGs, which is that you can interrupt some important conversations by just going Werewolf whenever you feel like and obliterate the room. It falls a little flat narratively cuz as far as I can tell it makes no difference, which is why I'd love to do it in games where it would.

I’ve played a bit and I can say not only does wolf go fast, he can also hop hop hop very high for as long as you want. It’s adorable. I have played just the prologue and so far there has been no purpose to the superwolfish high-jumping, which is what I prefer. Probably won’t last.

Also I chose to restart the prologue because I’m bad at video games and quickly accumulated too much silver damage, probably. Well, you know.

The dialogue wheel is intriguingly weird because you just choose between two flat, unpunctuated statements. Many of the choices just look like ironic Twitter understatements. Feels like home.
