As expected the Gamepass model just wasn't sustainable unless they jacked up the price considerably. This is after they already jacked up the price. Absolute garbage and I hate how they deceptively tried to frame it as getting more value. This is a greedy price hike through and through, nobody should be defending this.

I always like the idea of Dynasty Warriors games but actually playing them quickly turns into a repetitive slog for me.

AHAHAHA so this is what esports was hoping to become. I'm so happy that it never took off, what garbage! 😂

When the games industry continues to deliver garbage wrapped up in a mega monetization package, it's nice to be able to go back and play things from a simpler time. I don't really care if they're copying someone's homework, especially when said person they are copying "graduated" into making nearly nothing but action rpgs.

The industry is in the pocket of a couple oil barons. Color me surprised.

Chinese developers continue to prove that they're incredibly talented. Even if you can accuse them of "stealing ideas" it takes actual talent to stitch everything together in a cohesive and entertaining way.

I'd give it an ok to good. I do acknowledge that I just don't typically play the big mainstream games anymore, so these presentations usually have limited appeal for me.

Good to see I got a swift answer to my question yesterday. 😂

But yeah, it would have been stupid to lock entire gameplay features behind characters you then need to pull for, so I'm glad there is no Gacha and everything is on cosmetics which I can easily ignore.

Didn't really think much of it at first but it seems to be taking mechanics from other games and recreating them very competently. I still don't fully understand what this game IS though. Is it really a Gacha? Will each character have, like, a different profession and thus a different storyline? If this is the case I really hope they make each character free and monetize with the cosmetics because I don't want to miss out on any gameplay just become I don't want to pull for a character.

Wow, there's someone who actually thinks PC and Console are on a level playing field. You say I have poor skill but if you're not wiping out the console players then you might be the one with the skill issue...

Play with the PC crowd who seem incapable of not installing cheats and aimbots? No thanks.

Not every online game has to receive content updates until we die. Fall guys just seems to have run its course, no shame in that.

Ugh RPG elements like the new games? Hard pass. I guess the original will remain the definitive version.

I'm fine with physical going the way of the dodo. It's time. People keep saying that if you own the game you can keep it forever but then we have companies like Ubisoft that can shut a game off entirely if they want, so ultimately it doesn't really matter if you have the disc or not. It's a losing battle and not one I particularly want to fight. What I DO want to fight is companies like Ubisoft that are able to kill games like that in the first place.

As much gameplay as the original? But the original was already hours of content!

I thought F.I.S.T was pretty good, if a bit janky. Same with The Plucky Squire. I think I'll try Road 96 next and probably finish up with Night in the woods if I still have time. Abiotic Factor took so much of my time recently but I don't regret a second of playing that game.

Will be fun to play through when It eventually releases on premium.

Stop. Preordering. Games.

I hate when big names are the only thing that sell movies and TV shows. Give new people a chance to shine, they need an opportunity.

It looks like a skillful blend of Hitman (with some improvements!) and Uncharted. I just hope that the entire game is crafted like that and not just what they've shown us. These developers have given me no reason to doubt them yet.

People are complaining why this was done and I'm just wondering why it wasn't like that in the first place? Different character anatomies seems like a fundamental thing to focus on during development.

I own Stardew on like 3 other devices so the interest isn't there for me. Viewfinder looks like it'll be a short experience (not always a bad thing) and Psychonauts 2? Sure I'll get to that eventually. The first one was pretty good, though I played that one years ago and don't know how well the sequel compares. Overall a pretty bland selection to me. This is offset by the recent extra offerings which had a lot I'm interested in playing.

With the way the Gacha system is implemented in this particular game it just makes me even more skeptical. No 50/50? I just can't fathom how they expect to make money? Selling skins or cosmetics?

Or maybe they don't NEED to make a billion dollars like every other Gacha? A novel concept!

With bigger salaries should come bigger risks. Hermen has, in my eyes, screwed up the last 2 or 3 years at PlayStation...and yet he suffers no consequences or penalties?

At this point I feel like CEO is basically "scapegoat who has to apologize for us so none of us who are actually in charge have to deal with it." What a joke.

Hey it's trying to provide an authentic experience, poor framerates and all.

@IceClimbersMain
Abiotic Factor is amazing, if you like survival crafting games.

@LazyDaisy
Turning into? I guess you didn't play the DS Resident Evil where you could literally tap her chest or butt and she'd react.

@Frmknst
What exactly makes it like CoD? Please don't say TTK because there are clips out there of BF4 having the same kill times with the same weapons as BF6. People just need to relearn not to run out like headless chickens trying to be Rambo like CoD rewards.

Battlefront 2 had a great beta, then the game actually launched...

Considering the source material I'm surprised we're not seeing MK levels of gore.

I believe I have over 300 games that have been given to me for "free" by PlayStation. If I decided to quit buying games and only paid for essential every year I'd have an enormous backlog to get through, even if I only play around 40% of them.

This is what all you prudes begged for. Take away the porn! Let them all touch grass!

Except what you don't realize is that it won't stop there. There's already a few games that handle mature and dark themes that are being forcefully delisted and removed from places like Itch. So yeah, once they take away your delicious murder gore games too will you still be cheering? It will be too late by then. You shot yourselves in the foot with this one.

I mean, I know WHY it's getting so many pre-orders but maybe this will be the wake-up call Capcom needs to bring back Dino Crisis proper

Replace the CEO with AI. At least when an AI inevitably has to apologize it will feel more human.

The community is incredibly toxic. Even though they can't say what they would in an old Call of Duty lobby, they're still incredibly rude and take the game WAY too seriously.

I'm currently playing through the game and I don't see what the hype is all about. I have friends that keep going back to do more playthroughs but as I'm playing I'm feeling the experience kinda...meh. Like, I love the aesthetic but then you see like the same 6 NPCs with their weird ass walk cycles and then even the immersion breaks. I don't really enjoy the combat, I don't enjoy the stealth, I don't enjoy the driving and while I do think the characters are at least passable, this game really doesn't do anything special in any regard. I really wanted to like this game but I'm kinda happy that I held out until it was released on Extra.

My patience with Cyberpunk has been rewarded. Though they might get me with the DLC.

I'm surprised this show keeps going and I'm even more surprised Sony hasn't cashed in on it with another game.

What an absolute trainwreck. Microsoft is actually BAD for the industry. Not "for the gamers" at all. That lying Scumbag Phil Spencer should resign.

When lives are destroyed and companies shuttered, never forget that nothing bad ever happens to CEOs. If they do have to leave, they get a nice massive bonus that could have fed multiple employees that were let go. What a garbage system.

@Anthony_Daniels
I dunno man, if you check out interviews with him it seems like that's exactly the way he wanted it to go. If anything, he probably had a bit TOO much input on the show.

Maybe if Microsoft hadn't wasted all that cash on buying up studios and instead had invested in their already owned properties things might have been different.

I'm ready for a very productive discussion about this game and the people who play them.

Seregios was pretty easy even tempered but man Lagi took around 20 minutes to hunt. These new monsters have all been very fun to hunt. Who would have known having patience would pay off?

If you only want to play the newest first party games you probably hate PlayStation subscription. If you are fine with a mix of indie and older AA/AAA games you probably really enjoy the value you get from the service.

I honestly do not care about AI. It has become too ingrained in our lives that if you try to fight it, you're putting up a futile battle. It's here, it's staying, you gotta accept it.

Let's say you really enjoyed the Alters. Perhaps it's one of your favorite games this year. Would finding out that it had some AI work in it retroactively take away your enjoyment of the game?

Remember to crack open those PS5 's from time to time! Sony has made it easier than ever to get to the parts that might get dirty so you don't have to worry about damaging your PS5 to get the fans clean.

I mainly use the wishlist to track DLC. Since there are so many it really fills the list up quickly.
