So, you mean to tell me he simply can’t just… PLAY THE GAME before the filming starts? Is that no possible?

@Porco mostly untrue. Not to mention, the circle jerk that the gaming world continues to put forth regarding this. We just had an article asking if there’s a “sequel problem”. Now we have gamers made at new IPs.

As someone said before, there’s a plethora of first AAA party games this gen. Mostly from proven studios. Unfortunately, at this point I think gamers have more fun complaining about games than actual playing them.

Because I am interested in this game, I refuse to watch the video lol. I know this seems counterintuitive, but I like to go into games and films knowing as little as possible beforehand.

The EU market has propped up the PS5 to be equal or just below Switch 2 sales. Japan is lost to Nintendo. I don’t think there’s any way to get it back, or even compete, with a dedicated home console.

The Witcher 3 and Spider-Man 2 still on the list?! 🫶

@sanderson72 disappointed you too, huh? I see it sitting there, but have no desire to play it. Sucks because I was looking forward to it for quite some time. Even spent my final PlayStation Stars cash on it.

I’ve only played 2 games this year that released this year; ARC Raiders and Echoes of the End. That being said, ARC Raiders as GOTY, and Ryn from Echoes of the End as best new character 🤷🏾‍♂️

Gamers get mad at Naughty Dog for taking many years between their high quality games. Then chastise CDPR by saying they’ll not be able to make quality games if they release them too closely to each other. Bruh?!

@UnlimitedSevens YES! The capture the flag trophy was the worst! ✌🏾

If you have time to stare at a background billboard in Fortnite then I think AI deserves to take your job lol. Seriously, if they use AI for this then more power to’em. Let AI do the background crap and keep real artists working on the big stuff.

@Dodoo I choose to only own 1 console. Otherwise I’d play too many games. So, I picked the one that suits me best. Nintendo used to be my thing, the I realized I really only love Zelda games from them. All my other favorites are Sony vehicles.

I like it! GG Stephen!

My first platinum? Midnight Clud: Los Angeles! Fell in love with the series with that game. And then they never gave me another one!

Most recent platinum: Echoes of the End

Currently working on Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

My favorite platinum is The Witcher 3. So much so that I’ve platinum’d (Yes. It’s a verb!) 5 times. Thinking of going for #6.

✌🏾

I love all things Horizon. But hate all things Lego (The games though. I love actual Legos). I’m up in the air on this one.

And now it’s time for an Ahmad anecdote:

I remember when I was such a Nintendo fanboy. So much so that it angered me when everyone was hyping their PS2 and not that excited for GameCube. I intended to get a GameCube but wanted a Dreamcast to hold me over until it’s released. Then my big bro surprised me with a PS2 for Christmas. I’ve never looked back!

I never got the Dreamcast nor the GameCube. Been a PS gamer ever since.

On topic: I knew Switch 2 wouldn’t be as huge as Switch 1. There’s a certain novelty to the thing and it’s not exactly “new” anymore. Not saying Switch 2 won’t do great. I’m sure it will. But it’ll suffer from sequel fatigue like every other Nintendo console.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. This is one game that’s lost points the more I’ve played it. Started as an 8.5/10 for. It’s now a 7/10.

The game itself remains great. But the level design is horrid! It enacts similar “fast travel” to The Witcher 3, wherein you have to get to a point where you can travel from. However, The Witcher 3 has so many signposts that you don’t really feel the pinch.

This is where Banishers fails spectacularly! The campfires are few and far between and makes for the most monotonous experience!

Imagine seeing a treasure, running to what is a 5-minute traipse across the map, while encountering enemies. The enemy encounters make up for the long journey because at least that breaks you from the trek.

Now, imagine that when you get to your destination, you have to run 5 minutes back to the fast travel point, but you’ve already killed the enemies, so it’s just a 5 minute run with nothing but footsteps to keep you engaged.

Anyway, this is one game I really like but would never play again!

@FantasyExplor3r88 2018 was amazing. Ragnarok built on that amazement and delivered a better, more emotional story with great new characters. Both games are arguably 10/10.

@wildcat_kickz Witcher III is my all time favorite video game. That being said, it’s no 10/10.

I’ve only played one of these lol. But I’ve been enjoying the hell out of some 7/10ers thought b

5/15 lol.

I’m just here to play games. The business side of it I couldn’t care less about.

@RoomWithaMoose I get that. But we don’t need it to be that only people who are from a certain culture can create things based on that culture. As long as it’s not created to offend, I think we all should be able to do things like this.

But, I do understand if Japanese people don’t particularly agree with my take. After all, my opinion is just my opinion. It’s not “true”. 😊

I mean, I understand not liking a game. But don’t claim your opinion is “true”. That’s not how opinions work. Anyway, not a big seller in Japan. But it’s doing good elsewhere. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.

Japanese sure love Nintendo. Even a game that’s very much Japanese can fail there if it’s not on a Nintendo console.

I feel like whichever way gaming goes, the larger audience will clamor for the other way.

They don’t want live service, sequels, remakes, prequels, etc. Gamers basically want whatever’s not being made. Then, once that thing is being made, they no longer want it.

Hate when they release these games and don’t include Blade. UNPLAYABLE!!!

@nomither6 BAIT!!! That's bate!

lol the reasoning behind this is sad and hilarious as the same time.

@GamingGod wow! Seeing “dearer” used in this sense brings me back to my beloved Jamaica. 🤣 Thank you for that!

Wish there were some screens that kept my wallpaper up the whole time. Some things I don’t even care to see.

Going after the platinum in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. And getting in some Arc Raiders.

I must say, quitting Elder Scrolls Online after 10 years had been so liberating. I feel like I can play games at my own speed now that I’m doing single player stuff that doesn’t progress without me. Really thought I’d miss it, but I’m thankful that I don’t.

Double loss for MS. Paid all the cash for this just to have it fail spectacularly! But pardon me for not feeling bad for a billion-dollar company.

Really need a good price drop for Astrobot. I wanna play it but price is still too high.

This sounds interesting! So many interesting games coming out!

Let’s just take the win guys. Let’s not make it political. ✌🏾

If it’s as unnecessarily gory and ridiculous as the films it’s a hard pass for me. Never understood the appeal for this franchise. Terrifier neither.

I was almost gonna feel sorry for them. Then I realized I have to work tomorrow and the billion-dollar company that owns this game shelled out $70 billion mostly just to put their name on this flaming pile of pixelized pestilence!

@Krlozgod lol I thought that first sentence would be your answer. But I’m the opposite of you. I love the show and hate the games. I went to a restaurant with my family last week and the had a PS1 at the tables. It reaffirmed my hatred for Twisted Metal games lol.

@Krlozgod which part of this show do you dislike most?

Hated the games but adore the show. Happy it got renewed.

@Logonogo same to you 🎉

I understand the angst when Sony does things like this to existing customers. But imagine if we’d all cancel our service every time a company ticks us off? I know I’d be locked in a dark room with no electricity, no water, etc.

Black Friday is my birthday. Lemme know if you want my email to drop some digit codes 😏 😃

Arc Raiders! ✊🏾

MS has killed COD!!!!

I’ll watch it 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don’t need my mind to be blown in order for me to be entertained.

I downloaded it but haven’t gotten around to actually playing it. From what I’ve seen, I may give it a shot. Not too anxious about it though.

I’m hoping it’s a massive success and the branch it off to PS5.

@Oram77 because 💩ing on Concord is something people will do every chance they get.

@Meowmixes98 this is the only logical reason for backing out.

Well, didn’t think I’d be on ARC Raiders this much this weekend. But alas, here we are… 🤷🏾‍♂️

@ApostateMage as she deserves! 🫅

@Dan12836666 yes! If this game advertised, it would’ve been a hit! Sadly, I don’t think it moved enough units to justify a sequel.
