@Rhaoulos they ass’d it. It was in there when I played. 😏

@PuppetMaster Say it again for the people in the nosebleeds!!! I’ll never understand how people who hate any game can put so much energy into tryout to get those who like the game to also hate it, or get new haters to join them.

I’ve never played a game I’ve hated. Or even gone on a hate crusade. I just drop it (Elden Ring) and move on to something I like. Gamers are weird, man!

@Fluberuper lol I also love Spiders. And liked Technomancer. I think their first game that pulled me into their games is Bound By Flame. 13 years ago, that one.

Edit: As I googled Bound By Flame I realized it was also a 6/10 or 7/10 rated game. Knowing this, I might just give Greedfall 2 shot.

Damn. I just loaded up the first game to give it a go before this one. Kinda sucks to hear this. Reminds me of how excited I was for Elex. Then I played Elex…

@DualWielding most of Bluepoint still work for Sony so… 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Fiendish-Beaver steaming to Portal makes Premium worth it. Like, it’s been great playing Absolum at home, the continuing on the road. But that’s really the only advantage.

@Divergent95 moved into my top 10 for sure. Aside from the limited enemy variation and lack of true fast travel, I can’t think of any other flaws. Great characters, character design, and some of the best voice work I’ve ever heard in a game.

@Divergent95 Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Love seeing it get mentions from other gamers!

@LogicStrikesAgain I honestly don’t get why so many seem to complain about what’s out there. This, to me, has been the best generation of gaming. There’s no genre of games that doesn’t have top notch titles to play.

I’d probably back it if it weren’t God of War. Just doesn’t fit in with that world.

The last 5 games I’ve played are smaller games. Double Dragon: Gaiden, SCARS Above, Absolum, TMNT: Splintered W, and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Better small games are out there.

@Paramahansa I mean. It seems many of those “hard pass” people have never even played the game.

Absolum! What a game! Can’t believe I’ve waited so long to get it! Almost done since I’ve been off work the last 2 days. Would call it the best roguelike I’ve ever played.

@DualWielding Bluepoint has already had the funeral. Now, other people have to go back to work. Including the folks who worked for Bluepoint who now work elsewhere. Bluepoint closure is manufactured outrage.

Looks good. Except for the enemies just standing there while you fight one. Maybe set to easy?

Wait? Doesn’t a PC already play PC and Xbox games? This thing is already redundant.

@themightyant you’re correct about this. And it’s a complaint that many have about the game. Almost feels like the devs didn’t intend to do it, but it was a launch game and they weren’t finished with some combat points.

@Propaperpusher game is hard for no reason lol. But not hard to the point of frustration like Souls games.

@iNightfarer this is the most logical reference to “resources” I’ve seen on this site! Maybe their plan was to release those games multi platforms so they wouldn’t have to release so many games. But now, the backtracking on that they can just maybe start releasing many first party games again.

Is there a sign up sheet for people who have no interest in a game but hope with everything in their heart for the game to fail? Because I wanna join this group! They just seem so miserable and things are going so well for me right now that I need something to bring me down.

Wake up in thr morning, turn on my console, scroll to what I wanna play and have at it. Then finish the session, upload data, and continue away from home on my Portal. Yeah, physical is definitely the way to go… 😒

OK. I’m usually one of the contrarians here. Always speaking for the industry trying to find the next big thing. But at this point just stop with the chase for next Overwatch/Fortnite/Marvel Rivals. I feel like people are not wanting to play these games as a for of rebellion against the craze.

@Shinnok789 let it die! No one cared about them when they were alive. Now that they’re dead they’re the best thing ever. 🙄

@Balaam_ I mean, are the F bombs in this setting what lead you to question the realism and accuracy? Not the superhuman grandpa, mystical elves, or sentient disembodied head?

@nomither6 definitely full of hacks. How else did they make those duds that they released in the past 6 years? Right?

@nessisonett lol the best thing I’ve seen about He-Man was some guy mad that the upcoming film referred to a character using pronouns and the guy online say He-Man doesn’t use pronouns. Really?! 🤣

Yup. This is a must for me! Crazy addicted to retro brawlers right now!

Shout out to @get2sammyb for putting me on Double Dragon Gaiden. Having fun with it solo. Also playing SCARS Above. 5/10 game but mostly because it’s very limited. Just doesn’t have much behind the story and what you can do. Gameplay is great though.

Also, I got Split Fiction for Valentines Day from my wife. Started it with my son now that fool is never home to play with me.

On eBay I just sold some old TV legs I found in my shed. Got my Absolum money lol.

There hasn’t been a single Sony primary single player game I’ve not been able to play because it went to PC. Because that’s not how it works, right? Anyway. As long as I can Sony games on a Sony console I’m good.

Bluepoint.

Now that that’s out of the way. Excited for this. Love the series and the dev. I think PSSR has done well for what it’s been. But they’re not using it enough to justify the Pro. Even though I have one and love it.

Bluepoint never mattered until it gave gamers something new to fein outrage over.

So everyone’s just gonna keep trolling the Bluepoint thing on every post about more important devs? Um, OK…

Casting has been damn top notch! Great pick! Hope this turns out great. The usual things that get folks griping seem to be ignored so far.

You all are really burnt off the Bluepoint thing, huh? Put it this way. They did remakes and you all hate remakes. So now maybe there won’t be too many remakes. Quick! Tell me what Bluepoint was working on when they closed?

Anyway. Looking forward to this one. I loved the Miles and Spider-Man games but I’m expecting more maniacal carnage from Wolverine. Bring it on!

Man! Was hoping for an updated version. Still, I may give this a go. Have always loved these top-down jet fighter games.

Yay! I guess… 🤷🏾‍♂️

Game never mattered to me so I feel neither gloom nor glee from its demise.

@get2sammyb so far, so good. Best thìng is that it’s streamable on Portal. Nice little lunch break game.

They gradually ruined this series. Became a literal (and I mean “literal” literally) parody of itself.

After Streets of Rage, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, and TMNT: Splintered Fate, I’ve been kind of addicted to these types of games. I’ll definitely check this one out!

Edit: Currently on sale for 75% off. $6.24! SOLD!!!

@UltimateOtaku91 Phil retired the day after Jaffe’s hypothetical phone call lol.

Still running through Astro Bot with the wife. Went back to Division for a bit just to get the platinum. Got it. Then went on and platinum’d Division 2. Remembered how much I love the series.

@PuppetMaster you’d think with all the noise about remasters that people wouldn’t mind a studio that specializes in them being gone by the wayside.

@Frmknst EXACTLY!!! Bluepoint shutdown isn’t some huge loss as people are trying to make it. Lose Santa Monica and then we can panic.

I… don’t care? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m sorry. I’ve just never concerned myself with this part of the industry. There are so many great studios out there. Many better than Bluepoint. Move the talent from this studio to another, and have them continue the good work.

Honestly, in my many years on this site, I’ve never read the sentence “Bluepoint is an amazing studio!” Now all of a sudden the closure is this pearl-clutching incident that garners 300 comments.

@guacguacboo every game should have one. Imagine how many great games that go by the wayside (looking at you Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden) likely would’ve benefited if the skeptics were able to play a bit before they made up their mind.

@luisterr performance mode is always the best way to play! Games still look gorgeous and it’s hard to tell the difference visually. But play in resolution mode and it’s easy to distinguish the difference in frame rate.

@PuppetMaster nostalgia keeps Nintendo in people’s good graces. Nintendo is so anti-consumer but because we remember how much they meant to us when we were kids, they always get a pass.

Imagine if Sony or MS would never drop thr prices of their games? 7 year old games at full price! Underpowered hardware that’s 5 years behind the times. So much of what Nintendo gets away with, the other 2 are chastised for. I guess Nintendo is too cute to be mad at.

@get2sammyb I agree wholeheartedly! I really don’t understand how anyone can not have anything to play this generation. Heck, I made resolution this year to not buy any game over $30 and I’ve played some gems from PS+ alone. I think the fact that people are generally unhappy all around leads to the feelings of jadedness with gaming and many other things.

Love the Norse series but adore the original trilogy. Please don’t change anything! Greek games had their own identity. Kinda became the “God of War genre” (see Donté’s Inferno). Newer games are making games. But the originals are standouts.

@shoeses I bet you already have your 1/10 Metacritic review typed up, huh?
