I may give it a shot now. First person is what kept me from trying it out.

@Balaam_ how do you call trophies something that’s being “forced down everyone’s throat” when not a single trophy isn’t optional? Like, they’re literally useless and have not bearing on the actual games.

On topic: I rarely do DLC so it’s nothing to me. I thought about playing Iki Island after finishing Ghost of Tsushima but had so many more games left to play.

@Toot1st agree! Games have nothing memorable about them other than their difficultly.

I’ve not played it and it’s not my cup of tea. But watching my son play it I’d say 8/10. Looks really fun if you’re into that sort of thing.

I intend to pick this one up! Happy for the success!

Got the platinum for Ghost of Tsushima. Amazing game! Great story! Now, on to Echoes of the End. Good so far. Voice acting feels a little wooden though. And, of course, Elder Scrolls Online!

@AstroBottom I think it’s more so that when I do comment about something like that it triggers you. Because most of my comments have nothing do to with what you’re accusing me of. But those comments don’t elicit the same reaction from you. Good day, sir! ✌🏾

@MichaelNau lol I absolutely get it. I wish that stuff didn’t matter to most people. But, it unfortunately does.

@MichaelNau I get that. But Erin Kellyman is a Black woman. The folks who don’t care for Aloy will definitely care about that!

@MichaelNau give folks a new reason to hate Aloy lol.

I’m just here to act like a child and say childish things. Am I fitting in with most of the other comments so far?

Anyway. Sadie Sink would be a good pick for Aloy. Thought when this was supposed to be a series that she’d been attached to it.

Some of you people are so weird. It’s almost like it causes you physical pain to see something you don’t like do well. This is a single player sequel to a bane that did huge numbers during a lockdown pandemic. Even if Ghost of Tsushima didn’t have the pandemic pushing it, it’s likely the sequel would not sell as well as the original.

Yōtei’s already turned a profit after a week’s launch at full price. It’s second on a list behind a Mario game in Japan, and behind a soccer game in the UK. It’ll likely sell 6-8 million lifetime and make maybe 5x its budget. It’s only a “flop” because deeming it as such is your best coping mechanism.

@PerpetualBoredom that’s cool. But making “facts” slang for an opinion is idiotic. I’m literally gonna die from the anger it instills in me.

@EfYI but but but Aloy is fat though! Unplayable!

@PerpetualBoredom I feel like the most annoying thing on the Internet right now, is people typing “straight facts!“ on something that’s clearly an opinion.

For the newcomers, cool. For the veterans, another reason to whine. Good morning PS ✌🏾

@RadioHedgeFund well said! Rise of Skywalker is “Star Wars: As written by Reddit”. Ruined the trilogy. Rian Johnson had a vision and Disney poked him in the eye and told the Internet to throw something together.

While we’re on Sucker Punch, just finished Ghost of Tsushima. This means I’ve finished every game this studio has ever made save for Ghost of Yōtei and Robot on Wheels. I’ve yet to be disappointed. What a game! What an emotional ending!

On topic. I’ve love to see Fetch get a full game in this era of female protagonists. First Light was masterful in its story. Best story of all the Infamous games.

Black Desert couldn’t pull me from ESO. This one might be it. We’ll see…

@Propaperpusher how so, exactly?

@PuppetMaster I can’t find an article that specifies either of those things. That being the case, I’ll assume that it’s sold through in total, and worldwide.

When it comes to fighting games. Street Fighter will always be the most complete and most fun. Mortal Kombat will always have the best story mode and creative deaths. And Tekken will always, just exist.

Also, everyone’s right. The design feels user-generated. The character’s Madagascar ethnicity doesn’t even shine through. You take a look at her and there’s no way anyone would guess she’s supposed to be from there. Can’t believe no one pointed that out when they were designing this character.

@PuppetMaster yeah. It did 1.6 million sell through in week 1. That’s a solid start!

GTA V will never be out of the top 10. Crazy how long that one’s had legs. Yōtei still solid because there’s no way an SP beat an online shooter and a SOCCER (😏) game in the UK.

@PushButtons the thing is, the game could possibly be a 10. But there’s no way it’s a 1. I don’t think it’s a 10. But I definitely know it’s not a 1.

@MrPeanutbutterz I feel the same about Elden Ring. I don’t like it at all. But I can see why others like it. I don’t like games that are stressful as hell and I can’t relax and just take in. After all, I play games to relax and escape the stresses of life. But you’ll never see me call Elden Ring anything less than an 8/10 rated video game. And I give Dragon Age: The Veilguard a 7/10 and I love that game.

I think some people believe that if they don’t like a game it means it a bad game. That’s absolutely not true! Sometimes, a game just isn’t for you. Even then, you can still be neutral when rating it.

The 1s, 2s, and 3s know they’re full of 💩. And I’ve not even played this game yet. Like, if this is a 1, 2, 3, out of 10 game, what do you consider to be “good”?

Ghost of Tsushima and Elder Scrolls Online! Wanna finish Ghost of Tsushima before I purchase Yōtei (which has apparently sold through 1.6 million in its first week ✌🏾). So many great games out right now!

@Jacko11 exactly! The number of people who clamor for old games, then completely ignore them when they’re re-released is immense. While “always online” does kinda suck, today isn’t like how it used to be with limited access to the internet.

@Hapless I still call it Twitter. Hell, I still call the Washington football team by the old name. I am who I am lol.

On topic: Love to see Yōtei doing numbers. Gives me a good laugh at the clowns in the user review section of Metacritic. And that one reviewer at Eurogamer who gave it a 6/10. Really?! A 6! I think that’s close the worst score I’d give a game. I’ve never played anything less than a 5/10.

Patiently, and anxiously waiting! Just hit the 3rd act of Ghost of Tsushima. Going right into Yōtei after it’s over with!

Xbox has never won a generation. Either pull out, or blow it up and start over.

@Ricky-Spanish will do. My 49ers played on Thursday and won. So no stress today. Just playing some Ghost of Tsushima and Netflix and chill with the wife! ✌🏾

@Ricky-Spanish fair point. GG!

@EfYI Forbidden West and Ratchet are both great games! Games like those are what keeps me on PlayStation. I put so much time into them and completed all there is to complete. Enjoy!

@Zuljaras I believe I’ve played a few recently. Flintlock is a great one. So is Inoria. But I think something that’s had a real negative effect on gaming is the rating/review system. Now people wait to see what the “pros” have to say before they try a game.

Remember, Faxanadu didn’t have some reviewer telling you to not play it. You tried it and loved it. That’s how we did it back then. Now, people will anticipate a game, then when it gets a 7/10 they don’t wanna play it anymore. That sucks!

@Zuljaras wow! Faxanadu! I was just telling my wife about how much i love that game! Haven’t played it in 30 years! Such a great game that’s way ahead of its time!

As for me. I’m still in the throes of Ghost of Tsushima. About 67% complete and trying to git’r done so I can move on to Yōtei. And of course, Elder Scrolls Online! ✌🏾

@DennisReynolds for some weird reason there are people who are fans of companies and corporations. Like, some people would call me a Sony fan. I’m no Sony fan! I’m a PlayStation fan! It’s probably the only Sony thing I’ve ever owned.

But some people are Microsoft fans and they saw the acquisition as a good thing because they love the company so much. It’s a weird notion. Like, how can you love a company that sells you everything and gives you nothing free? I don’t know…

@Deadlyblack I guess they just wanted to make money off of COD. Would be crazy see Battlefield take over COD as the chosen online shooter.

Wasn’t only her. Many here in these very threads said this would happen! Hell, this has been one of my main criticisms of GamePass since its inception.

I would be amazed how the same people who’d say “Sony is greed and their greed is anti-consumer!” would also be the ones who’d praise MS for GamePass and MS’s business practices. Shortsighted as if they live in fog as thick as a well-made bowl of pea soup!

I love this gen. But, let’s be honest, prolonging PS4’s lifespan really did hamper this generation of gaming.

Aloy and Atsu is peak! Female protagonists FTW!

Currently playing Ghost of Tsushima and absolutely loving it! Plan to get Yotei soon. Was gonna buy it last night but got Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Echoes of the End for the same price as Yotei. Couldn’t pass that up!

This how ratings go: If you like the game, you praise the high scores. If you don’t like the game, you criticize the reviewer/site and say they have no credibility.

@RainbowGazelle lol. I almost did this! But I thought that it’s too early in the morning.

Do part 2! It’s the better of the series.

@SeaDaVie absolutely! But you had me in the first half, not gon’ lie.

Unfortunately though, there are quite a few serious posts about exactly what you joked about. And not even just that it’s not Jin. Just that it’s a woman in general.

Saw one comment that said it ruins immersion to see a woman dispatch armies of men by herself. I’m like “Yeah. Because it’s so realistic when a man is killing armies of men by himself.” 😆
