Would love to jump in upon release. Unfortunately, I’m only 52% complete with Ghost of Tsushima. Maybe I’ll get lucky and there’s a sale once it’s time to buy.
@kmtrain83 the fact that you say "are there news articles" proves that you know that such things as “news articles" exist. It's crazy that you know this and still have no clue about any of these people. Absolutely stunning!
@Styledvinny79 if it weren’t for the new protagonist, tweaked combat, new in-game shops, new weapons styles, new locations, new animal companions, etc. I’d swear it’s exactly the same game! IDENTICAL!!!
I’ve not watched a single trailer or gameplay video for this game. I want everything fresh when I jump in. I don’t even wanna see the title screen before I personally turn the game on.
Ghost of Tsushima and Elder Scrolls Online. Wish I had time to finish Ghost of Tsushima before Yotei releases but I still haven’t even reached the 3rd island.
@PerpetualBoredom it’s awesome! I was playing Ghost of Tsushima yesterday and my wife was trying to block the TV. Can’t block that big ass TV! Which is what I named it in my network. Literally “BIG ASS TV” lol.
@SODGA85 I earned plenty of credit from my ESO+ subscription and playing certain games. The last thing I did with Stars before they ended it was buy Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots. Bought a full game with only credit from doing certain things and credits from a subscription for another game. That’s how rewards are supposed to work!
@Damage99 Heath Leger could’ve been this for Joker had he gotten a chance to do more films. Chadwick Boseman was great as T’Challa but I feel like since he only did 1 film that they should recast the character. I get it though with Jackman though. He did Logan for 2 decades. Hard to change after that.
@Damage99 Here we go again. Poor Liam will replace a beloved actor who’s become synonymous with a character and catch hell for it. Guy can’t catch a break lol.
@SodaPop6548 all these games are indeed coming. You know what will come with them? Comments about how there’s nothing to play this generation and how much these gamers hate video games lol.
I hadn’t played Ghost of Tsushima till I started it about a month ago. Playing it right now actually. It’s an amazing game so far! I’ve not watched a single trailer of Yotei just so it’s all new to me when I start playing it.
Honestly, even if it were a 7/10 I’d still play it because I’ve not had any reason to distrust Sucker Punch. Glad to see it’ll be another great outing.
Perspective is a funny thing, isn’t it? Here, you have some who aren’t impressed by this because it looks too much like Spider-Man. Contrasted by those who are in awe of this because it’s very much not like Spider-Man lol. This is why I seem the term “expert” to be the most useless word in existence. It’s all about perspective.
Never heard of this person. But I’m sure she can “influence” those who follow her to get a PS5. Some people listen to TikTokers more than they listen to their own family.
@Ricky-Spanish nothing really needs gore and nudity. But it adds to the adult nature of things. I’ve never gotten more enjoyment out of a game because it has gore and nudity. But I know I’m not most people.
Remember when we as gamers used to only care about playing games and not overly concerned with a game’s budget? Seems there’s more corporate conversions on the consumer side nowadays. Makes it so hard to talk about games with fellow gamers.
@The_ghostmen I love every game in the series. But I do prefer the old style games. Felt very unique. The cinema that is the newer games is peak. But I miss the speed and all out mayhem of the older games.
I mean, to be honest, Switch’s novelty of being able to port it around is its main draw. As well as Switch 2 is doing, it won’t be Switch 1 because that novelty is no longer new. Just look at Wii and WiiU.
@Oram77 it’s the phones, man! Like, my wife and I walk 2 miles in the morning. We walk past high schoolers waiting for the bus and there’s at least 5 feet between then all and they’re all glued to their phones. They all line in the same neighborhood and I don’t think any of them have ever said a word to each other. That’s a far cry from how I remember the school bus stop in the mornings when I was growing up.
@Vovander this is why Jackie Chan was peak fighting realism in cinema. The choreography had many people attacking him at once and they’d use certain grunts so he knew which direction to dodge. Chan said it’s because he’d always hated seeing fights when 3 guys just stand there while the 4th guy gets his butt kicked by the hero.
@Oram77 I read somewhere that the average song nowadays is 2:21 in length vs. an average of 3:26 to 4:00 back in the 80s and 90s.
Supposedly musicians do this because of the short attention spans of steamers and the fact that a certain number of songs have to be played on a streaming service for it to count as an album sale.
So if the attention spans are shorter, the can finish the album faster with shorter songs and rack up sales. Kinda sad really lol.
Saw a thread a few days ago where one complaint was that this seems like the same old Ghost of Tsushima with nothing new coming to the table. Maybe that person hasn’t watched any of the clips? 🤷🏾♂️
@tameshiyaku Judge is known for the role and would cause the internet to explode if he were the pick. I can't imagine if Yahya got the role.
Funny thing, though. Way back when Dave Jaffe (The guy who created Kratos) was asked who would be his choice for Kratos in a live action film, he chose Djimon Hounsou.
It was funny to see people on the internet, tell the guy who created the character, that he can't have that person play the character because that's not who the character is lol.
Looks interesting. I’m a fan of THQ Nordic so I’ll keep an eye out.
Also, I’ll take this racing game mention to post my obligatory request for a new Midnight Club game! The petition currently has 1 signature. I’m hoping my mom will join up with me soon. 😊
Not every good game sells well. And many games that aren’t so great sell based on popularity alone. To say “If the game is good enough it’ll sell” is a very shortsighted statement.
I have a Pro and a 2TB SSD installed and still only have about 566GB space available. Granted, I only play Elder Scrolls Online and most of the other games are my son’s (even though he has his own console). But losing 175GB is maybe 1 less game you can download in today’s storage environment.
Players: “Sony, you need to focus on making more single player games!”
Sony: “We’re focusing on making more single player games.”
Players: “Not those single player games!”
At this point there’s nothing that can be done to make people happy. I’m a gamer and I can’t think of a single time in gaming where I’ve never enjoyed gaming and have had more to complain about than enjoy. If you’re complaining more than your gaming it’s because you wanna be.

I’m playing Ghost of Tsushima currently and I love it. Looking forward to this one!
Re: In Spain, the PS5 Is Starting to Outsell the Switch 2 Again

Re: Dual Katanas Are Lethally Fast in Ghost of Yotei's Latest PS5 Gameplay Clip
