PS5 has been doing well on the sales front. Considering the thing was so hard to get when it was released. That also set back the console sales out the gate.

@Frmknst THIS!!! This is exactly what I say about turn-based games! They’re good for those who don’t have the motor skills for actions games (and that’s not a jab at anyone), but for me they’re just plain boring and the antithesis of gaming.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy I have every trophy but Emperor! Why would they put such a trophy in the game?! It’s one thing to require a player to play PVP to get a trophy. It’s another thing to require a player to be number 1 in the world in PVP to get a trophy. Ridiculous!

I played this game on and off repeatedly in the first year of release. I literally called it “The most boring game I’ve ever played” back then. But in year two, something clicked. I’ve played this game religiously since then. Just got off playing at a few hours ago, and I’ve not been missed many days where I haven’t played it. For maybe the past 7 or 8 years it’s been the top game when I get my Sony recap. Awesome game!

They are! But some, I assume, are good games…

I played this back then and thought it was terrible. Still played the hell out of it though. But can’t see myself doing it again.

Eh. Space doesn’t interest me unless it’s Star Wars. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Looks like a fun game. This game, and the newest Smurfs game, look to be really fun platformers.

Looks like old school fun! Definitely gonna try it out!

@Foxx_64740 I’m a corporate guy. I work for a corporation and know how they talk. When there’s profit, they’ll talk profit. When there’s no profit, they’ll talk revenue. Liken it to how games that underperform from a sales standpoint get their “engagement” numbers quoted and now the sales figures. No one can polish a turd better than a corporate executive!

@Foxx_64740 nothing any of them said is wrong though. Revenue and profit are 2 every different things. If they spend 10 billion on Gamepass and make 5 billion in revenue, do you consider that a win?

Even more proof that Xbox is dead! It’s now basically a machine to own if you’re completely loyal to the brand. Why own it exclusively if you can play the “exclusives” on every other available platform?

No credit is being given because gamers don’t give credit. They only give critique and criticism.

Dislike the games but love the series. Happy to see it be received so well.

@Cry_Zero First of all, I’ve played every single GOW game. Haven’t missed a single iteration. Second, if the show has 10–12 episodes, they can tell his origin story through flashbacks. They don’t need to tell the entire Greek story in the single season. They don’t even have to show that he killed his wife and daughter in the first season. And finally, take it down a notch, man. You’re far too hostile for no apparent reason.

Don’t care to play another Soulslike. But, for those who do. Enjoy ✌🏾

Love the series! Happy to see it succeed. Don’t like where they took it in the DLC, but looking forward to the 3rd installment.

@HaveTheSauce I hear you. Myself, I don’t have much issue with Ellie. I know the actress took a whole lot of heat but the same guys who created the character went with the HBO version. I’ll admit I prefer the game version, but I don’t hate the film version. But there are a few characters I can say the TV version is better than the original game version.

@Cry_Zero can easily work starting from Norse and flashing back to Greek. Wouldn’t be the first (or second, or 28th) time we’ve seen a character develop through flashbacks.

God of War is one of my top 10 gaming series and I’ll reserve judgement until I see this come together. Those who are already passing judgement likely are setting themselves up to dislike it no matter what the final product looks like.

This is right up my alley!

Poetry, my good man! Poetry! GG

Lack of exclusives renders consoles redundant. I hate to see it. I’ll still be gaming on PS regardless. But still…

Elder Scrolls Online and Flintlock: The Siege at Dawn. Flintlock is a good game. But it’s a soulslike in a crowd of soulslikes. I feel like soulslikes need to stop coming out to be honest. Far too niche to ever actually match Souls game. I do like Flintlock though.

Bought a 100" TV last Christmas to go with my PS5 Pro. I'll be damned if I play my games thoroughly on a small screen!

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr how so?

@KillerBoy it really wasn’t a “buggy mess” upon release. It just had some things in the game that people didn’t like (i.e. stealth fails). Really, the only major “fix” they made was removing stealth fails. After that , most who played it enjoyed it.

Me, I didn’t mind the stealth fails. Makes more sense to be sneaking through an imperial facility, get caught, and you fail. Rather than you run for a bit and they guards forget about you.

Also, it puzzles me how people whine about stealth fails but don’t mind the Souls games that almost force you to take the same path after you die if you wanna reclaim your souls.

@wildcat_kickz as a gamer who loves both The Division, and Star Wars. I’ll say, at the moment, I’d much prefer a new Division game over a new Star Wars game.

Shame too. Game really became great after all the fixes. But couldn’t overcome the stigma. Especially from those who’d never played it.

Original Fable, please!

@Ralizah I don’t think Sony fumbled the PS5 launch. Just had the special circumstances to deal with. Also, don’t mention PS6. Not ready to by my 4th PS console within a decade’s time.

@get2sammyb lol yeah. I was kidding. But, if they don’t. That would be equally hilarious as it would be ridiculous.

Just hope there’s no mountain climbing. That wouldn’t fit a Mafia game.

@Toot1st or maybe a Gamepass deal is why he chose to skip Xbox? 🤔

Filthy Phil has destroyed the Xbox brand!

Need a new Division ASAP!

This one is gonna go well. I’ll be back in an hour. Good morning, by the way!

@Balaam_ your obsession with trophies is troubling to say the least. I’m a trophy hunter and I never revisit platinum’d games for trophies. It can drive you mad! Furthermore, I kinda think trophies ruined games for me seeing as how I sometimes avoid games that have a platinum that requires PVP play. I avoided Diablo IV for the longest because of this. It’s almost like an addiction.

After all this time I finally booted it up. Started the game in B&W with original language. When big bad set the guy on fire I was shook! Then I stopped and we back to ESO. But I'll finish this before Yotei for sure.

Finds the perfect actor to play Kano. Casts his as Johnny Cage instead...

Still better casting than Street Fighter though.

@wildcat_kickz I feel the same. This is why I'd prefer the VA say the names, then the AI picks which name to use based on the selected spelling of the character's given name. This way, the actor isn't being left out of a process that they clearly take part in.

@Oram77 this sort of lends to my previous post. What I'd like to see AI do requires AI voice. But it's quite possible. For instance, in the NBA 2K series, the stadium announcer will say the name of your character when you score depending on if actual NBA players already have your first and last name. Couldn't this work in games by having the voice actor say a bunch of common names and the game generate the name based on the spelling?

The only way I'd like to see AI incorporated in my game is to make my generic, created character seem like he/she belongs in the game. No more generic "Arisen" or "Rook". When I name my character, I'd like for that name to be the name the other characters call my character.

Eat 💩 and keep your worthless collectibles! At least I was able to pay for Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots with points I racked up over the past year. They better come with something worthwhile. But I do have my doubts.

lol they big mad! It’s nothing though. Whenever there’s a game or book that proceeds a TV show, the “purists” will always gripe. Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time, Witcher, Reacher, etc. all have to deal with the fandoms.

@nessisonett it's crazy how that name sounds so authentically na... you know.

Anyway. I absolutely loved this game and was able to set aside my feelings for the man who created it. I'd love a sequel and would even run back through the original to brush up.

You ever read some of the comments on here and get the feeling that the person commenting is DEFINITELY one of the people who’d make these kinds of threats?

Some people actually like things to flow this way so it'll work for them. Like, before I was a huge Star Wars fan, I'd not seen any of the films. When I decided to watch them I went in chronological order even though I was told to not do it that way. It was very satisfying because I enjoy things this way. So, to each his own...

Just finished Diablo IV and am in need of a new game to play. I think Ghost of Tsushima will be my next play. This looks amazing and I can't believe I haven't played a PS staple this far along into its life cycle.

@dskatter that really sucks for them, man. How can they possibly live with themselves knowing you've never played their game?! It's gotta be the worst feeling ever!
