@EfYI I tend to think that if the developer has taken the decision to not include all the content in at the time of release then reviewers shouldn't pay attention to the 'roadmap'.
(Perhaps with an exception for something like Cyberpunk where the updated version is essentially a different game to the catastrophic release.)
"We’ve had a lot of fun sprinting between London Euston and Milton Keynes in this rapid rail, and while we’ve encountered very familiar bugs – like signalling issues which have prevented us from completing timetables"
Doesn't this just make it more immersive and true to life?
Played it, completed it, loved it. Really interesting fantasy 18th Century setting, combat deeper than it looks, nice turns from the actors playing Nor and Enki, and hey, there might be a bit of jank, but when it's got this sort of character and heart, and is such good old fashioned fun, who cares?
Surprisingly moving ending, too. Although that last boss can GRTF.
I thought Deacon St John (come on, lads) was one of the worst characters in modern gaming, all that chuntering away to himself was particularly off-putting.

Re: Take-Two Boss Says 'Artificial Intelligence Is an Oxymoron'
AI doesn't actually know anything, it just looks at available sources and comes up with something plausible (which is frequently wrong).
Re: Rocksteady Lining Up New Single Player Batman Game After Suicide Squad Disaster, It's Claimed
I'm not convinced that Rocksteady will exist in twelve months' time, let alone release another Batman game.

Re: Captain Blood Brings Cancelled PS2-Era Pirate Action to PS5, PS4 in May

I'm old enough to remember when they said the same thing after Syndicate.
Re: Mini Review: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (PS5) - Yeah, It's Pretty Good
Played it, completed it, loved it. Really interesting fantasy 18th Century setting, combat deeper than it looks, nice turns from the actors playing Nor and Enki, and hey, there might be a bit of jank, but when it's got this sort of character and heart, and is such good old fashioned fun, who cares?
Surprisingly moving ending, too. Although that last boss can GRTF.
Re: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Sets the Scene in PS5, PS4 Story Trailer
Looks great - if it has even half the style of those trailers it'll be terrific.
Re: Days Gone Team Apologises for 'False Hope' of PS5 Sequel After Misleading Headlines, Comments
I thought Deacon St John (come on, lads) was one of the worst characters in modern gaming, all that chuntering away to himself was particularly off-putting.
Still not as bad as Aiden Pearce, however.
