I've been saying this for years. But most seem to be deluded when it comes to AI and how it's going to take millions of jobs away from real people. It always gets defended on this site. I work in the automotive industry and it's been encroaching on my workspace for years. When companies start using AI to write a dumb game review maybe then people will care.
@themightyant look where we was at this point in the PS4's lifetime. They've wasted so much time and money making live service games that no one wants and then cancelled the majority of them. Thank God for third and second party or it really would be a quiet generation.
@HonestHick Hahahaha. They completely wasted this gen on developing live service games which they then cancelled. Thank God for third party or it really would be barren.
EA thought they had a banger on their hands. They had a false sense that it was good because of all the dodgy reviews. Reviews that could only have been written by people who had never played a DA game before.
The golden age of piracy is my specialist subject. So hyped for this. If I had my way they'd lean heavy into the pirate and lean away from the assassin. As for Shadows, I couldn't be less interested if I tried.
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy That's what I was thinking. Barely have enough time for single player games. Getting more with the portal but wouldn't want play this on that. But my sons are hyped for it.

Re: Wholesome PS5 Hobbit Game Tales of the Shire Details Shared Meals Gameplay
Yeah that looks well cute. Anything Pirates, Ancient Egypt or LotR related and I'm in. Not including the terrible amazon show.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Now Surpasses 2 Million Players in Two Days
@naruball well if a show is good one tends to want to watch it. If it's bad one gives up.
Re: PS5 Pro System Seller Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Get a Big Upgrade
System seller hahahahahaha. You crack me up sometimes.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Now Surpasses 2 Million Players in Two Days
@naruball You know it's bad when disney report it as minutes watched. By the time it reached the finale it had a 67% drop off according to nielson.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Now Surpasses 2 Million Players in Two Days
@naruball Tanked or not, it was so so bad. Disney just destroy. Look at Snow White. That is in the process of sinking faster than the titanic.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Now Surpasses 2 Million Players in Two Days
Players are a lot different than sales.
Re: Upcoming PS Plus Extra Game FBC: Firebreak Out for PS5 This Summer
I was in as soon as they announced it.
Re: Atomfall (PS5) - British Charm Elevates Riveting Mystery
@dschons Mine too.
Re: Atomfall (PS5) - British Charm Elevates Riveting Mystery
@Jrs1 It apparently has seven different endings. So maybe that will entice you to replay it.
Re: Atomfall (PS5) - British Charm Elevates Riveting Mystery
Looking forward to this.
Re: Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Wins GDC Social Impact Award, But Everyone Got Laid Off
@OmegaStriver Duck Duck Go. Zero ads.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Romance Misinformation Hits New Low on Social Media
@B0udoir either way it's not the game that's going to save ubisoft. Not by a long shot.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Romance Misinformation Hits New Low on Social Media
@SleepyNick Typical games journalist nonsense.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Romance Misinformation Hits New Low on Social Media
@B0udoir Yeah. We'll have to wait for the uk sales charts to try and figure out the true number. With less than 40k on Steam it's not looking good.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Shadows?
Played most of them. This one isn't for me. I'm waiting for the Black Flag remake.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Romance Misinformation Hits New Low on Social Media
It's doing pretty bad on steam. Vox populi vox dei.
Re: Horizon Dev Promises It Isn't Trying to Replace Aloy Actress with AI
@HotGoomba Get more sense in the comments than you will in the articles.

Re: Kojima Said Death Stranding 2 Actor Would Be the Spitting Image of Solid Snake in a Bandana, So He Made It Happen
@Oram77 hahahaha 💀
Re: Kojima Said Death Stranding 2 Actor Would Be the Spitting Image of Solid Snake in a Bandana, So He Made It Happen
Stranded Snake seems to be the chosen name for him.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Puts Early Access Incentives Under the Microscope All Over Again
I haven't before but if I'm going to do it for any game it would be this one.
Re: Atomfall Looks Like a Legitimate PS5, PS4 Sleeper Hit
It's looking very impressive. Not many games based in my neck of the woods so I'm already in.
Re: Sony Clarifies the Difference Between First-Party, Second-Party, and So On
It's an excellent interview. Colin killed it.
Re: Sony's Latest State of Play Set a New Viewership Record for a PS5, PS4 Livestream
@themightyant look where we was at this point in the PS4's lifetime. They've wasted so much time and money making live service games that no one wants and then cancelled the majority of them. Thank God for third and second party or it really would be a quiet generation.
Re: Rumour: One of Sony's Last PS5 Live Service Games Fairgames Out in 2026
@RBMango I hear you. But they seem to exist in a bubble so it's not looking hopeful. Fingers crossed.
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test: All Start Times and How to Access
Massive Souls fan and I'm hearing good things but I haven't got time to play games with others. Probably a pass from me.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
@HonestHick Hahahaha. They completely wasted this gen on developing live service games which they then cancelled. Thank God for third party or it really would be barren.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
Well that was a massive waste of my time.
Re: Sony XDEV Urges Fans to Tune in to PS5 Livestream Today
Fill the whole 30 mins with Death Stranding 2.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Easiest 10 I've ever given.
Re: Poll: Did the PSN Outage Ruin Your Gaming Plans Over the Weekend?
No I was just playing KCD2. Which is so good btw.
Re: PSN Down Worldwide as PS5, PS4 Players Can't Log In or Play Online
It's back baby!!!
Re: Wonder Woman Game in Turmoil, Is Still 'Years Away from Release', New Report Claims
@ChrisDeku This is Monolith though not Rocksteady so I thought you was just lumping all WB in together.
Re: Wonder Woman Game in Turmoil, Is Still 'Years Away from Release', New Report Claims
@ChrisDeku Warner Bros did make Hogwarts Legacy in that time.
Re: Wonder Woman Game in Turmoil, Is Still 'Years Away from Release', New Report Claims
These developers need to get their acts together.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Because It Wasn't Live Service, EA CEO Seems to Suggest
EA thought they had a banger on their hands. They had a false sense that it was good because of all the dodgy reviews. Reviews that could only have been written by people who had never played a DA game before.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) - Immersive Knight Sim Makes for a Peerless RPG
@IamJT Firat one is excellent but a bit clunky. I'd suggest you just jump into this one after a recap of the first on YouTube.
Re: Some Think GTA 6's Multiplayer Mode Could Be Sold Separately on PS5
If the developers have the opportunity for greed then expect them to take it.
Re: Rumour: Xbox's Fable, Killer Instinct, More to Join Forza Horizon 5 on PS5
It's a good decision. Sea of Thieves proves we're buying them so keep them coming.
Re: Preview: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is the Golden Ticket Ubisoft Needs
Not feeling it. Let me know when the Black Flag remake is ready.
Re: Astro Bot 'Almost' a Nintendo Beater, Says Reggie Fils-Aimé
Astro Bot was excellent but just imagine how good the sequel will be.
Re: Poll: How Would You Have Reacted to a Live Service God of War Announcement?
Eye roll would have been my response.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Is Leaving BioWare
When you screw up as bad as she did you get canned.
Re: Lists of Sony’s Cancelled Live Service PS5 Games Paint a Worrying Picture
Probably the only one we'll end up getting is Marathon. I imagine Fairgames is going the way of Concord.
Re: The Final Suicide Squad PS5 Ending Is a Real Sorry Sight
What a Joker. But at least they fixed the mess they made. Last one out the door make sure you turn out the lights.
Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is All But Official Now, More Than a Graphics Upgrade
The golden age of piracy is my specialist subject. So hyped for this. If I had my way they'd lean heavy into the pirate and lean away from the assassin. As for Shadows, I couldn't be less interested if I tried.
Re: Square Enix Vows to Deny Toxic Fans Its Wonderful Games, Services
People are weird and shippers are very weird.
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Sign Ups Available Now
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy That's what I was thinking. Barely have enough time for single player games. Getting more with the portal but wouldn't want play this on that. But my sons are hyped for it.
Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
I dont hate it. I've platinumed them both but I find it pretty forgettable and Aloy is a bit bland.
Re: Do You Put Your PS5 in Rest Mode or Shut It Down?
Pretty much restmode all the time. Starts up faster with the Portal.
