Was it on disc?

First ps console i will not be buying. Well i had a good run.

Id never thought id say this...but after this comes into effect ill stop gaming.
Nintendo and xbox got nothing for me and i will not go 100% digital. Shame

Marathon and trails for me

I have been playing games since i was eleven. 44 now. And this is the only game i ever shelved due to being a boring unfun slog. I will never understand people defending this game. 15 min spectacle followed by four hours of coma induced boredom with bad really bad sidequests.

Although the current economical state does not help i cant help consider this is also a course correction after the covid boom. Gaming exploded and companies expanded rapidly.
Time will tell. Our hobby contains to much money to collapse.

Ff16 is sooooooo booooooring. I started playing to get the platinum. But i shelved it. I just could not carry on. The side quests are the worst i ever played and i played Crimson desert.
The game is 15 minutes highs with awesome visuals and then four hours of slog. With a terrible terrible combat system that a monkey could control.
Yea this is all subjective and if you like it good for you! I find it coma induced boredom

I do not have high hopes. The other two games were trash.

@mftwrecks well i did say KEEP me invested

I would have been more worried if the neckbeard liked it.

Every sop is the same. People get unrealistic sky high expectations and then get mad when they are not met.
It was a very good sop for me.
Cant wait for ace combat 8 (and zero!)

I have the plat. Put 206 hours in it. Enjoyed it a lot!
But i will not play it again. Burned out by it and they did not do enough to keep me invested.

Shame, i will avoid this. Not everything has to be a soulslike. A terrible overrated genre imo.

@americansamurai1 Thx for the answer. No trials for me then.

Do they still pop trophies with the trials?

Shame, marathon is one of my fav games of this generation. It is really really good.
I will never understand the negativity surrounding it.

Good it is well deserved. This is how you do a remake, not that dumb ff7 trash.
Cant wait for part two, but first i need to finish beyond the horizon.

The soundtrack contains freak by silverchair. I bought it immediately.

Marathon marathon. I want level 100 before june

They already mutilated the original story. What is a bit of dlc gonna do? Make it worse?
It cant get any worse.

The game is sooooo good. 124 hours in and not bored yet.

A solid 8. Not the greatest thing since sliced bread as most outlets say.

And yet as far as i am aware this site did not review greedfall 2.

It is almost if people overreacted. Surely that cant be....

I hope they redeem the remake series but ill expect it will be worse than the other two. And those were not really good to begin with.
Still, we shall see

Britney spears also sold loads of music

Very nice review! Clear, well written and makes me wanna play it. On the wishlist it goes

Sony does something and it gets a cynical reaction.
For the love of God this just an optional thing.
I think should sony give away ps5 for free people would moan they arent the Pro model.
The negativity on this site is exhausting.

Funny people think hulst is sitting on a Throne maniacally laughing as he closes studios at random.
He is not a dictator. He does need to explain himself. And he bases that on data we do not have.
But why should we have nuances? Does not fit the narrative on this site and gaming in general.

I am 34 hours in and do not understand the praise this game gets.
Every single quest is boring.
Story is non existent.
Kliff is a wet noodle.
The puzzles are just 3d versions of artifex mundi puzzles.
Enemy design is one note. In 34 hours i am fighting the same dudes with just different tunics.
Combat is easy until you fight a boss. But that does not take any skill as you can just brute force them with enough cooking.
Graphics are good, world is gigantic so if you like exploring this is the place to be.
6 seems okay to me.

As long they leave 8 Alone. What a crapfest that was. Story was bad, characters were bad, junction was bad.
Now do.the smart thing and remake 6 in octopath style.

For a long time i was the only one in the world with the plat for the elemental war (td game)
It feels kinda special
What he did though was miles more difficult.

The game is very very good. It does not deserve to die. I hope it goes for the long haul. If only to prove the haters wrong.
The amount of vitriol this game got is just...dumb really.

Yann is the most annoying character i.have encountered in a loooon time. The fact that he is in the game makes sure it will never be a great game. God i hate that one dimensional drunkard.
A six seems right though. Huge world, lots to do, but story is terrible, quests are all boring (talk, ride horse, talk, collect things, ride horse back, talk. Over and over...)
Controls are clunky and the game is not streamlined at all.

It is very enjoyable to walk around and do stuff. The story is crap though. Kliff sucks as a protagonist. (Could have just let us made our own).
And it needs streaming asap ( just let us loot money instead of opening pouches, just let us click on ore and mine it instead of selecting a pickaxe and target the ore and then press r1 etc)

If i was sony i would just alternate like this:
Let a studio make a giant budget game like last of us or God of war..
Them give them 20 million to make a small project.
Them a big one again etc.

The controls are really bad. It takes so much effort to do the simple things.
Why do i need to go into my inventory to open up a pouch of coins to get said coins? Why dont i loot them immediately from a corpse?
Why does harvesting materials takes three or four steps and not just one streamlined proces?
Why do i need to press l1 and r1 together, then let go of l1 and then tap l1 again to do some stuff?
Controls really really suck

I just used it on the first solasta game. It looks way better! Like really better. I am a bit blown away actually

Why Oh why did they remove the news update feed from ps4. I enjoyed seeing trophies that my friends obtained.

I really do not care. I buy games when i think the price is right for what i buy. Do i care if someone gets it cheaper? No.

Ff16 is sooooo boring. Dd2 is something i would definitely try.

Good job hermen!

I never ever say this but for me personally it is a very weak month. Weakest ever i think. Oh well i have a huge backlog so i will manage.
Taste is subjective anyway.

I ordered it. Always wanted to buy one expensive limited edition and i love this series so... Yes i am part of the problem.

A studio that is known for freshing up other peoples work closes and everyone loses their mind.
They have done nothing to deserve this reaction. Nothing.

Gamers as a group are a sad bunch of people. The over reaction with news like this is shocking.

The over reaction is still in full swing it seems.
Hope that we get past this quick.

@roomwithamoose
Yes i do.
They were giving a proven and popular ip to work with and did not do a job that was good enough. Well according to sony at least.
Dont get me wrong their are a lot of studios getting shuttered and people are affected with their Lively hoods. That sucks.
But Blue Point had only ever made remasters. Nothing original. So were does the narrative come from that we lost one of the great studios?

@roomwithamoose
They were making a new game. But apparently it was not good enough.
Everyone hating on Sony and hulst is the easy knee jerk reaction.
It could also be the project they were werking on was just not good enough.
