This is the first time I'm a bit down on the show. I'm usually fairly chipper about it, on contraire to what people post on the internet. I try to take an optimistic look at the games shown, but this was basically and indie fest, with 2-3 big games mixed in. Geoff should've set expectations for it earlier.

That was very very good. Had a couple surprises, and a good variety of genres for different people.
Feels like it had a game for everyone.

@BiosNova I think the video saying "TECH DEMO NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY" is too much for people.

Jae-Eun is already using that bikini on her profile pic.

I cannot deal with more than one Mihoyo game.
I started with Genshin but migrated to Honkai as soon as it release since it was a turn based RPG and never left it.

@Fishnpeas You're telling me Sony released 27 first party titles in the 4th year of the PS4?!

I swear that people talk about Sony as if they were dishing out first party games every year during the PS4 era and not just on the last 2-3 years of its lifecycle.

Rogue trader was really fun (if buggy af). I was kinda looking forward for a new Pathfinder CRPG, but I'll take a W40K one.

We all knew that as soon as they implemented the Eververse store the armor that you were getting as drops would look very drab compared to the sets that were being sold.

We'll get a SoP in the summer about Ghost and that's it.

These look nice but are waaaay too expensive for the games that are on the disc.

No doubt that the game and Bungie and in hot water, but did they do anything to Paul Tassi's family? The dude has a huge vendetta against them, it almost seems personal.

@belmont @ChrisDeku Wizards of the Coast gave him pants on his Magic card.

Don't know what he's talking about, games in my country are already 80€ (or $90), and they can get stuffed with those prices anyway.

How many studios has Jade left by now? It's been a decade since she shipped anything of relevance.

The wrong lessons will be taken from this

@PlatinumMikey They did yeah. 2 of them, on to finish in HC and another to finish in HC with all the negative perks active.

@ChrisDeku You had the most sensible take about this that I've seen.

Gotta admit, only the first game and being digital only is a bit of a letdown.

@Simong85 Didn't he blame the riots on COD as well? Now he loves videogames?!

@thebizniznizbiz what, you don't poop? You need to get that checked.

Completely out of nowhere. I was just poop-scrolling through FB and saw the trailer.

@Shepherd_Tallon They'll probably cost 28€ each

I'm cautiously optimistic, as I really did like SH2, but also most of the people that worked on that game probably didn't work on this one, since it's already releasing this year.

@BAMozzy You keep repeating that "it's a license" but the files to install the game ARE in the disk, as I said you don't need to connect to the internet to install and/or play. You haven't read games directly from the disc since the PS2, but you still have all the files to install and run the games in the discs.
And no, it's not just older games and remasters, here is a list of the last few games I bought and install with no need for internet:
Dragon Age Veilgard
Life is Strange Double Exposure
Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza
First Berserker Khazan
KC2
Monster Hunter Wilds (it installs even though you do need internet to play it).

Now I do understand that you need to install some patches for updates, and bug fixes, but most games do have a playable 1.0 version in their discs.
The only company that you really see going further away from this is Ubisoft, with their ***** "You don't own your games" take, and now it seems MS is doing the same even though you can fit the games easily into the discs, but MS has been pushing digital for awhile now as well.

@BAMozzy I have around 43 games that I can install and play without being connected to the internet (I test every single one).
So far only Jedi Survivor required internet to install.

Edit: I never understood why people defend vigorously the digital only part (not saying you do @BAMozzy) when we should always get the 2 versions, physical with the game or installer on the disc and digital for whomever wants it and that's it.

People can also check the doesitplay website, they have more than 2000 entries for games to show which can be played straight from the disc without downloads and the ones that cannot.

Shu said what everyone was thinking.
My hype went back down to a 5 after finding out that the game is a multiplayer game.

@Jrs1 if you own the old version, yes.

Ofc he was right, the issue is where he should've lied or not.
I don't understand this new narrative that tries to pain Joel as a villain that surfaced on the last 2 years or so.

Free Ruan Mei?! Yes please, I want to build a Firefly team.

@ATaco People datamined the monsters. For example Lagi and another monster were supposed to be part of the main game were pushed to the free updates. If you google for MonHun Wilds leaked monster list or something you'll find all the info. I won't post it here because there are people that like to be surprised with the updates.

@ShogunRok It won't come in the base game, maybe the expansion, we already know which monsters will be part of the free updates.
Which to say, it is a shame, I love Nergigante, it quickly become one of my favourites (if not my favourite) monsters.

Lagi tease, the leaks were right after all, seems we already know all the monsters that will appear in future updates.

@PegasusActual93 Was expecting more moder looks, a full on remake. Still it's pretty great to have this updated.

Seminal game. I have to be honest though, was expecting a bit more for the remaster.

Big AC fan, still own all the games, but haven't bought this one. I think I'll probably get it when its 20€ or get a second hand copy, not going to give Ubi any more of my money.

@ShadowofSparta I agree with you, their 2 Pathfinder games are basically how I imagined the old Infinity Engine games to look on modern days, Wrath of the Righteous is an amazing game.

@Mikey856 I think you misspelt "suicide"

Like @GirlVersusGame said, it looks incredibly like Fatal Frame, it's quite interesting. I want to see gameplay.

This is an odd one for me, I bought the EA and played it and the game feels like it's built to be a live-service thing...or maybe just a game where they keep adding content? It certainly didn't feel like a SP, story based game.
Love the art style though.

It seems they finally improved the art style a bit, this game doesn't look like an old PS3 game like the most recent ones.

Played the demo on steam and it was really interesting.

@IceClimbersMain at one point in the video the character uses an ipad looking thing that has the information he just got from the little girl he was talking to, so it seems it saves the information that you get from NPCs at least.

I would say MonHun but I'm playing it on the PC

@puddinggirl He is yes. But nepotism aside, he actually seems like he did a good job, he's been working with MonHun forever now.

This is cheeky and fun, I like it.

"at a level above Tempered!"
And in April we will see everyone complaining that it is too hard, tempered was not a joke on World when you didn't have a min-maxed build.

Thank you for the review. I really need to check and see if there's video comparison of the versions, because the beta on PS5 looked like dog water, but I do prefer to play on the sofa instead of sitting on my desk.

Abby's poster is kinda cool.

@nessisonett The main set will deffo be in Arena, it's standard legal. I'm not sure bout the commander decks though, most likely not for now, but they're trying to implement commander into Arena.
