@MasterChiefWiggum And you missed out on the free, well populated online as well as some great exclusives. I got a 360 a little later than a ps3 and wasn't impressed at all, just played Halo and a few others such as Kameo and yhe best version of NFS Most Wanted 2006.

Let's take a step back in time... Doo doodle doo doodle doo...

It's the only numbered entry I haven't played, but I've owned it for some time. I think I got bored of the formula after playing the other 3 and a couple of similar games. Number 3 was the first I bought and so that remains my favourite.

@StitchJones There's a total of 12 co-op missions maps now. The siege maps might have more than at launch, but I actually don't know. I know that they added more enemy types (1.0 just had Tyranids iirc) and a couple classes. If you didn't find it gripping before, you'll probably not get much more out of it now, but worth a redownload if you want to try a few new things and enjoyed it at all.

@OmegaStriver Cosmetics for the various loyalist chapters. I was quite surprised how many they did tbh, even gor the Carcharodons.

I very much enjoyed the base game, but haven't gotten around to the online stuff yet. Soon.

@OmegaStriver Expansion packs? All DLC is cometic.

@Nexozi A lot. Games are primarily a digital marketplace now and a lot of it will go back to the bank in a traceable way. After all, a lot of people who might be inclined to float physical cash around other places will probably want this particular game and then the bank gets a nice big chunk of it.

@Bluemoon2008 If it is something you can actually master, I'm game for a difficulty setting for once. Maybe checkpoints that you get reset to or something.

If you do actually care about this game, you can still turn off the effects anyway. The celebrations are much like any emote you get in any online game, some are ridiculous and that's just the way it is. It's the price especially for f2p.

Eh, the game looked very average, with some things that could have been patched (And might have been now, not kept track). I don't see what allthe fuss is about. Just people jumping on board the hate train for a free ride.

Nothing for me. Don't like football games, soulslike or Metroidvania. However, I have plenty of games to choose from anyway, so it's not an issue. Enjoy to anyone who cares about these!

@KeanuReaves I think that's just because more people own ps5s than good PC builds. RE is the most popular horror franchise by far, so more casual gamers will pick up a new RE release on console. I also, think that Nintendo still had a bit of stigma as the "Kiddy console", so the majority of the demographic (18+) would have chosen to pick it up on ps5 (Since Xbox isn't very popular).

@Perturbator Nice, I'm watching him livr later this year!

Very interested, might be a day one, but I'll probably check how much gen AI was used first.

"Power up with a twist! Use the Soulsync mechanic" To me, this sounds like a possible p2w and if so, no interest.

@Almost_Ghostly Yeah, if anything it got bigger straight away because of the f2p. Mobile also bought a lot of people in. It's definitely lost a chunk of the player base now, though.

@Perturbator Is your name referring to the French artist or the word in general?

There isn't a great variety in this game and PlayStation is the only VR platform where it's impossible to add your own songs. Must be the worst selling on PSVR2, especially with the lack of support for the platform in general anyway.

So, if it's mentioned a lot, it seems people lose any empathy for the subject. If they are told AFTER a project starts they will NEED to work a lot of overtime, that's not fair, a letter of recommendation or not... Chances are that word would then get around (Maybe in that letter) to any potential new jobs and those developers may not hire them (Could say that's a bullet dodged, I guess). Are we saying there aren't tight schedules in other industries? Nope, but any place of work that demands it often shouldn't be accepted. Hire more staff.

This is a solid line up for me. I gave the og Lords of the Fallen a go on ps4 and always wanted to try this one. I also have most of the SAO series, but not this one (Which is getting a hefty offline mode update) and Tomb Raider 1-3 remastered with a free camera is about the only way I'd wanna go back to those games, so an all around win for me.

@KoopaTheGamer Really? What's the point if it's the same as decent PC build? 😅

Wonder if there could be a small import fee for your Steam/Origin library for each game? That's the onky way I feel they'd make anything from this, but it is interesting, because consoles have basically always been cheaper PCs that you can't run other apps on and with this and Valve's console, it's pretty much going to become that entirely.

@Gunbeld Disregarding opinions apart from your own is probably why we have the orange man voted in. It's dangerous behaviour. I am a PlayStation game fan, but I would still like the option to play PS exclusives on PC at some point. I guess you might completely pretend I am not still, though.

@KeanuReaves People who own both PC and PS5 will buy on ps5 first, rather than wait. However, given the option, many would elect for PC first (Potentially better looking game and mod capabilities being the prime reasons). That is why waiting ages to port to PC will drop PC sales significantly.

@LikelySatan I'm not convinced, it was highly desired. Afaik, they didn't do all that much work on that game because the framework was already there from the team that built THPS 1+2. They make good 2D games and can tack on new graphics (AI can easily help with that now), but nothing for ground up projects or serious coding. Of course, they might have been putting in the work to get better or hiring new staff, but we have yet to see.

Edit: Seems they have also done a number of ports, but some of those have a bad rep. Personally, I can only spear for Diablo III on Switch, which is a favourite of mine. They also supported development of Enslaved, Bipnic Commando, Bioshock 2, Sleeping Dogs and Arkham Games on ps3 which are all good, too. Can't be sure on how much of those games are their credit, though.

@themaladroit Interesting, I'm actually playing through FF12 ZA right now and it is really good. I think Return to Arkham ended up really great as well (at least when I finally played the collection), but I do know it was a mess on first release. I haven't ever looked at the first two you mentioned, though. Checks not everything they do is good, but afaik they haven't left anything out like the THPS 3+4 remake.

@themaladroit What's wrong eith Virtuos? Spyro Reignited and Dark Souls Remastered are solid.

"but we suppose it's much more exciting to think that Iron Galaxy is actually going to be the team behind the long-rumoured Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters."

Not really, THPS3+4 was poor and they couldn't implement free roam. Rumbleverse was also ill-fated for a reason. Virtuos would have been a safer bet, but I suppose Iron Galaxy might be able to accomplish a remaster or two, though.

Both ESO and MH Rise are probably good fun IF you have someone else along with you, otherwise I don't think I'd bother with either. Slime Rancher 2 is a solid bit of fun solo, though (or at least, the first was so hopefully!).

@Almost_Ghostly Yep, I guess you were talking about how there are a lot remakes remasters on all consoles/PC. Personally, I've never heard of a remaster/remake that didn't look like a decent overhaul (Minus the bad job cases such as Silent Hill collection or Kingdoms of Amalur), so I personally feel it's not bad to do these. My only exception would probably be The Last of Us Part I when it already had a remaster... That was a waste of time.

@Bamila I saw one of his vids, but I prefer the other YouTuber who redrew the cutscenes. Unfortunately he never finished his version as he moved on to make 90s cartoon video games in Dreams, but it had a lot of progress.

@Almost_Ghostly There's a homebrew port for Switch.

@Balaam_ Haha I must have a thing for completing the "bad" ones. I failed to finish 12, 10 and 9. I liked 13/14-2 enough to finish them and really enjoyed 15. Though, saying that, I also completed 7 OG/Remake/8 and didn't finish 10-2 (Which must be rated pretty low).

Around 17 years ago, I did a temporary trade with this game for Legend of Dragoon on ps1 and the guy never gave my game back, so you bet that I took the time to complete it... I remember it being pretty boring in places but it wasn't too bad. I remember the intro and the bit in the white-ish looking building being quite interesting actually. I also remember a section with a grappling hook in like an old factory which I found terribly boring... But, that's two good memories vs. one bad one.

@Oram77 I also liked that one, I didn't play the other ps3 title through, but PoP '06 was decent. A refreshing change after the ps2 trilogy.

Wow, it's about the only interesting game on that list. Most people have 0 taste and it's confirmed over and over again. Simulation theory getting more creedence.

I was going to go with the second option from the top, because it's POSSIBLE that AI could write code faster, BUT most often right now, you need humans to basically examine everything AI writes anyway and I have no doubt that you'd probably need to re-write some of it regardless. If you just left it to it's own devices, you'd get a mess no doubt. Regardless about the efficiency of that part, though, no gen AI should be included.

Wow. I thought it was on track in the original reveal, but it got loads of hate. Now, thanks to that and the crappy management, it's never to be.

Already completed Epic Mickey on the Wii long ago, but might give it another run through as it was a good game. I suppose I can mute Unbound's dialogue/music and play my own over it. Might be wortha try, anyway.

I've had the first one on Steam since like 2015 and mever yet played it. 😅

@VeganH I've actually been preferring to play games like Goat Sim, Luigi's Mansion and Another Crab's Treasure lately tbh. I can't remember the last time I booted up a game like you said. Lots of people I know are the same 🤷

Wow. I checked the trailer and I was just very distracted by the badly written lyrics and vocals that don't add anything to the song. It would have been better as an instrumental haha

Dawn of War 4 will be better. I still play the first game to this day and they just released the Definitive Edition of that with better mod support, lighting, graphics, pathfinding.

Looks great! I love the handcrafted nature of it and would be so up for some behind-the-scenes unlockables in this case.

@Matthewnh Just like the other comment, this is an argument of false equivalence. Much like Star Trek, the movie comes from a franchise which you CAN draw from if you want. You may as well be saying "He hasn't been in a war against space insects, so he is/isn't qualified".

@wildcat_kickz Yeah, they are, but a small play session to get the tone, (rather than having to read about it) wouldn't go amiss.

@PixiebellGames Aren't there mechanics that mean your mech gets degraded by weather, which randomly turns?

About 18 years ago, I got stuck at some village on disc 2 of this game. I then lent it to my "friend" who proceeded to never return it. I then later learnt how much the game was worth and realised what most likely happened to it. One day, I'll come back to it haha From what I remember, it was a great second to FFVII as far as JRPGs go.

@PixiebellGames They all look good, minus that one, which only looks good visually. Maybe skip that.
