I've been saying BALTRO this whole time..

If you can ignore all the petty, nitpicky criticism that this game has received from the internet, you can actually enjoy a polished, gorgeous fuedal-Japan AC game with a huge focus on stealth 🙌🏻 Ubisoft have learned to take care with this one and released it in a wonderful state, as they have learned from SW Outlaws (which has also been fixed since). People need to chill and be a bit more positive ✌🏻

All these leaks, claims, rumors etc.... just sucks the excitement out of official announcements and creates expectations for nothing 🙄 Borders on trolling at this point.

Back when phones still had keypads and mobile games were barely games, Betrayal was actually awesome 🤣 Good times. Also, f*ck I'm old 🥲

This is genius marketing 👌🏻 Suprised to see something like this from Square Enix. Let's hope the sale meets their sales expectations...
And yea, the Clive Rosfield dude is hilarious 🤣

Josef Fares is an absolute legend. Incredibly based. All game developers should be like this guy. There's nothing corporate or sleezy about him 🙌🏻 He just respects video games and gamers alike.

There's just something very relaxing about climbing games. Like when playing Jusant, you just get this very chilled feeling of peaceful isolation while taking in the scenery and looking down at how far you've come. I welcome the difficulty of Cairn, but I hope it has similar vibes 😌

Who's ready for another Malevelon Creek? 😬

@ZeroSum Nailed it! 👌🏻

I can think of two big reasons why she's been everyone's favourite 🤩

Fntastic need to read the room, seriously 🙄 They should count their lucky stars that they themselves weren't sued into oblivion for releasing that abomination of a game.

It's definitely got that second season budget now. Looks great 🙌🏻I don't think Joel will get the golf club though. TV Abby can't take him.

Seems like their next game is in lim... wait.. nevermind 🙈

@heavyartillery56 You have no idea why there's not going to be any DLC for SM2. No one does. Most likely the DLC was scrapped because Insomniac wanted to get started on SM3 right away.

@heavyartillery56 SM2 was successful because SM3 has been confirmed to be in development. Might want to leave that out of your argument.

Just another excuse to play this excellent game again! Can't wait 😬

I really hope this is another W for the Silent Hill franchise 🤞🏻 After the immaculate Silent Hill 2 remake, we can forget about the other silly side projects that released recently and look forward to another mainline entry. Let's hope that we'll all need new underwear for Silent Hill f 😬

@breakneck The sad reality is that nowadays video game journalism wouldn't exist without rumors and leaks..

This is such a fantastic metroidvania that was largely overlooked when it came out. I played it on the Switch and had a blast with it. Visually oozing with style and a fantastic soundtrack, with fun combat and progression. So excited to be able to play this again on the PS5.

Independent studios should always work within safe margins and make smaller games until they have enough money to safely take bigger risks. I've seen how some indie studios have grown like that over the years and how others have failed by risking it all on one big project. Just play it safe. And listen to the dude from Larian.

Was suprised to see the update, but knew it wasn't anything major. The PS3 is still great in 2025 though! 🙌🏻 I cherish my library of games (most of them stuck on the console) dearly 🥹

Sony needs to make the right move and acquire the company or the developer, before Tencent does, and then let FromSoftware keep doing their thing.

If the collection includes remakes of 2 and 3 (like what was done with 1), I will happily part with whatever sum of money they ask for!

Seems like the safest thing you can do in the industry today, to survive as a studio. It's brutal what these large companies have been doing. RIP Monolith, Arkane Austin 😔

I just hope the new operation is better than the last one. Ideally another Tyranid-focused level that is a bit longer. Looking forward to horde mode! 😬

With a steadily-growing library of good games, and this price cut now, the PSVR2 might actually worth buying

So is AI being regulated at all, or are we just slowly willing our own end?

Watched that video just for the comments. Pure gold 🤣

My noob brain can't even comprehend this. I died a thousand times to finish Elden Ring and I was still proud of myself 😅 I guess these games are just gonna keep getting harder and harder for us plebs now, thanks to these streamers 🥲

@Drago201 I'm well aware of that. I was implying that they would remove it from ps+ so that you have to buy the ps5 version if you still want the game. They can't make any money off of anyone who is happy with the ps+ version.

I played System Shock 2 last year (after playing the SS1 remake) for the first time and damn.. it holds up so well. I had just a few graphics mods installed, but everything else in the game - the story, exploration, atmosphere, SHODAN, that twist - was still amazing. Will defintely play the Nightdive re-release 🙌🏻

Soon to be removed from PS Plus, I'm sure...

These State of Play shows are fine if Sony can follow them up with a showcase of whatever big games weren't announced/covered. Timing is everything. Sony has enough games in development to start doing more shows and completely blow us away this year 😬

A few nice surprises, some slop, and half the stuff we've already seen before or knew about already. Opening with Monster Hunter Wilds just set the tone lol 🙈 Returnal 2 was the only real exciting announcement 🙌🏻

Where are all the leeeeeeeeeeaks??? 😵

Remaster the first two Company of Heroes games for next-gen consoles 🙌🏻 I just need those games in my life again 🥹

Sony: "Don't worry about the uncertainty of a digital-only future.. here's 5 days of our online service... sshhh"

He was probably one of the UAP hoaxers as well 🙄

You can never go wrong with a Star Wars crossover 😌

Currently slicing through the first 3 games and can't believe I have been sleeping on this franchise!! 🤯 Absolutely amazing! Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a gift from the gods 🙌🏻

@twitchtvpat There was a whole reveal trailer that leaked. Seemed legit.

What ever happened to companies reusing assets from a canceled game to make a completely new game, instead of wiping it and closing the studio? Some of the biggest games/franchises have been created from other canceled projects, like Resident Evil 4 (canceled Devil May Cry game) and Assassin's Creed (canceled Prince of Persia game). Wild.
Like take what Naughty Dog worked on, for example. Whatever they were doing didn't work, but they had TLOU assets made for that. Why not just repurpose what has been created already into Factions 2? That worked. They have the blueprint for that.
Surely Spiderman: The Great Web could have also been salvaged. Just sad.

They removed the video out to save a few cents??? 🤣 WTF 🤦🏻‍♂️ Sony could've had a Switch-like success story with the Vita, had they kept it... and done away with those pesky memory cards ofcourse..

But can it run Crysis?

Between COD and Fortnite.. nothing is sacred anymore 🫤 They treat pop culture like an exploitable candy store.

A game that redefined what a video game could be. Modern art. This game is always in my conscience. Nier is life.
Now... time for the next game to make an appearance 🥹

@breakneck You got 2/3 bro 😄 Ueda 🥹 Okami 2 😲 Mafia 😬 Word up son

It was a highlight in gaming for me this year. It's nice that games get recognized and given awards but that doesn't phase me as much. Some of the reveal trailers were genuinely surprising, exciting and one even had me tear up a bit 🥹 Geoff did good this year and knows what the people want. The show can do without The Muppets though..

Activision has been run by a bunch of cold, heartless robots for years. Now they are trying to do the human work as well.
