As much as I loved the first one, as soon as I saw it was on game pass day one, it went into the “wait for a sale” section for me. As a PlayStation user I make it a point to do this with any game that releases day one over there. I know it’s petty, but there’s just too much that I want to play, and if you’re willing to devalue your product, so will I as the consumer, .
Absolutely pathetic. Literally can’t even remember the last time there was good news coming out of PlayStation itself. Thank goodness for third party developers.
Surprisingly I actually think SGF was the best showing out of the main three. Not to say there wasn’t some great announcements today. Really looking forward to Grounded 2 coming when it’s out of early access.
Some really exciting things announced. Namely the two coop games, Resident Evil 9, and Ill. But overall for me it was just “good”. It’s gotten to the point too many games are indiscernible from each other. Seems like every other announcement we’ve been getting the last few years is either another dark, action rpg, or some Japanese anime weeb game.
Honestly fine with it. Xbox really has almost nothing going for it at the moment besides gamepass and my backlog is so insane at the moment that I’m ok with playing this later rather than sooner.
There needs to be more discussion from games media (y’all included) about the value of PS+ continually decreasing. While the few day one drops have been great and appreciated. They’ve hardly been consistent or of such quality, to justify the price increases, decrease in the number of titles offered, the small windows to actually play those games, premium still not being good enough, etc etc.
I’m looking forward to season 2 but, I honestly wasn’t even that big of a fan of the 1st season. My biggest gripe was Joel and Ellie’s relationship felt extremely expedited. There wasn’t enough of their journey, and growth. Besides that, I was also disappointed with the lack of action and horror elements. I could go on and on about the things I was disappointed with, but I’ll stop here.
I put mostly happy, because I’m tired of Sonic/Sega and would have rather seen just about any indie game in that spot. Besides that another great month for sure.
Only 7 games for extra and 2 games for premium. Happy to be getting another day one title but overall the quality and quantity of this service has plummeted since the price hike.
Idk why but the more I hear about this game the less interested I become. I loved 6 so I’m trying to get excited about 7 but it’s just not catching my eye for some reason.
Game focused too much on DC comics and Adventure Time, for me. I really wanted it to succeed despite my disdain for the Free to Play model, but this game deserves the grave.
Games honestly super fun, but I can see its gameplay becoming stale pretty quickly. Hope it does well though. Knockout City was criminally underrated imo.

Re: Atomic Heart 2, The Cube Spin-Off Announced by Mundfish
Coolio. Probably means we’ll be getting the first one for an a PS+ or Extra at some point
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2025?
Way too big of a focus on Japanese games for my liking. Also ending the show on a marvel fighting game was certainly a choice.
Re: Horror Hit Phasmophobia Is Being Adapted for the Big Screen
Blumhouse is usually pretty meh, but I’m always down for more horror.
Re: Rumour: Greek God of War Game Is a 2.5D Metroidvania

Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
@AinsleyE they put their games on sale almost immediately from what I’ve seen. Wait a month and you’ll likely see at least a 20% discount

@AFCC can’t speak on that unfortunately. But I’m sure it could be!

Will be hopping in tonight. Had a blast with the beta
Re: New PlayStation Studio Hiring for AAA Title, Seems to Feature Co-Op Multiplayer
To see it actually release would be pretty cool I guess.

I put mostly happy, because I’m tired of Sonic/Sega and would have rather seen just about any indie game in that spot. Besides that another great month for sure.
Re: All Your Friends Can Play Midnight Murder Club for Free on PS5
I honestly can’t wait to play again. Me and my friends had a blast during the beta so this will be a day one for me.

People don’t wanna spend money on art, then act surprised when people lose their jobs. 🤷🏻
Re: Sid Meier's Civilization VII (PS5) - Legendary Strategy Series Builds a Brand New Foundation
Of course it feels incomplete, they’ve got DLC to sell.
Re: Peacock's Surprisingly Great Twisted Metal TV Series Returns This Summer
Pumped for this. First season was far more enjoyable than I was expecting

Re: New Digimon Story Game on PS5 Leaked, Announcement Likely Incoming
@Weebleman apologizes my dude!
Re: New Digimon Story Game on PS5 Leaked, Announcement Likely Incoming
Looking like it’s gonna be another SOP catered to weebs
Re: New Death Stranding 2 Updates and Details Coming Next Month
Hopefully that means it’s skipping the SOP. I’ve already seen enough of it personally, just need a release date.

Re: Microsoft Confirms PS5 Ports for Age of Empires 2, Age of Mythology
Age of Empires is 100% day one buy for me. Never played Age of Mythology so I’m gonna have to look into a bit but certainly looks up my alley.
Re: Firaxis Unveils Civilization 7 Content Roadmap for 2025 and Beyond

Re: Rumour: MultiVersus Season 5 Could Be the End for Free-to-Play Fighter
Game focused too much on DC comics and Adventure Time, for me. I really wanted it to succeed despite my disdain for the Free to Play model, but this game deserves the grave.
Re: Two Point Museum Reminds You It's a Proper Management Sim in Latest Trailer
Loved Hospital, but Campus was unplayable for me off of PS Extra. Every time I tried booting it up I was met with just a black screen.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black Remasters an Action Classic, Out Now on PS5
50 bucks is an absolute joke. Seems like they’re charging more due to it being in gamepass. I’m good.
Re: Poll: How Would You Have Reacted to a Live Service God of War Announcement?
I would’ve definitely not been happy. I want new single player IP.
