@LifeGirl Completely agree and I think everyone knows Hogwarts at least deserved a nomination, that it didn't get one will annoy a lot of people who really enjoyed the game and will harm these types of awards credibility even more so it's really counterproductive for them

@trev666 I think we all know why, apparently it doesn't exist in a vacuum so u can't just enjoy a good game these days. Awards across the entertainment space have been hijacked by ideology so it's not always the best/most popular game/movie that wins, unless that game complies with ESG/DEI which is why balders gate will definitely win

@playstation1995 because I watch sports and old comedy's at the weekend too so it's gives me the weekend feeling 😂 Original sin 2 improves on the first in pretty much every way. I always knew balders gate was going to be a hit after playing the divinity games, I can't believe they didn't get as much hype when they were released

@playstation1995 the divinity games are fantastic, the second is my favourite but both are great. Also can I just say your comment on wayp every weekend makes my weekend 🙂

I really wish I could be more positive on this site but I'm not gonna be positive for the sake of it when sony are taking advantage of us. We need to make our voices heard, let your subscriptions lapse and I'll guarantee we will see the quality of games on offer improve dramatically. Money is the only language big corporations hear so if people keep subscribing hoping the quality will improve they are sorely mistaken!

We won't get a huge line up of everyone's favourites because sony are finding the cheapest possible licenses they can get just to add something to the premium lineup and pretend they are trying. Its pretty obvious at this stage they have had enough time now and the pattern is clear

@Poisonedpillsuk because once mine lapses it's one sub less on Sony's books, don't want to prop up and encourage these garbage practices

I honestly cannot wait for my sub to lapse, this is insulting. They have raised prices and since then the quality of games has gotten worse every month!

It's called X now though why put it in the headline of the article as twitter? I know it says x formerly known whatever but shouldn't the headline have the actual name of the platform? Such weird energy on this site when it comes to this subject

Audio experts, aren't CNET just journalists?

Like many others here, I'm letting my sub lapse. I don't need the whole syphon filter series and psp games that haven't been updated so we can use both analog sticks. U can tell, especially with the classics, they have found the very cheapest games they could aquire licenses for and they still had the cheek to increase the price so heavily.

Played about half the 2016 one, got bored so won't bother with this one. Sooo much on rails slowly walking and talking. Best recent playstation exclusive in my opinion is Ghost of Tsushima. Fantastic story, great gameplay and amazing visuals, what more could you want 🙂

Wow, if there isn't too much perspective fiddling like mentioned above, this is just a redesign. I must admit the new model dies look a bitbetter but definitely no reason to buy unless u don't own one already

@naruball imagine the character replacement u mentioned was reversed, the "triggering" would be on a whole new level. But that would be ok though right?

This is not natural as the game director states but very clearly being forced. Watch the sales numbers plummet for the new game

Will def pick up robocop on a sale. No interest in Spidey 2 didn't finish the first as the shallow gameplay got boring and it seems the sequel is more of the same. Glad so many people are enjoying it though

@Northern_munkey thanks for clarifying, couldn't find the answer after googling it. Will give it a go so and hope it's not too jarring as I'm def a performance mode guy myself too

Upgraded to premium before the price hike just to play a few games that I would like to before I let my sub run out, seeing these games I'm not tempted to keep it. Just personal preference but I don't think this whole subscription model works with games like it works with movies and tv shows. Games are way bigger time sinks so having tonnes of them to play doesn't work for someone like me who has a job and a family so free time is at a premium. Also can someone please tell me if Gotham knights is still only 30 fps? 😅

When is the update for the improved police spawning? I couldn't continue when I realized how awful it is at the moment

If the game was free to play and then gated off with micro transactions then I would say 8/10 could be a fair score, but this game is full price. This shouldn't be glossed over with a shoulder shrug. But whatever, who takes critics scores seriously nowadays, 7/10

I've beat the game twice but to be honest I regret going through it a second time. The novelty certainly wears off. The combat is super shallow and it really shows with multiple playthroughs. If you haven't played it before and are a fan of Dragonball it's def worth a shot but I can safely say I will never play this again

What an update! Combat looks like it's been tweaked too and looks amazing 😍

Beat the original multiple times so can't wait for this. Great that it's available on console finally

Got scarlet nexus for like 17 euro. Great deal can't wait to play it

@WadeIsInsane incredibly anti consumer. Way too much of a risk purchasing new ip live service games when they can just stop working with no repercussions for the companies making them. And this is where Sony is investing big in, great....

So does this mean that people who paid money for the game can no longer play it?? Wtf will they get a refund or something? Once a game is purchased at least some form of it should remain playable

Absolutely loved the LoK games when I was younger. The story and the cinematography was easily on par with games today. Would love a conclusion to the original story but I would say a reboot is probably more likely. Remasters of the original games for modern consoles would be great too

Well like most of us on here I don't care about cod but we can't ignore the sales. Seriously though who actually thought that Microsoft was going to spend that crazy amount of money and not gain any advantage for it? It's screwed over us playstation owners but that's business

@get2sammyb ok of course it's not the same game exactly but you know what I meant by saying that. There are so many comparison videos that show the game is pretty much identical to previous ones going back at least 5 years though, same bugs and all. I think last years Madden 21 they even forgot to remove the Madden 20 banner from the stadiums which is just lazy. There's not much you can do to change the basic mechanics of the game so it's understandable that it's the same to some extent but then instead add new modes and other features that make it worth buying besides the roster update. I think a 7/10 is very generous for what innovations have been made since the previous game but that's just my opinion and you have a different one.

@Titntin can't speak for anyone else but I have an equal amount of vitriol the tlou remake and fifa and madden. These titles stagnate creativity and are not good for the industry in the long run

@Niktaw ya that step in the right direction bit was hilarious 😂 I dunno I think 7/10 is just a safe score to give and then just move on and give the exact same game a 7/10 next year again. I didn't see the push square Madden 21 review but good on whoever reviewed it for showing some honesty

Angry Joe's review of this shows the game hasn't changed in years, same animations, assets since at least Madden 17. Precision passing was also a feature they took out of the game a few years ago only to add it again as a "new feature". I'm very surprised push square has not noticed this game is basically the same as last year just a roster update and then they give it the meme 7/10 score. Doesn't help gaming websites credibility

Really looking forward to this. Harry Potter and sonic will get me through the winter 😁

@SerJosh97 operation tango 😂😂😂

Look at the companies actions for they speak much louder than these empty words

@Martsmall I dont blame you, raising prices is just another terrible news story about Sony and it's hard to keep track of them all. All the moves that are being made point to expensive hardware, free to play live services and mobile games with a tiny drip feed of single player experiences. An absolute joke since sony accrued it's fanbase by having fantastic single player exclusives but they are now just chasing the money

Seriously how are other ps5 owners not more pissed at the pathetic amount of games that have been released. No wonder they went backward compatible, imagine they didn't 😂

Sony I know this is a lot to ask, but can you please start making ps5 games? Nah let's start focusing on mobile a handful of ps5 games is plenty, it's only been like OVER TWO YEARS

"We're just remaking everything now" Please use that sub heading for tlou part 1 remake also. Nah u won't though will u because it'll be chocked full of praise with loads of "modern audience" sensibilities. Such a condescending term journos are using these days

From every marketing pic I see you'd swear that ellie was the main character not joel. ND really dont like Joel do they

I'm looking forward to sonic soo much more than GoW so I'll be buying sonic. I also know I'm in the tiny minority on this 😅

@Amnesiac ok yes true there are games such as visual novels out there like that but saints row isn't one of them. So my point saying the comment about this game is childish and bitter still stands. I do get your point that some games can be less about the gameplay though so you're right in saying gameplay doesn't always have to be the deciding factor but for the majority of games, gameplay is the most important

@Amnesiac we are talking about a game here though. A film I could understand because there's less interactivity and you can enjoy whatever political statement it's making. Games have much more to judge than just it's story and characters. Gameplay should always be the main deciding factor, nothing else

@Amnesiac That logic you speak of makes no sense. I'm guessing it's the political aspect that people are pissed off about but I really don't know or care for that matter. So if someone idealogically opposed to you doesn't like a video game then you'll probably like it? My god maybe u would want to play the game first yourself and see, I know, crazy idea

@nessisonett wow what a bitter, childish comment
