@Ken_Kaniff thought exactly the same and let’s be honest that’s a good thing. It always amazes me that one or two guys can make great games but massive teams at professional studios churn out absolute trash.

Psvr fire sale going well. I still don’t see Sony producing more units because selling them at these prices must be a loss.

Most soulslike games are very poor imitations. But it’s still a better format than most action adventure games where you can one shot nearly all the bosses and the satisfaction of beating the games are almost non existent

Look at that list of top selling games and you discover the reason console sales are down! There is very very little of interest on the horizon imo. Gaming is in a rut of failed live service releases that fade into obscurity very fast. Sony seem to have drifted slightly from the path of the ps4 model. Thankfully we have elden ring dlc to keep me entertained.

The subscription model especially in the early days (think Netflix) price the product as a loss leader. This is a means to attract customer base that then become reliant on this new product. Once you have them hooked the real price point comes into play. By the time these models are fully costed they will be many times more expensive than the introduction offer. Expect gamepass to be $30+ in a few years

The comments section of push square was once a fun place to read and comment on games and articles. These days it’s just a constant barrage of criticism and toxicity. Kinda sums up the modern gaming industry and gaming community in general.

Looks like dark sekiro 4

Gaming is far too corporate now. All greed no creativity

I really enjoyed this game at the time until it dawned on me you have very little choice in missions. As I progressed I wanted to start making evil choices but everything led back to being forced to be helpful.

If it’s a different shape and smaller I’m definitely buying it.

Stop with this business plan already! Build new games

If Xbox go multi platform with their games they might as well stop making consoles because no one will buy them. What would be the point?

At this point I think we should just ditch social media.

This game was a surprise hit at the time. I’m not sure a remake will sell all that well.

This type of remake is well worth the purchase though. Most remakes are lazy! What I’d give to play a full rebuild of oot from Nintendo

Nopixle make heists way more fun than the standard gta versions.

Judge clearly in the pocket of big business. Abhorrent decision!

Ridiculous! If you need help with puzzles just use a guide! Also I don’t want the souls games being made easy for me. I want to grind my way through the bosses

@Thelegend159 Nintendo literally made a Mario lost levels game from cut content over 30 years ago and it’s still considered one of the best Mario experiences. It actually launched the whole kaizo mario boom.

At what point do Microsoft just give up making consoles? At this point they are better off just selling game pass to everyone including PlayStation.

What’s the point! The games only a couple years old ffs

Why?? Like literally what’s the point

Boycotts are the only way to stop this.

Quick Microsoft you’d better buy some more publishers. All jokes aside the only value proposition Microsoft have is gamepass. At some point they will have to put the price of that up a lot. I still question the long term viability of it.

I haven’t subscribed once since the changes.

Microsoft will axe the single player eventually anyway.

Three people voting abysmal 😂 the bad reviews are always my favourite

@Rmg0731 I looked at metacritic the other day and the game got user review bombed with 10/10 perfect game. Ridiculous!

Starfield isn’t a system seller if you ask me. People would have waited for the reviews before spending £500 in a cost of living crisis. Those reviews were not favourable and the ones that were honestly felt like they were paid to say nice things.

Oh bugger! Another game I now need to buy.

Why are all these layoffs happening? Are global games sales declining??

I had this on the Philips cdi 😂

@BusyOlf was in my local yesterday and it’s priced at £20. I know because I bought the bloody thing last week for £40 😂

You can buy this in Asda for £20 now

Waiting for reviews of this one. The lack of gameplay footage is a worry.

Doesn’t outstay it’s welcome as a plus point 😂

Never played it but it’s on a long list.

Why no from the ground up reimagining like old resi games.

Elder scrolls online

It doesn’t really looks smaller. Almost a complete waste of time

Tried both rdr games. Thought they were both slow and boring.

I absolutely love that most games are souls like now! No sarcasm.

Should have just created a remote play format that uses people’s phones or tablets. This design has a very limited market imo.

Ps2 was the best. Back in the days when you could play pirate games on a ps2 by using a piece of tape to crack the system.

I got my ps3 when gta5 released. So very late in the cycle and it was a super slim. Very good deal

The scrutiny on Microsoft will 100% increase if they try and buy other publishers. Because let’s face it at some point Microsoft will need to be stopped from creating a monopoly

Only one way they can work ellie into the story imo.

This takeover is dead in the water

10 year old remakes! No thanks

Still insane to me that people pay hundreds of pounds extra to play a game. Especially when it’s all cosmetic.
