Is there a drone minigame where you can watch the diggers laying waste to the Amazon rainforest for the giant road that they're building for the next big summit?
I don't deny climate change but I sure do deny the need for 20,000 entities to gather in the same place to reheat the same message.

@LifeGirl The first and third game are legitimate classics and along with PT they're a Kojima restrained but still firing imaginatively. MGS4 however, is utterly terrible in every aspect.

@AdamNovice Having the character arc of Meryl be that she's marries the guy who spends the entire series filling his britches with a continual stream of brown water is definitely genius writing. What creative visionary at Ubisoft is so devoid of ideas that he didnt think to insert that level of exposition into Assassins Creed XXVII?

@KundaliniRising333 People have a habit of saying he is gaming's Lynch/Kubrick/Eggers but I don't buy into that at all.
He's as inept as he is talented.

Even if it sold 30 million it would've underperformed in Square's eyes. They have some rather ludicrous targets that they set. Also, they have a bad habit of complaining about external factors for the product not meeting it's target.

When I was a youngster you had to sit above the wheel arch of a big diesel engine double decker bus to get an involuntary erection. Games amounted to some rudimentary indescribable objects on a screen that bore no resemblance to humanity anatomy. Even out of reach, top shelf magazines were named after motor cars.
Kids today will just not get the opportunity we had to get confusing involuntary erections.

@get2sammyb Report said about 60% of PC sales were from China

@Bionic-Spencer I fully completed it and thought the game was an utter chore by the end, perfectly encapsulated by that insufferable epilogue.
Many aspects of it are unmatched and yet other aspects however, are laughably bad.

I'm all for a good bonk.

@PuppetMaster What I class as proper video game core mechanics usually executed without fault. They're like virtual chess but with your butt clenched tight enough to crack walnuts.

@Northern_munkey Its one of the few games I class as essentially perfect. An unsung masterpiece

There's the assumption that side scrolling, or twin stick shooters are simplistic affairs but if you watch videos on YouTube of a pro playing something like Nex Machina on Master difficulty it's any but. Looks more like video game poetry in motion.

'The game delves into the themes of exploitation, company towns, and abusive management, showcasing how capitalism has negatively impacted the Halcyon system. Players will encounter situations where workers are exploited and live in company towns designed to keep them in debt. The game also features characters who are critical of capitalism, reminding players that individuals raised in such systems may not understand alternatives to their current lives'
In a game you have to pay £80 for

I'm still in a lobby....Snake Eater

It's one of my personal favourite PS1 games. Voice acting has obviously dated badly but the atmosphere is still denser than a neutron star

Numbers not even ZRodent can compete with

Got a selection of good gameplay options on sale stranger

Build A Coffin Boy

At least 30% of the higher ups who forced this direction upon the devs didnt lose their jobs. It means that they've still got the creative license to make some more cataclysmically stupid business decisions.

The Xbox version isn't even getting the day one patch at launch. You know, the one that actually makes it playable.

It might end up being a big, rancid, blow fly ridden turkey but it's been sat at the top of the pre order list on PSN for a while now so some consumers seem willing to give it a shot.

People have wondered what it would take to bring back Daniel Day Lewis...

I think the adjective they're looking for is 'mind numbing'

My major issue with Platinum has always been their colour palette. Their games are nearly always fantastically bombastic but always clothed with hues that come under 'Insipid' on the Dulux chart.

Tokon has been the surprise reveal of the year for me. Arc's art design is just on another level to this.

Gacha games are not my cup of Twinings but I'll cough up for the DLC in Stellar Blade.

Went downhill as soon as Kojima stopped all momentum with that god awful trailer than explained nothing and just sucked the life out of that great initial trailer for Mortal Shell

It's another fake game scenario. There was a rather unpleasant trailer released years ago that made out it was 'in game' yet so obviously wasn't. It's been dining off that intial reveal for too long and now barely gets any nearer towards being a cohesive game other than showing some more gore snippets.

@StrickenBiged Would have to be either the Hunter, Lady Maria or Gascoigne for me. Bloodborne characters in anime would be delightfully graceful as well as grotesque

The problem I have with the 'Journey influenced' games is that Journey itself was, and still is, a perfectly executed experience (especially in multiplayer) to the point that everything since that has attempted to surpass it with semi novel takes have only really reminded me of how great the original game continues to be. The art direction of many just ape Journey so closely that they end up as sadly rather generic affairs.

I'd love to see Arc"s visual flair bring some PS protagonists to life. Kratos, Aloy etc with an anime flair will certainly sell even more copies.. Considering how many devs loan out their characters to rival devs it'd be a riot to see Ryu, Bison, Mai and more as later content

Humorously they've paid a few outlets to not say a solitary bad word about Mindseye despite this being an odds on unmitigated disaster.

Game looks legitimately beautiful

To a goose one does not boo

35 minutes of Xbox multiformat games and 5 mins of PS exclusives.

@AhmadSumadi Low brow smut like that?
Of course it is!!

@arsmolinarc The movie industry gave us Citizen Kane, Godfather, Eraerhead but also Nymphomaniac and Freddy Got Fingered. Literature gave us Shakespeare, Goethe, Dostoevsky, Cervantes but then also gave us Jackie Collins and 50 Shades Of Grey. Music gave us Beethoven, Bach and Miles Davis but also 'I Like Big Bootys And I Cannot Lie'. Art gave us Michelangelo, Goya, Titian, Turner but also gave us Tracey Emin's Bed.
All artistic genres have multiple avenues where guff sits along masterpieces.

@Perturbator Those 90s Christian conservatives snuck back into the conversation on the lack of morality in games

Is it any more ridiculous than a 'roids ridden Kratos ambling around in nowt but a cod piece when it's -40°?

If anyone is subscribed to PS Plus and want a Ridge Racer fix then play the upacaled PSP game. It's truly fantastic.

The obscurantism of Clair

Trevor in GTA5 is introduced with him continually stamping on a human's skull until it's merely a pavement pizza and he's seen as the comic relief by millions.
A derriere jiggles in a shooter and morality suddenly takes precedence.

My my, hey hey
Concord ain't here to stay
But it's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey

Pause the trailer and read the post launch road map. It's utterly baffling.

The puns on this site are a cross between Tommy Cooper, Tim Vine and the Ha Ha Bonk book from the 80s.
That's a positive btw

The King of All Cosmos is still one of the greatest video game characters ever created.

@AverageGamer You may possibly be correct but from what I've seen and the entirely negative previews I'm betting on it being a mega flop

I think it's going to need some video game viagra to stop this from flopping hard The preview event that some journalists were treated to was not great by most accounts.

@Gazray A rather trite comment to make. It's not really very helpful just to lump everyone in the same group just because they have issues with certain aspects of a piece of art. Comes across as bad as the folk you're trying to mock.
