I'm just hoping it's nowhere near as dated as RDR2 when it comes to Rockstar's god awful antiquated mission structure.

@ApostateMage There's a sinister whiff of intellectual dishonesty which I find thoroughly distasteful.

The main (rather predictable) issue arrives nearer the end of the article. Numerous western outlets didn't like it upon it's release and i'd probably bet it's something Capcom will just want to avoid.

There's sadly not a chance in hell that Nintendo would allow Mario and Astro to mingle but surely Sega wouldn't mind a Sonic cameo?

Over to you Housemarque.

@get2sammyb And that ball having the same mass as a neutron star.

A colossal goatcluck. To have Bluepoint working on one is quite possibly the worst of the lot. Why buy a studio with a track record of nothing more than (admittedly excellent remasters and remakes) and task them with a GaaS title from one of your biggest IPs?

A rather fine gentleman leaves a rather fine legacy. Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

Balder's Gate 34: Rule Thirsty For More

Astro or Mario I'd definitely enjoy a slice. A grimdark nihilistic nightmare less so.

I'm still cleansing my impure self after the disgusting descent into debauchery I succumbed to with Halsin, Gale and the Drow twins.

@colonelkilgore Biggus...

@MikeOrator It's a subjective view but to me he's as flawed as he is talented. MGS4 is as bafflingly terrible as it is occasionally genius.

@ButterySmooth30FPS I'd say that Nex Machina is as close to a perfect game as I've played and a 120fps patch would be most welcome.

Returnal is still by far the best game this generation for me. A butt clenching, palm sweating cacophony of orchestrated violence.

There will certainly be an overly long, tediously drawn out cut scene which'll have my eyes rolling into my head leaving me perplexed as to why Kojima is put on a pedestal. Then there will be a gameplay mechanic where I'll understand why I should put up with his many flaws.

@J2theEzzo I'll read this message at a high price.

Capcom's excelling at the mo' because they've got a selection of good things on sale stranger

Rescue Mission's inventiveness is still the biggest jaw drop Team Asobi have ever created but Astro Bot on PS5 is hard to find fault with and full to the brim with creativity.
It was certainly my favourite of the year.

Metro morphed out of GameCentral which took over from Digitiser and Mr Biffo (back to the Teletext days) so they're far older than many of the current mob of journalists.
Out of the list you give I only know Critical Drinker and that's because he reviews movies. He seems to have unintentionally taken on RLM's Mr Plinkett character now that Stoklasa retired him.
I doubt half of his audience give a toss about games if you were inclined to notice the difference in views.

@DennisReynolds Like dude (one shall adopt that rather annoying common parlance) did you like read the response? I already listed one.
You could also start with naming a few of the grifters

@DennisReynolds The small handful of outlets complaining online equates to the small handful of grifters complaining online. Both have a regular audience that is swayed by their points. Whether that amounts to an oversized army of devotees championing their angle can be debated. My issue is that it distracted from the geniune merits of the game.

@DennisReynolds I disagree. There were plenty of the morally anointed Mary Whitehouse types running their mouths just as tediously as the grifters. Metro's rants especially were completely preposterous.

The immensely wearisome push back on Stellar's physics by intolerable rabble rousers on both sides marred what essentially is a pretty simple good old fashioned video game. One that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Without the incomprehensibly stupid ending it's top 3. With the incomprehensibly stupid ending it just about scrapes into the top 10

One can never tire of the wonderful Puppeteer being remembered.

For all the tediously overblown controversy Stellar Blade was a thoroughly entertaining game. It's unfair to.judge it (either way) solely on body physics.

Hand sumo sounds perilously too close to a Carry On Up The Double Entendre.
As in "I'm afraid I've got to 'pop off' with Babs Windsor and partake in a spot of hand sumo"

There needs to be an collection of Astro Bot fruit machines in a long row in one of the Vegas casinos. All those OAP's gambling away their grandchildren's inheritance in pursuit of some Playstation coinage.

I don't see any evidence that PS5 users would've jumped at paying £50 for this in any great number.

@lazarus11 It's a visual showcase on a high end PC but very poorly optimised (as you point out) on PS5.

Wukong was (and still is) a visual mess on PS5. The fps is bad in quality mode and just using frame gen to get from 30 to anywhere near 60 not only has input lag but reduces the screen to an ugly blur.

I'm adding the 112th comment so David Sheppard can stop standing on one leg

The utterly deafening stupidity of Rebirth's ending soured the game for me. Astro however, was delightful from start to finish. Polished to perfection too.

Big hubbub

@AfroMario It's inherently contradictory the stance some people have on this topic

@AfroMario The service provider is usually 'empowered' by the decision to offer a product and yet the consumer of said product is usually deemed a weird isolated, one dimensional figure who shouldn't be consuming said product. This 'vile' consumer being responsible for continuing the ever problematic objectification issue whilst also making the sexual entrepreneur a millionaire 🤔

The female gaze.

Most emotional game is Astro's ending. Made my daughter cry so much and I had to convince her Asobi would never do such a thing to that adorable little dude.
Definitely GOTY for me though.

Thankfully you said 'rizz'

It'll be great to see where the corners can be cut to shave off time. The Playroom levels had some pretty insane runs

@Sanquine In your world maybe but in mine it FAN.
Any more insubordination like that and I might have to GPUUUUUUUUU and tell you what to do.

Cue internet war on morality

@get2sammyb Yes that maybe so but

@Realist You're ahem...a bit over the hill to be joking about it.

Even by Edge magazine's harsh ratings system it's a easy 10. Watch Astro's fabulous dance at the end of the Final encore level and try telling him his hard work to entertain doesnt deserve top marks

From Soft should've put up a Botborne tweet

Make the little adorable Nenderoid figure available again. It's a whopping £350 on ebay!!
