@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!!

@get2sammyb Brother of Frank

Bah easy. Mastermind here we come

I'm guessing there's no trophy in Concord with the same message

@Yagami They're just too aesthetically unappealing for many people. I'd imagine many will instantly pick their phone up as soon as the non interactive cut scene rattles on and on.

Free DLC too. Plus I'm sure his coy smile when denying that he'd seen Rescue Mission running on a PSVR2 points to a port on the way

@Yagami I didn't dislike it either but it didn't land with many folk. At this current time however, I think it'd be far more wise than going for generic rip off tripe like this if they want to continue the live service push. Many folk loved Astro's Playroom for the PS cameos and something along those lines would work alot better. DLC could be Capcom, Namco characters etc.

@Yagami It was a dud but compared to this flop it's probably looked upon more favourably.

@Futureshark There are 34 rules when creating video games characters

Swap out all the characters and replace with 16 famous Playstation ones. From Alloy to Nathan Drake and beyond. They'd never do it but I'd bet a dollar that it would get more people to give it a go.

'If it bleeds...we can kill it'

@rusty82 I've no real investment in Star Wars but that review was as scathing as I've read in regards to a geniunely well received title.

I doubt it's going to be as brutal as EG's assessment

I'd love to get both the Astro Gacha and that massive pinball machine they had a the Champions League Final in London. Just need to find a spare £30k and a mansion to house it in. Feel free to donate to this worthy cause.

The Valkyrie really is an astonishing piece of machinery.

Took 30 seconds for me to find an opponent

Looks fun so it'll be on the list

@TrickyDicky99 I'd say that they've sent it out to die and they'll quickly move on to some other gadget that'll sadly flop

Theres nothing quite as incompetent as human incompetence

Prince of Persia looked terrible. No charm, no personality, nothing at all.

@dschons Not sure if you played Nioh 1 or 2 but they're my personal favourite Souls like. In some of the combat mechanics they're better than From titles

Theres paying homage and then there's ripping off

It's so advanced that you can even sit in your living room right next the the wall socket to keep it constantly plugged in so the 2hr battery life doesn't capitulate.
