Its almost laughable reading through comments and gamers questioning a corporation's financial forecast. I'm pretty sure they expected 5M units based on how much they spent developing this game. Sure, let's just make a $200B game and hope it ships 500,000 units. Consumers & spectators, please stay in your lane LMAO. Everyone wants high end graphics, but it comes at a cost and risk, and this happened to be a bust. Its no surprise why low risk indie games are on the rise.
Having alot of fun with this one. Very laid back platformer that's clearly influenced by Crash Bandicoot. Perfect game to play in between bigger titles.
I have some nostalgia for the Atari but alot of these games aren't for me in the present day. However, the presentation and documentary-like aspects alone are worth the recommendation for anyone who cares about the history behind ATARI, and the video games industry in general.
I don't play COD, but these are excellent choices. Ghostwire Tokyo had some of the best side quests this year. Some of them were literally laugh out loud funny to me.
I look forward to jumping back into this world. I want to do a no side quest playthrough. When I played this last, I got so lost in the side quests that I lost track of the story.
I was worried this game was going to be a "samey" sequel, but after 40 hrs in (playing in hardest difficulty), this definitely exceeded all expectations.
The cover is cool to me, and pretty much confirms Luke's central role in the game. Whining entitled gamers are the worst. Let's just put Ken & Ryu charging a fireball to make everyone happy.
@Uncharted2007 Speaking for myself, the nomination put the game on my radar. All is not lost. Nominations are a form of recognition when you realize how many games didn't make it to the stage.
@Northern_munkey Very condescending! Yet, you continue to prove my point over and over again. I don't know (or care) about where you stand with Last of Us Part 1. I personally skipped the game myself due to lack of interest, but the fact that you feel complaining about something you can simply skip is pure entitlement. There's gonna be lots of non-gamers checking for The Last of Us Part 1 after the show starts on HBO, and I understand that 1. its going to make SONY more money than a Bloodbourne remake, and 2. i'm not the audience for this game. You my friend, are an entitled gamer, and you should just embrace it. There's nothing wrong about it, and I won't look down on you bc of it.
This looks good for what it is & the FF7 fan in me can't skip this. I definitely want this on PS5, but I'm also interested in seeing how this game performs on the Switch.
@Hundred_Hand_Slap Dead Space has been dormant since 2013. The Last of Us has been rereleased twice since 2013. Familiarity breeds contempt. I do feel The Last of Us Part 1 has received a lot of unwarranted hate from entitled gamers though.
I expected this game to be like Dead Space, but the game definitely needs to have its own identity if it wants to make a legitimate splash as AAA experience (especially with Dead Space Remake right around the corner). I'm still interested in this game as a AAA survival horror games are slim pickings, but I won't pay more than $30 for this. Something seems very off from the gameplay i've seen.
@thefourfoldroot1 I'm personally burned out from the superhero oversaturation myself, but from a gaming perspective, owning a PS5 & skipping Insomniac titles would be a big mistake. They've been on fire since launch. Not asking you to agree with me, but I'm just saying.
This might be the worst game of all time. Sure it plays well & its game design is perfectly fine, but it really shows the many reasons why I dislike people in general. LOL, I mean that with all my heart.
@Robocod I came here to say this is expected with how DOTEMU handled the PS5 Dragon's Trap game. I guess if Streets of Rage 4 comes to PS5, we'll know exactly what to expect.
@brazzios_84 There was no upgrade path for P5 from PS3 to PS4 (there was such an upgrade program for these in the past), no upgrade path from PS4 Vanilla to P5R, and now no upgrade path for PS4 P5R to PS5 version. The bottom line is, this shouldn't surprise anyone. I'm personally not buying this game for a 3rd time.

Re: Insomniac Raises Pulses with Unprompted Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 GIF
Entitled gamers crying about Miles inclusion? Pathetic.
It looks like after The Last of Us Pt. 2 & GOW: Ragnarok, SONY has been going for 2 or more arching stories. I'm digging it.
Re: Fans Are At War with Street Fighter 6's PS5, PS4 Box Art
@ralphdibny I was thinking the same. This is going to get at least 2 more additions with different box art.

Re: Dead Space PS5 Looks Like a Remarkable Remake
@Northern_munkey LOL if the shoe fits wear it. My opinion stands. No one is telling you to buy it, and games aren't solely made for you.
