Probably for the best, isn’t it well *****?

It’s the art style for me, just seems so generic

China are on fire these days (assuming all these games play as good as they look)

Literally just finished Cronos last night, well good game - loving Blooper at the moment

Bethesda are pretty much finished aren't they? Just like Blizzard - it's been almost 15 years since they released anything decent

I’m well excited - haven’t played the original since it was released and Capcom can do no wrong with these remakes (okay maybe 3 was a bit disappointing)

@Rich33 thanks for the detailed reply!

Haha I am playing it right now actually. I found a “workaround” by closing the game fully every time I stop playing which seems to have fixed the worst of it

I'm not very clever when it comes to hardware specs and such but was disappointed that I still get big frame rate drops in Performance Mode on my PS Pro whilst playing WuKong - any chance this update fixes things like that?

I’m not surprised, it looked like a game that could have come out 6-7 years ago and maybe had attracted some interest

I work in IT, last week one of our servers went down and I had to work until midnight getting it fixed. I didn’t even think to have a massive tantrum and complain about “crunch”

Honestly, every article on this website now is unspecified people online whining about gaming companies they have no idea about working overtime or people who don’t know how AI is used having massive tantrums about it being used in games

Might need to take a few months off the site until this all calms down. I come here to read about new games, reviews etc.

I am well excited - I was a little disappointed in Baldurs Gate 3, not that it wasn't a good game but because it didn't really feel like Baldurs Gate.

Divinity Original Sin 2 was a 10/10 game though!

Jesus, 5 years?! I thought it came out in like 2023

I enjoyed it at first but soon realized there was no point approaching a mission doing anything but going in guns blazing so got a bit bored of it after a while.

The actual setting, characters etc were all great though

@Balaam_ this rant came out of nowhere but I agree haha

My only memory of Soul Reaver was having a copy I bought in Bali for $2 and then not knowing how to get out of the first area and giving up

@Deadlyblack I was going to say…15 years?? It only came out 10 years ago!

Then I checked and it’s a 17 year old game lol :/

@nessisonett There's literally thousands of AI companies, just because you worked for a bad one doesn't mean that we write it off altogether

AI in gaming is the new controversial topic for gamers with no real world experience to have massive tantrums about. Remember when everyone used to get upset at gaming companies going through "crunch times" in the lead up to releasing a game?
What happened to that? Just forgotten about that now because its time to get upset about something new.

AI is here to stay, in all industries and when used properly it saves a lot of time on repetitive tasks.

Might pick up Doom: Deluxe Edition

one for the wishlist!

Cautiously excited about Witcher 4 (even though it's probably 3-4 years away) as I loved Witcher 3 but I didn't enjoy Cyberpunk at all. Started off okay until I realized that even on the hardest difficulty, stats and skills didn't matter and you could just run in guns blazing

I like to do a run of Outlast every few years around Halloween!

Loving the return of these survival horror games after they seemed to die down during the 2010s.

Just finished the Dead Space REmake on Impossible mode last night! Looking at playing Tormented Souls next

Just got the Platinum for Rebirth last night - pushed me to the extreme.

I’m happy if the third game is still a couple years away !

Good news! I hope we get loads more Silent Hill games

Looks good! Love Little Nightmares - might wait for the DLCs to release though

Oh what, I literally just bought and finished Control a few weeks ago after having it on my wish list for years!

It's 2025 - who doesn't have access to the Internet pretty much 24/7 these days?!

I bet, in reality, less than 1% of people are actually upset

I never noticed any issues on my PS Pro but I also never understood the massive tantrums when Dragon Dogma was released either so probably not the best judge of performance issues in games

I’ve always wanted to get into the Yakuza games but the one I started to play had about 4 hours of cut scenes in the first 5 hours and I called it a day after that

From reading the article, it suggests the idea is replacing the Stars Reward program just to rile people up when really it's just a completely different rewards system that they are implementing.

Classic 2025 Journalism, better to get people angry for clicks then actually frame news correctly

@Dogbreath
Yeah that is a weird take by that other guy. There was one area in Lords of the Fallen which was completely unplayable for me when it was released as the Frame Rate dropped to about 10FPS. I didn't sit there and think "this is still a 9/10 game even though I can't progress any further".

(it is a 9/10 game though but that's because I waited until they patched it before playing)

We’ve come a long way since the days of trying to work out how to play as topless Lara Croft in Tomb Raider 1

Hopefully they can nail the Stalker enemy and make it feel fresh.

Mr X was absolutely fantastic but Nemesis felt very half arsed and then Lady Dimitri’s was a good enemy but didn’t really add anything new to the stalker element.

Fantastic show, prob about a 9/10

Looking forward to Lies of P and Resident Evil 9.

Nioh 3!!!!

Woooooo

Nice - the final fight is one of my all time favorites in any video game.

By the time I buy this game it's going to be well good

@gamer153 mate, that was like 25 years ago now - I think it's time to accept the new gaming landscape.

Not even sure what fictional past you are even referring to where games were released in perfect condition, without glitches.

Have my eye on this for when it goes on sale but I heard that the monster encounters are constant which could get annoying

Yeah Capcom have been on fire since Resident Evil 7

Doesn't a "Class" in Elden Ring basically just mean what starting equipment and stats you start with?

The first FromSoft (Souls Game) I have no interest in since I first picked up Demon Souls back in 2009!

I'm not even sure why, just hasn't peaked my interest at all.

Blimey! I was expecting better than that.

Might be time to get stuck in to Kingdom Come 2 instead.

But yes, I have a feeling this game is going to be fantastic

@Ainu20 path of exile 2 is in early access isn’t it? Did they have to get some kind of approval?

Christ sake, I just bought Dragon Age a couple weeks ago

I didn't really enjoy Cyberpunk after the first few hours.

The world, story, characters, graphics etc. were all 10/10 but I felt like the gameplay was quite poor.

I started off playing a stealthy spy type character, sneaking into areas unseen and taking down enemies quietly to finish the missions but then I realised that it was so much easier (even on the hardest difficulty) to just run in with an assault rifle and kill everybody.

Kind of took the fun out of it for me.

I actually like this idea. It’s better than Dragon Age Veilguard where it didn’t matter what dialogue option you chose, it would result in the same thing

What on earth is Marvel Rivals?

I thought it was really good. Came online, ready to discuss and hear what everybody else thought and it was just non stop whining.

Not going to bother anymore, just discuss it with one or two friends and leave it.
