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.

Doesn’t sound like my cup of tea

Already pre ordered! The first one was up there as my game of the year last year 😄

@dskatter haha hiyas

I don’t know anyone that buys physical games anymore although I always see a lot of people complaining online when a game doesn’t get a “physical release” - I’ve always assumed they were in the minority

@LuXifer in the same boat unfortunately, picked up DD2 on release and just couldn’t get into the new style. It’s a shame because the graphics and animations are much improved.

@Jacko11 haha yeah - I think it’s just mostly people who don’t have any real life experience.

Nearly every job is going to have times during the year where you might have to work extra hours for a few weeks to get something done. If you work for a good company, you’ll get rewarded for it.

So many good games but need to give a shout out to Tails of Iron 2! The first one was so good and came out of nowhere! I don't even remember why I decided to play it.

@Balaam_ it’s not too bad from what I can see! There is a couple of missable ones you need to be wary of though

I genuinely didn’t even realize that Bloodbourne had “performance issues” until a couple years ago when people calling for a remaster was plastered absolutely everywhere.

Played it back in 2016 and it was a 10/10 game. I would absolutely lose it if they announced a Bloodbourne 2 but really don’t have interest at all in some kind of remaster.

Ooo good news! I’m well keen for some more Dynasty Warriors after that mess they released with 9

@Almost_Ghostly

Haha Jesus, I guess I must have just signed up one day without really paying attention.

I didn’t even know what Stars were until I saw an article a few weeks ago on here about it and noticed I had enough points to buy Stellar Blade

Was a nice surprise

I loved The Last Revelation. I remember sneaking into the library in my Primary School and printing out 100 pages of the Gamefaqs walkthrough then running home to play all weekend
