Remember folks, even if this beta is really good. DO NOT buy this game till its out. DICE has lost the right to take pre-orders.

I played the demo a few weeks ago on steam. I wasn't really feeling it. Maybe good reviews will convince me to try it again.

@LifeGirl During the event they had the developers kept saying "We are listening to the fans". Which bothers me because yeah, no ***** you should be listening to the fans. It took 2 entire failure games for them to finally say "gee, maybe we should ask the fans what they want". Selling anything 101

It does look good but I've been fooled before... multiple times by Battlefield so I will be waiting a week or 2 after release before deciding to buy it.

I'll never get over the fact that PVZ 1 was so damn good and they put out an insane microtransaction mess as the second one. Such a waste.

If Wolverine shows up in this game imma lose it.

@TimeDelayedGamer If this law is "needlessly authoritarian" you can also argue age restrictions on cigarettes, alcohol and drugs are. You could also argue that having to register to buy is gun is "needlessly authoritarian". Or to get a drivers licence. Or to vote. Yes kids still get alcohol and cigarettes. But we have had laws for decades that require ID for it and it hasn't been some crazy slippery slope to authoritarianism. There is a weird, desperate defence for porn these days. Its never for the reasons people say. Its because people are addicted and they are ashamed they might have to admit it by registering.

@TimeDelayedGamer I will never understand this mentality "Well they will get their hands on it anyways so why bother". So why do we bother having age restrictions on alcohol, cigarettes or drugs? By your logic they will get it anyways right? If people are so hard up to watch porn they can confirm their age. Just like they do for many other things in society. You willingly give your information to endless amounts of ***** online already so I don't buy this "information will be stolen" argument.

@Olmaz I think the people who claim porn isn't bad for kids are porn addicts themselves and use it as a defence mechanism to justify their addictions. Porn is bad for kids, period. Excessive porn is bad for society in general. I grew up in the 90's. If my horny teen self had the access kids have today I would never have left my house. Something needs to be done.

@LifeGirl It emboldened them to want to make money again.

Bro you can give me as many Resident Evil/Deadspace style games as you can and I'll be as happy as a clam.

@tangyzesty A few things in Shadows really annoyed me. The motivations of the characters were so up and down. Like why would Naoe be so willing to work with Yasuke after what he did? Also the ties to the greater universe of assassins was weak as hell. So its a bunch of abandoned assassin's bureaus again...? Just like in Valhalla... A small mention of Ezio in Rome... Its just so lazy and low effort.

Ghosts on the other hand, the story is beautifully told with very deep and interesting characters who all have arcs. The combat remained fun and challenging the entire game. In AC you eventually become so powerful nothing is a challenge...

I'm genuinely curious what you found better about Shadows?

I finished Shadows when it came out and I'm replaying Ghost of Tsushima right now because I never did the DLC. It's honestly disgusting how much better Ghost is. Shadows feels like some kid hastily copied the smart kids homework.

@Questionable_Duck I think that's the exact vibe they are going for. Even the graphics look like Half-Life 1 graphics.

This looks like exactly what it needs to be. Dumb fun.

To be realistic. Having the opportunity to create the next "Mahvel" game is a much more lucrative and important project for the fighting game community.

Why not? Who would really throw a fit at this point.

I'm kind of glad we are back to sexy costumes for both women and men.

Thats weird I would have at least thought Stranger Than Heaven was next year because of how fast RGG gets their games out.

This is a really smart move by Xbox. As it stands now I'm not planning on getting a PS6. Why would I? Sony has made it clear they don't believe in generations. So I'm sure 95% of the new games will be playable on my PS5 Pro. As for the exclusives, they will be out on steam eventually and I can get them at that point. The game is changing and I don't think Sony is ready for where its going.

Weird. Its like people WANT a big E3 type showing of new game reveals... Who would have thought?

I love the anime style flair that all the characters have. Such a labour of love.

Wait so there was this Black Panther game and another Captain America and Black Panther game being made? No offence but Black Panther isn't that compelling to have 2 games being developed.

I was kind of bummed when they announced MK1 because their last game was MK12. I wanted Injustice.

I know for me specifically I've lost general hype for Playstation over the years. That is due to the low key marketing they are doing. I play on everything and will say Xbox still keeps the hype up their consistency with directs and showcases. Take the Ghost of Yotai release announce for example. Can you get any more anti climactic than that? Show us things Sony! We want to be excited!

What even is a Playstation Showcase at this point? Say what you want about Xbox but we still, every year, get a big fun showcase in June. Keeping that old E3 energy alive is a huge + in my book.

Jade Raymond. Continuing her long journey of irrelevance.

Don't worry Sucker Punch. At least you aren't Ubisoft...

Yep, bigger and more expensive games. That's our criteria that you should follow... Excuse me while I get back to Expedition 33 which is one of the best games I've played in the last decade...

I really wish that Steam wouldn't allow reviews to early access games. No Rest For The Wicked has lots of potential and its getting better all the time. But I won't write a review for something that isn't officially released. review bombing positive or negative an unreleased game should not be possible.

I already don't have time to finish all the games I want to play. More 12-15 hour games please.

For me its going to depend on the writing. If the humour is super cringe like the last one I might skip it.

Good call not showing cringe humour. Focus on the game.

I would gladly have paid for the upgrade to play this from the PS+ copy they gave. But since they want full price you get NOTHING, good day sir.

Why did Oblivion have to come out... I want to play this too.

@Pixipantalon Well to be fair to me the Outlaws that exists now would never have happened. I would have just pitched a pre episode 4 Han Solo game. Sorry if some people were so enamoured with the oh so interesting Kay Vess... but a similar game with Han Solo would have certainly sold better and been received better.

We get to team up with Hondo?! Who the ***** is Hondo?? Heres a crazy idea. How about teaming up with Han Solo? Hire me Ubisoft we will make some money.

Now this is my kind of game. Knowing that ex-Firaxis people are working on it is even better. I loved Midnight Suns but cmon... we need another Xcom.

I wouldn't spend more than 39.99 for this. And that would be after positive reviews hit. Also here's a crazy thought. Why don't they include the first battle pass for free. Just throw people a bone and give them a reason to keep playing that doesn't involve reaching into their wallets right away.

Thank god. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is totally overrated and has been handed to many things that she should not be involved in.

I still don't understand the point of a random shadow drop? Xbox has a crazy lineup for the next couple months. Why not hold Oblivion and drop it during the June spotlight?

Lot riding on this being good.

I've played every AC game. Shadows was profoundly disappointing. The 2 character system was just annoying because each was half a regular AC character. Had lots of problems with the story and characters motivations. No way to mediate or wait to move time along. So half the game is pitch black which sucks because the game does look good so arriving in a new town in the dead of night was just lame.

Not for 700$ Canadian... These new consoles are way too expensive and Mario Kart is not good enough to sell a new console.

Hopefully its enough to keep them going. I know they are not making enough money off me. I bought a month of Ubi+ and I'm playing Shadows, Outlaws, Prince of Persia and possibly Mirage. Then cancelling.

AC shadows is really disappointing. Each character is half of a character. You used to be able to sneak and if you get caught you can fight your way out. Naoe can not fight well. Yasuke can fight really well but he can't stealth or climb things. It is so frustrating. I give it a 6.

Good thing they spent so much wasted time developing Last Of Us online just to realize "oh *****! we need to support this thing?!?!?!" dummys...

Very weird to compare steam all time numbers of Valhalla with Shadows. Valhalla didn't launch on steam so obviously the all time players for that would be lower. Its not a flex for Shadows to beat that...

They forgot the first and most fundamental part of making a Saints Row game. Fun...

@Pandalulz Sacred Symbols is certainly an acquired taste. But take it from me I was all in on many many gaming podcasts and Sacred Symbols is one of the best. Back in the late 2000's I listened to Gamespots On The Spot, many different 1up podcasts, and of course the Giant Bombcast. I've been a patron of Last Stand since it started and I love all of their podcasts. 5 dollars a month is a steal for how much you get. And damn some of the interviews Colin gets are crazy. He's had Ken Levine on twice and did 2 hours with Shuhei Yoshida.
