@8th_Observer The article says 15-20 main plus another 15-20 side content.

@ShadowRJ You're supposed to ignore "A" and "The" when alphabetizing.

Chained Echoes was great...when I bought and played it 4 years ago. Nothing else here. I don't think I've actually played an Essentials game in months.

FOR ANYONE THAT NEEDS TO HEAR THIS, it will be available on YouTube SIX HOURS after it premieres on Netflix. Everyone will get to see it.

@Stevemalkpus 6 hours in point of fact. The outrage over that is so stupid.

PC has been disc free for years. Xbox hasn't said a word because they're doing the same thing. Nintendo is riding the line with GKCs, which can at least be sold and traded. Digital has been the path for a long time now and nothing is going to stop it. It's a dying format. if you want to quit your hobby because of it, that's up to you, but the doomsayers are basically inventing scenarios to make it all worse than it's going to be.

I think this one may have been for the best.

RIP to Hayden Panettiere, Kingdom Hearts' Kairi, who passed away today at 36.

This would be awesome. Just keep Aspyr far away from it. Don't even let them see the clip.

@ShogunRok Thank you for the clarification! Maybe there's some hope for that one, though this guy is a stain on the entire company for sure.

This is the same studio working on Jurassic Park Survival, right? Ugh.

I took the hit, everyone. I'm a big fan of all things Tolkien and Middle-earth, so I jumped on it. It's bad. And "solo optimized" is an outright lie. I was dead within minutes of the first mission because the AI companions just stood around while I got swarmed with orcs and pelted with arrows. Big regret on this one, and that's what I get.

@DennisReynolds I like everything about the Harry/Venom story, but felt like the Kraven B plot was kind of a waste of time.

I loved it. I thought gameplay and exploration felt a little smoother, and I appreciated the simple revenge story.

Is anyone else getting audio pops on base PS5?

@LifeGirl Because they have it budgeted now. Because they have birthday money to spend. Because they're excited about it. Why does it matter to you? I worked for EB Games years ago, and very rarely were pre-orders about running out, even with physical copies. It was for the same reasons as digital now.

@Ashina This is absolute misinformation. Single player offline games were completely accessible.

@naruball Except Japanese regulations on digital goods. Which Japanese consumers are aware of and used to. The only reason this is even news is because of Sony going all-digital, which isn't even related.

@The-punishr Does Sony even have anything to do with this? Isn't this between Rockstar and Japanese regulators?

@dskatter But that's unlikely to happen, right? What I imagine is unsold codes will be pulled, especially if they have regulations they're working with.

Okay, but why would you purchase the game and then not download it for 6 months?

@ShadowRJ I also think boutique labels, like someone becoming the Criterion or Arrow of video games, would be great. But I think in the end Sony doesn't want to have to manufacture a console with a disc drive once the PS6 rolls around, so they're going ahead and setting up their dominos to fall in that direction.

It's very well done, looks great and feels great, but I've also realized I've grown tired of AC's schtick. I think I need a multiyear break.

...But Injustice 3 is still coming, right?

@Logonogo Weird. If I look at the individual games they have the sale prices, but there's no thumbnail or landing page on the Deals tab showing the Summer Sale.

Anyone else still not seeing this sale in the US store?

Hey, I was just getting ready to purchase Citizen Sleeper 2 on my Switch 2. Everything else I either own or am not interested in, but I'll call that a win.

The original was enjoyable enough, but ran out of steam long before the unsatisfying end. It was very much The Outer Worlds But Make It Fantasy. I would much rather have another Fallout or, god forbid, a New Vegas remaster.

@Balaam_ To be fair, if you haven't cleared them in 15 years, it probably wasn't that important.

@LemanRusk Get used to disappointment.

@ShadowRJ I'm not sure why you're taking it personally. Buy what you want to buy. The physical buyers are the ones denigrating digital buyers through most of these comments.

@ShadowRJ I own a couple of hundred games and don't have a single stupid piece of plastic on my shelves.

CrossCode is good, but I've owned it for 6 years. No interest in the others. This year has been miss after miss for me.

Die-hard fan since the early days of the original PlayStation here: You can keep it.

The staggered drops just made me pay less attention to what was even available this month.

PC games have been digital only for years. Steam is massive. Baldur's Gate III didn't get a physical edition until the following year, and even then it was in limited quantities direct from Larian, and it won awards and sold like hotcakes. I didn't see article after article about that. There are tons of digital only games across all platforms. I guess I'm not completely grasping what the outrage is about.

I hope everyone speaking out against preordering or taking the time to proudly proclaim they have no interest in this game gets the fresh baked cookies they're clearly seeking.

Wolverine is going to be a massive seller no matter what. Laufey needs the marketing push to show people what it's about. Simple as that.

...Do these games have the same music as the mainline series?

She could have been petite without looking like a 13 year old.

I don't know about the horror angle, but Michelle Forbes back as Ro Laren definitely has my attention.

Can we please clean up this comment section? Christ, it has nothing to do with anything.

It looks great and I get to play as a bad ass Deborah Ann Woll. Sold.

Toy Story 3 for the PS3 is a legit great game. The main story is good, but I put a ton of hours into the toy box mode with my son. I'll pick this up at least, and maybe the collection as well.

@ATaco I'm a fan of both, and will definitely buy both. I don't mind them being spaced out a bit as I'm sure they'll be time sucks.

I still think the dialogue was a little long and flat. Hopefully the story is more engaging than the Octopaths.

Neat. Thaumaturge and Broken Sword for me.

What a horrible decision. And I thought Invincible Vs' 1 hour campaign was bad. I'm officially out.

I really enjoyed Mixtape, but it's absolutely not for everyone. It's an interactive narrative experience, which some people aren't into, and it also spoke to me personally as someone who was a teen in the mid 90s. Having said that, people weirded out by the kissing scene is strange to me. Teens make out. I have to separate them in my library all the time. And it's presented in the game as this awkward, kind of funny, kind of gross thing, which most first kisses are looking back. It's not remotely sexualized.

As a teen of the 90s some moments of this game hit really hard. A really well done experience all around.
