I legit thought Strands had something to do with Death Stranding or Kojima, but here it's a NYT game lmao.

The awards are nice and all but I like seeing the game reveals, it's what makes the show interesting and actually worthwhile to watch.

I only played like an hour of Lil Gator Game, but the DLC essentially doubling the game's size is super cool.

This looks amazing. As a long time Banjo fan, I wish we could get something from the bear and bird.

Despite the shortcomings the game may have, it's still really fun to play. I'm looking forward to the expansion when it releases.

I never actually played any of the games in the series but I wouldn't mind giving them a try sometime.

I wouldn't mind giving the game a shot when it's on sale, the environments look really wacky and fun to look at.

Glad to see Nine Sols getting some recognition, the game is fantastic.

I really want to get around to playing Chrono Trigger. It's one of those games that I think I played like 5-10 minutes of when I was a kid but never gave it a longer chance.

I opted into the beta on Steam this morning and the file size was reduced from 135 gb to about 24 gb.

Nixxes are wizards and they worked their magic and I'm super grateful, the game was getting so bloated lol.

Honestly I'm glad RGG won't change the core of the series moving forward, I love how wacky and cheesy the games can get to counter balance the serious tone. It adds so much to their charm.

I read the Bloomberg article this morning. It's really sad to hear Yacht Club are struggling. I genuinely hope Mina sells well for them, I even backed the game on Kickstarter a few years ago.

The fire mage and stealth hacker definitely feel the most ai to me.

The pixel art is genuinely beautiful, they always knock that aspect out of the park.

I could see it like 15 to 20 years ago, where sequels were being released about 2-3 years after the initial releases, but I don't know about nowadays.

I mean, I'd love Bloodborne to come back or even Half-Life 3, but I have no idea what it's supposed to represent.

I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing this feature more on the site.

Continue playing the metroidvania game called Constance. It's fun and has a good art style. Once I'm finished with that I may finally continue Expedition 33.

Really cool that it still stars Frank West, I'm glad he'll be back

@Clytorial_Impact lol time can be a bit deceptive at times. Crazy when you think about it.

If it were up to me, remake MGS1 similar to Delta and release MGS4 on a Volume 2 collection along with Peace Walker.

I haven't played MGS4 in probably 15 years and I've only played a teensy bit of Peace Walker when it initially released.

I've tried this in vr on the beta branch on Steam a while back and it's super unsettling. I can't imagine how it would be on the oled panels the psvr2 has.

The mini games sound really fun and fitting for the orphanage section.

Congrats to Bloober. Bringing out a new horror ip can be tough sometimes but I'm glad it's selling well for them.

The game has a few decent ideas going for it from what I've seen via streams of it, it just needed more time and some ideas needed to be reworked.

But that's just my opinion from what I've seen and not personally played.

The game is my most anticipated on the list, so let cdpr cook.

I played through the game around this time last year and it's fantastic. I didn't play it at launch a few years ago so I never experienced that whole thing, but the game is great now.

I'm not 100% surprised it's being delisted in favor for the Director's Cut cause Sega delisted a bunch of their retro games over on Steam a year or so ago. At least there's a cheaper upgrade path.

Lies of P is hands down the best soulslike game not made by From Soft. I loved my time with it, and I have confidence their next game will be great.

I legit forgot about this game lol. But hey, here's to hoping the trailer is great.

Let's gooooo, I've been waiting for the PC release to finally play this.

It's been a good console but I feel the games haven't reached the crazy heights that we had for previous gens. Being backward compatible with the PS4 is one of it's biggest strengths.

That and I do love the look of it.

The content in the warbond is cool but I haven't touched the game in a long while due to how shoddy the game's performance has gotten, and the fact that Arrowhead does nothing to mitigate the inflated file size on PC.

@DennisReynolds That reminded me that you could get Altair's outfit in MGS4.

Wait, it was announced back in 2021? Holy hell, it feels like it was announced in like 2023.

Well, here's to hoping it's good cause I do love the original Sands of Time.

I do like the art style for this game, it feels very "gross '90s" and I'm okay with that.

Super random crossover but it's disappointing the cool looking equipment is locked behind the DLC.

Selling over 1 million copies in 3 days is no easy feat, so good on Shift Up.

The game is genuinely fun to play though.

On another note, the port being really well polished helped too.

@Northern_munkey The games that have good ports are praised on Steam.

Ghost of Tsushima's port was even nominated for two awards for the Steam Awards last year and Steam just featured a Playstation sale banner on the front of the store page and used Tsushima as a game advertising the Steam Deck. I just have a hard time swallowing the pill of Sony backtracking on pc ports. It's still sales and additional revenue for the them and the devs, and since they won't do day on day for new releases, it still gives people an extra incentive to buy the consoles and invest into Sony's ecosystem. The brand is too strong and the convenience of a console won't be undermined by having their games available on a later date on pc.

Apologies for going on a tangent, I usually don't but it's something on my mind about this whole thing.

Honestly, people on PC want the ports to be good ports. If the port is terribly optimized, people won't buy it until it gets fixed/on sale. When games like Spidey 2 and Last of Us were ported to PC, the ports were pretty rough on release and that hurts sales.

Yet when Stellar Blade released on PC, that port was fantastic and the game sold well.

I plan on getting one cause I can use it for other things that aren't exclusive to gaming, since I have my PC for that.

I'm so glad I built my pc last year before all of this stuff happened. Able to get my parts for a decent price.

It is good that they are working on it. But I'm glad the article highlights RPCS3, they've been doing a lot to improve the emulator over the last few years.

The art on the vinyls looks really good, gotta admit.

Looks like they're ticking a lot of the right boxes based on the trailer. Curious to see more of the game in the future.

I've been waiting on picking this up on pc due to letting the devs iron out more of the technical issues.

I've listened to a few of his videos before so it's really cool he's writing a lore book about it.

Really weird that they force online co-op for the campaign.

I could see a surprise demo drop during the Game Awards after a new trailer.

Really curious to see what will be shown off.
