I have a feeling we're going to see Expedition 33 sweep a lot of categories this year. I only played a little bit of it last spring/summer, but I need to keep playing.
For my GotY, it has to be Silksong. The game was so good and I loved the entire 70 hours I put into it.
I haven't played Death Stranding 2 yet since I'm waiting for a PC release, I want to play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, I liked Bananza but I kinda fell away from it without finishing it, haven't played Hades 2.
Jez Corden isn't exactly a reliable source for rumors so I have a hard time believing this. They're already expanding to mobile with the recent Horizon and Ratchet games, I don't see why they would pull back from their PC ports.
They also put out a job application for a senior multiplatform engineer not too long ago, to expand their reach to other platforms.
I finished Enotria last night, it's a fun souls-like, not the worst I've played but not the best.
Now I'm debating what to play next. I want to play Expedition 33, but I want to start Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, but I also want to try Middle Earth Shadows of War cause I played the first game years and years ago. But I also want to try Tunic.
The thing that bothers me is Activision is a billion dollar company, owned by a billion dollar parent company and Call of Duty is a billion dollar franchise.
Why the hell can't you pay real artists to draw and design the art, instead of resorting to free generative ai tools.
I'm excited for it. Valve supports open source software and it's running their OS which is similar to Linux. You'll be able to squeeze a lot of performance out of this, more then people realize. Thing is, Valve views it as a pc, not just a console, so it already has that advantage.
Massive congrats to the PCSX2 team. I remember the emulator struggling to play a lot of games like 10 years ago, and after trying some stuff on it recently, I was really surprised by how good it is.
I'm really hoping this means a possibility of console exclusives releasing on PS5 and PC simultaneously. I'm waiting for the PC ports of Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2.
Like I've said many times in the past few years, the games releasing on something like PC only helps Sony's profits, not hinder it. There will always be a market for consoles for people that just want a plug-n-play experience. Console won't just magically poof out of existence.
I like both remakes and remasters. Remakes are great to experience a game in a new way, kinda like FF7 Remake or even RE4 Remake with it's new mechanics and extra content.
I also like remasters cause they bring a game to modern platforms with a few QoL enhancements.
On that note, bring Demon Souls Remake to PC and Bloodborne Remaster to modern consoles/PC you cowards! yells at clouds
I decided to continue my save that I started July of 2024 for Metro Exodus. It's been a long while but I wanted to finally finish the game, so that's what I'll be playing.
I still love Wilds, it's a great game at the end of the day, but the bad optimization and Capcom not really addressing it is hurting it in the long run.
Which is a shame cause it's a genuinely fun MH title.
@Fiendish-Beaver When I was in high school, I wanted to be an animator for a game studio, but in retrospective, I'm glad I never got into the game industry.

Re: SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide (PS5) - A Decent Platformer, But Not Quite Ship Shape
I thought Cosmic Shake was a fun time and this sounds like it's more of the same, which is fine by me.

Way too many choices lol.
Re: Sony Trying to Silence Concord Revival Project After Fans Brought PS5, PC Disaster Back
Why not let people play on private servers, the game is already dead anyways.
Besides, if Sony doesn't like the game being brought back out into the limelight, maybe make better decisions.

Re: An Oversized Blade Is the Answer to All Your Problems in PS5, PS4 Metroidvania Gigasword
@LikelySatan Same, it's such a fun little gem of a game that's unfortunately stuck on the PS3.
Re: An Oversized Blade Is the Answer to All Your Problems in PS5, PS4 Metroidvania Gigasword
But is the sword as big as the sword in 3D Dot Game Heroes?
That's the real question.
Re: Promising PS5 RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker Looks Way More Polished in Huge Gameplay Demo

An MMO Horizon game sounds interesting. I'm curious to see how they do this.
Watched some of the trailer and I think it looks fun.
Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
I still love the design of the console. It's so different and kinda outlandish but that makes me love it even more.
Granted I built a new PC last year and used an all white tower, so there may be bias on my own taste for electronics, but who knows lol.
Re: New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced, But Not for the Platform You Want
If this wasn't on mobile, I would give it a try. Just good to see Ratchet games still alive after Rift Apart.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?
This felt more like the Indie Directs that Nintendo does; a smaller bitesized showcase that usually won't feature massive crazy reveals.
With that in mind, I thought it was good for what it is.
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign DLC Revealed as The Forsaken Hollows, Out 4th December
The two new characters sound fun and I'm super hyped to see my man Artorias return.
Also Shadow of the Erdtree content is coming as well. Can't wait.
Re: ARC Raiders Is a Confirmed Live Service Hit as Sales Top 4 Million, Player Count Rockets
I'm not much for extraction shooters but this game definitely has my attention. Looks fun from all the streams I've watched over the last week or so.

Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
Didn't expect a Japan focused state of play. Color me intrigued.
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
I feel like Yotei has the advantage in the gameplay department but I still think Tsushima has a better story overall.
But man, it's tough to say which is better cause they're both fantastic games.
Re: GTA 6 Delayed Again, Pushed Back to November 2026
Gotta delay the game to try and cover up how scummy their workplace environment is.
Re: Protests at GTA Developer After Sacked Staff Deny Leaking Confidential Info

Re: Open Source PS2 Emulator Now Plays Almost Entire Console's Library
Massive congrats to the PCSX2 team. I remember the emulator struggling to play a lot of games like 10 years ago, and after trying some stuff on it recently, I was really surprised by how good it is.
Re: Rumour: Crash Team Racing Could Be Making a Comeback, If This Strange Leak Is to Be Believed
I'm genuinely hoping we get a new CTR. I still hold out hope that they put Nitro Fueled on PC and release a ps5 patch for it.
Re: Pay $150 for a Ghost of Yotei Jacket in Sony's 'Rewards' Scheme Update
I have a feeling this isn't going to last long cause locking merch behind trophies is just going to hurt sales for the item in the end, obviously.
Re: Leaked Cross-Buy Icon on PS5 Hints at Mysterious Pro-Consumer Move from Sony
I'm really hoping this means a possibility of console exclusives releasing on PS5 and PC simultaneously. I'm waiting for the PC ports of Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2.

Actually a really cool game, I'll have to wishlist it.
@Foxhound I remember using MSN Messenger to message friends way back in elementary school.

Re: Yakuza 3 Remake Backlash Blows Up Again as Actor Guilty of Sexual Harassment Stars in New Trailer
Shame on RGG for turning a blind eye when there's tons of evidence of the actor being guilty.
But they can fire an employee for smoking marijuana.
Shame.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605

Re: ARC Raiders (PS5) - A Triumph in Multiplayer Immersion
I genuinely want to play this cause it looks really fun.
Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
Honestly it should be free and PS+ should house all of the extras that you can get from paying.
Re: Final Fantasy 7, Expedition 33 Prove There's Only Love Between RPG Rivals
If Expedition 33 is so good, then how come there isn't an Expedition 33 Remake Integrade?
Checkmate gamers.
Jokes aside, the art looks really nice.
Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (PS5) - An Almost Flawless Victory for Fighting Game Fans
Hopefully we can get another Legacy Kollection with some of the PS2 era MK games, but this is a great bundle of the older MK games.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Outer Worlds 2?
I had the first game on my Steam library for a few years but just never got around to playing it but I wouldn't mind hopping into the second game.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Doing So Badly That's It's Been Outsold by MH Rise, Devil May Cry 5
I still love Wilds, it's a great game at the end of the day, but the bad optimization and Capcom not really addressing it is hurting it in the long run.
Which is a shame cause it's a genuinely fun MH title.
Re: 'Maybe There Could've Been a Way to Make It Work': Hideo Kojima Didn't Know About Matrix Offer from the Wachowskis
I think Kojima could have done an awesome job with a Matrix game. A shame Konami didn't allow it to happen.
Re: For $1000, Maybe Get Married to Your Favourite Yakuza Character

Re: 'Significant' Layoffs Are Set to Hit Amazon Game Studios
What a massive shame, so many people losing their jobs. Hopefully they can all have a quick turn around on employment.
Re: EA's Game Development Is Very Quickly Becoming an AI-Driven Hellscape, Report Claims
Man this this f$@#&d and I feel bad for the employees having all of this shoved down their throats.

Re: Sony's Rumoured Handheld May Be Years Away, But Ghost of Tsushima Is Steam Deck Verified Now
I love my Steam Deck and it's good to see Tsushima get verified.
