I feel like this is going to be a weekly/daily thing where new X game faces accusations of AI. As i said before like it or not its here to stay so better get used to it.

I know Clair Obscur, Kingdom Come 2, Ball X Pitt and Ghost of Yotei are my top 4 but i'm still trying to place my 5th game. Its been a stacked year for sure and there's at least 5-6 games i could put as my 5th.

@Flaming_Kaiser Fun thing i was watching a video on Soul Caliber 3 this morning and on the PS2 there exists two game breaking bugs. One completely kills the competitive side of the game and another will just straight up corrupt and kill your save, both of these are dead easy to trigger.

See here's the thing that people like you forget patches did exist in the PS2 era its just you had to buy a new version of the game to get it. This happened often where later prints of games would have updated and fixed files. You also got to remember PS2 games were far easier to make then PS5 games shocker i know.

I will now wait until next year before i get a reply to this after i've long forgotten about it again 🙄

@HotGoomba We knew about the AI usage not long after launch. They lied to the Indie award thing not the playerbase.

@GloriosaDaisy What heavy lifting? Place holder textures got accidently left in and were then quickly patched out with the intended textures. I agree they shouldn't win this due to lying and breaking the rules but to call this "AI generated garbage" is just insanely hyperbolic as well as being completely and utterly wrong.

@GloriosaDaisy Nothing in the game is AI generated except a couple of place holder textures that were very quickly patched out for real handmade ones soon after launch.

Playing devils advocate i wouldn't be shocked if Sandfall thought because no gen AI was in the final release (except what they quickly patched out) it allowed them to considered but not understanding the rules are no gen AI full stop even if the final release is free of it.

The higher you climb the harder you fall and people do love when god bleeds.

My opinion is well is what it is and AI like it or not is not going any where. The working conditions is what i'm more interested in giving how Larian loves boasting about how saintly they are and calling out others who aren't.

Divinity 2 as its now on PS5 and was offer for £12.50. Always been meaning to play it especially after BG3 so now its on PS5 and going for such a cheap price i decided to jump on it and so far so great. Can't comment too much as i haven't played much but yeah its what i expected from Larian.

Its really cool that Todd and Bethesda are heavily involved with the show and treat it as something vital in Fallout canon.

@LazyDaisy Where have you been for the last 10 years? This has been pretty common for years now. I mean Jedi Fallen Order, Death Stranding, The Callisto Protcool, both Ghost games and hell even Nathan Drake himself is based on Nolan North's face.

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr Yeah almost like games are more complicated to make nowadays and require more time and money to make.

@Balaam_ Yeah how dare they play to the popular trope of space fairing women being bald or the fact her actress is bald. Did you take issue with Ripley in Aliens haven't short boyish hair? Or Ripley being bald in Alien 3?

Its cringe at times and does feel more like an ad show then award show but honestly i enjoy watching it, its the closest we get to E3 and it does feel like passion and work goes into it. Geoff doesn't get enough credit for keeping things like this still going.

Its a good game but very much carried by the IP. Still its nice to see a single player game with zero MTX or even DLC do insanely well.

@Deljo Well comment sections were turning into warzones with both sides acting toxic to each other.

Self publishing is the thing that should make it an Indie but at the same time its quite that simple nowadays. Personally i wouldn't have picked E33 for best indie because of the fact it had a publisher.

It is what it is but if anyone will be ethical with it its Larian.

@Losermagnet2 CRPG's don't really work if its not turn based.

I'm more interested in the game then trophies to be honest.

With Arc Raiders killing it i can't see this doing well at all.

@captainsandman I will also say the game is in a fairly good state right now. Its still buggy but not game breaking and the bugs are more minor then major and performance is really good through does drop in the more busy settlement places.

So far they're doing everything right. Amazon are clearly going all in with Tomb Raider and i'm all for it.

@captainsandman The big engine upgrade isn't until next year.

@Traman500 Yeah i've been wondering that. Its a high profile game so its weird they haven't reviewed it.

@MrHabushi Camilla is English. Her Lara voice is her real voice.

As a new Switch 2 owner its Pokemon ZA, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong for me.

@tameshiyaku Do you have this issue with Indy? Nathan Drake? The Brenden Fraiser Mummy films? Or is the fact they're male means they get a free pass? Tomb Raider has never been problematic. Seriously where were you in the Uncharted and Indy articles talking about this?

@Chip-Douglas Unrealistic? What compared to Survivor Lara who had a mountains worth of injuries that should have killed her way before her first kill?

@Exerion76 The new Lara is sexy so why post this?

@Boxmonkey She works for FBI she's not a journalist at all. Also the irony of complaining about "girlbosses" while talking about RE is hilarious.

@tameshiyaku Dude don't dance and cower around the subject just tell me what you really think.

Here's what i can see from official sources and the trailers. The return of older more experienced Lara, a return of a snarky cocky Lara, a return of Duel Pistols, a return of more typical Lara clothing (the Underworld Wetsuit is even free if you link an Amazon account) and finally a return of actual tomb raiding and exploring lost kingdoms. So yeah its pretty clear they are going back to classic TR.

@tameshiyaku You based all of this drivel on what exactly? Both games are clearly going back to classic TR.

She sounded good as Lara from what we heard.

@LifeGirl The Switch 2 had the biggest console launch ever despite many of its games being ports and having Switch 1 versions. "Normies" don't pay attention to this stuff like us.

Well deserved in my opinion.

Can't believe they ended with this.

Could have done without cast being loud and obnoxious on stage. I loved when flicked to the very unimpressed audience and Troy Baker looking like he's thinking "who are these assh*oles" 😂

Can't wait for both. The remake looks excellent and Lara looks stunning as hell. Its been too long but the Queen is finally back.

It was good but other then Tomb Raider, RE9 and the two Star Wars games i was pretty underwhelmed by most of it. The fact they ended on a F2P hero shooter as the big reveal is hilarious.

Nice seeing E33 win everything and Evanescence were amazing with Amy sounding incredible as always.

E33 deserved all of its awards but it did get boring knowing it was going to win any award it was nominated for. Glad Jennifer English won through as she was incredible in the game, she looked stunning on stage and her speech was lovely.

@nessisonett Madonna was in Die Another Day as well, terrible in it but her song for it is excellent.

The remake looks fantastic and Lara is looking stunning. The Queen of gaming is finally back 😁

Why him? His acting work is terrible.

@HRdepartment That's more Chris thing 😅

That was Dylan? Talk about redesign. Hyped as its Remedy and Control is excellent.

The Daddy is back baby 😁😁😁
