Shadows drop are great when your games are broken and have many issues and you don't want reviewers and streamers highlighting that prior to release like with the Oblivion remake.
@Flaming_Kaiser Yeah it should be like the "good ole days" where if the game was broken you were expected to buy a later print of the game that might have a fix.
Dude games are more complicated then ever now, its actually not that simple to just release a "finished" version on release. Its kinda funny actually because the original Stalker that released during the "good ole days" was also pretty broken and needed a lot of fixing. Ever hear the term "Euro Jank"? Yeah that's whats Stalker ultimately is and there's a reason why that term exists.
Yeah licencing, legal issues and publishers consent all play a role. I've wondered why the 3D Mortal Kombat games aren't on Plus but it could be WB don't want them on Plus.
@SeaDaVie UK sales mean jack as they don't account for digital. I would love for BF6 to beat COD but BO7 will most likely be the best selling game of 2025 like almost always.
But the chuds and incels said it was going to flop though and that the boycott would work because women and Erika being LGBTQ+. 😂😂😂 Glad to see its doing very well as its excellent.
@KillerBoy Giving the size and scope of the game and the fact the devs are fighting a war while making the game its fair to say that would never happen. Be thankful it could be like the PS2 days where you screwed if bugs appeared.
@somnambulance We can't like everything. I remember when Skyfall released it was being called one of the best Bond films ever and that the villain in it is an all time great. Me? i thought Skyfall was awful, i thought Craig phoned it in and i thought the villain was a hammy Ledger Joker rip off. I'm clearly in the minority there but it is what it is.
@somnambulance I'm sure there's people that feel The Dark Knight is overrated, The Godfather is overrated, Empire Strikes Back is overrated, Red Dead 2 is overrated, Baldur's Gate 3 is overrated, Moby Dick is overrated, The Lord Of The Rings is overrated and so on and so on. Doesn't change the fact their all masterpieces and will outlive us all.
@Oram77 Look at this way it doesn't matter how good your performance is when you're in the same best acting category as Daniel Day Lewis for his performance in There Will Be Blood. She might be incredible in Silent Hills F but sadly she's up against Ben Starr and Jennifer English who gave the performance of their careers in E33.
The whole "redemption arc" trend of this Gen has been insanely annoying. Just because Hello Games and CDPR pulled it off doesn't mean it gives you the excuse to purposely do the same, they were meant to be exceptions not the new norm.
@BamBamBaklava89 I put it above DS2 myself but it was never getting a GOTY nom. Year is too stacked and Geoff will never have a Kojima game not in the running.
E33 sweeps for me other then best RPG what goes for KC2 for me. Hard to pick between Ben Starr and Jennifer English for best performance, both were incredible with Starr even converting me to a fan his now but i picked Jennifer English as her voice is spellbinding and enchanting.
@Questionable_Duck Both. The staff of PX are very questionable when it comes to Xbox and its why i rarely go on there. I remember getting banned for 2 days by them because i got into an argument with someone else on there, we both in the wrong but they got off scott free simply because they were on the side of Xbox.
@Snick27 So salty 😂 The games a hit deal with it. Most don't care about the reasons chuds, grifters and incels have with the game. Erika is going to get way more roles now and i'm happy for them and laughing at those against them.
@TheArt It doesn't because PS4 and X1 don't support RT and certainly can't run RT. The consoles would frigging melt and run in single digits if you got RT running on them 😅.

Re: Don't Expect Intergalactic PS5 to Launch Until at Least 2027
I will take Jason's word over anyone else. Never expected next year anyway.

Its amazing that MS of all things never saw this coming.

Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Is One of the USA's Best-Selling Games of 2025
@StitchJones Intergalactic will be huge as ND games always are. The haters are always a small minority.
Re: Expedition 33, Ghost of Yotei Have Started Scooping Up GOTY Awards
Nice to Jennifer English and Ben Starr will their much deserved awards. Also nice to see Blue Prince win best indie as its fantastic.

Re: Oct 2025 USA Sales: 2025's Best Seller Is Battlefield 6, the Biggest Game in Series History
@SeaDaVie and yet BO7 will still outsell BF6. People really need to stop competing these games as BF will never beat it.
Re: Oct 2025 USA Sales: 2025's Best Seller Is Battlefield 6, the Biggest Game in Series History
@SeaDaVie CoD just launched we don't know how well its done yet. I expect very well as always.

Re: A Technical Mess without It, STALKER 2's Day 1 PS5 Patch Is Critical
1.7 is the default for digital version for those wondering.
Re: Huge Ghost of Yotei PS5 Patch Drops Next Week, Adds New Game+, Items, and More
Transmog would be nice though.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 UK Sales Plummet 61% Compared to Black Ops 6
It would be nice to see BF6 actually dent COD a tiny bit especially with how bad BO7 is meant to be.

Re: The Lost Soul Aside Redemption Arc Starts in Tomorrow's Feature-Packed PS5 Update
@ShadowRJ Nah it had other big issues like the comically bad police system and tons of useless leveling perks.

Re: Rumour: An Xbox Partner Showcase Is Imminent, Will Be Announced 'Very Soon'
@Questionable_Duck PQ should cover it as MS are a 3rd party publisher now. PX won't cover stuff as they're a bunch of fanboys on there.
Re: PS5 RPG Where Winds Meet Makes a Strong Start with Two Million Players
At 111GB i decided to avoid downloading it especially when Stalker 2 will set me back 150gb tonight.
Re: Mobile MMO Horizon Steel Frontiers Seems to Have Captured Lots of Attention Already
If its a success i expect a PS5 port and maybe even Xbox could happen. These types of games always launch first on mobile and PC.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 607
Finishing up the Platinum for Yotei so i'm free for Stalker 2 next week.
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
Its as much threat as the Steam Deck is to the Switch
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@StitchJones RDR has actually aged pretty well. Between 60fps and much higher res the game still looks pretty good.
Re: Horizon MMO Uses AI 'Extensively' in Development, Says NCSOFT
Yuck 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. Hope this doesn't infect Sony's 1st party output.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@darylb24 Saw and pretty shocked to be honest. Maybe there's a small chance RDR2 gets a free upgrade now
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@StitchJones I own the PS4 version as i wanted to replay it at 60fps. I'm many double dipped especially as the PS3 version can't be played on PS4/PS5.
Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for December 2025 Announced
Wait its a free upgrade from R*? Never expected that but i won't complain.
Re: Fallout Season 2 Heads to New Vegas in New Trailer, Debuts 17th December
Can't wait as the first season was excellent.
Re: The Brilliant Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Has Now Sold Over 4 Million Copies
If not for E33 this would be my GOTY.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 on Its Way to PS5, New Age Rating Suggests
I hope its a free upgrade for those own the PS4 version but knowing R* i doubt it.
Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO for Mobile and PC, Prompting Fury from PS5 Fans
@MrStark Less exclusives? Not really, their line up isn't that much different to last gen.
Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO by NCSOFT for PC, Mobile
@JAMes-BroWWWn Sony will be burnt? What by a "console" that won't even sell 10M units? Ok sure 🙄
Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO by NCSOFT for PC, Mobile
Another MMO that will most likely die sooner or later.

Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Surpass 3.3 Million Units, Crush Boycott Nonsense
The salt here is brilliant. Glad its done really well as its fantastic and is easily in my top 5 of the year.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Now the Fourth Best Selling Game Ever, Still Chained to PS4 at 30FPS
@Gremio108 I replayed it last year. Other then slightly aged character faces the game could pass for a PS5 game in my opinion.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Now the Fourth Best Selling Game Ever, Still Chained to PS4 at 30FPS

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Now the Fourth Best Selling Game Ever, Still Chained to PS4 at 30FPS
I would settle for a 60fps patch for the PS4 version but yeah a remaster what gives us 60fps, RT and such would be the dream.
Re: Silent Hill 2 Puts Incredible Survival Horror on More Platforms This Month
