@Jammer She just looks older.

Ignoring E33's score makes the list invalid.

@Nepp67 Nightreign isn't a BR.

@yazzika Will say the maps are big enough in that their packed with content and do give you a lot of space to move in. They're also fairly varied and each have their own theme and identity and are extremely pretty its just for me its a bit of a downgrade over the first game as i love seamless maps in my open world games. Overall its a minor thing though as the rest of the game is excellent.

@yazzika Its separated into zones bit like how FF7 Rebirth does things. Its not a big seamless map with no loading screens its a bunch of mid to somewhat big sized maps separated by loading screens. Its not a deal breaker but it does lack that sense of freedom you usually get in open worlds games.

@AdamNovice Yeah the maps are big so you do get a lot of space but i just hated seeing the views and knowing its a skybox, i hated seeing the Mountain and knowing its a static image and that i can't seamlessly go to it and climb it. I get why its like this but i wish SP done The Witcher 3 approach and made two huge maps with some smaller ones that exist more for story then exploring.

Tsushima has the better open world because its an actual open world unlike Yotei. I also feel stealth was better in Tsushima as well. Other then those two things Yotei is the better game with far better combat, better side content and a better story with Atsu actually being a great character unlike Jin who is just boring, bland and pretty dull saved by his voice actor who does a great job. That said i went with the middle option for what i like best as i much prefer Tsushima's actual open world while preffering Yotei's gameplay and story. Both fantastic games though and Yotei easily makes my top 5 of 2025 while Tsushima easily made my top 5 of whatever year they came out (2019???).

Smaller games like this doing well is great to see.

@PuppetMaster Yeah Rafe was a solid villain.

@tameshiyaku Her last game was U3 well over a decade ago and everything she's done since has failed, been cancelled or been poorly received. It gets to the point that you start to think maybe she's the issue. U3 was also a mess from narrative standpoint and pretty bloated and from what we know her version of U4 sounded pretty generic and well bad what with the whole tired long lost evil brother returns trope being the main beat of it.

I get the impression more and more that Amy Hennig "leaving" ND was more on her then them. She's done nothing since ND except lead disasters and vaporware. She's very much part of the old guard who gets by on status alone and still thinks its the 2000's, we're seeing a lot of these key figures from 20 years back put out
crap lately.

@Frmknst Least hyped? Its the most hyped video game ever made so much that it has the entire industry trying to avoid releasing anything even slightly near it.

@SrpskaArtilerija The top 5 games of this year are neither soulslike, remasters or remakes. The best game of the entire generation is neither them as well. As i said i suggest you play more and broaden your horizons. This gen while flawed is easily more diverse in what it offers then last gen.

@SrpskaArtilerija If you got "burned badly" by this Gen then i suggest you play more. These past 3 years have been stacked as hell with games.

@tameshiyaku GTA VI is the most hyped entertainment product in history so yeah others are right not to compete with it because everyone will be buying it.

Not a shock and a holiday release feels more fitting anyway.

Of course SE would jump on this.

Strange how MS haven't pushed for it even if it was for Xbox only

All this hassle for a version that will barely sell.

Yotei of course though BF6 is a close 2nd for me.

@RoomWithaMoose Or they could add a PS5/Xbox crossplay as an option.

9 people were playing it on Steam the other day so i guess its up to them to provide content 😂😂😂

I mean AI reading inputs was a thing it done and these aren't remasters but upscaled emulations. This is why you do research beforehand.

@RoomWithaMoose Steam have more way more short games on there then PS5 yet this issue doesn't really happen on there.

@Balaam_ Technical mess is an utter lie.

E33 and its not even close.

Steam's 2 hour refund should be standard for everyone and that 2 hour window should be extended if major problems appear later on.

@KundaliniRising333 I won't bother listing every game but i will name a few notable entries. Ghost of Yotei on Pro RT looks incredible and PSSR gives it a near 4K level image. KC2 looks incredible as well and it uses PSSR. Control's recent Pro update added PSSR and its the best upscaler for Control on console. MH Wilds is best played on the Pro and it uses PSSR. No Man's Sky looks fantastic on Pro and again it uses PSSR. Finally AC Shadows with PSSR on makes it the best looking version on console.

@KundaliniRising333 Most games that use PSSR look better. Not that PQ will report when a game gets a great Pro upgrade like NG4 what has a massive Pro upgrade.

@PuppetMaster He's guilty he himself admitted to it. Also there's some crimes you can't come back from and sexual assault in any form is one of them. If you do it once you will do it again, their only regret is being found out.

@PuppetMaster So you're ok with sexual predators still getting work and promotion?

@MrPeanutbutterz Most of MK's ports in the 90's had little to no blood and gore and they all sold well.

@tameshiyaku Its based on the early years meaning pre-3D era and modern era.

@tameshiyaku They're not part of the 3D era. The 3D era is when the series stopped being a 2D fighter and become a 3D one like Tekken. This kollection covers the early years and handheld entries.

@MrPeanutbutterz Is GTA nasty? The Last of Us? Dying Light? God of War? Ghost of Yotei? Gears of War? Any Resident Evil game?

@djlard Whose going to disturb your session? That's not how online works 🙄

Why waste all that money remaking them when a simple port of the MCC would sell more then all of the remakes combined?

@MrPeanutbutterz Like it or not MK is a massive part of fighting game history. In fact its the best selling fighting game series ever and played a massive vital role in shaping video games forever.

@tameshiyaku This isn't based on the 3D era of MK.

@Oram77 Are they? The usual fighting game crowd are loving this right now on YT and social media, even the MK subreddit that's hates MK is loving it. The only minus is basic MP but better options are coming in an update.

This was never supposed to be about the PS2 3D era and MK9 so that's an unfair minus. The only key game absent is MK4 Gold but that was beyond their control.

Its a flawless treasure trove of greatness in my opinion.

@Medic_alert World is the biggest selling game in Capcom history. Wilds selling 10m+ still makes it one of the years best sellers.

A Kojima Matrix game would be incredible.

Lack of any real post release content of worth, terrible endgame and a shoddy PC port that hasn't been fixed will do that.

@PuppetMaster I think they added a rewind feature like what the PS classics have so it should be easier.

Just finished pre-loading it. Really excited and i hope this does well enough to get a 3D collection.

@Jammer Middle of next month.

The new parkour is great its just kinda wasted on a world not designed for it. Its great stuff its just better suited to an actual city.

Not a fan of BR but giving how much i'm loving BF6 i might as well at least try it.

@Veritas7Ax Nah that was IV as that was a 360/PS3 game.
