Magnificent. Everything from the controls to the build variety just feels great. If anything is annoying me so far, it's how easy it is to get side tracked when you set a goal. I'll just say it, they made this game too good. Sucker Punch, you may have set your own bar too high.
Frankly, they only have themselves to blame. Xbox has never been properly managed, and throwing money at the problem only ever works in the short term. I just hope that all the hard working people about to lose their jobs can land on their feet somewhere.
Isn't that like asking g Nintendo fans if they're tired of saving princesses in Mario and Zelda games? Or Xbox fans if they're tried for fighting aliens in Gears and Halo games?
I was probably going to buy this regardless, but I'd much rather see Musou games evolve and iterate like it's been doing for years. Origins gives Omega Force a strong new foundation to build off of, and that's more exciting to me than any remake would be.
I'll be exploring Nod Krai in Genshin Impact.
As one of the three people who really loved Natlan, I enjoy the vibe Nod Krai gives off, but the world mechanics feel a little basic in comparison.
Maybe I'm just a little bitter because Lauma gave me one of the worst summon sessions of my life, but I'm still waiting for this region to grow on me.
I haven't played it yet, and based off of early impressions, I don't think I'll be playing it for a while. Silksong sounds like it's doubling down on everything I loved and hated about Hollow Knight, which means I'll more than likely not finish it.
In an interview with SkillUp, Matt Nava said this also happened with The Pathless. I respect that Giant Squid wants to stay independent, but if Sony has to keep bailing them out, maybe an acquisition might not be a bad idea
Not yet, too much on my plate right now. Honestly, I might just wait to see if those playstation handheld rumors turn out to be true before I make a decision.
Exciting isn't the word I'd use. Intriguing maybe, but that's it. Ultimately, this looks like Uncharted by any other name, and all the pretty graphics and big set pieces can't cover up the stiff animations and weird UI. This game just looks like it's not fun to play.
I'm not going to write it off entirely, but as another international man of mystery once said, this sort of this isn't my bag baby.
We moved to seven year console cycles because 'certain things' caused everyone to push back new hardware until things were more stable. Those 'certain things' are starting to come back. So maybe we're looking at ten year console cycles pretty soon.
I'll be finishing up Sword of the Sea. I'm two trophies away from the platinum, but I'm pretty sure one of them is bugged. I think I'll have to start a fresh save file and play the whole game again to get it. But the fact that I'm kind of looking forward to that should tell how good this game is.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601
I'll be playing Ghost of Yotei while listening to AFI's new album. Turns out this game pairs really well with atmospheric goth rock.
Re: New PS5 Games for October and November 2025
Where Winds Meet is also slated for a November release. That's what I'm most excited for.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Hollow Knight: Silksong?

@LiamCroft I did. And your source just mentions "Sources". Did you read the article?

So you don't even have a source on this one? Are we just going by vibes now?
Re: Preview: Why 007 First Light Is the Most Exciting Game of 2026
