The outrage is so incredibly dumb. I don't think a single game in my rather extensive PS4/PS5 library is full on disc.

The purpose of physical media is tying ownership to a physical object, as opposed to it being account-bound. None of you are archivists (clearly, because then you'd know physical media are never used for preservation).

But raaaaah we have to be angry at the evil vidya game corpos. Grown men. Ridiculous.

Not sure what's worse. Kojima himself, or his fans. How can anyone respect such a tool?

@GirlVersusGame Proof is about authentic truth (and never subjective). What a load of nonsense.

Not fussed about a patch, as long as it does play well once you get started.

Heard the performance issues are more substantial than this review would let on. Skipping.

Oh no not my live service slop

"Keeping the player busy" is starting to feel predatory.

Let the manipulative slop die.

Would be weird if he went like "nah don't bother with our next game it'll be pretty mid".

@EfYI its the first game worth its asking price in nearly a decade. Buy it.

60 bucks is AA price now.

As a reluctant AI consultant I can safely say that AI is the worst technological development in history. Forget trying to subterfuge art, people and more importantly young people are being manipulated into relying on AI to perform cognitive tasks. Finding and validating information is a vital skill, which is going to be lost if AI becomes mainstream for the upcoming generation.

UK is the Dark Souls of Europe.

It was me, I take full responsibility for mediocre slop failing and the industry slowly killing itself.

Reviewer: game not great
Comment section: mentally challenged screaming

Well this article certainly misinterpreted that information on purpose to make me click it.

Are we upset by memes now? Like are you actually serious? Some times I can't believe the stuff written on this site.

Truly a journalism

Best place is a pc hooked up to a screen, no ads.

Game of the generation as far as I'm concerned.

Even if they fixed it up perfectly, isn't it just another shooter in a heavily saturated market? Who's to say it would have performed well even in the best of circumstances?

Thanks Nintendo

Man likes butt's, virtue signallers riot

Clair Obscur, and it's not even remotely close.

I guess it's my fault for clicking on this article, but that pregnant stuff is beyond cursed

Live service bad, Sony stay mad.

Absolutely asinine sentiment.

@Nydius that's the point. It will benefit many!

Maybe people will stop paying money for Unreal Engine Open World Shooter of the week now.

I thought this looked interesting during the showcase, but later learned it's f2p. Instant pass.

Yyyyyyeah I'll believe it when I see it.

Metroidvania has to be the most incorrectly used video game term of all time. The term has become absolutely meaningless when an isometric action rpg or action adventure game is called one.

Wish they'd reinstate the PS5 demo outside of PSN. I missed out.

With subscriptions, you don't make selective decisions about which games to purchase and subsequently spend time playing. As a result, you form a weaker, non-committal connection to it. It does not surprise me at all that Gamepass players have a lower retention rate, many of them are simply trying it out because it's there.

AI and preservation is, at the outset, two incompatible concepts. Absolutely ridiculous. This industry is run by absolute fools.

Damn PushSquare, will you stop shilling the live service model? This is getting beyond ridiculous. Listen to the feedback of your readers. Have some dignity, for crying out loud.

If it's constructive feedback you want, consider what you're writing and who you're writing it for. Live service games are bad for everyone involved (except for the suits lining up their pockets). Players pay full price for bad, unfinished games, and are bombarded with dark pattern manipulation to keep them playing to perpetuate the revenue stream as long as possible. Granted, I understand and respect that far from everyone is as much against live service games as I am. But celebrating it comes across as incredibly tone deaf or worse, paid to shill an anti-consumer business model. It is not the first time this has happened on Push Square.

Seeing as Square probably uses ChatGPT to make decisions for them, this just seems to be the unfortunate results of a given AI prompt.

If this garbage shows up on my PS5, I'll be doing anything I can to disable it. Do we still get trophies and progress tracked when we're offline?

Heh, this article is doing about as well as concord, hey. Certainly decreasing your own stocks there, mate. Painful read, cringing on your behalf.

@somnambulance What would you consider the flaws of CrossCode to be? (Genuinely curious, no shade!)

I love CrossCode and consider it a top 5 game of the previous decade. Unparalleled gameplay, writing, and art/music for games of this kind.

Onto the list of corporations to never buy from, you go.

Building a physical PS4/PS5 library, as I get the vibe that physical media won't be the norm after this generation. I'm not about those live services and subscriptions.
