Slow news day?

I would say Tides of Tomorrow despite the fact that I played through it on Xbox and it's missing from the list either way. 😑

Here's hoping it's better than the first game.

All we can do at this point is to wait for Sony to respond to it and THEN act accordingly.

As a side-note:
This DRM stuff barely affects me personally as I'm 1. always online anyway and 2. I almost never buy digital games on PS5 to begin with and 3. it barely matters in the end either way. 🤷‍♂️

I'm 5 hours in and so far it's basically a more fleshed out version of Road 96 so anyone who liked what that game did will probably enjoy Tides of Tomorrow.

Oof.
Here's hoping it's at least better and more coherent than Xenoverse 2 was.

@J2theEzzo
Could be because Khazan is not a Souls-like but a Nioh-like while Lies of P is a fusion of Bloodborne and Sekiro.
Easy mistake to make.

Definitely one of my favorite new games of 2026 so far, up there with Romeo is a Dead Man.

Huh.
Didn't know Jacksepticeye was still around.

Good for him though, seeing as he's a big fan of Bloodborne.

Well...
Considering how many games got delayed into 2019 back when Red Dead Redemption 2 released, it would make sense that no one wants to release games close to Grand Theft Auto VI either.

Only time will tell.

Personally, I don't care about character creators as much these days as when I was younger.
I'd rather just have a choice between a male protagonist and a female protagonist these days than a custom character that I will either just mess up beyond recognition or just change the hairstyle of and be done with it.

Hardly surprising.
The game had promise and was legit good(and pretty challenging) at launch but then they started tweaking it and making insane changes to the core gameplay that ultimately turned the game into a shadow of its former self which is just sad to see.

Still a decent Nioh-like tho, I guess.
Actually scratch that, this is a worse Nioh-like than even Wo Long and that one was hilariously bad but at least Wo Long had a clear-ish vision from the get-go.

Never heard of this thing but this is a clear example of why over-hyping any product is always a bad thing.

Take it from me:
I haven't hyped up any game for any reason for the past...12ish years(the last two that I overhyped being Lords of Shadow 2 aswell as No Man's Sky and look how those two turned out) and that has helped me go into games blind and without expectations.

I remember playing through a few of the games like...9 years back in preparation for Kingdom Hearts 3 and in my highly personal opinion, the original game is definitely the worst one(and holy ***** has it aged like a glass of milk) in terms of gameplay followed by Dream Drop Distance and Birth by Sleep(slightly better than the original game but not by much).

Kingdom Hearts 2 is probably the best game in the series followed by Kingdom Hearts 3.

Playing in Quality mode on base PS5 and so far it's pretty great.

@RomanRiz
As long as the framerate is stable, that's what matters to me.

So what you're saying is that this should be played in quality mode on PS5 for the stable 30 fps?

Sounds a lot like I'll be very fine with that.

Ok but why are they a "disappointment"?

It's a game.
People will like it, people will dislike it.
Just like any other game, movie, book, record, whatever.

Yes, I am 100% ok with this decision.
More of this, if it's solely to combat pre-release leaks, please.

I don't really care about it.

@Yor-sama
In a perfect world, even Nintendo would go multiplatform, at least in my highly personal opinion that matters only to me and to no else.

It's a sad day indeed when Sony retracts back into its shell.

Games being multiplatform is always a good thing.

Death to console exclusive games I say.

Like, just look at how many games are still stuck on PS3 and Xbox 360 due to PC versions never being made.

I would give it a 6 so far, I think.

Definitely Romeo is a Dead Man and Tales of Berseria Remastered.

Hopefully there will be a 1080p at 60 FPS mode without ray-tracing and all that crap.

I've never even heard of this until just now.

I dunno, would maybe give it a 5 out of 10? 🤷‍♂️
I guess I just prefer the remaster of 3 over this remake.

Oh no!
The free to play game expects you to pay for some content?
How dare they do what literally every other free to play game already does?

Anyway...

Both styles are good but I wouldn't mind a return to God of War 3's style.

I mean, the game does look like a barely decent poorly-made cash grab so.
🤷‍♂️

I would have given it a shot but the very first thing I was met with when launching it was a "failed to log in" message followed by a "starting in offline mode" message followed by a message stating I needed to log in in order to launch the game in offline mode, lol.

After restarting it a few times and getting the same string of messages every time, I just deleted it and moved on with my day.

@Enuo
Unless they delay it.

This weekend I'm continuing to play Robotics;Notes on Switch after having finally beaten Fable II a couple hours ago.

Honestly one of my favorite games in the series.
I barely remember how the combat was though given the rest of the game was so extremely good.
Looking forward to playing the remake at some point though.

If nothing else, it's at least way better than both 4 and 5 with 5 just being overly long and tedious.

I honestly forgot this game actually came out.

Indie means self-published.
Always has and always will.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is 100% NOT an indie game.

My most anticipated PS5 games next year are:
Crimson Desert

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter

Yakuza Kiwami 3

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

I like how he left SEGA partially because he did not want to just keep making Yakuza games and his first game after leaving the studio is...basically Yakuza.
Good job. 🤣

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road obviously.
Nothing else comes even close to it.

Oh yeah.
I gotta buy this one at some point.

I guess I would give it a 5 out of 10.
I'm not a fan of extraction shooters and these days I avoid multiplayer only games like the plague, they are just not interesting to me.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger, obviously.

I would simply urge people to play Stellar Blade instead of this thing.

Huh.
Can't say I saw that coming.
Anyway, back to business as usual.

If I buy this at some point down the line, I'm 100% buying it for the single player campaign. I've never really been a fan of the multiplayer in BF even if Bad Company had a decent multiplayer component.

I'll probably buy it next year after I have made a proper gaming setup in my new apartment but I look forward to the new one.

I am proud of how my one and only playthrough of the last game ended with me taking the platinum, without using any guide.
Probably why it took me 4 weeks or so to beat the game.

It's almost as if the PS5 Pro was a bad idea that got executed poorly.

Pretty sad to hear that you'll start at phase 2 if you get to it and then lose.

At least the first game has a pretty decent soundtrack.
