IGN — the absolute beacon of truth in this dark, uncertain time we live in.

@RoomWithaMoose they do. You don’t have to look any further than The First Descendent. That game has more tits and ass than anything and still no one plays it. Despite anyone’s opinions on TnA, the games listed above have large player bases because the games actually are designed and developed well. Nothing says you can’t goon and desire good gameplay at the same time.

I’ll be interested to see how a sequel does. As a non Harry Potter fan, I thought the game was fine. I will agree with most the open world was pretty bland and the combat was repetitive, but was still satisfying. I don’t even remember the story and the characters were all pretty forgettable. It looked amazing though.

I picked up the first game for like $5 at one point and while I enjoyed the spirit of it, it was pretty boring about halfway through. It just follows every other mafia story you’ve already seen a thousand times so all you’re left with is extremely dated gameplay.

sO ThIs GaMe IsN’t FiNiShEd YeT?

Ready, Set, Same Games As Always.

This game is going to bomb anyways. But it does seem odd to lock all trophies out unless every single trophy is just a boss defeat. Although with how basic this game is, it might be true. "This game isn't everyone"? I think Joe Ziegler was the last person to say that before Bungie fired hundreds of people, shut a game down, and then he left the studio before he was fired, while we wait for their second IP to fully die and the studio be no more.

@Oram77 It worked as well as the announcement of Destiny 3... wait...

@wildcat_kickz Yes, Sony cares so little it's literally a requirement that PS4 and PS5 games have trophies, lol.

@woopox as someone who works in the advertising industry every single writer is definitely using AI.

I’ll probably pick it up just to support digital sales.

I feel like this title is getting bodied and the next game they work on the initial meeting will start with let’s not release this game alongside 5 other bangers…

Turns out gamers want games they can actually play. Who would have thought?

The controller is one of the better ones they have done lately. But not for $85. I think the console would have looked way better with just the slash marks. The face isn't needed to understand it.

I’d say they are about to be sorely left down but then again these fans are coming from the worst of the Spider-Man franchise movies already so they’ll be right at home as they play the game once for a couple hours and probably never touch it again.

When over 60% of gamers only buy 1-2 games per year, this isn’t shocking at all.

Playstation studios won't take risks anymore because they allowed cancel culture to back them into a corner and without risk you can't create true art. Sure, they still makes games that sell well and make money. But they no longer make games that the culture will remember forever.

@Dogbreath you sound like someone who eats pizza crust first, pours the milk into the bowl before the cereal, runs his tooth brush under the faucet after he applied the toothpaste, and then tried to convince everyone else they were on deep on the spectrum...

@Oram77 people who think AI "steals jobs" in the corporate world simply don't work in the corporate world and probably never have. When teams in the corporate world get busier, they rarely hired more people to compensate. The just made the people already employed work harder and longer. This idea that as companies grow that teams automatically grow too is one of the biggest farces I see internet people push. It's like people already forgot crunch existed long before AI...

I am pretty sure you could show people on this board a sample size of a million and they'd find something wrong with it too. Clutch those empty disc cases right into your caskets, brothers.

@MrPeanutbutterz the MASSIVE difference is data centers contribute to far more than just supplying digital games whereas printing a plastic disc case does one thing only which is sit on a shelf and collect dust until the average person throws it in a land heap...

@Northern_munkey brother I don't need to play something I can see is bad to know it's bad, lol. That's actually a real sign of maturity.

@Oram77 I mean, Sony's CEO just said that Marathon is retaining players and gaining new ones every day so they do tend to stretch a bold face lie into a modicum of a truth sometimes...

@Boxmonkey Sony don't care about those countries because it's not Sony's job to. They aren't a charity. Sony's job IS to make money. So you don't worry about places where people have none. This is true of every other profitable company in existence as well. Some of the people here are so dense I feel like they have to be bots...

If you haven't played this game because you're that concerned about peak performance or visual fidelity, then you aren't even a gamer. You're just a whole new kind of chud.

Nothing says peak journalism like finding a job posting, knowing nothing about what that job will even be, and then blindly making the worst assumption you can think of, lol. With that being said, if they do go the route of ads, I will leave PS behind. I am over 40 now and have had plenty of fill of gaming. So if I need to go find something else to spend time doing that doesn't involve seeing nonstop ads, I guess that day might come soon enough. Retro gaming is not an option either. Retro gaming is ass that people use to try and cope with the potential fallout of the future of gaming.

@Splat at least it would teach a lot of players to get good at the games finally >.<

@ShadowRJ you’re acting like Capcom won’t keep optimizing their games for PS5, lol. Capcom games run pretty flawless on a base PS5 right now. Sony could be in trouble selling a PS6, which I still doubt, but Capcom will be just fine continuing to make games that still run well on PS5’s if nothing else. Same with most other companies. They don’t have to build games for the PS6 if they see there is minimal transition to it. Hell, the PS5 was out for multiple years before you saw any devs really take advantage of much.

People need to calm down. This will be ripped from Netflix the minute it goes live and put all over the internet to watch without a sub or waiting for a later date, lol.

@J0HN_L0CKE you are on an island alone because you can’t redefine the word doable to mean if you can’t do it then it’s not doable…

@Ainu20 given their continued upward profit margins I don’t know why you think they’re going to give an explanation anytime soon. Dreamers dream I guess.

People act like Sony doesn’t still get a cut whether this game gets hyped up by them or not, lol. Missing State of Play Hurts S-Game more than it helps the physical disc lost cause. It’s millions of eyeballs that don’t live their life on Twitter but just buy stuff that looks cool not seeing the game.

@Oram77 so you’re saying she fits right in on Twitter, lol?

The only two games I see as day 1 are Wolverine and Galactic Racer. I’ll see what GTA launches like first. Everything else is an easy wait for sale. Doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of other great games in there. But day 1’s really don’t have much pull with how fast sales come now.

Those thighs look like they slap too.

@DennisReynolds yeah but that’s like saying anyone with two legs is a better sprinter than someone with no legs…

This series is probably dead in the water. Like 10 years ago he could look the part. But there’s a reason no one pits him in real movies.

One of highest rated games of the year doesn't mean anything anymore when walking sims like Mix Tape get 10's, lol.

@naruball yo, it was a spike to 15k people, lol. Let's call down.

So when a man shows his ass in a game it's celebrated? Just another blow to the feminists.

I bought an S when it was launched and it didn't even last for 5 years.

@Northern_munkey the women added in Halo campaign don’t make it woke. They just make it trash.

It blows my mind how MS managed to botch the Halo remake which should have just been a slam dunk. Even Ubisoft figured out how to do a remake the right way.

Anyone who thinks corporations operate under a “revenge” mentality spend too much time watching tv shows on Paramount Plus.

@Balaam_ don’t worry, bro. Lego still produces physical plastic bricks that can literally never decompose or biodegrade so that you can put it on a shelf to look at occasionally while it collects dust the handful of decades you exist on this planet.

@IntrepidWombat I think the distain has developed towards the people crashing outs attitudes and the fact that there’s 10 stories a day about an issue no one can change being posted here just for engagement farming…

@get2sammyb it took companies a few years to figure out social media users don’t buy products.

I wasn’t going to play this when I thought it was coming out on physical but now that I know it’s digital only I plan to buy it.

I mean there’s a reason he’s the third best Spider-Man…
