I bought a game soon after the issues began, so I just hope that after the problem is resolved I won't have to contact support to claim the points.

Coding sure is getting complex, now bugs in the program create accidentally written monetization schemes all on their own! We truly live in the future.

Three sounds pretty excessive, I'd have expected a couple.

Just saw The Talos Principle 2 at 50% off, so I'm definitely getting that one.

I fully completed the Switch version back when it launched so I don't think I'd double dip now, but maybe in a few more years I'll get the itch to replay it. It is a really good game, after all.

Wouldn't say I'm hyped, but I do expect at least one thing or two I care about to be shown, and as far as I'm concerned that's enough for the presentation to be worth it.

(No way I'll be actively watching during those two hours, though.)

I completed the first game and its DLC just a couple days ago (loved it), so this would be good timing for me. While I definitely could use a small break to un-fry my brain after that puzzle marathon (seriously, I dreamt of blue & red lasers today) I'm honestly itching to jump into the sequel.

For the sake of this series I love, I hope the live-action will be successful, but on a personal level I don't have high expectations for it.

To be honest, I'd rather hear more about games coming either this year or the next than get a bunch of premature announcements for stuff that'll come out who knows when.

It's no skin off my back to have the stream open in the background while playing, and unmuting it when/if something interesting shows up.

Instead, it shall become the Remastered Studio.

The Series S always sounded like a terrible idea to me. Seeing yet another example of an upcoming game being held back and downsized due to that system only validates my opinion further.

Leave it to their remaining few Japanese developers to carry the soul of the brand.

Free to Play = Safe to Ignore

Too bad, it was one of the games that stood out to me.

Where Winds Meet, Ballad of Anthara and Astro Bot make it Okay in my book.

Just give me Hellblade 2 and I'll be a happy camper.

Cool. Fingers crossed for some Ghost of Tsushima news.

I don't really believe any of it, but I'd take a modern Rebecca RE game any day.

It's too bad that Jujutsu Kaisen's first videogame outing on consoles went so poorly. Now the next attempt is even less likely to get the funding and dev time necessary to dish out a good game, like a negative feedback loop.

Very nice.

There are several really cool boss fights in this game that I'd love to replay a lot and get better at... without having to get through the entire game every time I want to redo them. So wish granted as far as I'm concerned.

New outfits are also a decent plus, I'll try to unlock the one rewarded by the new mode, shouldn't be too bad if you only have to beat the bosses on Normal.

Looks like The Talos Principle just went up in my list of priorities.

It's a game I definitely want to play at some point, but I can patiently wait for an eventual port. Seems almost inevitable given Xbox's impending collapse as a first party.

Sorry, best I can do is a 40 minute long in-depth look at Fairgame$.

Ninja Theory is the only interesting studio under XBox's umbrella they haven't ruined yet.

Bring it. I got 100% the other day after three full playthroughs and I'm still ready to play this game some more.

An improvement, if a minor one. "Business Unit" is not the kind of term I like seeing associated to devs who actually create good games. Sounds more like something used to describe a group of bean counters.

I just find it absolutely hilarious that the PlayStation Blog article title cites Crime Boss, of all things, as one of the highlights. That's how you know this month's going to be a stinker even before reading the full list.

Multiplatform is better for game companies and players both, when it comes to big franchises the funds provided by a single platform holder hardly make up for being able to sell their games to up to 4 different, big playerbases.

If they're including spin-off titles in that, and have enough staff/teams to handle them, I don't see why not.

I'm not keeping count, but it already feels like there are Persona releases fairly often anyway. P3 Reload came out a few months ago, P5 Tactica came out last November, before that there was that remaster for the Persona fighting game as well as Persona 5 going multiplatform + getting a PS5 version, etc.

95% chance Media Molecule would have been shut down by now if they were owned by Microsoft.

Microsoft really looked at the one and only team creating interesting works for their paltry portfolio and said "hmm, it doesn't make us millions though, what's the point?"

Yet another step towards total creative bankruptcy.

What a slap in the face to Tango developers after dishing out a hit like Hi-Fi Rush. Microsoft has just gotten rid of one of the very few teams under their wing whose releases I was interested in.

Great news. I'm interested in everything by Kodaka or Too Kyo Games, but I'd much rather play their stuff on my currently active system than dust off my Switch. I'll be getting it.

I wouldn't change FFXVI, Rebirth and Stellar Blade for anything that PlayStation Studios are likely to produce. So as far as I'm concerned they more than made up for it.

Quite enjoyed The Rising Tide myself. The new area is beautiful, the Motes of Water are an interesting and pleasant people (stark contrast to Valisthea in general), the boss battles were pretty great, and the sidequests mostly worked for me as they either expanded upon the lore of the tribe or the surrounding fauna.

All that's left to do today is the Kairos Gate mode, which I'm looking forward to.

Both Ghostrunner 2 and Tunic work for me.

@matekomlosi I don't approve of any type of censorship, so you're preaching to the choir here.

The tweet specifically mentioning the Japanese version implies that this is about addressing violence/gore censorship more so than about sexual content.

I definitely expected Japan to get some level of gore censorship after I saw that chopped off arm in the first section of the game, given how strict their guidelines are for this kind of stuff in games. On the other hand Japan has zero issue with just having characters wearing skimpy outfits, so this is obviously not about that.

@colonelkilgore Ironically, this quest worked just fine at release, then they botched it in a subsequent patch somehow. I and many others got the platinum weeks ago because we cleared the quest before they did.

Funny how they're now pretending their own, far bigger clusterf*ck never happened and that they're still in a position to farm goodwill from a high horse with these kinds of statements.

You're down in the gutter just like everyone else, CDPR. You've proved that extensively.

I had a good time with it, parries in particular are really satisfying.

To be honest I could see myself getting one month of GTA+ just to 100% this one game. After all, my intention was to buy it once it was going for 20€ (which still seems a way off), and a monthly subscription costs 6€.

Something to consider in the near future I guess - plenty more on my plate right now.

I'll give Immortals of Aveum its fair shot. Maybe Skul, too.

@breakneck Because successful doesn't equal evergreen. Sales slow down after the initial launch window for most games and a discount always helps flatten the curve.

Capcom's Notes: "Push microtransactions a week after release"

Sweet, I'll give it a go.

Didn't expect it quite so soon, I suppose the leak might have moved their plans forward a tad.

It's a good thing you need to manually 'Start' these objectives in the PS Stars list. That means I won't earn this abomination even by accident.

I guess you can add Bend to the big pile of PlayStation studios whose releases I no longer care about.

All of the D&D, with none of the talent. Clearly a winner recipe.

Apparently I'm getting it as a birthday gift in a few days, so I held off on buying it. Looking forward to playing it then.

As for the second question, big Nioh fan - Nioh 2 especially. Haven't gotten around to Wo Long yet.

As expected, it's Leviathan time. Trailer was pretty great, looking forward to this.
