Trophies don't really matter that much, so the title of the article is a bit odd. The actual news part of this news is a game that hasn't been out for that long getting its servers axed.
That said, I think it makes sense to lock some trophies behind multiplayer from the company's POV since it can create fomo for people who care about trophies a lot. I'm just glad it doesn't affect my enjoyment of a game.
Ah, Dark Souls 3. Not as good as Dark Souls 1 but still much better than any game FS made after. A remaster would be cool I guess. Unnecessary since it can already be played on ps5 but that never stopped game devs before.
@Blaze215 I'm just glad that people like you who try to push their ideologies onto others is in the minority, otherwise we wouldn't get great shows like these.
There should be a law in place preventing companies from doing scummy stuff like this. But in any case, they should've just made the remaster cost 30$ instead since that would've been a more reasonable price for it. Selling the same old game but with Remaster in the title for 50$ just doesn't make sense.
Female gamer here: I never played GoT because it featured a male protagonist and I wasn't a big fan of the setting in the first place. I'll definitely wanna play this one however, having a female protag is always a huge selling point for me. Especially in recent years, I started to get sick of game companies pushing male protagonists into their games. I really hope the game industry moves away from the "male is the default gender" mindset in the future and the gamers who complain about female protagonists learn that women exist and they make up half the earth's population lol.
I'm really sorry to all of the atlus devs who were holding out hope, but I will likely never pay for this game.
Don't get me wrong, I still played through it just to see if it they added enough new content to justify cutting the femc and charging for The Answer instead of making it part of the base game, but nope. Just a lazy cash grab of a remake, but they won't be grabbing any cash from me lol.
That's a funny coincidence since I'm doing my 4th playthrough of it rn. I don't know how I would rank it compared to the other 2 dark souls games; calling it the weakest one feels weird because it does a lot of things better than the others. However, it's easily miles better than elden ring, which I consider to be the worst fromsoft game to date.
As someone who has beaten code vein, demons souls, dark souls trilogy, bloodborne, sekiro and elden ring... Yes, I'm very sick of them. Especially with how bad of a game elden ring was it really soured me on the genre.
A mobile gacha game that looks like a mobile gacha game but for some reason it doesn't have a female protagonist option. I wonder what their excuse is this time lol.
Finally, some good news. I'll refrain from saying what I really think about the guy since I don't wanna break the site rules (lol) but I'll just say that he deserves much worse than this.
I like how they bundled it with bug fixes and qol stuff so you have to choose between censorship and a buggier experience lol. Granted it's such a small and inconsequential thing so I don't really care but the fact that they bothered to do this in the first place is not a good sign.
As a woman, having a female protagonist option in a game goes a long way in making the experience more immersive for me regardless of how often I see/hear my character, so I find this "minor" addition pretty cool. I've never heard of this game before but I'll definitely be checking it out solely for this feature.
Lol is this a joke? Of course Lara is more iconic than Mario, there's nothing shocking about that. However, what IS surprising is Mario being so high up on the list.

Re: Sony Hits Back Hard at Bungie Lead's $200 Million Lawsuit
Never heard of this Barret guy before but based on the text messages he's VERY creepy. Sony's 100% in the right here.
Re: Ex-Sony Boss Says Xbox Can Find Multiplatform Software Success, Just Like SEGA
@Decimateh-xblz Tbf Ps3 was better than xbox 360. It sold more too.
Re: Sony Issues DMCA Takedown Against Bloodborne 60FPS Mod, Four Years After Release
Well, that's pointless. I just checked and the patch is still easily accessible and downloadable.

Re: Talking Point: Is PlayStation Right in Saying PC Isn't a 'Major Risk' to Console Business?
Playstation has always been and continues to be a major risk to PC business. I don't expect it to change.
Re: Nintendo Fans Are Desperate to Know How Close Switch 2 Will Get to PS4's Power

Re: You Can Get Excited for The Game Awards, Says Reputable Journalist
Could be that Persona 6 reveal that was rumoured a while ago, but I don't think it'll come out later than 2025 so I'm not sure.
Re: Elden Ring DLC Not Eligible for BAFTA's Best Game Award
It was an awful dlc and easily fromsoftware's worst, so it was never in a position to compete with full games anyways.
Re: My First Gran Turismo Has Been Rated for Release on PS5, PS4
At this point the only exciting news for GT would be an offline patch for GT7.
Re: Final Fantasy 6 Remake Mentioned Again, A Dream Project for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Producer
It's the best Final Fantasy game but I'd only be okay with a real remake of it and not whatever FF7 "Remake" was.
Re: Rumour: FromSoftware Classic Getting the Remaster Treatment
Ah, Dark Souls 3. Not as good as Dark Souls 1 but still much better than any game FS made after. A remaster would be cool I guess. Unnecessary since it can already be played on ps5 but that never stopped game devs before.

Re: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Leaks for PS5, PS4
We need Tomb Raider Anniversary on ps4. Can't believe it hasn't happened yet.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
@Buckster666 That's what they think they're doing, and they're attempting it by review-bombing, yes.
In reality all they're doing is being immature and showing their bias.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
The double standards of PC gamers never cease to amaze me. There's nothing valid or genuine about these so-called "criticisms."

Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?
@ozkrmz Search Elden Ring Critique on youtube, there's a lot of videos explaining the game's shortcomings.
Or just play it yourself.
Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?
As someone who has beaten code vein, demons souls, dark souls trilogy, bloodborne, sekiro and elden ring... Yes, I'm very sick of them. Especially with how bad of a game elden ring was it really soured me on the genre.
Re: Gacha Spinoff Persona 5: The Phantom X Coming to Console, with More on the Way
A mobile gacha game that looks like a mobile gacha game but for some reason it doesn't have a female protagonist option. I wonder what their excuse is this time lol.
The game looks really bad regardless though.
