I’m an executive chef at a hotel I regularly have to work 70+ hours. But I knew what I was signing up for when we agreed to my salary. It’s not unreasonable to think any responsible adult will know what they’re signing up for when going into a company. Likewise if it’s something they don’t like in the end they’re free to go find a job that suits their work schedule better. I’d be thankful to the gods if to earn my salary id be doing 60 hours sitting down.
Ahhh you guys must have never worked in the service industry. If someone calls off “sick” at my job someone’s going to have to get that extra work done. Crunch time baby. At least these guys get to crunch while sitting down in a comfy chair.
I’m actually excited for 2026. First full year of games I’m amped on since current gen launched. Every year has had its games yeah. But I’m looking forward to something throughout the whole year. Les gooooo
Death stranding directors cut. Took me a few start stops on this game. But now it’s got me. I knew it had me when I spent 4 hours collecting supplies to rebuild roads. I usually don’t get into building like this in games. Which says something. Such a unique experience of a game. Love it
Jesus guys. Please just wait to announce your game until it’s around a year to release. That way we can actually see some gameplay and you’ll be more confident it won’t be canceled by then as a well.
Nioh is one of these games where it’s best to wait until all dlc is out and then buy the complete version at 15-20$. I love niohs though, more than souls and other souls likes except maybe Sekiro.
I’m tired of hearing every studio say this is the biggest game they ever made. I’d like to see a studio say this is the most focused and innovative game we’ve ever made. The most respect for your time we’ve ever had.
I’ve learned my lesson this gen never to buy a game to play day of release. If I buy early to support the dev, I still wait until it’s fully patched to play it
Wealth and company consolidation has been such a bane on almost every facet of life. I remember in the US when they broke up the phone company Bell because they became too big. Stuff like that doesn’t happen anymore unfortunately
@Oram77 agreed. I usually put the reboots after the first three games w ragnarok being last. They’re great games mind you… just not on the level of 1-3.
I probably won’t even get gta6. But I am curious about it, if only because of the hype it’s getting. The only gta I’ve ever finished was 4. The gameplay loop just doesn’t hook me
NES was my first console. Ps6 is the first console I’m not excited for in the slightest. I remember the excitement for n64 and then the ps2 and the Xbox 360 so vividly. (how could you fumble that momentum from 360 so bad Microsoft?) Since the ps360 era each gen has come and gone with less enthusiasm. Ps6 will be the first I take a wait and see approach. I’ll probably wait till the 6 pro comes out. If I upgrade at all
@MrPeanutbutterz That's exactly it. I played games a lot more then because you could beat a game in a weekend to a week. The investment to play games now is crazy. For fighting games you could pick and master more characters in the game. Focused and well curated. How many junk characters are in these behemoth rosters?

Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?
@Dodoo Yup. Open world as the standard has gotten very cookie cutter and uniform.
Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?
