New trophies are likely beating in NG+ and beating NG+ on hardest difficulty. Should be fairly trivial going in with all the unlocks from your first playthrough. Might mainline to get back to 100%.
@Dogbreath The more you learn about history the more you realize there are no good guys 🤣. I think Civil War is a compelling setting but yes Ubi would have screwed it up.
@Dogbreath I would argue the moral impetus is different. England colonized an entire continent and took it from the indigenous people. The colonists then rebelled because monarchies suck etc. The south wanted to own people.
@Northern_munkey the footage in the Vietnam one was insane. Another classic American L of a war. For the amount we spend you would think we would be undefeated…
@wildcat_kickz Gettysburg is also a masterpiece. I die when I see confederate flags it’s basically like have a giant sign that says “I root for slavery, losing sides of wars, and traitors.”
@nomither6 I will respectfully disagree. Gaming was getting way more attention by the media, politicians, and even Congress in the US back then than it does now. Gaming devs are more likely to censor themselves now due to internal reasons than before though. Likely a significant amount of devs within Rockstar just wouldn’t be interested in Bully.
@Oram77 I am not going to buy but only because I intended on playing on the couch with my wife. None of my friends will enjoy this one and I don’t care to meet new people or play with strangers. I can admit this is likely a me issue rather than it being their issue though 🤣
@RicebinBernacky Very likely games that launched on gamepass will have higher prices DLC than games launched traditionally. Thought process might be people who didn’t pay for the base game are likely to pay more for DLC? Not backing this on anything, just an observation.
@Oram77 it’s mostly just a boring and tired talking point. It’s generally the same people that glorify stellar blade (I platinumed both games I’m not a hater) and they fail to understand they can hate on a Horizon all they want it’s still massively more successful than the game with the hot chick.
I’m very interested. Seems like a short contained experience which I will definitely be in the mood for between the death stranding 2 plat and kingdom Come 2 plat…
@SMJ it’s a common legal term essentially meaning damages are not compensable by monetary means alone. In this case the irreparable harm would likely be IP dilution and brand damages which are hard to calculate and quantify. It’s less an overblown term and more a term which accurately describes the type of damages. It doesn’t mean irreparable as in ‘can never be fixed.’ It means irreparable as to difficult to quantify the damages should the game be released, be terrible, and then harm one of Sonys highest selling modern IP. Lawyer talk over.
Interesting choice of movies. Ran is fantastic but definitely not the best Kurosawa you could choose. 13 Assassins is fine but essentially a remake with extra gore to set it apart. The social media discourse over a popcorn bucket is predictably boring.
@get2sammyb if anything Wolverine solidified their stance on early announcements. I am actually okay with this too. There is so much to play I would rather not no about games until they are 6-12 months from launch.
My car died (after 21 years) so I am buying a much newer model of the same car today. It has been a huge distraction from my career with Draw Bridge so I can’t wait to get this wrapped up and get back to my deliveries.
Seems smart. With Xbox going multi platform there is less need for the tech to be proprietary. Should also stem some issues with versions launching better on Xbox than their PS5 counterparts. Shrewd.
@Robocod Amy Hennig hasn’t released a game in much longer than Neil and has abandoned multiple projects and had multiple cancellations. Not sure it would be better off. The secret sauce was a mix of all those talents together at ND.
@AhmadSumadi I feel like we all know streaming/pass services are terrible for the inherent value of the product. It’s just that consumers view it as such a good deal they don’t mind the overall product degrading and the effect it has on the value of the workforce to the producing entity. Huge bummer. Game pass has crazy value to certain consumers but will long term be viewed as a net negative by many.
Lots of negativity here. I will pre order it as I have with every PlayStation and take a few days off to enjoy it! I still get excited with new hardware releases it’s an event that comes but every seven years or so.
You can sue anyone for anything. Most of the time it’s a waste of everyone’s time and money. It’s a good thing for lawyers who don’t care about their oaths though.

Re: Official PlayStation Fighting Stick Named FlexStrike, Out in 2026
