The fact it doesn't stand out really isn't doing it any favors imo. Before clicking the article and just looking at the thumbnail I assumed it was a WOW clone. I don't think I had ever even heard of this until now. I guess you never really know how something like this will go though, it being f2p might help it attract an audience(?).

This is a really fun feature 👏 I only ever go for platinum if it's a game I actually enjoy playing. Otherwise, it ends up feeling like a chore just to see a number go up which sucks the fun out of it.

Will be “updated regularly” with new content.

I'm sure this will definitely happen 😊 Just ignore the fact that they fired a chunk of the studio months ago.

While I understand the intent, it's also not great to essentially hear "we can only put updates out if we sell enough microtransactions."

I wouldn't say it's a "problem". If something is successful and people enjoy it and want to potentially see more I don't see why they wouldn't want to make more, as long as the studios want to do it or feel there's still more story to tell. You can definitely tell when something is made out of mandate or obligation conveyor belt style. The finished product has no heart or soul behind it, it's just there to exist to make quick money whether the quality is there or not. The 4 games mentioned in the poll don't have that issue at least imo.

I'm sure we'll definitely see it soon. Yes siree, any day now 🙂

Not much for me this time unfortunately. I may do a bit more digging. Although I was shocked to see new games like Ninja Gaiden 4 and Outer Worlds 2 on sale when they're barely a month old.

@Nakatomi_Uk If you look at some of the screenshots going around atm, a boss fight really does look like the Scarecrow section from Arkham Asylum 😂

Personally, I'm glad they didn't overuse it. When and where they actually did worked well but having flashbacks everywhere on the large map wouldn't have imo, at least not without shoehorning Atsu having been everywhere before which doesn't make much sense.

At least they finally acknowledged that Sam exists.

What's interesting is that rumor's been going around for a while with the pc numbers not being what they once were (multiplayer excluded) and the piracy issue still being as big as it is. Not sure of the validity of the rumor though, but it is interesting.

While they aren't for me I can see them possibly being successful. With so many mobile games out there vying for players' attention though it could go either way whether they find an audience or not.

"Even when playing solo, you cannot pause the campaign at any point."

That's pretty ridiculous tbh 🤦‍♀️

I'll just be over here waiting for Horizon 3 to release instead ✌

"The study also argues in favor of a more robust second-hand shopping environment, which encourages the recycling and reuse of existing physical products."

The problem with that though is the fact some games don't even get physical releases at all anymore. And with the rise of digital growing, the used game market probably won't even exist anymore in a few years unfortunately.

Where's his cape? 😔 This is cool though, I'm happy to see Astro's still getting out there.

Shocking how another "boycott" failed. I don't know why it's hard for some to understand that not everyone is an emotionally stunted weirdo upset over a fictional character's gender, skin color or etc. Most are just normal people who want to play a video game. I miss the days when people who weren't interested in something just passed on by and left it for the ones that are instead of being overly weird about it.

@Coversnail While Astro would make more sense, they've done that bundle already (I think for the same price as this one) and I don't know if they ever do repeat bundles. Although they have done a previous Fortnite bundle before so what do I know lol Hopefully they'll bring it back though 🤞

I'd really like to see dlc but I don't know what they would do for the story given how the game ends. I'd definitely be up for more though.

He's been doing these for a few years now and they're always of high quality so it's really nice to see these continue on with Yotei.

That's pretty sweet considering the PS5 version of Remake is harder to find now, especially at a good price. Though I wonder why they're doing it now instead of waiting for pt 3 and just selling them all as a collection.

"Many have highlighted the expansion as yet another way for the sovereign state to promote itself in a positive light."

I kinda wonder how much propaganda they're going to shoehorn into EA's games going forward.

I've really been loving my time with it so far. Something I really enjoy is how much better the exploration is. So many things happen unexpectedly that it keeps the world interesting. One particular moment was when I went to do a bamboo strike and a bunch of animals just came to watch. I think it was 2 foxes, a bird, and little bear cub. As someone who loves animals that really just put a smile on my face 😊

I always love seeing these. Happy launch day y'all 🤟

Hopefully no dumb tourists cause problems this time 😑

So I guess they're going to put 32mb of data on the disc?

It's interesting that a few others have said that Hugh Jackman is the only Wolverine (jokingly or otherwise). I get it though, it's hard to see any other after he's had the role after all these years. For me personally, it'll always be Cal Dodd. His Wolverine voice is ingrained in my brain after hearing it so much as a kid in the cartoon and Capcom's Marvel fighters. I do like Insomniac's choice though. Can't wait to see/hear more.

Only putting those 3 games and excluding the others kinda kills it for me personally (especially for that price) since there are still other ways to play them.

I still think Horizon Forbidden West is the peak of graphical quality on PS5. The level of detail in the environments and characters really blew me away. The mocap in Burning Shores specifically is incredible. Although Death Stranding 2 is right there with it imo.

@tameshiyaku Cargo Condition: 99.999%

I'm kinda curious as to what prompted that response 🤔

It's crazy when you remember that MS has owned Rare for over 20 years now... 🤦‍♀️ Like, what was even the point?

I love that they're bringing this controller back, it's such a great design 😊 Kinda wish they'd reissue some of the others as well, like the older ones released during that time when they were a still a pain to order.

Wouldn't this just be any war movie with big budget CGI released in the last few years? Maybe the protagonist will change the skin on his weapons? I have no idea.

That's weird, I thought it would've been much higher than that since it's a well known XB franchise and on game pass.

Really hope nothing bad happens to Atsu's wolf pal. I'm still not over Jin's horse lol 🥺

"PS5 Pro users can enjoy a 'higher and more stable frame rate' than the base PS5 version."

While I'm excited for the game, this has me a tad worried that it might be another game that's been "fixed" on the Pro but has performance issues on the base PS5. Hopefully that's not the case though 🤞

Don't really care much for his weird redesign but I do really like how the series can poke fun at itself.

I'll always love the first Bubsy game as I played it a lot with my dad on the Genesis. Don't think I ever played any of the others though so this is interesting to see.

For EA of all companies to say that is pretty shocking. They usually try to squeeze as much money out of the consumer as possible.

What I don't get is why they didn't just make their own thing after Sony turned it down. If that team liked their idea, cool. Make a game with that. Deciding to rip it off anyway after you've been turned down isn't a great look. It also doesn't help when you have Not-Aloy and a KO Waterwing front and center on your promo art lol

It's a shame this had to be delayed because of those pesky internal and external saboteurs.

Makes sense to leave it the way it is if people are still playing Tsushima's multiplayer.

@JennyTea I don't even understand what that guy's getting so defensive about lol Like if he's upset about what's going on with Xbox or whatever then fine but they don't have to be a weirdo. All the article stated was what Moon Studios' CEO said 🤷‍♀️

Damn. I know it's not uncommon anymore when games skip Xbox but to see a studio that used to make exclusives for them choose to do that too is really sad (and a little worrying).

I can understand putting them in F2P games, but how is it "more fun" to pay for customization options that could've just been in the full priced game to begin with? The only people having more fun are the company execs.

"Sony’s attracted criticism for investing in story-telling."

That's such a weird thing complain about. Especially when those types of games made them stand out and forge their own identity at a time when big companies tried telling anyone who'd listen that single player games were "dead". Now those are the games people come to the PS ecosystem for (or beg for ports of).

The samurai movie tie is a great idea though. And the design of the bucket is really nice too, I'd like to get one if I can.

"With many assuming the post is teasing some kind of incoming announcement."

Why? lol That's a pretty big leap there with just a tweet 😂 You can kind of understand it with Helldivers. But I can't ever see Sony porting its own single player stuff over, especially with Xbox's days as a platform already being numbered by MS themselves. PS games would have to sell as poorly as Microsoft's stuff is currently selling to realistically consider that. And as we've seen recently with other companies, the long-term harm to their brand just wouldn't be worth it.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk They've done new worlds of challenge levels, speedrun levels, and a holiday level. All of them are free too, which was even more amazing.

It's crazy Square even allowed those bots in at this point (especially without charging an insane amount of money) when they initially refused. I was surprised when 2B wasn't even allowed in since they give that character to pretty much anything and anyone. But I'm really happy to see them here now 😁
