I played some Gears of War 4, and it was surprisingly mediocre game. combat wasn't crunchy and lacked impact, difficulty was wonky, and someone but a giant red hear in the middle of the screen whenever you got hurt like an intern made a game in 2008.
For these reasons, Gears did not get any of my votes.

I hate that’ll continue to use CR. It shows have merged into Funimation. I hope this violates terms and they see a lawsuit come their way.
The CR app is barely catching up to Funi with features and it’s pathetic and showing.

I feel like the poll is kinda too broad in that has games with no confirmed or likely sequels that aren’t already on PS. I think narrowing to games that have been announced already for Xbox only past or present and not PS would be more informative.

It would be crazy if this blocked the merger. Absolutely crazy.

Did anyone even play this on Netflix?

@thefourfoldroot1 I see plenty of girls IRL who have bodies like, similar, or close to this, or just as attractive with different natural proportions. We have way overstated "unattainable".

they should have said it ages ago if this was true. I also don't believe them. Either, they already lost the day 1 collector's edition from me because I do believe we will get the full version later.

@lacerz Definitely, Xbox has been so tragically mismanaged for ages now.
It wouldn't surprise me if they one day try sell the publishers they bought for a profit or break even and then try a more traditional strategy of cultivating good games if they get a big management shift.

It sounds like threw money to help Xbox, then wanted to put it all on Gamepass, realized the lack of word of mouth from not being on PS and the lack of actual sales didn't help the bottom line, and now are trying to fix the billions they used on publishers in a way that doesn't make a lot of sense.
I think MS's Xbox management has simply been a disaster and throwing money around has made some people actually want to see a return sooner.
Xbox has been terribly mismanaged ever since the first 2/3rds of the 360's lifespan ended.

Without PS5 their games just aren’t getting the same spotlight too, so I imagine they feel like they might be losing out on Xbox sales too due to it not being on the PS5 and losing word of mouth.

They should have released then let it sail off with PSVR2 support.

This sounds awesome. This is looking like more and more of a purchase for me. DnD explanation sounds so cool.

@CharlieChooChoo Why would there be a Beta announced? They are insanely rare for games like this, or rather they never happen and sometime early access for a SP game on PC happens.

This looks great. The PS Store mentioned roomscale being required, so I hope it drops that requirement. My space is barely too small for roomscale.

That description sells me much more than the gameplay without context.

I’m placing a bet on Silent Hill 2 getting a PSVR2 mode tonight.

As long we get our next AAA VR game or two, I'll be happy.

I do have to wonder at what point this just falls under parody law though .

Borne of blood kart?

He didn't say no. 20 years is a summer break for SE dev times.

@3Above I'll try the beta too to see how it fares. It's a great idea.

Sony keeping it to the website and losing out on launch promotion and making take who want to buy it at a store as an awful Idea. It went into retail with little fanfare.

Fast travel is good, but placing limits on it can also be good for the most part. See RDR2, the first Dragon's Dogma, Morrowind, etc.
Some games just aren't meant to not have it and work better with it, like AC:Mirage, where exploration isn't part of the point like in DD.

Should be Unity.

That article headline took me a few rereads to understand. Quote marks around titles would make it so much easier.

This sounds like it was originally a good game then made into a live service game and wrecked completely. Corp just wanted buzzwords in their projects for a predictable disaster.

She looks like Ellie far more than Ellie does lol. I think they’re a season late in the casting.

@QualityGeezer I believe the first game didn’t have the time or the budget the Devs thought they would have and wanted.
DD2 is almost seems like less of a normal “sequel” and more like what he wanted the first game to to be lol.

So it got voted through a weighted system where it happened to be on enough people’s list? To saying nothing of artistic merit, advancing the industry forward. Your system begs for safe games that many people like in an 8/10 manner as opposed to giving a meaningful award.
I’m sorry but your system here is broken and makes your GotY list look like a joke.
You guys should be discussing meaningful achievements in gaming what will have influence on the industry. This is really sad and I know you guys can come together to make a more me sinful list. Ever since you started making a ton of lists, I feel the quality has done down.
Like you put out “best co-op games” while taking user ratings and then taking user rankings for any game with co-op regardless of the co-op quality.
This feels like a very low effort list with no serious consideration and was just done with a vote to save time.
I say this not to be rude, but to give constructive criticism because I know this site can do better.

This was the most disappointing game of the year for me by far. It was a potential game of the decade, only to fall apart as totally incomplete when you got to the end. It was an Early Access release sold as a finished game. It should be GoTY, but it’s not even close.
That being said, Spider-Man 2 gives the credentials of democracy much doubt and the fact that influence, doing something new, pushing the medium forward, etc, should all be considered by people voting and a safe super heir sequel, as good as it is, gets GotY over much more artistic and genre-pushing games makes me question who was allowed to vote and how shallow their thought process is, that safe flashy fun was enough to give such an award.

@DonkeyFantasy A 10/10 saying it delivered more than it promised….

Is this website ever going to acknowledge that BG3 shipped without its ending and only partially patched it in months afterwards? BG3 is one of the most atrocious cons I have evver no matter how good the feel acts are.
It should’ve BG3, but FF16 was fantastic and had its ending in full and didn’t train wreck breaking most of its promises. For

We need at least simple remasters of the Sly Collection and infamous 1&2.

There needs to be a law that says already purchased digital purchases super-cede any other listening agreement so this can’t legally happen. It can only be removed for sale.

So Resident Evil 2?

Does this count gamepass people who played for 10 minutes or actual copies sold?
I don’t know how I haven’t heard of a game that’s sold this well.

Great! I finished it, so I’m not sure how that will work, but I hope it doesn’t make it inconvenient.
I did keep multiple saves.

This seems more like a paid CR as than a service addition.

Why are we calling a game that had the ending as part of the cut content GotY? BG3 has lowered gaming standards overall, and they literally started, only started, patching in the ending 4 months after release.
And to be honest, this one is just kind of gross… and a huge distraction from actual issues. Sadly their attention grabbing is working like a charm.

@Scootybby Because you lose 3 companions on the evil route and gained one. The point of the game is to choose and live with what happens. It’s the same reason you should not Halsin for the sake of “options” if you kill all druids. Different paths should lock things out.

This is horrible. Minthara is supposed to be an evil route boon and emending that is just penalizing the evil route, which has a lot going for it, but needs some definite work. Letting a good player have all the companions with no consequence is an awful idea. Good or evil, this game needs consequences and this is removing them in a shortsighted manner.

@rjejr in what way was FF16 not complete? It’s one of the most complete games this year, and really in general. The game would have been fine never getting an update after it launched.

@This_Guy Don't be sorry lol , I'm glad someone is waiting for patches instead of praising a dev for "great post-launch support" because they're getting around (at least starting to) adding the ending a game months after release.
The QoL changes like the inventory and such are nice improvements post-launch, commendable for sure, but I've said my piece on other elements already.
A definitive edition may be the key words you're looking for as far as the patches truly slowing down.

@CallMeDuraSouka This is because the ending was cut content and didn't reflect a single thing you did, companion quests were unfinished, act 3 seems off with the lack of somethings, has a quest that blatantly is missing it's end.
The studio boasted about 17,000 variations of the ending while one of the two endings the game hypes for ages is a nonsensical 30 second cutscene, and the other isn't that much better. I'm not sure that ending will even be touched by this, but I hope it is. It totally railroads you at the end.
I genuinely regret buying the game at launch as it was incomplete and sold on lies.
It was an early access release at best that completely falls apart by the end. I cannot believe it got so many 10/10s.

The studio has a history of making definitive editions later on, and will probably do again, rewriting act 3 and making changes to the rest of the game is something they've done twice, I would wait for a long time to make sure they've updated the game before buying.

YES! They're actually adding in the ending to the game, it's still gonna need a lot more as act 3 is a slowly sinking ship that's not apparent at first, but is the titanic by end.

I want them to patch back in the ending to the game, no seriously, whatever it was supposed to be got cut and something very brief and shallow got added back in instead.

How about it addresses vital cut content like the ending? The game is obviously unfinished, got shipped anyway, then was sold on lies.

BG3 is an incomplete game sold on lies by the studio. The ending isn’t even half finished. It wasn’t ready for release at all.

That’s be a great Plus game, much better than Saints Row.

So many games could be shorter and better, or are just crafted differently, it doesn’t necessarily reflect cost to make or “value.” A crazy game might be 10H, but a longer game without the set pieces might also be there.
It’s a dangerous philosophy to follow. God of War Ragnorok , despite high quality moments, is 7/10 max to me because a third to half of the game is eating my time to have the good moments, or something decent takes much longer than it should. Because of that, it failed to meaningfully take any of the first game’s main issues and addressed more shallow ones I don’t even notice instead.
