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.

It’s probably good in a way that the disc will have so many patches on it.

@Deljo They made a product deadline which was unfeasible from the get go. They changed their minds far too late, and the product quality suffered too. This was poorly managed. There’s a huge difference between not being strictly 9-5 and changing your mind on a project very late.

@czDante92 Not to mention it's kind of flimsy, a series about blending in, so you find the most conspicuous character ever to use? He automatically breaks one of the tenants of the Creed through no fault of his own basically. It's also not even him, it's someone "based on him". Why not just have a Japanese Samurai? It's like finding that one Irish guy in Africa and having a flaming redhead be what you play as for a game about African tribes, citing that one incident. It's insane. It also is insanely inaccurate still. I don't care if one existed, playing as Carrot Top in that setting would be stupid and we all know it.

Circling it? Not really, Twitter/X is much better than it was before. Elon has improved it a lot.

Hey, want to pass us those Bethesda games then? Redfall can be forgotten, but give us the rest if that’s true.

Does it matter if you’ve played the first one?

I think more scripting is good so it’s not James Bond Hitman edition.
I want to play as Daniel Craig. I don’t think that’ll happen though.

Also, we need Hitman 3 in PSVR2. I’m surprised we haven’t gotten and I hope Sony wasn’t so soghtshroter as to only hire them for a PSVR1 version. It would be an insane showcase for the PSVR2.

If they ask this to get taken down, they should fight it under parody laws. This is hilarious, and I’m not a lawyer, but I do have a feeling that this is definitely a parody that’s protected under parody laws.

@Bentleyma That’s just because of rights, Quantam Break(owned by MS) also gets referenced in Alan Wake 2. All of them are there, some just not in an “official capacity”.

@Bentleyma They already did. Max Payne is in Alan Wake 2, his voice and face are there, it's just a different name because Rockstar has the rights, but almost all Remedy games take place in one universe.

@SgtTruth We just got RE8VR, RE4VR is coming more than soon enough if you any sense of pacing at all.

It looks kinda neat, but could be better. This should have only focused on Ezio, and should especially not have a random fantasy spartan mercenary.
I have heard good things though, and I hope it comes to PSVR2. Sony needs to get deals like so the games can't even run on a quest in the first place.

@RachaelWest Thanks for the response! Why not get those out before reviews and have better reviews as a first impression?

It sounds like it'll be good after some patches. That statement is too common, but we once did just have to deal with bugs like this forever, so it's a double edged sword.

That took way too long. Hopefully we the PS4 patch notes soon too. But this really is nice.

@Dramlin Is there a non-framerate quality option mode that helps it drop? I feel like framerate drops are a feature in this series.

Good news, but I’m worried the PS5 version will stabilize the framerate I can’t wait for next gen only EDF to come up with new ways to wreck the framerate.

@Triumph741 The formula of being an assassin never got old. It just needs to have good core mechanics behind it. With the shaky RPG foundation, yet good ideas and passion the devs brought, I’m glad it’s a smaller game; but I’ll happily take a Unity sized game for full price I’ll play for ages if I can get an improved Unity foundation.
