Glad to hear they sorted out the ridiculous difficulty spikes from the first game. It made me think about quitting a few times.

Just finished The Great Ace Attourney games on my Switch and they were incredible. Glad to hear the series is continuing.

@Boucho11 Balan Wonderworld.

Did they implement them using child labor?

@Marquez How is the streaming quality? I'm interested in this as my living room TV is out of commission often, but every streaming experience I have had has been rough. I meet the recommended internet speed but it regularly chunks up and significantly drops resolution.

I wish there was a way to try it before purchase.

@LifeGirl 'Gamers' are not a single hive-minded entity. They are a demographic made up of millions of individuals with differing opinions.

2023 is going to be one of those years we look back on. So many good games, so little time.

Article about Lies of P doing well. Half the comments are about Starfield. That game seems to be living rent free inside some of your heads.

I've just done the second boss on Lie of P. I'm very impressed with it so far. As someone who thought the open world aspect of Elden Ring was a step-back from the more linear levels of the Dark Souls games, I'm really enjoying it.

Clearly Embracer's strategy of hoarding IP and then becoming acquired isn't working. I wonder how much money has been lost.

@Vivisapprentice The timing for the bounce isn't as it hits Valere, it's slightly before. Hit the button when the projectile is 3 thirds of the way to her and speed up as it goes on.

I'm about 10 hours in and absolutely loving the game. It's how I remember old school JRPGs but without all the grinding and tedium. Top stuff.

This looks fantastic. The visual style is very reminiscent of Breath of Fire 4.

The first one is one of my favourite metroidvanias. Love the setting and the art style. Will pick this one up soon, glad to hear it has turned out well.

I agree it's an interesting wrinkle but bought exclusivity can do one. Rubbish for the customer.

Just in time for MH World 2 to be announced.... So tasty!

Didn't I just see an article today about how confident Blizzard were that this game will launch without any issues? Good start.

@themightyant It's because Konami = bad. Which, to be fair, is a fairly decent take on them over the past decade or so. If it was a series made by Capcom then people wouldn't have the same concerns due to a single person leaving.

I hope this is good/ does well. Konami are sitting on a treasure trove of IP.

@LiamCroft something stinks of Derby...

Leave my Forest alone.

@Rob_230 thanks for the heads up. Had no idea.

@PSme I understand your point and didn't intend to call you a fanboy. Apologies if it seemed that way. I was more referencing the console wars that seem to happen on social media.

Anyways, back on topic, it's going to be a killer year for PS. Let's hope they have some games to announce soon.

@GADG3Tx87 Yeah, and it's just as wrong over there. The fanboying clamour for companies to buy others out is so weird. It's just another example of having to 'pick a side' which seems to permeate popular culture.

@PSme Why? They are already partnered closely with Sony. The games already exist there. All that would do it stop people on other platforms from enjoying their games.

@Matroska thanks for the heads up. Triple dipping on it tonight.

It's really amusing to think this genre was all but dead 7 or 8 years ago. Metroidvania fans eating good these days.

@FredBiletnikoff Maybe those people were just caught short.

Aw, I thought this was being added to extra when I saw the thumbnail. Been tempted to pull the trigger on this a few times.

Awesome. I'm halfway through Forbidden West and absolutely loving it. It took me a while to pick it up due to the lukewarm reception from a lot of people, maybe that's why I am enjoying it so much. My expectations were lowered.

That's awesome. I'm very interested in this game.

@themcnoisy Thats really interesting. Thanks for the info mate. I think I'll keep driving my old banger until it gives in then...

@Michael2008ish Cutscenes aren't the issue since very little is pre rendered nowadays. The 4k textures and audio files are what take up most of the space.

I thought the 'power of the PS5' was supposed to reduce file sizes thanks as a consequence of not having to store multiple copies of assets. 147GB is insane.

Seems the stock limitations are pretty much over. Good stuff. Hopefully the rest of the market will start getting back to normal and things like second hand cars will drop in price again.

@danlk1ng It's always projection with people like them. I'm not sure what debate he is having with himself. Is anyone here denying the basic principles of supply and demand? This is a very strange (but mildly entertaining) comments section.

Trolls out in full force I see.

I'm playing through Forbidden West at the minute and Aloy is such a good character. Confident but empathetic.

@Kidfunkadelic83 4 and 6 are easily the best. They have a great story and great characters. 5 is also decent but lacking in the story department.

Without nostalgia I'd say it's best to avoid 1, 2 and 3.

Can drop me off at home on the way. I drive past that power station regularly. It's an absolute eyesore.

@Flaming_Kaiser Yeah. People pay a stupid amount for overpriced paintings too.

@JohnSmitheroo What the hell? Is the racism really necessary?

On topic, I don't see the appeal of collectors editions. Do people actually use the extra tat that comes with them? Or does it just sit on a shelf collecting dust?

@Slayer25c Yeah, and they should have stuck with that.

Should have stuck with Soken. That guy is a genius.

The amount of gate keeping in this comment section is crazy. I'm so glad I can enjoy games without over analyzing what genre it is, whether it is worthy of a brand name etc.

This is unironically the best VR game out right now. It's great.

@nomither6 It was not a beta. Game has been out for a year. This is just a marketing ploy hoping to get an initial boost on the next release. It isn't going to work. Game simply isn't good enough to keep people invested long term.

Their character design really fell off of a cliff after the first game huh? Most of the heroes in Overwatch 1 looks really cool and unique.

Zoom the camera out further please.

You have to be an absolute idiot to spend money on crap like this.

Had my eye on this one since it released. Looking forward to playing it.

The beta was fine. Not overly impressive or disappointing. Once it was over I fired 3 back up on the Switch. That game is fantastic.

Absolutely devastating. One of my favourite actors. RIP.

Christ. This guy clearly has no idea how difficult/ how long it takes to make a game. Looking forward to seeing FIFA waste money on a pointless endeavour. I guess it won't matter though, they can always swindle and extort more.
