@Dalamar I hate the term soulslike. So many features have existed since the 90s but get called soulslike.
Someone in the comments had the audacity to call Ninja Gaiden a soulslike. The ridiculousness aside, Team Ninja dont make souls games. Even the Nioh series is something different but gets called that.
When I finished the trilogy back in the day I swore I would never go back to it. The sheer amount of dialogue is insane but good games. Just a shame people couldn't go into Cold Steel already familiar with the characters.
Didn't even know Yotei was out soon. Too many other games I'm focused on. I still have to do all my runs with MGS3, then play Cronos, Hell is Us before Silent Hill and Time Stranger is out. Find time to play Gears reloaded. There's a bunch more later in October too. 3 games coming out on the 21st alone!
@PuppetMaster fans want an actual remake of FF7. Not the monstrosity that we got. Nomura clearly went insane making the KH games. Surprised he didn't call them Re:make and Re:birth.
Thankfully they didn't do this to Hollow Knight. I'm quite proud of my platinum trophy. Making games easier just gives people an excuse to avoid a challenge. Some games should be challenging. Difficult achievement is a cornerstone of videogames after all, that is being eroded away by modern times.
Reddit is a very useful tool for getting information on things. It's also a tiny bubble that doesn't represent any demographic. A lot of people on reddit don't understand that. They're the equivalent of someone using change.org thinking it will fix the world
@Tchunga I like Wilds but World was peak for me as a loooong time MH player. I kind of became MH fatigued so I dropped Wilds after a few weeks. It's just not significantly different to World or even Rise funnily enough.
When I was a child it has hard to afford consoles and games too. Not to say it's ok or normal for that to still be a thing, just that the more things change...
The old games are brutal so makes sense. Kinda hard for new people to learn the mechanics with ninja dogs zipping around murdering them in seconds.
From personal experience I find the best way in any game to git gud is to play the harder modes. You develop into a much better player and feel more rewarded.
I like linear games. I'm sick of everything being open world. I'm not bothered by the AI. Back then it was extremely rare to have good AI. F.E.A.R. and MGS2 in particular were standouts for pioneering a new level of enemy intelligence.
Bad Company 2 is indeed the best game in the series and probably the last one I spent an unhealthy amount of time on. It had the best gameplay, maps, atmosphere, players, theme. The campaign was alright too.
Janky, booty focused, and unfortunately uses the jurassic park dinos instead of real ones. I dont get why game devs still insist on this. One guy was making his own Dino Crisis inspired game and had to be told a couple of years ago that dinos dont actually look like that. He had the sense to change them to accurate versions during development.
Only the first 2 were good. SS and FL were particularly awful and it was clear the devs weren't fully invested in them. I had to force myself to complete them. Wish they would make an inFamous 3 with full commitment.
Been using it since it started and only because i have to for online stuff. For something that has existed this long it really should be better. There's just no innovation.

Re: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Reveals Another Pair of Playable Characters in Latest Gameplay Trailer
Your main page for this game has MvC 3 as the cover which was really confusing.
I think I will get this just to play Spiderman Venom and Wolverine

Time for some Wrasslin
Re: The First Silent Hill F Review Score Is Now Live
@PuppetMaster Skyrim 40/40 is obscene. I loved the game when it came out but that's nuts.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
Best graphics is going to be a game that is 1) recent 2) AAA 3) first party.
No surprise it's Death Stranding 2. Art direction isn't best graphics.
Re: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (PS5) - This Is How You Remake a Classic RPG
When I finished the trilogy back in the day I swore I would never go back to it. The sheer amount of dialogue is insane but good games. Just a shame people couldn't go into Cold Steel already familiar with the characters.
Joshua is the GOAT Trails character.
Re: Sony to 'Advance Position as Creative Leader in Single Player Experiences'
Someone has to. Multiplayer has been destroying gaming
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
The lolrandom humour was ok when the first one came out but it overstayed its welcome. I don't know how the series has stayed around for so long.
Re: Rumour: Wolverine PS5 Game Claws a 2026 Release, Venom Spin-Off to Follow
Can't wait for Venom. My favourite comic book character is finally getting some proper representation again.

Re: Dragon Quest 7 Returns in Reimagined Form, Out for PS5 in February 2026
All these DQ reduxes and no DQ8. If it's not the next one, we riot.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (August 2025)
Of course a remake of the greatest game ever made would win the vote.

@Elfuggingjefe what was the last good NHL game?
Re: Push Square Reader Survey 2025
Weird how you only show US dollar or GBP in the survey and not Euro at least. Not everyone is from the US or UK.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Metal Gear Solid 5, 10 Years Later?
@UnlimitedSevens I liked MGS2's story and it funnily enough is predicting the future. MGS without Kojima is weaker.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025?
I suppose it depends on if I already on SV or not
Re: Hell Is Us (PS5) - One of the Best Mystery Experiences on PS5
With that name I thought it was yet another world war fps game that I would be skipping. This sounds a lot more interesting, going to wishlist it.
Re: Atomfall Gets Another Story Expansion Pack with The Red Strain, Out in September
This game was so disappointing. It became a chore to finish so I know I won't be buying the dlc
Re: Preview: The Outer Worlds 2 Doubles Down on RPG Gameplay to Great Effect
Needs to do a lot to convice me because the first game was hugely disappointing.

Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta's Dismal PS5 Pro Support Could Use a Rethink
They can't be allowed to botch a remake of the greatest game of all time.

@twitchtvpat comment section is going completely fine actually.
Re: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Continues to Look Outstanding Ahead of 2026 PS5 Release
Is Jean Reno in it
Re: Black Myth: Zhong Kui Announced with Cinematic Teaser, Won't Be Out for a While
@PuppetMaster as a non American I love it when dubs aren't the usual generic american voices.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 PS1 Ports Disappoint with No Trophy Support on PS5, PS4
Literally the only advantage over traditional emulation is trophies and they don't add it 🤣
Re: Konami 'Forgiven' for Dropping Metal Gear Solid Voice Lead in Fifth Game
What I'm mad about is Kojima didnt try/get to remake Metal Gear 1 & 2 next, using both Kiefer and David.
Re: These 11+ PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (18th-24th August)
Grit & Valor and Sengoku Dynasty are the only interesting games in the new release list.
Re: 'We'll Continue to Evolve the PS Store': Sony on Making PS5, PS4 Shopping Better
You guys ask for too much. They don't even have the genre tags right. Lots of games got the wrong genre or are missing a tag.
Re: Jurassic Park Survival Is Shaping Up to Be a Dream PS5 Single Player Game
What everyone wanted: Dr. Alan Grant or similar
What we got: Mia Khalifa and pre rendered graphics.
Re: Hideo Kojima Alone Is Currently Working on PlayStation Exclusive Physint
Long painful wait for Physint.
Re: Battlefield 6 Has Taken 'Huge Inspiration' from the Best Game in the Series
Bad Company 2 is indeed the best game in the series and probably the last one I spent an unhealthy amount of time on. It had the best gameplay, maps, atmosphere, players, theme. The campaign was alright too.
Re: BioShock PS5 Sequel in Dev Hell, Remake of Original Scrapped
They won't even remove the streaming block on the Remasters. These guys can't get anything done.

Re: Digital Sales Make Death Stranding 2 PS5 Estimates Much Stronger
@DennisReynolds im 74 hours played in episode 10 and nowhere near done
Anyone who calls it a walking simulator havent played it. It's obviously a zip-lining simulator.
Re: Death Stranding 2 and Rematch Trade Blows in PS Store's Top Selling PS5 Games of June
@Oram77 Nightreign is good but too many players have no idea what to do which makes each run a time limited slog, then DS2 came out.

Re: Feature: The 20 Most Anticipated PS5 Games for the Rest of 2025
@Drago201 i played the PSP version, I don't need to play it again.
I had no idea Silent Hill was coming out this year. Hype meter just went up.
Re: Grimdark RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker Bites PS5 in 2026
Looks interesting. Gives me Legacy of Kain vibes.
Re: These 9+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (9th-15th June)
Only interested in Star Trucker and even then I'd have to get the PC version just in case someone decides to mod the 90s movie Space Truckers into it.

Re: No, Nioh 3 Isn't Open World, Despite Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin Experiment
@Ashina Souls games are open world.
Re: Don't Expect The Witcher 4 to Look Like That Unreal Tech Demo When It Launches on PS5
Don't expect the game to be in good order for about a year post release either. Their games have been more of a mess at launch as they got bigger.
Re: The Witcher 4 Gameplay Revealed, Running on PS5 at 60fps with Ray Tracing
That didnt look like 60fps
