FINALLY RE 2 & 3 are available on at least ONE modern platform. I don't want these older games to get completely supplanted by their remakes.

The dystopia cometh

Fan service vs sunday service in the comments

@JaBrony123 I'd say it's likely due to industry bloat and people in managerial positions who shouldn't be. They get to be too expensive to justify keeping in development, meanwhile the actual quality of the game is under the floor or stuck in hell because of mismanagement.
It's certainly disappointing to hear if you're anticipating the game, but at least games like Perfect Dark and Wonder Woman had the decency to be cancelled. Some trash games just get released anyways lol

I doubt a BioShock made today would be any good, but thanks to indies there's no shortage of Immersive Sim type / atmospheric shooters, so no great loss here.

Time for Big Wheel to rev up and put a spin on the competition

@naruball A monumental flop. Outlaws will be long forgotten within the decade, whereas the bards will tell tale and sing songs about the great failure that is Concord

I'm okay with the roster having 30 Dr. Dooms

I don't think it'll blow me away but it looks pretty damn good. I'll be playing this right after Tsushima for the first time. Looking forward to both, though more towards the first because of its stellar reputation.

Hope Neil was taking notes

@Lanmanna Welcome to the internet dude, opinions abound. My original comment was rejecting the first guy's notion of only being able to judge something if you've bought and played it yourself. That's bs, trailers are made to be judged. There's no such thing as some unanimous correct opinion.

I've yet to finish either Expedition 33 or Monster Hunter Wilds. But the former is easily the best thing I've played this year and it's not even close. I haven't played much new this year yet, but here are the rankings (for all platforms) so far:

1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Love this game. Currently running as my game of the year uncontested
2. Nitro Express (PC only for now) - Really fun and chaotic Metal Slug style run & gun. Excellent art style, is decently challenging and still respects your time
3. The Midnight Walk - Decent walking sim. Not much going on in the gameplay department but it's worth a play to soak in the art and atmosphere (not worth the $40 asking price though, wait for a sale)
4. Monster Hunter Wilds - MH formula has been simplified to the point where this game is simply not any fun to me. Extremely dull gameplay and constantly drags you kicking and screaming into its garbage story.
5. Mario Kart World (Sw2 obviously) - Open world is at odds with MK's core design. Makes for some of the most uninspired tracks and the most meandering races I have ever experienced in a Mario Kart game. Absolutely NOT worth the $80 asking price.

Special mention to the first Kingdom Come Deliverance, which I played through the first half of the year. It's become one of my all-time favorites and I'm excited to jump into the sequel when time allows!

Seeing Bloober's name did the opposite for me. But what they've shown doesn't look bad so I'll keep an eye on it.

Have we seen any gameplay of Ghost of Yotei yet? I've only seen the initial trailer which I only remember it being a CG, then the wolf trailer from the latest SoP.

@Torque me

Been waiting for this one for a while now actually. I remember when it was called Hitler's Legacy and the premise was the protagonist being the long lost half-Japanese grandson of the funny mustache man or something to that effect.

Like anything the story has probably seen a lot of changes through development.

Hopefully the simpler story of SH1 plays to their advantage. And maybe this time they don't bloat the original's brisk pace with tedious combat.

A lot actors involved with this did their movement no favors on social media. Maybe next time they shouldn't resort to harassing the VAs that replaced them and insulting the only people who would reasonably care about their cause 🤷

@Keyblade-Dan Exactly lol! People have got so obsessed with this 'evil negative gamers' narrative that they're abandoning common sense

Pretty damn strong, I'm in the market for nearly everything that got showcased.

Midnight Walk is the only thing on this list that I played. Fantastic production but not much of an actual game.

Nitro Express is my pick for May games, chaotic Metal Slug style shoot-em-up on steam. Short, sweet, and cheap, easy recommend!

Lol these comments.
Who knew the convent had free wi-fi

@Coolmusic Bummer.

Potentially great news being freed from the Square Enix shackles! The first TWEWY is a masterpiece, and though I don't love the sequel nearly as much it's still a super unique game that's stuck with me since I've played it.

Hopefully not a gacha but those designs certainly look gacha-esque

Goodwill can keep that one.

@get2sammyb I'm sure that'll happen with me too eventually, but for now so long as I'm logging in daily I might as well go for every character. Even if that means I have to pay for one every once in a while.

With that standard s-rank selector I'll finally be able to get Rina and have every agent in the game. I've been lucky enough to win the last FIVE 50/50s (Evelyn, Anby, Trigger, Vivian, and Hugo)!

Lighter is so far the only character I've specifically spent money on ($100 on his final day in 1.3), but I've also bought two of the battle passes and one or two of those "limited encrypted master tapes" deals in order to sure up resources for Astra and Ellen in 1.5.
I don't bother with the W-Engines, which I'm sure has helped too.

I'm playing through all the DOOMs before I get to the Dark Ages (currently on 64). After hearing much about the game I'm not really in a hurry to pick it up. Probably gonna get it digitally at a discount since the disc has practically nothing on it.

As of last night I extended the list to include Wolfenstein, Heretic, Quake, and some American McGee games to bide out more time for a sale.

Soul Sacrifice wasn't anything special but it was a lot of fun. I recommend it if they ever throw it onto the PS Store.

I'm thinking the reason we haven't seen any sales data is likely because the sales are somewhere under 3 million, which would only look bad for Ubisoft after boldly announcing the game reached "3 million players". And since the game's momentum died before 4 million players, they had to stop with the weasel milestones. Granted AC games have legs and will undoubtedly sell more as the game starts to get significant discounts.

This article reads like it came from another universe lol

Hey... I know the situation seems hairy now, but as the head actress, it's best to not wig out over these haters bald-face lies. Years from now you'll see that they all scalped the game anyways, so use this as an opportunity for growth 😁

I'm currently over half way through the game. There's definitely a lot of imagination in the world and characters, but yeah the actual gameplay experience is extremely shallow. Not worth the $40 price tag if you ask me. Wait for a sale or watch a longplay on YouTube to see if it strikes you.

I've played up to the first boss. This game is ***** awesome

Reminds me of that list of top 10 or something iconic video game characters of all time that featured Lara Croft at the top and like 2 or 3 characters from Baldur's Gate III lol

I think this guy might like Eve from Stellar Blade

Looks cool but I wish they'd call these new games something else if their settings don't have anything to do with the town of Silent Hill or its history.

Not really seeing the controversy here with the information given. The actress for S11, who is on strike, refused to reprise the role so they recast her.
The actor for Lycaon claims he was available the entire time, but the character's gone unvoiced for the last two updates before being recast, so obviously we don't have the full story there.

I understand a lot of people are quick to jump to a company bad, little guy good stance. And that's not a terrible thing, you probably ought to be skeptical of corporations due to their capacity to manipulate and exploit said little guy. But context should also matter, and in scenarios like these where the actor says one thing and the company says another it's probably best to reserve judgment or at least add a qualifier to it until we have a more objective story on our hands.
If for nothing else, you'll take less risk looking like a fool in the future, or a reactionary, virtue signaler etc

I'll actually start having her on teams now ever since Qingyi basically replaced her in 1.1. They need to do the same for Billy.

Jokes on you Crapcom, I'll just delete my whole save file and start my character from scratch, you sleazy *****.

@TheDudeKenobi I get it, it can be annoying when someone is flippant about something they don't even really engage with. But if someone doesn't like seeing Spike in Fortnite where else would they voice that other than the announcement of Spike coming to Fortnite, y'know?

Hey, at least Spike actually uses a gun in his source material. Not like seeing Spider-Man blast people with an assault rifle lol

@TheDudeKenobi Not really no. I'm not opposed to crossovers, but I don't like how Fortnite does it where iconic characters are just plastered over the player avatar and don't retain any of their characteristics.
Game itself is fine though, I wasn't really into it but I didn't hate what I played way back. I replied to your comment because I think the whole 'evil negative gamers' narrative that's been going around the last year or so is really bad.

@TheDudeKenobi
Well it's plenty warranted to the people who dislike the thing,
and the choice is yours to engage with dissenting opinions on a topic. But "let people enjoy things" essentially just means "I don't want you to voice that opinion unless it aligns with mine".

@beltmenot Or what? Are you going to call the reaction police? People can't control what they don't like, and you don't get to decide if their feelings for something are warranted or not.

@TheDudeKenobi Do you need something to be universally praised in order to enjoy it? Let people not like the things they don't like!

Disappointing but not a surprise, the game's been drastically babified since World. They're still fun for what they are at least, I'm sure WIlds is no different.

Now's a better time than ever for AA successes. Smaller budget games with a lower price tag in a period where AAA games are consistently tripping over themselves.
Just, you know, actually try to sell the damn games rather than cripple them out the gate with poor marketing.

@Sarcasmatwork No problem. Bring back "pwned" too while you're at it.
