@BrockSmith @starbuck2212 Imagine having an account on a hardcore gaming website such as this and reacting like that to the people who make video games possible. Really, really disappointing to see.
@wiiware That’s not the point of a review. A review is to judge whether a game is good or not regardless of price. Does the score go up if a game is put on sale? Does the score go down if a game becomes rare and is sold for more on eBay? That’s not how any of this works, so price is very rarely a factor.
If we’re only ever judging whether a game is worth its price, then 50+ hour RPGs are only ever a 10/10 and short indie games score poorly.
@lindos I can't speak to the accessibility report because it's provided by an external company, but I've just checked the PS5 version for you and I'm afraid there's no option to swap the thumbsticks in-game.
@DeathlySW Yes it does! I can't remember everything that carries over, but you're given the option of starting a New Game+ playthrough or jumping back into your current game and then starting a second run later on.
@Constable_What I can't speak to the demo as I hardly played it, but I found the controls fairly responsive. They didn't feel clunky to me in the final version.
@Flora2122 Haha yes it does, but it doesn't happen on the actual character. It happens elsewhere.
@Athrum I didn't play much of the demo, but I know it's been made better in the final game. You can also upgrade the dodge to make it more viable, adding extra movements and using it on the ground. I didn't have many issues with it after upgrading it once.
@mariomaster96 For the PS5 version, sure. If you look at the listings for the PC and Xbox Series X versions, there are outlets that have scored it lower than me.
@ArmoredMore I did like the game! A 7/10 means a "Good" game on our review scale. I think Armored Core 6 is a consistently good game that I enjoyed throughout, but I don't think it reaches the heights required for an 8 or above.
@nessisonett I agree it's crappy when he breaks embargoes, but none of his PlayStation hardware leaks is him doing that. Otherwise, we'd know about it too.
@pip_muzz It's in at number 8 right now, 4.9 million copies sold for the PS5, PS4 remake. On the Capcom website, the original game is split across multiple different versions so the overall figure isn't displayed.
@Fiendish-Beaver I know only PC code has been sent out, we’ve no idea when PS5 keys will come through. We’re not doing any coverage of tomorrow’s PC version, so I don't know if the final version is any good or not. I hope it is!
@KaijuKaiser @Fiendish-Beaver PC code was sent out on Sunday, so I wouldn't expect reliable, scored reviews for a while. Obviously, we'll be waiting for the PS5 version next month.
@rjejr Microsoft and the CMA are now trying to work out a deal with the UK situation. I believe something’s supposed to happen in the next few days, possibly as soon as tomorrow.

Re: Amy, Knuckles, and Tails Playable in Last Sonic Frontiers Update, Out Now
@Dr-zoidburg I don't believe so, it doesn't look like any of the free updates have bundled in new Trophies unfortunately.

Re: Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways (PS5) - Ada Wong Fronts More Sublime RE Action
@naruball I can assure you they don’t. Those sorts of comments aren’t common.

Re: Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways (PS5) - Ada Wong Fronts More Sublime RE Action
@Dange The cost of something very rarely factors into a review, but it's $9.99.
Re: Preview: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Plays Like PS5 Superhero Perfection
@Cashews This was mandated by the preview and those hosting the event lol
Re: Preview: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Plays Like PS5 Superhero Perfection
@Flippygruffle @NathanKang The preview was played on the 30fps Quality Mode, but there will be a 60fps Performance Mode too.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for September 2023?
@rjejr Because we're still doing this thing called "working" close to midnight.

Hi everyone, I've been really impressed with Lies of P during my time playing it. If you have any questions, feel free to copy me in.
Re: Ubisoft's XDefiant Fails PlayStation, Xbox Certification
@DennisReynolds Please read the article. The certification process has nothing to do with picking up on game bugs and glitches.

Re: Red Dead Redemption Out on PS4 This Month, Not a Remaster
@Loamy It is a port. The only addition is new language options.
Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Suggest It's One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
@Fiendish-Beaver I am planning on taking a fair bit of time off this year, so maybe!
Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Suggest It's One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
Starfield comes first for me, but then I'll probably be all over this on the Christmas break.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Bear Sex Just the Tip of the 'Horny' Iceberg, Apparently
@Fiendish-Beaver Oh yeah, I hope nobody has pushed themselves to have a scored review tomorrow. It's not fair on them.

Re: Dhaba: Land of Watermarks Revealed as Another China Hero Game on PS5
@riceNpea Good job I'm not being paid by the article then isn't it! They are two different games that warrant their own articles.
Re: Preview: Armored Core 6 Could Give Newer FromSoftware Fans Whiplash
@dr-gorgo Members of the gaming media are invited to play the game at a venue all in the same place. They don't pay us anything for covering the game.
Re: Preview: Armored Core 6 Could Give Newer FromSoftware Fans Whiplash
@Chaotic_Goat I played on a PC with a PS5 controller, and it ran fine.
Re: Somerville Is the Next Xbox, PC Exclusive Plotting PS5, PS4 Ports
@JustPlainLoco Nah, it's a few developers who left Playdead to form their own studio.
Re: Remnant II (PS5) - Dark Souls with Guns Still Has Room to Grow
@Pixipantalon "On PS5 at least, getting a team together is a little clunky at launch with a broken invite system and a confusing matchmaking option."
Re: Remnant II (PS5) - Dark Souls with Guns Still Has Room to Grow
@Throb You can’t, it’s just like Dark Souls where the game is still live around you when in the menus.
Re: Somerville Is the Next Xbox, PC Exclusive Plotting PS5, PS4 Ports
I personally really liked this game when I played it on Xbox Series X. Recommended!
Re: Site News: Where's Our Remnant 2 PS5 Review?
@KAIRU I'm reviewing it.
Re: PS Store Summer Sale Live Now, Get All the Best PS5, PS4 Deals Here
@Kidfried It's worth noting the PS4 version did actually get a PS5 patch later on. It's not a native PS5 version, but it does now look and run better: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/11/psychonauts-2-treated-to-a-ps5-patch

Re: Sony and Microsoft Sign a 'Binding Agreement' to Keep Call of Duty on PlayStation
@Tharsman Do you have a link to an article discussing this apparent deal? I’ve only ever heard about one for Call of Duty, not every IP.
Re: Forgotton Anne Sequel Forgotlings Needs Your Help Getting Funded
@somnambulance I loved the first game so definitely eager to get the word out about Forgotlings before the Kickstarter deadline
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection: All Games Included and What to Play First
@RatmCky The games will be available separately, and you can’t really put a game out without Trophies.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection: All Games Included and What to Play First
@pushtriangle You're right, completely forgot it's PS5 only!
