@Oram77 If the continuous retcons of MGS4 and 5 have taught me anything, it is that this series is best left without Kojima in it as his ideas were starting to get nonsensical. The whole cast of MGS3 is now evil and there is a guy just off camera in every scene cleaning up after Snake. What next?

I would rather a reboot with fresh blood tbh.

@nomither6 @Can-You-Believe-Sith We've had both and they sucked.

@ChrisDeku Please enlighten me as to what that is.

@scoobdoo The reason why PS gave it 8/10 is because calling a good game "the best game that the PS5 has ever seen" is grade-A hyperbole.

@Zman0069 First day on the internet?

There has been a 31% drop in viewership since Pascal left the show. They made a very serious mistake in doubling down on Joel's death and it is costing them.

My view on this is the same as the Atari Classics collection. It might make a good birthday present for your dad but modern gamers will not find much here.

I still hate this art direction tbh. So, so much lime green.

@heavyartillery56 Lol. Not if I'm starting at 100 and the people making the decisions are at 1000 it isn't.
By your logic, by the time the people that we are trying to "punish" reach my starting level I'm going to be at -900.

@heavyartillery56 "I'm losing money but at least everyone else is too" is not the killer argument that you seem to think it is.

@heavyartillery56 Negotiating your prices upwards would have been a Simpsons joke once upon a time.
Now not only is it our reality but is apparantly worthy of praise. What a time to be alive.

They are deliberately bringing it closer to the PS6 to sell it to you twice. I promise you.

It is what it is - an expensive test bed for the PS6.
Those of you hoping for the next generation console to be revolutionary are going to be disappointed.

Open world sandbox games are great if there actually is an open world.

Too many devs just think "here is tons of empty space for you to run around in" and then just leave it there.

Looking at you FF15.

@ChrisDeku There is a middle ground between this and what we've been getting though.

@RawnDawn I was skeptical for the simple reason that no one else has done this with the PS5.

It kind of pisses me off actually as it just confirms what I've been saying about how lackluster the PS5 has been up until this point. Why I have I spent years playing what are at best PlayStation 4.5 games when the base system was always capable of producing something that looks like this?

@UltimateOtaku91 Yep. Rockstar has gotten just a little too much out of the PS5 here for my liking.

The era of exclusivity is dead for everyone except Nintendo. PlayStation on PC, Xbox on PlayStation.
The console wars simply are not profitable any more.

It looks too good to be true tbh.

@Northern_munkey That's the reason for the delays imo.
Release a nerfed version, wait for the PS6, make another 100 dollars.

With the exception of the graphics this currently looks exactly like GTA5.

It's a winning formula I get that, but it's still a little disappointing.

@RagnarLothbrok Have you actually ever read Kotaku? They are not a site that cares about that sort of thing.

What worries me looking at these screenshots is that a lot of its satire is going to be outdated by the time of its release thanks to the constant delays.

Season 2 has tanked in viewership since Joel got a Hole in One by 31%.

My personal opinion is that all of those non-gamers who had absolutely no idea of the twist were confronted by the exact same question that we've been asking for the better part of a decade now: ''Was it worth it?'' and many have replied with a firm fat ''no'' and turned off.

Your continued enjoyment is probably also dependent on your opinion as to whether Pascal was carrying Ramsay or not.

Once again the adage ''just make good games and they will come'' has been proven correct.

@SteveJaye 9.5 times out of 10 you get one first impression.

My review of this comment section so far: Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Press the attack command to win.

That's what FF has always been. All of those menus, status effects, magic spells, skills, items, skill trees... 9 times out of 10 they are all completely irrelevant. The only thing that has changed today is that FF has dropped the pretense of choice.

You think you do, but you don't.

Your typical looks over talent actress. Unfortunately that means that it'll probably make bank.

I'm sick of people continuously saying that PS Premium is expensive. It is the same price as three brand new games.

That's it. Three games. For the value of nearly five hundred.

I could only have dreamed of a service like this back in the 90s.

Don't worry, GTA5 will be back in a month or two lol.

In my personal opinion Pascal has been carrying Ramsay throughout most of this show so far.
She has a lot to prove on her own and from what I've seen I am not convinced that she can pull it off.

I genuinely forgot that this game existed tbh.

Well yeah... of course the premiere of season 2 has more viewers than season 1. It would be more surprising if it did not.

@PaperAlien There is more chance of pigs discovering how to manifest the avian powers of Red Bull than human beings suddenly treating each other with respect on the internet.

@ChrisDeku Can you give me some examples of the "toxic nonsense" and the "rage" that you speak of? Because I'm not seeing it tbh.

I don't think "the scene" will happen until the last episode if it happens at all. We'll see. TV shows rarely survive for long after it loses its biggest star and they'll know that if they are worth their salt.
And yes, like it or not, Pascal is the name draw of this show.

What a tiresome off-topic thread this is morphing into. We are here to talk about a game, not politics.

Art style is a real make or break for me and I do not like this. Too much white, too much lime green.
Plus, knowing the publisher, it'll become microtransaction hell pretty quickly which dampens any enthusiasm that I may have had going in.

A relic of an era whereby Phoebe Waller Bridge was getting hired for projects far out of her comfort zone.

You find that with Hollywood for some odd reason. Someone becomes cock of the walk due an unrelated project and suddenly they seem to be involved with everything.

My issue with this stat is that the word ''RPG'' has become incredibly diluted to the point that it now covers a wide variety of games that have very little in common. Meanwhile something that calls itself a Battle Royale is actually very easy to pin down as being a Battle Royale.

I wonder how many of these games actually fit our personal definitions of what an RPG is. Or even the official one if such a thing exists.

I cannot describe the first game as being anything else other than incredibly average.

It did nothing that stood out and yet did nothing all that wrong either. I played it once and then forgot about it immediately.

There is potential here but they need to do a lot better than "Fallout but now it's in space!!"

This'll be the ultimate test of whether this franchise is as popular as Sony thinks it is/wants it to be. Will it prove the massive investment true or will it become yet another Horizon spin-off flop?

Jim Sterling always used to point out that the problem with this concept is that frequently you are only paying for half a game. The final product is chopped up and sold back to you as microtransactions, DLC, season passes etc.

£80 for a game might be excusable if you actually got £80 worth of game. The actual price for the whole package is often in the region of £150.

BTW, isn't "meh, I'll just wait for discounts" and there's no way I'll ever pay rather much" basically the same question?

My ability to resist FOMO is legendary. I'll play your game eventually, but it won't be for £80 I can promise you that.

@Mattock1987 I disagree that she is a good actress who nailed the role.

But the world would be very boring if we all agreed on everything huh?

I would do what Joel did to save my dog so you can imagine how far i would go to save my child. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I'm glad people enjoy KH but never could get into it myself. This goes beyond your typical convoluted JRPG storyline into "i just didn't get it". Good work if you got something out of it though.
