@Balaam_ I think it's like soccer/football. You don't need a lot of gear or too much of a specialized setting to play, so most kids can just get some friends together w a stick and a ball and have fun.
...if you're into that sort of thing.

@Max_the_German I imagine something like "Marathon? That Mac FPS?" or "Marathon? The game that killed Bungie?"

I was pretty happy with the TR remasters. That first game was one of the few at the time that really pulled off the eerie, isolated atmosphere I dig so much. I'm glad they didn't futz w it too much.

Oh, live service, that's why I don't know what this is.

Shrug. Runs fine for me. Never had a frame drop that affected my enjoyment or the gameplay. Haven't had a single issue with screen tearing, with v-sync on. I also love BotW on base Switch and Perfect Dark on N64.
I agree that it is difficult to trust DF after their DLSS slop assessment. They may be incredibly well-versed in bleeding edge tech when it comes to fidelity, but that doesn't matter if they have the tastes of the average strip club patron.
...bet they all wear Axe body spray.

I think most of the divide here comes from how much the game is improved by the players all learning and exploring together. That most likely affected critics' scores. And you know, reviewers definitely playing the worst version.
Then there are people acting like the game is above reproach...I've heard, lol. Haven't ran into that.
Then there are people who haven't played it but tear down everything about the game for whatever reason.
I don't grab a ton of big AAA games at launch, but I thought it would be fun to be part of the discussion day one with this one. So far, trading tips and secrets has outweighed the weirdo takes.

There is a standard JPN version that is in English, also, on Play-Asia. Got mine already!

@Ziek1883 Asmongold also proudly supports genocide, so, you know, not exactly the voice of the hoi polloi.

6/10 imo. But like a real, actual 6/10. Not a Push Square 6/10.
That is mostly sarcasm.

This game looks rad af. I hope it does well.

@CallMeDuraSouka and I didn't say you did say CD was a bad game.

@AhmadSumadi can confirm that Cosmic Invasion with a 13 and seven year old is pretty much the best.

@PuppetMaster respect for the Genesis version of Batman and Robin. It had some problems, but it's an absolute banger. That OST was Jesper Kyd too. He is still making music in some pretty giant games.

@CallMeDuraSouka @Drnsnsr @Weebleman @JB_Whiting @1970sGamer @Futureshark
There are all of the comments here so far claiming that fans of this game are crazies who will not hear it besmirched.
Following are the comments here from fans yelling about the game being besmirched...
(Crickets)
There is an obvious and pronounced hate boner for CD. I don't get many big games day one, so I just figured this was what the discourse looked like.

I picked it up day one, and I have been having such a wonderful time. I said since maybe a few months ago that I was worried it would be broken at launch. It wasn't, just needs some love.

@SteveJaye I am truly sorry for the spooky scary comments. Let's just pretend it is the fault of Space Invaders, keep things on brand.
FYI no one knew you were "anti-Trump" until you said so, in this comments section, soooooo....

At this point, I find solidarity with Stormy Daniels. Just waiting for the President to finish so I can get some damned sleep.

@LifeGirl I know I say it here a lot, but for me, the PS5 is mostly for my PS4 library. The kids are on it constantly, but most of what they play are on PS4 as well (besides Teardown and Astro).

@JoeNobody I won't assume.

@Drnsnsr I have been playing for around 30 hours. The performance has not caused a single issue for me. Screen tearing in performance mode does not happen at all, so no idea what that was about either. Quality mode has been a very stable 30fps that did not affect gameplay. Just baffled here.

Sorry but the technical performance qualms here are completely overblown. Kind of one of those reviews that makes me not trust the reviewer, because some of this is just not true.

@ChromaticDracula nice! I get so giddy whenever a new Evercade cartridge is on the way.

@opo02 always beautiful to behold. These people will end up eating each other if they agree or not.

@ChromaticDracula I highly suggest the Super Pocket. They each are themed and come with pre-loaded games, but also have an Evercade slot on the back. The carts come in plastic clamshells, are pretty bulky, and come with great art and manuals. I have the Neo-Geo black edition and I love it.

Ooooof. Think I will be finishing Crimson Desert and dropping out. It has been a while coming now. The world is really awful rn and this place I go to just have fun with cool art is too cynical.

@species wonder how much Ball X Pit cost to develop lol.

The hilarious thing is that those budgets don't need to be anywhere close to these numbers. If a game is fun, I will play it. My seven year old loves Mario, Astrobot, Teardown, TABS, Wreckfest, Minecraft (of course), and Rayman, ya know?

That game was rad, but I think Sonic Superstars came out around that time so I was obviously busy playing Mario Wonder.
...lol.

@Vyse_the_Legend a group of Sonic fans is called a "sicko," fyi.

I tried with it.

@Yousef- just imagine that in the hands of Digital Eclipse. Drool.

Not super into these games, but happy for fans.

The same people winging about journalists will be either using the guides those journalists create, watching a YouTuber who can be bought and sold with free games/a trip/etc, or listening to "influencers" who just parrot what they read on big scary sites like Polygon or Kotaku.
It's hilarious.

@Doomcrow ...the Decepticons are winning? Tell me, are these compromised individuals in the room with us now?

The hate boner some people have for this game is so weird lol.

@Oram77 I am not a fan of any 3D Sonic game or game in which him and his pals speak out loud.

@StarZinger I honestly think it is gorgeous and runs really well. I am 20 hours on.

I bought a book called Trigger Warning (used) and sent it to my best friend. It is the dumbest and most hilarious thing I have ever read.

@Oram77 I came to that conclusion with Sonic Adventures 1 and 2.

"Next best thing" to a 3D Sonic is such an insulting description of any game, lol.

@PeteyPiranha I mean I have both and disagree with that. You should actually play CD. It's a lot of fun.

This disc killed my PS5 disc reader. It has been stuck in there since release.

@KingPev Retro Achievements, lol. I don't care about trophies, but that is a thing with emulation.

I had a few crashes bringing up the map, and the next morning that was fixed. Neat.
I am loving this game.

@tselliot his avatar is from the Michael Bay TMNT...Just sayin'.

@Dalamar If they just sold to Japan, games would not do well enough to keep the lights on. I am not saying you are wrong, but that is obviously why they try to appeal to western tastes.

SF is so embarrassing now.

It looks fun but the anime story mode BS is a huge turnoff to me.

@DestructionAllstars how do you know it isn't a rage bait story for people with your view of things like this? Seem pretty upset.

@Max_the_German Huh. I think "slavjank" is the opposite of complicated. Weird.
