@Northern_munkey There are lots of those. You should take some time to look.

I'll get the ground floor version digital then the complete version on a cart in a year or two, hopefully.

@Vyse_the_Legend Enjoy!

I know I'll be nose to the grindstone with Silksong, but I'm definitely getting both.

@nessisonett I'm guessing that they won't understand that the players who've made insane videos of Skate 3 to kind of spread the word were doing it because the physics were so nuts, and they will instead take the message that players want an easier way to share on SM.

@Mr_Singh Same as it ever was. If it is successful or not, it will get extortionate and then die unceremoniously while everyone tells EA how they should've done it. And most likely, those people will be right.

@Bentleyma Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, those two NFT games, Hooters: Road Trip, a whole bunch of Rabbid games, AC Unity, and Watchdogs. But yeah a lot of times they are at least competent. I usually burn out on them as they get too repetitive and long in the tooth.
I also think the early AC games play terribly, and played terribly when they were current, even. Yes .Black Flag included.
They do a lot of scummy stuff and they have a homogenous style of Ubergame that they make over and over and over. I think that's more the issues people have w them.

The future sure sucks.

Timesplitters Future Perfect. It does a lot of clever things. The shooting isn't exactly great, but it's full of fun ideas.

I LOVE stealth infiltration, and this is one of the best to ever do it. Can't wait. Nice to finally be excited for a big game again.
I should download Twin Snakes...

I miss when Sony had competition. It's such a a joke.

Love the backgrounds.

@Gamer83 Yuuuuup. And they're grooming people to view digital games the same as physical as well. There's a little animation that plays when you buy a game now, that shows a cart going into the Switch. Also, digital games have the same icon above them as the physical cart in your Switch. So it's more convenient to physically check the cart now than to do a quick look at your library. They are grossing me out.

@Gamer83 But third parties are doing so well on Switch 2...

Pretty terrible, but that's who NIS is now. Big ol nope from me. I love Ys, but they've gotten to be like Sonic games with there hype cycle. You always know that no matter how much they promise, it will be undercooked while they move on to the next game.

I will give it at least a year to see what kind of BS they are going to pull.

Dropped off at the ball punching and cacophony of quips. Woof... seems insufferable..

This is exactly dead ass on target exactly the wrong game to do that with... exactly. Only us nerds are paying attention to it, and most of us aren't too into the idea of having our arms twisted. Like it's not the Star Wars or Madden crowd, where you can just write-off the people turned off by sleazy ish like this just by virtue of sheer numbers. Im pretty sure a few loyal cosplayers won't care. But I think most people anticipating this game know about the troubled development, by a relatively obscure team, and are already skeptical. Cool. Now ask them for $90.
I don't think this one's going to make much of a mark anyway, but if so I'll just get it when it's $20.

Odin Sphere real gud.

It's wonderful that these established old school genres are seeing a comeback. I often say that I play almost exclusively sixth gen, but I do get a good amount of 2D retro-inspired stuff too. In the sixth gen, most of that was relegated to GBA. We didn't get boom shoots, Metroidvanias, 2D platformers, rarely got a beat em up that wasn't trash or someone saying DW was the evolution of the genre or some such nonsense, and definitely did not get indies on consoles. And that is why GBA rules.

All of the announcements related to this thing have been a huge disappointment.

Said as much elsewhere, but yeah, the DC LEGO Villains game was a better Suicide Squad so makes sense this would be a decent alternative to an Arkham game.

Wow. What an exciting opportunity to monetize!

I just finished it last night. It was fun. He-Man Doom.

Heretic on Retroid w mods, Metal Arms, and I guess I should finish Doom...damnit.

I didn't need another reason not to play this, but thanks.

@Kidfunkadelic83 The ai is definitely no fun in most MK games. I was a nut back in the day, and would play through w every character just for the story...such as it is, lol. MK for me and my friends was a series about secrets. The Krypt was a great way to keep it that way...until they turned it into random loot. But anyway, NRS lost the plot ages ago. I'm looking forward to the supplemental materials, and it would be swell if they had a toggle to fix the ai.

@Oregondan Pixel effects? The particles?

Looks cool. Looks very, very concerned with looking cool.

@OthmaneAD Bamco is pretty greedy bro.

I am pretty easy to please w the classic fps releases. This is wonderful.

A big game I might actually buy. Weird. Glad we will be getting a somewhat fixed version.

@AhmadSumadi "Were it not for certain elements that get people upset"
It was the writing and characters for me. And the puzzles. And quests. Real looker though!

It's just one of those things where if it's popular there's a good chance it will get extortionate and if it's unpopular then it's dead. Sounds stressful.

@Odium I'm playing it on my Retroid, the GCN release. I've bought the game enough times to not feel bad emulating it. It holds up really well. A favorite game of mine as well.

Hexen, Heretic, and Metal Arms.
I also started Skies of Arcadia: Legends. I only ever finished the DC release, and I'm impressed by the amount of added content. It's a real gem.

Im just going to go on blind as possible. I don't think any of us think this is going to be bad.

@DarkTron Sometimes the "video" part of "videogames" does a lot of lifting. This isn't for me. I'm not really into games as "cinematic experiences," in f you know what I mean.

Man oh man. It's Nightdive so I'm in, but these games are special. Two new episodes from Nightdive and id?!?
I'm already playing Brutal Heretic RPG w a high quality OST mod and some fog, but this is just wonderful. Man...now we are never going to stop asking for a new entry, id.
I reeeeeally hope they do Descent. I'm sure they'll get there.
But seriously I'm very thankful for Nightdive.

They added a frickin parry for the cleric. It deflects projectiles, and the hit after parry is super powerful. It's AWESOME!

@Fallingshadow *Satan's work.

@Balaam_ Thanks I missed that news!

@MrPeanutbutterz Hey I agree for the most part, but say to the average person that your avatar on the PlayStation website is from your favorite cartoon and they'd probably think it was pretty juvenile, lol.

@Vyse_the_Legend Ok one more thing and I'll shut up, but play Vernal Edge. It's SoA except also a Treasure Metroidvania. Somehow. It's nuts that it doesn't have more hype.

@Ken_Kaniff I'll stick w my PS5 pretty much because PS4 games run on it...

Yay! Let's celebrate with some layoffs!
...what? Is this videogames or not, people?

Its nuts to me that there's games like Astrobot and Demon's Souls on the PS5, and Sony would rather throw money at an extraction shooter based on a dead Mac fps...
They're so lost that when one of their services ARE doing well (Helldivers) they try to get in front of the game's success! They have no idea what currently works in the online space, and even less an idea of what the future holds. They just throw money out and pull the lever. It's maddening.

@Lanmanna I mean they beg for money on every screen, will advertise the next game in the MK series on the title screen of the previous game even when the new one is already intalled, they made the Krypt into lootboxes betraying their lack of understanding that MJ is largely a game about trading secrets, made practice mode progression online only, and changed the online real money store of MK X to screw over players AFTER reviews hit. Stinks to high heaven.

@belmont I just think Soya in particular looks tacky AF in 9, in a specifically gross WWE kind of way. Her base outfit looks like a porn parody of 21 Jump Street or something.

@Vyse_the_Legend You inspired me to start it up again, so thanks for that. Just an incredibly cozy game for me. One of the rare super-optimistic RPGs of that era, like Grandia. I have only ever played through the DC version, at release, so I started Legends.
