@Cry_Zero yup. I get that its annoying to lose out on an exclusive every now and then, but who can keep up anyway? I play games for hours every day, unless I am reading, and its not possible to keep up.
@themaladroit any suggestions on not sucking at Risk of Rain 2? I play old-school fps and a lot of twitch-reflex games, but I can't seem to git gud with RoR2. I want to because it feels great. Feel like I am missing something.
Blood: Refreshed Supply, Prime 4, and System Shock 2 remaster. I am very thankful for Nightdive. My youngest is getting really into Turok 2 and Blood because of them, and it is great. I can't wait to see him get into Quake and Doom. Fun stuff.
Happy holidays to those who do that. Hope you play some gems.
I would prefer something sci-fi or post-apocalyptic, but I am very happy for Larian. They get to take time and be creative. Probably pretty much with a blank check. It's nice when nice things happen.
It looks like the shooting feels good but yeah hero shooter. Its online only, I am sure, and hero shooter "roles" just seem to be like taking a fun arsenal of weapons and abilities and spreading it thin. I like my characters to have more than one weapon and ability, I dunno.
I didnt see Evanescence, but I thought the orchestral stuff was incredible. I honestly thought it was a lot of fun. I am guessing Sandfall has a blank check after doing so well. That's exciting.
I figured they were going for something a little more subversive than the third rebrand of Divinity. Especially after saying they wanted to do something new and less restrictive than D&D. I am sure it will be incredible, I am just burned out on elves and dwarfs and wizards, etc.
That would be swell, but I'd be much more into something sci-fi or post-apocalyptic. Its gotten difficult for me to get down with high fantasy, for whatever reason. Also, with post-apocalyptic, I dont have to deal with people, like, existing at me. Which is nice.
As the biggest fan of handhelds (seriously...it is a problem...), this would be how they get me excited for a new console. I just hope their hubris hasn't rendered them incapable of learning from the PS5. I love my PS5, but they really need to focus more on single-player exclusives and weird stuff from Japan. They are not going to rebrand to this multi-player meta verse of IPs, at least not in my head.
I get depressed thinking of sixth and seventh gen consoles. They really competed with each other back then. I would like more of that, please.
I might reinstall to see if it clicks in third-person. I really, really disliked the stealth in the base game. It does the thing where the entire military knows your location as soon as you are spotted.
Brain Damage on Switch has a bug where the character won't stop moving. I just checked last week and its still happening. I really wanted to play that dumb thing too.
Some Ghost of Tsushima and maybe Link's Awakening DX. Its one of my favorite games, and I dislike the remake, so it should be a comfy time. Maybe some Streets of Rage Remake and Tomb Raider?

Re: The Witcher 3 Really Could Be Getting a New Expansion on PS5 in 2026
@CaptainWow Me and Skyrim have the same relationship.
Re: The Witcher 3 Really Could Be Getting a New Expansion on PS5 in 2026
I think it would be strange for them to be working in UE5 and Red Engine at the same time. They'd go cross-eyed over there going back and forth.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 614
Blood: Refreshed Supply, and Prime 4.

@Cry_Zero yup. I get that its annoying to lose out on an exclusive every now and then, but who can keep up anyway? I play games for hours every day, unless I am reading, and its not possible to keep up.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes Exclusives Make Consoles 'Sing'
I play a lot of sixth and seventh gen and prior, and man do I miss the competition of that era. It's depressing.
Re: Reminder: Astro Bot Has the Best Christmas Level on PS5 and It Isn't Close
Playing through this with my youngest was an absolute treat, and something I know he will always remember.
Re: Vince Zampella, Call of Duty Co-Creator and Respawn Boss, Tragically Dies Aged 55
Play Titanfall 2, if you haven't. Doom 2016, DUSK, Powerslave levels of single-player fps greatness.

"Users." Exactly why I won't be using that game.

Re: The Game Awards Keeps On Getting More and More Popular
@ShadowRJ I watch them every year. I am still an enthusiast.
Re: The Game Awards Keeps On Getting More and More Popular
@Jireland92 then I guess we can put your thought experiment to rest.
Re: The Game Awards Keeps On Getting More and More Popular
@Jireland92 there are other award ceremonies out there.

@cburg the projection is transparent, lol.

I just don't have any faith in BGS anymore.

Re: This Is the New Voice of Lara Croft in the PS5 Era of Tomb Raider Games
@lazarus11 I didn't realize you were a womanologist. I was more a womanizer, personally.
Re: This Is the New Voice of Lara Croft in the PS5 Era of Tomb Raider Games
I love the series, so Im excited. Playing that first game with those beautiful graphics is going to be a treat.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for December 2025?
I might check out Mirage. I dig that it has supernatural abilities. AC would be so much cooler if it dropped historical settings, imo. Irl is dumb.
Re: All The Game Awards 2025 Winners
@Fritz167 Virtual Reality?
RADICAL!
Re: All The Game Awards 2025 Winners
I didnt see that Doom won an award. Rad.
Re: All The Game Awards 2025 Winners
@tangyzesty I bet the Venn diagram of KCD fans and Tool fans is just a circle.
Re: Huge Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Update Out Now on PS5, with New Areas, Fights, Photo Mode
Looking forward to grabbing this when the goty edition hits, hopefully.
Re: Free-to-Play FPS Highguard Closes Out The Game Awards, Coming to PS5 on 26th January
It looks like the shooting feels good but yeah hero shooter. Its online only, I am sure, and hero shooter "roles" just seem to be like taking a fun arsenal of weapons and abilities and spreading it thin. I like my characters to have more than one weapon and ability, I dunno.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?
@lazarus11 have you seen the year they had Joe McHale and Loiter Squad? It's impossible to get through.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2025?
That TR remake looks gorgeous.

Re: Open World RPG Shooter No Law Announced for PS5
The Ascent is awesome so I'm looking forward to this. I thought this was more an immersive sim, but open world rpg is good too.
Re: 007 First Light Unveils Lenny Kravitz as a Villain in New Trailer
@aj21009 yeah Lenny Kravitz is often flat...
Re: 007 First Light Unveils Lenny Kravitz as a Villain in New Trailer
Lenny Kravitz sounds like Good Value Jimmy Hendrix. Even his name does.
...wait did he change his name so it sounds similar to Jimmy Hendrix?
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Announces New Divinity RPG, Its 'Biggest Game Ever'
@StitchJones seems like a well-informed take

I figured they were going for something a little more subversive than the third rebrand of Divinity. Especially after saying they wanted to do something new and less restrictive than D&D.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Cyberpunk 2077, 5 Years Later?
I usually can't stand procedural rubbish, but infinite Judy dates would be something I could go for.
Re: Rumour: Mystery Game Awards Reveal May Be a New Divinity RPG, as Original Sin 2 PS5 Port Leaks
That would be swell, but I'd be much more into something sci-fi or post-apocalyptic. Its gotten difficult for me to get down with high fantasy, for whatever reason. Also, with post-apocalyptic, I dont have to deal with people, like, existing at me. Which is nice.
Re: Lords of the Fallen 2 Dev 'Praying' for FromSoftware Reveal at The Game Awards, Not Behind Statue Tease
@Zeke68 leave speculation and enthusiasm to sports fans. This is serious. We are talking videogames here, man.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610
@StitchJones I had to play the HM games and see how they feel before I got into them. Some of my favorites.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610
Prime 4 and Blood.
Re: Preview: Avatar PS5 Is Transformed in Third-Person, Expanded in From the Ashes DLC
@Matthewnh lol, that isn't my complaint, but yeah. I hate the hivemind ai in any stealth game.
Re: Preview: Avatar PS5 Is Transformed in Third-Person, Expanded in From the Ashes DLC
I might reinstall to see if it clicks in third-person. I really, really disliked the stealth in the base game. It does the thing where the entire military knows your location as soon as you are spotted.

Re: Splitgate 2 Is Being Renamed as Well as Relaunched, Arrives Later This Month on PS5, PS4
@Attheendwearrive that was so tacky. They are better than they've ever been. Blood just came to consoles with 8 player split-screen. What a world.
Re: The Game Awards Hype Video Is a Nice Reminder It Isn't All About the Trailers
Prime 4 and Blood are out. I guess other games still exist.
Really though, I am looking forward to this show. Its fun commeting with other people.
Re: Cryptic Game Awards Statue Teaser Reportedly Not Related to Diablo 4, Elder Scrolls 6

Definitely getting this as soon as I get home.
Re: The Ascent Dev to Announce Its Next Game at The Game Awards
The Ascent is great. Looking forward to seeing what this is.
Re: Geoff Keighley's Cryptic Post Has Fans Speculating Wildly About The Game Awards Announcement
I dont care how corporate and awkward it all is, I like game announcements. It reminds me of when things weren't so cynical.
