Jeff will be utterly rizzless and remind us that for some reason, he was anointed the voice of gaming despite having absolutely zero charisma

Waffle House can now be added

@nessisonett Obviously its expensive, but I got a Dualsense Edge and just got some stick drift after 2 years of serious use,

as you can replace the modules unlike the OG DS, a repair is really cheap and you're back to gaming again.

Its a spend more to save later thing of course, but I was quite happy with the results

I think it was Silksong that finally did it for my left stick. I think all that jerking the stick about messed it up

RWS constantly have these weird issues with other developers, but also, their own games.

I just don't trust them outright, not even tied to this issue, they just keep having these weird releases that they blame on others. They need to just make a good game at this point, or fold.

@themightyant My point would be if they're always bad, dont do them.

@47Levi Yeah it does feel this way. Using it badly is absolutely valueless

@themightyant So what are you arguing here, because this is a bad use of it?

You've said you agreed with me twice now

@themightyant You will eventually lose something of worth and you'll wonder why you defended it.

@themightyant
I'm not a fan of your argument, even if in this case you're right? Thats...a strange thing to say.

I'm not even anti-AI, and its become such a difficult subject to discuss because people act like this is some sort of weird culture war.

Its super useful for coding etc, and it will revolutionize some stuff for sure. It's actually really useful in the video game space.

That being said, the art just looks bad and I dont want it jammed in my face on every billboard and blasted into my face at every opportunity because someone said "hey, this is fast, doesnt matter that it looks like utter garbage because it was fast"

Sometimes nothing is the better option and I think AI has broken this in peoples minds.

To the defenders here, I'd say this.

This kind of stuff is to try and normalize the usage. Downplaying it enables this and it'll creep into every aspect.

The fact is that it does look bad and it does look like AI. It used to be that if you were going to do something but it was going to look bad, you'd deem it not worth it and cancel it. But now, you just use AI, it looks bad and you just shrug.

Just because the time constraints have been reduced, doesnt make it good. It looks bad and therefore, you should have either got some actual art or maybe just cancelled the whole campaign because it doesnt work

I have never met a single person who knows this show exists, let alone watches it.

Its cool that it found a fanbase

Basim, I need your help!

A pesky journalist has been sniffing around the palace.

Your goal is to follow them into the Turkish Embassy. You'll find a handsaw and gloves hidden under the flowerbed in front of the embassy

I'm going to be allowing my premium to elapse because of this.

A real shot in the foot as usual and they won't learn until more people start doing this

@Bionic-Spencer this is crazy, its like they're tanking their own brand after the sale

Saying "we're AI first" is just a way of trying to pump your stock or get investment capital in.

Most companies don't really use it effectively even if they say they do, you can be an "AI first company" and just be using AI to summarise your emails whilst you work there

These are good fixes. I have the Platinum now but replaying the whole game multiple times was a chore, the option to skip sections I think is a good compromise.

The story was great. I hope the next game has better combat and maybe includes these changes from the get go. I really didnt feel like redoing the entire house or school sections of the game 3 times added anything to my playthroughs I was just beelining through trying to get to the next bit of story

@Can-You-Believe-Sith calm down with the emojis grandpa

@KoopaTheGamer it literally looks like an asset swap.

I'm sure its not because they are well versed at this point at litigation, copyright laws and how to get around them, but I think this kind of development shouldn't be encouraged.

Jeez its like they took hollow knight and just asset swapped a generic anime witch into it.

I know its legal to do stuff like this but why aren't the Palworld team interested in originality at all? It's just disappointing.

I hated it.

I don't like the lack of dialogue choice and I think the radiant quests are one of the worst things ever put into a Bethesda game.

I also dont like the base building, which would be fine if it wasnt painfully obvious that the rest of the development suffered to include it

@1970sGamer I completely agree with them.

I think if you're playing something low stakes its fine (I like Balatro or Slay the Spire on mine) but I'd never play anything with a high skill ceiling as you basically are going to take hits due to input lag, especially in games where you need to rely on parrying.

Very exciting.

Great stories in their games but I think from what I've seen, the gameplay is going to really hit here.

The evolution of their gameplay across Uncharted 1 through to 4, and TLOU>TLOU2 is honestly night and day. they've tightened up so well. Hopefully this is a continuation

@ShogunRok I've got a Q.

Do you think this is fixable?

I can see a patch fixing some of those combat issues you mention, and perhaps the performance but it sounds like the player choice is poor and probably baked in and impossible to scrape out/improve.

@Balaam_ I agree. Same with the one they jammed into Resident Evil 7 after complaints as well.

Its a diminished experience. The game needs to be designed for one and then thats what you play.

I guess its good that people like to play these games in 3rd person dont feel this but its honestly to me a bad experience.

The reboot is bad and didnt need to exist

Also this guy: but if you want another try I could do it and it wouldnt be bad and would need to exist.

The series is over.

This looks really derivative. I'm all for remix and inspirations but they just glue vampire survivors and hades together.

Maybe on launch it'll be surprisingly good but I dunno about this one

I have no issues with how anybody plays a single player game whether its with God mode activated, with a guitar hero controller or with their pants around their ankles

It feels like a wave of amnesia has hit gaming press.

It felt like maybe, a decade ago?, people just stopped reporting on what he said because he just guesses and talks nonsense and doesnt know what he's talking about.

Then suddenly, the last year, I'm hearing his lukewarm takes again. What gives? Either journalists have collevtively gone insane or a new wave of journalists who don't remember this grifter from the last 10 years ago are posting about him without the background knowledge

You were really grasping with that subheadline, not your finest. Great review though!

Sony need to start acting on this.

Fines to devs, reduction of promotion, something.

Its ridiculous that games are performing worse on this machine, it makes everyone look bad. Sony for selling the console, the devs for launching the game in a bad state.

@DETfaninATL very unique story, well created world, good characters and acting from the VO and mocap cast.

if you dont like turn based you wont like it. you do have to play the game and the combat is entirely turn based

well deserved. I hope that the extra money will allow them to polish some of the rougher edges off the next game, for example the weird platforming challenges that were in the game that felt a bit broken.

@nessisonett I was going to make a comment about how the game was set a decade before it came out so has this sort of weird nostalgic touch to its dialogue etc so it wasnt really cringe but I just did a quick google, apparently its set more or less the year of development.

thats insane, I played it on launch and always just assumed it was supposed to be set in like 1995 or something and its dialogue etc was kind of cringey because it was supposed to be indicative of how people were talking a decade before.

Apparently it was just cringe

@SuperSilverback scratch one sale

@wilky2988 its not free, thousands of people die and are imprisoned by the Saudi Royal family every day.

Enjoy your freebie but keep in mind its to distract you from this fact. You can retain this info and still play the free content, win win

I'm out on these kind of games to be honest, its nice to see the gamble has paid off though.

A lot of these games have a real generic feel to them.

I'm hoping thats not the case

I really appreciate that titles like this are reviewed here. I love a bite sized game but the PSN store ai slop churn of recent years makes it really difficult to pinpoint so any help is much appreciated.

I think I'll pick this one up it sounds cool

We got to show Saber that we want horror games and DONT want more asymetrical mutliplayer.

just assume any image thats clearly been generated by chatgpt is a scam

I really like the idea of making games that are almost tech demos around more simplistic topics like Pool.

Big fan of Rockstar Table Tennis and thought it was an incredible demonstration of the then new RAGE engine

Finally playing Cyberpunk again after originally playing Day 1 PS4, on PS5 with my imported save.

Alright so far, and picked up the DLC to try also, however, a lot of the trophies seem broken. The game randomly autopopped 4 when I booted it, and now most of the base game trophies wont unlock. The DLC ones work though. Very weird

Bad source in my opinion.

There's no reason why a wrestling website would be able to find this out, people are pointing towards the fact that AEW is broadcast on WBD channels and HBO Max but it just seems so unlikely even if a wrestling site has some insiders at AEW, that anyone there would be aware of this kind of deal.

The Variety piece is interesting and builds on some previous announcements they had made around their gaming division months ago

@themightyant I think I have a backlog of like 10 games at the moment, partly due to subscription, some sale and 2 new titles.

@Jammer hey...youre not the word up son guy...whats going on here.

@themightyant I think you're an outlier.

I used to be the same but I've really slowed down

@DennisReynolds none of the characters have any life in them except Lily and the horny shopkeeper.

unfortunately i found Lily pretty annoying. better than boring but not great.

i hope the 2nd game has a better story because I loved the combat

damn katamari i gotta pick that up

@themightyant I think in the past, if a game was a 7-9 you might buy it.

I think now, you have infinite free to play and live service games you can play forever, an almost infinite library of games on plus, so there isnt really ever a moment where you're going to give something a chance.

@wildcat_kickz yeah I wonder if everyone is walking into a trap chasing this trend.

Personally I've always found handheld gaming to be a pain. The consoles are always too big and expensive to use on public transit, so that only really leaves long car journeys to use it so if you're the driver, well, I guess theres none?
