This game is clearly meant for very young children. The game loves wrestling controls away from the player to over explain every little thing. It is very much a "tell, not show" type game. For instance you pick up an item and have to sit there scrolling through 10+ word bubbles about how you picked up the item. Not digging this so far. Giving it another hour before I drop it.
@twitchtvpat You sound confused. You're debating my opinion that these should never have been funded to begin with and Sony should've kept prioritizing their strengths. In my opinion
@twitchtvpat I'm saying they've funded more failures this gen then putting those funds towards what they excel at. This generation has had half a dozen PS5 first party games. And I mean PS5 only games.
"Trust us. I know we greenlighted 12+ live service games, and although we've cancelled most of them - THIS one will be good." Sony funded these instead of funding more single player games.
Why do they keep sandbagging their own game? From everything I've heard Blooper say about their remake since it's announcement it doesn't make them sound confident in their product.
Let's see the activists continue to turn a blind eye to women's and lgbt rights in a place where its actually a life or death situation. This is sad. Do your thing, but I'd advocate to not support Saudi Arabia.
To people needing difficulty modifications and assists, just know that all of these are already in the game. Mimic tear. Magic users. Summoning. These make boss battles more manageable. 1v1 a boss, or make yourself summonable, and you'll be getting a little better each time.
Used to kick up my legs on the olde crt and play this series for hours. It's not complicated or difficult, but for fans of the series it's equivalent to banging action figures together in the bath. Nonsensical fun
I hope the new monopoly allows the player to have independent control until it is their turn. Some more perspective options would be nice, and the ability to disable animations. All in all I hope it works better than plus.
Imagine being a dev watching everyone hate on "marvel-style" dialogue these last few years knowing what you're working on. I don't know, man. I don't think the interest is there for this one, but I could be wrong.
That had to be the most mediocre state of play we've seen yet. What are Bluepoint, Housemarque, Bend, and Naughty Dog working on? I mean, not even a tease for Ghost of Tsushima???
Everyone needs to lower their expectations some. I got hyped for the last three showcases and walked away from each mostly unimpressed. Sony doesn't like to show their hand these days.
Don't feed the trolls. The Helldivers 2 player base stretches far and wide. What large group of people does not divulge into people being poopy in 2024?
The publisher that doesn't learn, holy smokes lol. We'll see, but this feels like the final nail in the coffin. Sorry to see you go, Xbox. I'll still take gears and halo on playstation though, thanks!
I'm on PS5, but aside from Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Elden ring (60fps) I could still be on PS4. I'd understand why people haven't upgraded yet due to economic woes.
Whoever is selecting the premium titles should be fired. Of all the classics on PS1 they mostly choose games from the nose bleed section. PS1 being a legendary jrpg machine you'd think every month thered be one of those. No one, or at least the vast majority of players, do not care about the games they're putting on premium which will then fuel the Sony corporates to say over and over no one cares about classics. So dumb
On its nose of course this is a fine idea. My only issue with it is that the Switch and I'm assuming it's successor will be so underpowered compared to the competition for PS and PC, that inevitably there games will be kneecapped by Nintendo's weaker system.
Henry leaving isn't as big a problem as the writers room for this show. I've read the books, and this show ain't it. Even as a fantasy show excluding the source material it is very bad.

How embarrassing. We'll see what happens with Trace Fall and see then if there's anybody leftover to care.
Re: Internal Sony Fairgame$ PS5, PC Chatter Is Reportedly Quite Positive
@twitchtvpat and I'm saying they wasted time on these failing gamble projects rather than lean into their strengths.

It's one of those games I have to fight the urge to play to completion. It's so fun and incredibly addictive
Re: Astro Bot 2 Hinted at in PS5 Platinum Trophy Description
The game was very cheap to make compared to other PS exclusives. A little success will go a long way, and it's looking like it'll be a big success.

Re: The First Olympic Esports Games to Be Held in Saudi Arabia in 2025
@riceNpea Yeah, but that's not the atate doing that against its own people as it is in Saudi Arabia.
Re: The First Olympic Esports Games to Be Held in Saudi Arabia in 2025
@riceNpea Valid points, but at least the west doesn't strictly practice Sharia law or throw gays off buildings or beheads people in the street.
