Mr. Literature Club, nooo!! What an embarrassment. Way to sandbag one of the best things going for you, Sony. See y'all in the PC space after this generation.
Getting a new pure strength build character prepped slowly for the expansion. So pumped. Elden Ring really spoiled us, the fact we're getting more of it is very exciting. What's more exciting though is for FromSoft to make a true next-gen game Souls game.
This feels gross. It feels like Hasbro's trying to make a quick buck off of BG. Larian asked to make Baldur's Gate 3 while they were in their Divine Divinity days. It's the love that counts.
They should let Obsidian take care of the Fallout series. They were given a year and a half for New Vegas and I'd say it's still the fan favourite. They deserved those bonuses they never got.
I still can't fathom why they thought their updated "dialogue trees" were the way to go over F3 and NV. I downloaded a mod on PS5 for a mute protagonist hoping that it would give me full sentences for the dialogue options and was woefully surprised to still see: Yes. No. Sarcasm. Insult. as dialogue options. WTF man 😂 Why did Bethesda do that!? It's so bad.
@Crimson_Ridley I don't disagree. The MGS comparison was more for the court of public opinion. Bethesda didn't create the world of Fallout, so it rustles my jimmies a bit is all.
@Crimson_Ridley Incorrect. Bethesda made Fallout 3 & 4. Obsidian made NV, and 76 was made by a B-tier studio that never launched a game before. So, technically BGS and Black Isle have put out the same amount of games.
Just as there will be new Metal Gear games, but Metal Gear is Kojima.
I loved the first game and thought it was a fun platinum. Hearing that it has monster hunter elements reminds me of Salt & Sacrifice where the series left behind it's Souls-like approach for a Monster Hunter flavour. I'll wait and see how this turns out. I wasn't a fan of Salt & Sacrifice
I don't much like hearing Fallout referred to as Bethesda's game series. I get they own the rights, but that's like saying Disney's Iron-Man. It's off. Excited to start the show tomorrow night.
Rocket Racing felt way to janky to me when it first came out. Hard pass. I'm an old fogey who took that opportunity to try Fortnite and Lego Fortnite and decided they were both trash.
@Flaming_Kaiser Such as? I'm waiting. I mean, if he's so bad surely you'd have enlightened us by now. Clearly he isn't inventing these things, I don't think anyone's saying that who has the capacity to think.
I just got Helldivers this past weekend. Strange time to join up when we "eradicated" the automatons and 90% of the map is liberated. Hoping something crazy happens this week.
@Flaming_Kaiser Are you insinuating I'm a Elon Musk fanboy for pointing out that people who'd rather criticize Musk than celebrate a huge stepping stone in modern medicine are a bunch of grumps? Please enlighten me why I must join you in crapping on Musk rather than feel good for the paraplegic man in this story? What is he doing that's evil exactly?
I wish they would add an update to make cutscenes shippable lol. Played a little over an hour of this tonight and can't be bothered to play anymore. Not for me, happy for those enjoying.
Oh, man. I hate this game so far. Unskippable cutscenes, GEN Z dialogue, trap music in a fantasy game, obnoxious dialogue. I've got maybe another half hour of this game before I delete it unless it gets better.
I remember when Nintendo games used to be easy to play and difficult to master. Now, in my opinion, their exclusives are all babby's first video game in terms of difficulty.
Brilliant! What a world we live in. This truly is (and should be) an incredible feel good story. People endlessly bashing Elon Musk over this should serve as a barometer over someone's intellectual capabilities. This. Is. Awesome.
The PS5 PRO is ensuring that I don't buy a PS6 and instead I'll wait for the PS6 pro. PS5 games will probably be released on it until midway through the generation again, and if not then PS subscriptions mean I won't doll out money for the exclusives right away.
To anyone who doesn't understand the articles title, Hasbro and WotC have been basically going to war with their fan base with how they're running D&D into the ground. With Hasbro making $90M from Baldur's Gate 3 last year, you can be sure that this company was bad practices will only be emboldened in their (not Larians) new direction. Believe me, as a D&D dork, it is a threat coming from Hasbro.
Based on the first half of this generation when it comes to the PS6 I will just wait for the pro. PS5 games will most likely be coming out well into it's life cycle anyways.
@Frmknst literally 99.9% of all indie games are the same? In what way?
Looking forward to this. I like the idea of BigMode and it's not much different than Yacht Club Games publishing Cyber Shadow. Expect Big Mode is actually marketing Animal Well 😂
I can't throw away money on buying a second, better PS5. These pro consoles make me feel like I've purchased a dud by buying early. With as many games still releasing on PS4 you can be sure the next generation I'll just wait for the PS6 pro.
Excellent month for me! Been meaning to check out Midnight Suns and Ace Attorney. Plus some nostalgia for Cool Boarders (but, c'mon why not Cool Boarders 3?)
When I play as sexy Geralt, no one cares. When I play as sexy Eve/woman, then it is seen as perverted. Nothing wrong with sexy versions of men and women in media. People who uncomfortable by sex and the human body give me the willies. Not everything is for everybody, but especially nowadays to suggest that this isn't ok.. you do know there are women who look like this in real life, right? What are they not allowed to be proud of their bodies too?
Akira Toriyama was a MACHINE. So incredibly creative and an insanely fast artist. The man has earned his rest and we live on in our memories. He inspired me to improve my skills at drawing as a kid and to this day I can still draw in his style on the fly. Hours and hours mimicking his art. What a legend. Love him forever.

Yay, Tunic!!! I can't wait to play this one.
Re: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Dev Wants to Shorten Time Between Games
They should remaster New Vegas and Fallout 3.

Maybe they'll rerelease Chrono Trigger to rake in the big bucks.
Re: Fallout 4 (PS5) - Timeless Gameplay Loop Stuck in an Outdated RPG
@Victor_Meldrew Enjoy yourself, dude. I tried, but didn't see the point as you cannot kill any story related characters unlike NV.

Re: Random: Neuralink Brain Implant Patient Pulls All-Nighter Playing Civilisation 6
@Flaming_Kaiser So, you're ideologically driven to see him as a villain then?
Re: Indie Smash Hit Vampire Survivors Is Finally Coming to PS5, PS4 This Summer
Calling it right now that it'll be a part of PS Extra. Finally! The game is dope as hell. Hope it has a fun platinum.
Re: PSN Data Says Foamstars' Future Is Bleak, Just Two Months After Release
What?!!! I was hoping we would one day get Foam-con. Oh, the horror.. the horror!!!!
The single player modes were boring and ridiculously simple, and the multiplayer was a chaotic mess.

I mean, we have the psp version and the remake (which has the original in it). Why not medievil 2?
Re: 'Smaller' PS5 Exclusives Still Reportedly Coming Later This Year
I'm most interested to hear from Bluepoint and Housemarque. Feels like a slim chance.

Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative
@Pranwell I think that's because it makes people feel like their expensive purchase in the PS5 is devalued by a pro version.

Re: Dragon Ball Manga Icon Akira Toriyama Passes Aged 68
Akira Toriyama was a MACHINE. So incredibly creative and an insanely fast artist. The man has earned his rest and we live on in our memories.
