I play games lying on my bed, what now Sony?

"Do you personally prefer linear games or open world games?"

That really depends. If it is a good open world I prefer that but sadly most open world games don't actually take proper use of their open world. Most of the time it just feels like running of a checklist

As someone who loves to explore optional stuff in games it's a shame but I guess if the main story itself has more than enough to explore it's not too bad

If only Nintendo would do that with their NSO games...

@Flaming_Kaiser I'll take that as a compliment

I played both MH World and Rise and while they are good they didn't really catch me. Therefore I obviously don't need a clone either

Haven't played it yet myself but watched a few streams and from what I've seen I'd say the atmosphere is pretty amazing, everything feels so alive and there are so much details put everywhere. Cutscenes are also done pretty well, for example when getting the wand

As a game though it seems very basic, characters look like robots during dialogs, same puzzles copy&pasted everywhere etc.

So far it seems like a 7/10 to me but that might change when I actually play it for myself

It certainly did bother me but Horizon Forbidden West was even worse in that regard

@TripleKing333 One time in HFW I was entering a new room in a cauldron and before I've even properly entered the room Aloy already said "I can use the glider to get to the other side". The game didn't even give me one second to think lol

There are more than enough games currently like FE Engage, Octopath Traveler 2, Nintendo shadow dropping Metroid Prime Remastered didn't help either.
Will probably buy it in a sale some day

I see "State of Play" in the thumbnail and think "Oh cool" and then I read "Rumor"...

@get2sammyb Money from Microsoft
I mean if they deal ends up not happening Microsoft could in theory offer (part of) that money for exclusivity deals. Seem to happen quite regulary in gaming anyway.
Don't know if Sony could fight such a deal as well though

Doesn't mean I'm expecting MS to do that though considering that would go against their "10 year deal" ideology

I'm surprised. I was kinda expecting it to be a flop (especially if you look at the studios past games) but it seems like it actually good. Nice

The best thing about Sonys PC ports is that you finally can play those games on a handheld (Steam Deck) since sadly Sony chose to ignore their own last handheld

4 hours? That's like 1/3 of the tutorial

"Have you bought a 'pro' controller before?"
Well I have bought controllers that have "Pro" in their name: the Wii U Pro Controller and Switch Pro Controller

"How well do you think Forspoken will sell?"
Even if it would somehow manage to sell well Square Enix would still say "It sold below expectations"

Now imagine if it actually released last May lol

I just hope it doesn't feature characters who constantly tell me what to do

I'd love to see Stellar Blade. Definitely the third party game I look forward to the most beside FF16

@Kidfried
And it is a survial-horror game which probably automatically turns of most people

That game released?
I only remember seeing a pretty horrible trailer for that game

I know many don't like them but I'd like to see a remaster of the FF13 trilogy

I was really looking forward to it since GoW 2018 is imo the best PS4 first party game but I have given up on GoWR after about 4h.
Atreus constantly told me "Do this, do that" "You go the wrong way" etc. As someone who loves to look around, explore and especially think on my own it really ruined something that would most likely be an amazing game

Yes, completet it and defeated every unique boss.
Also it was my first From Software game since I heard it's more accessable than the other games thanks to it's open world

Definitely plan to check out the other Soulsborne games and Sekiro some time

Elden Ring was the first truly great open world game since BotW imo

@Uncharted2007 Was it ever confirmed for 2023? As far as I remember the announcement trailer said "Next Winter" which would go from December 2023 - March 2024

Out of all games I played on PS this year (and released this year) I'd rank it 3rd. First would be Elden Ring and second AI: The Somnius Files 2

Well, it's a 10/10 game (imo) but now even better

Good. Always hate it when some people spoil major announcements of e.g. a Nntendo Direct or a PS Showcase for a bit internet fame

"Sorry, you must select at least 5 options."

But I didn't even play 5 PS games this year. And one of those I played isn't on this list (AI: The Somnium Files 2). And another one is HFW, a game I wouldn't even vote for if my life depends on it

@DETfaninATL "another questionable attempt to bilk cash out of an already great game"

Weird statement considering the update is free

It's been one month already?

Have never played the original since I never had a PSP and it wasn't available on PS Vita via the PS Store so yeah, I have pre-ordered it

I agree with XC3 getting robbed of awards, how the hell didn't XC3 at least win best music?

It really is the first strand type sequel

Won't screw over my sleep schedule in order to see The Rock advertising an energy drink but I do hope that there are some cool announcements. I mean at least FF16 will most likely get a release date which already is something

"he pointed to tech issues (...) as a reason for the less-than-stellar scores"

Well no s**t, Sherlock.
Who would have thought that technical issues could impact the review score

I voted for Sonic cause there's no way I'll let a game that didn't even release this year win
Also I ofc enjoyed Sonic Frontiers

@DiggleDog Reminds me of when Atlus/Sega brought Persona 5 Strikers, a direct sequel to Persona 5, to Switch and PC long before they brought P5R to those plattforms

"confirmation comes courtesy of a leak out of Xbox Germany"
Well actually Germany is only the D in (XBox) DACH

As much as I'd love to see that live I ain't staying up til 1:30am (+how long the show goes), especially since I have to work the next day

@Hindenburg And yet I still doubt that most childen would know what The Game Awards is

@Hindenburg I doubt those "children and casuals" would vote for The Game Awards or even know what The Game Awards is

@Voltan I remember seeing a video from a huge Settlers fan a view months ago and he really disliked it

@Saucymonk No offense but not everybody has that much time to play games

Remember when the console war was held by the fanboys of the respective consoles and not the CEOs? Good old times

Welp, I guess that's one way to give attention to your game...
(Since I actually forgot it exists)

Just finished it about an hour ago, while it certainly has some problems (render distance, sometimes a bit clunky, mandatory pinball bullsh*t, bit of lack of QoL) I still had a ton of fun with this game. I'd give it a 8/10 but with a view fixed it could definitely be a 9/10

I hope two of those mods are "fast travel at any time" and "fast pick up loot". Those two make the game even more enjoyable, alongside "unlimited inventory" but I'm not sure if they include that on lol, maybe as an option

TGA actually decided to not ignore Xenoblade Chronicles 3? Am I dreaming?
