Yeah, it doesn't LOOK at all like a Castlevania game. Still willing to give it chance, since it's been like 20 years since the last metroidvania from the original timeline. I still need to see more, though. I'm buying it, but I want them to make it a Day 1 purchase for me.
Different solutions sound really cool. Honestly, I really like how that one in particular sounds. We'll have to see how varied they are.
@RawnDawn
Ah, I see. I didn't want to watch too much to make the wait easier. I see what you mean. I don't think that's a problem for me personally, but it can be overwhelming, yes. Not sure if it's a game I would even try to 100% though.
A lot of people is failing to see that it's not a matter of the minigames themselves. It's about not censoring and respecting the original vision. It's about knowing modern Sony and its double standard.
Replayed the whole series on PS3 last year to clear the bad taste in my mouth after playing the first PS4 one and all of them hold up extremely well. GoW 2 is still easily a 10/10.

My favorite soundtrack of 2025. Better than E33 imo.

Which Like a Dragon game are you referring to? I didn't even know.
Re: Pragmata's Uncanny New York Stage Was Meticulously Crafted By Humans to Look AI-Generated
That's a really good excuse.
Re: Crimson Desert (PS5) - A Generational Open World Buried in Early Access Cruft
Should give it time.for some.patches and updates like with Marathon before giving it a score. ✌🏻
Re: New Free FIFA Game Pits Greek God Zeus Against Argentinian Icon Diego Maradona, Will Come to PS5
Well, both had a lot of illegitimate children.
Oh, you mean in football! Yeah, that works too.
Re: PS5 Players Seemingly Skip Marathon as Sales Estimates Look Very Weak
That's better than I expected to be honest. Good, scummy practices should have consequences.
Re: Crimson Desert Storms the Physical UK Charts, and Almost All Copies Sold Were for PS5
@KonstantTrouble
There's definitely something going on for sure.
Re: 'Man, So That's Where They Went with It, Huh?': Street Fighter 6's Incestuous New Storyline Stuns Original Dev

It's Helena. And I'm going to laugh at everyone about it.

Good for those 5 guys!

A 7 so far. I think I'm close to the ending.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 624
Resident Evil Requiem. It's fine enough so far.
Re: 'What the F*ck Are We Doing Here?': PS5 Fans Slam Square Enix for Sloppy Multiformat Strategy
Port-begging again?
More than one platform = multi-platform.

@RawnDawn
Did they show really hard puzzles or something? I'm not in the loop.
Re: 'Imagine Being Such a Loser': We've Hit Rock Bottom with Website Dedicated to 'Failing' Games
Gonna check it out, thanks for the info. 😂
Re: Fastidiously Multiformat Square Enix Skips PS5 with Yet Another Game
It was a 3DS game, not a DS game.
Damn, people port-begging are unbearable. 😂
Re: Highguard Joins the Great Concord in the Sky, Now Officially Delisted on PS5
Marathon will join them in 2-3 months.
Re: 'No One Is Buying This on PS5': PC Port Begging Already Unbearable as Sony Switches Strategy
Unbearable to who? This counts as news? 😅
Re: SEGA's PS5 Games Get Good Reviews, So Why Aren't You Buying Them?
I buy anything Yakuza and most of the Atlus stuff. Always really good games.
Re: 'This Is Big Unemployed Behaviour': Overwatch Dev Roasts SteamDB Fanatics
Only time will tell. Although it probably takes as much time to look at the numbers than to write that tweet. Maybe even less.
Re: Round Up: GreedFall 2 PS5 Reviews Suggest a Rough Start for the RPG Sequel
Damn, they should have asked for more time from the critics.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Story DLC Confirmed, Bonus Mode in May
You guys should have reviewed it in May then. Maybe the extra mode could have given it a better score. 😂
Re: 'Exclusives Are Absolutely Not Happening': Xbox Helix Will Share Library with PS6
Sounds like rumours, not news.
Re: 'This Should Be Illegal': PS5's Dynamic Pricing Roundly Criticised by Disgusted Sony Fans
And you still have people defending it.
Re: 'I'm Pro Sex Minigames': Former God of War Dev Backs PS5 Trilogy Remake to Keep Controversial Minigames
A lot of people is failing to see that it's not a matter of the minigames themselves. It's about not censoring and respecting the original vision.
It's about knowing modern Sony and its double standard.
Re: 'We're Discussing Ways to Improve': Marathon Dev Tweaking Monetisation and Difficulty as FPS Fails to Blow Up
@trev666
I guess every developer just needed to ask nicely. 😂
Crazy stuff that would be on every news site if it was another company.

Re: 'We're Discussing Ways to Improve': Marathon Dev Tweaking Monetisation and Difficulty as FPS Fails to Blow Up
@LowDefAl
Yes, yes. "Requested". 😉
Re: Opinion: God of War: Sons of Sparta Is the Smaller PS5 Game Fans Want, and I Hope We See More
Silksong was $20.
Re: 'We're Discussing Ways to Improve': Marathon Dev Tweaking Monetisation and Difficulty as FPS Fails to Blow Up
Don't let "critics" put a score on the game.
Put a lot of MTX on a paid product.
Profit? I don't think so. I think it's going to be another Highguard (because nothing is as much of a failure as Concord was).
Re: PS5 Players Can Finally Explore This Award-Winning Xbox Gem
My favorite soundtrack from 2025.
Re: Marathon PS5 User Reviews Remarkably Positive After String of Live Service Disasters
Two-three months max.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Marathon PS5 Review?
If they only "asked", say no.
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
With how expensives PCs are here, this might be a good choice. Will have to wait and see.
Re: Rumour: Sony Backtracking on PC Strategy, Shifting Towards PS5 Exclusivity Again
I'll believe it when I see it. PC brings a lot of money.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties?
Easy 9 as its own thing. As a remake, maybe 7-8.
Re: Sony Will Offset Soaring RAM Prices by Further Monetising PS5 Players
When people say they want more games, they normally refer to first-party single player AAA games.
Not games you can play on PC, Xbox or even Nintendo.
So yeah, there's a lot to play, but you can mostly play it anywhere.
Re: Poll: Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
Replayed the whole series on PS3 last year to clear the bad taste in my mouth after playing the first PS4 one and all of them hold up extremely well.
GoW 2 is still easily a 10/10.
Re: Failing FPS Highguard's Concord Arc Seems Almost Complete as Website Goes Down
Already lived longer than Concord, so it can die in peace.
Re: 'One of the Worst Decisions Ever Made': God of War Creator Tears 'Total Crap' 2D Title Apart
It looks really bad. Zero visual appeal.
Re: God of War Trilogy Remake Announced for PS5
Here's hoping they don't make them all "modern" by removing the sex and stuff.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
Okay just for that Castlevania reveal.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?
Awful. There was almost nothing interesting.
