All good choices. What’s odd is there’s no mention of Black Myth Wukong, a game that won the players choice award but which I always thought was mid and overrated. And this was the year of Balatro, a game I’ll probably be playing for the next two years
The PS5 needs more joyful games that are easy to pick up and play like this. Most of its big games were darker and required an hour or two per session to make progress
@Aladin_Run well of course people can decide for themselves, but if these kind of remasters become popular it would further erode creativity in the gaming industry. I want this game to flop so other games don’t get prettier but the same versions, and developers work on actual new content. It’s like Disney releasing their movies again in 3D or live action, it’s lazy.
Quite a few examples of great acting in video games- Death Stranding, GOW itself, Far Cry, the later Final Fantasy games, the voice acting in Persona, probably more if I had more time and imagination….

Re: Katamari Damacy's Keita Takahashi Returns to PS5 with to a T
Looks weird. I’m in.
Re: Evidence Mounts for Seemingly Inevitable Persona 4 Remake on PS5
4 doesn’t need a remake, the graphics and gameplay still hold up and everyone knows the twist and the secret ending
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
Never got into the series due to the long cutscenes and repetitive combat
Re: PlayStation Users Miffed with Sony's Lack of PSN Outage Transparency
*a few whiny PS users are miffed. Fixed the headline. Most of us didn’t care and/or have now moved on
Re: Poll: Did the PSN Outage Ruin Your Gaming Plans Over the Weekend?
Showed how whiny and entitled some people are. Oh no you couldn’t play online games for 24 hours🙄
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Story Now Complete, Game Is on Schedule
Im going to guess that the title will be Final Fantasy 7: Reunion
Re: Lists of Sony’s Cancelled Live Service PS5 Games Paint a Worrying Picture
Maybe forget the idea of live service?
Re: Rumour: Next State of Play Showcase Set for Next Month
@Czar_Khastik I’ll lower my expectations further and predict some more pointless remasters.
Re: Updated AI Limit PS5 Demo Out Now as Pre-Orders Go Live
Im bored of Soulslikes now but this looks good. May as well try the demo. I wish more full priced games had demos
Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
I thought the remaster was unnecessary but it’s a great IP and I’m hoping for a third game at some point
Re: Round Up: All of Push Square's Game of the Year 2024 Winners
All good choices. What’s odd is there’s no mention of Black Myth Wukong, a game that won the players choice award but which I always thought was mid and overrated. And this was the year of Balatro, a game I’ll probably be playing for the next two years
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5 Games of 2024
Black Mid Wukong being above Metaphor is a small but still unforgivable failure of democracy
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Astro Bot
The PS5 needs more joyful games that are easy to pick up and play like this. Most of its big games were darker and required an hour or two per session to make progress
Re: Expect PS Portal's Glacial Rollout of New Features to Continue
More games on the streaming catalogue would be good
Re: Game of the Year: #4 - Stellar Blade
Great game, hoping for a sequel that allows for more exploration and choices.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Story Game of 2024
@scoobdoo to be fair, Rebirth is bloated too
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
@Juanalf I hope I’m wrong! I always assume the worst
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
@somnambulance thanks for the reassurance. I forgot about Infinite Wealth.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
Balatro deserves a higher place, and I have a sinking feeling you’ve got Black Mid Wukong in the top 3
Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Youre going to put Black Myth Wukong above this aren’t you. Forshame.
Re: Game of the Year: Khayl's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024
Rebirth does demand a lot of hours, still loved it though. I wish I liked Helldivers 2 as much as everyone, I just found it repetitive.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Action Game of 2024
@colonelkilgore yeah that or it wasn’t a good enough game.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Action Game of 2024
@colonelkilgore true, but there was a lot of whining about Wukong not getting GOTY
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Action Game of 2024
Black Mid Wukong wasn’t that great. Looked amazing but it was basically a derivative Soulslike
Re: December's PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Are Available on PS5, PS4 Now
I wanted to like Forspoken, it had a promising start, but the gameplay and the way too many shadows made
It difficult to enjoy
Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024?
@Dalamar my bad, I got it mixed up with the Players Choice one
Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Winners
I’m glad Balatro and Neva got awards. Players Choice was disappointing but could’ve been worse, could have been a gatcha game
Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024?
It’ll be Black Myth Wukong because democracy doesn’t work.
Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2024 Offline for Almost a Full Day
Mines working now, give it a try?
Re: 12 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Arrive Next Week
‘Meh’ is the best way to describe this selection
Re: Feature: Khayl's PS1 Memories
FF8 is the best FF game, except for most of the others
Re: Helldivers 2 Wins Game of the Year at UK Industry Awards
This dull, repetitive and generic game won an award?! It’s a free to play game that somehow makes you pay money to play it
Re: Dave the Diver Dredges Up an Impressive 5 Million Copies Sold
Everybody’s drowned, Dave.
Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Revealed, Astro Bot Up for 7 Awards
I hope Balatro wins something.
Re: Death Stranding Gets a Surprise Xbox Series X|S Port, Out Now
A version on the Nintendo Switch (or the Switch 2) would be good, if probably not possible
Re: More People Are Playing the Original Horizon Zero Dawn Than Its Remaster on PC
Because the remaster was pointless? And took time and resources that could’ve been spent making an original game or sequel?
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic
@Cry_Zero a 10 should be, to an extent, groundbreaking and original. Not literally the the same game with extra makeup
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic
@Cry_Zero because it’s not a new game. Remasters shouldn’t get 10 because it’s kind of a lazy thing to do
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic
@MikeOrator yeah I never understood that. The remake of Demon Souls made a bit more sense but even then it seemed a bit pointless
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic
@Aladin_Run well of course people can decide for themselves, but if these kind of remasters become popular it would further erode creativity in the gaming industry. I want this game to flop so other games don’t get prettier but the same versions, and developers work on actual new content. It’s like Disney releasing their movies again in 3D or live action, it’s lazy.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic
But ultimately is there any point in buying this if you've already played the original game? No new content, it’s just prettier.
Re: By the Way, Foamstars Is Now Free-to-Play on PS5, PS4
Meh it’s just Splatoon
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
Nope, got more sense than money
Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
How original
Re: 25 Years Ago, Square Released the Best Final Fantasy Game
This is clickbait and I fell for it.
Re: Kratos Actor Chris Judge Claps Back at Amazon Exec's Gaming Dig
Quite a few examples of great acting in video games- Death Stranding, GOW itself, Far Cry, the later Final Fantasy games, the voice acting in Persona, probably more if I had more time and imagination….
Re: Lust Over 16 Minutes of Unedited Metaphor: ReFantazio Gameplay
Not sure yet, it’s looking too similar to Persona. I like the Persona series but was hoping for something a bit more refreshing from Atlus
Re: Poll: What PS5 Games Do You Most Want to See at Gamescom 2024?
Squirrel With A Gun!
Re: Death Stranding 2 Seems Like a Lock for Gamescom Opening Night Live
Nah he’s probably taunting us again.
