I was excited... Until I learned you actually need to have an WB Games account to play. Yeah, never mind then. Immediately deleted it off my system and continued playing Astro Bot instead

@MrPeanutbutterz

Let's actually do that - Because it's true. And if people DO somehow ''remember'' it, it will only be for the fact that it's a blatent rip-off from The Last of Us lmfao.

But sure, keep deluding yourself that it's memorable. I'm sure you'll convince somebody.... eventually

What was Days Gone again...?
Oh yeah, right, that Last of Us rip-off with some dude riding a motorcycle. No wonder nobody remembers that one lmfao.

Of course the dude who made that would be salty. Nobody remembers his game. It's not even a flop - it's obsolete

For me, this week:

• Astro Bot (Obviously!)
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition
• The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

Happy weekend everyone! Over here it's one more day of 30 celcius.. after that it's back to the lower 20's - finally. Can't wait for autumn to officially start!

Not sure what kind of special bots you all are talking about.. I haven't played Playroom in over a year haha.
That said, if a game doesn't require internet or an online account to work, it's an instant win in my book.

Naturally - everyone with a PS5 should.. unless, of course, they're only into the generic crappy open world ***** that Sony has released over the last 4 years or so!

Tell me you have too much time on your hands without telling me you have too much time on your hands ----- > Ergo, this article and the people. Lmfao

@GamingFan4Lyf Seriously though.
The last five years or so SUCKED for Playstation imo. Aside from R&C and now Astro Bot, not a single game has peaked my interest.

Meanwhile, on the PS4, i got blown away by all sorts of games; Sly Cooper, Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Knack (Yes really, I loved those games!), Horizon... There's almost none of this veriety on the 5, which is an absolute shame

@dBackLash

Ooooor.. here's an idea: Actually BUYING it and supporting Sony and Team Asobi...? Waiting for it to go on Playstation Plus is such a dick move, not going to lie.. and it will take several years to do so anyway. It's not even full price like most PS5 games either, so unless you don't have a single dime to spare - which I doubt - I highly suggest you actually buy it

Fantastic to see!! Now let's see if the sony fanbase actually have the dignity, the sense and the brains to purchase this, instead of the millionth walking simulator or brain dead live service crap. This NEEDS to sell well if Sony's ever going to get their arrogant heads out of their asses.

That's what I figured!! It looks so, so good.
And FINALLY something that's not ultra violent, or a walking simulator.. or one of these stupid live service games..
Sony NEEDS to cash in on more smaller titles/platformer titles like this. I can't wait to get going on this adventure!

@RudeAnimat0r

... You do realise Sony has released at least two of these stinkers by now, yeah? Both Foamstars and Concord were their handiwork.. and both flopped immensly. And yet, they keep insisting that live service is the future and that they want to keep pursuing it. Yeah, Sony's future is screwed. Their legacy might also be, if they dare to turn ratchet and clank or uncharted into live service multiplayer crap.

@Tielo .... Or people are simply sick and tired of the greedy ass business sense/tactics of Sony and their ***** live service games?

Haha yeah, with the immense flop of not one, not two, not even THREE live service games in the last six months or so, Sony really does need to take a step back and think.

When Astro Bot sells millions within the few few weeks, let's hope they finally actually get their heads out of their asses and start doing what they do best: Making MEMORABLE singleplayer games. If not, well... my patience with the company has nearly run out, if they don't take this chance to make more singleplayer games and less live service crap then i'm out. And i'm fairly certain i'm not the only one either

Another one bites the dust... Hahaha brilliant.
I really wonder how long it'll take for these stupid ***** to realise live service is NOT the future. Aside from some brainless sheep gamers that can't think for themselves, nobody wants these, plays these or needs these.

Don't argue me on this - I KNOW i'm correct on this one 100%.

@ApostateMage And yet, one of the loyal companions in ME3 IS an AI... And she saved the Normandy - AND the Galaxy.

@naruball

Haha funny that you bring up the ONE that was succesfull.. and don't even mention how many have flopped so far.

• Skull and Bones
• Suicide Squad
• Foamstars

and now Concord too. Next time before you try to act smart.. try and read up a little bit first, hmm?

Hahaaaaa great news!!
Let's hope this sends a signal to Sony - and any other original single player developers - that people do NOT. WANT. LIVE SERVICE GAMES.

Really good to see this game flopping so hard.

@Deoxyr1bose Fair enough. It's still good news that it flopped big time though.

Good. That's what you get for making a ***** live service game that literally nobody asked for. I do feel bad for the team though.

@somnambulance

Waiting on a sale for Sonic Generations seems like such a waste though - it's already a fantastic game and with that Shadow story being added too it's most certaintly a day one game for most.. Surely you can just scratch away that ''Metaphor'' game or whatever?

Soooo many games to buy and play!!
Epic Mickey, Sonic, Dragon Age, Astro Bot..
Looks like i'll be quite busy lmao

I kinda like Star Wars.. but the ''Instant failure if you're spotted'' stealth missions and the fact that it's a Ubisoft game instantly makes me not want to get it - not even at a deep discount.

It looks great, but this sentence right here put me off the entire game: "Particularly in the early game, stealth sections are rendered an immediate failure if you're spotted, while quests later on demand you prevent the alarm from being raised"

Spiderman 1 also had this stupid issue. Like, stealth missions are okay and all.. but immediate failure if you're spotted, on ALL difficulty settings? Big no no.

Then again, this IS a Ubisoft game so i'm shouldn't be surprised about this.. yet I still am, somewhat.

@Kanji-Tatsumi This. Then again, I suppose SOME people can't help but find the negative in an otherwise interesting and positive article.

@IOI Precisely!! People absolutely need to buy this; Like you said, if this flops.. then Sony will go hard for these ridiculous live service games and we will never see another platformer..

Remember people: Knack, Sly Cooper, Tearaway, Gravity Rush (somewhat), are all dead because y'all didn't buy it or appreciated enough. I'm fairly certain Ratchet and Clank awaits the same unfortunate fate if Astro Bot fails to deliver.

Hogwarts Legacy, easily. Not only is it the best Harry Potter game, it's the best damn open world game I've played since Skyrim. Absolutely fantastic in every sense of the world.

@Frmknst

lol
cheapass

This had better sell well. PS5 is my final Playstation, so I'll be sure to enjoy one of the (very few) games on it that i'm actually interested in!

No. Let it die, just like the other worthless live service games; they belong in the trash. The more of these games that fail, the better.

@Jrs1 Quite unfortunately, yeah. The whole game is a mess.

@VicerExciser See, that's exactly what I mean! Like, how blind are these companies thinking they can rival Fortnite etc? At SOME point they have to use their brain and just make games that EVERYONE can enjoy.. offline.. right..?

Of course they did. How many more live service games will have to fail before these publishers realize IT'S. NOT. GOING. TO. WORK.

Aside from maybe Helldivers, not a single LSG has actually been succesfull in the last few months! ***** live service.

@ironcrow86 Nah, the gameplay is hella annoying.. and graphically - all that black and brown - is just unpleasant to look at. Sure, Witcher 3 has that too but not ALL the time (White Orchard, Toussaint etc). I get they chose this to match the tone of the game, and rightfully so, but it's just so.. bleh lmao.

@species Haha no Origins was a bit different. 2 was indeed a bit disappointing and Inquisition did have these tedious side quests.. but I enjoyed 2 and Inquisition quite a bit for what they were

@Meowmixes98 Surely you don't mean Origins? That one might have been fine in 2009... But play it nowadays, especially after 2 and Inquisition, and it's basically unplayable.

I know I can't deal with it; especially with that dreadful mage tower mission.. Good story tho.

@WhiteRabbit Like a certain emperor in the DBZ universe would say.. "Dance for us, monkey!"

Nothing for me personally. Waiting for smaller games, preferably platformers. But alas, that seems to be a dying breed unfortunately so I guess I can channel my money into other things

@Yagami Ah, well, I'm not too familiar with Genshin so I'm not sure what you're referring too. But just plain old toxic behaviour online is unacceptable, no matter what game it is. It's like a child throwing a temper tantrum when they don't get their way

@The_Wailing_Doom Absolutely, it's kinda pathetic. I don't like live service games - at all - but I would never attack developers like this. People have become WAY too entitled. Sometimes, I wonder.. if comment sections should just be removed everywhere.

It looks really good so far.

... Buuuut this IS still modern SEGA.. They WILL find a way to screw it up, somehow. Will definitely keep my expectations in check and i'd suggest everyone else to do the same. Unless y'all have forgotten about the travesty that was the Sonic Colors Ultimate or Sonic Forces..

@Mikey856 Right? People have no sense of self anymore.. they just buy what their friends buy with no minds of their own, just to be ''cool''. Shameful and pathetic is what it is.

4/10 lmao
Though 3 are just luck based too. I only knew the one about Cyber Sleuth

@Kraven Oh my goodness, i'm so sorry to hear that.. Sorry for your loss I lost my dad three years ago. I can imagine the extreme pain.. but YS VIII is an excellent game to keep yourself occupied. I do have one tip though, something that really helped me: Making a photo album of your loved one and maybe add some personal text in there too. It's a really good diversion to handle the pain and grief.. at least it was for me

I'm starting Persona 5 Royal, Cold Steel 2 and Witcher 3 this weekend!
I won't be bored for awhile, that's for sure haha. I'm also adding in Astro Bot once that releases!

... I literally never even heard of this game until today

I really hope so! I'd buy it happily once again. I've have had way more fun with Horizon 4 and 5 than any of Sony's PS5 titles.

Hell yeah, let's go! Pre-ordering it for both Playstation and Xbox.
But yes, launching it in October seems a bit fool hardy, even if it IS at the tail end of the month. Halfway through November or December would've been better
