I get why Silver Lake and the Saudis are bad, but what about Affinity? Not like I needed more convincing not to buy EA games new anymore…my last exception will be Plants vs. Zombies
This game is looking really good! And I don't mind that they're doing that. This game could handle a bit less bloat.
@MB3108 Dragon Quest III's remake had the option where you could let the AI control the party or you could control them yourself. Most likely they did that for time constraints. And it seemed the party was overleveled...also likely to speed it up for the demo.
They don’t need to do anything else to convince me. I just got the email that my payment for my pre-order will be coming out of my account soon. Can’t wait!
@mary1 True, but don’t think Yotei will be one of them. I probably could’ve given more examples here. Still, I don’t let social media tell me what to do since most are just stirring up the pot.
@KonstantTrouble Look at Hogwarts Legacy, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and The Last of Us Part II. All had a lot of vitriol directed towards it, but still sold very well. Usually the loudest voices online are in the minority. Wouldn’t worry too much.
@Enuo Well said. Most of them likely weren’t going to play it anyway.
What was wrong with it the way it was? The no load times and no modern day is great, but don’t want them making it a quasi RPG. This definitely decreases my interest.

They can have it.

As far as specs go, we’ll see when it happens. Don’t believe rumors on anything with that
Re: Animated Wallpapers for Two of 2025's Biggest Games Added to PS5
A Ghost of Yotei one would be awesome
Re: Review in Progress: Battlefield 6 (PS5) - You Won't Be Buying This One for the Campaign
Does anyone honestly play these type of games for the campaign?
Re: PS5 Animal Crossing Clones Are Now Just Blatant Rip-Offs of the Nintendo Series
Nintendo definitely has the right to sue on this one. It’s blatant infringement.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Still Coming to PS5, It's Claimed
Not believing this again!
Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
Hopefully not true. Gaming would be much worse off for it.

Microsoft lied to get their way?! SHOCKING!

Ghost of Yotei
Re: 'Told You So': Ex-FTC Chair Lina Khan Is Having the Last Laugh Over Xbox's Activision Acquisition
Ubi’s deal with Tencent only leaves the valuable stuff (Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed) and leaves the rest to rot.
Re: Xbox Squandered Over $300 Million Putting Call of Duty in Game Pass
Some heads need to roll at Microsoft.
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Anticipated Physical PS5 Release Will Require the Internet
@Clytorial_Impact Well, in the US, there's still a lot of places with crap Internet.
Re: Oblivion Remastered's Anticipated Physical PS5 Release Will Require the Internet
Well, there goes my interest.
Re: Sounds Like Sony May Finally Be Starting to Wind Down PS4 Support
It should. The PS5 is almost five years old
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Ghost of Yotei?
I’ll be playing it tonight when I get off work. Have to a bit late, but then off for the next few days, so all good.
Re: Ubisoft and Tencent's New Company Stewards Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, More Starting Today
Only way it’s getting better is if the Guillemots get ousted. Not happening now though.
Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
Pachter talking out his ass again.
Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Gets Glorious Illustrated Famitsu Cover
This is beautiful!
Re: Mega Publisher EA Agrees to $55 Billion Buyout by Saudi Arabia, Silver Lake, Affinity Partners
I get why Silver Lake and the Saudis are bad, but what about Affinity? Not like I needed more convincing not to buy EA games new anymore…my last exception will be Plants vs. Zombies
Re: Unwind with Almost 20 Minutes of Square Enix's Stunning Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined for PS5
@Issen_Mode You should play the remake of III. It's amazing. And I and II are coming soon.
Re: Publisher EA Poised to Go Private as 'Advanced Talks' of $50 Billion Buyout Emerge
I almost never buy games new from EA anymore...that likely won't change. Still, there isn't much they make anymore I like anyway.

Re: Here's One Last Ghost of Yotei Trailer as the Game Approaches Launch on PS5
Almost time at last!
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
I'll say good. Nice to see a lot of stuff that isn't coming out in the distant future.
Re: First Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Is Incredibly Gory, Set for Fall 2026
This game looks both brutal and awesome. Looks like it's going to be great
Re: Nioh 3 PS5 Release Date Leaks Ahead of State of Play
Getting their releases before GTA VI
Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Has You Covered for 100 Hours of JRPG Action
Looking good
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 Punching PS5 in the Mouth from 8th December
Might get the 20th anniversary pack.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 24th September, 35 Minutes of PS5 News and Reveals
Expecting another Yotei trailer and Wolverine. Other than that, I don’t know.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets Yet Another Trailer, This Time Showcasing PS5 Features
They don’t need to do anything else to convince me. I just got the email that my payment for my pre-order will be coming out of my account soon. Can’t wait!
Re: Silent Hill F Is Another Game That Stumbles on PS5 Pro
This is the second biggest reason why I don’t get the pro besides the cost. It shouldn’t be running worse than it would on a normal PS5
Re: Even More Xbox Price Increases Make PS5 Look Like a Good Deal
Another PS5 increase is probably inevitable, but hopefully they can hold off for a little bit.
Re: Ghost of Yotei's Very Reasonable Dev Budget on Par with Predecessor
Can't wait for this!
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Remake Graphics Comparison Shows Just How Far This Classic RPG Has Come
@rjejr They said they're cutting down some of the bloat for the remake if that helps.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Remake Graphics Comparison Shows Just How Far This Classic RPG Has Come
Very nice. Looking forward to playing this in February. For those wondering, top is original, middle is 3DS, bottom is the remake.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Is Just Two Weeks Away, So Here's a Gorgeous Cinematic Trailer
This is their big game heading into the holidays. Not surprised they are. Just don’t read the comments if you value your sanity
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Adds DLC Clans to Base Game Following Backlash
@dskatter Pretty much, yeah.
Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': PS5 Pro Has the Worst Version of Borderlands 4
You can’t take user reviews on Metacritic seriously since they refuse to do anything about review bombing.
Re: Latest Ghost of Yotei Trailer Is a Quick Hit Before PS5 Launch
@mary1 True, but don’t think Yotei will be one of them. I probably could’ve given more examples here. Still, I don’t let social media tell me what to do since most are just stirring up the pot.
Re: Latest Ghost of Yotei Trailer Is a Quick Hit Before PS5 Launch
Looks so amazing
@KonstantTrouble Look at Hogwarts Legacy, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and The Last of Us Part II. All had a lot of vitriol directed towards it, but still sold very well. Usually the loudest voices online are in the minority. Wouldn’t worry too much.
@Enuo Well said. Most of them likely weren’t going to play it anyway.
Re: 'The Largest Game Launch in History': Rockstar Hypes GTA 6, and Who's Going to Argue?
If it’s not the biggest launch ever, something is seriously wrong

It sucks, though you can upgrade. Miss the days when there were price cuts on consoles.’
Re: Rumoured PS5 Showcase Seems Set for Next Week
TGS is next weekend, so would make sense.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4 Remake Makes Big Changes, Drops Modern Day Story and Adds RPG Elements
What was wrong with it the way it was? The no load times and no modern day is great, but don’t want them making it a quasi RPG. This definitely decreases my interest.
Re: Rumours of Imminent PS5 Showcase Gain More Credibility
We’re halfway through the month. Still time.
Re: Everyone's Talking About How Little Physical PS5 Games Contribute to Sony's Bottom Line
I will give physical priority until it’s taken away
