The only reason these Eastern-developed Gatcha games get a partial pass in most cases is because of the waifus and fan service. Can you imagine the uproar if a Western developer made a Gatcha game with characters intended for the so-called "modern audience"

@tameshiyaku

I also want more of Project Century. What they showed at the Game Awards looked flippin' cool, but I don't think we will see much until the third quarter.

@AinsleyE

Please may this prediction of yours be true....(Judgement 3 or Kawami 3 please Universe)

@SirCecilNiplewhip

I think you meant Pirate Yakuza is a rose between two thorns...lol...

Not gonna lie, I would probably get one for my Xbox as I hate the off-set analogue sticks on the ones I have now.

no disc drives in stock is the number one reason I have not pulled the trigger on the PS5 Pro.

I used to game on PC and spend more time fiddling with various settings than playing a game.

TBH, though, with my PS5 and Xbox, I spend more time in the TV/console settings trying to get each game to look perfect with HDR, 120hz, and various Game Modes than I would like to.

@Northern_munkey

Because it's fun? That's why I do it. lol...also boredom maybe.

@Northern_munkey

why do you feel the need to care so much

@Northern_munkey @Max_the_German

I also believe the article said "Random" in the title so that excuses it from being strictly Playstation-related.

Could never understand why some people hate cutscenes so much.

I am going to miss Stellar Blade’s soundtrack the most when I’m done playing it. So freakin good!!! Especially that song at the Oasis.

@LikelySatan

User name checks out because anyone who skips cut scenes in a Like a Dragon game is likely Satan.

@Drago201

As I said. Whatever we decide is the aggravation of the day is I guess I am glad it's this and not more complaining about bald women or the censored bloomers of girls of questionable age.

There is a reason that this game is as big as it is and every other gaming company is chasing this like it's crystal meth. You may think that just children are playing this game but you would be very wrong. There are probably measurable demographics, across all walks of life, that are being discovered every day. This game's user metadata would probably boggle our minds.

@Smackosynthesis

I guess there is always something that is going to ENRAGE the gaming pitchfork mob. Granted complaining about DLC or Remakes is better than the usual misogyny and racism that plagues the "community".

There are now way too many gamers with way too many things to complain about during way too much time of their day.

Look at all of us Europeans trying to figure out why people from Japan do things differently from us, it is so cute.

Atlus will make games the way they make games and you will enjoy them. That is the decree.

I wonder if they changed how the camera works or how character models are rendered on screen to save memory and this is just an unintended result.

@lazarus11

I agree that Kay Vess was ok. Her character design fits the themes of the game. I was only making the point that these outspoken gamers like female characters just fine as long as said female characters can be objectified.

@lazarus11

For these people the problem isn't that the character is a female the problem is when that character is not a hot, feminine, jiggly, lingerie model. Eve is good, but Kay Vess is not good.

@stu123

Nope, it's just a prediction.

@Lup

Yes, these are cinematic trailers, not gameplay trailers. It's ok to have both and we will see gameplay when the time is right.

@Savage_Joe

I consider myself to be a "core" fan of gaming, I also have money to spend on games. I bought both Stellar Blade and Star Wars: Outlaws and enjoyed them both. SOOO what are you saying about fans of video games who don't care or have grown emotionally enough not to cry over a diverse character design? Are you saying we are not real fans?

@mariomaster96

As you can clearly see in the trailer she WAS acting cool while she was on the video call with her handler, but as soon as she was off the call, we could tell she had all sorts of apprehensions for what she was about to do. She obviously puts on a mask of coolness for those around her so they don't get to see her weak side. "Being cool" is only one facet of her personality.

I will not buy full-priced AAA games like Alan Wake 2 or Balders Gate 3 digitally. I will buy smaller games like Stray or Pacific Drive.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner

I had to get up early to watch the Olympics this Summer. It sucks that time zones are a thing. Try to watch the World Cup in the Americas when it is hosted in Europe. It's not US-centric it just happens to be in the US.

There needs to be an option under the "Why are you watching" question for all of the above. Whatever happens at these awards shows it is the talk of the town the next day.

In my best Stephon from Weekend Update voice:

New York's biggest club is called The Game Awards. It has overlong speeches, tone-deaf announcements, controversial game trailers, cringy celebrity appearances and Jeff kissing the arse of gaming royalty.

What's not fun about that?

I need to know what games are being added to the PS Portal streaming selection.

Can't wait to play this on PS+

Showing concept videos years before you have a playable product and then watching the hyped-up internet rake you over the coals is why we don't get concept videos years in advance anymore.

@Simu001

If you wanted every corporation to shut down because they are rotten from the top we would have very few left. Ubisoft is the least of our worries.

@JustCameHereToSay

We all will cause Democracy to fall for the Meme.

@Meowmixes98

I may have to pick up Atelier Yuma. I haven't played any of the Atelier games in full (tried some on the PS+ but they were old) but this one looks really fun!

@NathanKang

Not worth the full price? NOT WORTH THE FULL PRICE??!??!? I paid twice as much just to get a $2 6" acrylic statue, a silk flag, an eyepatch and a doubloon.

@NathanKang

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii for a start.

@NathanKang

If you are not trolling I think it may be time to consider leaving this hobby behind to concentrate on wood working or model trains...lol...

@Leeg

Every time. First its Zelda then its Elden Ring...never catch a break those guys...

The final round of Players Choice is up and it's as stupid as the rest of it: Black Myth, Shadow of Erdtree, Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, and Zenless Zone Zero. I guess the people have spoken and we are all basic. No Stellar Blade, Like a Dragon, Persona, Final Fantasy, Astrobot, Metaphor, or even Balatro

@FutilityInExcellence

Don't worry they changed the rules so that they could nominate the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erd Tree for the game of the year.

Complaining about what time it's on in Europe is about the most entitled thing you can complain about. Many things can be said about the Game Awards, but them not changing how time zones work for the world is not one of them.

I watched Jake Baldino's "Before You Buy" and he was generally positive about his experience. There were lots of fisticuffs instead of gunplay, some cool puzzles, and it leans more toward Indy's intellectual side instead of the crazy blockbuster movie Indy. There is also a certain symbol that has not been censored that makes beating up the bad guys feel extra satisfying. I will probably give this a go on GamePass. Oh ya, Troy Baker also pulls off a voice-acting miracle it would seem.

Exellent, our yearly reminder that corporations collect and store everything we do online and know exactly who we are and what we get up to. I am just glad there isn't a Google Wrapped to show me how much of a piece of sh*t I really am...lol...

I always try these games, spend enough time to enjoy what it has to initially offer, come up against the progress wall, and then quit. I am always worried that the next one will hook me into remortgaging the house.

Why are awards people tugging on the Erd Tree so much? You can't even access it unless you beat two super difficult (for most) bosses in the base game! Does Miyazaki have so much clout that even his DLCs are considered this important? Never in all my days

@AlecEmpire

Just like the Olympics when its hosted in IDK...France...kind of a big FU to North and South America. Time zones suck.

I know, I know, eat the rich, down with corpos, Etc Etc...

but cheese and rice are there a lot of entitled gamers out there? Can't we like the thing for the thing it is? Why is there always one guy begging for money and free games, another one port begging, people crying for a showcase, and 3 people with nostalgia glasses so thick they can't see anything but the past?

Saw this trailer last night in a YouTube trailer roundup and at first I wondered how I missed the new Horizon announcement. It's not just the robot designs but the lighting, environments, characters, and all the other ephemera that flash around the screen. It looks like what I imagine how a Horizon MMORPG may look. Not saying it shouldn't exist just amazed that the entire design language from Horizon has been used.

@Futureshark

It sure changes the meaning when you know the entire quote.

@get2sammyb

I am glad PushSquare will post what they think may be interesting to people and let the cards fall where they may. It's not like there is a limited number of stories that can be posted in a day. Why do these people feel compelled to come into a comment section of an article that they deem unnecessary to post about how unnecessary they feel it is? I mean, don't click, it's easier.
