I feel he shouldn't have to say this, just keep on making master pieces, for the things I loved about the game (voice acting, music, writing) were not affected by AI.

Haters will hate regardless, I thought this year's offering were very good, there was something for everyone. I think the two stand outs were Lies of P and Alan Wake 2.

Surprised that Trails isn't your number one as I know you really enjoyed it, nice to see Dynasty warriors get some love too as it got swept under the rug pretty quickly after release. As for DS2 I loved it allbeit too easy compared to the first, is that bad thing? probably not, the biggest problem for me was getting platinum (eye roll I know) but I always hate three people in that game, The adventuerer, the Tar therapist and the Observatory in the moutains they just refuse to level up their connections...

@CaptainWow Why would it be sarcasm? If they take more for polish and bug fixing then it won't come out in a broken state, not sure what the issue is?

@stefan771 Well if they take more time then it won't be broken will it...

Absolum purely because it has Mick Gordon on the soundtrack

Wise choice honestly

Just watched Skill up's review on this and it actually looks pretty damn good! just shows you how stacked this year was.

Title states cash grab (which is correct)

Sega sees :

@Americansamurai1 Don't..... it was those stupid rotating cubes at the top, talk about an anxiety attack lol

I wish they did more actual levels like this rather then the speed run levels while they were enjoyable nothing can beat the free roam ones.

Snake Eater Delta (yes even with performance issues) because they were faithful to original game, even giving you the option to play the game with legacy or new style controls, I hope they do this for MGS1 next.

@Fiendish-Beaver The game deservered way more attention and copies sold, but from the look of things Bloober are happy with the outcome the game got, I think after they are done with Silent hill 1 remake, we could get a Cronos 2 🤞

@MrStark I agree with most of your list, but are we going to allow Forza a spot considering it orignially came out in 2021? Don't get me wrong it's an amazing racing game, but should it count?

@Jammer @Fiendish-Beaver Cronos fans rise up!

I was hoping they would be adding more story, as I'm very interested in where they go after that ending. I thought the difficulty was perfectly fine as it was but I appricate if others are struggling though.

@nessisonett I mean, the game has been a hit, so what's the issue?

I would say the biggest Sandfall has told us is:

Please note on expeditioner it states dodges/parries are not mandatory which is a lie, good luck going through the game without doing them...

@get2sammyb I was actually going to say Rob but didn't want to cause a fight in the office 🤣

Sooo who's the miss piggy of the Push Square office?

@Jammer You know very well I loved Cronos! If I had to give it any reward it would be the most under appricated game of the year! I also vibed with DS2 a lot but this year was really stacked, but I would say it's one of Kojima's best games to date.

@MrStark I believe in the first sentence you said you disagree with the list though.

@MrStark Almost like people have different opinions to yours...

No KCD2 or Silent Hill f hurts my soul but I still appricate your list.

@SuperSilverback Bro clearly got paid per note

@get2sammyb Dandadan's first quest - Find your balls

@LifeGirl 👏👏👏

@T-Bone09 I think since the boom of social media, it "pays" to be more negative and hatrid about everything, Obviously there can still be valid criticism they tend to get lost in the cesspool...

@LifeGirl Not so sure about that anymore, the comments on the latest ViDoc for the game are actually quite positive.

Now before people dog pile on him, just remember the whole art raiders scandal happened before he even got the job at Bungie, just thought you would like to know that

@Enigk Yeah it's the new version of "in the dog house"

Well with the way I drive on GTA5 I best just keep to the boring steering wheel for now...

@LazyDaisy And sadly Japan did not really care for Astrobot either (criminal I know) as they have Mario at home.

@UltimateOtaku91 "Not every game is going to launch on the Switch 2" and that doesn't matter to them, they will either just not pick up the game or wait till it comes to the SW2 (if it ever does). The PS handheld MIGHT pop off but I can't see it doing Vita levels and certainly not at SW2 levels

Just like in the trails article, Japan are completely set in their ways and nothing will ever change that at this point, unless you are a Italian plumber or a mobile gacha game.

Unrelated but will there be a article on the latest Naughty Dog news?

I guess Japanese gamers really are just tied to Nintendo/Mobile

Brilliant game, I'm just more happy that the game is in the top 10 sold games of year, that's when you know the game is good, despite when Twitter tried to tell you...

@Dalamar Yeah I would say FO3 was great, but New Vegas still clears it easily.

Direct impact in 2039 when the game gets released

@DarianStarfrog

Edit: also the rip off looks/plays exactly like the upcoming mobile game, I mean it even has waifu's in it, I thought you would like that to be honest.

Pass, not the football but pass on the game it's self...

@Toot1st I also hope you are being sarcastic when you say it looks better then Horizon...

@Toot1st cool, now compare them to megabonk, Schedule1 and Ball x Pit

Edit: Also Team Cherry and Supergiant used the earnings they made from their previous game to fund development on the current ones.

@LifeGirl Still a Sony win by making Tencent fold, hell even if they change it up that's still because they don't want to get sued.

By not having a multi million $ budget

@themightyant I suppose the thing I missed out from my original comment was, 95% of studios/publishers don't have a cool $700M budget (quick google search on BO7) for their games, but yes you are correct it won't be all sun shine and rainbows over at HQ...

The sad truth is, most studios/publishers would kill to have CoD's "lower than normal" sales figures, really starting to think it is "too big to fail"....

So he won't be back...

o7 to another legend
