@GamingGod The biggest spikes in the player base for D2 was Lightfall ~ 316K players and The Final Shape ~ 314K players but I like said I just cannot see Marathon getting those numbers.
@Vovander Yeah it maybe a little optimistic, but I think thanks to Arc Raiders who has opened people's eyes to the extraction shooter genre, and of course Bungie's name still carries weight.
Apparently people in China have been playing a closed beta and are resonating with Marathon quite a bit, so it may have a good following over there once it's released.
Well I think i'm going to pick this up as something to play until RE9 comes out and at £35 that's a fair price for 6 - 8 hours. Persoanlly wouldn't have "trail and error" as a negative as that's kind of the whole schtick with these games.
I truly hope this game will be good, we sorely need more horror games from new/old IPs. Also want to see more on ill but at the moment that game is screaming red flag.
@TDHorizon I understand it from a surprise/hype point of view, but also think it's to stop people from reviewing and pointing out issues with the game, a prime example of this is the Oblivion remaster.
@DadJKP Honestly Konami would get so much money/good will from players if they did that, plus the further we get away from the awful HD collection the better.
Benn wondering when we were going to see anything of Townfall, really hope it looks good.
Damn only a 6, and from looking around 7/10 is the general average, that's a crying shame. this will therefore be on the infamous "wait for sale" pile. Will end by saying I still do really like the art style and sheer wackyness of the game.
Thank god, was really starting to worry about the roster size, yeah this is starting to look like the fighting game to be playing soon (hopefully they have tweaked auto combos though)
The biggest rumour I have heard is DMC6 is going to be announced (apply a pinch of salt). I think this could be a really great SoP maybe with Intergalatic as the closer...
@LogicStrikesAgain "And remember, the Horizon Co Op has a canon story which can be played alone as well, so its not a multiplayer only title" But that goes against the narrative, therefore cannot be true.
@Boxmonkey " I imagine a lot of the people complaining will think twice before buying a ps6" I really don't think that is true, If I learned anything about modern gamers, they say one thing but do another. Didn't people say they were not going to buy a Switch 2 because of the cost....
We all know, no matter what is shown we will see in the comments people moaning and were expecting GOW4 and Uncharted and Killzone. I for one always appreciate the SoP for what they are.
@Rich33 Rebirth was my GOTY that year, I truly think it's one of the best RPGs ever made and that's coming from someone who has FF7 og as their top game of all time. I have faith in SE to deliver with part 3 as much as I faith in Capcom with RE9, and remember Capcom are also hit and miss with performance (Dragon's Dogma), the Pro version of Rebirth is simply stunning imo.
@HotGoomba But that's the thing, all they need is one online game to pop off and they will make bank, your example of Helldivers 2 proves that, Yes it wasn't done by a first party studio, but Sony won't mind as they own the IP and thus reap the rewards.
I'm happy to wait but after that can they move onto a brand new IP,. Don't get me wrong I like the Horizon franchise, but there's only so much you do with it. I have same energy with Sucker Punch and the Ghost series.
As someone who had to suffer through Rebirth's VR fights (trust me they are really unfun) I won't judge anyone if they choose to use these "cheats" to complete them
@Rich33 Yeah I can't wait to do my new game + play through, I think I'm going to wait for legends to come out then I'll jump back in. Wasn't aware they'd bump it up to 120HZ that will look on amazing!!

Re: There's No Stopping Multiplayer Sensation ARC Raiders, Reaches 14 Million Copies Sold
@GamingGod I think Marathon will do fine. not Arc Raiders levels but will flatten out to maybe 50 - 60K players on average.
Re: Of Course Jason Momoa Stars in the Helldivers Movie, Out November 2027
honestly this is a terrible pick, the man's only good role was Khal Drogo in GoT...

Re: Here Is Why Sony Put Helldivers 2 on Xbox
@OldGamer999 Why would Sony care? They made profit from Yotei that's all that matters, you seem to be the one making a competition out of it.
Re: Here Is Why Sony Put Helldivers 2 on Xbox
@OldGamer999 Of course you would pick up on that bit..... While Yotei was the 3rd best selling game in the US

I still think alot of people are waiting for part 3 to come out then they will just buy the bundle. Still a very nice gesture can't argue with it.
