This game's story is fantastic.

Love the voice acting, especially with the "old English" feel it has. It makes the story even more immersive.

DMC 5 deserves all the love! Best DMC in my opinion.

Also Monster Hunter Wilds dropping in sales is great too. It sends a message to Capcom to not be sloppy with their games. Monster Hunter are games that consistently sell well and this huge decline for Wilds could be a wake up call.

@Czar_Khastik Phil Spencer? Was it you the whole time?

"1984" was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a guideline.

I think it's a really bland and boring game. I hope this means a more competent studio will get to make a new Star Wars game.

That's 16 nominations too many.

@SuntannedDuck2 Yeah, I was being cheeky with my post.

I think a situation like this is completely acceptable. EA is terminating their services but the game is still playable. It's in line with Stop Killing Games and what most people want, which is permanent access to products they bought and own.

Apparently EA is launching a petition, it's going to be called "Let's keep killing games".

No Mafia game had amazing in depth gameplay.

Most of them relied on the strength of their story and characters, and they tried to change with Mafia III they were able to maintain the depth of characters but the open world made the game repetitive, tedious and the story dragged to inflate playtime.

I think they're trying to go back to their roots and sticking to what they know. I'm cautiously optimistic.

It's Square Enix, they probably planned to release it now, which means it will come out in 3 years.

That's 2 minutes of my life I won't get back.

A game that could be fully playable offline is going to die because EA couldn't care less about it's customers.

It just highlights the importance of initiatives like Stop Killing Games.

Can't wait for them to do a FFVII and have Zidane in 10 billion scenes with Kuja, completely killing any mystery the character had.

They're replacing him with a new generative AI model.

Same artificial behaviour without the need for a salary.

EU citizen living in the UK. Already signed both.

It's really nice to see the gaming community aligned with positive goal.

A few more signatures and we get there!

That's amazing! That's how it should be for every game.

This is a good time to remind everyone that Stop Killing Games is fighting for games preservation so we won't be unable to play products we purchased once the developers stop supporting it.

There are petitions in the UK and the EU and both are almost reaching their goals.

Have a read through to see if you agree with it. In my opinion it could be a pivotal moment for all future games to function like Death Stranding 2 does.

@Liamsufc1 Aren't they? The Last of us 2 remastered looks exactly like the original and it sold like hotcakes. I wish it wasn't true, but you can slap a remake or remaster label on anything popular and people will gobble it up.

@MaelysSedisia Record sales mean nothing in the video game industry. Hideo Kojima is an unknown for most people in the world, but much more popular than she is for gamers.

She's popular in the music industry, not in the video game industry. This makes as much sense as Cristiano Ronaldo in King of Fighters. Probably the most well known footballer in the world, much more famous than whoever this Lisa is, and yet the game flopped hard.

Being popular in one field doesn't make you popular everywhere.

Btw, everyone in this comment section is telling you that she's an unknown. You're clearly a fan and your bias is showing.

@MaelysSedisia Like most people here. She's popular to you, not to most gamers.

"Never heard of her... I don't even know why I'm writing this comment... I'll see myself out."

My point has been proven

@MaelysSedisia I meant this person being the global face of Playstation is a joke. Most people don't know who she is a she's not associated with games. It sounds like a joke

A bit late for April fools, isn't it?

You know what's the best way to prevent horrible historical events from happening again?

Completely ignoring them and pretending they didn't exist seems to be the answer.

Pathetic.

@dskatter Never questioned his financials. How are these two things associated?

If you're not a hardcore ARPG player, there's a lot to enjoy. The story is ok, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is fun. It's not a game that you can easily sink hundreds of hours in it though. But for free? It's a hell of an offer. (pun intended)

Not to throw some shade, but I've seen better skin than Kojima's

The plot is interesting, the acting is great, but the gameplay is incredibly boring.

I got the first one for free on PS Plus and yet couldn't finish it. I feel like a lot of people share the same sentiment.

@GymratAmarillo Zero empathy, huh? The prices increased out of nowhere and if you compare the minimum wage with the cost of games there, there's an absurd disparity. I guess because they're in a tougher situation screw them, right?

I already have Diablo IV, but it's a game with so much content it's worth the monthly subscription by itself. Jusant is an interesting indie title and it's always nice to add variety with a fighting game. Great month

His voice acting was great in Mafia 3. He just seems to have bad luck with the projects he's attached to, but they definitely don't fail because of him.

Claire Obscure's success doesn't come from being a turn based game, it comes from being a great game.

Square needs to focus on hiring talented people and letting them make a great game, not on which games are selling really well and making poor copies of them.

They definitely haven't, right now they're at an amazing pace of 2 PS3 games per year! By the year 2500 we'll have the full library available!

@get2sammyb "In some people's opinion the best game of the year."

There, I fixed it for you.

No, I don't think I will.

Premium is an absolute rip-off.

An extra £20 from Extra to get one PS "classic" per month

In what world 2m sales of a new IP is a low number?

Maybe companies/people need to start managing their expectations.

@Lowdefal Ah, I wasn't aware of that. If that's the case, then it's explained.

Thanks for the info!

@Lowdefal I've heard the mutilation explanation but recently I've played Rise of the Ronin and the game depicts mutilation quite clearly and your character can cause it.

I would like to understand a bit better to what kind of violence they're referring to, the criteria seems quite nebulous.

I would like to understand Japan's censoring a little bit better, because plenty of Japanese games have extreme violence, gore and limbs being torn apart.

Is there a criteria or is it because it's not made in Japan? I honestly don't understand

I'll finally be able to play Helldivers 2 with the Pope!

People don't understand how dangerous a monopoly is.

If and when Microsoft quits the console race Sony is going to take full advantage of it. Nintendo doesn't compete directly with them.

They can price their products however they want and they will hike the prices due to a lack of competitors.

At the end of the day Sony is a corporation and their goal is to maximise profits, they don't care about people, just the bottom line.

"Sincere apology". Everyone who previewed the game said it was a broken mess. They released it because they ran out of money and the devs were not given enough time to finish it.

The only game I care for is Eiyuden Chronicles which I already bought.

Bad month for me, very mediocre month overall.

I won't spoil anything, but I'm glad it comes with all the expansions as the ending of the original campaign was absolutely awful.

Great game and I'm the minority that prefers this one over NW 1.

The first Outer Worlds wasn't a major success and by no means felt like a AAA game.

Selling this one for £70 is guaranteeing its failure, especially in the same year Oblivion Remastered released for £50 and Claire Obscur £45.

Both will more likely than not be superior to it at a lower price.

Best developer possible for a James Bond game!

It's going to be interesting to see how they mix the Hitman gameplay with the James Bond gadgetry and espionage intrigue.

@Jrs1 Completely different situation. There were previews and the game was awful.

They streamed the game without allowing anyone to play. They also had to turn god mode because the game is completely unbalanced.
There were many bugs and weird glitches according to previews.

Of course, if you want to ignore all the red flags that clearly show this is an unfinished product, that's your choice.

Best Persona plot. With P5's gameplay it's going to be best Persona game for sure.

Played at my friend's place for a few hours and found it incredibly dull. I'll buy it at a heavy discount.

I still think it's great that it's coming to the PS5, since people who are curious can choose to buy the game, but I personally wouldn't recommend.

@DonJorginho 100% agree. Customizable difficulty guarantees most people can enjoy the game.

This game is such a wonderful experience and people shouldn't be stopped by hardcore gatekeepers.

I easily got at least £100 out of it.

Another common L for Sony this gen.
