Ah, the ever reliable Paul Tassi.

He has the incredible skill of being worse than fake AI clickbaits.

I've just played the demo and it's rough.

The game doesn't look great, the movement is stiff and awkward, the combat is floaty and it lacks impact, the voice acting is wooden.

The only positive was the soundtrack.

I came out of the demo with a much worse impression than I had before playing.

Hopefully I'm entirely wrong and the full game is amazing, but it really felt like an average action game from the PS3 era.

I downgraded from Premium to Extra a year ago and it was the best decision I've ever made. If they increase the price again I'll just go to essential. So many games are being taken out of extra that the value for money is getting worse every month.

Some people here never played fighting games and are giving their 2 cents with zero knowledge.

Fighting games support last much longer due to tournaments and also mechanics changing completely from game to game.

The developers are also not losing any money as fighters packs and outfits DLC frequently exceed the price of the full game and are released steadily and frequently.

It creates a healthy tournament cycle and it fills the developers pockets.

The reason NRs is dropping the game is because it wasn't a great game for tournaments and the fighters were disappointing. Instead of fixing the game they dropped it.

This is not a case of gamer entitlement, it's a case of a developer cutting their losses because they failed to develop a great game.

@Czar_Khastik Nice improvement on the original version hahaha

@Czar_Khastik Damn, that might've been the best comparison I've ever read. I literally lol'd

@Oram77 I absolutely don't know that.

While the people who are hating on the game because of the main character's appearance are ridiculous, we haven't seen nearly enough of the game to say if it's going to be great or not.

I loved TLoU 1 but thought the narrative of 2 fell apart, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I love open world games but no every game needs to be open world.

The mafia series is a great example of that. 1 and 2 are much better than 3 which is quite bloated and repetitive.

It's quite unfortunate too because the setting and characters are interesting.

The Old Country is looking quite promising and it seems they've learned their lessons from their mistakes.

One critically acclaimed game, one extremely popular and one that is niche but a quality boomer shooter. Whether people like these titles or not, Sony has done really well this month.

Quality titles in completely different genres.

@Meowmixes98 You're the hero we need!

Great attitude to have. We need to do our best to keep talented studios afloat, it's a win for everyone who likes playing quality games.

What a fantastic month!

I want to play all 3 games!

The amount of compliments and criticisms make this read as an 8 not a 7. I think considering how flawed the original product was and the intent to maintain authenticity, this review was a bit on the harsh side.

Tbf that's better. The patch introduced new bugs, so we're going to get an improved version of it when they patch again.

@ChrisDeku That makes a lot of sense. I love the game, but it doesn't run well on PS5 and critics will definitely deck some points in their review scores for it.

@naruball I would say a lot of people do that, you're right.

I'm my opinion remasters should be done a long while after the game's release. But that's my prerogative, so it does become a bit hypocritical to criticise it

@naruball I'm generally against remasters of modern games that look and function well like The Last of Us 2.

I played Oblivion on a X360 and it was tough. It ran poorly, full of bugs and it looked a bit ugly. Underneath all that mess was one of the best games I've ever played.

This version fixes most of my gripes and it looks gorgeous. There are different types of remasters and some games need them more than others.

I think because of the extremely positive reviews, the visuals, the unique premise and word of mouth, this game is going to have long legs and sell well for a while.

@Th3solution Nice! What you're doing is quite important!

I normally would do the same, but Oblivion is a weak spot of mine.

It really looks like Bethesda was quite aware of Claire Obscure's release and just chose to ignore it.

I don't think there's direct benefit to them, but a lot of detriment to the smaller studio.

In the future I'll do it like you did it, smaller quality studios need our support to survive.

I know for a fact it will affect the sales of Expedition 33 because I'm one who's not buying now.

I was waiting for the reviews to drop to choose if I was going to buy the game or not, but after the Oblivion drop I'll be playing the remastered version of one of my favourite games.

I will buy Expedition 33 down the line, and ironically I really hope most people won't do what I'm doing, as they need much more support than Bethesda does.

@ChrisDeku You even left one asinine comment to make sure you were right

The Last of Milking Us For Money?

Good moment to say that if they don't increase the price of their games they're going to wreck the Switch 2.

@TheDudeElDuderino Completely disagree, not with what you've said, but your stance on it.

They reduced the price because the PS3 was completely tanking on sales. The way they found to reduce was by doing exactly what you said, but the fact doesn't change that they had to reduce the price because it wasn't taking off.

Another example is the 3DS and in that case no alterations were made to the console.

Sony does what Nintendon't ?

Remember when the PS3 was ridiculously expensive and it flopped miserably until it cut its price? We can do it with our wallets.

This list was made by people who call video game consoles "Nintendos"

I think Nintendo just screwed all of us even more.

They've just set a precedent for other companies to do the exact same.

I will wait for sales and hope most people do the same.

AAA games have been failing left and right and one of the reasons is the unwillingness to pay £70 for a game when some cost £30.
I think this will put even more pressure into the quality and scope of AAA games and even more will fail like Veilguard did.

It might be a crazy prediction, but I think a lot of big publishers/developers will shut down due to the increased pressure and a lot of smaller developers will thrive by offering a solid game at a cheaper price.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is getting a Director's cut?

That's why the PS5 and the Nintendo Switch were complete failures. Oh, wait, both were massive successes?

This is just PR talk to advertise gaming with Netflix and please the investors.

It looks a bit clunky, but there's still time until release to iron out the kinks.

I'll read reviews and watch gameplay videos before biting the bullet on this one.

I've always enjoyed Uncharted way more than TLOU, I really hope it's true, especially if Neil Druckmann is not that involved with it.

WB gaming division hates money.

A lot of games have been falsely reported as successes when they launched by their publishers later find out that their results are much worse.

How about we wait a month to get real figures before starting false narratives of success or failure?

Tom Burke looks a lot more like Snake than he does.

A good director on a RE movie?

We might finally get a proper adaptation.

Really high hopes for this one!

These prices are ridiculous.

It's better to save money and buy a used PS5 for £300 at most.

That's pretty cool! Very considerate and it definitely boosts employee morale.

I guess the gaming community became Warner Bros' nemesis....I'll see myself out.

And yet in your review you gave the game a 9 out 10, ultimately encouraging this type of behaviour.

It's a great review and quite comprehensive, but if you and other reviewers keep brushing these issues aside, you're harming the consumer by making little of games being released in inexcusable states.

I'll play it once it's fixed.

Not paying premium for a game that had performance issues from the first beta and a fix still hasn't happened.

I suffered that through Dragon's Dogma 2 and it was a much better game 6 months after the release.

Capcom needs to improve their engine ASAP. Every game they release has graphical glitches and poor performance.

@Horizon_Rover Oh, nice! I resigned myself to my destiny and reloaded a save. Tbf I only lost 10 minutes, so not that unlucky.

I had a few flashes happening early in the game and got stuck in geometry once, besides that, smooth sailing.

A huge technical improvement over KCD 1 and an overall better game.

Disgusting. Hopefully this game undersells but we all know that people will see the name and gobble it up without thinking twice.

I think all these remasters are absolute scams, but clearly there's a market for them, so Sony is doing what commercially makes sense.

@__Seraph I was just thinking about the mainline numbered ones, tbf.

Code Veronica definitely deserves the remake treatment.

RE 5 and 6 need remakes more than any of the other games in the franchise.

They're so flawed and there's so much to improve.

Imagine correcting story elements as well gameplay for the games.

They could actually become classics like the predecessors.

If they add Quidditch to the sequel it will sell over 40 million copies.

@J2theEzzo That's fair! He should be at least nominated!

And the prize for most out of touch CEO goes to....Andrew Wilson!

A surprise to no one, I'm sure!

It's currently the lowest scoring mainline Civ game on Metacritic.

Nice misleading title.
