This is a dream game for my 10yo self. Since I first saw the specialist vehicles that drive around on the airport fields I was hyper curious about all of them. If that would have been out around 1998 I haven't had time for Metal Gear Solid haha!
Lukewarm-take: The industry bends people over the front by letting them pay FULL PRICE digital games. Yet as long as people feel safe and comforted because it's their favourite company from way back they don't see that it's overinflated bs.
People are way too busy stanning for a triple billion industry to realise how st*pid this is. Corporations are not your friends fyi.
Imagine how bad the numbers generated from Starfield must have been that this is considered. Starfield was supposed to be their system seller. Good luck with this one.
Ghost of Tsushima was everything I hoped a feudal japanese AC would be. This seems like it hops on that train (minus the respect for the culture GoT had), and 15 years too late. Looking forward to the Japan sales numbers, because Sucker Punch knocked it out of the park.
@RBMango (#4) I actually laughed out a little when the second song came on. It could have been from W3 and you wouldn't even notice, down to the vocal parts. Maybe they should have hired someone else?
@czDante92 (#127) damn that's a damn good analysis! I never looked at it from that angle but it makes sense. No one on the web, especially YouTube (or at least in my feed) talks regularly about how meaningful of a franchise Horizon is.
@themightyant (#25) maybe the editorial staff and management agreed on opening up a new Overton Window of how they could push engagement with the site. The whole tone of this opinion piece seems off, way too emotional and aggressive.
What I find strange is how sharply worded this article is, especially the last paragraph. It seems emotionally loaded and doesn't quite fit the usual tone of this website.
I'm all for good Anti-Trust-Law, but when it comes to the US there's no one more pathetic when it comes to chinese companies. The whole thing is a farce and pure actionism by the regulators. Just like the laughable TikTok-ban.
@Max_the_German (#16) oh mate it's worth it alone for the setting and atmosphere! Tell me Abaurycy isn't a top tier video game character!!! Get it, it's available as physical version as well!

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025 Announced
PS Plus became the garbage bin of unsuccesful developers, it seems... At least High on Life could be redeemed.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Now 'Super Fluid' Parkour Was the Reason for Its Second Delay
AC Unity is still the Parkour goat

Good luck with that one, Ubisoft.

Re: Poll: How Would You Have Reacted to a Live Service God of War Announcement?
I would have chuckled, shaken my head and didn't care further except for ridicule.
Re: Would You Pay $100 for GTA 6?
@Mr_B021 (#10) Damn right, and companies are NOT our friends.
Re: Would You Pay $100 for GTA 6?
Hell to the no.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
Having played some and always enjoyed them, I'm somehow happy for all the devs that the reinvention of their formula worked out so well!
Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is All But Official Now, More Than a Graphics Upgrade
@Nepp67 (#9) Imho the best AC by far
Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is All But Official Now, More Than a Graphics Upgrade
Kind of unnecessary tbf, it's a PS4 title and still holds up as it is. Shareholder appeasement, maybe? To get the stock back on it's feet?
Re: The Final Suicide Squad PS5 Ending Is a Real Sorry Sight
That's a relief. The game being finally over now, I mean.

Re: Ghost of Yotei Stars in Sony's New, Big Budget Marketing Campaign
I accidentally platinumed GoT, that's how deep I was into the game. Looking forward to more from it!!!

Re: British PS5, PS4 Survival Game Atomfall Could Be a Great Alternative for STALKER Fans
This looks intriguing, that's a setting we never had before. Looking forward to a lot of folklore from the British Isles!
Re: Random: The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Is Now as Old as Skyrim Was Back Then
The funny thing is that people seem to simply don't care anymore.
Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
@Kriandis (#101) that's a pretty lazy analysis and seems as a shallow repsonse to anything regarding a "culture war".
Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
@DadJKP (#103) One hundred percent.

Re: Gaming Colossus Tencent Added to US Blacklist, Accused of Ties to Chinese Military
@PorkChopExpress rather too big for US political hegemony

@themightyant make an educated guess haha

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for January 2025?
To even think of Suicide Squad as a PS Plus game seems like an insult to us subscribers 😂

Re: STALKER 2 Dev Says There's No Current Plans for PS5
Well that's a crying shame! I was always interested in the franchise, but I'll take a GOTY version down the line, too.
