Rambo-kind

When the gaming industry crashes, remember what this guy said. No disc, no buy. I'm dying on this hill.

Nope. Not the guy. If this was 2002, maybe.

@Herculean Correct. It's complete rubbish to think they want this stuff. The younger people I know when authenticity and sincerity. They don't want this corporate AI slop.

@AhmadSumadi It's awesome, give it a try! Very gritty and visceral.

My grandpa used to say a fool and his money are soon parted.

Yeah, no thanks. Just go away.

@Shirtpotatoes75 is everything lgbt in your world?

This is a studio that deserves to fail. There, I said it.

@Boxmonkey it's vaporware, to own the chuds. It's not happening.

Aug 20! Was not expecting this that early.

3200 jobs lost. Just, wow. I feel so bad for these people.

PS5 is my last console. I'm done.

Gonna be a very long day. Sigh.

@Hoodie718 Yeah, it's not going to be forgotten, LOL. Tons of hype for this game in the Souls community. It'll sell well.

@Vladspartan What fantastic financial advice! (eyeroll).

@3Above It'll sell 10M copies. How about those last words?

@BangHangleton Same. I'm not going to support a developer who will outsource jobs for AI. It's not happening.

@DeadRush The game is in good hands. That should be enough. Don't be an eeyore.

@Oram77 I actually didn't mid the length, but yeah, it did seem a bit too much and its unreasonable to think Amanda could have survived all that. Brilliant game and will definitely play the sequel

The first one was easily the most terrifying game I've ever played. I cannot wait for the sequel, day one.

Sucks, but at least we got the remake. I would have liked to have seen all 3 remade. Who knows with gaming, we could get a 4th installment later on in the future.

@Danloaded It is from publisher Nacon, but a different dev.

@Perturbator would you say it's fun to explore overall? I see the Remastered version is on sale on PSN.

But if this is a 50-75 hour experience, that's pretty big, no? I don't mind if the game is overly long, provided it's not filled with dumb quests that are too boring to chase.

To be expected, actually. There are too many games out there right now. I personally avoid new releases, typically. Lots of games on sale that just make sense given the economic climate.

Looks pretty good to me. I mean, they want to be more in-your-face with this game. It's a visceral game, after all.

Steel Rising was fun, but buggy as hell. They did punch above their weight for sure, but could never get to the place where they would release something that was more than average. I feel terribly for the employees. Let's hope they can get back on their feet soon.

Day one purchase. And I hope it sells 5M copies.

Eh, it'll be a cheap fun game to play. They are fixing it so that's good news.

Can they please stop making these dumb live-service games? Disband Bluepoint but keep this dog's breakfast? Make it make sense.

I haven't played an AC game in many years. Just got bored of it. This will get me to jump back in.

Lords of the Fallen 2 and now this. Am I dreaming?

@Balaam_ Oh yes, you have to give it a try. It is a very different game now. I almost gave up the first time through, just too many crashes, weird textures, janky controls/movements. That's all fixed now. It is smooth and flowing. Give it a go!

@Zeke68 I just like how they approach the sequel. They have these YouTube podcasts where they discuss the game, new features, etc. I like confidence like that. And just seeing how really good the improvements are for the 1st game speaks volumes about how good the 2nd one will be. I do understand the skepticism though.

Day one for me. They've earned my trust after all the hard work they put in fixing the first game.

@Marquez combat, controls, etc. Some will be turned off by it.

It is a lot of fun and it's gorgeous, but does have some issues. The difficulty curve will turn some gamers off.

The game will do just fine. Maybe not live up to the hype, but so what? It looks like a fun game and will sell decently.

@UltimateOtaku91 come on, look at what they did with Demons Souls? There is no downside here.

Wow, just wow. I guess From wants to remake it and then create the sequel? I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty pissed at Miyazaki for shutting this down. Imagine what could have been?

I almost feel like selling my PS5 and be done with this stupid company. Go back to retro gaming and forget it all. The management is awful and I hope they are all canned.

I am speechless. I still can't believe they did this. I shouldn't be shocked, but I am. How could this awful management do this to an excellent development studio? Demons Souls remake was what got me into the souls games. I just hope the devs can get back on their feet, maybe start another studio.

It's slop. Sorry not sorry!

@Oram77 from your lips to the video game god's ears!

@naruball just curious, is it true you can beat this game in like 2 hours?

@DennisReynolds Yep, I agree — there'll be an add on that will be prohibitive, cost-wise. It'll discourage people from buying it and sticking to digital. Future of gaming looks grim, actually.

@HotGoomba meaning,1/10?

@James_42 100% correct

I was reading somewhere that there is a rumor that the developers lost the source code. I really hope that's not true. I don't see how it stops them from developing a new game from scratch, but it may explain why we haven't seen a PC port or remaster.
