So that's what they mean by "playing with yourself". I thought it was solo games for schizophrenic, but I was wrong.

I wonder how much money they sunk in these live services. So many good solo games could have been made instead.

The PS5 is pretty much an RTX PS4 Pro-Pro with SSD. So many games were cross gen and it'll be the same with the PS6. Games aren't optimised anymore and rely on raw power to use frame interpolation and upscaling to hit a pseudo 4K/60FPS with mediocre results.

The past 5 years were by far the least impressive in terms of visual improvements. And I'd even call it regression in many cases. So I perfectly understand his point, and a new gen definitely doesn't get me excited unless Sony innovates for once.

@Mythologue Now is a good time to say you're joking and you didn't think I was serious.

The PS6 won't even need blu ray. DVD should be enough. Maybe with "technical progress", games will be sold on floppy disks in the future. At least young people will know what the save icon represents.

The most common cause is a cleaning lady unplugging entire server bays because she couldn't find a socket for the vacuum cleaner.

Amazon should really invest in battery powered cleaning equipment.

It's probably not a rip-off. I doubt any character can be as obnoxious as Aloy in HFW. She was lovely in HZD, but I didn't like her at all in the sequel.

I think super easy difficulty is important. Not everyone wants to struggle if the difficulty is too high.

Wether you're stuck on a boss, or just don't find the game interesting enough and want to speed through it, an easy difficulty makes the game more playable.

I often quickly lose interest when I beat the main quest, but I still like to explore remain quests, and story difficulty is great for this.

Those indie darling devs should stick to what they do best. I think many studios underestimate the difficulty of making a good 3D game.

It reminds me of Trine 3. The dev just ran out of money and released barely a third of a game because of the switch from 2D to 3D.

That makes me worried about moonlighter 2...

Will it ship with an SSD at all? Maybe you'll have to buy one separately so their investors can get richer.

That's why otaku are so obsessed with panties. They don't know there is anything under it because of censorship!

@UltimateOtaku91 You can blame an anime's popularity for the cinema release.

The studio makes so much more money with a 90 minute film than with a 12-24 episode season. I know it's annoying, but it's easy to understand why. Plus we get top-notch quality for the grand finale (This time it's a trilogy for the end of the series. There shouldn't be another season after this.)

I still prefer this to years of waiting, just to get a film that doesn't even fit into the story, like Black clover. Or a new season handled by a crappy studio like so many anime.

Just like video games, manga and anime should never try to please western audience. That's why more and more people enjoy Japanese and Korean works.

"The original Daemon X Machina was a Nintendo Switch exclusive that was fairly well received"

I wouldn't call 69% metacritic score "fairly well received".

It'll be a Stadia 2 exclusive. Also Stadia will be back to fail more spectacularly than last time.

"the PS2, which is still the best-selling console ever"

Allegedly. We've been over this, but Sony clearly can't be trusted with sales numbers. Still amongst the best sellers though.

Much cheaper than PS5 pro and backwards compatible with PS4/5 games would be the only way to convince me. I'll go back to pc gaming if the PS6 costs 700+€, unless the average wage magically doubles in the next few years.

How is it possible to churn out so many games? They aren't small games, and quite polished compared to most AAA games. If only they could figure out how to include a pause function and rudimentary quest journal.

Hopefully this will push square enix to make a NieR automata sequel. Eve definitely needs competition from a gothic lolita, so they are both the best possible game.

Come on Yoko Taro! Make a sequel and shout your love for Shift Up. That'll be enough to market the game.

I hope they will add an unlockable skin for a bald James Bond with a barcode tattoo: 0047

It looks incredible. Hopefully they will have learned from previous releases and avoid selling a technical mess. I'll wait until it's patched before buying it.

Getting 3D scanned and staring in a video game was the answer.

The sole mention of "real fan" is ridiculous, whether it's in a case like this, or self proclaimed "real fans".

In a parallel universe, there is an Xbox Series X bundle with Ghost of Yotei.

They need to make a trailer and promote it with a star before even starting the development.

It would be nice to have some proper control on Sony and Nintendo's side BEFORE shovelware hit their eShop. I don't know the current requirements to sell a game, but it's probably mostly automated.

I don't think the antitrust law could ever be applied, even if Microsoft bought everything on the planet. They probably own all the key judges and politicians. And if a judge was to really oppose them, he'd disappear or get suddenly rich and drop the case.

I misunderstood the title at first. I thought it was about buying games with your face on them. That would be a very unsettling thing.

Even if it is, it won't be for me. I'll wait for a discount (also I'd pay in euros, but not 80).

Could it also be that people who didn't play the game were here for Pedro Pascal? When the best actor isn't part of the show anymore, some viewers will be disappointed.

@RatmCky According to mainstream media, it can only be review bombing when it includes even the slightest hind of a sensitive subject.

It's easier for them to call people haters and claim it was review bombed, than admitting your game/series/film has flaws and isn't as good as you think.

"Something" could also be a 8bit demake, or an live action Netflix series (please never consider doing this)

Developing a VR game must be a hard decision to make considering the limited audience. More games should work without VR, regardless of the immersion.

Free to play games are by far the most expensive games.

They should have changed "pal sphere" to "pokécube" and call it a day.

He could entrust DS3 to Konami... Too soon?

The game has more realistic eyes than the show. They were right to spend millions on this.

Gameplay modes in lootboxes! I'd love to see Activision or Ubisoft doing this. The next logical step would be bug corrections in lootboxes. Please make it happen! I'm sure people would still buy their games.

I will refrain from saying anything about the nasty goblin that's occupying my country's presidency. Just saying that turd shouldn't be mentioned on PushSquare. That stain is hard to wash.

GTA5 is still selling like crazy. They have the right ideai polishing GTA6 as much as they can. People will still be there whenever it's released and will keep buying it until GTA7 comes out in 2077

The top brass must have made some really bad decisions for everyone to leave Platinum games. Could it be linked to those online game rumours, with platinum turning into a GaaS machine?

@Matroska People usually refer to turn based for menu based as you say. As opposed to action RPG in which you can move and attack freely. Emphasis on action, not just QTE to block or do more damage.

They probably should have continued with turn based RPG for Final Fantasy and create either a spinoff series, or an entirely new IP for action RPG with a similar name. Like The Last Story, which was pretty much action FF, all the way to the name, creator and composer.

I wonder what's the released/cancelled ratio for AA/AAA games this past decade. And how many were cancelled without the public even hearing about it.

Perfect time for another price hike.

Looks good though.

@Northern_munkey as I said, I was joking about it. But people have accepted overly intrusive macrotransactions (nothing micro about it), games sold in pieces with the actual ending is hiding in a DLC, pre-alpha releases mascarading as final versions that don't even work. We have been living in a gaming distopia for years and it might come to paid bug fixes one day. Or maybe all games will require a monthly fee on top of the 80+€/$/£ it costs.

@NishimuraX I've been joking about this for a while. EA or Ubisoft will eventually charge for bug fixes in this gaming distopia.

No need to specify that an update is free. It's implied.

Do let us know if we ever have to pay for an update so we can boycott the studio and publisher.
