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.

Are you telling me the people who asked me for my banking info, so I can enjoy a free beta of the Witcher 4, tried to scam me?

So that explain why the installer was named really-bad-virus.exe, was so small and didn't update Direct X.

Imagine all this is a leftover fake from 1st of April. So many people would be disappointed.

Still not interested in this game, even if it looks 10% better on PS5.

They would make so much more money calling this statue a doll.

@UltimateOtaku91 You summed it up pretty well. It does feel like a squirrel challenging a fish to a tree climbing race.

Anyone with half a brain won't care about playstation comparison. 2 widely different ecosystems:

• One has Mario and Zelda, the other has some other nice exclusives that are also on pc and a bad controller.
• One can be played on the go, the other cost an extra 220€ to be played on the loo.

I could go on, but you get my point. It's like comparing a coffee maker and a TV. Both needs a power socket to work and that's about it.

Always going for something new and different came with a price. And Nintendo went through some dark times, especially with the Wii U.

After the success of the switch, going for anything else than the Switch 2 would have been pure madness.

The most difficult part in the first one was to take the game seriously during the Mario and princess Beach part.

If there is a similarly ridiculous scene in DS2, turning it into a visual novel would definitely fix it. You'd just need a high school girl yelling "tasukete Porter-senpai!"

@UltimateOtaku91 The price is definitely different. I think you're mistaking people saying "it's not worth upgrading" for "there is no difference".

I guess naughty dog was sick and tired of people asking about a potential third entry.

"It's complete alright? No more, now we're going to space!"... Hang on... Is intergalactic in the same universe after leaving earth because of zombies?

I think it has some incredibly lazy things like the missing door texture or the ugly low res jpeg background at the end of the game.

That aside, the game was good. Main characters were beautifully modelled and side characters looked like weird dolls. Full voice acting was really nice. The battle system was much better than FF15.

And it was missing the rest of the game, but still felt kind of like a standalone with open ending. But I didn't feel like buying the sequel. Maybe if it drops to 30-35€

Hopefully this RPG rise isn't about crappy mobile idle games, but actual RPG like Final fantasy, Xenoblade or Baldur's gate (without any mass layoffs this time)

I'd prefer the games to be high end, rather than the target console. That's a producer for you.

Developers are getting lazy and rely way too much on ray tracing and upscaling, hence the catastrophic optimisation for so many games that don't even look better than some 10 year old games

That's what happens when your last console is the most successful ever (unless you naively believe a certain company's blatant lies)

It would make more sense to have a martial artist in a football game.

Not buying games at a ridiculous price would send a message and put Sony and Nintendo back in line. But people are raised as sheeps and accept everything, so it's only going to get worse. Ps6 will cost 1000€ and games might be over 100€ at some point.

Did they outsource the update to Bethesda?

I'm sure the PS5 is considered a secondary console on Nintendo Life. Asking fans on a fan site won't give you objective results.

@chiliPismysig I'm guessing some people need to convinces themselves they are still playstation fans in the stupidest way possible.

I would just as useful to compare the specs with a game&watch, a Fitbit or a smart lightbulb.

At least the game upgrades seem to be consistent, unlike PS4 to PS5 upgrade which made no sense. Sometimes free, sometimes paid and sometimes there was no upgrade possibilities. And the power jump will be more interesting. Games have barely evolved since the PS4

@Arkz agreeing with you would get me censored by the PC police, but you're right (dammit, my honesty leaked out!).

Even if you ignore what she looks like, she has zero expression on her face. Some actors are just bad and can't live up to their roles.

Rumour on first of April. I can't think of anything I would trust more

20 millions? I thought it would be more niche than this. Then again, Elden ring gave PTSD to over 28 million players.

Square enix would find these numbers disappointing. MH isn't my cup of tea, but I know how much care they put into the past entries. So it's nice to see another success.

I killed the entire medical team without a second thought. I didn't even try to spare them and only felt relieved I could save Ellie.

I was really absorbed by the game, so I wouldn't see any other possibilities if it was happening in real life. Not to mention cutting her open wouldn't guarantee a cure. And I'm not sure a humanity so far gone could be saved even with a cure. So thinking about the repercussions of his choice would only make it right.

Netflix is the embodiment of the subscription, all digital and always online distopias. So anything he says means very little as it is just marketing strategy in favour of his platform.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but that film will be an abysmal diarrhea. I don't see whey anyone would approve a live action Zelda, especially not Miyamoto. There were so many better choices amongst anime studios. I'd even take the awful studio Visual Flight which murdered Ex-Arm over a live action film.

@jackst Most news outlets are corrupted and are always trying to force the idea of an all digital dystopia. This is why you see so many poorly written articles with stupid numbers about digital Vs physical, never taking into account the fact that many games, like indies, are digital only.

So now we have GaaS masquerading as DLCs? I'll just remove the base game from my wishlist, this is just too dumb.

Considering it failed to sell, it's more of a political statement than a social impact. I don't know anything about this game, but the series seems to have made a turn for the worse with more expensive games that sold less and less

@Czar_Khastik That is also the value your comments add to PushSquare.
