I don't know any game that would make me pay more just to play a few days early. I think it would even dissuade me from buying a collector's edition. It's like the Disneyland fast pass, so people who spend more can give the finger to others... Such a nasty way of conducting business.
Also I'm more in favour of late access, as in setting a price alert on 3camel. I still have a trillion games in my backlog to keep me busy.
@OldGamer999 make sure to deactivate motion blur in the game. The blur could also come from the motion smoothing, or whatever it's called on your tv. It's often on by default and has some weird results, especially when the frame rate fluctuates
@get2sammyb It's not the first time I've seen Death stranding 2 describes as first party on PushSquare. It should be considered an exclusive, not a first party, since Kojima production is an independent studio and owns the IP.
@AhmadSumadi It's because we love PushSquare and read every single article. Also I liked AC in the past, but they got worse with the bloated Odyssey and straight out awful with Valhalla. I'm just keeping an eye on the series to see if I'd be interested again, but I'll probably just buy Ghost of Yotei and keep avoiding Ubisoft. I my answer satisfied you.
And just a little gift to make you happy: this game is so uninteresting, who would even buy it?
That game needs to be played with HDR. You know, because clair/obscur means bright/dark in french and you need the better contrast... I'll see myself out.
@gaston If you're offering to pay for it, I'll gladly try VR. But I'm not paying the price of a console for an accessory that only has a couple games worth playing.
I'd rather have psvr games playable on TV. And if I have to choose between an accessory with few niche games, or the console that will let me play the next Zelda, the choice is easy.
The Z4 is strangely absent from films and series. I used to have a 2007 version. Great car. Hopefully the game won't crash as often as the onboard system...
I'm looking forward to a Perfect Dark announcement on PS5. Some other Rare revival would be great if they manage to modernise them. I know it's nostalgia talking and it's probably not as good as I remember, but I'd love to see a Jet force Gemini sequel or modern remake.
Is there a Push Square list of must play games by genre somewhere? It would be awesome to have all your highly recommended games in the same place, well sorted with the price when they are on sales.
That makes sense if they trained their AI to copy previous entries in the franchise. Each game is pretty much the same as the previous one. This just shows the laziness of the developer.
EA could do the same with the off brand FIFA and nobody would see a difference
I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I don't care. I just want a worthy successor to Nier automata. I wonder which studio they'd choose to develop it.
They need to release a BS trailer before even starting development. It wouldn't be a Cyberpunk 2077 game otherwise.
I wonder who will succeed Keanu Reeves in the sequel. I'd upload Ryan Reynolds to my brain for a fun time until I die. But it will probably be a woman this time. Could her name be... Ciri? Or Alexa?
Is there anyone normal amongst the execs, leads, etc. in the video game business?
Years ago I did an internship at a crappy video game dev (since acquired by ubisoft, lol) and both co-CEO were absolute nutjobs who regularly ruined the code because they thought they were competent. And at least one of them had affairs with female employees.
This sounds like AA market was stuck on portable consoles, aka the PSVita Sony abandoned on release. That's too bad.
They could make a great Horizon or GOW spinoff action-adventure in a top down perspective that would sell like hot cakes. They could make 10 of these on the same budget as the main series, lowering the risk and guaranteeing steady income. I'd be up for a 40€ 20h adventure if the gameplay is good.
Another day, another layoffs. They just wait for a game to be finished to sack people. This has nothing to do with success, they just don't want to pay people.
I'm never disappointed for 2 reasons: I don't expect anything from Sony, and I don't watch state of play. I'd rather rely on a certain website called PushSquare.
I don't trust Sony's numbers. They've been lying constantly for ages. Either relying on tricks like short supplies to make people believe their products are more successful than they are. Or straight out inventing numbers, like the PS2 magical arse pull.
Probably part of his contract. I've seen so many people say their film/series/game is the best thing in the universe... until it flops. Then they take a huge dump on it and blame everyone else.
If they want it to fail, they just need to leave hogwarts right after the intro and focus only on a bigger and even more boring open world. Who wouldn't dream of a thousand Merlin quests?
"the map size of the game was the size of Europe" that one big red flag. Big and boring, or so ambitious it will never see the light of day (looking at you star citizen)
Difficulty is one thing, but the only thing I hated in elden ring was the complete absence of QOL, like the absence of pause while offline, or a quest journal (without clear objectives, just quest log)
The price will drop anyway, so I can grab it when it's right for me and the bugs have been ironed out thanks to the beta-ish testers who paid full price.
Sadly, layoffs will probably continue for years. Especially if they start relying on stupid AI for everything. But they will keep the overly paid, poor decision making idiots at the top.
It's insane they never remastered it. It had "legend" in the game cube title and it was well deserved. Although I'm not sure it has aged well. A remaster might need some QOL and animation improvements.
@LikelySatan Viking samurai. Everyone know about them. Admit it, you just wanted to be agressive because I said "black guy". I just can't be bothered to remember Ubisoft character names, nothing against you people.

@AndroidBango Not a bad typo in this case. It's bloody enough to justify the colour. It could also be a rogue autocorrect.

So you almost pay the entire price of the console over 36 months and you own nothing. You might as well buy it and sell it when you're done.

Re: Tekken 8 Boss Katsuhiro Harada Schools Fan Over 'Disrespectful' Response to Anna PS5 DLC
Self proclaimed fans or "true fans" are toxic. They are typical idiots who will say "I'm a fan, but this is the worse game in the franchise".
They are just stuck in the past in a nostalgia prison.
