Anything prior to 1.5 would be considered a beta version, something like v0.4. So your v3.0 is laughable.

Those practices suck.
But you do something similar when you only report playstation releases and never mention other platforms when a game is announced. I guess the whole industry works the same way.

Another articles that highlights the sad state of gaming. A game that isn't fully broken at launch or doesn't include microtransactions is rare enough to warrant a news.

@mariomaster96
Video game iconic duos from the top of my head:
EA/micro transactions
Activision/Lootboxes
Nintendo/DMCA
Bethesda/Broken games that are never patched
Sony/Awful firmware at launch (at least for TV and consoles)
Preorder/disappointment

I completely forgot about this game. It's too bad Disney broke the EA exclusivity to get French EA (aka Ubisoft) to make a game probably filled with macro-transactions and DLCs.

Hopefully it won't be yet another generic Ubisoft openworld with a Star wars theme. After Elden ring and TotK, I don't want to go back to openworld maps filled with a trillion icons you need to clear like a boring checklist.

I bet everyone is looking forward to Bubsy 3D Remake.

I was beginning to wonder if they would keep this stupid trend until they make cross gen PS4-5-6 games

Why is it still called "micro" transactions? They are rarely micro and sometimes over a hundred €/$/£. These should be called macro-transactions. Or theft in the case of a full price game that also happens to include another type of theft, aka battle pass.

Why would you put 2 games you rated 6/10 and one 5/10 on that list? At least give us a list of games you rated highly.

I'm surprised EA doesn't sell bug fixes in lootboxes.

Don't people like to have the quality of a free to play game when they paid full price for it? How odd.

First of all, to avoid the video game adaptation curse, you need to avoid the likes of Uwe Boll and Paul ws anderson. Also make sure the director and his team played the game(s) and love it. Then you have a chance of getting a watchable film.

Evil Abstergo doesn't have enough money to finish a game, or even test it, before releasing it. One more lesson to never buy a game day one.

They can't outconsole, so they tried to outActivision the PS5. And so far they failed on both accounts. Meanwhile, Nintendo does it's thing, not bothered by any of it.

Awesome. They promise to finish developing the game... After its release. And that's sadly the norm for modern gaming with few exceptions.

"under article 11.29".
11.29 is also the average number of article per month about Activision-blizzard acquisition on push square. Can we slow down on the amount of rumour and speculation articles until something actually new comes up?

GOW2 was at 80€ at launch in most shops in France, which is ridiculous. I haven't bought any major game on PS5 because of these ridiculous prices. I ended up borrowing most from friends, and since I still have lots of other games yet to play, I might as well wait for PS5 games to drop below 40-50€, or wait for a complete edition for HFW.

In the end, I spend much less on PS4/5 games because of Sony's greed, when I bought a few games full price on Switch since I got my hand on a PS5.

That's a great date to release something. This way people can ignore it and focus on Tears of the kingdom instead

Funny how Microsoft mentions technology when it's only about monopoly. I'd love for them to get hit by the anti trust law if they acquire any more big developers.

It's really nice to see someone finally saying "New-gen" for the current gen. No sarcasm here.

I'd love to see how hard a handheld Sony Stadia would fail.

@Reeneman Sure, but that's not pushing technical limits. It's just improving the frame rate.

They didn't even release it at the same time as the PS5 remaster. Another case of a developer (probably because of the publisher) deciding to fix it later if players complain too much

"The Gran Turismo franchise has always pushed PlayStation's technological limits."
A weird thing to mention for a game that was also released on PS4. It doesn't exactly push the PS5 to its technological limits.

@Flaming_Kaiser I guess you've never heard of optimisation for different hardware. Like some games run like crap on high end pc, when they run smoothly on much less powerful hardware like the PS5 and XSX.

@get2sammyb I honestly didn't expect a website which is not specialised in pc hardware to specify the price per GB. Well done.

It looks like sucking up to Sony and promoting the PS5 was also part of the exclusive deal.

Also the XSX has similar, if not better specs, at least on paper.

Diablo 3 was a turd at launch. It also had the worst thing ever seen in a video game: real money auction house. And it's a Blizzard-Activision game created with another turd, bobby kotick, as the CEO. There is absolutely no way they won't force you to get your credit card to overheat if you want to enjoy endgame content.

This is the reason why I call the PS5 a glorified "PS4 Pro-Pro"

A spinoff in which you play Tyr as a tree and talk non stop.

This reminds me of Xenoblade chronicles 2, when you had to open core crystals one by one with an awefully long animation, hoping to get a rare blade. I spent hours hitting A while watching TV series. They fixed it in a patch with bulk opening and animation skip, but it's still a huuuuge oversight from the developers. It's as if they never bothered to play their own game

Remember when cheat codes didn't require a credit card? These were good times.

Hopefully the game doesn't feature this much emptiness. Having big and pretty landscapes is nice and all, but if there is nothing to do except crossing them slowly, it's going to be a little boring.

So they increased the price worldwide and now it's on sales in the US? I feel like we got screwed twice in Europe.

I just see 2 massive companies full of sh*t which never cared about anything else than money and having the biggest share in the console market. Sony and Microsoft are ready to do about anything to achieve their goal. It's just that Sony doesn't have the same budget, so they are pissed off

Activision Blizzard in 3rd position. It really shows the state of videogame critics. They published diablo immortal and the yearly Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Call of duty.

They recently increased the price of the PS5 for a simple reason: greed. So if the PS5 pro was a thing, how much would it cost? 800€? I'd flip Sony off and use that money for a new GPU.

I borrowed forbidden west from a friend, so I won't buy the expansion if I don't own the game. I might wait for a complete edition at half price is the dlc is any good.

Under a mountain of dust, I have a pc with a CPU from 2012 and a GTX 970. I can most definitely run it in 8K/240fps, but I'm not willing to pay 80€ for a game I already own on PS4.

@TommyNL It's a British website. And don't mistake Europe for EU. Technically, Switzerland is also in Europe and was never part of the EU.

I like both open world and linear games as long as they are not boring or repetitive. Open world games that ask you to go from point A to point B with nothing interesting in-between are far worse than average linear games.

Regardless of the term, RPGs originated from Japan are pretty much a genre of their own. The term JRPG still makes sense as they are extremely Japanese and won't be enjoyed by people who aren't used to Japanese games. Same goes with Japanese animation, cinema, literature, food, etc. It doesn't mean it's good or bad, it's just specific and not to everyone's taste.

And what he says, not thinking about creating a JRPG, is like Indian not thinking about making Indian curry, or French people making French croissant/baguette/crêpe. But the country of origin is still useful to foreigners.

I hope there will only be dogs in FF17. Dogs are so much better than humans.

I'm still looking forward to put my paws on FF16 so I can enjoy my console as an actual PS5, not just a PS4 Pro-Pro

@ShogunRok They have cup noodle in FFXV, so Japan, the English language and mondialisation probably exist in FFXV. They might have a magic gate to UK's Midgard in FF7.

@rawzeku They never bothered fixing the missing door textures on FF7R. So I doubt they'll bother unless gettyimage gets on their case.

I was bored to death by the end of the game and had no interest in playing more of it with the DLCs, let alone new game +.

Isn't pre-pre alpha what most developers call "gold" and ready to be released nowadays?

Is this game still a complete turd? Because 10 extra hours of a bad game only makes it a longer chore.

The big downside about NTSC is that "Welcome to the party NTSC" makes no sense.

They could sell it directly to PS4 owners through their website until they have some supply, and stop feeding it to those f-ing scalpers.
