Boy, Playstation fans love to dunk on Xbox for no exclusive games, but when they say some games are exclusive like Starfield or Elder Scrolls they absolutely lose it.
I’m cool with it coming to PS4, but people are overblowing the performance issues on Switch. It dips but it’s never unplayable nor does it even get in the way that much imo.
I’d definitely double dip if it comes to PC though.
I also think if they’re going to port mainline SMT to Playstation beyond Nocturne then Persona should drop its mainline Playstation exclusivity as well.
Was meh, but I heavily recommend Death's Door to anyone and everyone that can play it. Beat in on Series X a while ago and it is a legitimate GOTY contender in my book.
I’ll say what I always say. Those saying Xbox players don’t buy games are ignoring the fact that that playerbase has embraced digital and these charts don’t provide the full picture.
Wow segments of this review come off as pretentious. Anyways, I find the combat of Alan Wake a hell of a lot better than the combat in The Last of Us, I’ll say that.
Indies in general have embraced gamepass while PlayStation spurns them for more AAA cinematic experiences. And you bring up the UK as one of the strongest markets, but in my home territory, the biggest market for Xbox, it’s still doing quite amazing. And as far as I’ve heard the UK has always been more of a PlayStation territory anyway.
@KayOL77 I couldn’t tell you why they aren’t releasing the data, but I do wish US data and digital sales data was compiled so people like you would stop saying ‘gosh, no one buys games on Xbox’ when Microsoft themselves say gamepass drives a lot of engagement across the entire Xbox ecosystem and console exclusives like Death’s Door sell well with indie developers praising the amount of visibility they get on Xbox. Among the community in the US that I talk to with people that have Xboxes, they do, shockingly enough, buy video games.
All I can say is I have gamepass and bought Lost Judgment digitally on Xbox and I’m not the only one in my group of friends to do that. I’ve gotten the impression that Xbox users embrace digital a lot easier than PS users.
Trying to get through Tales of Arise, near the end I think but this is next on my plate. I trust Ryu Ga Gotoku to deliver, even with a little bit of division on the story.
@Flaming_Kaiser Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about that...I grew up on Black and loved the endings, but it does seriously suck they cut them out of European releases. Did they even keep them cut on the PS4 digital version?
I’d like to say there’s no defending this, but fanboys prove me wrong again in how much they’ll play white knight for the company that’s fleecing them.
Absolute GOTY. Though I loved the original so I am biased. Already got 1000/1000 on it on Series X, what an absolute treat of a game. They don’t make many platformers like this anymore sadly.
@andrewsqual I'll take Tim Schafer's word on cut content getting added back in and getting access to a clinical psychologist for consulting on the writing coming from Microsoft money over fanboys salty over a game they can still play a great running and looking version of anyway.
The disparity of quality between Series X and PS5 running the PS4 version isn't even as bad as the disparity between the Xbox and PS2 version of the original.
I kinda dig the vibe of this. If the gameplay looks good i'll probably get it. This looks like edgy 90's Marvel cheese which is something I can't help but be nostalgic for, and it at least looks to be going for its own thing separate from chasing after the MCU.

Damn shame. I love the original and enjoyed this follow up.
Re: Resident Evil Village Wins Game of the Year at Golden Joystick Awards
@Reeneman So a PS4 port and a 3D platformer that isn’t as good as Psychonauts 2?
At least list Returnal.
Re: PlayStation's Jim Ryan Admonishes Activision in Internal Email to Employees
I'd be much more impressed if Jim Ryan and Playstation as a whole just stopped allowing Activision games on their systems.

Psychonauts 2 won’t win
But it should
Re: The Game Awards 2021 Nominations Revealed, Deathloop Gets Eight Nominations But Returnal Snubbed
Rooting for Psychonauts 2 in every category it’s in. Easily my GOTY.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
Taking this opportunity to heavily recommend Death's Door. One of the best games i've played this year.

Re: Mini Review: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl (PS5) - Featuring Absolutely No Trace of Doug
This is a good game, and tbh I threw on Spotify when I played it a bit earlier today with the game muted.
Look, I was playing Melee in my Tween years playing Linkin Park with the game itself on mute, it's fine. It isn't Smash, but this game is solid.
Re: Feature: The Best Super Smash Bros. Clones on PlayStation
Yeah, Sora in Smash just dunks on this list of games even more.
Re: Feature: The Best Super Smash Bros. Clones on PlayStation
…Yeah I’ll just stick with the real deal

Re: UK Sales Charts: Lost Judgment the Latest Game to Sell Best on PS5
@KayOL77 No and I don’t care to with someone making unbacked claims that Xbox users don’t buy games because of gamepass.

Re: Konami Whipping Up Castlevania Advance Collection for PS4

Re: Round Up: Lost Judgment Reviews Are Off to a Great Start, But Story Is Dividing Opinion
@shadow2k It is not my first Tales, I’ve passed the mid-game twist and gotten certain revelations as well. About 43 hours on my file.

Re: Tales of Arise Is the Fastest Selling Tales Game Ever, Hits 1 Million Copies in Less Than a Week
Absolutely deserved. Best JRPG I’ve played this year, SMT V has some stiff competition.
Re: UK Sales Charts: New Releases Like Tales of Arise Selling Best on PS5
@mrtennis1990 It’s stand alone, you can jump in and not be lost at all.
Re: UK Sales Charts: New Releases Like Tales of Arise Selling Best on PS5
@K1LLEGAL Digital figures probably make it look a lot less dire. I’m also playing Arise digitally on Series X.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Tales of Arise?
Long time fan that lapsed around Zestiria. Pre-ordered this one, having a great time with it.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Brings Venom to PS5 in 2023

Re: Car Combat Series Twisted Metal Allegedly on the Cusp of a Comeback
This would be pure hype and would immediately be on my radar when I eventually get a PS5
Twisted Metal 2 and Black are absolute classics to me.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Looks Surprisingly Technical in Gameplay Breakdown
I cannot believe this game has tech. Nickelodeon does what Nintendon't I guess.

Re: PSN Back Online After Being Hit with Account, Social, and PlayStation Store Issues
@Flaming_Kaiser I know what it is, yes. And we know that caused the outage? While XBLA was still up? Unlikely. Probably was Sony’s screw up.
Re: PSN Hit with Account, Social, and PlayStation Store Issues
@velio84 How is this Microsoft’s fault?
Re: Review: Psychonauts 2 (PS4) - A Brain-Bogglingly Good Return to Tim Schafer's Mindful (Grey) Matters
Absolute GOTY. Though I loved the original so I am biased. Already got 1000/1000 on it on Series X, what an absolute treat of a game. They don’t make many platformers like this anymore sadly.

Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By
People realize Double Fine probably don't even have a PS5 dev kit right?
Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By
Huge fan of the original since it released in 2005 and after finishing this one I can say it is EASILY GOTY so far.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Is XCOM Team's Take on the Superhero Universe

Now give me Moon Knight, he'd be perfect here.

Re: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania's Next Guest Character Is Someone You 'Won't Believe'
Can it be Vyse?
Re: Sony Investing in External Japanese Development Group
I’ll believe it when I see more off-beat stuff like Puppeteer and Gravity Rush and less of the video game equivalent to Oscar bait coming from them.
Re: Yes, Yakuza's Kiryu Will Be a Playable Character in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
This game just keeps getting better. Definitely one of my top Fall games, just behind Lost Judgment
Re: Hades (PS5) - Who Knew Escaping Hell Would Be So Heavenly?
Yeah no, the voice acting in this game is superb, reviewer is way off the mark in that regard.
Re: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Next-Gen Upgrade Skipping PS5
