@Rich33 I am currently playing Dragon Age, and I am really enjoying it. The dialogue can be a little rough at times, but don’t let the review bombing dissuade you. It’s a good time.
If he actually changed his name to Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin based on the results of a (what was then known as) Twitter poll, that is simultaneously the most hilarious/incredibly stupid thing I have ever heard of. I tip my cap.
@DennisReynolds I have been on the “Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie” movement for, roughly, 15 years now. This recent influx of affirmation has been very encouraging to my mental well being (read: ego)
Can curb all the same tired positive/negative comments about the PS5 Pro for one second, and focus on the real question here…What in the hell is “Empire of the Ants”?
“Arizona Sunshine 2 has you searching bins, skips, cars, and drawers…” As an American that uses different nomenclature for different things (bin/trash can, trolley/shopping cart, etc…) I am genuinely curious…what exactly is a “skip”?
As a healthcare worker, that works as a member of a team with other like minded individuals, the thought of calling out of work for something like this is insanity. If you applied this level of dedication to your job, you would be in a position where calling out of work to play a video game would never BEGIN to sound like a good idea. This is wild to me.
I’ve been fortunate enough to not have to spend any time in a “slum”, but if I did, I can’t imagine I’d be seeing a whole lot of laptops. Internet access might be a little hard to come by, as well.
I haven’t played this game in YEARS, but at one point it was my most played game. My roommate and I would play for hours on end. At one point we were pretty high on the nationally ranked leaderboards. If I had spent as much time learning to play an actual guitar as I did playing this game, I might actually know how to play a real guitar.😂😂😂
I might catch some flack for this, being a video game website, and this scene not appearing in the game, but…that “Long Long Time” episode was amazing. It was perfectly crafted. Showed that there were still beautiful things to be found in an ugly world. I’m a sucker for a good love story, and this one was GREAT.
I’m a MASSIVE Star Wars fan, and played Odyssey & Valhalla for, literally, hundreds of hours. That being said…this game has zero appeal to me. The gameplay footage I’ve seen just doesn’t look…fun.
If this is true, this is IN-TENSE! The day my boss threatens my life, is my last day of work at that job. Either because I find a new job, or I go to prison…for defending myself.
@playstation1995 I’m a white man from California, but given the references you just dropped, we are of a similar age range. I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT understand the reference. No explanation necessary. Happy New Year, sir. Word up son.
@playstation1995 this might get deleted as “unconstuctive”, but your “word up son” sign off has not gone unnoticed, and it’s amazing. I might be borrowing it in the future, but only with your blessing.
@Old-Red If the result of a subjective (and, in the grand scheme of things, meaningless) video game top ten list is “depressing” to you, you’re living a pretty good life.
Hate to beat a dead horse here, but omitting Final Fantasy 16 off the top 3 is criminal. Omitting it off of a TOP TEN is beyond the scope of what my brain can even fathom. I get it. These things are subjective, but that is objectively one of the greatest scores ever recorded. Epic, (emphasis on EPIC) ethereal, emotional…everything it needed to be, when it needed to be it. I love this site, and will be a staunch defender of its staff writers, but…with that being said…you guys really missed the mark on this one.
The Phantom Liberty expansion is the reason I started a complete Cyber Punk play through from scratch, and I’m doing it proper. Didn’t even go in to Dogtown until I felt like I would be properly leveled. I’m loving it SO much. As much hate as CDPR got (and deserved) for releasing a broken game, they deserve just as much praise for turning it around, and delivering a truly amazing game.
Merry Christmas to all the staff, members, and their families. I generally ignore internet comment sections, but this is one that I have found is (typically) not toxic, where we can share our views, in a like minded community of one of our favorite hobbies.
Never played Atomic Heart. The aesthetics were FOR SURE interesting, but those kind of games just aren’t my jam. But this?!?! This looks WILD. Maybe…JJJJUUUUSSSSTTTT maybe, this officially put Atomic Heart on my radar.
This f-ing guy again. Luckily for him, he probably didn’t have to spend money on that outfit, as it was readily available in his wardrobe. Unluckily for him…that face makes him unemployable, despite his seemingly affable demeanor. WELP!!! BACK TO A LIFE OF CRIME!!!
@KundaliniRising333 pointing out a rather GLARING observation is neither trolling, or hopping on a bandwagon. As a matter of fact, one could argue that someone is trolling by leaving nothing but negative comments about everything PlayStation (on a PlayStation dedicated website, no less) every chance that they get. Just sayin…
Another huge winner, in a category that wasn’t actually a category, was the woodwind player during that Game of the Year live orchestral medley. That guy was KILLING IT!!! Last time a woodwind instrument was played with that much swagger was the saxophone player in “The Lost Boys”.
Hold on one damn second…you mean to tell me that this upstanding pillar of the community…with his entire face blasted…couldn’t find a normal job, and had to resort to a life of crime?!?! What is this world coming to?!?!?! Well…at least he’s not easy to pick out of a lineup…🤦🏻♂️ I’m sure the crack shot team of attorneys he has on retainer will secure him some much deserved residual income.

@Yousef- The score in Interstellar is a big part of why it’s one of my all time favorite movies. Never has a score added more to a film.
