People hate Ubisoft because they only do "average" games. Their games are shallow, by the numbers canon fodders. As long as they continue the formula they cracked with FC3 nearly 13 years ago, this perception will continue and rightfully so. Thanks God we see some hope though with latest Avatar and Star Wars games flopping. AC-Shadow not selling as much as Valhalla is a great outcome too.
Edit: Only "good" game from Ubi I can remember in a long time is PoP-Lost Crown and Watch Dogs 2(from what I heard about this at least).
I watched Gamescom night. We learned it's coming, so people can chill about it since they confirmed it. Sharing the information after main game hype die a little would be a good new stuff.
I will definetely check this out even though I don't like roguelike much. I think it would be better to have a 20-30 seconds video yesterday with "Play Today" shadowdrop.
I was going to say updating games fundementally after the release feels wrong on some level for the people who experience it much later but I think they found a good balance here.
Only having the challenge while in missions but not while freely exploring sounds nice.
And awesome thing is all three looks fun to me too. Like I can imagine myself enjoying all of them which is great!
As survival-horror RE is my favourite. Pragmata looks like a cool sci-fi TPS with a good gimmick and cute side character. Onimusha looks really nice and "heavy" as in the sense that you will feel the "kill" and combat and thankfully it's not soulslike.
You know what? I really think you guys should write about Valor Mortis and Routine from the pre-show segment. Those two excited me more than most of the stuff above.
I only care about campaign and it felt like even that one will be awful. Every chapter they showed from it felt like mp maps. Combining that with the rumours about final mission really soured my interest in it.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Is Having a Tougher Time on the PS5, PS4 Pre-Order Charts
I am sure that Gamescom presentation didn't help
Re: Lost Soul Aside's PS5 Platinum Won't Be a Walk in the Park
I am just glad having a Platinum trophy is not one of my obssessions.
Although this game's list is ridiculous more than challenging. Feels like a waste of time.
Re: Preview: Masters of the Brawliverse! The New Retro He-Man Game Hits Hard
Great to have a button for some kind of defence. One my biggest gripes with SoR4 was not having any dedicated block/parry/dash/dodge button.
But I hate the idea of using you health for special moves, I hated it in SoR4 and already dislike it Here.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta's Dismal PS5 Pro Support Could Use a Rethink
Really dissapointing.

They are the "Jason Statham" of gaming.
Re: Halloween Is the Latest Horror Movie Classic to Get the Video Game Treatment on PS5
Good that it has sp this time. Even if it' mediocre maybe they continue to improve that aspect as well.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Finally Out on 4th September
Much sooner than I expected. Rogue PoP, this, Cronos.
I am already playing 2-3 games too. Aaaaah!!!
@Odium
PoP and FIST were better too.
Re: Praise, Raiden! Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Adds Mythologies, Special Forces
I only care about Shaolin Monks.
Re: High on Life 2 Gets February 2026 PS5 Release Date, 40+ Minutes of Gameplay
I meant to try first game after sequel announced. Depending on my tolerance for the dialogue I may play this too.
That VO cast is great though.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev's Saucy Smartphone Shooter NIKKE Will Add Another PlayStation Fave Soon
I love Jill. She may be my favourite RE protagonist too. She was so badass in the remake. Hope to see her again.
Re: Bonus PS Plus Extra Game for August 2025 Announced, Out Now
Awesome surprise! I was going to play it on Gamepass with PC but now will definetely play it on PS.

@MasterVGuides
I watched Gamescom night. We learned it's coming, so people can chill about it since they confirmed it. Sharing the information after main game hype die a little would be a good new stuff.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Legends Confirms Co-Op Stories, 4-Player Missions, Character Classes, and New Enemies
I think talking about this stuff would be better after the main game's release.
Re: PS5 Price Increases Confirmed for USA, Effective 21st August
Just wow! I can't believe this gen at all. I'm glad I had a chance to sell my PS5 og to a friend and bought PS5P not too further away from release.
Re: Surprise! The Rogue Prince of Persia Is Available Today on PS5
I will definetely check this out even though I don't like roguelike much. I think it would be better to have a 20-30 seconds video yesterday with "Play Today" shadowdrop.
Re: These 8 PS5, PS4 Games Will Leave PS Plus Extra in September
Downloaded Plucky Squire for months. Never played it. Guess it's time I give it a go.
Definetely recommend FIST. It's a great metroidvania. I loved it!
Re: John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Is Back from the Dead with Bloodthirsty Gameplay Trailer
If they don't sell it with full price it has a chance; otherwise it will be forgotten before the spring.
Re: New Dying Light 2 PS5, PS4 Patch Has Completely Changed the Game
I was going to say updating games fundementally after the release feels wrong on some level for the people who experience it much later but I think they found a good balance here.
Only having the challenge while in missions but not while freely exploring sounds nice.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Locks Character Classes Behind $22 DLC Pack
Dead on arrival.
Re: 'Special' Hollow Knight: Silksong Announcement Set for Thursday
Finally, so we can move on from this hype. I am sure it will be good but I don't believe it will be worth the wait at all.
Re: BioShock Infinite Executive Returns to Rescue BioShock 4 from Dev Hell
It is better than not coming out at all from dev hell probably. He is capable since both Gears 5 and Diablo 4 were good games.
Re: Preview: Pragmata Goes Full Anime in Extended Gameplay Demo, And We Love It
Hope this delivers. All in all I am glad it's not another "Deep Down" and at least it will be released in the end.
Re: Preview: Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword Seems Steeled for Success
And thank God for that!
Re: Preview: Here's Why Resident Evil Requiem's Tension Is Off the Charts
@somnambulance
And awesome thing is all three looks fun to me too. Like I can imagine myself enjoying all of them which is great!
As survival-horror RE is my favourite.
Pragmata looks like a cool sci-fi TPS with a good gimmick and cute side character.
Onimusha looks really nice and "heavy" as in the sense that you will feel the "kill" and combat and thankfully it's not soulslike.
Re: Silent Hill F's Harrowing Story Trailer Attempts to Find the Beauty in Terror
This trailer gave me weird vibes. It doesn't feel like the same game we saw at SoP at the beginning of summer.
Also combat looks awful. I am not longer excited about it and cautiously waiting for the reviews.
Re: New He-Man Beat-'Em-Up Is the Retro-Style PS5 Game of Your Dreams
I bet it will release with the upcoming movie to benefit the zeitgeist which would be smart.
Re: Ghostrunner Dev Changes History for PS5 Souls-Like Valor Mortis
It was one of the most interesting things from yesterday... Until I read that it's soulslike now. Bummer.
Re: Preview: Here's Why Resident Evil Requiem's Tension Is Off the Charts
My most anticipated game of next year and nothing comes close!
I will choose what is recommended at the beginning and if they don't recommend anything, I will just go with 3rd person.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
@rjejr
I heard og show is the best one.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
@YoureTooSlowBro
Yeah, forgot about that. It releasing soon and Day 1 Gamepass are nice.
Re: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Continues to Look Outstanding Ahead of 2026 PS5 Release
@TruestoryYep
Hopefully not since this one looks like wide-areas and not open world.
@PuppetMaster
The more you know.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Turns Up the Intensity in New Trailer
@BearsEatBeets
I am sure they will consider spin-offs once they are up to speed with all mainline remakes.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
@rjejr
I meant to watch those for so long. One day hopefully.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
You know what? I really think you guys should write about Valor Mortis and Routine from the pre-show segment. Those two excited me more than most of the stuff above.
Re: Stylish Rhythm Adventure Unbeatable Scores November Release Date on PS5
This looks right up to your alley Stephen.
Re: Swords of Legends Will Try to Be the Next Black Myth: Wukong on PS5
@TruestoryYep
Sure Jan.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Turns Up the Intensity in New Trailer
Awful trailer and hilarious considering this was the most anticipated thing tonight.
But I am glad we didn't see much since I won't watch anything else.
@BearsEatBeets
It would be nice to get a remake of those games after this one since I never played them too.
Re: Black Myth: Zhong Kui Announced with Cinematic Teaser, Won't Be Out for a While
I thought Wukong would get a DLC first. Also this game won't release on PS5, trust me.
Re: Mech RPG Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Gets Hefty Demo, Out Now on PS5
Games releasing demos should be a mandatory practice.
Re: Denshattack Is a PS5 Game About Tricking Trains Like They're Skateboards, Looks Sick as Hell
Not my cup of tea at all but kudos to devs for something original and not another soulslike, gacha ***** etc.
Re: Swords of Legends Will Try to Be the Next Black Myth: Wukong on PS5
These Eastern inspired soulslikes all blending together. It looks good from technical standpoint and demo is a good decision I guess.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Avoids Battlefield 6 by a Month, Out 14th November
I only care about campaign and it felt like even that one will be awful. Every chapter they showed from it felt like mp maps. Combining that with the rumours about final mission really soured my interest in it.
Re: Lords of the Fallen 2 Announced for a 2026 PS5 Launch
What a generic trailer that was.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Commits to October 2025 Launch on PS5
@WolfyTn
Deal.
Re: We're Immediately Sold on the Sekiro Anime After Amazing Announcement Trailer
Looks cheap tbh.
Re: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Is a Movie-Spanning Adventure Coming to PS5
I am excited about this one. From what I can tell combat is like Arkham games which is the best combat mechanic ever!
I hope rumoured Harry Potter Collection in the vein of Skywalker Saga and this comes to fruition in the future too.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Commits to October 2025 Launch on PS5
@AndroidBango
I was going to say I will be surprised if this has more than 7 in review scores but now I am even more sure it doa.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Legends Multiplayer Drops as Free DLC in 2026, New Story Trailer Is a Stunner
To say something positive: Storytelling indeed looks much better than first games' dry presentation.
Other than that I don't feel good about this one at all.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
Just like I expected. I am not dissapointed. Gamescom is always the weakest one. SGF stream stays as the best stream from summer season for me.
Only thing that was new and kind of meaningful was LEGO Batman.
Worst part is it being 2 hours. There was maybe not even 1 hour of content there. Who the hell cares and wants that much talking!? Lame.
RE9 trailer was dissapointing as hell.
Am interested in Valor Mortis and Routine.
Re: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Continues to Look Outstanding Ahead of 2026 PS5 Release
@SuperSilverback
Thing is I didn't know there was a 4th one too.
