@Shaw_Brothers - I'd trust a Chinese game box over an iphone. Also the UK has actual wrongthink laws now, far more 1984 than having that thing sat in the house.

@StitchJones - This is 60fps, as is the PS4 version.

@MrPeanutbutterz - Seriously not wrong, this game has zero online trophies but that isn't enough so he finds room to condemn a different game due to lack of personal effort.

@ShogunRok - That header image is glorious! Cole is definitely pressing X to Doubt on this one.

The Ascent is superb, even with those brutal difficulty spikes I enjoyed it so much I got both PS5 and PS4 platinum trophies. Definitely interested to see what Neon Giant do next.

@MFTWrecks - Right with you on Ruiner, brilliant game!

Days Gone Remastered and AC Shadows. Have a good weekend all!

@DennisReynolds - Only the estimate from the analytics data that I linked above which has it at around 4.3 mil so far. If thats anywhere near correct then its pretty poor for their flagship franchise.

Fwiw, I'm not a Ubi hater by any stretch. I enjoy most of their games, especially the AC series and I actually think Shadows is the best of the RPG type AC games. Hate to see it do poorly tbh.

@DennisReynolds - Well if they expected it to sell poorly by franchise standards then mission accomplished I guess. Yves must be thrilled.

@judgmentarrows - Has it sold well though? Ubi aren't giving any sales figures and estimates are not looking good at all.

As for not being expensive to make, with a credit roll of 3 thousand entries its safe to say it wasn't cheap.

@DarianStarfrog - It doesn't appear in the UK/US catalogue and according to the article I linked it was removed in December 2023.

Matt McMuscles covers this dev debacle in his latest episode of What Happened? Well worth a look..

@Quintumply - Since when has DMC5 been on Plus? The only DMC games I see are the streaming versions of HD Collection and DMC4 for PS3.

@Ken_Kaniff - If you like weird check out Gori: Cuddly Carnage. You play as a hoverboard riding cat and use the board as a weapon to slice up an army of unicorns. Really good fun!

As someone who actually enjoyed Godfall I'm very interested in this. Counterplay are a solid dev team. As mentioned it has strong Returnal vibes, looking forward to seeing more. Also love the protag design, reminds me a lot of the Hunter set you got from the Last Wish raid in Destiny 2.

Days Gone Remastered and some Stellar Blade. Have a good weekend all!

Yeah, no. I'd rather not for that money.

@dskatter - To be fair GTAV for PS5 actually had a timed upgrade path. It was £8 if you bought it within a month of the release.

@Balaam_ If you put the same effort into GTA online as you do complaining about trophy lists you'd have the GTAV plat by now.

@RoomWithaMoose - Those numbers are all good and well but my point was SR did well enough to make 4 mainline games and a spinoff regardless of GTA4 and 5. SR eats at a different table obviously but I think there's still room for both. I'm certain a fan service return to form SR would do well enough to turn a profit.

@RoomWithaMoose - GTA has been one of the biggest IP's since the PS2 days yet SR 1-4 and the Gat spinoff managed to find an audience alongside GTA4 and 5 and all of those games released in the same console generation.

There's definitely a place for a SR prequel if done right, especially for folk like myself who loved the series but have zero interest in GTA6.

As mentioned above, don't make it open world. I know Hitman Absolution gets a lot of (unfair imo) hate, but that type of smaller curated sandbox design with set goals would lend itself well to a spy game.

I'm really torn on this one. NG is my favourite action series but as a series vet, beat every MN campaign, played in community tournaments etc this isn't my NG at all. I honestly think after vanilla NG3 its the weakest game yet. Shouldn't have been a mainline entry. Voted 6 fwiw.

Ninja Gaiden 4 and some Days Gone Remastered. Have a good weekend all!

Extra code, 50 jades and 10k credits..

@Silenos - Did you clear all the original Simulated Universe stuff, Swarm Disaster, Gold & Gears etc? Obviously I don't know how old your acct is but there's plenty of endgame stuff to do in there that gets overlooked if you haven't.

@get2sammyb - Concern she may be underpowered.. When your showcase of the character is E6 the concern is real!

For anyone interested in LaD Ishin! The digital deluxe edition is going for £11.99 in the current store sale.

Playable for years to come. Shouldn't that be playable forever?

@Exerion76 - I think all the Bungie games are still fun to play though. I really liked ODST and the Reach campaign is my personal favourite. The 343 games however, not so much.

I'd love to see Castlevania LoS1 get the full remake treatment or a new 3D game. Keep LoS2 though, that game was a steaming turd. 💩

Regardless of his overall hype mentality and later NFT shenanigans; Molyneux has put out some absolute bangers in his time. Dude is a legendary figure in the gaming landscape.

Those weapons look suspiciously like the Eclipse Scythe and the Falcon's Talons from NG2. Not the first time Team Ninja have removed what are considered to be staple weapons to sell as DLC. They did the same thing with those same 2 weapons in vanilla NG3.

The amount of SA are monsters etc is genuinely amusing. As @LifeGirl points out, every company takes blood money, Saudi or otherwise.

Keep that SA is bad energy knowing your favourite game box maker has a rather successful camera division that has sold optical systems to the Military Industrial Complex for decades, guiding missiles and drone strikes into countless innocents. Just saying.

Just bought Forza Horizon 5 so I'll be on that mostly with a bit of Forspoken on the side, not sure why it gets so much hate. I'm about halfway through the campaign and enjoyed every minute so far. The parkour movement is excellent and Frey's potty mouth is so out of place in the world she's in it's absolutely hilarious.

Have a good weekend all!

@stefan771 - Invisible War is playable on PC as well as Xbox.

Would prefer Nightdive to handle this over Aspyr, hopefully they don't balls it up!

Sounds exactly like input reading, that's been in fighting games for decades including the lucky draw. DoA4 on OG Xbox had a very similar system.

@Rich33 - NG always had difficulty settings. Easy and normal are playable by default. The harder difficulties have to be unlocked via progression. Mentor difficulty unlocks by beating normal and likewise Master unlocks by beating Mentor then Ultimate after Master.

@ErrantRob - Story wise RoF isn't particularly great and the world is pretty dull but the combat system is brilliant. That said it has an extremely steep learning curve and can be brutally difficult. If it clicks for you though its a lot of fun. Just know going in that it will absolutely destroy you at times.

Been a very long time since I played Killer7 but there were quite a few Smiths references in that game. I distinctly remember a note titled How Soon is Now, pretty sure there were others.

@Jrs1 - Nah mate, that line means the piano playing is worse than the singing.

@djlard - Puzzle Quest 3 is F2P and is full of MTX.

Good grief, the motion blur in that 5th screenshot is horrific. When a static image almost triggers my epilepsy there's zero chance I'm buying your game!

Nice one, look forward to giving it a go. Loved the base game.

Little something for the virtue signallers. Keep in mind your fav plastic game box maker also has a nice decades old sideline selling optical systems for missiles to the Military Industrial Complex. Something to consider while atop your high white horses.

That header image kills me, Keighley looks like a live action Homer Simpson with hair. As for the prediction, he will yet again be dressed like a 6 year old boy at a family wedding.

Layden conveniently ignoring that Sony started the 'free' games via subscription arms race on console. From the original Plus sub giving Minis and PS1 titles, then the late era PS3 revamp offering so called AAA games that forced MS to compete. We're here now thanks to Sony then.

Nobody has ever craved for any DA Remaster. For that one possible lunatic that does, go to a charity shop and buy any 20 year old potato PC and a copy of the game(s) for less than the price EA would charge for the not happening Remasters, visit a mod site. Enjoy!

Additional codes valid for August. 110 jades and one fuel.

@Serialsid - Get out of here with your logic and reasoning!

The game tanked financially. Had it recouped the budget and sold like hot cakes Ubi would be shouting those numbers from the rooftops.
They gave it away with PC GPU buys and put it on two subscription services where you can play it for the price of a burger and fries but hey, players!!!

Seeing that they own Columbia, Tristar etc and a basic version of Sony Core Pictures is part of the Premium sub, wouldn't mind some half decent movies being added each month, the list is pitiful.

Been a very long time since I played but got the itch to head back into Yharnam for some blood ministration. A Hunter must Hunt! Have a good weekend all!

Sad news if true. The series peaked with FM4 for me, still the best sim lite I've played. Crazy that they own Bizarre Creations back catalogue of racers and never did a thing with it. Remasters of Blur or any PGR game would do good numbers.
