That's what you get for not buying Marathon. And Concord. And Saros. And Horizon: Chubby Chasing.

Hunters Gathering Cake

Oh no. Someone left slop in the slop.

I like that there's no giant neon trail of sparkling magic kyodai power following every punch. Period settings look great, and the story seems cool. Cautiously optimistic. Would love to love an RGG game again.

@IntrepidWombat oh yes we get taxed out the arse until dead then taxed again for good measure. Nice weather though.

The article has numbers in US dollars. A £69.99 game in the UK is already way over that $80 when you convert it.

If you're still "furious" about this, you must lead a carefree life.

Are you ready to admit it doesn't?

No. Take them out and replace it with scenes of characters slowly walking and talking instead.

So . . . Temu Dark Souls, Anime Whatever, and some excellent PS1 games? Alright. I'd buy that for £6.99.

I too got really got obsessed with Oblivion back in 2006 and again with the remake last year. The heir to that style is the Kingdom Come games, rather than anything BSG have done since. Still, I'll def be trying Starfield at some point, though probably not at launch. Got another alleged 6/10 called Crimson Desert to keep me occupied for the next year or so...

For anyone wondering, the game runs and looks fine on base PS5 quality mode. Quite stunning actually.

Yay! Now do Marathon.

@Member_the_game Barts Nightmare on the Mega Drive comes to mind. 😆 / 😢

Looks awesome.
I really like that there was a whole "will the ps5 handle this?" conversation rather than "and here's the PS4 version."

@Fyz306903 nobody says that.

Physical is best because it's cheaper and I can resell it.

Yeah I want to play 16 bit titles on my half-a-grand 4K 60fps console. This is exactly it. How did you know?

Come on, man.

Bread makes you fat?

The difference in reaction to PS6 and Helix, is that the new Xbox is meant to have those storefronts. This generation has been carried by third party games and Sony still refuses to do any sort of adequate backwards compatibility program. So I'll take 5 generations of Xbox games, plus everything on Steam, Epic etc, and Sony can keep Godess of War, Bald Space Woman Adventures, Mrs Astrobot, all 25 live services, etc.

So we'll get the "here's why it's a success actually" article before a review? Nice.

Awesome game from a series that's been consistently great. Well deserved. And it's nice to see an actual success story on here rather than "but it's got 80k concurrent players on steam dB" damage controls.

£15 cheaper and a sweet lenticular cover.

I hope for less walking and talking and more dismemberment and tits. Or are we all serious artistic grown ups who dont do that kinda thing now?

One word. Eight letters. Ugh ugh. Blowhole

Just don't go to Netflix. Or Amazon.

Okay. Not everything has to go on forever.

KCD2 in there a full year after release. Love to see it.

I mean... there's gonna be massive cuts to Bungie anyway when Marathon inevitably flops.

A previous ride on the Remedy chain of influence got me to reading House of Leaves.

And that was b*llocks.

Can't go wrong with a bit of NGE tho.

@Uromastryx hopefully they know it's a different audience. The Stellar Blade team figured it out so....

Nice. Shows a confidence in their design and a curated experience. Also no micro transactions and launching at £54.99....what?

Does anyone else really like it when an upgraded version gets a new trophy list? Ain't popped some of these suckers in almost 8 years.

Hmmm. Maybe. Cant help feeling this is the kind of thing that should be straight onto PS Plus.

That next-gen Xbox is sounding more and more enticing.

Who's playing Cuno?

@get2sammyb I think people have a right to express dissatisfaction. You buy a PS5 for games like Horizon FW, and they give you a live service whatever with the next Horizon proper put back however many years. It's not okay. They need to finish what they start, not bait and switch. If I don't want Italian food. I wouldn't go to an Italian restaurant l.

Why? Take the hundred million dollars you're about to spend and invest it in the next actual Baldur's Gate game instead of fan fiction in an inferior format.

They still announce these shows like gamers should be honoured that the sacred realm of TV is somehow validating the things they like. Pffft.

Last of Us was good.... if you didn't play the games which were superior in every way. (Part 1 anyway)

@Greifchen gotta be ironic with that profile pic, right? 😂

If this had a campaign from the makers of Titanfall 2, I would've bought the heck out of it.... A connection that's been scrubbed from the steam store pages for some reason 🧐

KCD1 was definitely held back by PS4 hardware. . . I remember constantly riding into a textureless Rattay and fields full of flowers only popping in about 10 yards in front of Henry . . . So this will be a nice and much-needed update. Some little convenience features from the sequel (outfit loadouts, weapon switching) would be an amazing bonus.

This trailer actually lessened my interest. Main character seems insufferable, and that dialogue with bandit Father Gascoine.... Ouch. One to try on PS Plus down the line.

Another year? Wow. What kind of half-arsed guff were they going to release? Hopefully any interesting parts still remaining can be identified by focus groups and sawed off before 2027.

I just wanna do the wrestling moves. RKO out of nowhere on an orc.

I fell off it part way through the second act. Not a bad effort. Really strong writing and an interesting world but very very unpolished. I bet in 5 years time we'll all be talking about whatever this studio does next though.

Replayed the OG a few months back on PS Plus. Still a survival horror great. Bring on the remake. Hopefully they don't cut too much and keep the Ashford siblings just as delightfully mental.

Ashford.... Ashcroft.... Hmmm.

Looks great. As for her not being a good enough actress . . . it's Lara Croft, not Lady MacBeth.

Why we on about Dustborn?
When someone says 'Bethesda game' you know they don't mean Doom.

Also I really like Detroit and revisit every few years. A bit sad their next project is Star Wars tbh.

Hopefully they continue to team up with talented creatives like Ryukishi07, because the story and psychological aspect is more important than the gameplay for this series. That's hard to do and not just end up with an inferior version of SH2. I think F did this really well.
