I was thinking about how like... Bioware passed the western RPG baton to Bathesda and then fell off. Then I think CDPR picked it up as Bethesda declined. And now maybe it belongs to Larian.
Release Quantum Break on Ps. Been craving more Remedy goodness since the masterpiece that was Alan Wake 2. The only one of their games I haven't played. (Okay, apart from Death Rally).
Part 2 proved the man is a brave storyteller, not afraid to make you feel uncomfortable, repulsed or even angry and frustrated. Personally, I'm looking forward to whatever he does next. Though I do hope he stays in videogames.
"The biggest thing working against Ubisoft's latest is seemingly players' preconceived notions" Disagree. This game is exactly what we think it is and not what we wanted. And hell yes I've been playing Black Flag again.
@NinjaNicky you think they don't know how popular it is? After all the accolades and 30+ million sales? It's more that they have misunderstood 'why' it is popular.
No thanks. The episode was fine, but added nothing to the story and was only inserted to attract awards attention, not having the cajones to depict the characters relationship as it was implied to have unfolded in the game. Ironically, they pussied out.
@roylaza general survey I'm doing.... Does backlog mean that you bought it and are yet to play it? Or that you didn't buy it and just decided you would play it at some point? Thank you, hope you enjoy it.
@LifeGirl I still disagree. Cyberpunk was never a terrible game, just one that launched with severe technical issues on underpowered hardware. That was the mistake, and a very bad move by the company. But it was an experience people wanted (great marketing, keanu reeves, still not luck) that CDPR eventually delivered over literal years of refinement.
Ishin broke the Yakuza spell for me. First one I didn't finish. Think it felt like a massive step back after the continual upward trajectory of the series. Still, glad it finally got released over here and people got to enjoy it.

Re: The Witcher's Ciri Says She Hopes Fans Give Liam Hemsworth a Chance as Geralt
Trash since series 2. Respect to Cavell for walking away from what was probably a very nice payday.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Dev Thanks Fans for 'Passion' Following Censorship Controversy
Lure them in with titties, take away some of the titties, keep em hungry for titties. Consecutive storms in DD cups. Much reporting. Marketing genius.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 9 Reveal and Release Imminent, Out in January
@Specky so hyped you never played them.
Re: Rise of the Ronin PS5 Sales Beating the Nioh Series
@DennisReynolds yeah it's that philosophy you adopted in season 15 to bang zoomer chicks.
Edit: Was joking Dennis. Some of my favourite games get blasted by the anti-woke types.

Re: Random: I Met My Favourite Korean Cheerleader Because of Eve and Stellar Blade
The only British baseball fan.... and the only one with a favourite Korean cheerleader. Haha. Nice.
Re: Microsoft 'Meeting Players Where They Are' as Xbox Games Among PS Store's Bestsellers

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Deluxe Edition Is Back in Stock
How about a version without all the tat for the same price but much lower shipping cost?
Re: Excellent PS5 Game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Now Part of EA Play
I will glady play this for £5.99. Nice.
Re: Ubisoft Responds to Star Wars Outlaws Exclusive Jabba the Hutt Boondoggle
@Phelaidar so the price of a normal brand new game then.
Re: Job Listing Confirms EA's Black Panther Game Is Open World
@Ryu_Niiyama nah, King T'Challa all the way, baby.
Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Out 25th April with New Modes and Content
Will the version on ps plus extra version be updated too?
Re: Star Wars Outlaws to Feature Emilia Clarke's Solo Character, Lady Qi'ra
She's too pretty to be in a video game.
Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5
I'd be down for some of the lesser k own ones from last gen. Quantum Break or Ryse Son of Rome.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Rise of the Ronin Has a Surprisingly Strong Second Week, Dragon's Dogma 2 Drops Off
@MikeOrator like Valhalla with a soul.
Re: Random: Lara Croft Tops Mario as the Most Iconic Video Game Character of All Time, Apparently
Maybe in 1996...
Re: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Also a Day One PS Plus Extra Game, Out 23rd April
It's the one made by the chap who voiced Bayek, right?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin?
8/10 for the combat flow. The world is kinda cozy too. Going about petting some cats, snapping some pictures... then behead some fools.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for April 2024 Announced
Down to try Immortals. Now Dead Island 2 on extra please Sony.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Off to a Weak Start at Retail
I think word of mouth will bolster Ronin a bit over time. Players seem to really like it more than critics did.
Re: Xbox Planning to Release the 'Majority' of Its Exclusives on PS5
Keep Starfield. Gimme Quantum Break.

Re: Gallery: Stunning Ukiyo-e Rise of the Ronin Mural Unveiled to Commemorate PS5 Release

Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative
Will it play Alan Wake 2 quality mode at 60fps with no compromises? 🤔
Re: Rise of the Ronin PS5 Trophy List Points Towards a Lot of Open World Work
Bond transfer, technology research, fugitives.... Looks like there's a lot in there. Waiting for reviews.
Re: Warner Bros' Reaction to Suicide Squad Flop Will Make You Question Your Sanity
I don't want to live, work or build in a game. Idiot.
Re: Naughty Dog Boss Neil Druckmann Doesn't Want to Make Games Forever

Re: Skull and Bones Release Triggers Spike in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Players
"The biggest thing working against Ubisoft's latest is seemingly players' preconceived notions" Disagree. This game is exactly what we think it is and not what we wanted. And hell yes I've been playing Black Flag again.
Re: Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (PS5) - Storytelling Great Has Gameplay to Match
Nice review. Really loved Vampyr and the developers have said this is something of a "spiritual successor".
Re: Capcom Currently Polling Player Interest for Sequels to Okami, Dino Crisis, More
Will I be the only one voting for a Shadow of Rome revival!? 😂
Re: Stellar Blade's Protagonist's Body Is Based on This Real-World Korean Model
It's admirable that Asian developers still strive to make attractive female characters in their games.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Persona 3 Reload?
On gamepass... Sometimes I get quite envious of our Xbox owning buddies.
Re: Pre-Orders for Promising PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Open Very Soon
Looks good. Fast combat, intersting lore, and - of course - jiggle physics.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Sells 6.48 Million Units to Become the Series' Fastest-Selling Game
After Seperate Ways I want a full Ada Wong game. Such a great character, (and the voice actor did a great job IMO).
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 Out Now on PS5, Includes Some Vehicle Customisation
Psalm 11:6 was my weapon of choice last playthrough. Contagion + Fire bullets = boom boom.
Re: Yes, Suicide Squad's PS5 Platinum Will Require You to Kill the Justice League
@NinjaNicky you think they don't know how popular it is? After all the accolades and 30+ million sales? It's more that they have misunderstood 'why' it is popular.
Re: Yes, Suicide Squad's PS5 Platinum Will Require You to Kill the Justice League
Am I wrong for genuinely hoping that this flops hard? And that results in a new proper Arkham game to recoup their rep?
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is Now In Active Development
Refine the onland controls and rip out 75% of the tailing missions and I'll get it from CEX a year after release. Thanks Ubi. Hail Hydra.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Breaks 14-Year Call of Duty, Rockstar Streak to Become USA's Best-Selling Game of 2023
The wider cultural implications are glorious. Good work, gamers.
Re: 14 Games on the Way to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Ship space hard breaker!!!! Yep that'll do me. ☺
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man's Mary-Jane Face Model Calls for an End to Unacceptable Behaviour
Harassment is always wrong, but on now seeing what she really looks like . . . damn, Insomniac did this (very beautiful) woman a disservice with SM2.
Re: Nick Offerman Wants to Make a Bill and Frank The Last of Us HBO Spin-Off
No thanks. The episode was fine, but added nothing to the story and was only inserted to attract awards attention, not having the cajones to depict the characters relationship as it was implied to have unfolded in the game. Ironically, they pussied out.
Re: Naughty Dog Details The Last of Us 2 Remastered Upgrade Path on PS5
@roylaza oh wow. Got a lot of awesome games to look forward to! Thanks for sharing ☺

Re: PS5's Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Doesn't Want You to Forget About Its February Release
This game has the same narrative director as Vampyr, that fact alone makes this a day one for me.

Re: Despite Circling Wolves, CD Projekt Red Not Interested in Being Acquired
@LifeGirl lucky? Nah, they worked hard and fixed it.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PS5, PS4 Is Pokémon As Well Now
So... Ichiman captures and imprisons people then forces them to fight for his own glory? Sold!
