@GeeEssEff I've been sober since FIFA 17, jumped back in with FIFA 20, realised nothing has really changed, never bought again.

Nice to see MH Wilds make top 3. Sweet graphics and even sweeter animations. Can't stop playing. MH is just so much fun.

@Kairuuu I wonder...

Bloodborne is still fine as is. I played it 2 days ago. Maybe they feel like they want to be careful touching this masterpiece before we have comments like "it doesn't have the same atmosphere as the original."

@nomither6 😂 With consoles being cross-gen these days, how about I pretend they are PCs and upgrade to the next console when I feel like, isn't it the same...I mean that's why this Steam Machine is being released to start with. It's easy for Devs to optimise for a fixed system rather than a wide range of different specs. Plus Rockstar is never releasing on PC first. 😆

@Rich33 "the vast majority of normal people who play really low powered PCs"

Exactly the people I'm talking about, I mean they still act like they're a part of the PCMR, not confusing anything here.

@EfYI Yeah I read that also - that this machine which is less powerful than a PS5 is more powerful than 70% of PCs using Steam. The so called Master Race have been exposed, they hide behind the "my PC is more powerful than a console" when really they might still be running hardware equivalent to a PS3.

@BecauseBecause
KCD2 - $40M
E33 - Less than $30M
Mafia Old Country - between $50M to $80M

Of course it'd cost more if they want to go a level close to GTA but then again KCD2 has one of the most immersive open worlds in video game history with a lot of content. E33 with that budget still managed a semi open world and broke a nominations record.

@StitchJones And after all the linear linear reinvention noise they couldn't even get to the likes of Uncharted/TLOU rating or even a TGA nomination. They only managed 73 on MC, what's the difference between this and Mafia 3's 68. I still play the Trilogy, expected them to keep improving on their open world instead they took this turn. No wonder they couldn't even name it Mafia 4, plus they priced it low, they weren't sure about the decision and were just testing the waters.

@BecauseBecause No, didn't bother, they just annoyed me with the whole linear thing. That free roam thing in the remake feels quite aimless, you don't see the point - of those phone booth missions. Could've integrated it in the main campaign as side missions. They're the only ones eager to tell a serious story so no side missions to distract, when Geralt has been playing Gwent instead of saving Ciri but still managed to win goty. Arthur leaves Micah to rot in jail while busy hunting and crafting at the trapper but still managed to be the 4th highest selling game ever. Yeah all these open worlds have no urgent story to tell according to Hangar13.

When playing other games and feeling sleepy, I just start a FromSoft game and then I'm wide awake.

Free roam to do what exactly...stick to your linear.

Nobody beating Crack in the Slab & Clockwork Mansion from Dishonored 2.

@Fishmasterflex96 Lol I haven't even played Yotei, pointing it out to people who don't get why it's not up for goty.

The GOTY nominees are all winners. People wondering about Yotei not being there, TGA takes Metacritic seriously if you haven't noticed, no game on that list is below 88. If anything they'd have to include MHWilds or Split Fiction, it's tough this year. Reason why Erdtree was controversially nominated GOTY last year with that 94 score.

MH Wilds' animations is just crazy, can't stop repeating this. After playing exclusively for 40hrs, I can now pause a bit and continue the immersively superb KCD2, the lovely CP2077 - which we forget is a taste of GTA6. Might even go back to MHW Iceborne, still haven't met a lot of monsters.

Most immersive game since RDR2. Attire staying battered and bloody after a fight, you'd think it'd fix itself by reloading a save, no! You gotta go wash them clothes and sew it up. If you don't have that patience you'd say it isn't for you but naah any game can be for anyone if you try.

People don't see it but I think Backwards Compatibility plays a huge part too. With digital sales rising you don't expect me to abandon all my PS4 games have accrued over the years and buy an Xbox. It's the same PS4 owners buying PS5s. Plus what @Max_the_German said too, there really hasn't been any competition since Xbox 360, and that's why they're not even reducing the price after almost 5 years.

@Oram77 was wondering too...

Of course the word MASSIVE officially belongs to MH now. Will be looking forward to this, hard to put the game down.

@AhmadSumadi "Also, nostalgia can be the killer of acceptance and creativity. Too often, consumers are stuck with liking “the old one” so much that they’re not willing to give the new one a fair chance. This occurs across all media. Comics, movies, games, etc."

Perfectly said.

The old one is better than the new one narrative is getting tiring!

Watched some gameplay vids and yes it looked spectacular. Looked like TLOU2 multiplayer that never happened.

@Max_the_German I don't know where that RDR2 article went, weird!

@DennisReynolds 😄 I know, was talking about how that lighting and ambient occlusion give off a similar look.

Posterity judged this one. I see people in comments across the internet now wondering how GoW won goty over this in 2018. GoW is lovely but when all was said and done I'm still seeing memes and chatter about RDR2 7 years on.

@DennisReynolds it looks like it has its own kind of RT already, another thing that made this game so ahead.

If they maintained all the systems from previous Fallouts and made no changes...
Same gamers : "it's just a reskin."

@Jrs1 brace yourself. A game which its new installment hasn't released in a decade and you expect it doesn't get talked about...

They have Starfield out, take what you have available now.

I mean the Grammys always seem out of touch when it comes to a lot of genres.

The best action game this year is Monster Hunter Wilds. No game captures battle with monsters this outstanding. I mean we know MH's gameplay is one of its selling points but surprised they've been able to increase it further especially in the way of animations. The animations coupled with the graphics is incredible. I think the gatherings by your palico/handler and your Seikret following scoutflies is actually believable and realistic. I don't think I can make too much time for other games, MH Wilds is just too good!

@Elfuggingjefe Same, still not moved by these superhero in a fancy costume games. Still haven't played Spiderman, hopefully I get to try it one day at a low price - which doesn't seem to be happening - so I get other games instead. All I saw in this Wolverine trailer was gore, gore and more gore, nothing that hasn't been done by GoW already.

Always sad to hear these things. Hoping R* reinstates them.

I don't know why some people think PS6 launch title...they love it when we double or triple dip, it's going to be on PS5 through to PS7.

I suspected this when the RDR2 PS5 version kept popping up.

Sometimes when companies have names that sound like it was thought up in 2 seconds they become some of the greatest. Naughty Dog, Rockstar, FromSoftware. Cheers to ND! A modern Jak & Daxter would be great!

And make sure you have at least 113GB of space!

Just bought Monster Hunter Wilds. Sorry Clairrr and KCD2 had to come first but I'm back MonHun.

Yep, move on, don't be stuck in someone else's IP shadow.

@FatalBubbles Yep Dark Souls 3 also seems to be stuck at £22 and i think FFXII Zodiac Age is also stuck at 19.99, it's just so annoying. I bought Sekiro a long time though, great game!

@JustMyOpinion No matter how big the sale is, Sekiro from 2019 says hesitation is defeat so buy it at 29.99 no matter what.

Yep one of the greatest games ever made!

@nomither6 so it means you're missing this, TW3, KCD2, Skyrim etc...wow just wow!

He said a lot of things in that interview, like how RDR2 was a pain to make. I wonder why he left R* though...maybe as brothers they want to see if they can build a 2nd successful company alongside R*...

@Rich33 Yep the slim and pro look so sleek compared to the fat.

@nomither6 naah this bout the first time the slim looks better than the fat, you can check YT videos of all three sude by side.

Bothering with this is like bothering with the power save feature.

Couldn't vote, it's hard for me. Clair Obscurrr is just so special - the art, music, whole unique vibe. And then there's KCDII - my kind of game, immersion done right since RDR2, can't choose. Haven't played MH Wilds yet, but I know it's gonna round up my top 3 this year. Quite sad it doesn't really get backed for GOTY because people know what it's about - like some sports game, justice for MH.

Waiting for the no games this gen comments when they actually mean: "No new games from Naughty Dog this gen." Evidently game development time has outrageously increased so maybe new console releases should slow down too.

@PuppetMaster fair enough but get where he's coming from, yknow when you want people to try something and they outright refuse it leaves you quite sad don't it 😂. I for one like to keep an open mind about things cause games I thought I'd never like have ended up being some of my favourites of all time.

Would love to but time and backlog.

@get2sammyb has a point. "I will never play" sounds like depriving yourself cause it's popular than it not being your kind of game - could've ignored the entire article.

Back on Metro Exodus, this native PS5 version is just one of best looking games ever created, crazy! KCD2, another good looking Deep Silver classic, plus some KCD1 as well. CP2077, Deathloop, ACValhalla, probably a bit of RDR2, MHRise...hmph hard to focus on one game these days. Got the credits rolling for MH Iceborne, now to find more monsters I haven't met yet, but what's with the dog-like monsters always at the end.

That's the main reason I dropped online gaming. I used to play a lot on PS3 when it was free.

Nah PushSquare is actually the competition for users on here. Because instead of playing games we're here always chatting and chatting. I mean that's about how it sounds if we call TikTok a competition. Football, TV Series, hanging out, Facebook they've all been taking game time since the dawn of time. If you really like games you'd make time for it regardless. And oh how about Jobs and School, those are the real competitors lol jk I know they aren't entertainment. Xbox have just lost it and ashamed to admit defeat to PS, so yeah let's blame something else.
