Dunno why people would prefer to call.it Expedition 33 when there is a nicer catchy name like CLAIRRR OBSCURRR!

I watched gameplay vids of this and Clair Obscur, felt like Oblivion was more my style - y'know, the whole open world, going to inns to rent rooms, immersion, graphics look really good but the whole moonwalking of characters and same combat animations...meh... wasn't really feeling the excessive running animations in Clair Obscur too but someday I'll pick them up probably.

Never checked for this game but I always liked the name : Clair Obscur. Good thing it's a great game to match a great name.

Now I'm wondering for the folks with a tight a budget who bought Oblivion on a whim yesterday. 😁

Fishy they didn't get it to reviewers ahead of time.

Still, Baldur's Gate 3. Game is just soooo good! Not seen such memorable cast since RDR2.

With some experience from DoS2, I've been able to move pretty fast in BG3 compared to the former. DoS2 was more punishing and the inconsistent art direction didn't push me to keep going, one time it looks nice, other times not so nice. BG3 on the other hand looks so sweet I know I'm going to play it to the end. Simply one of the best RPGs I've ever played, such memorable characters in an RPG I've seen in a long time!

@DexTepa 😂😂 They really require patience and tactics these Larian games, but so far I find BG3 manageable, DOS2 is worse.

Just had a feeling things weren't going to change that much, prices were either going to get worse, stay the same or reduce insignificantly. So I stopped waiting and got me the disc-PS5 fresh off the boat, I barely use the drive even, since most of my games are digital.

Me oh my, oh my oh me...still on the game that barely allows you to play other games - Baldur's Gate 3. Will try to sneak in a bit of Horizon Forbidden West though. And oh, Karlach is a masterpiece.

Baldur's Gate 3 is monumental! A game that has me exclaiming wow awe and all that in a long time.

@AhmadSumadi I also am yet to beat Ragnarok, I got it in December '24. I don't know what exactly it is with GoW but it just fails to hold your attention for the longest time.

@themightyant Hmph. Zelda's had different art styles over the years. Well, I haven't had the time to download Honkai but I played a lot of Genshin, however the constant updates put me off.

@get2sammyb Never even heard that one, checked it out, yeah that looks a bit different.

I wish these gacha games would have different art styles, they all look the same.

Don't remember the last time I bought PS Plus. Can't even have enough time for all the games I bought let alone Multiplayer or monthly free games that are just going to keep piling up in the backlog heavier than the fog in crookback bog!

But why can't the characters - or at least the protag - change attire in these games like every other RPGs or open worlds...Your guy wore the same damn skin tights and checkered shirt the entire Metaphor Refantazio!

Thought I could play other games but Baldur's Gate 3 hardly let's you. The graphics is just so sweet looking first off. This feels like the truest RPG in a long time. Oh and Astarion is such a memorable character, makes me laugh all the time when he simply opens his mouth, no wonder the voice actor won the award at TGA. This all I can type, in a hurry to get back to it. What a game!

Y'all keep changing your tune, I thought y'all co-signed a Pro in these generations of diminishing returns and called anyone who didn't co-sign a jealous bitter hater. On the real though, ambitious devs like Rockstar, Naughty Dog would always need more power not just for graphics but power for more realistic and immersive gameplay. Everyone can't be making Mario Kart and Zelda.

This is Nintendo64 all over again with those prices.

@RoomWithaMoose it's more of people using the money they could've used for say GoT or other games for GTA6 instead. Not many people buy multiple games close to each other because of financial or time constraints. You could afford all of them but do you have the time to dedicate fully to a particular game...Plus there's no denying GTA6 would easily take shine off your game in the same window, these guys - the publishers - know what they're about.

@OmegaStriver Not confident? Heh this the same approach they used with RDR2 and look how that turned out.

Baldur's Gate 3 - still deciding which origin character to play. Wish DOS2 had half the graphics this has, amazing! I'm in for a good time. If I have little time to switch - it'd be a bit of HFW, CP2077 or ER.

@ztpayne7 Nah, had no problem with P5, beat it twice. Never had any problem with Metaphor bosses till this final guy's fackin second phase. I also have the Bloodborne plat, could easily get Elden Ring's plat but don't wanna rush it. Sekiro tho... that's a problem, still haven't beaten it, met Sword Saint and my PS4 Saves all got corrupted, I'm on him 2nd time, he's Isshin now.

Hey Goto, I think your final boss in Metaphor is too much of a cheat it's more possible to beat the hardest boss in a Souls game than this guy.

"including high-end PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the next-generation of consoles”.

If ever you were looking for proof of crossgen being here to stay.

@Herculean GTAV has first person btw. I'm fine with CP2077 being 1st but would've been cool to have 3rd too so we can see our V's attire. Personally no game is as immersive as Rockstar's games though.

I mean it's the only game that's close to scratching that GTAVI itch. My V bought a Quadra yesterday feels so good.

Lol that KCD2 price is funny. And Baldur's Gate 3 is still a bit expensive from 2023, considering MH Wilds at full price instead...confused...

I always said Xbox were playing at something bringing their games to PS. So in the long run PS would look petty keeping their games semi exclusive. It all started with the PC ports, now it would look odd blocking PS studios games on the PC-like NextBox.

Masterpiece. The atmosphere, the fashion, the weapons, the overall art! I remember first time playing, being stuck at the beginning and my bro was like why would I go and buy this suffering for myself. I persevered cause I knew there was something special in there, it wasn't like all the other games I'd played. Slow but sure, the little progress I made, every step was deeply satisfying. Father Gascoigne almost made me give up but after him it was smooth sailing - beat Vicar Amelia first try, beat the game twice and went on to platinum. Sold it at the time cause I thought I was done with it, bought it again in 2023 -double dipped - cause this masterpiece never gets old.

I said I was just going to test the quality picture and ray tracing on Elden Ring for a moment but oooooohh 5hrs later I've already gone to Stormveil and beaten Margit for the 4th time, it looks even more gorgeous. HFW is just one of the best games ever made and at 60fps is a dream. Will continue CP2077 and Metro Exodus.as well.

I mean people are gearing up for almighty GTA6 and there's been surprise hits like KCD2, the great MHWilds and more incoming.

Back on Cyberpunk2077, this time on PS5, it's a whole new game. So many people in the streets, cars etc. I've been taking the skytrain or whatever, so immersive seeing others riding on them. People of night city are one of the best in gaming history with their sense of style, so unique. Plus one of the best looking games ever - Metro Exodus on a whole new enhanced level, I miss the whole crew and the Colonel 😆.

@Porco Pretty sure he's being sarcastic unless...

I always wanted GT to have a Horizon type game but alas can't spend full price on racing games, will buy it one day hopefully.

@nessisonett I also used to be disappointed in people who drove automatic transmission cars and not manual so...like the "I don't use Ashes/any help" crowd of the Elden Ring/Souls community. Tsk it's just one of those things.

No one:
Sekiro: £29.99/$29.99

Stuck on Metaphor's final boss almost like being stuck on Erdtree's Consort but at least I finally beat him and BAYLE!!. Oh yeah there's Isshin of Sekiro to beat too faaaaccckk...So I'm just going to chill and roam in RDR2, GoWR & HFW

Some people used money saved for MHWilds to buy KCD2 on a whim because of the out of nowhere hype, so the latter is definitely going to lead on this site.

What did I just read...😂. How's a new design a way of "getting back at Anna fans"...

There's going to be the inevitable extra hard "massive expansion" in a year or two.

Xbox just needs your games PlayStation. Can't you see all the love they showing 😆. If you can beat'em you join'em and try to beat them from the inside. 😂

@ZeD Aw yeah that feeling... thinking how you're gonna make it past the giant troll at the top and make progress...with some almost hopeless sound playing in the back...you wish you could ask the merchant Kalè in the Church of Elleh for help but he doesn't know what you're up to...you're all alone. It's all part of the charm that makes Elden Ring so memorable.

Still Metaphor Refantazio, thought they said it was shorter than P5, looks far longer. Plus tarrying in the legendary RDRII.

Btw wooww PSN down brought all the PushSquare lurkers out the woodwork.

Is that the one with Jean Reno...game was so grainy couldn't bother finishing it. Felt like a good game though.

@Kidfunkadelic83 😂 It's just so ridiculous, newer games like ER have dropped lower, yet I dunno what Activision really want with Sekiro...I waited years for it to drop from that £29.99 but gave up and got it in 2022. It's 2025 and it still won't budge.

Sekiro will still parry these sales at a speed of 29.99.

Only way you can outsell PS is selling something like a Series X at a Series S price and take all the losses and never expect any profits in the short run else PS is so far gone!

After quite a break, properly back on Metaphor Refantazio to finish off the last palace, spent bout the whole week tryna defeat an impossible sidequest Devourer of Flames Dragon in a tower, the difficulty reminded me of Evrae back in the day in FFX. Still having fun in the dungeons of the timeless Bloodborne. Roaming around the Shadow of the Erdtree after defeating the Consort to see if something's changed. Plus will keep exploring realms in GoW Ragnarök. And of course I'll just chill in the legendary RDRII to see if I can solve some mysteries on my own - no internet help.

Made time to finally beat that Consort in Shadow of the Erdtree. What an epic battle with great sound to match, my bro who hasn't played games in a while was amazed by the Consort's incredible moveset. Elden Ring will be spoken of for years to come. Next, I'll focus on beating Metaphor, meanwhile just want to hangout in BB's The Old Hunters for a while.

I can understand if Miyazaki doesn't want anyone touching it. Nothing worse than someone remaking your masterpiece and newcomers praising the Remake and calling the original bad.

No matter what, Sekiro ain't breaking its posture at £29.99.
