Seems like some reviewers are hesitant to smack a 6 or 7 on this one even though that's what it sounds like it really is based on what I have read so far.
Also what AAA online multi-platform game doesn't have cross-play in 2025? That's worth a point deduction by itself.
And WB/NRS just announced the "Definitive Edition" of Mortal Kombat 1 which essentially means support is over and they're on to the next project.
WarnerBros is becoming the worst...like how do you mess up a concept as great as Multiversus? A free to play Smashlike with WB characters...and it's dead.
Now MK1 is dead.
This Suicide Squad game...im assuming is dead too.
Not really. I guess I'm just getting old/jaded but based on what we have seen it just doesn't have the charm the PS2 games had.
I'm sure that's probably nostalgia talking but it's how I feel. GTA4 felt that way, and 5 was a little better but still didn't really capture that Vice City/San Andreas charm.
They were kinda cheesy, and had a goofiness to them that I just don't see here. Plus the satire was hilarious, 4 and 5 didn't really make me laugh like Vice City/San Andreas.
I just don't care anymore. Nothing after San Andreas really hit the same for me anyway. I'll grab the PS6 or PS7 version when it's on sale one day when I have nothing better to do.
I definitely think the game will benefit a ton from a mode like this. There's already plenty to do but if you're someone who's played through the entire campaign and done all of the pve missions on multiple difficulties this seems like a great reason to boot the game up again if you just love the gameplay loop of SM2.
I miss shadow drops and Oblivion Remaster was a great one. Idk why it's Bethesda's problem that their game shadow dropping might overshadow other game(s).
I've been a firm believer of this game since launch. It definitely had issues but I always knew that if the devs stuck with it and kept updating/improving it the game really had the potential to be the best Non-Fromsoftware Soulslike on the market...and I think with this update it's finally reached that potential.
If you genuinely love Demon's Souls/Dark Souls, you gotta try this game. It's essentially a Dark Souls game with a Soul Reaver mechanic where you can explore in two overlapping worlds that are like different dimensions. It's sick.
So why $80 base games? Surely only games utilizing the current/best hardware should cost so much, right?
Sounds like BS. Nothing they showed looked graphically close to Demon's Souls Remake yet they want to charge $80 for their new Mario Kart...which is costs more than the DS Remake which goes for $69.99 at full price.
As someone who has been playing T8 as his main fighting game for the past year...I'll be putting it to the side for the foreseeable future.
They literally acknowledged offense was already really strong and said for Season 2 they wanted to offer more options for defensive play...the patch drops and they doubled down on high damage offense with safe and/or plus on block strings/stances that also can lead into 50/50 mix ups....
Like what? They said one thing and literally did the opposite. Mister "Don't ask me for s***" should spend less time blocking people on twitter who criticize Anna's new hairstyle maybe actually pay attention to what the fans have been trying to tell him for the past year.
Idk I guess just don't see why it matters. You don't get anything for getting a Platinum trophy anyway.
Well we used to, but not anymore. On PS4 Sony would email you a code for a cook exclusive theme if you got the Platinum for Bloodborne or Horizon Zero Dawn but that's a thing of the past lol
Believing in rumors aside...you have to admit this is extremely underwhelming.
I've been a GoW fan since the PS2 like a lot of others but the fact of the matter is I've moved on from Ragnarok. That game came out in 2022, a color swapped skin really isn't going to bring me back. Great game, but I've got everything I can out of it a long time ago lol
Except Capcom decided to broaden their target audience after their extremely rough late 2000s/early 2010s run and now they're the most successful they have ever been.
Not interested in Forza but there are a few Xbox games I'd like to get ports such as Killer Instinct and Gears Of War...but I definitely don't expect physical copies.
I think for the time being we should just be happy we're getting ports of these previously exclusive games at all lol
It was terrible. None of the new announcements actually looked like fun to play video games.
And 2026 games already? We're two months into 2025 I don't want to hear crap about 2026 yet.
Seriously id give that State Of Play a 2/10. Genuinely full of stuff that didn't look remotely fun to play. Not one new reveal gave me a "I can't wait for that!" feeling.

Re: Yep, PlayStation's PC Games Will Be Playable on Xbox's New Handheld System
For someone that doesn't know anything about these handhelds...what reason would there be for me to purchase this over a Steam deck?
I'm genuinely curious
Re: You Can Play Gears of War for the First Time Ever on PS5 This Weekend
They want me to essentially pay them the full game price upfront to beta test their game?
No thanks. Same with that Tony Hawk 3/4 Remake....they were like "Demo out today!!!!"
...Yeah, apparently if you pre-purchase the game lol
Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France
I legitimately didn't even know it launched lol
Re: Standalone Sequel Mortal Shell 2 Brings Adrenaline Charged Combat to PS5
This was my favorite reveal during the whole show. It looks fantastic 🔥
Re: No, Nioh 3 Isn't Open World, Despite Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin Experiment
Good. I didn't like when FromSoftware went open world with the Souls formula and I wouldn't have liked it here either.
Glad to see they're aware of what makes Nioh what it is.
Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Rips the Spine Out of PS5, PS4 This Year
UMK3 netcode with rollback netcode
Almost makes me want to shed a tear of joy lol
Re: Rumour: Greek God of War Game Is a 2.5D Metroidvania
Yes. I want this 💯.
GoW could make for a sick Metroidvania although ill admit it'd be cooler if it was pixel/sprite based

Re: Not Everyone Loved Oblivion Remastered's Shadow Drop
Boo hoo?
I miss shadow drops and Oblivion Remaster was a great one. Idk why it's Bethesda's problem that their game shadow dropping might overshadow other game(s).
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Oblivion Remastered?
Yeah I started it yesterday and it's awesome so far. I never played the original but I did play some Skyrim.
The 3rd Person mode in Oblivion Remastered is so damn good.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets PS5 Release Date, Trailer, Pre-Order Details
I'm probably gonna bite at launch because I enjoyed Tsushima so much but wtf is this...
" The physical Collector's Edition contains:
All Digital Deluxe Edition contents (the game itself is a digital copy) "
It completely defeats the purpose of me buying the physical copy if the game itself is just a code I redeem on PSN 🤦♂️
Re: Official Oblivion Remastered Announcement Coming Tomorrow
Sick
I've never played it before and am looking for a new game to get lost in. Sounds like just what I need lol
Re: Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves (PS5) - A Fiery Return That REVs in the Right Places
I was initially excited for this but after learning it's a glorified ad for Saudi Arabia and their sportswashing im opting to sit this one out.

Re: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Cleaves Another Meaty Update on PS5
This is probably my favorite game in recent memory. I just keep coming back and manage to have a good time everytime.
I would love to see more games like this. It kinda reminds me of a modern PS3/360 game and I mean that as a big compliment.
It's just a fun video game lol
Re: PS Plus Price Increases Confirmed for 15 Countries by Sony
So dumb when 90% of players only get the standard subscription because you literally have to in order to play most games online.
Remember when PS3 had free online? Good times. Thanks Xbox🙄

Re: As If Ronaldo Wasn't Enough, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Adds Real-Life DJ to Roster
I'm officially skipping this one lol
I was hoping itd be my new main fighter since I'm not exactly happy with the states of the current big 3 fighting games but yikes.
Virtua Fighter 6 can't come soon enough lol

Re: There's Real Concern Over Tekken 8's Season 2 Overhaul as Players Nervously Await Patch Notes
@nomither6 : Drive Rush made me drop the game. I'm enjoying T8 much more than SF6 tbh.
Re: No Platinum Trophy in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster's Meagre PS5 Trophy List
Oh no!
Anyway...
Idk I guess just don't see why it matters. You don't get anything for getting a Platinum trophy anyway.

Re: The First Berserker: Khazan (PS5) - A Fast-Paced Action RPG Held Back by Its Own Bloat
Nioh/Nioh 2 had the same annoying loot system. Probably the only thing I didn't care for in those games.
I was looking forward to this one, but idk if I feel like dropping $69 for what seems to essentially be another Nioh game but in the DnF universe.
Re: Xbox Has 'a Lot More' PS5 Ports to Come in 2025
Can you please give ya boy Killer Instinct? That's all I want.
....and maybe Rare Replay lol
Re: Tekken 8 Set to Make Baffling System Change in Season 2, Fans Lose Their Minds
Yeah taking chip for literally reacting and getting the right throw break is an idiotic design choice.
And I'm sure Harada will start blocking people on Twitter who don't like it just like he did with people not liking Anna's hair.
Still hasn't acknowledged the massive cabal of cheaters selling scripts on discord though 🙄

Definitely grabbing this one. Loved the Croc games when I was a kid lol
Re: Just Six Months After Space Marine 2's Launch, Space Marine 3 Has Been Announced
Day one buy after Space Marine 2. Probably my favorite game of 2024 tbh.
Re: PS5 Fans Are Desperate for a Physical Version of Xbox Game Forza Horizon 5

Re: Acclaimed Castlevania, Metroid Dev Reveals Blades of Fire for PS5
Looks pretty neat. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Looks Like a Modern Day Mega Drive Game for PS5, PS4
I'm not even a Terminator fan but this looks awesome. Reminds me of this Alien game I had on the Sega Genesis as a kid lol
Iirc it was technically called Alien³ lol
Re: Xbox Wants Its Games to 'Reach the Broadest Audience Possible' as It Plots More Long-Standing, Flagship Franchises for PS5

Re: Tekken 8 Boss Katsuhiro Harada Schools Fan Over 'Disrespectful' Response to Anna PS5 DLC
Idgaf about Anna or how she looks
But why in 2025 are they still doing the "mystery character pass" garbage?
Tell us who the other four characters are before asking us to drop money on it.
Damn I hope SNK fixes the new Fatal Fury before launch. I'm so over Tekken 8 and SF6.
Re: Warner Bros. Games Closes Multiple Studios, Wonder Woman Cancelled
I really, really don't care for how WarnerBros has been handling their games recently.
Maybe they really should sell their gaming division because this is ridiculous
Re: Ghost of Yotei Dev Eager to Push Creatively and Technically with Anticipated PS5 Sequel
@Frmknst So make it tedious and less fun?
Id probably pass on Ghost 2 if that's the direction they went.
Re: Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Open Beta Is Ready to Throw Down on PS5, PS4
So far pretty fun.
I just hope in the full release we can search for online matches while in training mode.
Re: Street Fighter's Ken, Chun-Li Join Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves This Year as PS5, PS4 DLC
@MrPeanutbutterz I can even live with that, but Drive Rush is such a dominant mechanic in the meta and I hate it lol
Fortunately this game doesn't have a universal mechanic that functions like DR so im excited lol
Re: Street Fighter's Ken, Chun-Li Join Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves This Year as PS5, PS4 DLC
I can't wait to give this a try. I'm burntout of Drive Rush in SF6 so maybe this'll quench my 2D fighter thirst lol
Re: Reaction: The PS5 Discourse Around State of Plays Is Becoming Draining
I'm sorry but it was just bad. I didn't go into it actually expecting Bloodborne, GTA6 or a Halo Collection reveal.
I just wanted to see something that hadn't been announced yet, that looked fun to play and isn't a year away from coming out.
The last State Of Play did not deliver that. Tides Of Annihilation was the only thing that interested me and even that didn't exactly blow me away.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for February 2025?
It was terrible. None of the new announcements actually looked like fun to play video games.
And 2026 games already? We're two months into 2025 I don't want to hear crap about 2026 yet.
Seriously id give that State Of Play a 2/10. Genuinely full of stuff that didn't look remotely fun to play. Not one new reveal gave me a "I can't wait for that!" feeling.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War to Make PS5 Debut with Full Crossplay in Trilogy Collection

Re: Rumour: Xbox's Fable, Killer Instinct, More to Join Forza Horizon 5 on PS5
Killer Instinct!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I might shed tears of joy. Holy f***.
