TruestoryYep

@somnambulance Both GTA and Silksong are largely overhyped games.

Now that this is released, finally won't have to hear much more about it. Now just have to have GTA 6 to release and be gone so I don't have to see those "we got x before GTA6" brain rot memes.

Half Life fans meanwhile have waited one million years for HL3 but they've largely stayed sane and non-obnoxious.

@ApostateMage Sure and Monster Hunter Wilds runs fine and is totally a optimised game lol.

@seinfeldfanatic This is Pushsquare not Nintendolife lol.

I'll stick with the true Metroidvania of the year: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Hollow Knight has never interested me.

@Nepp67 Dragon's Dogma 2 was "Itsuno's vision" fully realised. He said that himself. So it failed because of that. He had full reign over the project and it failed to deliver. There's no truth about Capcom screwing him over.

Truth is, Itsuno is the Japanese Todd Howard. I still remember all that talk about amazing NPC AI, he was literally talking as if he had created self aware conscious AI and then the game released and the AI was basic stuff that was somehow worst than the AI in the first game from 2012.

If Capcom was screwing him over, there was no reason for him to overhype and lie about features.

This franchise should have been in its grave long ago and I'm surprised there's still a fanbase...or a fanbase for any Ubi game at this point.

@johnedwin And? GTA6 still won't beat Minecraft.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare That's anime style voice acting for you. That's what it sounds like to me. I shuddered too over this voice acting because it sounds so cringe.

@Nepp67 It sounds like anime voice acting to me. Very bad as usual, no idea why this is still a thing for English dubs. I'll play it in Japanese.

@rjejr These games have a completely different engine, artstyle and higher graphics than Elden Ring. ER doesn't use Unreal Engine 5.

@Scottyy None of them are Soulslikes apart from Wuchang.

It'll be another Dragon's Dogma 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds unoptimised mess. Calling it now.

@naruball Sony's releases for PS5 has been pretty barebones. Nintendo Switch 2 will have more exclusives by next year than PS5 has had in 5 years.

@lazarus11 Anime is garbage just like K Pop.

@Zeroo I personally couldn't care less for The Witcher 4. I remember playing 3 and the gameplay felt mid to me. This game seems more ambitious and if it delivers, I think it will be in a league of its own.

Already the gameplay looks better than anything I've ever seen from The Witcher devs.

Ending sequence with the stealth takedown....the enemy nearly turns around and then instantly resets back to facing away when the protagonist initiates the stealth kill. Lol

Cool story Shawn Layden, but what's PlayStation's excuse for having so few exclusives? What's up with all the remakes and remasters? Creativity seems to be something Sony is lacking even without doing day 1 releases on PS+.

And let's not get started on the live service failures or how Sony still seems intent on following that to the detriment of consumers and their own studios...

@Scottyy Is it the engine that's the problem or Capcom being bad at optimising their own engine?

Either way, this is two strikes for Capcom now: Dragon's Dogma 2 and Wilds. For now it seems they're back to their Crapcom era again especially since these two games have other issues asides from performance.

@cainhurst94 Delay suggests they're focusing on releasing it in a playable state. Never understood why people get angry over delays. If Monster Hunter Wilds was delayed and actually finished for release, people would still be playing it but looking on Steam, it seems everyone went back to Monster Hunter World.

@neillaw It's going to be one of those games that actually delivers for sure. And unlike GTA 6 or Death Stranding 2, it's got more than graphics going for it.

@Trippylobster You're the only one here making piss poor snidey arse posts defending a literally unmade game that is probably ten years away. Hopefully by the time it releases, you're more grown up.

@themightyant No, in terms of gameplay, seems like a straight rip off of Dark Souls lol.

@nomither6 Looks way better than Metal Gear Rising.

@Oram77 @J2theEzzo

After seeing the hour long footage of Ninja Gaiden 4 on YouTube with Ryu that was just released, it looks exactly like Ninja Gaiden with its fast paced and frantic action and so for me, it looks way better than Phantom Blade.

Phantom Blade looks good too but it seems far more action RPG orientated, enemies take longer to kill and the combos are automatic.

The UK government to 16 year olds:

"Your old enough to vote and have sex (age of consent in UK is 16 isn't it?) but not old enough to play GTA Online, use Spotify or view adult content."

Make it make sense lol.

@LifeGirl If that was the case about the phone, catching criminals would be easy. Not everyone uses their personal emails or names for every site anyway.

Regardless, the government can't be trusted so why should people trust big corporations either?

Always hated the "A Hideo Kojima game" thing as if he and he alone solely develops a game.

I think Konami getting rid off him was the right thing to do too considering Death Stranding and his obsession with Hollywood celebrities. Meanwhile, even with all those famous faces, it only ships 5 million which in the end is less than Days Gone which was apparently considered a flop by Sony lol.

Not surprising considering the negative reception towards the game. It initially sold on the brand name alone but that doesn't help for the long run.

That's two big failures from Capcom now. First Dragon's Dogma 2 and now Monster Hunter Wilds. Capcom is Crapcom again.

@UltimateOtaku91 Doesn't look anything like a Soulslike to me. It's not got slow combat and the enemies seem far too intelligent for it to be a Soulslike lol.

Cringelands 4? Not interested.

@Jackthelad93 The 6? I think Lezie Banzies (or whatever his name is) is the only guy left playing who enjoys this game. I'm sure he'll enjoy this mission too.

Lilithascends? More like LilithDescends...or LilithDeletesHisAccount.

@twitchtvpat From what I understand reading the reviews, it's mid at best and does very little to bring anything new to the oversaturated Soulslike genre.

Positive user reviews only seem to say "peak gooner game 10/10, her butt jiggles, game journalists big mad" so that already convinces me the game isn't very good.

@Northern_munkey Agreed. Bethesda has been a bad developer for a long time. The only good "Bethesda" games are games they didn't even develop and only published. That's not their talent.

I wish two were a new Tenchu and Way of the Samurai but the descriptions suggest neither. Shadowcar's description and project title sounds like something in a modern setting which still has peaked my interest if it's a stealth game.

Project Umbra I guess could be a samurai game about hunting yokai so again, I'm still interested but one day I hope they do a new Tenchu or Way of the Samurai.

@cusman That doesn't explain why Playstation is also porting and selling their games on Xbox and PC too.

Stray on Xbox, Death Stranding on Xbox, Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Xbox, 16 on Xbox and now Helldivers 2 on Xbox.

Won't be long before we see God of War and The Last of Us on Xbox too. All these games are already on PC.

I said it before, Nintendo is the last true platform left for actual exclusive games. Sony only fans are beginning to look silly in thinking Playstation was different from Xbox.

@PuppetMaster You don't have to work in the industry for 30+ years to know he's talking bull. Especially when games on a lesser budget have achieved the results he says are impossible. See Yakuza, Judgment and Sleeping Dogs.

I think being able to launch Steam games on the next Xbox would be the natural next step forward for the brand but I guess time will tell.

@Questionable_Duck @wildcat_kickz

Most people have genuine criticism of Rockstar games. For all the technical artistry of their games, they're not exactly the best on a gameplay level or in mission design. Gunplay is pretty much lacking in every game as is melee combat or interesting mission design.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was impressive on a technical level but that's kinda it. I'll take a new Sleeping Dogs any day over the week over GTA6 or RDR3 because I prefer gameplay over irrelevant realism details and tiring realism mechanics. Gameplay is always king.

@LifeGirl I would say Sleeping Dogs surpassed every GTA game. Likeable protagonist and good gameplay too.

Just another reason that it's good that Konami fired Kojima.

After changing Snake's appearance in 5, it's clear Kojima would have done so again (if he was still at Konami and making a MGS game) based on whatever new Hollywood celebrity he was suddenly attracted to and this guy certainly doesn't look like Snake, not even a close resemblance.

I'm not particularly a big fan of having celebrities be the face models or voices of characters in games either. We already see enough of them in movies.

Where is Kojima getting his money from to hire all these celebrities anyway? Sony?

@ButterySmooth30FPS I think sticking to console is gross since there's no real benefit. There's been very few exclusives this gen. Only Nintendo has really been doing that. All the third party games that have been carrying PS5 are on PC and run better rather than being stuck at 60 FPS on mid settings.

@MrPeanutbutterz Rise of the Ronin isn't published by Sony on PC. Neither is Nioh.

I get why you and @crackeastwood are so upset though. Playstation doesn't really release many games anymore and the few it does either come a year later to PC (Rise of the Ronin) or release at the same time on PC (Nioh 3).

Meanwhile Xbox has multiple titles that release a year and PlayStation only players, being starved for games, really want to play them instantly as Xbox and PC players are able to do instead of waiting a few months.

After all, just looking at this year, what has PS5 had? Remasters as usual and still no support with PS3 or PS2 games.

5 years and only 7 actual new exclusive titles (Astro Bot, Playroom, Destruction All Stars, Forspoken, Spiderman 2, Infinity Nikki, Returnal and Ratchet & Clank) is pretty bad. Especially bad when you consider half of these titles are flops that nobody brought a PS5 for. Those flops being Infinity Nikki, Returnal, Destruction All Stars and Forspoken.

The other "exclusives" are remakes or needless remasters nobody asked for. Oh and then you have timed exclusives like Black Myth Wukong and Silent Hill 2 Remake which I enjoyed playing on PC day 1, so again, not even really exclusives, just games Sony paid to keep off of Xbox for 1 year.

So for me the only problem in this industry is Sony becoming stagnant. You can't blame Microsoft for Sony's terrible output this generation. Sony was the one who decided to demand all their studios design live service games for the past several years before cancelling them all. Despite this, as we heard from the latest news, Sony seems dead set to continue with this endeavour despite the cancellations and flop of Concord.

Nintendo's output for Switch 2 in one year will surpass Sony's for PS5 and we all already know that.

So in the end £700 for a console isn't worth it when that console doesn't offer many exclusive games. If you can afford that, you can save a little more for a PC, then you two wouldn't be so upset as you get all the games apart from Nintendo ones.

@Vyse_the_Legend

I think you're placing too much faith in Sony when they're as anti consumer as Nintendo and Microsoft. Online would be charged for regardless. If Sony was such a good company though, it wouldn't have done so.

@dskatter Um it's not. You're looking at today's concurrent player count rather than all time peak.

PUBG is #1 at over 3 million.
Black Myth Wukong at #2 with over 2 million.
Palworld at #3 with over 2 million.
Counter Strike 2 at #4 with 1.8 million.
Monster Hunter Wilds at #5 with 1.3 million.

Stellar Blade hasn't even topped Starfail which reached 330,723 players concurrently.

This game seems to have done marginally less better than The First Descendant. Anyone thinking it was going to be as big as Elden Ring, Monster Hunter and Black Myth Wukong on PC were just lying to themselves. Sex sells but not that much apparently lol.

@DennisReynolds I want Yara Shahidi as Zelda and Miles Brown as Link but we can't always get what we want.

I don't see why they need to look like the characters either. Link himself should be a customisable character, since he's such a blank slate in most games, who you can change the hair and skin colour of. Nintendo needs more black characters. Instead we're going to get the usual white cast, so I don't see what you're upset about. Tom Holland probably as Link 😴

@dskatter Not sure how that dispels the notion that most of the modders and players of this game are virgins though and I will never stop clowning on them. Lol
