@FatHedgehog What's your problem with the controls? They are perfectly fine apart from some minigames in Spyro 3. They even corrected some quirks of the original Spyro.

@Clayton_Bigsby You are not winning anybody over GOT with that awful comment.

@Gaming365247 There's nothing wrong with including "progressive" things in games if it is well written and not tacked on to win brownie points.

I have nothing against gay and lesbian people and you shouldn't either.

@NYJetsfan123 My bad, sorry ! I deleted my comment.

@TheIdleCritic It's not. The free mp update just shows Sucker Punch dedication to their game.

I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima and I'll try to squeeze some time for Yakuza 7 and 13 sentinels this week.

I hope there's some form of fast travel.

@nessisonett Maybe, but still better than nothing

Where is the multiplayer mode in TLOU2 again? GOT is the GOTY.

@Mordechaj I must be the only one that enjoyed the MIDI soundtrack 'cause it's nostalgic for me lol.

Anyways, SE should have offered a way to upgrade instead of delisting the base version.

@Juanalf I can't talk for everybody, but for me I dislike the guy because he's a big hypocrite and he has an ego more massive than the Eiffel tower. The fact he is a mediocre writer doesn't help either.

Amy Hennig's departure from Naughty Dog is mostly on him. He mistreats real women to push out "inclusivity" in games. That's dumb.

@RPE83 Fair enough, but the number of hours rely heavily on what kind of skill you want to develop and your natural talent.

It also minimizes the fact that you still need to practice afterwards if you don't want to regress... and for physical skills you are going to regress anyway as you get older.

10000 hours is such a random number. It is a pet peeve of mine, just like the "you only use 10% of your brain".

Will buy a "football" game again only if they make a new Mega Man soccer. Come on Capcom!

You are almost forgiven for inviting Brie Larson.

Brie Larson youtube channel is a gift that keeps on giving. So bad.

@kyleforrester87 That's a common misconception. The "10 000 hours makes you an expert" popular idea on the internet is false. No amount of exercise/practice can account for some innate level of dexterity and skills you need to be a pro at most things (music, sports, etc). For video games, it is debatable but I don't think if I let my grandma play Cuphead for 10000 hours that she will be able to beat it lol.

Practice all you want, if you are 5 feet tall, you will never play in the NBA.

Congrats to Neil Druckman for the promotion. It's a nice example of the Peter principle at work.

Before people say there is no way Sony Japan and Sony California can be at war with each others for the top spot, may I remind everyone of what happened to Sega in the 90s?

Idk if Sony is doing artificial scarcity on purpose for the PS5, but concerning Nintendo, for all the naive people out there, you should read this :https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.magnatag.com/amp/blog/post/is-artificial-scarcity-damaging-the-nintendo-brand

Some excerpts:

"The most unsurprising element of Nintendo’s circumstance in particular, is that the company has recently experienced the highs and lows of both overestimating (Wii U) and underestimating (amiibos, nes classic, snes classic) the demand for their products. (...)

So what does Nintendo have to gain—if anything—from creating an artificial scarcity? For starters, inventory shortages work as a tremendous PR machine for a company with an in-demand product. Think back to any holiday of recent memory: There’s always that single product that no one can get their hands on, but regardless of however rare and difficult to find it may be, somehow it always manages to make its way to the desk of every morning and late-night talk show in the country. People like to have the new “it-product”, and something that is in high-demand and is seemingly impossible to find drives value in the short-term.

From a manufacturing perspective, Nintendo seems to be using a hybrid push-pull strategy for their supply-chain management. History suggests that the company doesn’t do well with long-term forecasting, and rather than have another inventory mishap on their hands, Nintendo’s distribution model likely wants to take advantage of economies of scale by only pushing out products they are guaranteed to sell. As a result, these products become harder to find in retail locations, but they are never left to go to waste. From this point forward, a manufacturer’s production efforts are typically based off of consumer demand.

When manufacturing a product at a larger scale, companies are often required to take on larger investments to front production costs. So in Nintendo’s case in particular, where demand is superseding inventory, the second wave of production costs greatly outsize the production of the first round of consoles. Nintendo’s manufacturing strategy grants decision-makers with a period of reflection, which gives their manufacturing team time to analyze the popularity of a product before planning the next round of production or deciding to increase the product’s cost. Creating an artificial scarcity is a pro-business move that prioritizes profits over consumer happiness. Period.

As we all know, rather than creating units to meet demand, Nintendo elected to cut manufacturing short—which was likely a move that was made to eliminate any excess capacity in the manufacturing process and maximize profits."

@nessisonett Dude, your TDS is getting annoying.

I suggest this short, no ***** review from Zero Punctuation to everyone :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb3nnRT7DnY&app=desktop

I learned a new interesting word, bokeh: (from wikipedia)

In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects.

Looks very promising, especially for a developper's first game.

@R1spam Personally, I like the term "gaming bucket list" because it means it's a curated list and not just every games you have yet to beat. It also can have games you want to replay again.

I have an enormous backlog of games but that's ok. I know I will probably get to at least try them all before kicking the bucket. I don't mind too much because the vast majority of my games I got used, in bundles or on sales.

Sony California at work. Sony Japan are probably committing seppuku as we speak.

@LiamCroft If you are 14 and/or have ***** taste.

Cardi B would have been a better choice for garbage rap music.

@Gamer83 I have good memories of playing the first Syphon Filter and burning terrorists with the taser.

@AdamNovice Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Toys for Bob probably included all that extra content so Activision could justified a 60$ price tag.

Personally, I do agree with Caddi that there is too much recycled content. The same amount of extra challenges but with new stages would have been better.

@AdamNovice It's only bad if you rush to complete the game. I saw his video too and it is obvious he crammed a lot of Crash 4 into a couple of weeks to be able to make that video. I'm doing a couple of gems per week since the launch and I still love the game.

Youtuber "canadian guy eh" has a video on it and I share his opinion that it hints at a new Crash Team Racing game. Remember that when Crash 4 was leaked, there was also talk about a Crash PvP game for 2021? That's this game.

@Subsided @Jayslow I couldn't agree more with both of you.

I know they won't do it but Sony should take the opportunity for the next couple of years to release 1 or 2 PS2 classics on the PS4 each month. With a platinum trophy, these would sell enough to be profitable.

It's also almost criminal that there are no PS1 classics on the PS4. I mean, Sony, just dump what you already have on PS3 on PS4. It shouldn't cost a lot of licensing / resources to do.

@mrbone I have hundreds of PS2 and PS3 games. I have some PS2, PS3, Wii, Wii U, Ds, 3ds and PS4 games on display in my living room right now, ready to play. I have a 4k tv and a CRT next to each other.

Variety is the spice of life. I do understand I'm in a pretty small minority, but we are passionated and we spend a lot of $$$ on gaming.

Aside from the obvious, I'm pretty hyped about Chronos: before the ashes, a souls like game with an aging mechanic.

Seems pretty interesting. I'm just a bit concerned about the variety. I hope the final product have more styles. Some symphonic, melodic and industrial would mix well.

@oldschool1987 My main problem with Death Stranding winning best PC game is the "PC" part. It's like if Cuphead won best Playstation game. My choice would have been Half-Life Alyx.

@PegasusActual93 Would you elaborate on you studies? I have a bachelor degree in psychology so please excuse my curiosity.

@Tasuki Sadly, Trevor Goddard died in 2003.

@PlayStationPlayer Death Stranding won PC game of the year ffs.These awards are basically just a popularity contest and have no credibility whatsoever.

@oldschool1987 They won't be happy before everyone say they absolutely loved it. They are the vocal minority fellating a game that most people thought was "above average", "good" or "pretty good". Still not enough for them lol.

It's complicated. I'm a collector so I buy a lot of old used games. I've always prefered physical media. I love to read video game manuals and display my games, but I don't like to pay 80$+ for a rare 15 years old game if a legal digital alternative exists. I also like trophies a lot so Sony, please rerelease all the great PS1 and PS2 games for PS4, I'll buy them!

Anyways, digital is a godsend on PC and for indies and niche games. A lot of games would have never existed if not for digital.

I do agree with the author that digital is more and more attractive nowadays. The death of manuals and the need to install discs make physical media almost superfluous if the pricing of digital media is right and you have the storage for it!

I still like to buy physical for the rare games with manuals and/or artwork included.

Great art but I would swap all the characters except Kratos.

Aloy
Ratchet (with Clank)
Colossus (with Wander)

Personally, I would love another console with the same core design but with a "retro theme" with

Crash Bandicoot
Spyro
Sir Fortesque
Ape Escape monkey

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty.

@TheRedComet It's easy to forget now with the small budget and dated special effects, but in 1995, Mortal Kombat the movie was a big hit and a big success financially.

Also, it is still one of the most accurate if not the most accurate adaptation of a video game to a "real" movie (not animation).

Sure, it's cheesy but the fight choregraphies are good enough for the most part and it is memorable. It was so good in fact that the future games changed Kano to be like his depiction in the movie.

You just have to look to the sequel to see how a MK story can easily be a complete mess of a movie.

Christopher Lambert (Raiden) was a big french movie star at the time. He is great in MK.

@AdamNovice The 1995 Mortal Kombat movie is still the best movie adaptation of a video game.

@Saucymonk Hank is probably a reference to the character Hunk (Hanku in japanese).

I forgot to mention that RE apocalypse can also be a mention for Code Veronica. The 2004 movie was loosely inspired by RE3 and Code Veronica.

Let's speculate.

Rock Man Match: looks like it will be the long awaited Mega Man battle network collection. Mr. Match is a recurrent character in those games.

Resident Evil Hank may be a reference to Hunk (Hanku in japanese). That character appears in several RE games. Maybe it's a hint to a Mercenaries remake? A new operation racoon city game? It's noteworthy to know that while he is absent from code Veronica, he is still mentioned. So maybe we will get that remake we fans want.

Onimusha new work. At 1st glance, it looks like we will get a new game but... I think we will get a remake/hd port of Onimusha 2 samurai's destiny. Why? New work in japanese can be translated as Shinsaku. Shinsaku is the name of a famous historical samurai.

So are my speculations too farfetched? What do you think people?

I feel like this game is a flop mainly because of its timing. It should have been released prior to Avengers endgame when the Marvel hype was at its peak.

Also, the fact that they do not use the likeness of the actors is a big turnoff for a lot of people.
