Zeroo

@get2sammyb is there any poll coming into these posts any time soon? They’re so difficult to see any trends in unlike the equivalent posts on Nintendo Life. Go ask them how they do it? Can’t be that hard technically speaking

Wasn’t it always supposed to end after season 3? I don’t know why this news is so surprising.

@NieR_Dark 6 hours

@get2sammyb still no poll in this post? It can’t be that hard to implement. Even Nintendo Life has it

@get2sammyb still no poll in these weekly threads? Maybe you can do an experiment and check how it works for a week like they do at Nintendo Life

They’re gonna top it off with Persona 5: Royal Rebirth to grab some more cash

@get2sammyb why can you never make a poll for these kind of posts unlike the ‘what are you playing?’ posts at Nintendo Life? They do it way better over there. That way you can easily see what the most played games are per week

@BentIeyma why is that? I’m playing it right now

@theheadofabroom you’re projecting your own feelings of anxiety here lol “on their teams who largely don't want to use them” - 90% of the developers nowadays use gitlab or copilot with AI. Why? Cause it makes their lives easier.

@Nnfyrbsnss I agree. They should not engage further with the gamer community as it’s well known that they get rabid at any mention of AI, no matter how it’s being used.

Hold your horses with that subtle racism against Chinese here @bluemage1989

One of the most anticipated upcoming gacha games. Hell yes I will play it. Been waiting for it for years

@Rich33 it means the reviewer thought it was a good game even with the performance problems. Without those, the reviewer would give it a 9-10/10 most likely

@Judal27 why not get this one and enjoy it together with everyone else?

I love episodic content and the community feel so I’ll be picking this up day 1

@TheEnygma Yep or the new Metal Gear Solid Delta. Utter crap performance, but no, Push Square gives them a 9/10 and can barely hold themselves back asking for another spoon of slop.

@neillaw That's engagement speculation on Push Square's part... nowhere has it been confirmed that any review site is axing their review.

@Nalim yup, pushsquare and commentors pretending like not every game has a day 1 patch nowadays

@Rich33 pushSquare is also rewarding developers for releasing games with bad performs like this week with giving Metal Gear Solid Delta a 9/10 even though it runs like crap

What does The Witcher 4 have to do with this game at all? 😂 jfc

@ThroughTheIris56 what is packed in the remainder of the year? Hell is Us, Silent Hill F, Ghost of Yotei, Cronos, etc all look like fine 7-8/10 games but definitely not must plays

Well, who are the voice actors? That matters the most

If you read the words in the review, not the score, it sounds more like a 6/10 game that was given 2 points extra just cause it’s FromSoft.

@Fiendish-Beaver a 32k peak on steam for an AAA release is just laughable these days. Expedition 33 was an AA release that was also on gamepass and it had a peak of 145k.

Doom is significantly underperforming.

Looks great, but the fanbase is insufferable with their gate keeping.

@KundaliniRising333 uh what’s wrong with linearity? Literally every great Final Fantasy has been pretty much linear. FF6, FF7, FF9, FF10. You’re showing your age with that comment.

@Pat_trick This. I was burnt by them buying DD2 on release so no way I'm getting a capcom game on release especially if the review says it has dodgy PS5 performance.

@Jayslow why are you going to buy the sequel if you got really bored with the first part? I really don't get that. Listen up, you don't HAVE TO play stuff that bores you.

@gameloop steady 60fps

@ThunderFunk it is way more nuanced than that.

1) Do you have 160 hours available to spend on realistic medieval WRPGs and don’t mind jankiness and less refined gameplay systems to get the full story in detail from A to Z? Start with KCD1.
2) Do you have 80 hours available for a realistic medieval WRPG that is a lot more refined/definitive than its predecessor? Start with KCD2.

@thefourfoldroot1 they’ve ironed out the issues with combat, especially vs multiple opponents

@IntrepidWombat do you only play 2 games per year?

@Flaming_Kaiser If you actually bothered to look into Path of Exile, you'd not be whining about it and thinking it's a f2p cash shop to the max game like any other.

Couldn't Push Square have given the review code to someone else on the team then?

@LikelySatan me too, I'll buy the complete edition for the nintendo switch 2 in 1-2 years

@ShogunRok thank you! That will be awesome

@ShogunRok any update on getting a poll in these posts like on Nintendo Life? Makes it so much more interesting to see the trends week by week.

Edition 540 still without a poll so it's just a bunch of people commenting with no trends from week to week

And still no poll here.

Look at your sister site Nintendo Life doing this way better.

@themightyant
There are no revenue reports for anything other than mobile but yeah, HSR has been bringing more cash

1) digital only so not paying full price for that crap
2) pushsquare gave DD2 a 9/10 while the game was very shallow and this is only a 7/10 by them so I'm definitely concerned with how much worse it is

The update is actually coming 31 July, not 31 August like it's being said here

@DragoonZied so nothing like those porn games on steam?

@UltimateOtaku91 I mean sure, the big hype died down but it's literally the 16th most played PC game in the world still. I'd say it's very much alive and kicking.

@AndyKazama what do you mean by progression model? You can clear all content in Genshin, Honkai Star Rail and ZZZ using free characters + you get a ton of pulls every patch for more limited characters.

Lol'ing at all the people in the comments here who cannot handle not seeing every little detail in a game in 1 playthrough. It's called your playthrough and choices having consequences my dudes...

It's the best 6.5/10 game you'll ever play. Minus points for making fast travel from the top to the bottom cumbersome and barely any enemy variety, plus you become unstoppable in the game once you're level 30+ and it has 0 challenge anymore.

@Solingo_Bill any other big hitters besides this, FF7 rebirth and the elden ring DLC?
