@JDINCINERATOR you must not have looked much then. There’s TONS of hate going around for Crimson Desert and constant moving of goalposts. It is going FAR beyond simple scepticism. It’s mainly exhausting behaviour by miserable gamers that want this to fail.
@LiamCroft any chance of a poll on these threads? I’ve been asking for it every week. Can’t be that hard to try it out for a week and see if it works for you guys, like with your sister site Nintendo Life
@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
@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
@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.
@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
@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.
@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
@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
@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.
@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.
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.
@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.

Re: 'We're Not Hiding Anything': Crimson Desert Dev 'Sick' of Claims Around No PS5 Footage
@lazarus11 people hate on this game because it’s not developed by a western or Japanese developer

@RBMango an hour of footage you want? Jesus ***** Christ. The standards you racists hold this game to compared to western developers is insane

Re: God of War: Sons of Sparta Is the Long-Rumoured 2D Game, and It's Out Today on PS5
So the GoW Trilogy is in early development they said so don’t expect it in the next years.
I wonder what they’ve been working on since Ragnarok. Just this ok looking 2D game?
Re: God of War Trilogy Remake Announced for PS5
Still early in development with nothing to show?
That’s very lame to finish on. Won’t be out for a few years.

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

Re: Elden Ring Nightreign (PS5) - A Ruthless Roguelike Reinvention of the Lands Between
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.
