@get2sammyb I’ve definitely heard complaints about it in just about every game that uses it. Weren’t there a lot of negative comments on the Forza Horizon 5 article? And at that time there was a lot people angry that Microsoft was doing it and acting like they were the only company to have it.

Paid early access is ridiculous no matter who does it.

Hardcore mode. Now that’s funny…. (as I get my ass whooped for the 100th time).

@EfYI Because they have almost nothing in common except cars?!?! They’re totally different games. Only thing comparable on PlayStation is The Crew (and the Horizon games are much better than any of those). Your statements show your complete lack of knowledge about the game.

Open world arcade racing vs semi-simulator style racing on tracks. Cars handle nothing like each other - AT ALL.

Looks cool but not sure how I feel about the “no quests” thing. Glad it’s coming to GamePass to at least give it a shot.

How many stories do we need about this? It’s no longer news.

Sounds like it’s made for me then. 😀

This caught my eye as a title coming to GamePass. Looks slick!

I’ll be taking it for a ride! (Sorry that was the best I could do)

Got Pirate Yakuza but am having a blast with Avowed so might end up putting that on the back-burner for now.

Don’t know if it’ll work or not but it’s way too early to judge. Honestly don’t think you can call it “idiotic” or a godsend at this point. Time will tell.

@ATaco My understanding is that the second “tape” will be on PS Extra next month.

Honestly what they could do is just stop doing State of Play presentations and put a blog post with trailers of upcoming games. Then do focused presentations for Sony games when they are ready to be shown (kind of like Microsoft’s Developer Directs).

Trailers of upcoming games still get out there and they’ll be excitement when there are presentations because we’ll know that they WILL be focused on first party games.

Loved this game on Series X/GamePass. Highly recommend it!

Not sure if this has anything to do with it but there’s numerous reports of layoffs at PlayStation today.

What an idiot. Those fires were devastating and he actually impeded rescue efforts to put out them out with his big boy toy. Guessing with that low of a fine that he didn’t cause it to crash? Some people in the world just don’t have the capacity to handle being rich without being an *****.

Another reason it’s 80 percent on PlayStation is that it’s on GamePass so probably made a big dent on Xbox sales.

Having an absolute blast playing this and very, very hard disagree on the score (which I think is the lowest I’ve seen). Easily an 8/10, pushing 9/10.

BTW, there are a bunch of camera settings that can be tweaked. Did the reviewer try any of them?
Have not had a death yet I would blame on the camera.

I don’t understand the point of these stories. It’s like every freaking day for like the last six months. Yes, we know more Xbox games are coming. Do we need a new story for every single rumor? It’s getting ridiculous. Real announcements like FH5, sure, but a million rumors of ports? No thanks. It’s overkill.

Played High on Life on GamePass and think it’s woefully underrated. Fun game if you don’t mind that type of humor. I’d personally say it’s the “high”light of this month. 😀

How many of these stories do we really need?

Love my PS5 and love my Series X. Don’t even care anymore about “exclusives” on Xbox. On Xbox, it’ll continue to be all about GamePass for me the number of big first and third party games coming this year to GP has me hooked.

Will keep going to PS for its great exclusives but Xbox isn’t dead to me as long as they keep doing what they’re doing with GP and keep it affordable (which I suspect selling games multiplatform will help with).

Still room for both for me.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black on my Series X. And it’s awesome!

@JaBrony123 Even being published by Xbox Studios but obviously exclusivity isn’t their end game now. Will be on GamePass day one though!

@Lavishturtle Yeah, because I’m sure Celeste and Towerfall took no work at all. Great games that just magically appeared.

Nothing much for me other than the Premium games. Already played Ragnarok when it came out and many of the others I played on GamePass when they came out. Still recognize that it’s a good month for many others though.

Have had GoW since launch. Have played bunch of the other games, including The Man Who Erased His Name, on GamePass. Kind of funny that PS Plus is getting the first Citizen Sleeper while the sequel is coming to GP the same month.

Indy and Medievil 2 have me interested though..

Isn’t this the second game in a few weeks where a review criticized the use a lot of proper nouns? LOL.

Give me MotorStorm dammit!!!

I actually liked Oblivion more than Skyrim. Bring it on!

@nessisonett It’s Vegas. Everything on the strip is a colossal eyesore.

Sometimes I wish this site would act more like a news site and not interject opinion in their articles (except reviews of course). It’s off putting and this isn’t even the worst offender.

Gross. As many mistakes Ubisoft has made, they’ve still had some good output. If that gets put in the hands of Tencent, I worry about the future of their big franchises. Don’t think there could be a worse outcome.

@Nem So you go to MetaCritic and sort the 44 Xbox reviews by score. There’s only three out of 44 that gave below an 8. So you’re saying over 90% of the critics are sell outs? I suppose the same must be true for every Sony game that’s ever gotten good reviews?

Some people will really will stretch their imagination just to fit their own agenda.

Yeah, I’m also curious how this compares to the Apple Arcade version. Love what I’ve played of that version but totally agree on the difficulty spikes.

Also really unfair for some to write it off as just a mobile game. It’s a thousand times better than some of the cookie cutter JRPGs available on console. But sure, it’s just a mobile game…

This story aged well…

I’ve been playing it “early” on my Series X for quite a while now and love it. Definitely my favorite of all the Left 4 Dead clones. Highly recommend to PlayStation players!

It Takes Two is incredible but it really does take two. It would have been cool if they could have had some sort of matchmaking ability.

Of course they’re back after I broke down two days ago and used points on something else. ☹️

Didn’t expect to see them again TBH.

There needs to be another option. “Yes, I will definitely be playing this on Xbox with GamePass”.

Really looking forward to digging into this one!

Game already has a good player base (more than even the new Dragon Age) on Steam and an 80% positive. A lot of reviewers may have been playing without the patches. So far so good on my Series X!

But please, take the word of those commenting here over those playing it.

@Greifchen If you read them, many of those reviews say the game itself is great. It’s the technical issues that are dragging it down. So “pretty positive” is probably referring to the views of the overall game sans the technical problems.

My issue with this game was the cops. Wayyyy too aggressive and made it a pain in the ass to get through the career.

Bizarre to see Nintendo that far down the list.

What’s the difference between Max 4K on PS5 and just 4K on Xbox Series X. Does that mean PS5 doesn’t always hit 4K resolution while XSX does?

Just Digimon Survive and Killer Frequency for me from Extra. Nice line up for Premium though.

Maybe Sony could offer an exchange program? Nah…forgot this is Sony.

@Decimateh-xblz Yeah, the reviews on Xbox are ridiculous. It doesn’t help when it’s a GamePass game then every idiot in the world can leave stupid reviews where they can’t even spell a word correctly.

I most definitely think it’s worth playing. It’s
Much better than the last one IMO as it at least has a semblance of a real campaign.

Know IGN is usually the butt of all jokes but I agreed with their review on this one (8/10).

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Both

I’m having a blast with the game. Best MechWarrior in years (and so much better than Mercenaries, which felt half baked).

Would note this review is an outlier. This has an 80 on Metacritic (79 on OpenCritic) and deserves the praise it is getting elsewhere. Great game!

P.S. And if you’re comparing a MechWarrior game to XCom, then, yeah, you’ve already disqualified yourself from having a valid review.

Nadella never refutes the leakers point that they are slowing down. Just because he says more are coming doesn’t mean that a ton are suddenly going to pop up. Both can be true, as the leaker himself has been explaining since. Neither pause or slow down means stop. This isn’t a story.

This the same leaker who always gets PS Plus games right. He’s one of the more reliable leakers.
