@KundaliniRising333 Ideals? That's a good one. How about brainwashed.

@Psnfanboy79 Dude come on. Get over yourself. We all play and love games. Stop being so irrational and short sighted. Good. Lord.

All I have to say is Mario Kart. The sales for this game is bonkers! Who doesn’t own it at this point.

Thank you Cryan Ryan

@MattBoothDev Just like Jim Ryan did?

Based on how huge TOTK is I am not sure I will be able to play anything except it all summer! When I play the game I constantly go off the beaten path to find new caves, wells, side quests etc. Some people may find it a grind and I understand but I am completely hooked. Back on topic if I had to choose it would probably Final Fantasy. I have never played any of the games before but it looks incredible. Between PS Plus, Switch, Game Pass and games that I have bought there is such a backlog. I am starting to realize though that even though I subscribe to all the services I normally end up playing the games I pay for. May have to ditch some services.

@eshy76 Good point makes sense.

@eshy76 I don't disagree about Redfall and MS games in general, but why would you want a knockout blow? Competition is a good thing. It is best for gamers that all consoles/developers publishers do well, whether you have a preference for Switch, PS, Xbox or PC.

I had the game delivered on Friday and I honestly cannot put it down. It is that good (at least for me). Nintendo outdid themselves this time.

Wow great month! Too bad I bought Tomb Raider on sale last year on my Xbox. So many games, so little time!

I think many of you need to read Liam's comments. He is spot on. Turn off your blinders. As an Xbox owner (and PS5, Switch & PC), I am not happy with the current slate of first party games from Xbox. Redfall is an utter embarrassment and should never have been released in it's current state and I was excited for it. Now I won't touch it until it's playable. Even then I may not play it. But what Phil is saying is true. Take some time and watch the entire video and take your blinders off.

Good lord Mario Kart 8. You would thing everyone has owned that game by now!!!

@Microbius And there is no reason to be! Great comment.

@RonnieL Feel better about yourself and your self esteem?

So much ignorance in so many of these posts. The “I want Sony to win at all costs” crowd is really scary. I have to admit that Sony is good at brainwashing their minions. Kind of like Apple. Wow, I have never seen the goal posts moving as much as they are here to fit a narrative.

@4kgk2 oh good lord.

@mrtennis1990 no, that would be Starfield.

Rather than focus on crying to regulators around the globe about the MS ABK acquisition, maybe Jim should be focused on games and lowering the price for this product.

Not on the list but I am just finishing up Bloodborne as I am catching up on missed PS4 titles. Bloodborne is a 10. Also played HZD which was an 8.5 for me and HFW which is a 9.

@NoCode23 oh good lord yikes. Do it man. Buy it. No one will hate you.

@Neonix I see your check cleared from Sony this week.

Wow, so many people getting upset. Let's not pretend Sony is an angel. They have been doing shady deals for years to hurt their competitors. They brought this on themselves with trying to block this merger. Now their dirty laundry is going to be exposed. When you have both sides of the aisle (Dem & Repub) looking into this, watch out. This should get interesting, especially with Jim Ryan testifying under oath before Congress.

@sjbsixpack When the word quality was mentioned I must have misunderstood to mean graphics, etc. In terms of overall games, sales and popularity Sony is ahead by miles. I finally got a PS5 last year as I missed the entire PS4 generation so I am catching up. I think PS has great games but I like Xbox games just as much, only PS has more of them.

@Snake_V5 Comments to your statements:

PS Plus has better quality Games than Game Pass. This is just silly. It shows me you never have seen what is on Game Pass,

PlayStation has better quality and more exclusives than Xbox. I would say many more exclusives but not necessarily better quality.

PlayStation is more popular than Xbox. The US is about even but not everywhere else.

PlayStation has sold more than Xbox. Yes they have by a lot and is a true testament to Sony's marketing, games and influence. However, MS's long term strategy is not console sales.

PlayStation has bigger install base than Xbox. Yes, almost double. However, this does not include PC's. In the end it doesn't matter to MS as their install base will include console, PC, Mobile, streaming, etc.

I am not sure about the reasoning for your comment because it is facts everyone already knows.. I am assuming you are just upset that it is more likely now that ABK and MS will merge and you need to feel a sense of importance knowing you own in your eyes the #1 console? Remember, it is ok to like other things. No one is going to think less of you or at least I would hope not.

There goes Jimmy's performance bonus. The UK is probably drenched in a rain of tears today.

Loved both games but I am done. The grinding Ubisoft open world formula copied is too much at this point. Yes, it was copied.

Word of advice to all. If you want to play future Bethesda games, buy and Xbox or PC. Simple as that. Stop being salty. To those that say Sony only buys studios that they have "cultivated" over the years, the same is true with Microsoft and Bethesda. The relationship existed long before Bethesda starting releasing games on the PS. Remember Morrowind, an Xbox exclusive? Remember all the games Bethesda released on PC well before consoles? Who invested in Bethesda then? They have had a long history together just like Sony and many of the studios they bought. The acquisition made sense from a business standpoint. If you want to play Sony first party titles, buy a PS. And in regards to Microsoft and ABK, bring it on. More competition is better for all gamers. For many of you it seems you want only a PS and everyone else to fold. Why I have no idea. There is life outside buttons with shapes on them. And it is ok to like other consoles and games made by competitors. No one will think less of you.

@Saitama117 Sure ok.

@dimi no offense but have you seen the games on game pass?

Thank you Xbox game studios for continuing to improve this game on all platforms. I am happy other people can play and enjoy this game now after the one year exclusivity period on PS.

Burned out from Horizon. Played both games in a row at the end of last year. Great games but it is Sonys take on the Ubisoft formula.

We all know what really happened. MS put a bug in the system like Sony said they would do to COD.

Really strange list. It doesn't even make sense. HFW was really good but #1, come on. Demon's Souls but no Elden Ring? What about GOT?

@mvhess Blah Blah. Nonsense.

@mvhess As I did on the other site, I have changed a few words for you again:

Sony is just throwing tremendous money at huge companies, with established multiplatform big hitters (to lock in exclusive content and block games from Xbox and other platforms). Microsoft nurtures studios as well. The reason they were able to buy Bethesda for the price they did is because Bethesda wouldn't be the studio it is without Microsoft's investment and trust for many years before they became multiplatform as evidenced by PC games and Xbox exclusives. Sony is using third party studios to help make some of its flagship titles such as Bloodborne, Final Fantasy and Silent Hill 2. Microsoft also has support studios. I have Playstation Plus Premium and I appreciate the value as I missed the PS4 generation and PS released a lot of great games that I can play. I just feel like Microsoft is laying the groundwork to makes games available to many more players than before and Sony is still bullying competitors and 3rd Party developers to maintain its position at the top.

Again, I hope that helps.

@UltimateOtaku91 enough already.

So glad I just started Dark Souls 3.

@Balosi Not sure I understand the point.

@Amnesiac understand. But people need to open their eyes and understand that having competition is better for all gamers, whether it is on PS, Xbox, Switch or PC. Or other platforms. They need to understand that one’s self worth is not predicated on owning one platform because they perceive it to be better.

@KaijuKaiser Yawn.

Yea for PlayStation and the fanboys. I hope it makes you all feel better about yourself. That feeling of owning the #1 console definitely adds to your self worth and feeling of self fulfillment. Congratulations!! Seriously, stop being a bunch of posers. Competition makes all of the games better. Wanting one console to dominate is not a good take. Open up and breathe. I know it is hard. Having a competitor will only make it it better for all gamers.

The difference between GOW and Elden Ring just comes down to playing each game. If you enjoy cinematic sequences that take up half the game, then GOW is for you. If you enjoy just playing a game and finding its secrets and lore without the cut scenes and over the top cinematic crap, then Elden Ring is for you. For me, there is no contest here. Just because Hozier sings a song doesn’t make it a better game. Elden Ring is an an absolute masterpiece. Probably one of the best ever. GOW, although good, does not come anywhere close.

And HFW should have won over GOW in several categories.

For anyone that has not played Immortals Fenix Rising, do it!! It is a fantastic game with a great art style and music. Although many reviews compared it to BOTW, I saw very little similarities. In fact, I like it better than BOTW. Be prepared for the Ubisoft open world formula map though.

Every time someone leaves an Xbox studio it is because of mismanagement. Give me a break with this comment. Stop drinking the Sony blue kool-aid.

@Rob_230 Yikes. You are so brainwashed. Do you really believe what you said?

@Would_you_kindly Please provide the numbers to back up your claim.

What about Sackboy and Rachet & Clank? I just finished HFW about a month ago as it came packaged with the PS5. Great game and in my opinion much better than the first which was also great. Those that have not bought the game and subscribed are in for a treat. Play HZD first though if you have not played it.

@shgamer Me too. After being spoiled with the graphics on the PS5 and Xbox it is getting harder by the day to go back to the Switch. BOW Tears of the Kingdom is going to look old and dated when I play it. I would love an updated switch.

@lacerz so much stupid with this comment.

Sony is like Apple. Pumping their arrogance as the premium brand. Let’s pay $1000 more for a TV because it is a Sony and has the name at the bottom of the TV. Jim Ryan only cares about revenue and profit. He is a scumbag and his only job these last 6 months has been greasing the pockets of regulators around the world. He seems to be doing a good job at this point though. I wonder how much money he promised to these regulators? As an American and I say to all you Brit’s, why would you want a Japanese company controlling the narrative here?
