Deus Ex 1 next, please!

@nomither6 wow what a rebuttal.

@nomither6 if you knew anything about Wonder, you'd know it's a far more creative game than Spidey 2, actually bursting with ideas.
I'm not buying either cause I'm not into 2D platformers anymore and I loathe superheroes, but if I had to choose between a creative, fun platformer and a by-the-numbers open world game with gameplay ripped straight from 15 years old Batman games, well, I know what I'd go for hands down.

A Sonic game is average? SHOCKER!

@Mikey856 what the actual **** does that even mean?
Seriously, I have no clue what you're getting at.

@starbuck2212 imagine being so frustrated that everyone's life has to suck just because yours does.

@thefourfoldroot1 "originality" says the guy spouting capitalist realism on me lol
Your points are so tired I don't even feel like rebutting them.
Let's just say I'll wait for you to tell me what invaluable skill CEOs like Bobby Kotick bring to the table that justify them earning 400+ times what their workers earn.
But I'm sure you'll keep spouting the same old "they made themselves", blah blah blah

@Mikey856 that line of thinking really disgusts me.
I'd like to see what you would do if you were to lose your livelihood to greedy CEOs who rake in the millions and have to retrain for another job after spending all your life studying for it and then doing it.
Let's see if you're still willing to lick CEO boots then.

@thefourfoldroot1 dude is it that hard to understand that "what you're worth" is decided by those who are going to pay them?
Do you think it's fair for a CEO to decide that actors should starve while they take home 20+ millions a year?
I really, really can't fathom this line of thinking.

Can't believe the idiocy and malice in this comment section.
Sounds like caring for other fellow humans' livelihood is a rar thing these days.
Also, those of you who talk about the "inevitability of AI" don't know the first thing about it, so maybe educate yourself first.
Repeat after me: "Artificial Intelligence doesn't exist, yet it will still ruin everything".

@ShogunRok thanks a lot! That's exactly what I was hoping for!
I just realized I wrote "crouch" twice in my original comment (I've edited it now), but I guess you still understood what I meant lol
Thank you!

@ShogunRok hey there, do you know what buttons those new control schemes change around? Cause I'm a control scheme freak and I'd love to be able to crouch with the right stick and melee with Circle/B.
Thanks in advance!

@WizzNL @General_Disarray I know, I was just commenting on the "quiet week" part.

@UltimateOtaku91 It launched literally the same day as BG3's PS5 version, what are you on about?

@PixelDragon that alone doesn't warrant calling a game a "classic".

How R* games can be considered "classics", with their terrible controls and even worse mission design, is beyond me.

If I find the time (big if) I'll keep playing Far Cry 5.
I have a lot of other games I need to finish, but right now I'm hooked on slaying cultists lol

@get2sammyb comment #7, this is what I'm referring to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory

If you don't know what I or they were talking about, I'm sorry but I don't think it's a great idea to publish such articles on a gaming site.
It's like expecting any tabloid to give you a nuanced assessment of a videogame like you do here.

@get2sammyb so let me get this straight: "you've never read a book" is flaming, but spouting straight up verified conspiracy theories is ok?
I mean, it's your site so you do you, but frankly that's disgusting.
And it was the seventh comment, so much for keeping the conversation on topic.

Aaaahhhh, Roblox, the modern day child slavery!
No but seriously, when a product has children create content which is then sold back to them, there's something seriously wrong.

EDIT: before people jump at me, watch People Make Games' videos on Roblox.

@naruball and it still has nothing to do with what I said.
I was referring to the way a game like TOTK has a significantly smaller budget, despite having a similarly huge scope and way more complex systems (on way weaker hardware no less) than Horizon.
Now explain to me where Mario Kart or Wii U re-releases enter the equation.

@naruball you know, it'd be great if you could reply to my point instead of devolving in bashing Nintendo fans.
What does any of that have to do with what I said?

@4kgk2 #42 nope, I want games to be games.
If I wanted to watch a movie, there are literally thousands to watch at any time.
No art form has ever elevated itself by aping other art forms, so why should videogames?

Meanwhile, Nintendo keeps pushing the envelope on a comparatively peanuts budget (see TOTK and how it uses ancient tech to create emergent, complex gameplay not seen on much more powerful platforms).

Tonight I'll finally be playing Zelda, I'm so looking forward to it!
Oh and I'll certainly play some Battlefield as well, as that's basically the only game I've been playing recently, despite having started other super anticipated games like Omori and Atomic Heart.

@LordBakemono said the guy calling everyone "Karen" 😂
Tell me how I'm supposed to take you seriously, buddy 😂

Your reply is on another level of ignorance and submission, really. Keep being satisfied with whatever crap you're given, but don't lower other people's standards to your incredibly low bar, please.

One has to be really narrow-minded to shout haphazardly "just don't buy them", as if history hadn't already taught us that this kind of mechanic always end up impacting everyone by artificially extending the grind for anyone who doesn't cough up.

These things have no place in games, especially full price releases. Period.

I mean, it's not like you can pump out average tier games with horrible names like Various Daylife (or outright trainwrecks like Forspoken), and expect them to sell like the latest Final Fantasy.

If I hated Funko Pops before, then I think I despise them even more now.

@Th3solution ahahahahahahahaha those two are both hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!

Never expected anything good to come out of this, to be honest.
It always looked and sounded like a terrible, soulless mishmash of uninspired choices.

@stayawake "Have you ever thought that people just don’t like these forced agendas on society? Maybe you clowns should consider that reality?"

Erm...here? What are you even going on about? Can you read your own comments before accusing me of not reading them?
Btw I'm not gonna waste any more of my time on you, have a good one.

@stayawake what examples? That the main character is a woman of color? Seriously? Is that an agenda to you?

@stayawake calls people clowns while complaining about "forced agendas" they can't even make an example of lol

Sony's answer to Starfield?

Yeah expected cause you're a PS site, but there's no way GOW:R is a more influential game than ER. ER pushes the boundaries of games, while GOW:R, if it's any similar to the first, doesn't.
There is simply no way.

Yeah, because what gaming is in dire need of is aping other media, as if their games weren't rote enough from a gameplay standpoint 🤦🏼‍♂️
The sad things is casuals will still call their games "the pinnacle of the industry" or some nonsense like that, just because they have beautiful graphics and a well-acted story, while the gameplay side of things languishes in a corner.

Ok now this is getting ridiculous 😂 this game in a GOTY list really is a bad joke lol

It's an opinion and all, but personally I would never award CDPR for having an average RPG finally work as intended 2 years later.

I mean, the first game wasn't original or interesting enough to warrant a single sequel, let alone a trilogy.
Truly one of the most overrated series ever.

Both terrible games, one of which is not even from this year.
Just goes to show how meaningless these awards are.

It's Pinocchio, not Pinnochio 😉

Ahead of its time ahahahahahahahahah
Wait, he's serious?

Tell me one thing that doesn't make it exactly a product of its time, from the zombies to the gameplay to everything in between.

I really don't understand the "well deserved" and pats on the back CDPR is receiving.
So we've all forgotten the scam they pulled at launch?
I'm not saying the devs didn't work their a***s off to make it finally playable more than a year after launch (when it should've been at launch), cause they did, but do you think they are the ones reaping the rewards of this sales milestones? Cause the ones doing that are exactly the same managers who pulled the scam in the first place.
So no, not well deserved in the slightest.

All I can think reading Takashi Miike's name are his cameos and name-drops in No More Heroes ahahahah
So, a Miike-directed NMH movie when? 😃

@gollumb82 nice, glad you're enjoying it! 😃
