Another peak gamer meltdown. Ada doesn’t sound like she works at a phone sex hotline anymore and everyone’s mad as hell about it haha

They have been doing this for a minute though, haven’t they? At least since 7, because I just replayed that and there’s all the special coins you can buy. It honestly doesn’t bother me, they’re tough games for some people and if this makes it a bit easier for them, who cares. They quietly add them, they’re not obtrusive, bit of a non-issue if you ask me.

So because Gamescom gave them a Switch-specific award, they’ve delayed releases two weeks prior? I don’t buy it. I don’t think there’s some sort of paid deal going on either, that would seem even weirder to me.

Everyone wants cloud gaming to happen except the players

I doubt this will be able to keep up the player base

@NeonPizza global VR/AR equipment sales shrunk by 12% in 2022, there’s a lot of indications this is a downward trend. Time will tell, though. I think it’s too early to write PSVR2 off just yet, but my prediction is that this corner of the market will continue to decline.

I think it’ll largely be abandoned by both Sony and 3rd party developers. The interest just isn’t there. Even Meta is quietly pivoting away from VR.

The poll results just kind of show what a bubble this site is, it’s not a realistic representation of the wider market. The real Sony heads will buy it and wish it well, but everyone else is a bad combo of low on cash and uninterested.

Where are people getting their information on VS being a paid exclusive? Just because a game is on one platform and not the other, doesn’t mean it was a timed exclusivity deal.

They’d be really bucking the trend if this thing DOES do well, but too early to write it off yet. I have yet to meet a single person IRL who’s interested in VR gaming. There’s a few die-hards banded together on the internet but the mass adoption just isn’t happening the way it was predicted.

I’m all in. Probably on PC though, but I’m not sure yet. D3 played so good on a controller but this feels a bit different. I played the beta on PC, what was everyone’s thoughts on the controller layout?

I enjoyed it, it doesn’t QUITE hit the highs that XCOM does, but the fights are really fun.

I wonder what other games are out there with hidden stuff no one’s discovered yet.

The Wonderful 101 is goood stuff

Do not read that Polygon article if you don’t want the story spoiled. Huge spoilers, what a trashy website.

The next Babylon’s Fall

The worst kind of platinum, then.

It will be nice to see SFV get a little shot in the arm before June

Some BIG fanboy energy in this comment section so far. Valheim is a masterpiece, fingers crossed they add another platform.

I loved Deathloop.

pcgamer’s latest preview wasn’t great, this could be a huge dud. Doesn’t sound like there’s much there in terms of gameplay.

They’ll need to release a LOT more PS5 exclusive software for me to even consider buying a pro model.

I find most platinums simply too tedious to bother with, the challenge lies in my own boredom.

Forspoken had to sting bad, what an absolute flop. I honestly think they’d be better off getting acquired at this point.

Enough with the PS4 games :/

@KaijuKaiser haha best post I’ve seen in a while

Will the reception be as icy when Sony starts unveiling their’s? Haha we got 10 of these bad boys headed our way.

That’s one juicy tidbit about the X/S, I have to applaud the honesty. I can’t wait to play this on PC, personally. That era of D&D CRPGs, Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale, etc. That’s peak gaming nostalgia for me.

Somehow? haha don't act so shocked, the effort put into premium has been consistently minimal.

Do the kids still say copium?

Sony continues to fumble the PS5 in my opinion.. terrible output, terrible messaging, PSVR2 looks DOA. It's like they're content on just riding out the artificially inflated demand caused by the chip shortage by doing the absolute bare minimum required to stay in the game. They spend more time fighting MS's acquisitions than trying to do anything meaningful for their established base.

I forgot I preordered on Switch until I got the "delivery update" email from Amazon this morning haha. What a relief to see this review.

Some of the differences from MH sound pretty good. I don't know if it'll be enough to convince that crowd to try an EA alternative, especially when Rise is still seeing free title updates. We shall see! I am intrigued. Not 90 Canadian dollars intrigued, but intrigued none the less.

Midnight Suns might be next for me, 40% off with a sub at the moment.

I’m a little worried all their eggs are in the live service and VR baskets, and I’m not sure of either’s long term future.

It shows how easily fooled the gaming community is. Say the right words, set the right tone in a teaser trailer, and you can ride that wave right into Steam’s most anticipated game, which is what happened here. It will likely still sell quite a few copies because there’s gamers who will just refuse to be wrong about something.

Not surprised, even though the gameplay is actually excellent. Being a good game isn’t enough in the live service space, you need to capture some other thing, I don’t even know what to call it.

I figured with the wait they were going to do something good with the Discord integration but sounds like they phoned yet another thing in.

I've always been curious about OlliOlli World, what a pleasant surprise. Hopefully we get Rollerdrome at some point, too.

Craig Mazin's ability to take advantage of the longer form is impressive and on full display in this episode. Chernobyl also did a great job of this, making each episode its own powerful vignette through multiple POV's.

@tallythwack killing off popular characters in successful shows is kind of what HBO does best.

They announced a follow-up to Demon’s Tilt, that’s the only digital pinball I’m going to need for a while.

Dragon’s Crown is that game I tell everyone they need to play, I will absolutely pay attention anytime this studio has something to show. Bring it on!!

Add that to the fact all batteries get worse over time, harrrrd pass

I just don’t get hyped anymore. Less disappointment, more happy surprises.

It has to be a big blow to everyone involved, including Sony with their exclusivity deal (and a PS5 library that could certainly use the bolstering).

@InternetUser what haha

easily one of the best games on PS5

@Stonecold easily the most accessible game in the series, whoever is putting that information out in a review is bad at their job.

It’s such a good game, enjoyed it more than MH:W.

Ahh, the nebulous realm of IP law. You can direct the entire game and still not be considered a creator of the IP, which is what's being adapted. He's certainly not the owner of the IP. Unfortunately, that's all the law would look to in this situation. I fail to see how unionization would help in his situation, it works very similarly in TV show production and animation production. Both predominantly unionized.
