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.

I am definitely double dipping on this one. I can't wait for this to land on PC and actually get the recognition it deserves.

@MasterChiefWiggum haha that display pic. Mona DECENT.

I’m a little bit worried they’re too all-in on PSVR2 in the current economic climate. I also wonder what effect the whole Metaverse thing is having on those who don’t already have buy in to the idea. VR sales overall shrank in 2022 by quite a fair amount.

@danlk1ng haha you are the one looking for drama by injecting yourself into this conversation in the manner you've chosen to do so. He's allowed to state his opinion, just as much as I am allowed to call out his lack of perspective on the matter, just like you're free to start whatever s$%! you want on the internet. And so the cycle continues.

@trev666 my mistake, didn't realize their site gives Canadian currency, it's 130$ CAD.

@Cyberpsycho the Xbox accessibility controller is around 150$ USD I think, but it also requires some add ons in a lot of cases, so the price can be more than that depending on the person's needs. The Sony device seems to be more or less the same idea with a core peripheral that can also accept some breakout devices. I know here in Canada, you can actually get funding for a lot of stuff like this to help offset the costs, but that would probably vary per country.

@danlk1ng if a person wants to buy an accessible device because they think it'll be fun, or they're a real big fan of the manufacturer, that's fine. But to call the design confusing when it was designed for an entirely different person with different motor skills and abilities, that deserves calling out in my opinion. I'm not creating drama, just suggesting you shouldn't comment like that on something when the design CLEARLY isn't made for an able bodied individual to play fighting games or arcade games on. I stand 100% behind my original comment.

@PlayStationGamer3919 the design looks a little confusing? Are you in any way an expert on accessible design? If not, you should probably just not say stuff like that. This thing isn't for you.

I would love to see this end up being a survival multiplayer game like Rust, Valheim, The Forest, etc.

@Titntin well said, feel the same way

Returnal and Rift Apart are still my top 2 PS5 exclusives.

lol sonic fans are out of control

Stoked for Axiom Verge 2!

Solid list! I think for me it’s Tunic, Inscryption and Cult of the Lamb in no particular order.

Nobody cares about your platinums, don’t play this crap just to pad some numbers.

Great list, I love seeing Cult of the Lamb make some of these. It’s interesting to me what games win the awards and what games people ACTUALLY remember and talk about for years to come.

Good to see Cult of the Lamb in this list, I had a lot of fun with that one too.

I couldn't get through the Miles Morales stuff because it just got way too same-y. My hopes are not high for Spider-Man 2 to be some sort of revolutionary departure from the first one and a half.

Haha these comments crack me up, remember how TRIGGERED y’all got at TLOU2?! Maaan. That was a tantrum for the ages.

All that VO talent must have been a huge chunk of this game’s budget.

Oh, the entitlement in that tweet is next level.

Didn’t Forspoken get a demo launch on PS5? I don’t see any articles about it.

This launched alongside Midnight Suns and Callisto Protocol and is probably the best of the three, and yet got the least amount of attention.

This list is busted.

lol, everyone really leaning into this whole “Twitter is now somehow worse than before” thing

No (ample) warning is totally unacceptable IMO, especially for long RPG’s, terrible precedent to set.
