Life is too short to replay RPGs. I always dislike when I cannot do everything on first run or when things unlock only after credits roll. Yes, I accept I won't see "other choices" but that's life...

@LikelySatan Original Sin. But it reminds me I didn't finished Divine Divinity also...

I'm looking forward this game, but ...man... I don't steal time. While clearing my backlog I'm at Divinity 1. Note I'm completely avoiding endless (GaaS) games.

Singleplayer... nothing else matters...

Now singleplayer Predator please.

Heavy drugs they take in Ubisoft... heavy...

I still don't get why 30 or 60 fps is a thing...

Shave him, cut off hair, throw him into old motor oil ... and it will work.

@Dodoo I know. I just pointed out math they used...

@Dodoo 1000x8=8000

How about God of War with Kratos, say that GoW5 and Ragnarok was just a (players) nightmare that never happened, and continue his journey wirh Blades of Chaos.

@Czar_Khastik You hit the nail!

It didn't help. My PS5 is still shaking when disc start spinning.

Ohh f***!!! Now easter eggs offends you??? Why do someone still care about those offended??? Try to understand that sarcasm, fun of myself, joking, black humor and so on is just for fun and not meant seriously. And if you take it seriously, than you got problem and should search for medical treatment. Howg.

BTW I'd love to get new Guitar Hero or Rockband...

I always like when online features dies in singleplayer games. So actualy here EA does us a favour.

@Bagwag82 Of course it is personal. But in Forespoken, Immortals of Avenum, etc. it is also bad scenario.

@Bagwag82 design of character. Lots of characters are weirdly designed now. They are trying to create ultrarealistic, but most different characters right now and it looks so artificial I just don't want to play game with it. I don't know how to specify it more.

Easy answer. No store has QA or any type of uploaded program check. And if so, there is no one who know games. WipEout is so iconic even newborn recognizes it.

@Bagwag82 If you have badly written story or personality so your (or else) character makes illogical acts it must drive you crazy, doesn't it? Or if character is "so proud" of itself and selfish then you want to wake him up, no? Yes, you can pretend you are playing main villain, but it doesn't work in most of times.

I'd like to get some PS1,PS2 and PS3 emulator. I'll just insert my (above mentioned) playstation disc and can play my game.

@Bagwag82 Yes, it is only a game, but if you are watching have to watch ugly characters or their behavior feels like they need punch in face it is hard to have some fun.

@Bagwag82 There are characters in games you just don't want to care about. (Immortals of Avenum, TLOU, Forspoken, Intergalactic...)

I love Tekken 3 .... where you only care about winning or loosing fight...

I don't want to be banned, so I'll try to say it politely. STOP MAKING SERVER BASED GAMES !!!

and message for gamers
STOP BUYING SERVER BASED GAMES !!!

I think both sides are well informed and so there is no place for another complaints.

If they rather put it on store instead of subscribtion...

@Rich33 Combat was one huge mess in remake. That is why I stopped playing it. In original were quick but clear fights, where you could plan what to do. In remake they made chaos, where most of time you don't know what is happening.

Some games just need to be left untouched... (remembering FF7R massacre)

I wish DS2 good road. This just isn't for me, so I'll pass it as same as DS1, but if I someday should put my hands on, definitely it would be physical.

@Oram77 Yes I know. And that is the problem of every new game. Maybe it is crazyness but world really needs some stand-alone agency that would certificate digital product for release guarantying product is working smoothly without major bugs.

Hey! I've paid £2 few months back for this! Couldn't they just drop patch to keep offline mode? I've barely completed first mission. ...the heck...

I always wonder why developers don't use QA anymore...

@Oram77 Think about difference between bad game and good game forced to be sliced to run on weak machine.

Since I play games (hell it's almost 40 years) I was rather angry some games are only available elsewhere and I have to buy another machine. When I got that machine I've never said myself "Ohh I'm glad only this machine can play it." So I rather feel sadness for those who have different machine and cannot play this game only because of company that holds its property...

I hope they don't forget games are not about graphics but about fun.

Sorry, but I don't trust them a word.

Hmmm... It is hard to say something objective, because I'm die hard fan of Diablo series. OK. ...If I put aside absolute zero replay ability D4 is average game. Story is sometimes rather annoying and artificially prolonged, characters are flat and a few times I just catched myself I don't want to help them. Even if I've finished it 2x I still didn't catch chaotic story. On the other hand side quests are fun and catchy. Unfortunately you have just one chance to enjoy them and exploration at all. Once you explore fixed map, there is no surprise anymore and there is no way how to reset progress (map). Don't care about skills or equip, because anything you pick or equip somehow works, so you don't need to think about it.

I can just say, enjoy lifetime chance to walkthrough D4. You'll never get another shot.

I've enjoyed mine and now there is only sadness I cannot relive it again (unless I would create another fake PSN account)

Warning! Don't connect to someone's else game unless you know he is also starting for a first time. Otherway your map sync and exploration is ruined.

If you want to argue digital sales raise, you must say also physical versions are not released!!!

These misleading articles drives me crazy!!!

It is like saying "Only 4% of customers in Europe buys plastic straws with soft drinks." and fact that 96% producers don't include other option than paper straw is NOT said.

Reaction was not overblown, rather standard.

MS is shooting into it's foot for long time. From Windows 7 to Xbox Series they are pioneers in implementation of inventions or restrictions that makes customers angry on them.

OK, I want it, but what the hell is this software's purpose without export?

Even Square Enix must admit that fights in FF16 or FF7R is one huge mess that is not fun to play at all, rather pretty annoying. Milions of effects and flashes, but you absolutely don't know what is happening.

I don't like that model, where any content is provided only for limited time. That is why I even don't think about it.

D4 is fun for first walkthrough, unfortunately it completely misses any need for replaying or trying different character.

@LogicStrikesAgain When it doesn't reflect at least inflation, it has weight of feather.

So in other words "We have made graph that looks good but is misleading as most as it can."

If Xbox turn more to PC I'm in. I really don't care much about graphics and if new Xbox is able to run GOG there is plenty of games for few pennies and that endless struggle to connect notebook to TV by cables all over the room ends...

C'mon Sony... Scrap it as same as Failgames and move on... 🤦

I think transition from turn-based combat to realtime chaos was not a good move. Also some locations are too big to keep good flow of story. I've enjoyed it, but I rather run FF7 original than FF15 or 16.

@PuppetMaster Yes, I cannot say nothing against facts. Also fact is, lots of players were "stolen" from SP to MP by free to play concept. Lots of poor children got game for "free" so why they should buy game? And that changed mentality of customers so their wallets are rather sliced like gyros than asked for full price. Also development of MP is easier because you don't care about story. Main problem around MP is it's way more risky, because results are shown quick. MP players don't care if game is fixed sometime in future, they want it now and if not, game dies immediately. But if SP game is made properly, it may be milking cow too (look at TLoU, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Diablo 2, Final Fantasy...) it is only about passion. If you have passion you can make unique MP games like Helldivers 2 or Space Marine 2, but if you think only about money, you end up with Concord, Marathon or Failgames... ehm ...Fairgames.

BTW lots of popular MP have also strong SP content.

@PuppetMaster Difference is, SP games are expected to be one time wonder. So after completion you need to buy another. MPs are (delusionaly) expected to last for long time. So no completion and therefore no need to buy another game. Result - when SP bombs it rises elbows but at least you are safe relatively, when MP bombs, people want money back because your product is absolutely useless. Yes, when MP NOT-bomb it is miracle, but still requires maintenance, ergo more money. MP world has reached it's peak long time ago and it is only about dragging players from corner to corner. SP is about attracting as much as you can, but you are not limited by time. For example I bought KC:D 1 yesterday and I still can play it. Would I want to buy for example Friday 13th? Hardly...

Ohh that shaking camera is stop sign.
