@Pat_trick @Shinnok789 I’m very aware of that. It was what we in the business call “a joke.”

I hope he decides he’s also 60fps and updates the game to reflect that about himself.

Yeah, Veilguard was definitely the biggest failure, more so than Anthem.

Anthem likely lost them less money and got fewer people laid off. The fact the servers weren’t shut off before this is rather telling.

@SMJ …Sony and Nintendo are the dominant console makers with MS trailing a fairly distant third at this point.

Why would Sony get out of the console market? They’re actually selling consoles.

Further proof MS should just get out of the hardware business and focus on games. They mostly do those very right.

I mean, it sorta seems like they’re doing so ANYWAY, really. Can’t deny they make good games, and I’d love to see Horizon 5 also come to Switch 2.

Hopefully Horizon 6 has cross-save/progression baked in, so I can bring my progress over from XBox (where I’ll be playing it courtesy of the last 3 month gamepass card I’m holding onto) when I buy 6 for PS5.

Well, this went off the rails, and I’m happy to see both sides of the discussion being civil as always. >.>

That said, Detroit is a good game and I look forward to seeing what they finally do next after years of no discernible output.

…calling it a “gooner shooter” is a LITTLE on the nose, is it not?

That aside, aren’t these the devs who were all “oh nooooo, we can’t release on PC, people might mod our character to look sexy!!!”

Somehow I’m unsurprised this is a buggy mess.

This is definitely a major yawn from me, but glad for those who want to play it.

I got more entertainment from Fleekazoid’s Avowed video than I could ever get from the game itself!

Launch PS5 owners: “First time?”

@Vyse_the_Legend Which is kinda funny as I bought it for way less than list price physically, so they definitely didn’t get what they originally asked for it.

But they DID get a sale from me, so mission accomplished I guess?

@Jammer A Switch 2 can be connected to any tv with HDMI, 4k or not.

“We’re afraid of bankruptcy, please buy our game! This could be our last hurrah!” turned to “Eh, we don’t need to sell more games like this on other platforms, we’re good.” VERY quickly.

Seeing this list of games just makes me sad.

@Flaming_Kaiser I took advantage of their free shipping over the holidays. It was very pleasant!

@11001100110zero May the odds be ever in your favor. LRG was decent back in the day, but they’ve had so many issues and delays.

Plus there’s the little matter of that Shadow statue a month or so ago…

@Flaming_Kaiser I know, but if I can give almost ANYONE but LRG money, I try to! Plus I have some credit with them after my Christmas purchases of Fantasy Life i for myself and a friend along with some other games.

@Nei Knowing LRG, your time with it will be delayed to mid-2027.

This will be the only game that gets me to spend money with LRG in years.

I hate this company, but unless PlayAsia gets it in stock for a comparable price, I guess I’ll have to do business with them.

This worries me. Just make it for the Japanese audience, don’t westernize it. Anytime I hear about making a game series “more accessible” it never goes well.

P3-5 were successes on their own merits. Atlus is clearly doing SOMETHING right.

The best way to get people to stop calming something “slop” is to whine about people calling it that.

ALWAYS works every time.

I bought the Switch version as well, hoping for a Switch 2 upgrade in the near future. Hopefully this is the precursor to that happening!

I mean, I own the game on PS4 disc and 4/5 digital, as well as Series X disc..why not quadruple dip?

@ThatOneLevel I would buy the hell out of that, unironically.

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of it, bouncing from PS to Switch 2 thanks to cross-save. Well worth anyone’s time for sure!

@AdamNovice The point is that Rockstar will make an impressive game that, like GTA5 on the PS3, will make other developers go, “How did they do that?!?” and then try to do it. Thus hopefully making more games that take fuller advantage of the current hardware.

Meh. We still haven’t truly pushed the limits of the PS5. Devs have brute-forced most instances.

I have the feeling GTA 6 is going to come out and light a fire under a LOT of developer’s rears to finally take full advantage of both the PS5 and Series X’s capabilities. We sure haven’t seen it in 99.99% of the games this generation.

I feel no need for a PS5 or a whatever-asinine-name-XBox-goes-with anytime soon.

“It’s too expensive!”

…do you KNOW how many quarters were fed into those machines back in the day? Everyone turning their nose up at this based on the price truly make me laugh.

@PerpetualBoredom Because only rich people use AI for things?

What a stupid statement.

Studios just need to shut up and not tell people this stuff.

That’s it. That’s all. “It’s none of your business what tools we used to make this game.”

cries in not-far-enough-into-the-series

…I am HERE for this. Such a good game.

This remake is a masterpiece and I’m so looking forward to the next one.

Speaking as a series X owner who also owns Starfield on disc…we PS folk aren’t missing much. Unless you’re a massive, massive Bethesda fan, you’re honestly okay without this game in your life.

Can. Not. Wait.

Yakuza 3 was the first Yakuza game I ever played, and I am looking forward to this a lot.

@Nalim Well now you do, as I was able to upgrade for $1.99 the day it was released.

Marathon-in-name-only will be about a 0.4 on the Concord scale. Where 0 is a total and complete success and 1 is…well, Concord.

Update for physical owners as well? I can’t test at the moment as I'm at work!

Concord: “We killed a studio and cost Sony at least $300 million!”

Highguard: “Hold my mead.”

At least this thing is free to play. It’ll shamble on a while after release before collapsing. It won’t be a full Concord but it’ll be about 0.7 Concords on the Concord Fail Scale. Maybe 0.6 depending on the final budget.

“What gullible fools. We’ll release in December 2029, WELL before 2030!”

I read this headline without knowing what the heck a gong was. I VERY much misunderstood it…

@Balaam_ Unwarranted? That’s an odd way to describe a game that has near universal accolades, was made on a $10 million budget, is incredibly well done and supported and was worth every penny I spent on it.

LotF 1 (technically 2) has been on my backlog for ages, but dang 2 (technically 3) looks really good. Might have to move this up my backlog list.

If those non-limited-edition ones were mechanical, I might be tempted. Sadly the second hand points out that they’re quartz.

I’d love a PS themed mechanical but I’ve already got a ton of regular quartz watches, including a Pac-Man themed Timex. I’ll pass on these, sadly.

Hopefully this will be a movie-Sonic-result and the actual remaster will match the original designs. Because wow that trailer was god-awful in how it looked.

Picked this up for $20 on clearance at Target, looks like I was right to wait!

“Why is now the right time to tie the game into the movie?”

“Because a new movie is coming out.”

@Slayer25c That response couldn’t be any more stereotpically zoomer if you tried.

Also, saying that a reviewer or commenters that don’t like a basically 2d JRPG are “pass” their prime is rather hilarious, given that most of them likely cut their teeth on this style of game before you were old enough to walk.

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this on my Switch 2 off and on. Really should pick it up for PS5, too!

It’s a resolution boost and image quality improvement for zero dollars.

Gamers are impossible to please.

@Drax007 A-freaking-men. Some of the English VAs are pretty decent but Kiryu is a COMPLETE miscast. That alone removed any desire I had to ever listen to an English LAD again.

@SeaDaVie There are western so-called “fans” who don’t understand why things in these games are the way they are and want them to be changed to cater to their sensibilities. This never ever goes well, and it’s usually people who don’t even play the games that are the complainers.

Damn right. They should make ZERO concessions to demands from the west for any kind of changes. Yakuza/LAD is great as it is and RGG knows what they’re doing.

@Vipor007 Let me know if you see an example sometime, then.
