@SterlingEyes Love Balatro! Bought it on sale for my PS5 but decided it was better for my phone and purchased it again. Great game during business travel!
When you work and have a social life, gaming time typically amounts to 5-10 hours a week on weeknights before going to bed. I’ve stopped buying games Day One because I don’t have time to play and have a huuuuuuuuge backlog.
@trev666 It’s hard to consider reporting about Xbox at PushSquare an obsession when they have to report about Xbox news that impacts PlayStation, such as this news right here.
I was in college and rented a PlayStation and Saturn from the local Blockbuster. The roofers at my apartment didn’t seal the roof properly and it rained, causing the wet insulation to collapse my ceiling. Being able to see up into the rafters in my living room was pretty creepy, so I wanted to test out horror games.
In one of the most unfair side by sides I went D for Saturn and Resident Evil for PlayStation. I bought a PlayStation the next week.
@RoomWithaMoose I would totally pay for a digital version that changed expressions. I’d pay double if devs could develop it to be responsive in games…like a look of fear in a RE game or joy in an Astrobot one.
The only thing consistent with Pachter is him being wrong 90% of the time. However, “…committed to supporting Haven Studios and excited to continue the journey” does not equate to the game still being in development.
He seems to have increased his output capabilities, but I think that’s more team based. It always concerns me when it’s straight Kojima. It’s almost like he has analysis paralysis.
I’m just happy Microsoft helped Sony out of PlayStation’s live service quagmire by filling the game release gap PlayStation created with Xbox (former) exclusives.
Early in the polling, but it’s looking positive. I would actually stop following the wind to engage in some patrol battles for S&Gs. I found it very enjoyable.
The annual game shows were always a highlight of the year for me. Some were good, some were bad, all at their own levels, but overall they were fun and exciting times. The times have changed. That’s life.
Really enjoyed it on PSVR but never completed it. Being able to drop in on conversations throughout the play through was unique since multiple conversations take place at the same time. Need it in PSVR 2 though
It’s a live service game that benefits from more users. I have zero problems with it releasing on Xbox. Games like these are meant to be released to mass audiences. Sony tentpoles would be different but not this.
The real question is how well will it sell on Xbox. Take it for what it is but a lot of the reason for the recent layoffs is GamePass is not sustainable in its current state. They need PC and PlayStation to offset the losses and when that turns out to not be enough, layoffs take place. This is the fourth to hit Xbox in the last 18 months, with each being a necessary step to strengthen the brand. At some point it should become apparent that the brand is beyond strengthening.
@Fiendish-Beaver You can solo missions or go with up to 3 others in co-op. To get the best upgrade materials you’ll need to up the difficulty level and want a team. Otherwise you’re capped at the materials and upgrades from farming low level materials. The harder the level, the harder the swarms. Oh, and start with the bugs.
Bloomberg report makes it sound like the layoffs are turning into mass chaos with people being locked out of accounts with no notifications of what their status is. What a dumpster fire Xbox has become.
I was going to wait for a sale, but decided the price point and developer support warranted a full price purchase. No regrets. Just started Act 2 and am loving the game.
After my team’s performance last season this will be a hard pass. I’ll continue to play 25 based on the unrealistic expectations that make my team not just playable, but somewhat dominant.
I think I’m a wee bit more excited to see the Xbox showcase to see their multiplat releases. Kinda like watching EA or Ubisoft now. Also curious if they’ll stick to what they said about being transparent about what’s releasing where.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
The Returnal expansion looms very Returnal, which isn’t a bad thing but hopefully we’ve moved past the rogue lite or whatever that genre is.
Insomniac has my faith, so Wolverine is Day One.
Flight Simulator with PSVR2 support? I wanted this and it’s happening! And VR support is post launch, so it’ll most likely be on sale when I get it.
Those 3 made it a good showcase for me.
