@Westernwolf4 after playing and loving Hades, I'm tempted to try Bastion, Transistor and Pyre, since I own them all. Which one would you say is their best?

@LifeGirl "The PS5 is a dinosaur compared to even a basic gaming PC."

Now that's funny to say the least.

@Deljo yes, yes. Inclusive of everyone including former members of Axis, because that's totally the point.

@mac_da_man wonderful to hear that you enjoyed Hellblade 1+2. I'll likely wait for a price cut before getting Hellblade 2 myself.

Still playing Hades. It's an awesome game that I can't recommend highly enough. The more I play, the more it surprises me with things I didn't expect to see in a rogeulike.

I'm quite close to getting the platinum, but I will keep playing it till I unlock everything (btw, this never happens to me).

I'll buy Hades II day 1 when it comes to ps5.

@Mattock1987 yeah, if you got "interactive screensaver than a game", then it's definitely not for you, man.

@LikelySatan they certainly do. Both Steam and Switch are currently strong competition.

@twitchtvpat They weren't allowed to.

@KundaliniRising333 true. Though Concord ended up selling zero copies (since everyone got a refund) as opposed to Destiny. Unless Bungie hasn't made any money, so that argument would also go out of the window 😂

@CP2 "Probably the number one reason PlayStation is doing so well is because Xbox is doing so poorly."

That's not the reason. No product becomes desirable or a success because of lack of competition. Consumers buy whatever they consider a good product. Hence why so many first party games on playstation flop even when they have very little competition. Also, why PSVR1 +2 failed even though Nintendo and Xbx offered no alternative. Or why similarly Apple Vr failed.

Lack of competition does not guarantee success.

As for third party games, yes, that's where most of Sony's revenue comes from. But in order to get that, they had to make sure ps5 was a console gamers wanted to buy. The huge success of ps4 and (ps3 towards the end of its life) strengthened the brand enough to make ps5 seem like a good purchase.

@Dodoo same here. Reading magazines after E3 was such a treat!

@Dodoo I think E3 charged way too much, so publishers gradually decided it wasn't worth it.

@AdamNovice Thundercats was literally the first thing that came to mind as soon as watched the trailer. One can hope.

@Fartingale one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Especially the level with no guns.

Thanks for the heads up. Been playing Plucky Squire on psportal for a while and I think I'll try to beat it before it leaves the service. An absolute gem!!!

I can finally play the Spider-man DLC! Really stoked.

@Goob yup. Remember that broken clock that was right not once but twice in a single day?

@TruestoryYep sure, buddy

@Lup they’re blinded by hate. Same with the latest Superman movie.

Nah, if it had done well, Ubi would have shared numbers of copies sold instead of numbers of players. As an internet expert on all things, I won’t be fooled /s

@Scarface82G1 because most likely only the vocal minority would vote

@Flaming_Kaiser you’re absolutely right.

@Dan12836666 at least they seem to have learned their lesson considering all the GaaS games they cancelled.

@Dan12836666 I feel the same way about them, though I understand them from a business point of view.

@bizzysgs "The only reason playstation is thriving right now is because Xbox dug themselves so deep in the grave that not even an incompetent sony can save them."

Yeah, it's not like Sony released any good games on ps4 that helped solidify the brand. It was 100% xbx messing up. Nor did they release any good games on ps5, apparently, no matter what critics and sales suggest.

@PloverNutter my neighbour is also right. Doesn't mean we need to quote him for stating what most of us have been saying.

@Dan12836666 Helldivers 2 begs to differ. And I only play single player games.

Why are we listening to Michael Pachter exactly?

Looks phenomenal! Hope it turns out great. It's one of my most anticipated games.

Still playing Hades. I now know what addiction feels like.

This is just a weird take ignoring a number of important factors.

For example, many shows were flops or underperformed on cable, then became massive success stories on Netflix (e.g. YOU, Suits). Had Sony released this movie in theaters, there is zero guarantee it would have performed as well as it did on Netflix.

@pyrrhic_victory who needs every single dlc released to enjoy the game exactly? Never understood this argument. When I used to play the Sims, I'd get a couple of expansions (The Sims Superstar comes to mind) and enjoy that instead of thinking I need to own everything.

Used to love this type of games, especially The Sims, until I found myself trying to improve my sim's stats by reading and working out while I was neither reading or working out. It hit me that I was improving my fictional self rather than my real self and immediately deleted it from my laptop and never looked back.

Anyway, inZoi looks an improvement over The Sims, but again, for me, that only makes it worse.

@homelesscretin it's best to play it with lights off and headphones. Same with Until Dawn.

Anyone else tired of all the jaw-dropping? Who knew gaming would be so painful?

@Czar_Khastik man, you're the best!

@DarianStarfrog they do matter. For one thing, your choice determines who lives and who dies. Also, if you pick a companion who’s not fit for a role you assign them, some don’t make it. In one case you can save only one town and its people. The companions treat you differently based on your choice. They also refuse to accompany you after choosing the other companion. Who’s gaslighting exactly?

@Onearmbandit thanks for sharing. I need to give Guardians of the Galaxy another chance.

Finally got the platinum for Dragon Age: Veilguard. It was truly one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Great gameplay, an engaging story, and most importantly, characters I completely fell in love with. Now that it’s over and I know I won’t get to interact with them anymore, it feels like the end of a beloved TV show. You’re left with this strange yet beautiful sense of connection to the characters, and then suddenly, it’s just gone...

Has anyone else felt that way after beating a game?

Anyway, I’m currently having a blast with Hades. It’s such an addictive game, and I’ve just realised that roguelikes are absolutely my favourite type of game.

@Oram77 the hate escalated as soon as she had a romantic relationship with another female character. Some people simply can't stand the thought not having a chance with a fictional character. After that, it snowballed. Hate, just like smiling, is infectious.

@bazchillin ok, buddy.

@Bsb56 then play games for gameplay and leave this type of games for others who enjoy them. Calling it a movie is factually incorrect whether people like it or not.

@Blaze215 you couldn't be any more wrong if you tried. Find one post where I said it's a good game. I'll wait.

@Blaze215 a comment on a game that that the commenter hasn't played isn't a serious comment.

@Scottyy "MS might close Ninja Theory and nothing of value would lost in terms of the industry"

How can you say that when people have played and enjoyed their games, including this one? It may not be for you but it is for many others. Play something you like and leave people who different tastes enjoy something different.

@Bsb56 So you don't control the character at all? You just press play and passively watch it?

@carlos82 fair enough.

@Questionable_Duck nothing unites people like hate. They don't even have to play the game, watch the money, listen to the artist.

@Questionable_Duck vert well said. I mean, The Walking Dead Season 1 (Telltale) was a huge success and is beloved by money despite its minimal gameplay. As long as it does well what it's set out to, I think it's worth playing. My only concern is that there are people who enjoyed the first but not the second.
