@Gaia093 Anything can have a great adaptation, no matter the material. I mean League of Legends turned out great and it's just a MOBA. But without the necessary budget, there is only so much one can do.

Absolutely fine as a fan-made video. Anything more than that, not so much.

@Elodin I feel bad that I never beat that game. It was truly wonderful.

Awesome! This sounds so much better than the previous games.

@Oram77 how does it affect your experience exactly? Games cost more than they used to and this is one way to offset costs. The fact that it's optional makes all the difference.

@Oram77 no, actually, it shouldn't. Extra content costs extra resources. The main game is expected to offer a complete experience. If you want more than that, there is DLC. If you don't, you can stick to the main game.

Now, if you play the main game and feel like it doesn't tell the full story because they're saving it for DLC, then it would be fair to question their decision.

Shame. This one looked quite promising.

That… that’s it?

Nope. Samey or not, I've really enjoyed all the first part games I've played, especially God of War.

@mantalon sure, buddy. All the adults who played and loved Astro Bot apparently didn’t get the memo.

Looks really fun to me, though I can't play fps games, so I hope others give it a chance and greatly enjoy it.

@Fandabidozi2025 wow. I had no idea. Thanks!

@MKD88 beat me to it.

@PuppetMaster "Sounds like a you problem since you've been talking sh*t about the game for months and now you're acting as if no one play the game lol."

It'd make sense, as that's how algorithms work, right?

I was in as soon as I saw Storm, but Phoenix? My heart can only take so much. I need a release date already!

@SMJ it is? That's news to me anyway.

@Jammer riiiight.

The desperation for relevance is quite sad to watch.

Don’t play with my heart

@LifeGirl chasing profit through less than ethical means is one thing, what's happening with Saudi Arabia is far worse.

@Runex2121 thanks for the clarification. Might & Magic is by far my favourite franchise, so it was a bit surprising to hear.

@Runex2121 wait, Might and Magic was EA? I recall 3DO and Ubisoft?

Terrible news. I'll leave it at that.

Guardians of the Galaxy!

I don't recall which one of you guys recommended it, but I'm loving it so far. I gave it a try a year ago, but it didn't wow me from the little that I played so I dropped it for something else. I'm glad I returned to it. It has so much soul!

@Shigurui no. Not every company. Some have integrity and morals.

I want all the Kratos ones, but they're way too expensive for me.

One of the worst ideas they've ever had, especially right after cancelling PS Starts. That alone made it far worse.

@LifeGirl the same PS2 that was pirated to death? The machine that was the cheapest option to play DVDs? Apples to oranges indeed.

@ButterySmooth30FPS there’s a whole lot of us who feel this way. But people who have negative things to say are simply louder.

So your reward is the ability to purchase something. Lovely.

Another Black Mirror episode

As long as it's not Chris Pratt, I'm good.

Oh, man. This has all the elements I love in a video game. So looking forward to it. Being a roguelite makes it an absolute must for me, after realizing I love the genre.

Other they mostly annoying puzzles, God of War is peaking gaming. Excellent story, brilliant voice acting, the most satisfying gameplay (for me, anyway) and the list goes on. It's simply unparalleled.

If they keep the reboot direction, I'm all in. If they change it up, I'm still gonna be there day 1.

@PuppetMaster I really don't think the average gamer is aware of that.

Man, that simply sounds fascinating! I’m totally sold

@Rich33 I don’t think the average gamer cares that much about the tactical advantage. They don’t know the first thing about specs. Only that their friends are gaming on x console and that’s more than enough for them.

@Ricky-Spanish that’s one way to live your life. You be you, boo. As for stressing me, hilarious.

@LifeGirl confirmation bias at its finest. There is room for both.

@Oram77 nah. I (and I'm sure many others) watch for the story. I've watched a ton of anime and this is really special to me. Even when I don't watch it, at random times certain major events pop to mind.

Hope it doesn't leave cinemas in my country so that I can watch it in a week or so.

@Ricky-Spanish you keep saying that and people keep telling you how it affects you as a consumer. If you don't want to listen to reason, then you can at least ignore these articles.

Some of us had been saying this for a while, yet people insisted that porting all those games was worth it. Even now I'm sure some people won't change their mind.

Anyway, that's business. You try something and if it doesn't work out, you move on.

i don't mind it at all. I just want to see it succeed.

@Northern_munkey I just watched a gameplay video of kill Knight and it looks ace, but, if it's too difficult, I fear I may break my psportal...

Dead souls always looked interesting to me, but I (shamefully) refused to play it due to its graphics. It felt weird to pay all that money for a TV and a ps5 and to play a game that could have come out decades ago. Now with psportal and after experiencing the awesomeness of Vampire Survivors I've changed my mind and can finally appreciate a fine game like Dead Cells. So, thanks for reminding of its existence. I just downloaded it and will give a go

@Kierant202 that was ages ago.

@Brynjir who were you trying to respond to exactly?

All I know is that I haven't bought or played any of them. I'm waiting for the complete collection to come out.

@Propaperpusher the exact opposite happened to me. I had no idea I liked this weird genre until I played Hades (1). Now it's all I want to play. But I get what you mean.

@Northern_munkey Oh, man! How awesome is that? Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, it's pretty addictive and well made. Currently playing Nerd survivors, which I find quite enjoyable, but far from great. It lacks a decent budget so it heavily relies on being impossible to beat unless you grind to death just to beat the second stage (which is the same as the first one, but more difficult)

I'll never get tired of singing the first game's praises. It was simply brilliant.

Two things I found particularly annoying:

1. If your controller runs out of battery, the game doesn't pause, which can be infuriating if you're in a tough spot.

2. Because everything is so random, so is triggering certain conversations to get certain rewards and trophies. I got all trophies apart from one and then spent countless hours beating the game over and over again, because I simply didn't know why a certain character wouldn't show up in my room to give me something. Thankfully, right before losing my sanity, it finally happened.

Which reminds me, I should simply play and forget about trophies or being a completionist. The dialogues were so varied and fun that I couldn't let it go.

@Cikajovazmaj “ the other is a scripted tech demo that can be beaten by holding pressed forward”
