@nessisonett yes, unfortunately a native version is what I’d want

I’d rather a PS5 version of Origins

@Barry_vV I used to like a challenge in games, but as I’ve gotten older I prefer a little more of a chill experience. Adventure, exploration, cool powers/moves. I like the combat, it reminds me of Rise of the Ronin quite a bit. I just don’t have the reflexes or the patience I used to have.

So, I’m playing on easy mode bc I’m not very good at these types of games. That said, I find the regular enemies to be pretty easy. I can usually button mash my way through them. The bosses are a difficulty spike, though. I usually die 3 or 4 times before I can beat them. The bridge boss took me like 10 tries. I would’ve given up, but my last save was a long time prior to that so I stuck with it. At least it’s not too easy for me!

I’ve preordered my physical copy

Oh well. Can we get dark descent 2?

Sniper Elite is good, but probably the weakest entry in the series. Felt like a step back from #5.

I know it’s based on a video game, but I hope movie talk is limited going forward. I’d prefer not to see this site turn into IGN.

Wait until they patch in “…exclusively on Xbox” on the end of that

So they chose to remake a game nobody wanted remade instead of one everyone wanted remade. …and some people wonder why this industry is suffering. Literally nobody listens to the customers.

Are hairstyle changes locked behind a paywall? Or are they just certain hairstyles? Seems like the ultimate edition is mostly cosmetics, but the mod shops and salon have me a little concerned about not getting the “full game” without paying more.

I remember when they nerfed that shotgun shortly after launch. Turned a fun game into a bit of a slog, IMO. Bonkers they’re still messing with it.

They’ll simply call it “PlayStation” then they’ll go around saying everything’s a PlayStation

As mentioned in the article, just delay physical releases by a week or two. I’ve got stuff to play in the meantime.

…hence the headlines about Sony backing out of PC ports earlier today. They’re not putting their games on Xbox.

@DennisReynolds all the more reason to buy physical lest your game is delisted, no?

@Frmknst I paid the full 70 for Yotei and sold it on eBay for 50. I don’t know why ANYONE would prefer digital. I guess they have money to burn.

Bring it. I loved Origins.

Competition is good. Honestly, LaD has gotten a little stale. The stories are still good, but the mini games and whatnot are getting so predictable. There will always be a crew/team builder like sujimon, always a kart/motorcycle racer, etc. I still love the games, but I’d like some innovation.

@lazarus11 yeah, that’s a part of the reason I want a fast travel system, there’s nothing interesting to do but dodge zombies in between point A and B. It’s just a bit of a slog, and I really enjoyed 1 and 2. There’s just something off with this one

@lazarus11 for me it’s a lack of fast travel of some sort. When I accept a quest and it wants me to go all the way across the map it makes me want to play something else. I don’t even need fast travel to every safe zone, even just the main hubs would help a lot.

To be fair, God of War has ALWAYS been about vengeance and grief

A dynasty warriors remake is really kinda weird if you think about it…. Every entry has been a remake of sorts

I really tried to like this game, and while it looked amazing the combat wasn’t fun and it was just kinda boring

I’m excited to play this mostly because I never got to see the changes b/w the original 1 + 2 and the kiwamis since I never played the originals. I played #3 so I’ll get to see the differences though s time!

If the game doesn’t end with a character crying about how they’re unlovable or how they want someone to take them out so they don’t have to go home it’s a failure 😆

Microsoft has painted themselves into corner here, if they end gamepass now everyone will bail from their platform, so they’re going to ride this until they’re ready to just be a publisher.

Not hating on this game as it will probably be pretty good, but it’s so far from being the most exciting game of ‘26 for me I had forgotten this existed until I saw this article.

I bought it. Enough people have said it’s pretty good AND it’s an easy platinum. Hopefully they’ll be releasing some patches before I get to it.

GTA IV was my favorite, day one purchase if they do it

I really don’t see why anyone has a problem with this. You can resell a cd key. No disc, no resell, so I’m still happy.

I just want a way to play Scarface without tracking down a ps2 or an xbox

Can’t wait, I’ve never been disappointed in a BL game. Dialogue and story, ok, but I’m not really playing for that. Give me crazy guns!!!

Dark Arisen came out some length of time after DD, iirc

The game looks gorgeous, and I like big open worlds so I’m definitely going to play it. I’ve got to get through KCD2 first, though

I watched some gameplay on YT, I think I’m going to wait for reviews first. The lack of traditional quests concerns me a bit.

Dragon Age was in my personal top 5 for ‘24. I thought it was a lot fun, and it was a fairly easy platinum too. I’m not going to tell anyone that their reasons for not playing it are not valid, but if you’re not opposed to some of the subject matter I think you’ll enjoy it.

I kinda like the silly spin off idea in between mainline releases. It (kinda) fills the void saints row left behind when it comes to over the top silliness.

I enjoy hearing about games that I otherwise never would’ve known about. Btw, I would dispute Astro Bot’s GotY status.

We could’ve got a days gone sequel, but instead we get nothing. Sony makes no money. Dumb all the way around.

I’ll play it, I only got a few hours into it the first time, kinda regret not finishing

I set mine up to do just platinums that way I don’t have to rifle through thousands of screenshots to get to the ones I took myself

I could be wrong, but wasn’t Sony counting the codes bundled with ps5s for HZfW as sales for the game? There was a shortage of ps5s at the time, so millions of those sales are due to bundles that people really didn’t want. Well, a lot of them, anyway. I think Sony thinks it’s a bigger hit than it is.

I don’t have time to keep up with a PC, I think. I prefer a plug and play option. That’s just me.

@CVCubbington yes, keep going, it gets darker, more claustrophobic and filled with dread. It’s a bit of a slow burn.

Great list, no argument here. I’d probably put dragon age in my top 5, personally.

@Wakkawipeout I play indie games, but I need to feel pretty certain there won’t be a physical release in 6 months to a year later before I buy them. I really try to wait for them to wind up on ps+ if I can.

@elvisfan1 how is it cheaper? I paid $79 for Alan wake 2 physical, played it, and sold it on ebay for $60. I wound up paying $20 for something the digital only people paid $70 for. Definitely not cheaper.

Difficulty options? I stink at soulslikes, I was kinda under the impression that this was a bit easier, but it’s not. I’ve wasted $60 at this point as I can’t even get out of the first area 😂

@BrotherFilmriss lazily, I was hoping for a couple of easy “basically just play the game” platinums, oh well 😂
