Everything’s fine guys… nothing to see here /s

Laufey first half of ‘27, Intergalactic second half I reckon.

@4fold that’s a good point actually, I’d be far more embarrassed by having CoD, FIFA (or EAFC whatever it’s called these days) or Fornite showing up on my profile 😁

Any idea on total sales… not just year 1 and year 6?

Never played this but I am intrigued… I might go for this.

Played this a couple of years back, I’m not really a platform fan but it was really cool tbh.

@VanninGuts Bem-vindo

Ticking over on Yakuza Kiwami 3 and might make a start on Dying Light 2 if I can find the time. Heard off @CaptD that they’ve added a third person mode recently, so sounds like the right time to finally give it a go.

@MrStark spoken like someone who was 100% sure Phil knew what he was doing too… until it became obvious that he didn’t. It amazes me people are so damn sure about things so quickly, just because it supports their inner-narrative.

Asha may turn out to be a positive for Xbox, she may not… I’ll take a bit more than 100 days before I decide either way.

Nice to see the level of wilful ignorance from ‘certain’ quarters remains in tact. It’s so ridiculous that it should be surprising… but it’s not. For the “that’s why they’re making console exclusives again” brigade… their games are failing to sell EVERYWHERE not just on PlayStation you donuts!

The discord around Yotei both in terms of DEI and it having poor sales unfortunately cast a shadow over what is an incredible game. Best game I’ve played this year by a country mile and I was left bemused by the fact that it didn’t at least earn a nom for GotY last year.

Yeah this has looked great from it’s first ever reveal… looking forward to this one!

@PuppetMaster nah the usual suspects will just spin that as Sony being anti-consumer due to its players having to buy three new games instead of just one during such dire market conditions yada yada

@For-Kier yeah as @Imaculado_Lord states, that ratio was fake news

@get2sammyb I get that but I was expecting Wolverine to pop with the casual masses more I guess… in the same way that the Spider-man games sell gangbusters. I’m sure it will sell well though albeit during an unbelievably stacked September. Thought it looked great tbh.

Kinda surprised by Laufey hitting those heights and by the fact that Wolverine was only 4th.

Well, it’s the game that I’m looking forward to most out of the two (though I do also like the look of Wolverine). I’d hazard a guess that the development budget was a fair bit bigger on Laufey too… even when accounting for the licensing fee.

Craziest month in the history of gaming. Some years haven’t been as stacked!

“Do we still have that hard drive with the PS5 version of E-Day on it? Good, good, very good… I think we may be needing it after all.”

That’s great news as far as I’m concerned.

@UltimateOtaku91 🤣 fair enough, doesn’t sound as much my bag as I’d hoped from your description but appreciated nonetheless.

Never played one of these but I quite liked what I saw from the trailer. Are they anything like the Tales of… games?

I did buy all these on ps4 but have been focussing on getting through the Final Fantasy series and haven’t had a chance to get to any of these. If they’re noticeably improved over the ps4 versions I’d probably pick this collection up and play it on ps5 instead.

As always (when the options available), I’ll buy physical.

Guess that scummy business practice that Ol’ Phil was so against finally ran out for this huh /s.

Off topic but I wonder when the money-hat for the Space Marine Remaster is up, I was expecting a 12 month but that was up on June 1st.

I must’ve missed that an Attack on Titan 3 got announced… noice!

@AgentCooper way ahead of you bud 😉

I’m just here for the damage control… it’s my favourite 😋

Still hoping for a physical for this, any news on that?

They’ll do this for a while and it will result in some growth too… highly doubtful it’ll be enough though.

I’m not sure that this is Microsoft’s final 🩴 tbh

@AgentCooper observing the mismanagement of XBOX and how their fanatics flip-flop in their ideology to tow the party line is far more entertaining than their games… always has been 😏

I’m gonna need more popcorn

@NerdyPaul you say that as if I implied other companies should… I didn’t. But the headline referred specifically to Sony losing its apparent grip and therefore my post was directed at that. Essentially I agree with you that no console maker should have a grip on third party devs/publishers… but if you couldn’t tell that from my original post I’d argue that you have difficulties reading between the lines 🤚

Sony shouldn’t have a ‘grip’ on third parties, it should be a mutually beneficial partnership and at any point if either party feels that it would be beneficial to operate independently (and are not contractually obliged otherwise) the option should be available… which appears to be the case here.

Started Mass Effect 3 yesterday, so probably a bit more of that. Having originally played (& loved) 1 & 2 on 360… my 360 RROD’d by the time 3 released and although I bought it on PS3, I never played more than a few hours for some reason. Well I’ll finally get to see how it all plays out… for better, or worse. I’m enjoying it so far though, more than I enjoyed playing the remasters of the first two too.

Painted themselves into a corner and she sounds just as confused as me as to how the hell they could paint themselves back out again.

Best course of action 🤔… about turn until the next disaster ☝️

Looks stunning fair play! I am more of a fan of the survivor trilogy than the old school TR games… but I’m still pretty hyped I can’t lie.

Bought it not long after it released, still to play it though.

With Forza 6 delayed on ps5, this just came in Clutch 😆… I’ll get my coat 😔

Dear friend @ozkrmz, we need more of you around here, I love your energy! 🫶

I don’t already own any of the 3 and am at least a little interested in 2 of them (Darktide & Grounded)… honestly can’t complain.

Dragon Age 2 - now I remember being really excited for this back in 2011… and then playing most of it wondering what the hell were BioWare thinking. It’ll be interesting to return to it all these years later with far lower expectations. Also, Origins will be far more fresher in the mind this time around having replayed it just last year, so my own comparisons will be more fair this time.

@trev666 Microsoft spent almost $100 billion buying up the industry, so obviously they now have games… games that everyone else has too though, so they’re adding no value to the ecosystem.

Curiouser and curiouser

Souls-like eh… **** YEAH! 🤣

Double XP weekend on World War Z: Aftermath so back on that to grind out the last few weapons and just the Fed Ex Cup left to do on PGA Tour Golf: Road to the Masters.

I also went back to Homefront: The Revolution during the week and… although it is an absolute jank-fest, I have been jonesing to play a little more I can’t lie.

Happy bank holiday wknd folks!

I did play Fable 2 back on 360 and thought it just okay if I’m honest. Still, this is from totally different devs so I’ll check out the reviews when it drops.

Oh I missed it… gutted /s

For the payers 🧐
