Already this is a very close second to my GOTY, Stellar Blade. Just amazing to play after the incredible disappointment that was the Star Wars open world game.
So the game looks wonderful, has a better story than Elden Ring, and is a real breath of fresh air. It’s also free. 3/10 sounds like a real axe to grind to me.
Having now completed DD2 I remain perplexed at this site’s 9/10 rating. It’s a beautiful world, and combat is so, so good, but the storyline and almost every quest you come across is just so, so poor. The writing is horrendous, and the main quest line would embarrass a game from the Sinclair ZX 48k era.
For a game of its ilk, storyline is a pretty big deal, which is why I cannot abide a 9/10.
@JB_Whiting it's just a shame that PS couldn't put aside its gushing for a single paragraph to mention the graphical downgrade and/or parity with its 4-year-old predecessor

Re: Throne and Liberty (PS5) - Beginner MMO Is Plagued with Technical Issues
Been loving it. This review is strongly reminiscent of the infamous 3/10 for TFD.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
@KundaliniRising333 you're right the DA combat looked so bad it was almost unreal
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
@Bez87 yeah it seems that the fanboys here are easily placated...not sure what BluePoint have been doing for the last four years either
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
not sure why this is getting good reviews considering it was just Ghost 2, pointless remasters and zero reason why to buy the Pro
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
So many whining here about it being too expensive and yet it will sell-out and be unavailable for months, likely years.
Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'
Never forget that this publication rated Concord 7/10 and The First Descendant 3/10
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Black Myth: Wukong?
3/10 for me
It's press X to win. Repeatedly.
Boss rush, and boring with it.
Nothing in-between; boring environments and 3 mobs to run past.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
5 minute wonder. Press X repeatedly to win.
Re: There's Already Concern Over Concord's Player Count as Open Beta Begins
Right now Concord has 1,000 players on steam.
The 3/10 TFD has 110,000.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The First Descendant?
A very strong 8. Still can't get over the 3/10 from this site.
Re: The First Descendant Draws a Massive 10 Million Players in First Week
@Anke my one complaint is that my custom look isn’t reflected in the cut scenes
Re: The First Descendant Draws a Massive 10 Million Players in First Week
It’s extremely impressive for a free-to-play: great graphics, decent story, gameplay that really drives that ‘one more mission’ addictiveness.
In other words, it’s anything but a 3/10

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2024?
Not happy but The Last Descendant dropped so I’ll be enjoying that for free

Re: Square Enix Drops OG Octopath Traveler, Available Now on PS5, PS4
@twitchtvpat because Xbox people refuse to buy games
Re: Larian CEO Says Baldur's Gate 3 Sequel Dev Must 'Do Their Own Thing'
@lst probably because the article clearly states it wants the dev of Rogue Trader to take on the mantle of BG4
Re: Larian CEO Says Baldur's Gate 3 Sequel Dev Must 'Do Their Own Thing'
Rogue Trader was such a colossal step down following BG3 why would we want them steering the ship again?
Re: Hands On: Stellar Blade Does PS5 New Game + the Right Way

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Demo Out Now, Junon Update Coming Before Full Release
@KundaliniRising333 just confirming that it hasn’t been updated at all in the 4 years since the last go around. very disappointing graphically..
Re: Hands On: Honkai: Star Rail's Huge PS5 Update Brings Big BioShock Vibes
It’s fair to say Star Rail is far superior to the over-stuffed Like a Dragon.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Demo Out Now, Junon Update Coming Before Full Release
@Michael2008ish same boat, that QTE moment was abhorrent
Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Baldur's Gate 3

Re: 8 PS Plus Extra Games for October Leaked Early
@Cherip-the-Ripper Gotham Knights is criminally underrated, probably better than Spider-Man 2

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Games for October Leaked
