Still cracking away at Octopath Traveler before jumping into Octopath 0. Also replaying a bit of Demon Souls and Returnal in an effort to justify this PS5 Pro I got.
Professional victim Zoe Quinn also tried to use the situation to push herself back into the conversation. Complaining about how she wasn't paid for a writing tryout she failed.
This will complete my legacy collection, well until they give us the Legends trilogy. I'm a little excited actually. Would have picked it in yesterday's poll if it were an option.
Sony really hurts their brand by repeatedly leveraging PS Plus to treat what would otherwise be a F2P game like a subscription MMO. Many people will not care that Sony is affixing a price tag to this game, effectively forcing PS5 gamers to also pay a subscription to play it, many others will. And after they've finally had enough of this repeated behavior they'll find a new platform to play games on. And the people already on that platform, they'll never consider the platform that wants to charge them for the privelege to play their online only games.
I’m playing my way through backlog hell so it could have been nothing but Game Mill shovelware and I wouldn’t have cared, so getting Granblue was pretty nice.
Control looked like a good time. Lots of spectacle throughout the show, but it was Total War 40K and the Tomb Raiders I'm most looking forward to. I'm sure Divinity will move the cRPG goalposts when it releases.
I was gonna pass due to the change in dev and the mobile stigma, but hot damn this is getting some glowing reviews from sites that lean more heavily into RPGs.
@LogicStrikesAgain I think if you visit a site like GG Deals (and disable keyseller listings) you’ll get a better idea of the full breadth of what people typically mean when they say PC/Steam is cheaper.
@Rich33 Yeah there are some great deals to be had on physical games. I bought 5 this week that were all cheaper than I could have got them on any digital storefront. The market on physical PS5 games is a lot closer to what PC gamers get than the “Sony vs Steam” argument would suggest. Thats all I mean.
I think this is more for small form factor PC enthusiasts than console enthusiasts. I suppose that doesn't really jibe with Push Square editorial's "Us vs Them" mentality tho.

Didn't hate it but I did shift focus to my PC reformat about halfway through.

Re: Geoff Keighley's Cryptic Game Awards Teaser Reportedly Not Related to Diablo 4 After All
I'll go with Elder Scrolls 6 Valenwood. Some of the skulls resemble Dremora, some of the armor looks very Daedric, then there's the big tree.

If the Steam store was the only legitimate way to buy Steam games, some of these arguments might hold weight. But it isn't so they don't.
