I miss MultiVersus. If they didn't immediately put Player First Games to the guillotine before it even ended I'd hope for a proper release that isn't live service. Unless they're done chasing live service stuff, whatever's planned is probably gonna disappoint everyone.
Playing Starfield just made me want to replay Fallout 4 after a certain point. They're the same game for the most part, except Starfield stripped a ton of stuff Fallout 4 did and made it as basic and boring as possible. Spaceship fights are cool, but get repetitive real quick.
From what I've heard they got a decent amount of funding from Tencent, which would mean they pretty thoroughly lied to gamers to look better. Wouldn't be the first time Jeff Keele's show had a Tencent plant LARPing as being for Indies or being one of them. Wonder how much they're paying that shill.
Sounds like they made every possible wrong choice for a new version of a game, where they already made every wrong choice on already the first time. I'd be more surprised if this release didn't kill any faith in the new Dead or Alive entry.
It's a boneless Fallout 4. Fallout 4 was a great game but a terrible Fallout game. It just had to be the same thing but in an original setting, and instead they stripped out and over simplified everything to the point where it just makes me wish I was playing Fallout 4 again instead.
Sounds like they're gonna be heading down a worse path. Working on multiple projects at the same time already shows unimpressive results, and now they're gonna be doing it with one less year for each project? Gonna be a win-win to Microsoft though, more content for Game Pass even if it's bad AND they still get to yell at Obsidian for bad sales.
Loved it personally. But the game was barely marketed and it seems backwards to not advertise a product and complain sales didn't meet expectations.
I also think people just see Sonic and immediately refuse the idea of paying full price for anything regardless of quality. Meanwhile people don't think twice about paying $80 for Mario Kart, and will foam at the mouth to buy DLC when that comes out regardless of quality, quantity, or price.
@J2theEzzo The robot is supposed to represent the Twin boyfriends and was from the first game, as I'd imagine programming the Beat 'Em Up equivalent of Ice Climbers from Smash Bros would be a programing nightmare.
Hoping this sequel doesn't rely on using weapons and griding for stats as much as the first game. Even after you grinded out max stats, the enemies were still pretty tanky in the later Stages.
Fallout 4 was a great game, but a bad Fallout game. All they had to do is take Fallout 4 and change the setting and it would've been great. ... They failed to do that for Starfield somehow.
Not sure it'll be a good first impression for first time players. No multiplayer which is a key part of the Halo experience, Sprint added without changing the Levels to account for it, & the fact that the game seems to be internally based on Halo Reach which is not known for being super balanced on harder Difficulties.
@nomither6 They're Nerfing Gambit in the same Update among other balancings. iirc they're lowering his standard attack damage and the healing of his Ulti, presumable so DPS players stop trying to use him as a DPS character.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2026 Announced
TES Online makes perfect sense for this honestly, if you're not paying for PS Plus you can't play it anyways.

Re: Fans Are Already Debating Whether God of War's PS5 Trilogy Will Cut the Series' Sex Minigames
@AhmadSumadi No... why would anyone do that and why would you assume that...?

They'll keep the mini games but replace the women with men.

Re: Arknights: Endfield (PS5) - Automation Turns Busywork into Bliss
"Lore-heavy narrative" seems like a wild Con from a website that glazed things like Demon Souls and Bloodborne, IDK how to feel about that one.

@Juanalf Didn't Transformed literally have Day One DLC in a pre-order bonus of Metal Sonic & a Track?

Re: Rumoured Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas Remasters Not Expected to Be Out Any Time Soon
I love Fallout 3 & New Vegas, but as they'll likely have even more glitches than the originals without fixing old ones, I can wait for a decent sale.

Re: Talking Point: Did ANTHEM Deserve the Hate?
Even if it didn't have the expectations of a BioWare game it would still be painfully mid. Not even bad, just... non-interestingly average.
