@graymamba Ofcourse people can prefer other things. Also people prefering exclusives on their platform(what some peiple would call fanboism) isnt necessarily bad thing, nobody said that.
Youre doing the same thing, no need to attack my opinion just because i think Yotei was extremely underwhelming. I dont see where i implied that im an arbiter of anything, what a toxic thing to say. Im just expressing my opinion in an internet forum. Isnt that the point of it?
@Ricksta It gets actually a bit too easy after the opening hours. After you get some perks the “survival” elements become non issue and after you train sword fighting with the gypsy sword master, even full plate armored knight isnt a challenge anymore.
It did take me multiple reloads to defeat even a single bandit in the begining tho, its not just you, henry is super weak by design xD
Definetly looking forward to trying the hardcore mode for the second playthrough.
Does anyone even care at this point? Bethesda has been shoveling cow-***** for ages now. Dont think theres anyone whos left blind to this fact after Starfield.
Im super excited, BG3 was amazing, but the dnd formula put into videogame felt restrictive and while i enjoyed the game when it released it didnt age as well as lets say Witcher 3.
Im glad they chose to go back to divinity as it lends them more creative freedom.
I dont understand the need of some people to spam that theyre NOT buying a product under every article. Its like theyre trying to justify it for themselves.
Ad controllers - i must be doing something wrong, but i went thru 5 of em in 3 years
@Chip-Douglas I cant say i agree with the fine, but employers fire people for racial slurs all the time, even those posted on social media. As they should!
The freedom of speech law isnt even about protecting racists, dont think that anyone would want that. Its just thst its too easy to file anything you dont like under “hatespeech” and silence it.
Id personally rather risk offfending someone than silencing someome for jsut expressiong their opinion.
@SeaDaVie Opening an investigation is opening an investigation, its not “having someone arrested”. Thats not semantics, thats facts.
What do you mean the trump administration threatens to sue people? You talking abkut BBC? That was over fabricating video to fit their agenda, not over speech.
Wealthy demanding reparations for speech? Where did you get that? Do you have an evodence of someone actually arrested for speech in the US? The law applies the same to everyone.
@SeaDaVie Yes you will not get arrested for calling anyone racial slurs. There are ofcourse exceptions like threats of violence, harrasment or stalking, inciting violence, stuff like that. But no, not just for calling someone any race slur.
Brother even in the biased article you yourself selected it says launch investigation, not arrest. If you want to critise trump, theres plenty to go around in the actual sphere of facts, no need to make stuff up.
And yes ofcourse i care more about the freedoms i personally care ablut and dont care as much about those thst i dont care about. By definition!
@SeaDaVie
> The law has dictated what one can and can’t say for hundreds of years.
Well yes and thats wrong, thats why your country is where it is.
> Secondly, the government has never once arrested anyone in Germany or the UK. Only the police and other authorities can do so.
I dont even know what to say to that, i refuse to belive youre so daft that you dont know that police isnt private and is operated by goverment.
Edit- the books are not banned lol, theyre just removed from public schools. The books are still available in stores and private schools and everywhere else.
@SeaDaVie Do you have some evidence to that other than nonsence?
Books about sexual violence being removed from schools doenst mean theyre banned. You can still get em anywhere else. They just removed them from taxpayer paid public schools.
> The consequences are getting arrested.
If you dont understand the dangers of goverment dictating what you can and cant say, we will probably never find a common ground here.
@LifeGirl Thank god i live in the US where it isnt a goverment deciding whats gross and offensive and what should and shouldnt exist. Barring inciting violence you should be able to say anything you want and then face consequences(like getting punched in the balls). England is using V for vendetta as an instruction manual.
@Jammer damn really? I would agree with FW story being a bit meh, but i really enjoyed ZD story-wise. Altho combat is definetly star of the show in both games.
@Nepp67 It is predatory for people with addictive personalities, thats what these practices are designed to exploit. Just because you dont buy anything doesnt mean its not bad. I dont know how else to explain it.
Non predatory would be having NO battle passes and NO premium currency.
Never understood the “hate” for people who mention what they dont like. It doesnt mean they dont like the game. As a company you usually get the most complaints from your most hardcore fans, and its smart to listen to them.
@Nepp67 The game isnt, im sure you know that, so im asuming you ment the battle pass?
It being free or paid is not what makes it predatory. Its an age old discussion, people who spend nothing or very little here and there arent the target of these practices.
Its people with addictive personalities who these devs target. The gaming community definetly got used to these things by now, but seeing you using this crap as a praise for this game is definetly a next level of delusion.

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025
@graymamba Well im running into the same problem as you, if i wrote the word i want to id be banned
Altho dismissing my comments and hiding behind personal insults fits the definition of toxic flawlessly.
Oh…. for those challenged in the wits department … in my opinion!
Have a nice rest of the evening!
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025
@graymamba Aaand you continue to be toxic….
Do i have to put “in my opinion” after anything i say so “people like you” dont assume im stating a fact instead of an opinion?

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025
@SeaDaVie While i dont disagree with what you said,
I feel like the “its way worse over there” argument doesnt really add anything to the discussion about the phenomenon were experiencinf here.
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025
@SeaDaVie Two things can be true at the same time no?
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025
@graymamba To be fair Yotei has no right to be in top3 with likes of KCD2, DS2 and even Silksong releasing this year.
There definetly is fanboyism here, its just E33 is so good even PS fanbois cant deny it.
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Damn i stand corrected
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 RPG of 2025
@Fritz167 KCD2 is like Witcher 3 and RDR2 combined. Insane immersion with amazing storytelling.
If i had to chose one i would probably go with witcher, but it would be a tough choice.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.1.6 Out Now on PS5, But the Cool Attack on Titan Armour Is Paid DLC
@DennisReynolds Isnt it obvious tho why would ubisoft never admit that the game underperformed? They have shareholders!
Why would you trust ubisoft of all sources? In order for them to “be happy” it would have to sell north of 10mil, which i doubt it did.
I know you love the game and its hard to admit to yourself you like something bad, but cmon man be real.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5
@UltimateOtaku91 Why would tech nerds buy a closes console? Playstation is still catered towards casual gamers, always will be.
Also why would current Pc players buy the steam machine? They already own a PC.
I personally think they gonna overprice it to hell and that will kill it. But more competition for playstation is always bettwr for thr consumer.

Re: Try Battlefield 6 for Free in One Week Trial, from 25th November
@Nepp67 So it has not one, but two battlepasses and premium currency?
Matbe it should have lootboxes, then it would truly “respect your money”. You know, like the money you already paid for the game.
Jeeez, gamers standards are rly low these days huh.
