I dont get it, why does every anime girl have to either look like 8 year old child or have cat ears(or both)? Whats wrong with Japan? And more importanly whats wrong with the rest of the world consuming this crap? Legit question here, i just dont get it.
The gameplay videos look really bad compared to the prerelease footage we were bombarded with.
Combat looks clunky and the climbing on big monsters looks like something from early 2000s game. Not to mention the insane frame drops and microtransactions.
I was looking forward for this game, but for now its hard pass for me.
I honestly couldnt even get into Ghost of Tsushima and that at least has some fresh ideas in the open world. Its hard to go back to the old style of open world games after Breath of the Wild and Elden ring.
@GeminiReign Oh *****, youre right. Didnt realize its after DAO! ME2 is definetly a great game, objectively best in the series, altho i personally prefer the more RPG focus of the first game.
First one i wont buy in ages.
F1 22 was horrible and 23 story mode and lootbox mode werent nearly enough to justify purchase.
Someone here said in comments that best F1 game is GT7 and i have to agree.
I hate these types of games, unfortunatelly my other half loves them. So after almost losing my mind playing overcooked, Im really hoping that this one is as chill as advertised.
@Jaz007 What are you talking about? Ofcourse it had an ending. Did you finish the game? They just polished some characters and added an ending summary screen like for example dragon age. The ending didnt change at all.
Larian’s dedication to their games and respect they have for their fans is truly astonishing. More devs having even a sliver of this mindset would make gaming objectively better.
I dont envy the PC players, wouldnt want to live thru that disappointment again.
@MaccaMUFC Porting games to other platforms isnt necessarily a problem. Sony slacking on first party exclusives is.
@AdamNovice Truu, the graphics were mindblowing. I think Alan Wake 2 came close/surpasses it in some ways. But still FW was pretty epic, especially the sand physics.
@sanderson72 Hmm from what i could find the only console outselling ps5 was ps2 and still if you take that data during the same period of time ps5 is on course to crash those numbers too.
Youre right about the android tho, my mistake. Despite the percentage increasing in the recent years, if you look on overall data, android has long term much better market position retainability. Again, my mistake
@nomither6 Haha man are you ok? Who hurt you? Youre being waaaay too agressive given the topic.
I love you say that its not about me, yet youre the one throwing a tantrum on the internet telling a multibillion dollar company what they should and shouldnt do.
My opinions are just that, i never posed them as some golden standart, so chill out kid.
Id much rather useless features stripped down to maintain simplicity of the system. And given the ps5 is the best selling playstation yet, despite having those “”features”” removed tells me at least some people think the same way i do.
More options arent always better, thats why more and more people prefer iOS over android, its not as bloated with nonsence and therefore works better.
You dont always have to be condescending and throw insults around to drive your point across. I think youll learn that one way or ther other later in your life
@nomither6 I strongly disagree, theres a huuuge difference between a gaming pc and a modern console.
Also its no problem to strip features if theyre useless and do nothing but bloat the system.
I mean, internet browser? Really? To surf the interwebs using a dualsense? In a day and age where anything from bathtubs to fridges has one? Cmon man, let it just be a gaming system.
@nomither6 It also doesnt have a can opener and it cant tell weather.
Essencial functions in a gaming console if you ask me.
Edit - So im not just a sarcastic a-hole: The simplicity of just putting in a disc and playing a game without having to set up a theme and learn how to turn off cortana is the main appeal of a gaming console. What you seem to want is a PC :/
@ZhuckelDror
I think witcher had a lot of free dlcs of the same nature.
But yea thats exactly my point. Theres different ways of doing DLC, not of all em are bad.
Edit- technically speaking all DLCs, hell the games themselves, are optional.
The problem is that the companies want you to buy them.
Diablo4 is a great example, optional dlc yes, but all other armors look like crap. So if you want to look cool you need to pay up.
If remakes keep getting 10/10 and GOTY nominations then why not. Companies will only do what we, the customers, will allow. And sadly, we allow exactly this.
Im pretty sure theres enough fans of animated schoolgirls in the world to pay for all 25euro dlc they can think of.
With hindsight I guess Oblivion is where everything started to go badly. Even tho I didnt realize it back then, outside of the stupid level scaling, where at the end of the game even basic bandits had daedric weapons.
@TheMightyImp2 Oh yea i have original white ones. Might be that. I dont know why as im also extremely clean, i wouldnt touch a controller with greasy hand if my life depended on it.
To be fair i was pretty unlucky with the console itself, had to have it replaced after a month of use. Its my first console since NES so i guess some teething aches haha.

This one really hits close, i love battlefront. Devs should burn on a stake for this.
Battlefront deserved much more than this.

How are people so hyped about this?

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Promises Big Improvements and Fixes
@Jaz007 Damn that sucks that you felt that way. I guess its fair enough.
The ending was pretty good for me, finished the game twice. Didnt finish my third playthrough.
I mean, you do have a point, but its nowhere near Mass effect bad.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Promises Big Improvements and Fixes

Re: Poll: Which Xbox Franchises Would You Buy on PS5?
Forza Horizon! I love GT7, but sometimes its a bit too simulator-ey
They can keep everything else, Bethesda never made a Fallout game worth a damn and Elder scrolls is on a downhill spiral since Morrowind.

Look at From Software games DLC, Cyberpunk or Witcher 3.

Hard pass.

Re: Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted

Still love it tho!
Re: Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted
@TheMightyImp2 Im on my 5th controller within 16 months. The first one lasted the longest.
I halfway suspect sony to just refurbish them and send them back as “new” cause everytime i get it back it lasts about a month.
Stick drift every time, only one time i had stuck adaptive trigger on R2.
Re: Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted
Will it still drift tho?
