Not to sound arrogant, but the adults in the room knew it was never going to be sustainable from day one.

I'm sorry they lost their jobs but their games weren't very good, in my opinion.

@Slippship every week someone comes in whining about this, and it's so pathetic. If the prices aren't low enough for you, DON'T BUY THE GAMES. Any other 1st world problems you want to get off your chest? Does your ice water only have 3 cubes instead of 4? I mean come on man.

Similar to the first game, I gave it an honest go, but there's just enough jank for it to be off-putting for me. But it's worth noting that I'm am the one guy who doesn't really feel Capcom games in general so not surprising.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Definitive Remake Nobody Wanted version coming soon...

This is easily the best lineup, in my opinion, in at least a year. 3 games I would actually at least try out. Can't remember the last time I said that.

If the physical boxes just have download codes or discs that require additional downloads, then what exactly is the point? At this point I think some people just get off on making their lives as inconvenient as possible to be honest.

@SteveJaye I don't give a damn what the age of consent says, I think a grown man having interest in a 16 year old is f****n creepy and no law will convince me otherwise. This guy is in his 40's. Your defense of him holds ZERO water.

Well actually dude, you kind of are.

There's no gray area here...dude knew what he was doing. What I would really love for him to explain is how he found communicating with a minor to be even remotely titillating to the point that he took it in the direction of impropriety at all.

Anyone who supports this guy from here on out is no better than a pedo themselves.

Just leave this mess out of single player content and we'll be fine.

Life is hard enough, I'm looking to escape not make it worse.

That said, Elden Ring using Save Wizard is some of the most fun I've ever had in gaming. Without SW though, I would never have considered buying it.

I don't know man, I mean if I'm not having fun with a game, I stop playing it and find something else to do that is fun. It's really not that hard.

So I've come to the conclusion that a LOT of people find complaining fun for some reason.

@LifeGirl the only word more overused today than "toxic" is "entitled" and your use of it here is overblown, bordering on sarcastic. Nobody is protesting FromSoft headquarters over this. It's not entitled to want to be able to enjoy a game that everyone around you seems to be enjoying.

I'm actually concerned VI is going to be the last single-player GTA that we see, and they're going to devote full time resources to GTA Online after that. It's where the money is sadly.

@SolarSailor You beat me to it lol

@DennisReynolds Okay that is a fair point, that should be taken into account most definitely.

@WhiteRabbit so you routinely buy games with user scores that low? If so, kudos to you. Personally I don't touch anything in that neighborhood.

Both Lords of the Fallen were stinkers honestly, though it's ironic that the 2014 version has a higher rating (3.93) on the PSN store than the 2023 one (3.69) and let's not pretend that 3.7 is a good score or anything...if they really deliver a sequel that fast, it will be like Dragon Age 2 where every asset is reused to death and will most likely feel rushed.

So now they're going to churn out Turd #3, outstanding. Does the world really even need ANOTHER mediocre Souls-like? I mean, why don't they just go all-in on a live service looter-shooter while they're at it.

@Toot1st you haven't either

Without Save Wizard, I never would have even tried Elden Ring.

With it, it's one of my favorite games ever.

To the people asking, Banishers is a pretty good game I thought (8.5/10) and definitely worth picking on sale!

I'm not usually into the samurai thing (I'm the one guy that didn't love Ghost of Tsushima) but this looks pretty cool, and looks very different from Valhalla, which I'm happy about. I skipped Mirage just because of how burnt out on the series that Valhalla made me. I don't ever want to see that game again.

@themightyant I'm a slut for a good breakfast buffet

@DogPark Amen, no crafting and no settlement building whatsoever (looking at you Fallout)

Okay I'm back on board now, but that 1st trailer needs to be taken out back and put out of it's misery, that thing scared the Sneaky Dickens out of me

@Angelus3K He was clearly being sarcastic about needing a PS5 Pro for PS2 games, how did you not catch that?

@get2sammyb you're right, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is probably the most realistic game I've ever played...and I found it to be no fun at all.

To quote the illustrious and timeless Darby Crash; "gimme gimme this, gimme gimme thaaatttttt"

Xbox needs to go, Microsoft needs to get out of the console business and become a 3rd party publisher. I'm NOT SAYING that Sony should have no competition (read that last sentence again please) but what I am saying is that ANY possible new competitor to the market would be an improvement and could not do any worse than Xbox has.

Oh whatever Xbox, I still remember the 360 days when it felt like EVERYTHING had timed exclusivity deals or just got everything first (GTA DLC, TES IV etc) so I don't want to hear any revisionist history about how Sony is slimy blah blah blah.

I'm actually a fan of the cartoony, colorful art style usually (KoA: Reckoning, WoW, stuff like that) but not for a freaking Dragon Age game.

Also, for what it's worth, it's been so long since Inquisition that I didn't even remember who Harding was, I had to Google her. And I've got platinum trophies on all 3 Dragon Age games.

I had been excited about this game for the better part of a decade, but after the trailer I'm out. I despise the art style, it's like WoW but more cartoony, not to mention the whole thing with the title change KIND OF feels like a bait & switch if I'm being honest. I'll pick this up when it's on sale for $19.99 six-to-twelve months after release.

@yazzika trophies are toxic now? These modern buzz words need to be dialed back man, they've lost all meaning

Bottom line is it was their choice, and anybody surprised hasn't been paying attention. This is on brand for them.

Toxic positivity is leading the USA straight to hell, but that's another topic entirely...

I'll take the Ori games, a remaster of Fable 2, and then the new Fable along with Avowed whenever they release please

@themightyant yeah, he said something you disagree with, he must be racist. How very 21st century of you. Nice try.

Yeah I don't do f2p, hard pass for me

If anybody out there actually bought a PS5 simply because it said 8K on the box, I have some swampland in Florida to sell you...

@Dragoon1994 I did not know that, thank you! Real question is the game worth checking out?

@CutchuSlow as far as I know Xbox has most if not all the same mods that are available on PC (assuming they have functionality on an Xbox of course) but Sony's limits are pretty strict, in both games you cannot use outside assets, so anything you use in the mod on PS4 or PS5 has to be stuff that's already included in the game, you can't add anything.

@NoCode23 yeah I had Game Genie for NES and SNES, but those are cheats, not mods (at least nobody used the term mods back then). Can't speak to PS1 and PS2 era cause I wasn't gaming at those times.

@CutchuSlow Skyrim and Fallout 4 simply have "mods" sections on the main menu, and then from there you can browse mods and activate them and such. It takes care of the load order automatically.

@zhoont the only other games with mods on console (that I know of anyway) are Fallout 4 and Skyrim, and using mods disabled trophies in both of those instances, so unless we hear otherwise probably best to assume this will be the case with BG3 as well.

@MrHabushi You absolutely hit the nail on the head. The Series S was a desperation move born out of the knowledge that the Series X could never hold it's own against the PS5, so they needed a cheaper, entry-level model if you will, to entice people who don't know any better.

I would argue the first game limited the amount of fun one could have on an Xbox. Hopefully this time they tweak the formula a little bit so the game feels like something other than a chore or a punishment.

I can't remember the last month I even downloaded one of the included games, let alone played one. It's easily been half a year at least.

So glad gacha games hold no appeal to me. Kind of feel like those are for suckers if I'm being 100% honest.

It depends on how many games you play and how often you play. Personally, I play a lot, so most of the quality games that arrive on PS Plus Extra or Premium I played months (or years) prior. What is left is mostly AA/Indie stuff that doesn't appeal to me at all, no matter the quantity. It's like a buffet, but none of the food I really like.

I'll say it again...imagine if Bethesda had been ready with a new, single-player Fallout 5 to coincide with the TV show. I mean, Fallout 4 is damn near a 10 year old game and is burning up the charts (doing better than the more recent 76, hmm...) but no, they were busy with...Starfield.
