@kyleforrester87 probably because you can trust in CDPR to deliver a polished game, so we gladly give it time. The others might spend a lot of time and it might still turn out bad
Destiny is already going into the 5th year now, which is half of its life time. And it feels like nothing really progressed in that game. The most important thing with Anthem will be to have a full experience at the start and add high quality content on the go that feels like the game is progressing.
It should just start basically as Destiny 1 with all the add ons, especially TTK. Just with a more coherent story. And then continue from there.
After what happened with Nomura and FFXV, I have my doubts about how this will turn out. At the end stuff might get scrapped again, a new director onboarded and the project rushed through?
Nowadays, anything Nomura touches, I have trouble trusting. If I was SE, I wouldn't let him do any more projects unless they are ready to spend crazy amounts of money or time.
I really hope this game and PS5 will come out together. I bought an Xbox One X just to get some more graphic boost on my 4K TV for multi plat games (plus some of the exclusives), but Cyberpunk I really want to play on next gen.
@Rols yeah, killing off Cayde in a game like destiny is like killing the last good thing about the game. Something amazing has to happen afterwards if they take Cayde from the game.
As much as I love this story reveal. Bungie has fooled me too many times before. They were always good with cinematics but fail upon the game itself. Destiny feels too much of Bungie experimenting non-stop.
I will hold out. There are enough more trustworthy games coming out around the same time.
I might only pick it up if I got nothing else to fill the gap until ANTHEM is out. BioWare at least has experience in story telling, MMORPGs and world building.
How CD project basically hacked the stage while Phil Spencer was still talking was just perfect. I think they wanted to show more of the world this time around. And it fits cyberpunk 2077 perfectly.
I was only interested in anthem and what’s next for battlefront 2. I wasn’t disappointed, even preordered anthem now. It’s just my kind of game. A lot shown though was really weird and I not exciting.
@PS_Nation it’s more like monster hunter. You can head out alone, or you head out with matchmaking, or friends, or you join a session of some random player. But outside of that you won’t see other players running around if you are not in their game session. Or like Diablo 3, where you don’t see other players unless you are part of their session/party.
@smelly_jr there will be decision making. There is still 8 months left of showing stuff. They shouldn’t spill out everything just yet.
@ShogunRok
To me it actually sounds more like Monster Hunter, have a central hub where a lot of the story and cutscenes are placed in. Go out alone or with a team, or jump into another player’s session, if made public.
Also choose your load out etc before you go as you can’t switch everything mid-mission. Even have your own kind of room you can spend time in.
The multiplayer/coop part seems to be more like monster hunter. I think one issue with having other players jumping around could be that it might break immersion. Imagine you slowly walk through some dangerous area that just looks terrifying, and then you see another dude just jumping around as if it’s nothing. I love the immersive world of monster hunter world, so if the experience will go into that direction, I am absolutely happy
Bungie will still have to work really hard to convince players. Currently I am much more hyped about Anthem after reading a lot about it and seeing how close they already work with the community.
I am definitely looking forward to seeing Spyro again from the above lineup. Childhood days reignited.
Okay so I watched the whole stream and the impression I got from the game director and project lead is that they don’t seem to care much about the story and the world. They seem to care more about guns and ”shooting aliens in their face”.
I dont have time for games that feel like wasting my time just shooting around without good reasons. Let’s see what the E3 will show us about the story part.
Currently I am looking more forward to Anthem because in the videos and discussions with BioWare they mentioned more about the world and the story, not much about shooting monsters in their face. Although they didn’t show the story, they at least mention it, whereas Bungie just talks about guns and shooting aliens.

@XurAgentofthe9 yeah, I also put many hours into the game, but mostly because I barely got anything else to do. I bet the story in this game will again go like “the prisoners have broken out, but don’t worry, we are good at killing” and that’s it, just kill everyone.
I love that PushSquare are the only ones giving me the JST time. Living in japan i always have to convert the time zones because most events are just announced with their PST timezone, almost ignoring the rest of the world. Thank you PushSquare!
I liked D2's campaign more than D1. There was at least something to experience unlike D1 just running around not having any idea WTF is going on and having to read lore in grimoire cards.
Warmind is actually quite nice in some aspects. It has quite a bit of interesting lore to it, but it is short and felt mostly like Bungie just trying to quickly get to a certain point, rushing the story etc.
Let's see now what this brings. I still play destiny, because there is really nothing much else out there for me until Anthem will come out. I also got myself an Xbox One X now so I could play the HALO series and this is also where I realized many common things between HALO and Destiny, but also where HALO is superior to Destiny. We will finally see if that bungie community summit actually tackled the glaring issues with the game or if Bungie really just doesn't care about the story and PVE part of the game at all.
I usually avoid games rated below 8, but there are exceptions (this is one of them). I am a big sucker when it comes to cyberpunk and similar. On metacritic, when you look at user ratings, you see that people seem to like it more than the reviewers. This is simply a game that divides people’s opinion. Some want gameplay, some want stories. To me a visual novel is a game and whoever forces more gameplay on it is wrong in this genre. So far I have spent several hours into this game and I am still completely hooked. I like the characters, the visuals are incredible (another slap at the more powerful Xbox one x, that has no games properly using its power, just showing that good developers make up for the lesser power of the PS4 Pro). I got the deluxe version, so I will also enjoy the soundtrack and art book.
Bought an Xbox one X just yesterday so I can enjoy a few first parties and third parties, but I am absolutely ready to get a PS5 to replace my PS4 Pro.
Got back to all the games that were not considered good games. Played Destiny 2 Warmind, doing my first raids and enjoyed it a lot. Yes they still got a lot to learn, I am hoping for them to reveal the September dlc at E3. Got No Mans Sky and enjoyed it so far playing the atlas path. Still a bit weird though with the wildlife sometimes looking really weird. And now playing Battlefront 2 once again. It is far more enjoyable now and I love the Ewok Hunt
Awesome. I just bought the game because of the good critics around the past updates and because of the upcoming one. Alright so while the wildlife is quite bland, the exploration part of the game is quite fun. Let’s see what else they will bring
I only noticed 2 things that have been fixed since the original version. One is that the game crashed my whole PS4 when I tried to come back from stand by. Another is an animation where Kratos grabs a humanoid enemy, smashes him down and squashed his head with his foot. In the first versions, the head and foot placements were off and it looked strange why the head would explode. Now the foot is really on the head and destroying it.
But that’s it. I hope they slowly stop with this fixing. I sometimes just want to play.
I think they push out these last updates before E3 because they may get a bunch of new customers across platforms once they show off Cyberpunk at the E3
@Tasuki while this is true, it is also fact that there have been some PVE modes in arcade. It would be simply great to have some more consistent PVE updates in that format. It does not have to be the focus per se, but would be great as a bonus to get. Currently for instance there is just the CTF map in arcade. Since they already did such things with Junkenstein and Uprising, why not keep it up and make it more consistent
Still I wish there was more PVE content. With all these stories, it is very sad that you don't get to play them in such a setting with a story around it.
I really have absolutely NO problem paying for loot boxes or DLCs or any other type of transaction, AS LONG as it is not some greedy "in-your-face" kind of thing. The "in-your-face" thing may be fine for free-to-play games, but not for games you already pay 60-100$.
EA is a very good example of how NOT to do it. Blizzard is a very good example of how it can be done.
And I really like to support developers by paying money for loot boxes or whatever, as long as the game has quality.
For example Destiny 2 I am simply disappointed. I really liked the story arc, but once that was done, everything went the same way as Destiny 1. I think people generally don't really have a problem with such systems, as long as the game itself doesn't feel like some unfinished money-grabbing-only kind of thing.
I got it via TestFlight invitation. So far it feels as interesting as Journey was. Its almost as if it is just a different race of "people" living in the same world, but a different part, with a different story.
AND it looks damn beautiful (at least on the iPhone X and I guess at means also iPhone 8).
@Cowboysfan-22 Here in Japan there are only 3% of apartments that allow cats for example. Unless you actually buy something, it is incredibly hard to get a house/apartment which allows pets, especially newer constructions. I see this kind of robot as an alternative. Also I don't think that Sony expects to sell a lot of them. This is probably more of some other way to fund the R&D behind all that other stuff they are working on. On the presentation, you could tell that Aibo is just a small part of some big plans towards AI and machine learning throughout many industries.

Re: Guide: Metro: Exodus - Everything We Know So Far
Its really weird how underrated the Metro series is. Its one of the most immersing FPS games ever made, with a very interesting story.
I guess they might need to move their release date though to not be buried between days gone and anthem. But for me its a day one anyway.
