Their naming convention for their games reminds me of Microsoft's for Xbox consoles. I tried to keep up and then decided I just didn't care.

Almost feel like some of these articles just are begging to cull the forum users.

Half-life 4 confirmed

Was really late to the game. Started with Infinite Wealth and went back and played (almost) most of the series. I'm not going to miss this one but the current MSRP/playtime makes kind of want to wait for a bit of a sale.

How long before they fire almost everyone involved in the project?

Complaining about other people complaining seems a little paradoxical

Complete filler episode. It's fun, but it does almost nothing to the story.

@Apollo2212 Yeah, I keep looking through the list above trying to figure out what everyone was excited about

I'm an explorer, and apparently a slow one at that. When I see average time to game completion even 100%, I usually wind up doubling or tripling that. I think I just like exploring every nook and cranny, especially at AAA+ prices. I definitely get my money's worth

I called PSVR2 a flop when it launched and got flamed for it.

@Max_the_German That's ironically the reason I play games to avoid that.

I can remember during the Wii U days when I thought Nintendo might have to go the SEGA route. It's possible Microsoft does, after all software is their main business, but just as possible they turn around and make the next big console.
I personally think they took a wrong turn just in the naming conventions, it took some level of knowledge to even know what the latest Xbox was, and if it was that hard to figure out, imagine a casual gamer or parent. (Another similar Wii U moment.) If they try again, I recommend just ditching the Xbox moniker.

I might catch some flak for this, but I'm starting to put a lot more trust into Asian influence in gaming, than Western. I feel like the East still gets gamers and I have absolutely no idea what is going on there in boardrooms in the Western hemisphere. This isn't new, I've always been a huge JRPG fan but the chasm between the two different approaches, seems to grow every year and not in a good direction. Indies are another story, but big corp has lost it's way.

My feelings about hearing a live service game being announced is the same as my feelings about hearing that one got cancelled. Indifferent, other than the people attached to the project, I don't really care.

Great, another platform I won't play it on

I expect this to go down exactly as expected.

Naval battles weren't exactly my favorite part of the latest Ys, but it wasn't really a central part of the game. Hopefully, that's the same here.

@Flaming_Kaiser What is a CD?

@Titntin How dare you!

We all just knew Unknown 10 was gonna be lit

Finished Bloomtown: A Different Story, one of a handful of indies I stayed until the end for. Started Tales of Graces f Remastered today.

Not really a live service fan. If I want a bunch of kids yelling at me while I game, I'll just wait until my grandchildren are over.

Thank God. Maybe the era of live service games is almost over. Most are just a blight to gaming

@ZeroSum 100%. Had they not focused on people that literally owned several other high-priced houses and properties, and this just being just one of the many, it would not have came across as so damn tone deaf. Especially in an economy where a lot of people can't afford to buy even one house.
Blame the media for this crappy take. Nobody wants to see anyone's life fortune go up in flames, but they really can't read a room, or maybe they can and knew exactly what they were doing.

@Steeleye50 But then would they be as great? Death Stranding sat on my shelf in gamin backlog for almost a year. Once I started playing, I kicked myself for not starting sooner.

I know y'all like me and like to eat fast, but take it slow on this one so that NG+ will be there when you finish.

I don't understand how popular Steam can be, almost the de facto way of playing PC games, and people freak out about PSN. Of course, people freak out about everything today, so maybe me not understanding is more abnormal

@LikelySatan You don't have to buy it for your significant other, you can buy it for yourself.

Honestly, I quit Plus about the time they changed everything. I don't really play multiplayer online, never too worried about cloud saves, and their monthly games seem to always be poo.

Just my experience, if someone is getting more out of it, great. Wasn't worth a dime to me.

@riceNpea I can't even believe for two seconds that the author of this article knew just reposting this was going to be divisive. Then act shocked about the comment section.

Obvious forced is bad. There I said it.

@Olmaz And it's still too expensive for me to play. Time is money.

@Coolmusic I suspect insider trading for that point.

@cburg What's moneyhatting? Sounds kinky

More curious where it lies in length with the other Like a Dragon games

People getting unnecessarily upset in 2024? I don't believe it. Hopefully, people learn to calm the F down in 2025

Definitely a "clear cut". Yikes

@Enuo You can play a game and watch TV? That's next level gen

So, basically you need to be British. Got it.

I'm waiting for Creole voice acting. And no I don't speak Creole, just want to be edgy too.

@Bingoboyop Nah, that's just from companies not understanding their fan base. How they get it so wrong, I really don't know. I have some ideas but I'll stay away from the topic

Meanwhile back in the West...

Something, something, edgy anti-pro, anti-Horizon comment. Sorry, I'm trying to fit in but just too lazy to be witty this morning.

@8bit4Life Spoilers...

Team Tifa FTW

Players can now sit on chairs. My dreams made manifest.

Almost starting to feel like the gaming companies have a team dedicated to rage baiting players. It doesn't matter how you feel about the character, there is almost zero chance they didn't, or shouldn't, expect this. Is this just a new marketing technique or are you going to tell me they really don't understand the average gamer? Maybe go outside of a big city to shop character designs?

Will the "significant upgrade" still contain the sailing mechanics? Why I didn't mind, I think it was off putting to some players. Although, that seems like a very core thing to remove from Nordics, unless the upgrade is just one one island, like a previous Ys game.

FIFY: "Perfectly rated"
