@WiiWareWave Yeah, I'm betting the economy is better off than someone can raise a billion but still wind up in debt

Lot of junk or filler there, at least to me. Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei only thing I'm remotely excited about

Left and right pic, yes. Middle pic looks like something from a joke Chris Rock would get slapped over.

@Deadhunter Slept on by gamers, maybe, but pretty well exposed by gaming sites. And you are right, excellent game

Reading this article gave me a migraine, for some reason.

Not counting my own opinion, I really see Astro Bot due to the wide appeal. Some of these games, while popular, are also very niche. Again, that's not MY GOTY, that probably goes to Metaphor, but if I'm predicting the winner, I'd go with Astro Bot.

Dragon Age:Veilguard. Not as bad as people are making it out to be but not quiet the masterpiece critics made it out to be. I'm still having fun it borrows mechanics from almost every AAA game in the last decade.

Games. Work on games.

Tried this on iPhone a year or two back, quit within about 20 minutes.

Fantasian Neo Dimension looks like someone used an RPG maker and spent 10 minutes learning how to make a game.

A problem Sony made. I'll wait until at least there is a "must play" Pro enhanced game. Haven't seen one yet.

GOTY in a category, I can see, but GOTY all around, nah. Just like my GOTY is Metaphor, even though I know the most likely GOTY is Astro Bot. It's just more approachable and mainstream. Will I cry if Balatro gets it? No, but I just don't see that happening.

@UltimateOtaku91 I've really only heard doom and gloom around Xbox, and maybe deservedly so. Not sure where you're hearing Sony is in trouble. I don't think anyone believes that.

Depends on the games, but I might be more likely to buy this than a Pro. Again, if the games are there.

Metaphor is my GOTY.

With so much of a backlog it's rare that I refire a game to play a DLC. They should keep moving forward, as well.

I absolutely loved this game and played it for the first time this year. Having said that, I think remakes and retrogrades should be primarily ignored for GOTY awards. Unless you've done something like FF7, which is barely either and more of a new game with same characters, GOTY should be off the table. Not that I really care either way, but it's not a stretch that this isn't going to be a GOTY contender, and I'm more shocked that anyone else is shocked.

Announced on Bluesky. That checks.

Parent if you won't parent, then the nanny government will do it for you.... I guess

@Yozora146_ Call me dumb, but what is 7RE3? Resident Evil??

Will this come off like Sony's PS3? Are we too far into what should have been 3/4 of a product console life cycle, without a pandemic? Do devs have to put in the effort to make this a worthwhile investment? Does that effort rely on adoption rate?

If this came with disc drive, I think it takes off. The fact it doesn't even come with that, or a stand, but costs more than a standard PS5 with a disc drive, this may be a swing and a miss, and Sony comes off as tone deaf.

Time will answer all of these questions and whether this rings true or not.

I'd say it doesn't look good, right now, but I'm always pleasantly surprised when it comes to gaming, and my level of cynicism is proven wrong.

@Steel76 Yeah, the cringe (even if you leave out the controversial ones) is next level. I'm so confused how people don't see it or maybe just don't want to see it.

@Yusuo Feel the same way about RTS games or isometric RPGs where you can have over a dozen spells, etc (BG3, DoS series). How anyone plays those with a controller is beyond me. I guess if you've never played games any other way...

Both look great.

Looks like it was remastered from the PS2 to play on the PS3

Maybe after Metaphor Fantastico. (Which is quickly becoming a contender for my GOTY)

@Waitinonpsvr2 oh, I assure you, it's not been perfected. Just more glitter on a turd.

@Cal_ Definitely sounds like a turd but an innovative one. I do like the idea of studios trying to be creative. I'm not much into stealth games sense I have the reflexes of an over 50 yo gamer, so wasn't very likely to play this, but like the concept.

@Marquez Hate it for (some) of their employees. Hope the community director goes first, and good riddance to the company itself.

Self-fulfilling prophecy. The more digital only machines you sell the more percentage of digital games will be purchased. I like to "almost" own my games but afraid I'm going to be in the minority, along with most people who visit this site. I'm not knocking digital fans, but I like more choices not less, in consumerism, and do not look forward to a future with zero physical console games.

CNN said inflation was in our heads...

I quit the original halfway through for some odd reason I can't remember, even though I completed the sequel. Maybe I'll give the fresh coat of paint a try.

I think there's been a move to less creativity, and partly to blame by consumers and game companies. Fresh IPs are rarely rewarded and can mean the untimely end of a company. Hence all the remakes or continuation of tried and true IPs. We rarely reward creativity, anymore, and costs to make a game are astronomical compared to what they used to be. It's hardly surprising. I'm not placing the complete blame at anyone's feet, it's just where we are at.

Honestly, I care more about a Yakuza game, no matter how zany (zanier the better) but realize other people might prefer to hunt monsters.

Is this one of those high praised games that ultimately gets a 6 when it's released?

Got stuck on Astro Bot with that damn snake boss and zero checkpoints, so moved over to Zelda. I'm an older gamer so my reflexes aren't what they used to be.

@CriticalHit "Quickly" is about how long their next job will last in this tech climate. Time to work for the government or something, I guess.

@ATaco Let me know when someone is following you around repeating the same lines over and over. I mean, I'm married too but even she ain't that bad.

Man, I thought about picking this game up to try it but Ubisoft's "community" director said it wasn't made for me. Dang, too bad. Oh well, maybe if Ubisoft survives they'll make a game for me. Whatever that means.

@Tasuki Well, that's the normal course of the gaming industry, anyway. Produce a game. Fire everyone. Work on the next game and hire a new team.

@playstation1995 I believe you are half right

I kept Death Stranding on a shelf for over a year because I had heard how it was just a walking simulators. I kept finding better games to play and only cracked it open when I cleared my back log and the Director's cut upgrade was available.

The damn game is a masterpiece and I can't believe it took me so long to play it. No review does it credit for what it is and you really just have to play it to understand. I'm not saying everyone should like it but I did, despite my reservations to play it.

I'm completely and utterly (not) shocked

Scalpers eating large today and no matter what anyone says they will sell their crap and idiots will buy them. The whole reason the scum exist and in the dawn of AI we still can't stop them.

Most people with any common sense, knows exactly what the issue is. Unfortunately common sense isn't that common in 2024. We'll just dance around and pretend it's something else.

Will there be an edition without the rainbow?

No way to beat the scalper bots. I'm good.

The Mouse going up against Zelda's debut? Yikes.

I'm 100% convinced the term "toxic" in 2024, is just a word thrown around to blame other people for your own failures. It might just be the most wrongly and overused word this decade. I pretty much ignore everything else after seeing it.

@Undeadcop It's 2024, what did you expect? Most people wake up pissed off.
