I’ve really enjoyed all the modern mk games. X was kind of a weak point for me personally but I still ran with it. Kameos in the new game are an interesting addition for such a long running franchise but people always just want the same regurgitated bs so of course they were gonna throw a fit. But so it goes, NRS will commit to injustice to spoon feed everyone more super hero crap and they will all eat it up.
I’m loving the new dlc but I also really enjoy mk1. The gameplay itself is by far in its best place it’s been since launch and the same for can be said for the modes like invasions. The twisted timeline stuff can be hit or miss but it does lend well to the random fights in invasions. I guess $50 is pricey but many other online games have $40 battle passes and basically only provide cosmetics. I guess if you don’t like mk1 to begin with then you’re gonna be disappointed when the dlc doesn’t “fix” the game.
I thought it was pretty good. The ghost reveal obviously but some of that other stuff caught my eye. Loved the art style of that first indie game they showed!
An overly dramatic article written for an overly dramatic fanbase. The live service market is incredibly hard to crack but one that Sony needs to pursue regardless. It was always going to be a shotgun approach as almost all of these games, regardless of company, die fairly quickly. Remember how much everyone liked The Finals? And then we stop hearing about it a month later. I never played concord but I guess the gameplay was good (as pushsquare loved to preach). People didn’t react well to it and so it goes, on to the next try.
I came to the understand that the snitch was suppose to be ultra hard to catch and didn’t happen very often. When I was young I use to think quidditch was pointless but as I got older I realized what Harry Potter was accomplishing was suppose to be a Herculean feat. Not sure the movies do a good job explaining that when all we ever see is the snitch being caught.
Astro looks awesome. I was also pretty interested in the dynasty warriors game. Everything else looked decent but I don’t expect everything to be for me so I’ll take two winners.
Super excited for this! Ys 8 was my first in the series and is now one of my favorite games of all time. I haven’t got around to 9 yet because I wasn’t super in to the drab aesthetic but 10 looks amazing!
Man I think this month is awesome! As a racing fan I’ve had my eye on the Lego game. Not sure id play the power wash game but sable is definitely something I’d try out!
It was a good showcase for games coming to ps5. Who cares that a lot of the games were third party. Is showing Alan wake 2 or dragon dogma 2 any worse than showing Ghost of Tsushima 2? I don’t thinks so. Trolls on the internet just want exclusives so they can dunk on each other.
Vampire Survivors is an awesome game. It’s the first and only game I’ve bought for my Series S so far so it’s basically just become my console for that.
I bought Toy Story 2 the day it became available. I was feeling the hype for Lightyear at the time. Replaying the game was great. Unfortunately the movie was not so pleasant.
Great preview! I’ve been moderately excited for the game, but after reading this I’m stoked. The combat paired with the dualsense features sound awesome!
I played the game through ps+ and loved it, but I didn’t get to the game until a few months after the game had released, and it was still very buggy. The whole ending cutscene to the story never played, and after some confusion, I had to just go on YouTube to look it up and watch it. So to say that a game in that state would have sold so much better than the equivalent they were compensated might be a stretch.
At first glance I thought this list had some pretty big omissions, but it’s hard to make an encompassing indie list when so many indies are just PS4 games playable on the PS5.
I feel like this article is about a bunch of nothing. They offered Tiny Tina’s for free not long after stand alone expansion came out. Regardless of the price it’s widely regarded as good and worth playing. Doing that to market for a game based on the expansion that is about to come out makes sense. I follow video games so I knew about the expansion, and as someone who has never played borderlands, I bought it to test the waters for Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Most people don’t know about the stand alone expansion’s release, so offering it creates the same opportunity for a much wider audience.
This might be my most anticipated game right now. It sucks to have to wait a little longer, but as someone who waits for a patch or two to play most games, I’ll always welcome the extra polish.
I finally got around to playing returnal and just beat it the other day. I didn’t find it to be very difficult and I don’t think I’m particularly good at video games. I guess the looping nature of it turns people off.
Any word on dualsense features? I was hoping they would be implementing something when I saw the announcement. Seems like a perfect game for adaptive triggers.
Honestly I’ve never really played any asymmetric multiplayer games, but as a big db and anime fan I think this looks awesome! I think the idea is great and it’s not another area brawler. Hopefully they can pull it off because I’ve seen a lot of positive reception to this.
Just picked up Onimusha! After playing Kena and working my way through KoA, I’ve been loving the return to that old school feel. I’ve heard the samurai jack game is also similar, so I might have to pick that up while it’s on sale as well.
I’ve never got around to playing a borderlands game, but I think Tiny’s wonderland looks interesting. Is this dlc worth starting out with to get a bite sided introduction to the series?
As someone who only buys digital at this point, I like when collectors editions are done this way. Honestly, having to buy the disk has deterred me away from buying special editions in the pst.
@SM1FFY01 That’s not what all the ps news sites were saying at the time but you might know something I don’t. PS Blog even stated that the ps5 version was going to take advantage of dualsense features.
I thought the trailer looked decent. Although, they should have realized that the guy wearing the light up cat helmet was a little too Fortnite for people these days.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
Was considering it but decided to keep my plate open for Astro bot and space marines. So just small games for my next couple weeks.

Re: King Kong Game Skull Island: Rise of Kong Announced for PS5, PS4
I don’t know why people are so critical. I think it’s a fun idea having kong slowly take over an island. Could be a pretty good ps2 era brawler.

Ys VIII, what a masterpiece!
Re: Indie Not on PlayStation Beats PS5, PS4's Biggest Hits to BAFTA's Game of the Year

I’ve really been enjoying my time with this game. It takes some getting use to, but I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a fun multiplayer shooter.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
I didn’t want to see any more on GoW so I skipped that trailer.
Re: Rumour: Lower Your Expectations for Tonight's State of Play
“Minor games” is music to my ears. They show too much of the first party AAA games that I will buy regardless.

Never heard of this, but anything with dualsense implementations has me intrigued. I’ll have to check it out.

Re: GTA Trilogy's PS5, PS4 Soundtracks Missing Songs from PS2 Originals
Outrage about this is ridiculous. With the nightmare that is licensed music, I no don’t know how anyone truly expected otherwise.

Finally starting Returnal, and enjoying it so far. I’ll be playing Crash Drive 3 when taking breaks from that.
