Games honestly super fun, but I can see its gameplay becoming stale pretty quickly. Hope it does well though. Knockout City was criminally underrated imo.
People can keep parroting the same over exaggerated excuses as to why this game failed, like character and art design. But it’s much bigger than that. This game had a target on its back and people looking for it to fail the moment it was announced.
The quality still isn’t what it used to be which I’ll continue to point out. But that said I’m very happy with this month’s selection on both extra and premium.
The character design being this games downfall is so over exaggerated. This game has had a target on its back the moment it was announced before we even knew what the characters would look like.
There were a couple great announcements, but overall it was another pretty lame show in my opinion. Mafia: The Old Country and Indiana Jones coming to PS5 are probably my highlights. Indie wise I’m very excited to see more of Reanimal. Directive 8020 looks awesome as well, but I didn’t actually see it announced while watching the show for some reason but just saw it posted online.
The fact the developers have said they had to scale back the game to compensate for the Xbox Series S has really tarnished my hype for this one. Looking forward to seeing more though
I really enjoyed TP Hospital but haven’t tried Campus yet. Museum setting sounds far more appealing than the two previous games so I’m very excited to give this a go.
Whose fault is that? As the saying goes buyer beware. Think of all the games we could have gotten for 3 billion dollars from studios like Ember Labs, Supermassive, Quantic Dream, etc. Everyone knew it was a bone headed acquisition the day it was announced.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Assuming you meant Planet Zoo, if so, in my experience it is much more about creating things from scratch than Planet Coaster. If you’re on Reddit, I found the Planet Coaster subreddit immensely helpful in learning how to play better
@LikelySatan that’s definitely exaggerated, but the grind and micro transactions are both predatory af. For example, Agent Smith. No normal person will accomplish the tasks required to unlock him for free. So the grind is technically a ruse to make you think you can get him for free by just playing the game.
I’m gonna stick with it for a bit, but somehow the game feels cheaper and less polished than it did in beta. Also not happy about the gold I saved for new characters being taken away without some type of compensation in return. The new stages are cool though, and I like the addition of Jason and Agent Smith. I’m excited to see who gets revealed next, I just hope they don’t flood us with more DC characters.
@Americansamurai1 Sony doesn’t own the IP for a fighter, especially a platform fighter like this one. BUT they will if they the rumored acquisition of Paramount goes through.
Absolutely not. Feels like all there’s been is games from Square Enix and other eastern studios. Which normally would be great but has had a negative effect on my interest in things like Final Fantasy and even Death Stranding 2. I miss the days of getting stuff like Detroit Become Human, Order 1886, and Until Dawn.
Yawn. Honestly think the lack of new IP from their internal teams is actually making me less interested in the franchises and sequels I was once in love with. Even the rumors of GoT 2 being announced soon isn’t really doing it for me.

Anyone else entirely lose interest in this game based on the staggered release of the story?
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2024 Announced
@somnambulance they could give every PlayStation user the exact three games they wanted and people would still find a way to complain
Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Revealed, Astro Bot Up for 7 Awards
Silent Hill not even being nominated is complete bs. So tired of the Elden Ring circle jerk

Any news about new shops and or carnival type games?

Another reason to be glad I’ve left that series in the rearview

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Silent Hill 2?
Just got home from GameStop with my copy!
Re: Scalpers Want $10k to Try to Buy You a 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro
Sony should seriously sell those things based off player level and account activity. Give people with over 100 platinum’s first dibs and so forth.
Re: Zany PS Plus Oddity Mister Mosquito Is an Unmissable PS5, PS4 Addition
I beg this has a platinum attached to it 🙏

So tired of hardware announcements. Where are the f’n games?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 545
Gonna try to not play Astro bot today. Wasn’t able to put it down yesterday and I’m going through it way to quickly for my liking
Re: Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Charms with First Gameplay Trailer, Release Split into Two Parts
Unfortunately the more I see of this game the less interested I’ve become. Hoping it reviews well.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024?
There were a couple great announcements, but overall it was another pretty lame show in my opinion. Mafia: The Old Country and Indiana Jones coming to PS5 are probably my highlights. Indie wise I’m very excited to see more of Reanimal. Directive 8020 looks awesome as well, but I didn’t actually see it announced while watching the show for some reason but just saw it posted online.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for Gamescom 2024?
I appreciate what Geoff tries to do. But it’s been years and he’s yet to put on a single show I’d consider good.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Delayed to February 2025 Ahead of Gamescom Blowout
The fact the developers have said they had to scale back the game to compensate for the Xbox Series S has really tarnished my hype for this one. Looking forward to seeing more though
Re: SEGA Announces Two Point Museum for PS5
I really enjoyed TP Hospital but haven’t tried Campus yet. Museum setting sounds far more appealing than the two previous games so I’m very excited to give this a go.
Re: Halloween, Ash vs. Evil Dead Getting 16-Bit Platformers, Launching This October
Both look cool but I personally have zero interest in another platformer currently. Maybe in October I’ll feel different though

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Tomba! Special Edition?
I bought it but haven’t started it yet. Also picked up Thank Goodness You’re Here. Gonna be a solid weekend me thinks
Re: Capcom Wants to Make Mega Man Games on an 'Ongoing Basis'
Would love a Mega Man game in the same vein of a Ratchet and Clank game
Re: Xbox Console Exclusive Party Animals Will Soon Arrive Fashionably Late on PlayStation
Looking forward to this. This was low key one of the few games I was actually jealous that it was exclusive.

Why did you take out the “none” options?

Re: Planet Coaster 2 Adds Water Parks in PS5 Sequel Out This Year
@Kidfunkadelic83 Assuming you meant Planet Zoo, if so, in my experience it is much more about creating things from scratch than Planet Coaster. If you’re on Reddit, I found the Planet Coaster subreddit immensely helpful in learning how to play better
Re: Planet Coaster 2 Adds Water Parks in PS5 Sequel Out This Year
Surprised it’s releasing this year since Planet Zoo just came out a few months ago. But this’ll be another day one buy regardless. Can’t wait.
Re: 13 New Games Land on PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Can’t even pretend to be excited about this months offerings
Re: PS Stars 'Returning Soon' in Regional Rollout
I have a strong feeling that they either won’t offer or I won’t have enough points to redeem
that 20$ gift card anymore
Re: Sony Game LEGO Horizon Adventures Reveals Footage in Nintendo Direct
@VaultGuy415 still more powerful than a switch.
Re: Sony Game LEGO Horizon Adventures Reveals Footage in Nintendo Direct
Absolutely trash that this game is releasing on the Nintendo switch but not the PS4. Skipping it for that reason alone.
Re: Inventive PS2 Horror The Thing May Infect PS5, PS4
Gahh I still have my PS2 copy from when I was a kid. Absolutely day one buy for me.

Re: MultiVersus (PS5) - Fun Free-to-Play Fighter Is Finally Fit for Purpose

Re: MultiVersus (PS5) - Fun Free-to-Play Fighter Is Finally Fit for Purpose
Definitely a generous review in my opinion.
Re: MultiVersus Makes a Grand Return with Over 114,000 Concurrent Players on Steam
I’m gonna stick with it for a bit, but somehow the game feels cheaper and less polished than it did in beta. Also not happy about the gold I saved for new characters being taken away without some type of compensation in return.

So glad the sleeping bag was included in the moveset
Re: Soapbox: Once a PS4 Console Exclusive, PS5 Players Are Missing a Visual Stunner in Hellblade 2
This is actually a pretty pathetic article coming from you guys.
Re: Agent Smith, Jason Voorhees Revealed in MultiVersus Cinematic Launch Trailer
@Americansamurai1 Sony doesn’t own the IP for a fighter, especially a platform fighter like this one. BUT they will if they the rumored acquisition of Paramount goes through.
Re: Talking Point: Have Sony's Third-Party PS5 Deals Made Up for Its Lack of First-Party Games?
Absolutely not. Feels like all there’s been is games from Square Enix and other eastern studios. Which normally would be great but has had a negative effect on my interest in things like Final Fantasy and even Death Stranding 2. I miss the days of getting stuff like Detroit Become Human, Order 1886, and Until Dawn.
Re: Many, Many More Xbox Ports Plotted for PS5, New Speculation Suggests

Such a delusional take.
