@AFCC I really hope they improve the UI, map and menus at least, oh and the notorious game pace stopper when the antenna alerts us to the boring BT's ...
has been hiring for about two years or more, and still has lots of job openings. They have about 51-200 employees and still haven't said a peep about what kind of game they are working on. Taylor Kurosaki is CEO.
@get2sammyb I agree, but why don't they keep the micro transactions 'micro' as in cheap and just keep feeding a lot more small bundles or items cheap? I think they would earn the same bucks.
That said, it's sad what Apex has become. New players will struggle to get into this, it's bonkers difficult now, gameplay wise.
@get2sammyb it’s something mentally wrong with those individuals. Also i believe this will fuel the need and want for using AI generated models in the future…
Maybe some day. Let's just hope they put a real 'story' into the next one. RDR2 was a big "fetch quest". Beautiful for sure, but exciting, not so much IMO.
I really liked DS1 and I am looking forward to the next one for sure. But man do I hope they fix some of the annoyances with the menus, map, icons etc. and game pace interruptions during BT attacks.
I think it's a no brainer that AI at some point may be used and I'll be very surprised if the games business will be barred from using it according to laws, but who knows.
This new GTA game (if it's called GTA 6 or something else) will probably bee current gen only. And the brand is so strong that it will boost console sales and maybe get bundled with the PS5.
@BAMozzy That is a wise decision. Holy cra* I was fooled by the review. If anyone is calling Death Stranding a walking simulation, then what is AW2...?
I am shocked by this game. It's slow, disorienting, little to no gameplay for long periods of time, a lot of tiresome 'mind place' drivel which is unneccessary and breaks the pace (if there is any) and I could go on. I genuinely don't understand the high rating. I would say this is a 5 or 6, maybe 7 at best.
I've played 'em all since 2003, but I think I've reached the end. The fun isn't there anymore. It's all become so incredibly complicated in all respects... It's just sad.
I was not sure about buying this game, which looked like a movie in the trailers. But it is a damn good looking game and fun swinging around the city.
But the story is a slog at times, and the movement while walking around as Peter or Miles is extremely slow. Also a lot of the missions and side quests is actually quite childish. I've had most fun with doing the collectible stuff
I've visited NY City in RL, so it's a joy revisiting the city in such a scale and detail in this game though.
@NinjaNicky "do people really spend $90 to get a few skins and dances?"
If you don't know the answer to this I'll inform you that it's a big fat YES.
And everyone can 'waste' their money as they see fit I guess. Also, this is what makes this game free to play for those of us who only plays it with the default skins and only pay for the beer or soda we drink when playing ...

Re: Death Stranding 2 Subtitle On the Beach Confirmed, Out in 2025
@Enigk you could be surprised! I played the first one last year and it took me 6 months the get through it, and I still haven't got the platinum.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Subtitle On the Beach Confirmed, Out in 2025
WOW! Looks insane. So many changes and new stuff in there. This will be a great ride for sure

Re: Focus Entertainment Inexplicably Rebranding to PulluP Entertainment in April 2024
They really should focus on other things, such as the pacing in their games such as A plague tale … yawn.
Re: Suicide Squad Episodes, Characters, and Locations Coming After Launch
This is a joke at best, at least to me…
Re: Before Suicide Squad, Rocksteady Was Reportedly Developing an Original Multiplayer Game
Rock(not so)steady anymore ...
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
I will never touch this. Moving on and keep waiting on Santa Monica Studios next one ...

@Mikey856 no difficulty involved, so your fine, and so am I 😂
Re: DLC Review: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla (PS5) - An Essential Epilogue for Fans of the Series
Oh, and the trophies are plentiful and really Great !
Re: DLC Review: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla (PS5) - An Essential Epilogue for Fans of the Series
@Tchunga also there is a lot of permanent upgrades, so even when you die you almost always go back in more prepared and stronger. Just amazing.
Re: DLC Review: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla (PS5) - An Essential Epilogue for Fans of the Series
@Grimwood it could not be more far from dumb. It doesn’t get better than this!
Re: DLC Review: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla (PS5) - An Essential Epilogue for Fans of the Series
@get2sammyb exactly this! Just an excellent DLC. Loving it!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla?
Surprisingly enjoyable (since it's rouge like). It's definitely meaty and beautiful looking. Lots of work and love has gone into this one no doubt.
Re: Get a Crash Course in God of War Ragnarok's Free Valhalla DLC on PS5, PS4
Wow, this is great! I'll be trying this out for sure (and probably fail hard at it )

@Boucho11 That’s fine 😊

Maybe some day. Let's just hope they put a real 'story' into the next one. RDR2 was a big "fetch quest". Beautiful for sure, but exciting, not so much IMO.
Re: Soapbox: The Wait for GTA 6 on PS5 Will Be Excruciating

Re: Naughty Dog Drops Explosive The Last of Us 2 Remastered No Return PS5 Gameplay
@AdamNovice He's locked in the trailer menu, but I guess the Joel character is unlockable and can be used.
Re: PS Studios Bigwig Pops Up at Kojima Productions Ahead of Rumoured Death Stranding 2 Re-Reveal

Re: GTA 6 Trailer Debuts on Tuesday, 5th December
@Perryg92 color me interested
Re: SPINE's Cinematic CQC Gameplay Will Send Shivers Down Yours on PS5
I'm interested for sure. But we'll see how it pans out first.
Re: An Amazing Number of Players Have Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Platinum Trophy
@Gunnerzaurus Totally agree with this.
Re: An Amazing Number of Players Have Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Platinum Trophy
A shameful boring game story wise, so getting the Plat was the only meaningful thing to do and it was almost too simple to get it.
Re: Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann to Receive NYVGCC Legend Award
@Khayl You might wanna correct this in the first sentence I assume(if it wasn't intended):
"Naughty Dog co-president and lead creative Neil Druckmamm".
Re: GTA 6 Will Not Be Delayed if Voice Actors Eventually Strike
I think it's a no brainer that AI at some point may be used and I'll be very surprised if the games business will be barred from using it according to laws, but who knows.
Re: Poll: Do You Think GTA 6 Will Release on PS4?
This new GTA game (if it's called GTA 6 or something else) will probably bee current gen only. And the brand is so strong that it will boost console sales and maybe get bundled with the PS5.
But who knows, this is just my 2 cents.

@Cherip-the-Ripper yeah, same here. It was actually quite disappointing and cra* imo
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Alan Wake 2?
@Tchunga spot on, I’m also experiencing all these things. Baffled…
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Alan Wake 2?
@LIMA Agreed 100%
Re: The Invincible (PS5) - Hard Sci-Fi Adventure Tells a Good Story
Hm, I was interested in this, but it sounds just like Alan Wake 2 gameplay wise, and got the score both games should have, so I'll skip this I guess.
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Really Is Just DLC, Says Its Trophy List
@Enigk Yeah, I thought the same. How is this a good practice? I for one can't have multiple installs of these games.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Alan Wake 2?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Marvel's Spider-Man 2?
@Anke I completely agree.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Marvel's Spider-Man 2?
It's a 7.
