Console wars should be about sales and everyone enjoying games irregardless of system. Xbox took to eliminating that aspect. Now sales are falling for Xbox, quite a blunder keeping hit games exclusive to last generation consoles. Maybe buying all those devs wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Haven’t seen this much interest in a murder simulator since the Gulf War. The story outside of the revenge-murder part is great and full of heartwarming moments, too bad they get muddled up in the pointless anger scheme.
The game already hit the right notes with accessibility options, aside from graphics, there’s not much to change. Still liked the werewolf story better.
Last FMV game I played was Beyond Zork. Others like Blown Away, Phantasmagoria, 7th Guest and Myst were also interesting during that time. The most famous one was the Dana Plato one. A definite choose your own adventure niche of titles.
Despite the plagiarism, of which it’s obvious and foolish to think they chose this in development. Throwing a ball like device to capture, seriously they couldn’t come up with a different method? Guns are part of the game, why not tie it all together?
This game while interesting and cute, is just asking for legal trouble. Too similar to Pokemon.
Loved the original Timesplitters, the parody of GTA Saints Row and the looter shooter Borderlands. Enjoying Wonderlands right now. Eager to see what comes next.
It’s a shame the Borderlands movie is going the way of Batgirl.
Hated the game and story. All revenge, murder and torture. Completely ruined the storyline of survival in a post apocalyptic world. Finished it, deleted and won’t touch it again. Part 1 was great, the sequel stunk on many levels and ruined how I feel about the character.
@TIEMs I reluctantly finished it, the revenge plot just gets tired after awhile, but the game never shies away from it. Thankfully I don’t think we’ll see the Ellie and Abby story continue as the story concluded.
Our intrepid reporter has a special PS5, his is actually a day ahead. RE2 and Borderlands D&D are on my list. 3, 5/6 are the worst. Although it was fun in 6 on the bridge and roof, just made no sense.
Still chugging away at Nobody Saves the World. In NG+ atm, devilishly hard dungeons random bonuses. Also trying to get through the interesting, but run of the mill, Evil West.
Episode 3 was a crème de la crème of the show, the other episodes really drove home the extremes that the actors put into their various roles. At the end though, watching the world through the protagonists eyes brings great parts to others, but not so much for our heroes.

Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
Love the art style. The game gives me a Fable vibe.
Re: Borderlands Film Shares First Look at Its Live-Action Cast
Tax write-off too soon?
Re: Biggest Dying Light 2 Update Yet Has a PS5, PS4 Reloaded Edition
@Nepp67 The narrative tried to explain it, but ultimately fell flat. The game has a lot of plot holes.
Re: Biggest Dying Light 2 Update Yet Has a PS5, PS4 Reloaded Edition
@CallMeDuraSouka later you get grappling hook which makes traversal even more fun. Additional upgrades gives a nice weapon.

Re: PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Gets Adults-Only Rating for Nudity, Violence in Korea
The views in the Asian region on nudity, sex and violence are quite archaic and rely mostly on honor and family.
Whereas in America and other nations, we have a very lax and tame society that is mostly numb to acts of violence and nudity.
Re: Falcom Action RPG Ys X: Nordics Sails West on PS5, PS4 This Autumn
Looking forward to see what accident leaves him high and dry with no skills or equipment before this adventure.
Re: Immortals of Aveum Cost $125 Million, Branded a 'Truly Awful Idea'
Start small, if not at all. Seen too many developers with grandiose ideas that inevitably fail.
Re: Microsoft Employee Inadvertently Adds More Fuel to the Xbox Multiplatform Fire
Sustainability. Microsoft = SEGA
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Somewhere between chapters 7-8, really loving the entire Sugimon game. The island is also fun with the many Sleazy options.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Named Series' Fastest-Selling Game, Already at One Million Units
Playing too much Sujimon. Gotta catch them all, then force them into battle. Can’t seem to catch a sewer cap guy.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.11 Out Now on PS5, Includes Some Vehicle Customisation
And still no way to skip the same beginning segment of the game.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Gameplay Revealed, Out on PS5 in the 'Coming Months'
Looks bad, playing it on an Xbox judging by the prompts. So it’s watered down to sell on both Xbox systems. This, while interesting, is a hard pass.
Re: Hands On: Suicide Squad Takes a Lot of Getting Used to, and It May Not Be Worth It
So aside from the characters you’re playing, can you actually do anything villainous? Can you rob a bank? Murder innocents? Actually kill people?
Seems like a typical buddy romp to save the world, when you should be able to commit crimes. And that bomb in your head trick is old and used.

Poor kid, ran away to the ultimate nightmare.
Re: Until Dawn Reportedly Set to Receive New PS5, PC Versions

Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Removes New Game +, Puts It Behind a DLC Paywall
Doesn’t bother me, I only do the NG+ thing on souls games. A 100 hour plus rpg doesn’t get a redo in my book, got other games to play.
Re: Return to Oblivion in New The Elder Scrolls Online Expansion Gold Road
After selling out, fallout 76, and the mess of Starfield; this company has lost all credibility.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?

Re: New Alone in the Dark Trailer Reveals Fresh Look at the Haunted Mansion
Doing the ole 2 protagonist thing. It’s looks like PS4 era graphics. This needs some serious polish.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
PoP was interesting in the late 80s. Most people don’t care and possibly base it more on the movie than the old platformer.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Fans' Overt Sexualisation Can 'Ruin Great Story Development', Says Cloud Actor
Too late, plenty of FF porn out there with everything imaginable under the sun. Fanfic has nothing on what’s already out there.
Re: An Until Dawn Movie Is in the Works at PlayStation Productions
Hasn’t been a good wendigo monster movie in a while. Really any cave monster (the decent) will do.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Director Doesn't Get Fan 'Consternation' Surrounding Re-Release
Once through the murder simulator was enough. That story is not something to revisit, still dwelling on the fruitless tale of revenge.
Re: Lunar Lander: Beyond Is Atari's Latest Revival of a Classic on PS5, PS4
Played this game and another like it back in the 70/80s in the local arcade. Maze games, so many quarters.

Re: Naoki Yoshida Thinks New Blood Is Needed to Direct Final Fantasy 17
Yes please, while flashy, 16 was a bore to explore, no side paths, no freedom.

Re: New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (15th January to 21st January)
Do we at least get the update for the rogue mode on TLoU? Already own it.
2 weeks until Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.
Re: Waiting for SEGA's New Crazy Taxi? Fill the Time with Taxi Life, Hitting PS5 in March
Looks like the GT of taxi games. Indestructible cars, no tension, just the wait for that monetary ding.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel's Development Is Officially Underway
Perhaps a different city?
Re: 14 Games on the Way to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Feel like Just Cause was on plus before.
Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Previews Are Far from Positive
The problem with making a game about heroes or villains with ties to comics is that you’re tied down by canon.

Episode 3 was a crème de la crème of the show, the other episodes really drove home the extremes that the actors put into their various roles. At the end though, watching the world through the protagonists eyes brings great parts to others, but not so much for our heroes.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Plague Tale Requiem with rats, slingshots and 2 brats who get in more trouble than a box of kittens. Also Nobody Saves the World starring Nobody.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered's No Return Mode 'Not Recommended for Weak Hearts', Warns Dev
Only the main story had me hating the murder simulator. Playing a rogue lite adventure is more like an Uncharted adventure, killing is arcade like.
Re: Unleash Avian Rage in Pigeon Simulator Survival on PS5
Been wanting to kill hipsters since Infamous.
Re: The Sinking City Dev Frogwares Emerges Victorious Following Lengthy Legal Battle
It’s a great lovecraftian adventure game. Has some great detective tales, branching paths, a boat for travel down streets. And of course, monsters.

FF16 team, the ones who aren’t working together anymore. Gotcha.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PS5, PS4 Is Pokémon As Well Now
Loved this part of LaD. Thrilled it’s coming back. Now, if only I could understand Go.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Remake, Remaster, or Re-Release of 2023
Star Ocean, perfect unless you need to read. Text is too small to even attempt it, let alone any of the others.
