@General_Disarray It's #1 on xbox digital sales for what it's worth. I guess we'll see what the boxed sales are like next week. I do wonder how much it being on gamepass skews the sales @Tharsman Seems like it yh, unrelated sidenote but what's your pfp?
@Smiffy01 how'd you manage to evade the meaning of Kaiju for so long ๐ฎEspecially with Legendary's monsterverse franchise growing and toho movies lately
What's gonna happen with madden 25? Is it gonna get a different name or will there be 2 madden 25s?
@Member_the_game man I really wish they would, don't play 2k sports titles and I always see them catch lots of slack but for what it's worth they, apparently, make very good games. So if anything just making ea anxious would be worth it.
@Olmaz that's fair. I don't actually even like the genre to begin with but I somehow manage to quite enjoy the games in it. What do you think were some of the standout soulslikes? I hope The Lords of Fallen manages to wow as well, I've seen most of the promo stuff they've put out and it looks amazing. But the other lords of the fallen game supposedly was quite abysmal so I don't know what to expect lol
@Cashews huh I never knew IW made the original cod or was ever even independent ๐ฎ You've proven to be quite a treasure hove on old gaming history dear Cashews
@commentlife well the game's been out for over three years. (Feb 2020)
Sony saw it wasn't worth their efforts and figured they will stop support for the title back in April.
I think the the good folks in the comments are just wondering why Sony didn't feel the need to offer this first party game sooner to see if it might be worth to stick around instead.
There have been complaints surrounding the samey-ness of sony's first party offering, this game is pretty far apart from the standard. Hence, I believe, some people are 'upset'.
Not exactly rocket science mate
@Ravix yeah sames.
I wasn't struggling with wins or playing in general last year so I never bothered looking some stuff up. Especially when I got introduced to the world of cancelling skill moves. Skill moves are already beyond me but there are people who do half a skill move, cancel it and go on to a different skill move right after. That's mad.
And the physics in 23 are proper ***** yeah. I didn't start playing again until it hit ea play but it's such a mess now.
@Ravix yhh L2 passes are sick. You ever try tapping L1 before receiving the ball? Should control it better, it should switch to your preferred foot iirc
@Cashews does the AI stuff ever get explained thoroughly in the main novels? Or do you need to read one of the other books for it? I've been meaning to start Dune Messiah already and probably will somewhere next month but the whole stance on AI and the use of it has been a bit confusing regarding the war that preceded it but every house still has a mentat ๐ค
Heard of this documentary before but didn't want to give it a try because 32 episodes seems like a lot but I'll be sure to now! Beautifully written mate ๐
@PixelDragon I discovered that fact a few years back, console library wasn't even that big but booting up steam for the first time and scouring the sales proved very disappointing.
YongYea's a great youtuber but this is hella wack lmfao Sounds like some discount asmr. But who cares man, a travesty playing these games with the english dub anyway unless you're forced to. Truly yongyea out lol
Really want to give Sekiro a shot, what did you think of it? (what games of the series did you prefer in general too)
Ah man I hope I don't manage to negatively influence your opinion of me all that much now given that I have to answer that question ๐ญ๐ I quite liked Sekiro, for context I suck at parrying, whenever a game gives you the option to use parry and it's not anywhere near to vital, so really just optional, I never use it, I just dodge or block in games. So Sekiro is a game I never wanted to try out because it was as parry heavy as it is. I had however, prior to trying Sekiro, completed Nioh 2 & Demon's Souls and was left wanting more so I checked it out, went on to play Bloodborne as well afterwards which was as recent as last month. If I had to rank them (best to worst), Elden Ring (basically my first fromsoft game), sekiro, ds3 (even though I haven't completed it), bloodborne or demon's souls remake. Demon's Souls was just plain annoying, it did look nice but in every possible facet of a game it was sadly the progenitor to all of the other soulslikes, which just made it plain inferior imo. Some boss fights were cool though, some pretty cool standout moments in general but wouldn't recommend it to anyone (lest you be a soulsfan). Bloodborne was majorly disappointing I've always heard it was more atmospherical than the other games, more aggressive as well and I was looking forward to the lovecraft influences, but it sadly wasn't all that much. I've read a few HPL novels prior to playing so I had certain expectations, they just weren't met. Also of note, I did originally try playing bb some 4/5 years back but never got past Gascoigne, this time around I didn't die more than 5 times a boss, got to go through most bosses first time and didn't have much of a problem navigating the areas either, it was all just a bit lacklustre, and I had a constant feeling the game was a bit small in size. I did however not play the DLC, which I have read and seen enough about to know it probably is worthwhile. So yeah you can probably notice I'm not a regular fromsoft fan lol Sekiro was great though, I've always read playing it was like dancing, which when you try it and get to Genichiro will probably become very evident. It had some ***** design here and there but overall a great game, boss fights were very neat and gangsta.
@lolwhatno
That's all good brother, mental health is underrated and whether it's related or not I'm glad you took the decision to focus on yourself, still missed ya though buddy, ever a ray of sunshine ๐ฅน
I've been swell.
did you buy GT7 yet?
Ayooo you just made me realize I've been postponing buying that ***** for over a year now ๐
Ngl they have been adding a lot of stuff over the year, and it looks as neat as ever but atm I'm just waiting for the new forza to scratch that sim itch.
I almost forgot btw, you're big on fromsoft right? Your pfp reminded me of it ๐
I've recently dug more into their library, finished sekiro, bloodborne and the demon's souls remake.
Been thinking about digging into dark souls (1 or 2, 3 I've already done for the most part) as well but I don't really wanna go into it alone ๐ฎโ๐จ
May your ventures be bountiful, happy eid โฅ๏ธ๐
@tallythwack I've recently taken the time to watch the alien & predator movies, liked some, disliked some. But alienยณ stands as the only movie I haven't watched of the lot because when I read of it, it all goes both ways, which version did you watch (or would you recommend)? I prefer Aliens over Alien*
@lolwhatno in fairness there's still quite a lot of surprising (couch) co-op games (on console) so it's not that farfetched. Where have you been btw, missed you for like a year ๐ญ๐ญ
Will probably wait for a dlc bundle sale when it's all released, and reviews, before potentially buying it. I loved the game though, great soundtrack and visuals, gameplay could be worked on but overall one of the few games I would actually pay full price for despite not playing it all that much.
@FatalBubbles why do people hate ffxv again? ๐ I started gaming a year or so after and didn't play ffxv (my first final fantasy) until about a year or two after that and thought it was pretty excellent. If anything I'm led to believe all final fantasy games are bad lol
