The part about games gripping the player emotionally and being remembered years after playing is such a big thing. There's a lot of games that got me emotionally and still stick in my brain.
Get more games on PC Square, specifically on Steam. I legit want Kingdom Hearts on Steam, and I don't plan on playing Rebirth until it releases on Steam.
I think Sony releasing a lot of their games on PC is a great thing, and I've supported the idea since day one, even before I moved to PC being my main gaming machine.
And I genuinely hope we see more of like what they did with Helldivers 2 and release new games on both console and PC day one.
I really hope this doesn't lead to Ghost of Tsushima being review bombed on Steam. I can't comment on Legends since I never played it on console, but the single-player is still top-notch.
Feel bad for the devs, they want to make a game for everyone to enjoy and finally implement something after getting the servers stable, and this happens.
Also the people saying Sony wants to "steal your data", take off the tin foil hat.
I'd give it a solid 9. Combat is a lot of fun, music is nice and the world looks beautiful. Side quests are really bleh and the platforming can be a little janky. I'm at the point of no return and will likely finish the game either tonight or tomorrow night.
While it is bleh that some people can't make PS Accounts due to region restrictions, it's not a big deal. I remember Grounded on Steam requires an Xbox account, and once you do the login, you forget it's a thing since you auto login when you start the game.
I get what he's saying, but I just can't trust anything Todd Howard says. They'll shorten the development time, but at what cost? They already have a lot of time to release a game and yet it still has dated gameplay elements and littered with more bugs then Starship Troopers.

Re: Soapbox: Once a PS4 Console Exclusive, PS5 Players Are Missing a Visual Stunner in Hellblade 2

I tried the demo during the FPS Fest on Steam and I didn't gel with it, and I played the original System Shock a few years back.

Re: GTA Publisher Claims It 'Didn't Shutter' Roll7, Intercept Games
Nah, they 100% know what they did, and they don't care. They shut those studios down then brag they saved x amount of money.
Ridiculous.
Re: Summer Game Fest Hosts New Game Reveal from One of 2K's 'Biggest and Most Beloved Franchises'
Really hoping it's Bioshock. Been so long since Bioshock has been relevant.

Re: Vague Sly Cooper PS5 Game Rumours Debunked
I'm sad that Sly is dead in the water. I really enjoyed them growing up and I even really liked Sly 4.
Re: Rumour: Is LEGO Horizon Aloy's Next Big PS5 Adventure?
Huh, I wasn't expecting a Lego Horizon game, but I think it would be a really neat idea.
Also the Lego Tallneck set that released a few years ago is the only Lego I own and it was really fun to build.
Re: Poll: Years Later, How Do You Feel About PlayStation's PC Strategy?
I think Sony releasing a lot of their games on PC is a great thing, and I've supported the idea since day one, even before I moved to PC being my main gaming machine.
And I genuinely hope we see more of like what they did with Helldivers 2 and release new games on both console and PC day one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528
I'm near the end of Another Crab's Treasure. Game has been an absolute blast to play.
Also playing some more Eggstra Work in Splatoon 3 Salmon Run.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Set for PC, New Report Claims
As someone that has went more PC focused over the last year, I'm glad to see more and more of the first-party lineup release on PC.
Re: Akimbot Looks Like a Ratchet & Clank Knock-Off for PS5
It looks like a fun time. I love me some Ratchet games and this looks like it's right up there.
Re: Prey 2 Fan Account Falls Silent Following Arkane Studio Closure, Ending 2,560-Day Streak
Sad that Prey won't receive a potential sequel with Arkane.
I agree with the account though, support your favorite indie developers.
Re: Tipsy Microsoft Exec Once Attempted to Steal LittleBigPlanet from Sony
I'm kinda curious when this whole thing happened. After LBP 2's release? Or during Dream's development?
Honestly, if MM went to Microsoft, I feel they would've been closed shortly after Dreams released.
Re: More Xbox Layoffs Reportedly Inbound as Company Attempts to Cut Costs
Microsoft are such snakes. Buy, buy, buy then fire, close, fire.
Re: Mark Hamill Reprises Role as The Joker for MultiVersus on PS5, PS4
Hamill's Joker voice is just too good.
Re: Helldivers Turn on Arrowhead Following Undemocratic Firing of Community Manager
It's a shame that someone is fired, but this is Arrowhead's affair with their employees, not the customers/players.
Re: Rumour: Hi-Fi Rush Dev Was Pitching Sequel Before Microsoft Closed It Down
Well that just makes the closure that much more depressing.
Thanks Microsoft.
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio Might Be the Most Stylish Atlus Game Ever, Going By New Screenshots
Love the art direction they're going for this.
Re: Hands On: Stellar Blade Does PS5 New Game + the Right Way
Finished the game last week and it was a blast to play through.
Re: Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, More Closed in Brutal Bethesda Restructure
Absolutely trash move Microsoft.
Tango did a lot of really fun games.
Re: Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement Backtracked After Brutal Review Bombing Campaign
I'm genuinely surprised to see Sony backtrack on this. I legit thought they would double down on their decision.
Well now everything can go back to the way it was in the Helldiver community.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Gets Two New Game Modes, Cosmetics in Final Update
I haven't touched this game since it released years ago. I have it sitting on my Steam account so maybe I'll hop back in.
Re: Single-Player Ghost of Tsushima PC Content Won't Require PSN Account
I really hope this doesn't lead to Ghost of Tsushima being review bombed on Steam. I can't comment on Legends since I never played it on console, but the single-player is still top-notch.
Re: Talking Point: Have Sony's Third-Party PS5 Deals Made Up for Its Lack of First-Party Games?
The third party entries have been helping with the extensive dry gap in first-party releases.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 527
Finish Stellar Blade then continue Another Crabs Treasure
Re: Helldivers 2 PC Is Getting Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
Feel bad for the devs, they want to make a game for everyone to enjoy and finally implement something after getting the servers stable, and this happens.
Also the people saying Sony wants to "steal your data", take off the tin foil hat.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stellar Blade?
I'd give it a solid 9. Combat is a lot of fun, music is nice and the world looks beautiful. Side quests are really bleh and the platforming can be a little janky. I'm at the point of no return and will likely finish the game either tonight or tomorrow night.
A lot of fun!
Re: Helldivers 2 PC Players Blindsided by Seemingly Sudden PSN Account Requirement
While it is bleh that some people can't make PS Accounts due to region restrictions, it's not a big deal.
I remember Grounded on Steam requires an Xbox account, and once you do the login, you forget it's a thing since you auto login when you start the game.
Re: OlliOlli, Kerbal Space Program Teams Shut Down by GTA Publisher
What a shame. Hate seeing small dev teams like this cut by giant publishers.
Re: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Dev Wants to Shorten Time Between Games
I get what he's saying, but I just can't trust anything Todd Howard says.
They'll shorten the development time, but at what cost? They already have a lot of time to release a game and yet it still has dated gameplay elements and littered with more bugs then Starship Troopers.
Re: Square Enix Game Cancellations Likely as Publisher Records $140 Million Loss in 'Content Disposal'
Kind of a shame to hear since Square has a good number of IPs that are likely going to fall to the wayside due to this.
Re: Stellar Blade Is a Best-Seller in the UK After Launch PS5 Sales
Really glad to see Stellar Blade succeeding, the game is a ton of fun. I loved Nier Automata and I can tell how similar Stellar Blade is to Automata.
Re: Another Stunning Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero PS5 Trailer Confirms Future Gohan, Trunks, Beerus, and More
The game looks really good, can't wait for a release date.
