@naruball It's the I'M NOT PLAYING AS A STRAIGHT WHITE GUY, IT'S WOKE BULLSH*T DURRR!1!
Weird how whenever a POC character or an LGBT character has a spotlight in a video game, they always have a mental breakdown. It's political duuurr!1!1!
I can't anymore lmao!

Extremely disappointed in Push Square tbh. I won't question individual tastes, but not having A Plague Tale: Requiem on the list is downright baffling. It trumps the majority of games you mentioned, but to each their own.

I'm not surprised by the lukewarm reception at all. Glen came off as an extremely arrogant person, especially when he praised crunching and we all know how often that happens in the gaming industry. He seems like a terrible person to work with.
As for the game, I never understood his need to make a cheap Dead Space clone. The story from what I've heard sucks and doesn't hold a candle to DS. It's not an abomination but seems forgettable.

@BoldAndBrash God, I just LOVE how every time women are presented as ugly, overweight gold-diggers in this joke, but the straight men are these hot/successful, rich CEOs. Can't you think of a better joke? Geez 🙄

Tbh it looked super polished in the gameplay video, so I'm guessing PS4 and XONE are to blame.
My only concern right now is the game getting buried with the release of Ragnarok.

I would rate it somewhere between a 6 and a 7. I loved the atmosphere and the cat is sooo adorable, BUT, I think the story wasn't up to standards, unfortunately. I wanted to see more of Momo and Clementine, how humans ended up extinct etc. If they ever make some sort of a sequel, I hope they address this.

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to actively promote the game at this stage? Guurl, we're almost in August and they have yet to release any substantial information.
Call me a negative Nancy, but this smells like Cyberpunk 2077. By that, I mean it's a repackaged PS4 game with updated character models.
Naughty Dog needs some proper direction ASAP.

That looks absolutely horrible! I adore the universe but good lord, this is such an expensive cash grab and they're not even hiding it anymore. The fact that they didn't even bother to add a dodge mechanic says a lot about this "remake".
I don't want to tell people what to do with their money, but I hope you guys don't spend your hard earned cash on this. It's not worth it.

I'm always happy to see my queens slaying!
This should be the norm for all sports games moving forward.

@jFug Lol! To be fair, Man of Medan was terrible, Little Hope was really decent (sans ending) and House of Ashes was pretty excellent. The Quarry was definitely on par with Until Dawn.
But I get it, the PS team isn't a big fan for some reason.

Hate to be that guy but why are people hyped for yet another generic open world game?
It's not going be an RPG, nor will it have a compelling story. Rockstar should focus on bringing a fresh IP with RPG elements, instead of rehashing old stuff.

I'm moving in with my boyfriend soon, so I haven't bought any games recently. However, I'm enjoying Apex Legends at the moment, so that's what I'm playing.
Have a good weekend everyone!

My guess is that they'll pull the plug this year. There isn't even a roadmap anymore, and to my knowledge, there won't be anymore single player content. Such a shame, because there is a good game buried underneath all that live service crap.

I'm going to be THAT guy and ask, do people still play this? I thought it was pure garbage when it was released back in 2020. Way too chaotic for my taste, with floaty controls, and the gameplay is dreadful IMO. I had more fun with Rocket Arena (dead game) and Knockout City, and they're also indie games with strong gameplay.

Watched the livestream, and damn it looks good. They definitely improved the gameplay and it looks like it's no longer a "trial and error" type of stealth.
I'm so ready! Just hoping they don't pull of a Rodrick lol!

I'm stunned lol. It looks so polished and the animations simply go with the flow. Focus hasn't disappointed me yet, and this one looks like a major winner.

@thefourfoldroot1 It's a soulslike action RPG, and they probably want people to try it out before making a final purchase.

@Col_McCafferty Maybe you should direct your frustration towards Jimbo? I really don't see why you shouldn't support a single player, AA game, and with Sony going towards the whole "live-service" route, you'll be sorry if you don't.

Super excited about this one! My gut says this could be a summer release in 2023 but of course, no pressure lol.

I barely finished the game. Yeah, it was THAT terrible and I usually don't say that about many games.
I want my 30 dollars back lol!

@Bismarck Hun, the fact that you're responding in a rude fashion says a lot about you. If you don't like the studio or their games, then don't comment on the news article.

I'm screaming right now. I knew they were teasing something!
One of my favorite RPGs ever! Next to Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
It's just a bummer that's it's so far out. Guys, again, DON'T SLEEP ON SPIDERS!

Gamers you better support this masterpiece. Prove EA wrong, and tell them that horror games can sell really well.

Unfortunately, this weekend I'm all about saving money since I spent a lot with my boyfriend lmao! However, I'm planning on getting Horizon: FW soon and Digimon Survive at launch.

@itsfoz Come on, you're exaggerating a bit. Sure, it fell a bit flat but it wasn't THAT bad. For me, the problem was the chemistry between the couple.

@Scob Lmao, it's not like they sold a complete lie or lied about a certain game's performance on PS4.

To my fellow Greedfall fans, I'm happy to say that Spiders is working on a new RPG that will have companions, romance options, etc. Basically, everything we had before.
Steelrising is something new they wanted to try, and they're not abandoning their roots.

@Elodin Sorry, can't tell you that :/
However, as I already mentioned, the combat is incredible imo and I'll leave it at that.

@Perturbator I can't discuss anything in detail since I was obligated to sign a NDA.
But, I can confirm that the combat is "souls like" and it's their best combat ever.

I was lucky to be invited to a closed playtest and I can just say that I loved what I played.
Definitely a must buy.

Fallen Order, because I ship Cal and Merrin so much! Such a cute couple lol.

There was a lengthy tweet about how they are a bunch of scammers and they have a "rich history" of promises that never came to fruition. Weird how nobody picked this up on P.S.
I think they even changed "studio" names a couple of times too lmao!

Edit: If anyone is wondering what the hell I'm talking about, here's a pic of their lies: https://ibb.co/5FcpDYg

@get2sammyb And he is doing a terrible job (from a consumer viewpoint). Just my two cents 🙂

@AdamNovice I know, it was just a dumb suggestion. My point is that there's always a way, but nope, Sony is interested in milking that sweet money from us.

ROLLS EYES 🙄
Or you know, they could always launch new games for a month or so, before taking them off so that they could form strong legs.
I know that my suggestion is the stupidest thing ever but I can't understand Sony at this point. No seriously, what the hell is Ryan doing?

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on "hard" difficulty. (I'm nuts, right?)
I'll try to sneak in an hour of Life is Strange 2, but since I have plans with my boyfriend, I won't be playing much today.
Happy weekend everyone!

Damn that's a big delay. I'm quite optimistic but one can't help but wonder what could cause such a long delay..
Oh well, here's hoping the game delivers!

I remember that there was some interest in adapting Vampyr, but nothing concrete happened so far. This however? Sign me up, it does have a lot of potential.

I finally calmed down after hours and hours of jumping around like a rabbit in heat. It seems they're going all-in with this one, and I just need to know one more thing. When can I preorder the game??!!
Just like @Korgon, I'm so going evil on my first playthrough just to experience that sweet, sweet Avada Kedavra lol.

@lolwhatno Sorry lol, but I'm glad you'll give it a try! And the same to you, hope you have a lovely day 😊

@lolwhatno I was one of those who called it "walking simulator". But imagine my surprise when I experienced it first hand. It's far from perfect and it's NOT a 10/10 game, however, it has a very unique charm that separates it from other similar titles.
I loved the story and I was fully invested in the post-apocalyptic world (except Norman - he CAN'T act), and weirdly, I couldn't wait to start making new deliveries.
The downsides include a bit of that open-world bloat, plot holes and simply could become tedious for some gamers.

OMG, okay, it's happening, stay calm, STAY F*CKING CAALM!
Please god let this be a late 2022 release, I can't take another delay ☠️

This looks like a game that was stuck in development hell for a decade and was barely put together in one year. Jesus Platinum, what's going on with you people?
I do hope they get their wish to resurrect Scalebound, because this... this is not IT..

Can't wait to for those mini heart attacks! Here's hoping gamers will finally support this masterpiece financially 👍

@CynicalGamer There were rumors that Witchcraft couldn't utilize the game engine properly, no matter how many times they started from scratch. My guess is that Bandai just transfered it to a more experienced team.

I'm going to try Scarlet Nexus for the first time. I love anime-style games so I'm super excited to try it out 😊
Oh and I'm going to play Greedfall's De Vespe DLC.

@dark_knightmare2 P E R I O D T.
It's an 8/10 AT BEST. Seeing it get 10 out of 10 on some sites just proves how reviewers are biased as hell. We witnessed the same thing with Cyberpunk.
Don't forget the blood animation that was literally copy pasted from Bloodborne....

@MarkMarky Thank you! I'm not a troll or a toxic "hater". I'm just being realistic and the circle jerk needs to stop.

I'm so going to get ripped apart for saying this... well might as well do it.
I don't think this deserves such universal praise. Why?
Well, let's start with performance.

It's UNACCEPTABLE! People ripped Horizon: FW a new one for its visual glitches but are suddenly fine with this?! I'm sick and tired of gamers giving FromSoft a free pass when it comes to their shoddy, piece of sh*t engine that always runs poorly, no matter the platform.

Animations haven't changed a lot compared to their previous games. Sure, they did add some cool horseback stuff, but controlling your character still feels floaty.

(FOR SOME) No accessibility options for those who want an easier approach. And before you start roasting me with those generic "Git GoOd!!1!" jokes, it's actually possible to balance it.
For example, why not give an option where you don't lose your money after you die? Or reduce the stamina penalty when dodging?

Graphics are... yeah. Not up to today's standards but I won't criticize them too much because I play AA games all the time, so it wouldn't be fair of me.

I never played it, but from all the reviews out there, I don't think this deserves more than a 7 at its current state. With performance improvements, it's definitely an eight out of ten.

Of course, feel free to disagree. These are just my opinions and I know they don't reflect the majority.

Looks rough? Check.
Looks outdated graphics-wise? Check
Looks a bit janky? Check
Will run like sh*t (probably)? Check

It's a FromSoft game through and through lol. There is nothing there we haven't seen before and it's still pretentious af. No trailer can change that.

BUT for those who stan the Dark Souls formula, this will feel like home. For me and probably many other gamers, it's a hard pass.
