Microsoft will pay you for your loyalty (gamepass)
SONY will charge you for your loyalty (upcharges).

Just the facts for this gen.

Indy online games (rocket league, that colored blob game) released through psplus have been some of the most entertaining things that they have done through their live services. Would love to see more of that.

@kyleforrester87 the team has and continues to do a fantastic job. Thanks Push Square team and congrats on the continued success.

The word analyst tells you all you need to know.

I think holding their feet to the fire on early expectations is a bit harsh. With how many studios that have absolutely sh*t the bed with their broken releases, DL2 seems to be a really solid entry with all things considered (development hell, covid, etc).

Its great but I only see Spiderman.... lol

February - Probably not fussed?
2021 - Never have been

All I want to do is play an Angels home day game and be able to see the pitch

I think a lot of us would LOVE a NMS revolution but I don't think its going to happen. Overall, the game was fun but absolutely NOTHING that was promised and its clear that they can or will not make the game they initially advertised. For $30, its probably a fun game.

Sony should have a great month coming up with Horizon and Turismo. I am sure Horizon will score 9s across the board and put the spotlight back on the fantastic sony first party studios.

I definitely don't need every single game I play to push the boundaries of realistic graphics - looking at some of the absolute dumpster fires that AAA publishers have been releasing the last two years, this looks absolutely fantastic and I am not even gud enough to play souls games.

Since she is going to a new area, I can see how previous armor sets wouldn't match up to the sets she would find there or the threats she will face.

Definitely looking forward to these - the material and world is just so rich with potential and possibility. The Lego game is looking like a possible GOTY candidate.

Well, her cheeks did get bigger /sarc

Sony needs to be careful during this entire market correction - do not overextend and hoard some liquidity

Both Activision/ Blizzard and Bethesda are shells of their former selves - just wait until GTAV money printer dries up and someone buys TakeTwo

I really like the artwork but that is definitely not square's Laura - Square's recent Laura is an absolute psychopath

to be fair - it seems like most games end up in trouble at some stage of development

Setting up for a God of War/ Starfield Winter bash?

Dying Light Ultimate Edition is fantastic - they clearly supported the game and community for years and now are saying they will do it again. I am very excited.

Haven't played death loop (yet) but did play mooncrash (prey dlc) and it was fantastic.

I love that Guerilla Games helps other studios and am very excited to see the improvements they have made.

Please give Hogwarts as much time as possible - this is one game that has so much potential, please don't rush it and mess this up.

Crazy month - looking forward to all 3 big releases

Are they just hoarding the endless cash they are making? Doesn't seem to be a lot of extra spending going on besides GTA Online.

I quit subscribing mid-year - just couldn't find the value that other services offered. Not saying ps+ was bad, just saying it-who-must-not-be-named offered an incredible value for my gaming dollars

Looks like players can play Dying Light until they receive their Hogwarts letter in the mail

The quieter they are until near launch, the better. Plenty of hype and interest and extremely popular IP but controversy tends to fill the gaps between overhyping and release

As a frequent gamer, my current set-up with a pro and S has been great. I really don't feel as if I am missing much.

I am looking forward to this - everyone on the internet is a 'bad person' now so don't really care about hot takes.

You never really know how casting will turn out so wish them all the best and hope its a great show.

@Northern_munkey wow, psplus is free now? Fantastic. Will definitely play the godfall endgame demo now and not complain. I love freebies.

There have definitely been a few random trophies that have popped and made me laugh but don't ever go out of my way to find them.

This was one of my bigger disappointments this year. Hope you enjoy it.

Just wait for a massive sale. There will be a roadmap of patches over the next six months.

I think we are in for a real treat when the games start pushing the PS5 to the limits - Sony has created something very special here.

The AAA industry has created the purchasing loop of pay full price for a broken game or buy it for 50% off after it has been fixed.

OMG - why would you ever test the game gods like that?

It's not just the poor quality, it is also RockStar holding the review embargo until the last moment (as they knew it was sh*t), removing the older games from the online stores (as they knew it was sh*t), and are charging nearly full price for it (as they knew people would buy sh*t). They are making billions off of this franchise and still feel the need to do a quick cash grab on their most loyal fans. Its beyond gross.

Improved enemy AI is definitely something I am looking forward to as we move into this next generation of console gaming. Hopefully there will be some solid leaps forward.

Come on Peppa, bring home the bacon.

Whether you are enjoying it or not, it was still released in a poor state, review embargo held to the last minute, and charged nearly full price. Those three things deserve major criticism from a publisher that made billions from this IPO.

So we ended up receiving two half-baked remasters from publishers that have made billions from the games. Never underestimate the pure greed and depravity of the AAA industry.

They can't even launch a basic remaster of a 17 yr old game without it being broken and needing major patches? This idea that AAA studios can release games in broken conditions is getting completely out of hand and needs to be addressed by the industry. They are basically sending out betas and making their full paying customers work through the issues so that they can eventually (sometimes) patch later.

Congrats on getting highlighted in the release trailer.

I guess RockStar didn't feel this trilogy or their customers deserved much respect and pawned it off to Grove Street Games while ensuring the review embargo was held until release. Now back to making billions on GTAV.

This looks fantastic.
