Price shouldn’t enter the equation/final review score.

What purpose does a review for a single player game have for someone that buys the game for £15 have in like a year- yet the score will always be there.

Sure you can add a disclaimer saying ‘wait for a sale’.

It’s another thing single player games have going against them nowadays. A recent example is Temtem, little reviews because it hasn’t established a player base yet as it’s an MMO.
Could get a 9/10 for the 1st month because it’s new but within weeks it keep could have no one playing yet the score remains.

Value proposition is important but imo a reviewer should worry about the content of the game.

Does a game launching on PS+/Gamepass automatically become better, because someone didn’t have to ‘pay’ for it vs someone that went & bought it?

It’s okay I guess, but then again ‘Live and Learn’ is a high bar to even get close to.

Not been following the game much but seems like this will be a series rather than a one-off based on the lyrics.

One of the reasons I wanted to buy a Steam Deck is to play FM.
FM was basically my ‘me time’ throughout Uni.

I’ve not dabbled in it since FM17 as my laptop can no loner handle it. I’m all about the large database & finding the next superstar even if it takes like 5mins to change the day over.

I just hope it’s not toned down & they can get the control scheme right. I don’t know how they would let you scroll through 40k players though- that UI needs to be on point.

Options are nice, but given that this is the first alternative colour scheme I’d have to say this is a bad look.

Should’ve kept it nice & simple & gone all black.

They also did one one for Death Stranding which is the one to beat, but this is really well done too.

The ‘unannounced upgrades line’ was funny. I hope they reintroduce some more of the old weapons.
Would you really go into Ragnarök without the Blade for Olympus? I imagine most of the gods will be ‘immortal’ like Baldur.

9. Not too bad. Not too great.
Story of my life.

Ok I’m intrigued. Will pick this up when I clear my backlog a little.

Devolver Digital with another interesting game that their publishing.

100% Yu-Gi-Oh!. It’s about time for classic Yu-Gi-Oh to get an update. Legacy of the Duelist was released in 2015.

Time to get get back to basics the casual crowd has gotten their fill.

@tallythwack ‘Same old Arsenal, they always try and walk it in’

SMH 🤦‍♂️

Not that I was going to buy the game, but kudos for exploring the ratings scale.
One persons opinion. There are lots of games that I wouldn’t waste my time on for example.

We live in a world where barely playable is a ‘6’ & most games get a ‘7’ for being a game. I don’t think most reviewers have the guts to score most AAA games accordingly.

@tallythwack ‘Did you see that ludicrous display last night?’

Hopefully finish up Digimon Survive. I’m at Chapter 5, but it seems like there’s still a lot to go.
If I do beat it I’d probably get back to DB: Kakarot

@AFCC One does not equal the other. The Witcher & Castlevania are smash hits for example.

I’ve been looking for something new to binge but I’ve actively avoided RE given the choice of cast & word of mouth.
Went back to the IT crowd instead 🤓

Let’s have a reasonable discussion.

@RedRiot193 Please tell us of the games you approve of....

*insert ‘well we’re waiting gif’

Spotify exclusive? Is this a Joe Rogan situation where it’s been money-hatted? Don’t know why it would not be available everywhere otherwise.

This is going to take the whole ‘what does HK really mean’ to a whole another level lol.

@3Above Unfortunately yes. Wish I could say otherwise as I want the game to do well. It’s a visual novel first & an RPG second. Having said that it’s still Digimon- mature story, evolutions, engaging with the mons, etc. If you’re hesitant I’d say definitely wait for a sale or check some video reviews.

@Korgon As someone else mentioned there are levels. P5 sold 5million+ copies. SMT is in the 2-3million range.

A mainline FF game should be doing 10million+ lifetime.

Digimon Survive. After a real slow start it’s really enjoyable & intriguing.

Only issue is that this game is definitely more of a handheld title. Had to settle for the PS4 version because Switch physical was all sold out. Still a good time.

So after Steams cut that’ll be £2.1 million at launch. However with the cost of the port I’d imagine their launch day profits are probably somewhere between £1.5-£1.8million.

It might be ‘free’ money but if this makes PC gamers think: ‘I’ll wait for the PC release for PS games’ this really is a short term gain considering Spider-Man is easily a £100million game.

Cautiously optimistic. So far embraced have only really dabbled in the AA space. A new SP game needs to be at least comparable to the 2 last gem games.
Hope they throw everything at it.

Very happy with this. If there was any inclination that some time was needed they should take it.

I really feel that this game has the potential of being something really special.

@Milktastrophe Someone from the team had been working on the script for Shadow on a Subway in Montreal (Eidos Montreal worked on the game). Someone on the subway took a picture & shared it. That how the title & some of the plot points were leaked well before the reveal.

@jgrangervikings1 Yep I guess so. The Tomb Raider team certainly ain’t good at keeping secrets!

@Milktastrophe The script was floating around between the industry for a while apparently. Also according to them they only revealed a fraction of the actual script that they had available. They did add a comedic twist to the ‘read’ which may/may not allow it to be fair use.

Having said that Shadow of the Tomb Raider was leaked because someone was working on it on public transport with their laptop.
What does that fall under?

@Kidfried How’s it any different than Jason Schreier & co breaking stories? These people are given the information by people that have access to it, they don’t go out & steal it. If they feel like it’s worth reporting they will.

SE & Crystal working on Tomb Raider after the sale of developer & IP is worth reporting don’t you think?

———————————————————— I downloaded the episode on Monday so I’m glad I got to listen to the ‘uncut’ version. It was hilarious, especially with Chris doing the worst Brit I have ever heard during the ‘read’. The follow up on YouTube about the DMCA might be even more hilarious & would surely be more damaging to all parties involved then just letting it be.

I’m conflicted.... .
Hagrid s birthday would likely be an internal target day & it would be the perfect Xmas game.
Chilling in Hogsmeade with some butter beer 🍺. That would be too great to be true.

Expecting it to be delayed.

All these companies should’ve adjusted their expectations. Lockdown uptakes weren’t going to hold up. People have to go to work, do social things, .... .
I’m sure most companies will see a high single digit % growth as we go go back to normal.

As someone that follows wrestling I believe he was genuinely away at ‘Ric Flair’s last Match’ at the time.

Having said that Mick kind of deserves to get hacked like that with the BS he has been spouting.
He’s the ultimate fence sitter. Says a lot, but nothing at all.

The ‘game’ will be nothing more than a promotional piece for the band.
I genuinely believe this will sell less than 1000 copies.

@IonMagi I live in the Uk & have not seen a boxed PS5 since launch.
Scalped units in resale shops (CEX) go for £555 no controller included.

Getting my physical copy tomorrow. I really hope the delays have been worth it as the Story games were fantastic.

The games have evolved with their audience unlike Pokemon which has been stuck in the past. Hacker’s Memory is downright depressing.

@Tasuki Pro wrestling is about drawing money & enticing reaction. Given that Cena is still relevant today despite not having wrestled in years & your comment it seems like job done.
As far a professional wrestling is concerned he’s arguably top 5.

The only collectors edition I ever bought was Jakuza 6 as it was practical with the shot glasses😂😅.

I’ll break my ‘practicality’ rule if the highest tier is priced accordingly. £200+ & I’m out & obviously must include the game.

The world ‘literally’ gets thrown around a lot, but... this whole concept is literally the dumbest idea ever.

What’s even worse is that people will buy it.

Where is the: ‘I’ll get really drunk one weekend, order a takeaway & binge it’ option?

In all seriousness seems like they should’ve stayed away from the RE name & gone for something else.
Horror usually does great on Netflix anyways.

I wasn’t really interested but would like to experience the duelsense support....when I get a PS5.

Much more interested in the follow up:
‘Fetch’ 🐕
🏃‍♂️

I always thought they were a good fit for Sony. They have VR experience & Until Dawn is arguably the best horror game on PS4.
I imagine they wouldn’t have been so expensive to acquire following the games they released since.

The whole appeal of her is her size. They should’ve added a limited edition full scale sized statue. I imagine that would’ve sold out faster.

I played the the first game on vita & loved it. Will be picking this up in a sale eventually.

Crisis Core has one of the greatest endings of all time & say what you will but the slot machine system enhances it with the cutscenes in mid-battle.

I wonder how they’ll handle that, because the ending should be 1:1. Don’t mess with that.

I’ve been waiting so long for this game. So I’m pumped.
Only worry is that I’m almost certain that digi-volutions are short lived & they return to their base form, which I’m not a fan of. Would like my team of God’s like in Cyber Sleuth please.

Welcome Home Dood!

Could’ve gotten it on Switch, but that just would’ve felt wrong.

There goes 500 hours of my life...

I got 3 lmao. Far & away my worst performance yet.

Yassssss! Only just seen this I’ve been off the grid.
My favourite FF of all time & genuinely in my top 3 ever.

‘Activating Combat Mode’...Conflict incoming

Even though P5 is the best Persona game due to the gameplay- P3 is superior in every single way apart from soundtrack perhaps.

I wish they’d just update or remake the game with modern controls, but I’ll take what I can get

8/15. This one one was almost intentionally obscure...😬😅

@MattBoothDev Yh that’s a good shout I’m hoping Sony release this outside the US. The different regions usually operate separately so I’m hoping an announcement is incoming.

I don’t get the ‘there’s no need’ people.

By the time the game gets out it’ll be 9 years old! Almost a decade.

Compare Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 4 that’s 9 years as well, but those games are incomparable.

I’m more intrigued by the firefly edition, because of the comic books & hope it comes to the uk. I already own the PS3 & PS4 version so that is tantalising.

Great review. Will check this out.

Also all reviews should be done in rhyme format moving on!

@BReal Time to get Real pal.

I have no idea why you would comment on a game that you have no interest in.
That’s like me saying COD is the same game year-after-year, but it’s the best selling game of the year.
People have different tastes & choices.
