Midnight Suns performance is actually insane. 26th would suggest well under 1k retail copies sold at launch.
Same with NFS the one time EA push the boat out a bit & it’s a disaster.

Happy for Callisto. The game seems fun enough & looks great. Worried about the studio at first, but it seemed to have launched pretty strong on steam & PS so they should be good.

@KidBoruto You need to get to the Cyber Sleuth games asap. They’re incredible- the best monster raising game since Pokemon G/S/C imo. I platinumed both after about 200 hours each. Well worth the money.

I love that you can capture any Digimon & turn it into anything you want- with enough de & digivolutions (which is recommended & encouraged). Imagine capturing a Rattata & it becoming a Mewtwo with moves from previous evolutions.

I did not enjoy Next Order. Traded it in after a couple of weeks but some of my friends swear by it. Just too much grinding for me.

I was planning on buying it at some point, but the review embargo date being pretty much day & date set of the red flags.

I’m not sure when I’ll get to it as the next few months are just filled with games.

I did enjoy it, but they got the balance all wrong between visual novel & SRPG.
It also has the tropes from visual novels, that I won’t spoil in an attempt to extend playability with multiple endings.

Glad it did reasonably well, but it’s time for more Story games.

They also said that Troy & Ashley will play some characters that aren’t ‘one offs’. So it’ll be interesting where that goes.

I’m really interested where they go with Bill. Nick Offerman is awesome & you know never really knows what happened to the character once Joel & Ellie leave.
Would love a prequel & epilogue episode once they get to that part of the game.

The site keeps crashing for me so I went straight to the link.

Please follow the digital trail & send the creams via post.

Also ‘Do you watch wrestling?’...
Yes I do which confirms my thoughts proportionally speaking that all wrestling fans are giant nerds & play video games as well😂

@The_Pixel_King Well that’s great too. Sometimes I’ll wait for Mimir & other characters to finish their story first, before I get off😂

Absolutely perfect so far. I stayed up playing it till 6am the last couple of days, as I just kept thinking 'ok ill clear one more area or I'll just finish this side quest. I can't think of the last time I did that.

Best of all there is so little bloat. Everything feels like it matters- feels big. The side quest are so incredibly well done.

Stray sure is a choice.

GOW:R & EldenRing are going to clean up.
No idea which will come out on top for goty though.

Sure hope so. CC2 are the best at what they do.

Off topic but I own the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy collection (steel book). Its definitely the most valuable PS4 game (s), which is so weird as the PS4 ain’t that old. Must have been a limited print.

@Daleaf Yep I’m playing the game on PS4 Pro. Not long now😁. Hope you feel better soon.

Of course GOW:R is 2 discs physical (data & play). Between that & the day 1 update it’s going to take like another hour.

stares at timer intently

@Splat Same thing happened to me. Worst thing of all I think that channel had like 30k subs.

Had to unsubscribe from ThaRadBrad as well, for the time being. He just churns videos out. Just a matter of time before I got majorly spoiled.

Literally just got back with it. Still in shrink wrap.
Had to go on a media blackout because I started getting random YouTube recommendations with spoiler thumbnails from random channels.

Can’t wait. I was in the middle of Metro Exodus, but that’s got to wait!

@UnlimitedSevens In most 3rd party cases PlayStation is the lead platform if the games are released at the same time.

More reviews=more opinions.
Some sites are weighted more heavily than others, which counters the click bait score a smaller site might give.

Using your example; Cult of the Lamb:

PS5: 8 reviews, 86 MC
XSX: 6 reviews, 88 MC
NS: 10 reviews, 79 MC
PC: 88 reviews, 82 MC

Unless there are performance issues a higher number of reviews will be a greater indicator of the general consensus. A handful of reviews will usually result in a much higher or lower score.

Metro 2033 & it’s kicking my a** even on normal difficulty.

Is this the first time in a long time that a mainline FF game is releasing without any major delays or development issues? It was announced late 2020 & we’ll be playing it 7-8 months from now.

I know it’s just a little clip from an early build, but if this is Overdose I can probably do without it. Just bring on Death Stranding 2.

As The Million Dollar Man used to say ‘Everybody’s got a price’.

OT. It makes little sense for Kojima to sell up. He can get a contract for a game from just about anybody.
Also the entire studio depends on him so if he were to leave or worse... it would leave it valueless.

@MrMeeeseeeks You could’ve googled this but it has a 93 & is a PS4 game.

No patch or native version for PS5.

Oh boiiii. Here we go again! Now a week to avoid spoilers like it’s COVID.

@iGotNintendoAtLaunch I’m pretty sure Sony matches employee donations.

Not sure if it applies here as technically it’s the fans donating, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they match it anyways.

OK I only got 4 too.

When was FILA last relevant 2011?

People need to realise that this isn’t that far off from the launch price of OG PSVR.
It launched at $400 not including the PS camera & the move controllers. Both the camera & the controllers saw massive spikes in price because of it. Most people that just got the base unit paid equal to or more for the complete package.

I paid like £40 a pop for both moves & that was second hand from CEX.

Having said that I’ll be waiting a year or so for bundles to roll out. There were some insane deals once the launch period was over with the OG PSVR.

Beat Saber & Astrobot please!

Honestly I don’t think every game will have a free upgrade. I’d be fine with paying a small upgrade free (£5).

@AndyKazama This is where I’m at. Don’t regret my day 1 OG PSVR purchase, but there were some ridiculous bundles within a year or so.
I will buy this probably around Black Friday 2024.

Hopefully there’ll be a new Astrobot by then!!!

@TwoPieceTanookiSuit Didn’t know that. That’s an interesting decision.

Well that was certainly something.
Also the YouTube comments are disabled😅

Expected to hate it, but that’s pretty funny.

‘Does a costume really help?’
‘Does a costume help you when you’re playing basketball?’

Lmao

Should be a staple in most RPGs, but it’s not. How else would they keep having you grind for the same weapon over & over again to get the one that’s just right?

Loved how it was done in Nioh & hope it’s about the same.

Not sure what it’s called but I believe he’s already created an account at a twitter elsewhere recently.

Whatever🤷‍♂️

@Snake_V5 How much do you think MS pays to put a game for free on Gamepass?

It’s all about the finances. FF7: R is a £100Million+ game. If Sony gave them 10mill for exclusivity that would pay for the gamepass fee many times over.

@get2sammyb Thats probably it then. I did think that it was too soon, but you never know with EA.

@get2sammyb Apparently EA’s going to stop selling discs in German speaking countries.

It’s only a matter of time till they’re all digital.

Well Blooper did take a new Silent Hill from him. Only fair he takes a new medium from them.

Kojima being Kojima & people still act like ‘how dare he!’. Death Stranding is one of a kind so I feel like whatever he’s up to will probably be too.

Well deserved!
I would like to see a return to William though. Character creator is nice but you lose something in the story.

Perhaps start with William & then unlock character creation in NG+/The Way of... .

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is going to be 15 years old next month 😶.

That certainly deserves a remake makeover. I wouldn’t think this project comes out before 2026 anyways so why not.

@Ravix You don’t have to worry about that in that case.

Nioh spans several regions but it’s level based- not open world. That doesn’t take away from the story though as it ties the levels together with cutscenes.
Sure you will lose progress if you can’t complete a level but there’re items that will let you escape a level with your ‘souls’ intact. Also there are shrines that fully heal you & replenish your resources, usually near to a boss (if you opened the short cut).

Also it’s very much loot & level based. So you’ll constantly be swapping out weapons. However you can change the look of any armour equipment at anytime you want so you can keep to a particular look i.e. change a helmet into a headband but keep the stats.

I believe it. Also runs at 60fps.

@Ravix You will die (lots).

Nioh 2 is standalone. The original Nioh had a protagonist whereas the sequel has a character creater.

They are excellent games & in my book from a gameplay perspective they top FromSoftware’s best outings.

Only early access Sacred Symbols is behind a Patreon paywall.
Everyone got to hear it for free on both YouTube & Podcast services.

I don’t really care for Star Wars, but I’m bummed about QD. It sounds like nothing is coming out anytime soon.

Liam wasn’t too far off. 7/10...69 MC. It does seem like reviewers are finally starting to explore the scale more- see IGN & gamespot.

If you like the Batman universe you will probably enjoy this. Personally I’m indifferent, but after watching about 90mins of gameplay I can tell it’s not for me. Nowhere near the Arkham games (including origins).

@Ralizah That’s the thing that doesn’t make sense to me.
The story is layered out for them & they’re going to get the visuals right. Even if the over the shoulder gameplay is average the game shouldn’t be anything less than good. Having the game exist is a whole lot better than not- the original is still playable.

@feral1975 One of the devs Neobards Entertainment was a support studio for a bunch of the Resident evil games. Pretty sure this is a game.

That looked awesome. I know they didn’t show much but it might be the one reveal I’m most excited for.

12/15. The stress got to me in the end.

@Martsmall They have also said that they will keep COD on PS for at least 3 years- which is the reason why Sony have an issue with the sale.

Would they still be bigger? Maybe. The thing is though unless your Nintendo 3rd party is the lifeblood of a console. Exclusives are the cherry on top.

COD sells 20million+ pretty much every year. You make that exclusive, some people will be forced to jump.

I do believe the deal should go through. MS made an offer- Activision accepted. The way Phil Spencer & co have been misleading people has been anything but professional.

Yes or No to COD’s eventual exclusivity. It’s that easy.

I’ve always been of the mindset of quality over quantity.
I’m currently playing FF7:R through PS+.
Game pass hasn’t been appealing enough for me to jump in. Their 1st party doesn’t do it for me.

In all honesty 9ft 6 is such a ridiculous height that it’s hard to imagine. A few inches off isn’t going to make any difference 😅.
Andre the Giant was 7ft 4 & that was unbelievable.
