@Jey887 Andromeda sold 3.5 million copies first week, and 5 million overall.

Anthem sold 2 million copies first week, 5 million total.

70,000 players is about 3% of these sales so far.

Let's wait a week shall we?

A 6/10 will be seen as a highlight to PS Plus users.

I enjoyed the game, but I enjoyed it when it came out 2 years ago.

Even Howard Scott Warshaw said oof.

@OmegaStriver That's exactly what I want from a game, and the majority of gamers who have disposable income feel the same way.

We are sick of people trying to make that into a bad thing.

White manly men are allowed. Large boobs are allowed, and are a very very good thing.

Find a different hobby instead of trying to destroy ours.

Is this because it didn't have a deluxe edition with a free pair of scissors?

@twitchtvpat You realise that in order to release a console in 2020 they would have had to be developing games years before that right?

The pandemic wouldn't have stopped anything coming out by now...

@DennisReynolds Just to add, people are touting Astro Bot to be the best thing to come out this year, do you know this is pretty much a rehash of the Astro Bot I played in 2018 on psvr?

It's a 6 year old reskin....

@DennisReynolds You missed the last point.

If titles are blowing up to the point of them only being able to release a handful a year, they should reevaluate what is important to gamers.

Games used to be tight experiences with 6-20 hour storys, now we have the same six hours of story content but with 40-50 hours of completely unnecessary bloat to hide the ridiculously thin plots that simply travel a straight line.

If you enjoy spending countless hours collecting pointless nonsense from vast environments that look pretty but are simply cardboard fascias with zero depth have at it, but I'm very tired of being peed on and being told it's lemonade.

It just isn't.

@DennisReynolds wow, what an absolute wealth of games to come out.

We are currently in year 4 of PS5.
This year they released 8 titles, 2 were remakes/remasters and one was cancelled. So 5 titles.

In yes 4 of PS1 Sony release 58 titles.
In year 4 of PS2 Sony released 48 titles.
In year 4 of PS3 Sony released 45 titles.
In year 4 of PS4 Sony released 27 titles.

When games are so big they can't manage more than a handful of games a year, perhaps it's time to look at what gamers actually want instead of being able to see a couple of extra people in the crowd on a Ratchet game?

This feels like emperors new clothes.

When I want max settings 4k 60fps I will use my PC, I have a PS5 for new Sony games, of which there are none unfortunately.

I got really bored at the tutorial and didn't go back to it.

@Robocod Closest thing I have at the minute is using my A500 mini with the mouse, it's still awesome.

@Major_Player lol!

9 games on the first bit of this feed are remakes or remasters.

This is getting really silly.

If they are doing this, how are they not including the one where it all started?

The Amiga version is still the best one.

This is starting to feel like a social experiment.

@BiosNova nope, spent thousands on gaming since then, but I actually value the money because I worked for it.

@AgentGuapo My wallets anguish will never tire.

@Yusuo @Yusuo I spent £70 on it, yes I am very bitter, such is my right to be over a faulty purchase.

@djlard Horizon 1 has been "remastered" 3 times now, yet still no love for Drake, the gaming industry considers him to be the antichrist.

Ugh.

Back to playing Liberation on my phone then.

Does this patch fix the story?

This feels like someone telling you to "make your own fun" because they can't think of anything to engage you with.

After TLOU2 it was clear Bruce Straley and Amy Hennig were the actual writjng talent at ND, unless they get some new blood in with fresh ideas they will struggle.

@naruball What you do in your spare time is up to you, but please bear in mind that the current birthrate is well below what is needed for any country to survive so it might be in everyones interest if people start breeding again.

This actually makes me want to buy it more, it's almost a guarantee it won't be soiled by ESG

I've preordered today to start playing at midnight, picked it up on steam though in the hopes the stutters will be less by throwing more hardware at it.

@Amnesiac traversal alone does not make a phenomenal game, it makes a good proof of concept or tech demo.

If what surrounds it is "cringe" then it is not worth playing.

Personally I have no idea what qualifies as cringe, but the dialogue caused my testicles to retract into my body.

@UltimateOtaku91 If you enjoyed, you enjoyed it and that is fine. There is no need to go after people that thought it was garbage.

I am definitely not someone that could be classed as a "PlayStation hater". I have been at every single launch of their consoles since importing the first one from Japan ahead of the UK launch, hell I even worked at Sony for a few years and got my name in quite a few first party titles including Resistance.

Standards and creativity have been slipping massively for the last couple of generations, but if you don't have 30 years of reference then you won't notice it.

We noticed.

@naruball Amazes me that people still think review sites give honest reviews and aren't just giant advertisements for publishers that invest in ad space on those review sites.

I gave up at the 2nd MJ mission. Started badly with all the bugs and glitches and then the side content kicked in that seemed to be written by a 4 year old.

I was absolutely flabbergasted that a first party triple A title could be so bad from Sony.

Except for Rebirth all of my game purchases have been on Steam since, and that is a first since PS1 launched. Between this and Ragnarok I lost a lot of faith in Sony and their plans for the future.

I'll be finishing of Immortals of Aveum this weekend, it was sat in my pile of shame, and I'm really enjoying it after about 15 hours.

Pretty solid experience with a mostly great cast.

This along with Ragnarok will not be going into my Steam library under PlayStation games.

Considering I noped out at the second MJ mission, for me, nothing of value was lost.

@Lanmanna I've played more games in the last 40 years than you will ever play.

And yes I have played it, and it's a reskin of TLOU/Resi2/3/generic cardboard blandness that we have been having for the last 5 years.

These things aren't made for gamers, they're made for tourists who don't want to be challenged in any way but want to say they have experienced something.

@glennthefrog I'm pretty sure they're in my pile of shame.

Somewhere.

"Strong writing and likeable characters"

X Doubt.

Gaming industry is 100% in the toilet right now.

Remasters, remakes, reskins. It's getting ridiculous, and the new IPs seem like they were written by 3 year olds.

@TrickyDicky99 it's getting really silly now.

I bought it on PS4, and I also bought it on PC.

Unless they add new content it would be a very foolish purchase, I've already completed the first one to 100% 3 times.

People scoring it above a 5 have never played the original Silent Hill 2, or absolutely did not understand the game.

Sublime?

They turned a psychological horror game into a third person shooter.

Absolutely awful remake that does a massive disservice to the original, but I suppose the industry needs a win right now.

That...doesn't sound impressive.

People seem to be coming up with new ways every week to excuse poor performance.

"Well, it's better than x and y, but not z"

Too many participation trophies knocking about.

This must be breaking GDPR laws in Europe too then, and they are a lot stricter than most countries rules about data, why aren't the EU involved in this one since it's a French company?

@PuppetMaster How many of those are first party titles?

That is what I'm getting at...

Is anyone excited to pay £900 to play a game they bought 4 years ago?
