@Netret0120 Sony has never done anything like this to cheer on. Purchase are not all bad or all good. There is prudence in life and and we don’t have to live nothing but radical extremes that just make everything worse. Context can change what looks to be a similar action on the surface.

Great, I hope the combat slow-downs I've been having will also start to disappear with this patch. Waiting 5-10 seconds for an NPC to finish a turn as it stands there doing nothing is annoying.
I'm also glad the magic mirror is also there now.

@Fight_Teza_Fight And not released it sandwiched between great and loud games. It was so poorly timed.

@Netret0120 In which case the regulating bodies should also have blocked them.

I wonder what the patch has.
The game could also use a speed-up. Some of the turns just pause in combat and it feels more and more frequent.

@Brutal That's insanely annoying and unrealistic. I have to reload saves sometimes because the wrong character gets into a random cutscene I didn't see coming.

Shame about the shallow dialogue choices after the Witcher 3. It seems Larian Stuido has just taken the crown there. Project Red had trouble after not having a established character to ground your choices in.

Wow, the obvious that they couldn’t see I’m the Activision merger. The complete failure of protecting basic consumer interest form the government is just astounding. I hope the UK does not back down. And then Canada said it was a bad idea, but we just didn’t work enough to meet the deadline.
MS will kill gaming if it buys too much of it. I really think the industry will just shrink if they get too much power. They don’t know how to manage their gaming branches, and that’s why acquisitions and throwing money have become their entire strategy

@gipsojo They've really run out of ideas if "Skyrim 2" ever get released.

"Microsoft doesn't have incentive to remove COD from Playstation"

Will the multiplayer still be playable?

Is it me or do some of the nicer images look blurrier than before?

@Kidfried No, a number of T rated games have beheadings. Movies too.

It also came at a time when so many other games where coming out. Armored Core, Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield. Etc. It should have been delayed to next year and maybe worked on a bit more. It got sandwhiched so bad.

@Tharsman Sony, MS, and Steam plus others would be furious if delisting meant already purchases games could not be redownlaoded.
Unity will probably have to adjust this to be only for future games at worst case

@SgtTruth There are plenty of games if you appreciate quieter moments as well.
However, this describes the new God of War to a fault.

@sanderson72 You can make game lists on PS5 which fulfills the same purpose as folders.

@REALAIS I mean, that's every Sims release ever.
I'm divided on it being free to play. If it keeps the current monotizatoin model with a million packs, sure, okay. The base game is already worthless even at launch to be honest. If they make the monetization even worse it's over. It's already completely overpriced and they divided one Sims 3 expansion into three for the Sims 4, and Sims 3 was already very overpriced.

iPhone games get lost to time so quickly. Essentially all of the good games are gone now because of iOS updates. Phones are an awful as a meaningful way to play games.
This is also a potential horrible distraction for game development and toning games down making their playstyle suitable for a phone without a controller. Yes, the tech is cool. No, this is not a good thing for us.

The beep is great, it’s a traditional and must remain.
How about rest mode not being a bright nightlight? I would love to have it in at night for downloads, but it’s close to where I sleep so I can’t have it on at night. It’s insane the bright light is mandatory.

The live action looks so awkward. It just makes it uncomfortable and they really should have kept to normal video game graphics.

@AverageGamer In practice, what’s the difference then?

I’ve been playing it on resolution mode and the frame rate seems perfect to me. I don’t see the issue.

Why isn’t furry listed as a negative?
There are great anthromorphic animals and characters, this screams furry in a no so great way…..

@mariomaster96 He got hurt, I was never confused about that, I haven’t played any of the DLCs, just the vanilla game (with updates).
One day I’ll play them as I bought them all and I’ll play the whole game again.

@Th3solution Some will lapse, but others will just drop to essential. I think the dropping one will be more notable, especially for premium, and the new subs will be less likely to get a higher tier.
I wonder if this will make a PS5 look more intimidating to get though, because $80+ the $500 makes it feel like a more expensive purchase.

@Matroska My point is that the games in the spotlight don’t feel like a genuine recommendation list, they feel like they were paid to put them there first and foremost. These being the 4 major games doesn’t feel like anyone at the site feels that way.
It feels more like an ad than a recommendation.

EA sports and Sonic Superstars and almost nothing else? This doesn't feel like an actual recommendation list, this feels like a paid ad. This doesn't feel like anything else the site puts out or gives as an opinion.

@VeldinX UK is England with added territory. It’s the same country for all intents and purposes in a game like Civ.

I never found anyone to play in the demo and then they turned off the demo’s online so I can’t see if anyone is online. Wonderful tactics.

Yep, premium just died.
Essential I should have stocked up on last time it was on sale. I’ll grab a couple years before this if I can and think it’ll hold.

A 100+ hour with a bunch of updates that say “restart the game”.
I love what I’ve played of OS2, but I’m glad I’ve been playing the patched definitely edition, not just the definitive edition. I hope they don’t do the same thing here, or try to minimize that.

@CastelloGG That’s a niche market. There’s a very small number of people that understand you can even hook up a KB&M on a PS5, and a niche if that small portion that would even do it.
It might be nice for a few people, but it wouldn’t make much of a sales difference.

Fantastic! Sometimes I wonder if the extra month wait will be for the better if I'm honest.

Good, I always knew the S was a bad idea. MS didn’t realize a dev would do this with a big blockbuster game, and now realized it may have been a while, if ever, they got BG3.
A weaker console was always going to hold things back.
I predicted this, and I think the S is going to start losing games at some point, or get terrible versions. Then MS will have more damage control due to another bad decision.
I hope the UK keeps blocking that Activision deal and forces MS to actually make good product decisions for the first time since the 360.

I should probably just vary what I do with my time some more if the normal TV won't suffice to be honest.

Bill Clinton kid was hilarious and waited for the From dev to finish (which he said he specifically did to not interrupt his moment), blended in perfectly, and spoke with such confidence while spouting utter nonesense, finished, and left while getting applause from the confused audience. That was an act and a performance.
This was a random heckler and just disruptive and interruptive with none of the attributes the kid had. Just poor and obvious.

I think Laurian (I’m sure that’s misspelled) with BG3 is taking BioWare’s spot in the industry. Bioware made the old BG games BTW, so that’s happening with BW own legacy in a way.

@Nepp67 None of the gore was important or really needed for the story and they absolutely did keep dropping F bombs in the game. Many more than needed to be there.
None of what you said required an M rating, the Eikon scenes weren’t gorey and the heavy topics don’t make a game rated M. Much heavier things have been in T games.
In also said it being M was edgelordy, not the game in general itself being full of it.

@DennisReynolds It’s FF in almaot everything other than being very RPGy. It was FF in the more important ways IMO.

Being rated M may have also hurt it a bit, and after playing through the entire game, it really didn’t need the M rating and the decision to make it rated M felt more edgelord than anything.
They made it M to make it M.
Fantastic game though

@LiquidouSnake I expect at least 1080P for any rerelease yes, and also, this is an expensive rerelease, not a $20-25 cheap bundle.

@XboxTheBestBox You say this like Xbox isn't getting the same 720P version from Konomi. It is. Xbox is getting the exact same treatment here.

Immortals just snuck up. It needed reviews and stuff beforehand to not get lost amidst AC.

@Zanao Where did they announce this? I haven't seen this when I've looked.

Crossplay? That would be a great update.

@somnambulance it currently doesn't have cross play, just cross progression as it stands.

I'm not sure casuals will want to play an older port like that. I imagine it might get more attention than sales. I also hope for that.

It looks cool, but I wondered how they can deal with jank. I fence in real life, so I could be extra interested in this, but I will also compare it to the real thing lol.

@RedRiot193 You’re just adding to what I’ve said. I said they released a 3/10 game. I didn’t say it still was. The point is that they broke trust gave gamers explicitly good reason to not have as much faith or goodwill. I never said they didn’t fix it, just that the changed perception of CDPrRD was anything but bipolar.
They’ve done a fair bit to some trust and goodwill back, but they how was loss of it bi-polar? That’s what the entire point here lies on.

@RedRiot193 It’s a valid point that CDProject Red wasn’t the gaming community being bi-polar. If they hadn’t released a 3/10 game that wouldn’t have happened.
Maybe we shouldn’t have hyped them up so much, but, that’s a different criticism to saying they got turned on after going from a 10/10 to a 3/10 at this publication, and number of others too. I don’t think that’s ever happened before TBH as well.
Now how is that “hating” exactly?
