@LogicStrikesAgain Unfortunately I can barely even stream one episode of a TV show, my internet is lousy. So streaming a game would be torture. But I’m glad people can enjoy doing so. I think it’s interesting from what you said.
I’m not particularly a FromSoftware fan, actually it wasn’t until last night I learned I have one of their games and hopefully I like it. But I am disappointed this works out poorly for Spike Chunsoft. I like what they make, especially on Nintendo. Don’t get me wrong, I like PlayStation as well, but feel like SC mainly excelled at handheld ventures? Aside from Budokai Tenkaichi. To be honest I didn’t even know Kodakawa owned a gaming devision until these articles started.
@MFTWrecks I find it crazy PlayStation doesn’t have a consistent or ongoing toy line myself. Nintendo and Sega have Jakks Pacific, Halo has more or less Jazwares even though it is incredibly inconsistent lately. Even Square Wnix makes those freaking expensive figures in-house. Yet nothing from PlayStation…
Well if I needed any less reason to not be interested in Elden Ring, it would definitely be this. Seriously, this is a joke, like all award shows…
Honestly with all the hype and everyone around Stellar Blade, that SHOULD be GOTY. I finally got it yesterday, it’s taking a bit for me to warm up to it. I of course don’t care about awards, but this is ridiculous. Even Silent Hill 2 remake should be in the running since everyone seemed to love that one.
Affordability is important. That said, my consoles and handhelds are long since discontinued, so looking for games is cheap for me. Except the damn Vita…..
I’m really not into all these new high budget extravaganzas that always come out anymore. Stellar Blade is a bit interesting to me. But I still like simpler games that don’t need flashy graphics to sell.
Soooo, is the Pro good or bad? Seems like we’re all changing our mind here every week since announcement. Week one it was a joke, last week it was the greatest thing ever. Is it really that decisive a console?
I’m actually really interested in this game. Where does one even order from typically to import games? I’ve never had to do so. This looks like something I would enjoy.
I was gifted a copy of Pokémon Yellow and a GBC a couple months ago, and finally have a chance to play it! May not be PlayStation-related, but I’m happy to finally have time.
I have zero idea who on Earth that even is. But at least we’re getting closer to the release date. I haven’t played anything in awhile and really looking forward to this.
@Northern_munkey Well yeah, I get that. I’m just saying that four Microsoft articles on a PlayStation site on one day shows just how much the company is slipping and heading towards disaster is all.
Is Microsoft EVER acting “in good faith”? All they want to do is monopolize the gaming market and prove repeatedly they haven’t a clue what they’re doing.
That said, this is the fourth Microsoft article today on a PlayStation site?! Good Lord, Microsoft is getting out of hand.
Honestly, with all the strikes, buyouts, companies being closed, everything else that’s been going on lately, I feel we’re headed towards another crash…
@TeiGekiLord That’s why I don’t participate in Xbox communities outside of things like getting help with my 360 really. They always act like Microsoft can do no wrong, but throw a tantrum if Sony or Nintendo do any of the same things.
They just want to buy up everything so they can still make money once they give up on consoles. I’m so tired of gaming companies just being bought up lately. Just leave things alone. It doesn’t end well for anyone involved.
Kinda makes it seem like Microsoft is throwing in the towel, huh? If any of their games are going to be on PlayStation, then Xbox is irrelevant. Exclusives help sell consoles, so if there’s no more exclusives…
I played it not too long ago, and yeah it’s glitchy as hell and very frustrating at times, but I did have a lot of fun. Finished Sonic’s story and I think about half of Shadow’s.
I hope they don’t scale back too much on single player games. I actually really enjoyed Square Enid games, mostly Final Fantasy though…Wish they’d make more spin-offs or something that weren’t just mobile games. I loved WoFF it particular. I’d rather have single payer experiences, because I’m not into online games or multiplayer too much outside what me and my brother play on Nintendo.
I’d rather stick with Funko. Much cheaper. Youtooz aren’t bad, I just don’t want to shell out $30 a figure for something that is basically the same thing I can get for $10-$15…
Just one more month to go! Hopefully. I don’t typically get excited for new games, but I can’t wait to play this! My brother rarely uses his PS5, so I’ll borrow it once this is out. This game looks so fun and charming.
The fact all these have better performance on the Pro, and I do remember some stutters and having to wait occasionally on FFXVI. It makes me wonder if the Pro is actually some super powered console, or if the base PS5 was underpowered to begin with in that it couldn’t properly run its games well…
It kinda creeps me out how they publish this stuff. Like, why do they need to publish the statistics of what players choose to do? I could understand in an MMO, but not a single player game…
@IamJT I just feel it’s more important to be factual and point things out rather than let everyone suddenly pick up their pitchforks over something so vague.
@Medic_alert “Stifles creativity”? Isn’t the guy behind the company on record for saying he’d rather just steal from other games than do anything original?
Plus there’s so many games inspired by others. Seems like there’s a new Metroidvania game every week lately. It’s fine to be inspired by something, just not copy it as close as you can. Which is basically what this is about.
Also the “ride a creature” mechanic is apparently more in depth in that the patent is about riding them in specific environments to perform certain tasks, probably like Sun & Moon.
I’m not necessarily siding with Nintendo per se, just more pointing out the fact that they are within reason to sue Pocket Pal.
@Medic_alert Except you can’t exactly patent stuff like that…Pretty sure sword characters and elves in games existed long before Nintendo made games with them. Like on Atari…
This is one game by a notoriously bad company. It’s not going to turn the entire industry upside down. There’s TONS of monster catching games. Yet they’re all perfectly fine and even available, and a couple were even promoted by Nintendo on their Indie Showcases.
Honestly if Palworld did something wrong, then yes, Nintendo has every right to pursue legal action. Like it or not. Plus Pocket Pal is notorious for being scummy as hell. So I don’t see why everyone is quick to side with them who are in the wrong. While that apparent “riding mechanic” seems a bit of a stretch, if there’s other patents infringed on, Nintendo has the right to sue.
So based on that math, how many games would the average PS5 owner have? 65.5 million consoles sold, 77.7 million games. I’m not great at math, but since people typically don’t think there’s many games worth buying on PS5, my brother included, it’d be interesting to see.
Huh, I felt like this game was fairly popular. I heard about it often, plus saw plenty of ads and they even just started a comic book. I thought for sure it was successful. Especially given how upset people got when the beta or original version, whatever it was went away the first time around.
69? Really way too specific. This has got to be some kind of joke, right? That said, I’ve never heard of “Don’t Nod”. Seems like there’s barely any good news with game companies these days outside Nintendo stuff…
