@DestructionAllstars Or just take them at their word? Why assume a bad faith argument? Your comments here are always barbs. If you're so miserable, go somewhere else.

I say it all the time here, but I play almost exclusively PS4 games on PS5. That isn't to say I don't appreciate the console. I just don't see much current (apart from what Nintendo is doing) that is interesting. And a few of those PS4 games run at 60 on PS5, which is wonderful. I don't regret buying the console. It's just basically my PS4 Pro Squared.
And it looks like a Roman Numeral 5, which is neat I guess.
...wonder how many people didn't notice that, lol

Didn't this have some silly online requirement?

@DestructionAllstars man you're always a ray of sunshine.

@CallMeDuraSouka you think people are not going to lose their minds over this? Lol.

We don't know how much this game is going to screw around players with mtx and online requirements. None of this stuff matters for me until we know that.

Slayers X and PO'd for me. Sounds like just the kind of stupid I'm in the mood for.

@stefan771 this is Ubisoft's "break in case of emergency" setting. They've been asked for this setting for years, and always said it was too obvious. Welp, they're doing it now. Right as the series starts trying to sort out it's identity crisis.

I'm sure GoT has already done this better. I'm hoping for some supernatural elements. I am fully anticipating this game to be ruined by online requirements and monetization though.

@Edwirichuu oh look, proof of OP's point.

@Sifi you wanna trust what they have to say, it's on you.

Yeah. That would be way too rad and fun.

@nomither6 I only had a Switch from 2018 until I got the PS5 near launch, to replace my kids' PS4. Unless we count handhelds, I was happy with just the Switch. I play PS4 games on my PS5. This current gen hasn't done much for me.
I think that if MS goes third-party, Sony will shoot themselves in the foot through hubris. Everything you've said makes sense though. I just think there's about to be a huge paradigm shift, and am positing one possible outcome.

They bought all these studios with great IPs and it looks like nothing is being done with them. BGS and Nintendo will throw out announcements that a fan-favorite IP is being worked on years before the game releases. While I do like a short turn around from reveals, XBOX needs a better reputation and a more distinct brand. If they picked up all of these studios and showed us some teasers for new Quake, Crash, Spyro, Fallout, etc etc etc, they'd be talking about why every single one of us absolutely need their console. Instead we are all expecting a similar move to when SEGA went third-party...

@nomither6 I think having only Nintendo and Sony will be very bad for Sony. If the next Switch is around the power of the PS4, it's going to put the diminishing returns of graphical fidelity in really harsh light.
Personally, I miss PS1 and PS2 era Sony a lot. I miss them getting weird.

@Rangers420 Huh. I just started KoA too. Weird. I love that game but haven't finished it, so I'm starting it over. Hope you enjoy. I am so far.

@2here2there Yuuuuusssss!

@Ryu_Niiyama Eh, I was upset when Volition shut down because they were a huge dev in Champaign Illinois, where I was born. They sure made it difficult to care after they got Embraced though. Their flippant treatment of fans grossed me out, and it came off as hubris to me. They thought they got their bag. Whoops.

If MS Gaming closes id, I don't even know man. I might stop playing games for a while.

@Deityjester ...that sounds really fun.

Most likely Animal Well. I started it and adore everything about it so far.

This game looks like a vacation. Looking forward to it.

@Littlejack personally, I have no dog in the fight besides some fleeting nostalgia for SEGA's ips. I think with Persona, fans just might not want to get a Poochie or "Persona on Ice" moment. I already think the games cross that line, but I haven't been a fan since 3.

Lol. It's like every time SEGA does something cool, they have to immediately do something incredibly stupid. Balances the universe.
The last thing Sonic needs is a shorter turnaround. The franchise has been a mess for ages. But they saw some success with their movies and shows recently so now they'll let hubris ruin it.
...classic game industry move, really.

I am on board. Looks like R&C and Metal Arms.

@nessisonett TG was reliably weird. I hate it when reliably weird studios close.

I never thought they'd recover from the XBONE, even though I hoped they would. The console wars aren't interesting anymore and neither are the consoles. I play my PS5 a good bit these days, but it's mostly PS4 games. I'm glad we have Nintendo, but even then I don't think they will be doing anything too interesting any time soon.
I'm old, I LIKE console wars. I like exclusives. We need another big player, cause MS ain't it.

@nomither6 I definitely do not. Those games play themselves. I love stealth infiltration, but the AC games are not that. It's all "hold/press the button to look cool." Like everything is context sensitive.

The first game was good. That is all.

@nessisonett thank you!

@nomither6 well, this doesn't need a remaster. It needs a full on remake. The combat, missions, and stealth are all abysmal.

So long as no part of it plays like Black Flag, it has potential! One of the most overrated games I've played.

@nessisonett it's easier now to find great music than it ever has been. Same with games.

He just removed copyright from all of his music so reactors will get paid, right before his album. He already won, but that's classy. Not Like Us is legendary.

@Tecinthebrain I think it was a Far Cry joke.

@NEStalgia It's a rare instance where one giant conglomerate swallowing another will probably result in more variety instead of less. Activision has some IPs. I want some platformers.

I'm shocked the series has not been renamed "Tomb Appreciator." Jokes aside, I love a few of the TR games and I'm excited to see how this turns out.

That's dumb and entirely expected behavior.

I should just get this on my PS5. The Switch version runs so poorly (for some reason), but it's an excellent game and one that I don't want to miss out on. I have reinstalled it several times and always get a few hours of cringing at the performance and nope out. Again, incredible game, but no reason for the performance.

They just can't take a long view when it comes to live games, can they? The hard part was making a game that everyone wanted to play. Now just get out of the way.

Sony has gone with a very bland identity for a while now. They do third person action games with lots of walking and talking. I honestly feel a little sorry for people that were introduced to their games through the PS4 onward. They were reliably weird af for a long time before that. Don't get me wrong their first party games are always great, even if some of them are not for me. I've just played a wholllle lot of third-person action games that think they have a lot to say.

I'll get to it when the noise calms down. I'm glad a new IP from a new studio is doing well though.

@BusyOlf That's the thing with Machinegames. Everything looks great and the stories are apparently great if you care about the stories they are telling (I like shooting demons and robots etc more than shooting nazis, personally), but their games just don't play very well imo.

@NintenGuy I'm seeing it at $11.99 on PSN rn, but I'm in the US.

@tangyzesty I just wish they'd give it to Obsidian again, or Larian ...

710 is "oil" upsidedown and backwards. It's a marijuana thing irl. Pretty sure they know that. As a Coloradan, I approve

The problem is not that the game is outdated. It's outclassed by New Vegas in almost every way, and New Vegas came before it. The problem is that it's just a looter shooter in a Fallout skin. The IP is just an aesthetic by now anyway, but I sure would like another Fallout RPG.

I wish they'd go back to smaller games, but it's Housemarque so I'm down for whatever they do.

It's alleged that a few of these users actually played Stellar Blade as well!

I've never made it too far into this game. I'm trying again because I miss the series so much.
