Re: UK's GAME Stores to Stop Accepting Trade-Ins from Next Month

LordAinsley

I dont know if anyone has been to a GAME in the last few years, but they pretty much mostly sell Plushies, V-Bucks and Funkos now.

Even a decade ago I think their shelves were more filled with Skylanders figurines than actual video games. No big loss.

Also Mike Ashley owns it now, and quite honestly he can go REDACTED himself with a large iron rod

As someone who Platinumed Lies of P, I massively agree. Cannot wait for the DLC and Lies of P 2.

However, I keep seeing Lies of P praised in the same sentence as Lords of the Fallen.

Did we play the same game? I thought it was a buggy ugly mess. The framerate is atrocious, a lot of the design of the areas is pretty poor in my opinion. Ugly world, boring worldbuilding. Poor story. Only a few interesting bosses. Multiplayer pretty busted on launch.

I didnt play the original LOTF game but if this game vastly improves on it, jesus, LOTF (2014) must have been borderline unplayable.

You do not get lauded for fixing something you launched broken. Period.

At best you repair your reputation to pre-launch state. Personally, the assumption is now their next game will launch busted too and it will eventually be playable 3 years later.

Next game launched successfully puts their reputation on track to where it was prior to 2077s launch.

Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Lies of P

People who don't understand the placement didn't play it.

It's truly fantastic and deserves any accolade it gets. A definite sufferer from the 2023 glut of good games, insane to think It Takes Two won GOTY at the game awards a few years back, P (and most of this years top 10) are strides above it

@DennisReynolds you won't get anywhere with that argument, right wing chuds don't understand tlou2s sex scene as it doesn't include a hot model and it exists as part of a developed story, rather than something a horny teenager can beat off to in between gameplay sessions

I really have no interest in anything Jaffe has to say.

I can tell why people like watching him: he basically has the same point of views of your classic angry 14 year old boy and people like to hear what they think said back to them.

I'm personally glad we've escaped the milase of the white bald space marine period of gaming that he represents. And hey, if he doesn't like that, go make another game. I'm sure a sequel to Drawn to Death will be beloved by all...

I think there's some good games here.

Honestly, some folks here forget that this is a niche hobbyist website.

It is a massive get to have GTA V for free, the month that a bunch of casual players will receive their (potentially first) PlayStation console.

That's an instant subscription in sonys pocket for every single hardware purchase I imagine, one that might be renewed every year in perpetuity

@ear_wig @Reveluv @ErrantRob
Nice to see so much Lies of P love, I was thinking "I must be crazy" because its my top game too, but nice to see is resonated with plenty of people.

Happy to see some Aliens: Dark Descent love too, I'm super curious about it will definitely have to pick it up with all the love I see here.

Re: PS Portal Sells Out In Just a Couple of Days

LordAinsley

I was surprised by the reviews so went to pick one up and found this.

Thing is, scalpers will never succeed with this product I feel. I just don't really need it honestly. The lack of stock doesn't push me to a scalper, it just makes me shrug and go about my day.
