@Jrs1 Quite unfortunately, yeah. The whole game is a mess.

@VicerExciser See, that's exactly what I mean! Like, how blind are these companies thinking they can rival Fortnite etc? At SOME point they have to use their brain and just make games that EVERYONE can enjoy.. offline.. right..?

Of course they did. How many more live service games will have to fail before these publishers realize IT'S. NOT. GOING. TO. WORK.

Aside from maybe Helldivers, not a single LSG has actually been succesfull in the last few months! ***** live service.

@ironcrow86 Nah, the gameplay is hella annoying.. and graphically - all that black and brown - is just unpleasant to look at. Sure, Witcher 3 has that too but not ALL the time (White Orchard, Toussaint etc). I get they chose this to match the tone of the game, and rightfully so, but it's just so.. bleh lmao.

@species Haha no Origins was a bit different. 2 was indeed a bit disappointing and Inquisition did have these tedious side quests.. but I enjoyed 2 and Inquisition quite a bit for what they were

@Meowmixes98 Surely you don't mean Origins? That one might have been fine in 2009... But play it nowadays, especially after 2 and Inquisition, and it's basically unplayable.

I know I can't deal with it; especially with that dreadful mage tower mission.. Good story tho.

@WhiteRabbit Like a certain emperor in the DBZ universe would say.. "Dance for us, monkey!"

Nothing for me personally. Waiting for smaller games, preferably platformers. But alas, that seems to be a dying breed unfortunately so I guess I can channel my money into other things

@Yagami Ah, well, I'm not too familiar with Genshin so I'm not sure what you're referring too. But just plain old toxic behaviour online is unacceptable, no matter what game it is. It's like a child throwing a temper tantrum when they don't get their way

@The_Wailing_Doom Absolutely, it's kinda pathetic. I don't like live service games - at all - but I would never attack developers like this. People have become WAY too entitled. Sometimes, I wonder.. if comment sections should just be removed everywhere.

It looks really good so far.

... Buuuut this IS still modern SEGA.. They WILL find a way to screw it up, somehow. Will definitely keep my expectations in check and i'd suggest everyone else to do the same. Unless y'all have forgotten about the travesty that was the Sonic Colors Ultimate or Sonic Forces..

@Mikey856 Right? People have no sense of self anymore.. they just buy what their friends buy with no minds of their own, just to be ''cool''. Shameful and pathetic is what it is.

4/10 lmao
Though 3 are just luck based too. I only knew the one about Cyber Sleuth

@Kraven Oh my goodness, i'm so sorry to hear that.. Sorry for your loss I lost my dad three years ago. I can imagine the extreme pain.. but YS VIII is an excellent game to keep yourself occupied. I do have one tip though, something that really helped me: Making a photo album of your loved one and maybe add some personal text in there too. It's a really good diversion to handle the pain and grief.. at least it was for me

I'm starting Persona 5 Royal, Cold Steel 2 and Witcher 3 this weekend!
I won't be bored for awhile, that's for sure haha. I'm also adding in Astro Bot once that releases!

... I literally never even heard of this game until today

I really hope so! I'd buy it happily once again. I've have had way more fun with Horizon 4 and 5 than any of Sony's PS5 titles.

Hell yeah, let's go! Pre-ordering it for both Playstation and Xbox.
But yes, launching it in October seems a bit fool hardy, even if it IS at the tail end of the month. Halfway through November or December would've been better

@Radekbejbl1 So let me get this straight: If companies DON'T talk about their games they don't have faith in it according to you people online (Which makes somewhat sense), but now that a company (Bioware in this case) IS talking alot about their game, suddenly they don't have faith in it either?? Seems contradictory.. though Bioware's words aren't doing them any favor either, I'll admit that much. On the other hand, they seem really excited for this one to be played by everyone online and all you lot do is just ***** on it, again and again.

I literally can't with people online. What a bunch of sour hypocrites. It's not just on here either; it's everywhere.
Social media - and comment sections - should really just be banned or removed.

I honestly can't wait! Of course, they have high shoes to fill.. But even after Andromeda, I still believe in this company. Much more so than Ubisoft or SEGA anyway.

If it's multiplayer it's instantly complete garbage.
Still hate what they did to Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw

Perhaps a sign of things to come (Hogwarts Legacy 2)?!
Either way, I usually don't play multiplayer games.. but this looks rather fun!

@KillerBoy Bunch of people, actually, including me. I know I'll be buying this day one; on both Xbox and Playstation

Probably finishing Daybreak this weekend; What an excillerating game, love it alot; plots of twists and turns around every corner.
Will probably also do some more Mass Effect on the side

People, just ignore Ravix - as I have - as he's obviously a bit of a troll. He doesn't like the game - I get that - but then he should just leave it alone instead of coming up with such.. weird and childish comments.

I'm definitely going to get this one; probably twice, too. Absolutely loved Inquisition - far more than 2 and Origins.

@NEStalgia Oooof, yeah you're right - I didn't think about that haha. What about other schools though? Like Beauxbatons or Durmstrang (I hope I spelled them right)!

I just got a new one...
Will I get this one? ...

...
YES.

Fantastic to hear. Such a lovely game; really hope that if there is a sequel (OFFLINE please!), that your main character will be able to travel to London, perhaps even to the other schools.. and perhaps learn Expecto Patronum? That'd be cool.

Not at all. I don't play them, but I can see why they're so popular.

No, if there IS something i'm sick off is these stupid live service games. Most of the time they either: Don't work well at all and are unsuccesfull.. or they ARE succesfull but then are quickly forgotten weeks after launch. People really should stop making these types of games. Almost nobody cares and nobody will remember them 10-20 years from now, unlike games like The Witcher 3 or Zelda Breath of the Wild which were both created with love and passion.. unlike these ***** live service games.

If anything, I play more in the summer; I absolutely HATE the heat, the bugs and the big amounts of people everywhere.. So I usually stay indoors, out of the sun, where it's cooler thanks to my AC.

I can't wait until Summer is over. Such an awful, awful season. Hugely overrated too. I can't take anyone seriously that says it's their favourite or when they say that 25+ celcius is ''great''

And Ubisoft continues to dig themselves further and further into the ground.. Can SOMEBODY please snatch away Rayman and Immortals from them?

Ubisoft simply doesn't care anymore.. For years I've wanted a sequel for Rayman Legends, but considering how much Ubi butchered pretty much everything they bring out lately, yeah.. never mind.

I can only hope people will see the light and stop supporting such a ***** company.

Awkward. Sony has more recognizable and succesfull franchises.. I like Microsoft, but what do they have really? Forza and Halo, correct? Sony has at least five or six succesfull franchises..
Nintendo has (way) more, but Microsoft is easily dead last. Hmm. I wonder how long it will take before they throw the towel into the ring and go third party.

I can't believe we're going back to Space Colony ARK after 20+ years! It looks so, so good too. Literally my biggest non-nintendo Hype game for 2024.

Will be picking this up for both PS5 and Switch!

@DennisReynolds It will definitely feature Westopolis: I think they've shown that a little bit in an earlier trailer. Odd that they would not show that off here.. But there's definitely more levels than these three

@IamJT True, but this, too, is a fad that will eventually fade.
Like the 3D platformers craze of the early 2000's and the countless movie games back in the day haha.

Aside from Hogwarts Legacy all of them are either carbon copies of older titles (EA Sports) or remakes/remasters..

Nostalgia definitely sells haha. That, or people don't want to accustom themselves to brand new games/ip's like Stellar Blade.

The only PS5 title I actually enjoyed this year is Trails through Daybreak.. I've no interest in any of the other titles listed here, though I can't wait for Astro Bot and Sonic Generations to come out!

Lol yet another studio I can just write off and ignore. The list grows bigger and bigger.

Trails through Daybreak for me - and I'm also starting up Skyrim again for what feels like the millionth time haha. Might actually play as one of the elves, as I've never done that before.
Happy weekend everyone!

Love how my comment got removed for stating the obvious. These people just don't get over their hate for this game. Having an opinion is fine - just expressing it EVERY time a new article pops up?

You know what, fine - two can play at that game. How about I'll just comment how they don't give it a new chance and need to open their eyes instead of blindly hating. The good way.. or the harsh way <3

Nice weekend everyone!

Yikes, gamers from the USA and Europe.. Hundreds of (much) better games out there, and y'all are going with a 10 year old game that wasn't that good to begin with? Oh dear.. truly tragic.

Jin looks good, but wow.. the other two.. they look like plastic cheap toys you can get in some kind of flea market for 2 dollars lmao

Good to hear. Games need to be accessible to everyone, not to just one small group of ''hardcore gamers'' that think they are super tough just because they play on the highest difficulty.

I knew Bioware would come through. Definitely picking this up for both Xbox and Playstation.

Shame to see that people look forward to generic games. Then again, I suppose most sheeple just follow other sheeple out of fear they will be left out.

Pathetic.

Ohh awesome!! The fact Falcom is working with XSEED and Marvelous again makes me have hope they will port Cold Steel 1 and 2 plus the Sky trilogy to modern consoles too!
