Killer Six (borderlands youtuber) speculated that BL4 will come at the same time as the movie, based on how long it has been between launches. Also it makes sense like how TLOU rereremaster came out along side the tv show.
I really hate when a game decides that since I died, it is going to make the boss easier. I would doubly hate it if did so without telling me and without an option to change. Getting stuck on challenging bosses and overcoming is the whole enjoyment. without that everything turns into vanilla paste.
There was no solution before 2.0. They retconned in a solution that was only accessible as of 2.0, probably because of the people desperate to find it. They even put text in game about people desperate to solve it then realizing it wasn’t what they thought.
Needs to happen, glad to see it starting. Hopefully happens more world-wide, because this is straight gambling and particularly in mobile games it is ruining the games.
Also, let’s not forget that in the current job market it’s very hard to hire enough competent people, because the FAANG stocks hired everyone for huge raises, kept the best and only recently dumped the worst of them (keeping the best talent). With the increased expectations on salary and union movements in the game industry - people wanting to be actually paid for OT, go home occasionally and not be sexually assaulted at work - it is very hard to maintain a staff full of experienced testers. We’re seeing the results of that now in redfall, jedi, and other releases that were in development the last few years.
@Wheatly agree. People don’t appreciate the job of testers, particularly something as uncontrolled/open ended as a video game.
That said, dying at the same time is a fairly obvious boundary condition if you are trying to systematically come up with test cases. A play tester wouldn’t find it but someone doing functional testing of a boss encounter with a test rig should.
Agree first boss was fine and Lu Bu needed the nerf. The rest of the game I didn’t even finish as it was just too … robotic. It’s a souls-like with no soul.
The extreme item gating and gear issues and discouraging you from exploring or deviating from the main quest was a huge turnoff in this game, I may ignore the dlc
Sorry, while well executed this game was as safe as can be. Uninspired and with nothing new to add this was just more of the same. It did nothing to advance the medium in any way, added nothing even to the series but more story. A good time, but nowhere close to GOTY material.

Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
power supply problem with current ps5....so it was a no brainer.
Re: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Patch 1.14 Makes the Final Boss Easier
yea, was waiting for the inevitable nerf on this, but, honestly at this point I think I'm done with Elden Ring.
Re: Sony Execs Seem to Think the Company Doesn't Have Enough Original IP
Mandatory Bloodborne post, since it has been pointed out many times it is a Sony IP and Miyazaki can’t remaster himself
Re: Let the Astro Bot PS5 Launch Trailer Tide You Over Until Release
Will it have a ps5 pro Easter egg?
Re: Redacted Is a PS5 Roguelike Dungeon Crawler Set in The Callisto Protocol's Black Iron Prison
More Hades is always a good thing, not that this is just a hades clone or anything....
Re: Elden Ring Hits a Staggering 25 Million Sales Ahead of Erdtree's Arrival
STILL not better than Bloodborne!

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Patch 1.003 Brings a Challenge Mode, New Outfits
Omg more time for puzzles needed badly!
The random order boxes were very fast.
Re: Video: Does Fallout 4 Look Better on PS5?
Is it me or does this feel super dated due to the lighting alone? Ambient Occlusion and better shadows would make everything 200% better.
Re: Video: Is Fallout 76 Worth Playing in 2024?
Tried playing it a while back. All I remember is such bad framerate I uninstalled.
Re: A Further 2,000 Major PS5, PS4 Games Are on Sale Right Now
@spazuluwarrior @God_of_War_ Sekiro is amazing, absolutely worth full price, no reason to hesitate.
Re: PS5 Pro's Proprietary DLSS-Esque Upscaler Sounds Superb
So will this help bloodborne without patches?
Well, with patches the spider but not code changes Sony refuses to make …
Re: Sounds Like PS5's Stellar Blade Will Be Playing Dress Up Long After Launch
@ChrisDeku glasses and an outfit that covers her up? Sounds like bayonetta cosplay !
Re: Sony Wants PS5 Games to Automatically Adjust the Difficulty While You Play
I really hate when a game decides that since I died, it is going to make the boss easier. I would doubly hate it if did so without telling me and without an option to change. Getting stuck on challenging bosses and overcoming is the whole enjoyment. without that everything turns into vanilla paste.
Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now, 1,000+ PS5, PS4 Games on Offer
In other news, total domination of the market and complete vertical integration is bad for consumers.
Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now, 1,000+ PS5, PS4 Games on Offer
Still no 50% off TLoU1? When the old version is free?
Re: What the Hell Does This Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Secret Even Mean?
There was no solution before 2.0. They retconned in a solution that was only accessible as of 2.0, probably because of the people desperate to find it. They even put text in game about people desperate to solve it then realizing it wasn’t what they thought.
At the end you get a car.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Lies of P?
Free on PC game pass, hard to ignore.
Re: PS Plus Drives Down PS Store Prices on Over 2,000 PS5, PS4 Games
@wiiware hogwarts was… so very bland. So much surface flair with nothing behind it. Honestly even for free would not recommend.
Re: Won't Someone Think of the Children? UK Moves to Protect Kids from Loot Boxes
Needs to happen, glad to see it starting. Hopefully happens more world-wide, because this is straight gambling and particularly in mobile games it is ruining the games.
Re: Oh No, the Bloodborne Remake Rumours Have Returned
Where can I preorder?
Re: Game-Breaking Bug Detected in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, But a Fix Is En Route
@Wheatly lol sorry for wall of text above. I may have an opinion on the subject

Re: Microsoft Dealt Major Blow as UK Blocks Activision Buyout
Competition is good. Exclusivity is always bad.
Re: Rumour: FromSoftware's Armored Core 6 Could Be Coming Sooner Than You Think
I just want Bloodborne remaster at 60fps
Re: Diablo 4 Opens to Everyone in May for One Last Pre-Release Run
@Green-Bandit the mouse lets you target some skills you can’t via controller, and …. Manually organizing your stash….
But ps5 gives family sharing, pc each user has to buy.
Re: Diablo 4 Opens to Everyone in May for One Last Pre-Release Run
Still can’t decide between ps5 and pc.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's New PC Update Is a Glimpse of the Future for Game Graphics
Problem is NVIDIA is so far ahead consistently, but the consoles use AMD internals.
Re: Soapbox: PSVR2 Already Feels Like It's on Course for Failure
The thing is it doesn’t make games more fun. Like Kinect it’s cool tech not fun game. So the install base will kill it.
Re: New Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Update Makes the First Boss Easier
Agree first boss was fine and Lu Bu needed the nerf. The rest of the game I didn’t even finish as it was just too … robotic. It’s a souls-like with no soul.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Working Metro System Rumour Shot Down as Fans Await the Big Update
@Ralizah I think you’re being harsh. In its current state and ignoring pre-launch hype, it’s a great game.
Re: Poll: Did You Enjoy the Diablo 4 Beta?
@Cutmastavictory it means I need to buy it 2-3 times on pc if I want my family to be able to play, once on ps5.
Re: Poll: Did You Enjoy the Diablo 4 Beta?
Question is: PC or ps5?
PC is a little better but no family sharing.
Re: Video: 36 Facts You Need To Know About Diablo 4
Will watch this while I’m in queue to login later…. And probably several other long videos.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Update 1.04 Available Now, Here Are All the Patch Notes
No Lu Bu nerf …. Surprised. He has too many hps
Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) - Finale - A Highlight Reel of Your Favourite Story
Felt really short, rushed - and that lessened the impact of Joel’s choices.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Last of Us Season One Finale?
Was too short, the whole episode felt rushed, which made Joel’s choices less impactful
Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is Out Soon on PS5, and We've Seen Next to Nothing
The extreme item gating and gear issues and discouraging you from exploring or deviating from the main quest was a huge turnoff in this game, I may ignore the dlc
Re: Preview: Forspoken Feels Like a Weird Tech Demo
Disappointing, this is yet another game I was looking forward to buying that has turned into a complete pass. At least I’ve cleared my backlog.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 Supports 30fps, 60fps, and VRR
Performance mode, obviously.
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - God of War Ragnarok
Sorry, while well executed this game was as safe as can be. Uninspired and with nothing new to add this was just more of the same. It did nothing to advance the medium in any way, added nothing even to the series but more story. A good time, but nowhere close to GOTY material.
Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (PS5) - The Perfect Excuse to Replay a Masterpiece
How is the load time? Used to be like 2 minutes.
Re: The Game Awards Will Be 'Significantly Shorter' This Year
Hopefully we hear what Bluepoint has been up to, and hopefully it’s Bloodborne.
Re: Despite Scrapping PS4, Gotham Knights Is Just 30fps on PS5
Was going to order day 1, but 30fps means it just went to never buy. Shame.
This is why we don’t preorder
Re: Gotham Knights' PS5 Platinum Will Keep You Busy
I’m so out of games to play that I’ll probably get this and platinum it
Re: God of War Ragnarok Rated for Release on PS5, PS4 by ESRB
So, safe for kids then? Good father/son story amirite?
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Won't Have Difficulty Options, Producer Says Its 'Not an Easy Game'
Demo was too easy - hopefully they make it harder.
Re: Rumour: Lower Your Expectations for Tonight's State of Play
Bloodborne is minor right?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Last of Us: Part I?
It’s really hard to separate how great a game it is from the need for a full price remake.
