Of course it isn't. It gives people a reason to upgrade to the new thing. If new games didn't come out for upgraded hardware, we'd be stuck playing asteroids.
I really hope this is true! Automata is one of my favorite games of all time, and although I know this one is way different, I'd still like to experience it.
I agree. The only first party games from Microsoft I've liked this generation are Gears 4 and 5. And that's just because I love the gameplay of those games because they are unlike other third person shooters. However, everything else they've made pales in comparison to Sony's offerings.
I mean sure, yeah I hope she does well for herself. However, I really don't understand people's crazy love for her all of a sudden. Yes, she was entertaining during bethesdas conference, but it's to the point where people draw fan art of her...which is kind of weird considering people just found out about her.
@themcnoisy lol. I wish they would have just remastered those games. I may buy this one just because it's been so long since I've played these, but I hope that they have a traditional arcade mode like the GameCube games, where people take turns going through the levels. I could care less about the minigames that aren't monkey target.
I found the first game to be amazing, but also not fun. After how dark I've seen TLOU2 go, I think I'm going to hold off on part 2. Part 1 dragged a lot at times.
I'm glad people are enjoying it, but I don't think Astral Chain is as amazing as a lot of people are saying. Certainly not as good as Nier Automata or Bayonetta. There are too many inconsistencies in the game that annoy me. The pacing of it is just... off. It's still fun though.
Um, it's about war. And it's war that involves real life countries. So that sounds pretty political to me. I don't understand why people are so scared to brand games like that, it's not like this isn't going to sell a million plus copies.
@MrGawain Yeah, it's sad but honestly I haven't played my PS4 since Resident Evil 2. But I've been playing a LOT of switch. That will probably change once Control and Death Stranding come out, but it has definitely been a while.
Not going to lie, I'm happy for everyone hyped for this, but the more I see, the more I'm thinking that this game isn't for me. I really enjoyed MGS 1-4 due to their linear nature, but I haven't been a fan of open world games for a while.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Receives Hefty 5 Month Delay
Welp, that gives me plenty of time for FF7 now lol.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Delayed to Just Days Before Cyberpunk 2077
Crap. Guess I'm playing Cyberpunk in May.
Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Not Anti-Consumer for Making PS5 Exclusives
Of course it isn't. It gives people a reason to upgrade to the new thing. If new games didn't come out for upgraded hardware, we'd be stuck playing asteroids.
Re: The Last of Us Is the Best Game of the Decade, According to Metacritic Users
It's great but eh, no. I would put God of War and Bloodborne over it.
Re: Soapbox: The Witcher 3's Post-Netflix Resurgence Proves There's Untapped Cross-Media Potential in Games
I loved the first season. I'm in the same boat as other people, I went out and bought the Witcher 3 and I love it!
Re: Hey, Guess What? The Uncharted Movie Has Lost Another Director
First off, don't make this about young Drake. Get Tom Holland out of there. He's a great actor, but not a good fit for Drake.
Re: Soapbox: Despite Being a Good Game, Life Is Strange 2 Wasn't Worth the Wait
That's why I always wait for every episode to release whenever these types of games come out. I tend to enjoy them a lot more.
Re: NieR Trademark Suggests a Remaster of the Original Could Be Incoming
I really hope this is true! Automata is one of my favorite games of all time, and although I know this one is way different, I'd still like to experience it.
Re: Resident Evil 2 Xbox Achievement All But Confirms DLC Is Incoming
I really wanted to love RE2, but I wasn't a fan of the puzzles.
Re: A New BioShock Has Been Announced, Almost Certainly a PS5 Game
What is even the point of announcing it this early then?
Re: Soapbox: Why Half-Life: Alyx Is a Big Moment for PSVR
I'm actually debating getting a VR system right now. However, I can't decide between playstation VR and the Oculus Quest. Any recommendations?
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Supposedly Shorter Than The Witcher 3, But More Replayable
I'm more than fine with that. I barely even finish most 30 hour games these days.
Re: Sony: Our Exclusives Are Too Special and Valuable to Giveaway Day One with PS Now
I agree. The only first party games from Microsoft I've liked this generation are Gears 4 and 5. And that's just because I love the gameplay of those games because they are unlike other third person shooters. However, everything else they've made pales in comparison to Sony's offerings.
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Being Revealed Today, But We'll Believe It When We See It
@WallyWest Dropping the multiplayer for Mass effect 3 would be a mistake. It's one of the best things about that game.
Re: BioWare Asks What Mass Effect Fans Want on N7 Day, As if We Haven't Spent the Last 6 Years Begging for a Trilogy Remaster
Time to bang my head against my desk again this year.
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Being Revealed Today, But We'll Believe It When We See It
I will cry if this finally happens. Literally the only trilogy remaster besides uncharted that I wanted.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble Looks Better Than Ever in New Joker Trailer
I'm looking forward to this a lot more than Royal, just due to the fact that I won't have to run through mostly the same game again.
Re: No, BioWare Is Not Teasing a Dragon Age 4 Reveal for Next Month
If they remake Dragon Age before Mass Effect I won't be happy. #gamer rage
Re: Diablo 4 Set to Have Cosmetic Microtransactions and Paid Expansions
Can't wait for all the articles and YouTube think pieces written about them.

Oh please yes! Mass Effect is literally the only thing I want from EA.
Re: Big Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Update Says Devs Are 'Working on a More Radical and Immersive Version' of the Game
I've learned to hate the word "immersive" when it relates to the triple A game industry.
Re: The Outer Worlds - Fallout: New Vegas Meets Mass Effect in This Role-Playing Masterclass
I'm going to see the sacrifices made on the switch port first, but I'll probably be picking this up down the line!
Re: Fans Want Ex-Ghostwire: Tokyo Director Ikumi Nakamura to Join Sony
@Ichiban if the piece of bread posted funny maymays and was cute they would for sure praise it.
Re: Fans Want Ex-Ghostwire: Tokyo Director Ikumi Nakamura to Join Sony

Re: PS5 Controller Detailed, 'Looks a Lot Like the PS4's DualShock 4' with Some Exciting New Additions
I hope it is compatible with DS4. I really hate buying new 60 dollar controllers every generation.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 7.00 Launches This Week
@playstation_king It's saying I can't use it either for some reason.
Re: Code Vein - A Friendlier, Fashion-Conscious Japanese RPG in the Vein of Dark Souls
I might get this once it goes on sale.
Re: Sonic Spin Dashes into Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD as a Playable Character
@themcnoisy lol. I wish they would have just remastered those games. I may buy this one just because it's been so long since I've played these, but I hope that they have a traditional arcade mode like the GameCube games, where people take turns going through the levels. I could care less about the minigames that aren't monkey target.
Re: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Commits the Heinous Crime of Not Letting You Invert Aiming on PS4
I think the developers should be arrested and put in jail.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for The Last of Us 2's Return?
@HellOfaHunter God of War, Spider Man, Ratchet and Clank, Bloodborne, Horizon, and Gran Turismo say hello. Plus dozens more.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for The Last of Us 2's Return?
I found the first game to be amazing, but also not fun. After how dark I've seen TLOU2 go, I think I'm going to hold off on part 2. Part 1 dragged a lot at times.
Re: World War Z Teases Crossplay, New Missions, and More Zombies for Future Updates
Man I still need to pick this game up. It seems right up my alley, but there are just too many games to play right now.
Re: August 2019 NPD: Game Sales Sink to 20 Year Low as Control Misses Out
I love how people are still buying Anthem. This won't teach EA anything.
Re: New Guilty Gear Gets 60FPS Gameplay Trailer, Continues to Look Mind-Blowing
I really hope they bring the dub back for this installment.
Re: Resident Evil Spin-Off Project Resistance May Break Some Hearts
Premise seems cool. But I just wanted a good old fashion co-op game.
Re: Want Astral Chain on PS4? Ask Nintendo, Says Hideki Kamiya
@jly1987 I agree. Nier Automata still holds the top spot for me.
Re: Uncharted 2, 3, and The Last of Us PS3 Multiplayer Servers Go Offline Tomorrow
@KnightWolf yep.
Re: First Person RPG Cyberpunk 2077 Will Have First Person Cutscenes
Honestly, this makes me lessed hyped. What's the point of even customizing a character then? To seem them in mirrors? Lol
Re: UK Sales Charts: Wreckfest Can't Catch Up with Astral Chain to Claim Number One
I'm glad people are enjoying it, but I don't think Astral Chain is as amazing as a lot of people are saying. Certainly not as good as Nier Automata or Bayonetta. There are too many inconsistencies in the game that annoy me. The pacing of it is just... off. It's still fun though.
Re: Telltale Games Is Coming Back Under New Management
All I want is Wolf 2 please. Just please finish that story.
Re: Control - Was Remedy's Return to PlayStation Worth the Wait?
I still have it preordered. After watching some gameplay, it still looks awesome.
Re: Spider-Man Movie Dispute Raises Video Game Concerns
@AFCC It's actually Disney's fault. They are trying to take over a lot more from Sony instead of just the deal that they had originally.
Re: Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a Political Game? Yes and No, Says Infinity Ward
Um, it's about war. And it's war that involves real life countries. So that sounds pretty political to me. I don't understand why people are so scared to brand games like that, it's not like this isn't going to sell a million plus copies.
Re: DuckTales Remastered Demonstrates the Dangers of Digital with Delisting
Yay for the all digital future! /s
Re: Granblue Fantasy Versus Site Suggests Only 11 Characters at Launch, but 'RPG Mode' Sounds Really Cool
I might buy it for rpg mode, but I'm sure there is going to be a ton of dlc.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is 'Hands Down the Most Ambitious Game Naughty Dog Has Ever Made'
I love Naughty Dog, but I wasn't a fan of the first game. The series is just a bit too dark for my taste.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Settles for Second as Nintendo Strikes Again
@MrGawain Yeah, it's sad but honestly I haven't played my PS4 since Resident Evil 2. But I've been playing a LOT of switch. That will probably change once Control and Death Stranding come out, but it has definitely been a while.
Re: Remedy Wraps Up Development as Control Goes Gold
I'm very excited for this! Unfortunately I won't have time to play it at release, but I'll definitely pick it up a bit later!
Re: Death Stranding PS4 Screens Shared on Social Media by Hideo Kojima
Not going to lie, I'm happy for everyone hyped for this, but the more I see, the more I'm thinking that this game isn't for me. I really enjoyed MGS 1-4 due to their linear nature, but I haven't been a fan of open world games for a while.
Re: European Survey Finds Vast Majority of Gamers Not Interested in Streaming Services
If it was a subscription like gamepass then sure, but paying 60 bucks for full priced games I don't own? Lol nope.
