GameMill is right up there with Tokyo RPG Factory for bad game company names.

I guess all aspects of the game need to be considered when giving a review score, but if the single player is great, but the coop sucks, then I guess a 7 or 8 would be the appropriate score for a single player only gamer?

@homelesscretin Most of their games are very similar, and all are 7/10 at best imo, and that's being very generous

I had to read this title numerous times before having a clue what it was trying to say. Please use quotes or italics or bold or SOMETHING to make these kind of titles more readable.

Everyone who keeps expecting Sony to offer something more to "justify" the price increase, it's not going to happen. If you think you're no longer getting enough for your money, cancel your subscription. Simple as that

Yiiiikes some of the comments here.... Really illustrates the importance of unions

It's one of those games that I find amusing for a few minutes and then inevitably regret my purchase.

With all of these game showcases, I care about only two things. New game reveals and gameplay reveals. So from that perspective, the Nintendo show was a whole lot better. Once I know I'm interested in a game, I definitely don't need 10 more trailers for it.

@FatalBubbles Gotta say it's the opposite for me. English voices feel so out of place in most Asian-made games.

@Sil_Am
shhhhh, don't ruin their cherry picked narrative

"Striking Distance Studios and KRAFTON have implemented strategic changes that realign the studio’s priorities to better position its current and future projects for success."

I think I'm going to repurpose this statement for any kind of bad news I need to deliver. No boss, I didn't finish that project, I was too busy implementing a strategic change to realign my priorities.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner
I'm curious which part of the headline you found confusing. It reads pretty straightforward for me.

I have felt all along that even if Call of Duty is not exclusive to Xbox, launching day one on gamepass will be almost as impactful. If there's one thing out there that could provide a huge boost to a subscription service and move some people away from PS, it's COD.

"Historically, because of the large number of children that play on the PlayStation, we have been very careful with regards to opening them up to anything that could potentially exploit them,"

but we gave it some thought, and realized that we're totally cool with the exploitation!

Unless I missed it, I can't help but notice that this site did not report on the Jim Ryan email where he talked about being "more than OK" in regards to Call of Duty, if the ActiBlizz purchase went through

The commenters of this site seem to be pretty down on this game for some reason. I see nothing but glowing praise everywhere else.

I'm a multi-console owner, so no I wouldn't be upset. But you would think they would be leaving a lot of money on the table making a JRPG Xbox-exclusive.

The really unfortunate part of this is that we are likely to see only one big game from each developer per console generation now. (Unless you're Insomniac) And if one of these games happen to flop... it could mean the end of the studio

Crazy that the former Pakistan PM is so into videogames

@Magnus_Selene
Yeah that is the weird thing. There is a Series S/X version, but no PS5. Maybe some kind of exclusive deal with Microsoft?

Would have been a fairly solid show if it was one of Geoff Keighley's, but as a playstation showcase... you have to show some actual playstation-specific things.

This trailer basically represented everything that I was afraid of with Sony's push for live service games. Extremely generic looking

@UltimateOtaku91
Gearbox is owned by Embracer Group now right? Would Take Two still be publishing the Borderlands series?

@nessisonett Wow I just took a look and those are some.. odd results. Even setting aside recency bias, Horizon as #1 of all time? And not a single Zelda title in the top 10

Hmm he mentioned "boy" twice. God of War crossover??

The concern about story leaks is always kind of amusing to me. I don't buy anything day 1, so every game I play has 100% leaked before I get to it, and it has never impacted my enjoyment.

I've seen lots of people on Reddit and elsewhere declare that the lower specs of the Series S in no way will hold games back. This statement from Larian seems to be another indication that this is not true.

@get2sammyb
I come to this site specifically because of the personality and opinion that is injected into every post. I hope this never changes. There are plenty of other places where someone can read copy and pasted press releases.

@Rmg0731 Right but Sony has been bending over backwards to show how devastating it would be to lose Call of Duty etc. I can't imagine that all these reports of how well they're doing will help their case

surprised that they're so willing to brag about this, with the whole Activision Blizzard thing going on

@nessisonett
Where'd you get that idea? It was sitting at a 69/100 average on opencritic the first day that reviews started coming in, not exactly glowing

@Ralizah
You're right of course that the Mass Effect example was far worse. This almost feels weirder though, in that the first Octopath was ported to Xbox but not to PS

It's so odd that they're just not going to release the first game on playstation. Reminds me of Mass Effect 3 releasing on the wii u despite the previous two never coming to a Nintendo system.

@KaijuKaiser some pretty decent games have come out: Sword and Fairy, Xuan Yuan Sword, F.I.S.T

It's a very 7/10 kind of game, that's for sure. Enjoyable combat and story, but the open world felt almost completely unnecessary

@Titntin
I guess it really depends on what you've played. Most of these games are all quite old and I've played many of them. Gamepass on the other hand is consistently giving out very new games like High on Life, Chained Echoes, Plague Tale, and now Monster Hunter Rise

@Cyberpsycho
All the other One Piece games are trash, or just, like, all videogames in general?

So God of War and Horizon were 2nd and 3rd place for game of the year after Elden Ring, but Stray wins best playstation game? I'd like to understand the logic there.

In reality, both Elden Ring and God of War will likely each snag loads of game of the year awards. Unless we are counting Geoff Keighley's show as having the final say, which I don't see why that would be the case.

If Call of Duty is day one on gamepass, but not on ps+, that will have almost the same impact as COD being Xbox-exclusive, imo

What's with the sudden increase of people asking Xbox-related questions on this site? I've noticed it in the last few days. No, Push Square is not going to go into details on how the game runs on Xbox, this should be obvious.

@L_Bosch
Any media that depicts religion as the fantasy stories that they are is fine by me

@SplooshDmg
I would have expected to agree with you, but I tried them out recently in Like a Dragon, and they're surprisingly great! I'll likely be sticking with them going forward. It's kind of nice not to have to play close attention to the subtitles.

The "Like a Dragon" name had me worrying that this was going to be turn-based, but good to see it's the old beat em up combat

I'll watch these shows if they happen to be during my workday, but like the Ubisoft one, there's no way in hell I'm dedicating any of my weekend to these extended commercials.

@PegasusActual93
One thing worth nothing that I'm really surprised this review didn't mention is that this game has difficulty options. If you're having a lot of trouble with a certain section, you can even make it so that enemies do 0 damage

@Amnesiac
Sony doesn't seem to have much interest in JRPGs these days, or anything really, that could be considered somewhat niche

@Royalblues
It would really be a shame to see someone miss out on the Trails series because you think it's too late. I started with Cold Steel and only later decided to check out the older games.

"I'll continue to push through"
hmm does that imply that you're not enjoying Steelrising very much?

@ShogunRok
probably one of those deals where they're trying to show potential publishers the level of interest
