The games have gone downhill steadily over the past 7 or so years. Sun & Moon and ORAS were decent efforts, but generations 8 and 9 are the low point for the series. Hopefully Z-A can do what Arceus couldn’t, and be a good game without looking like it’s from 2006.
Wow that’s incredible, nice to meet a fellow fan. Wish you could’ve been there with us for the Gears of War 3 launch in Bellevue, WA. We went to the official Microsoft midnight release for the game and my buddy and I won the tournament they held. Got the Gears of War 3 edition Xbox 360
E-Day is short for Emergence Day 😅 sorry I was a huge Gears nerd growing up I just had to point that out.
Couldn’t agree more though 2026 is most plausible. I remember Microsoft mentioning in 2020 they wanted a shorter console lifecycle this time and no mid-gen refresh.
Not sure about the rest of the world, but here in Arizona we have a %10 sales tax. So the $700 console, $80 disc drive, and $25 stand actually make this a $900 console when all is said and done.
Last Cyber Monday I bought an ASUS TUF A1 4070 laptop for $900 at Best Buy. That purchase becomes more of a steal by the day.
Can’t believe in almost 100 comments no ones pointed this out, but there is no “upgrade path” for Spiderman PS4 on PS5.
You can buy the MM ultimate edition which was $70 at launch (sorry I live in the U.S. and don’t know conversion to £) and that’s it. There’s no way for people who own the game for PS4 to upgrade their version. No matter what way people want to spin it even if you own the PS4 version of the game you have to shell out what is now $50 to get the upgraded version.
Still baffled we have this many comments and no one pointed that out 😅
I mean 14 x 14 is 196, so your likely looking at 13 or 14 characters which can each live or die. That would make up the endings. It’ll likely result in a short recap cutscene at the end explaining who lived and died, and the result. Can’t wait 👍
The initial reactions on this site are such a cringey echo chamber sometimes it’s embarrassing 🤦♂️ I’ll never forget the Elden Ring reveal where a large amount of people here said it would be DOA because it looked like Dark Souls 3.
Blizzard has 55 games/expansions they’ve released over the years on Metacritic and of those 55 only 5 have “mixed” reactions. Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, Blizzard’s new IP, WoW: Classic WotLK are all going to be massive successes in the coming years; not to mention Hearthstone is still very popular.
It’s a shame I’ll have to play it on the Series X at launch since I won’t have my PS5 back until November. My wife and I got the platinum for Until Dawn the first week we had our PS5
Well sadly I just lent my PS5 to my brother until at least November, so it would be a while before I was able to play this anyways. Oh well.
And what’s up with the weird Bethesda sucks comments? Since when do 2 games make a trend? Fallout 76 and Ghostwire Tokyo are different developers, and neither are indicative of Bethesda as a whole going downhill. DooM, DooM Eternal, Wolfenstein, Deathloop, and Fallout 4 all got massive praise. Heck even Dishonored 2 and Prey were decently liked. Let’s not start pretending like Bethesda is the new EA or something because they’ve had a couple of lackluster games recently.
Yeah I can only imagine how it’s been. I’m an Astrologer I fought him a few times around level 35 with a +3 staff before I decided to visit the south side of the map. To get enough rocks to upgrade your weapon you can find these “tunnels” that let you mine a decent amount. I also realized pretty quickly that the off-the-beaten-path bosses are much easier. None have killed me more than once or twice.
I’ve played all Soulsborne games at launch and it feels like Elden Ring is the most difficult yet IF (and it’s a big if) you don’t take the time to explore the world before attempting the main bosses. Godric the Grafted is not meant to be beaten by someone around level 30, which you can easily get to him by. For sure you’re meant to have a +7/8 weapon by that point and be 40+ with one of your atk stats sitting in the mid-high 30s.
I find this article slightly ironic considering a majority of the “I can’t play one because the other exists” comments I’ve seen have been on this site. Feels like every Elden Ring article was filled with plenty of commenters saying they had no interest in it because HFW just came out.
Outside of Scholar of the First Sin (a re-release anyways) they’ve never had a game launch on consoles with steady performance. Hopefully they can better optimize this soon and we don’t have to wait for whatever the next console iterations are to get a stable 60!
“Would people know about Martha Is Dead without its censorship debacle?“
Won’t lie PS it’s extremely hard to take this review seriously when that’s your first line. Doesn’t sound like whoever wrote this ever intended to give this game its fair chance.
Well light your pitchforks and sharpen your torches, tonight we march ladies and gentlemen!
In all seriousness this sounds disgusting but I’d rather all art go uncensored. As long as the consumer has an idea of what they’re in for I don’t think the creators vision should be altered.
Can’t wait. I’ve had 3 remake installed on my PS5 for almost a year now and I’m finally playing it. I’ve beaten 4 countless times so it’ll be nice to see it in a new light.
Ohtani should’ve gone to the Mariners. They’d have had 2 playoff appearances since 2018 if he were with them. If they make the playoffs this year and LA is again severely underachieving he should reconsider.
H*ll yes! Destiny has a massive amount of potential; Sony will definitely help Bungie get it to where it should be. Not to mention they’d be phenomenal for games like Killzone or Resistance.

I enjoyed the closed beta, but the fullscreen water mark was a real turn off.
Just realized I’m still under NDA for that beta. It’s been nice knowing you guys 🫡
Re: Freelance Artist Attempts to Redesign PS5, PC Flop Concord's Cast
I like the re-designs. The idea of the robot being a party dude reminds me of BIV from Fallout 76 or even Bender from Futurama.

It’ll forever be remembered as the MMO that banned Asmongold lol.
Hopefully Throne and Liberty or New World can find a PS5 audience this fall. The New Workd beta was actually rather fun.
