I picked up a sealed enhanced collectors edition DUO (XB1 & PS4 included) copy of this game the other day and it came with all the extras including a 2 hour blu ray movie that had every member of the development team chiming in about what went wrong for only $1.50. When you take into account the mail in rebate Best Buy actually paid me to take it off their hands.

@TheRedComet

I pre-ordered mine but it was part of the Walmart batch that was like 10 days late. I still remember calling Walmart the day it arrived and them telling me they couldn’t find it lol. There was almost h*ll to pay!

@Scarla88

Crazy. Outside of my own PS5 I’ve never actually seen another one in person. It was the same for the Series X; I’d never seen one before I got it on Thanksgiving Day (U.S. Holiday).

Considering it’s basically impossible to find PS5s on store shelves I’d say this message is a bit of a mute point.

Real question: is backwards compatibility something they could just patch in with an update, or does the hardware have to be built around allowing it?

Unless the suggestion was that they were gone re-release PS1-3 titles digitally, which doesn’t really seem like BC lol 😅

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh wait, you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder!

Ha ha ha 😂

@EverydayRobot

Sorry if you’ve already been replied to, but the Game Pass catalog changes constantly, and as long as you have a sub you don’t lose a game even if it leaves Game Pass. So even if the catalog seems weak now I almost guarantee there will be something worth $15/month getting added shortly.

That being said I don’t sub to it either because I can’t stand subscription services. If they added the World of Warcraft subscription to Game Pass though I’d have no reason not to get it.

I got really into Duel Links for maybe a month before realizing you’ll hit an absolute wall without dishing out money. Such a shame because I like playing it more than Pokémon or Magic.

“Activision Blizzard games are enjoyed on a variety of platforms and we plan to continue to support those communities moving forward.”

For context they said almost the exact same thing about Bethesda properties shortly before announcing those properties would be Xbox/PC exclusive.

Feel all the more fortunate I was able to get a Series X on Thanksgiving. What a wild generation this I turning out to be.

Don’t worry gang they’re just figuring out the most pro-consumer way to monetize the s*** out of it!

Well my most played games of all time are World of Warcraft, the Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild, and Fallout: New Vegas so I guess I’d say hundreds of hours lol.

This is really a “depends” kind of question.

Resident Evil: Village on PSVR2 day 1 would be amazing.

Good list though. I’m looking forward to 7/10 of these

@Integrity @get2sammyb

The irony here is that if you want that kind of experience Xbox Series X will give you the best chance at getting it. I’ll be waiting for performance reviews before choosing which platform to get it on.

Happy new year PS team! I’ve been coming to this site almost daily for about 16 months now.

My new year gaming resolution is to get through FF14 so I can finally play some endgame content lol 😅 started playing in January of 2020

@MyThoughts31

Thanks! We’ll celebrate too 🎉

The heck’s Boxing Day 😅🇺🇸

@lolwhatno

That’s actually Naruto’s father Minato!

Probably a bunch of Halo Infinite w/ some Fallout 76 and possibly Pokémon Crystal at some point.

@Killionaire @jaunalf

Sorry guys I should’ve elaborated, I was talking “biggest” as in the scale that they commit these violations on, not just what they’re doing.

Was really pumped for Back 4 Blood. Bought the game at launch and found it to be a soulless imitation of Left 4 Dead. This acquisition won’t help

@Royalblues oh Microsoft any day. These Chinese mega corporations are an extension of the CCP, the biggest human rights violators on the planet currently.

I’m cautiously optimistic. Harry Potter rpg sounds great on paper but there’s still so much we don’t know.

@fR_eeBritney

That’s easily the best movie of the series. I will quote it all the time.

Can’t believe it’s been a year! What a crazy year it’s been too lol.

Anyways I played this game about 80% of the way through before putting it down. Then when I picked it back up again I made a new character; got maybe 20% of the way in and put it down again.

I like the story and gameplay but the world itself felt kind of lifeless to me, and I didn’t care much for the loot system.

IMO they should’ve leaned harder into how they did things with the Witcher 3. Give us great side stories and leave all the tedious tasks as question marks that can be explored if you feel like it, so they’re not as distracting.

Unfortunately it looks terrible. Huge DB fan and I gotta say this looks like a complete miss

Miles Morales, Demon’s Souls, and Resident Evil: Village were all so good. Still many I need to play though

Assassins Creed 2
Demons Souls + Dark Souls 1/2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Grand Theft Auto 4
The Resistance games
Mortal Kombat 9
Good Call of Duty’s….

TAKE ME BACK

Although I voted Modern Warfare (it really was a game changer), I’m surprised World at War was so lowly rated. It was also fantastic

No. I love the direction they went in with MW2019, but Cold War was too big of a step backwards, and Vanguard doesn’t feel like a big enough step forwards. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ The best part about CoD is it’s the definition of “there’s always next year”

CDPR will never release a game without delaying it at least once ever again.

Not bashing delays, yes we’ve all heard the Miyamoto quote, I just find their newfound timidness funny.

Played the beta and got the Ultimate Edition which included early access and I gotta say this review is spot on 👌. It’s a fun game with a good framework but it leaves a lot to be desired.

• split screen
• a campaign versus mode
• balance (in terms of special ridden spawn rate, Hordes coming too often, Recruit being a cakewalk and Veteran being impossible)
• easier access to cosmetics which are currently unlocked at random

Those are just some of the things I can think of now. I do wish the Ridden had more character to set them apart from each other too; the scream of a Hunter or giggling of a Jockey in L4D2 made them feel unique. Overall though B4B is a solid B game that just isn’t all there yet.

Zombies in Cold War was actually fantastic, but needing 2 PS+ accounts for split screen was an awful decision. Hopefully the old school days of real split screen return someday

Yay….

So where that RDR2 PS5 version at?

Ok I know this game gets a lot of well deserved criticism, but I’m gonna add Fallout 76 to this list.

I don’t see how they can have the gall to have the cash shop be open in that game but not provide the best experience possible.

I tried to replay this on PC about a year ago and couldn’t get more than an hour in. It’s just not as compelling now as when it came out.

@GingerSilent

Couldn’t agree more. The over-secrecy of the gaming industry was fun for a while but it’s become an unending slog of rumors and fake leaks.

Devs don’t have to show off a trailer 7 years before a game comes out (looking at you CDPR/ Bethesda) but there’s nothing wrong with just communicating with your fans what you’re working on.

And yes I know “they don’t owe us anything”… they could choose to do something nice for the fans that stick with them through the thick and thin though.

MGS4 is one of my all-time favorites so I’d love to see it brought back in some capacity. 2, 3, and 5 all have their qualities but I just loved the structure of 4.

Anyways I’m pretty tired of hearing about Silent Hill coming back lol. Almost a decade of rumors have really lessened the impact of that headline for me 🤷‍♂️

God of War 2018 is a phenomenal game, but not really close on my best of all time list. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well to each their own

Diablo 2: Resurrected and the Halo: Infinite beta.

I figured this was the reasoning and I agree with his sentiment. I trust these guys implicitly after all they’ve done 👍

They should’ve just thrown Bloodborne 2 in there for the hell of it

Rockstar has figured out there’s no reason to put the cash cow out to pasture when it can still be milked.

Folks realize though that this delay means any other potential GTA release, or RDR2 next-gen version, is now even further away.

Great news. Just beat GoW 2018 and I loved that it always felt like you’re controlling Kratos. The final boss fight is a perfect example.

It turns out the real final boss is Sony’s communication. Good grief history is repeating itself often on this issue.

Fun fact: the first article I ever read on this site was roughly a year ago regarding Spiderman 2018 not getting a free upgrade. We haven’t come very far 😑

It was good! I would say very good but everything is so far away it deflates it just a little bit.

Unfortunately it looks like another side step rather than a step forward. MW2019 will still be the best CoD experience until MW2022.

“However, the paragraph that seemingly suggests the upgrade would come at no extra cost doesn't quite say that.”

Just curious why anyone feels it’s necessary to defend companies fine print…

Let’s face it. The entertainment industry is moving away from this kind of customer treatment pretty quickly. Sony can learn from these blunders now or 5 years from now but eventually they’ll move away from paid upgrades. It seems like the fans are just asking them to make that change sooner rather than later.

I get a little bit of a smile when I see people so vigorously defend corporate greed, but hey to each their own…

Can’t wait to buy Halo Infinite instead this winter and play it on my X1X, then my computer when someone’s using the X1X for streaming, then on the XSX when I get a hold of that, while only having to buy it that one time. 👍

“Stay tuned, the day of reckoning will come, the record will be set straight.”

Patience pays off! Been waiting to play this since I picked it up for like $10 last summer. Great stuff
