Well well well...

@Artois2 I've played the game too and know what I saw. Unless they've gone into damage control and patched the game.

I'm guessing you like playing crap games. Look at the reviews (besides this sites "keep every one happy equality" review), look at the comments, look at the player numbers, look at the stats. It's a game no one asked for and it will soon be on sale and forgotten about.

I know plenty of words, but some of them would get my comments removed (again), or my account banned if said them to you, because I don't agree with the admins views or I'm not going along with the crowd and have my own thoughts on gaming.

Thank God for X (Twitter) and even Reddit, where people can comment and speak freely without offending the soft crowd.

@RoomWithaMoose it's not a bad saying, it's common truth these days unfortunately.

I'm guessing you didn't, or refused, to see the Lead Character Designer's comments regarding white people privileges/supremacy, bad/ugly character designs, and other issues in the game that are constantly shoved down our throats by most media these days.

Look I don't care what sex/gender/animal the main characters in the game are, as long as the game itself is enjoyable and isn't shoving it's wokeness in my face. I play games to relax and escape the crap that is out there in the real world. As soon as it enters the game I trying to play, then that game is deleted/returned/binned.

Borderlands is one of my fave franchises, by I wouldn't call it comedy in BL3.

Trailer looks ok, but being Ubisoft, the visuals will be watered down and gameplay will not be as good once the final product is released. This is just a cg trailer.

True that the AC games have never been about accuracy, but I feel that Ubisoft are playing the woke card. Imagine an AC set in America and the main character was a Chinese or Indian person playing the main "important" character, interacting with all these historical figures. There would be an uproar. As long as the gameplay is fun and the cutscenes ar skip-able.

Once you get past the the opening hours and expand your world and travel options the game becomes more enjoyable. The combat is fun and I don't mind the ticking off the open world checklist. Missions can be repetitive but show me an open world game which isn't just as repetitive.

It seems most reviewers didn't get too far into the game or even finish the game even. No mention of the later towns, their well designed layouts, or how nice sunlight breaking through trees at a forest shrine can look.

An update or two could clean up the visuals and fix a few shortcomings. But as a YouTube reviewer said, this game is more focused on a realistic setting and visuals, compared to the Hollywood/glamourised style visuals of Ghost of Tsushima. Real life Japan looks more like RotR than GoT.

I'd give this a 8.5.

I'm loving the game. I don't mind a Ubisoft type checklist game. I'm too old and time restricted to worry about aimlessly looking for collectibles or solving complex puzzles. Plus give me an open world feudal Japan game any day and I'll play it Fr weeks on end.

I'm a sucker for any game set in Japan, especially feudal related. The Nioh games, and any souls-like game, are too hard for me, as I be softened in my old age and restricted for time. So I usually play games on the easiest settings so I can enjoy them instead of constantly buying new controllers.

Yes Ghost of Tsushima looks and plays better as a samurai game. Yes it follows the same open world formula of clearing areas of bad guys and unlocking areas as Ubisoft games. Yes it looks like a last gen game. But personally I'm loving this game.

Is there an invert y option yet?

The initial gameplay reveal looked rubbish, then they delayed the game. To me it still looks like rubbish. Wouldn't play it if it was free.

Ok, why was my Merry Christmas message removed for being"unconstructive"? I even said to keep up the good reporting and reviewing in 2024.

@Palleon I'm referring to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releasing tomorrow.

@Shigurui disappointing. It has the potential to be a fun game IMO. Thanks for the update 👍

@Shigurui I picked up Sable when it released on PS5 and I really wanted to enjoy it. But the frame rate gets worse and worse the longer you play it. Patiently waiting for that patch if it ever releases.

Sorry PS Store sale, my PS5 console will be gathering dust for a while and getting a good rest. I'm currently travelling in Japan and a certain game comes out this Friday on a certain console. So when I return home I'll be playing that for the next few weeks/months.

@KundaliniRising333 there was no personal attack anywhere in my comments. If you actually look back I was the one personally attacked for my comment saying I hadn't had any issues.

Also i said I haven't come across any major bugs or glitches or major fps drops. I never said it was a near perfect game, I just haven't experienced any problems and I've completed the story. Just because people seem to be whinging about certain problems doesn't mean everyone else are having those same problems. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. If I find a game to be a buggy unfinished mess I'll call it out.

I will happily upload a play session for you, but if you want exact frame rates and other statistics, you can work all that mumbo jumbo out. I got better things to do, like enjoy the game and finish up finding all the collectables.

@WallyWest Dude, if a game makes you angry, play something else.

Also people are complaining about the quality of the game, but don't want to play it on quality mode???🤔

I will happily upload gameplay videos to show that I have no issues.

@WallyWest no I don't have low standards. I pick up small details in movies and games that others don't see. I just haven't come across them personally. Just like all the Breath of the Wild or Red Dead Redemption glitches/bugs videos on YouTube, I haven't come across any in those games either, and I've been playing them from day one.

On the other hand, Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's Creed I've suffered through glitches and bugs that some were game breaking. Even Ghost of Tsushima gave me a bug which I had to restart the game 4 times once I got to the second island.

No need to get so defensive just because someone doesn't agree with you. I'm also not a digital foundry fanboy so I don't believe every word of theirs like gospel.

I haven't had any major issues with this game. Haven't noticed ant major fps drops, or blurring, or other graphical issues besides some flickering background image once which went away when I moved closer to it. Either people need to get their consoles repaired or just have utter hatred towards EA (which is understandable given their track record). Now Cyberpunk 2077 was a different beast all together when it was released on PS4. That was a huge mess.

Besides the odd graphical glitch/flash, I haven't come across any bugs yet. Great game, looks beautiful, fun to play, and wasn't even on my to-buy list until the recent trailers, and I'm a huge Star Wars fan.

Yeah I don't understand PC news on a PS site.

Waiting for the BOTW speedrun article.

I've only just started playing RE4 and I don't see what the issue is with her voice? Sounds normal and believable to me. Those who take these game changes too personally have serious mental issues.

If they replaced her voice with a male or over the top cartoon voice, then that would be silly. But not silly enough to personally target the voice actor. There's bigger issues in the world at the moment than someones voice.

Thanks for the guide. This will come in handy when I pick up the game next week.

GTA IV is underated. I'm replaying it now on my Xbox Series S and it handles and controls suprisingly good. Yes it's drab looking at times but I'm enjoying this more that the arcadey style of gameplay than the recent games. I wish R* would remaster this.

Um yeah, it was a GameCube original, then ported to the PS2.

Glad to hear that Capcom has perfected perfection.

I don't understand the aerial combat in Suicide Squad. Everytime they showed combat the characters were zipping around in the air while shooting. Looks way worse than Gotham Knights.

I'm late to the party with the Yakuza series, having only played Yakuza 0 and 5. But being a Samurai/Edo style fanatic, this was a must buy.

Yes it feels dated at times, but it's a blast to play. The mini games and side quests are both fun and funny, and there is heaps to do and see.

@stvevan totally agree. I go to Nintendo sites for Nintendo reviews on Nintendo hardware.

Be ready to have your comments removed because you don't agree with chosen few.

PC reviews now? Ok

Wow, my comment was removed for being inappropriate. I guess someone didn't like something I said, even though it wasn't aimed at anyone or any group. What a weird time we live in. I guess forest fires are a sensitive subject for some people.

Back into Destiny 2 after a 2 year break. Really enjoying it, easy to jump in and ay a few strikes etc. Also finally bought Shadowkeep and Beyond Light on sale.

I'm still chipping away at Lego Skywalker Saga. I've competed all the planets in free play, just need to replay the episode levels to collect the minikits and challenges.

I'm also running through Horizon Forbidden West. Another big, time consuming game.

Ok when does Australia get it? We fall under European realease dates for games but then we come under Asia for other things.

DLC characters are disappointing imo. No voice lines and the weapons have generic qualities, not personalised. For example Baze Malbu's blaster shoots a slow rate single blaster bolt while in the movie he had a heavy weapon type blaster. Big missed opportunity with the DLC. They could have added new levels/missions and they would have been snapped up.

I had to double check what I was reading, as I thought it was a co-op list. Less than half the games on here would be classed as true co-op. Going by this list, it seems every game is co op, as all you do is hand the controller over to your friend if they want a go 🙄

But seriously, the best co-op games IMO are the Borderland series, Destiny 2, Overcooked, A Way Out, Lego Skywalker Saga, every Lego game..

Art of Rally is highly recommended. Great gameplay, replayability, stylish visuals and a thumping soundtrack.

GOTY for me. I'll be playing the episodes in the order of the film releases: 4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9.

Not sure if it's been said anywhere else but I think here in Australia we'll be getting a fourth tier: PS Plus Deluxe. This is because we don't get or never had PS Now streaming here, so this will apparently be a tailor made tier for us down under. So no streaming for us again. Not sure of the price point..

I can see this being my GOTY.

As I a big Borderlands fan I was unsure about this one. BL2 was the pinnacle, with The Pre-sequel being good and BL3 was average and disappointing. Also I'm not a big fan of the fantasy/D&D genre in general and was afraid all that magic would not fit in with Borderlands world.

Boy was I wrong. The gameplay is as fun and tight as it's ever been, and the new magic/spells fit in perfectly. The quests and missions are entertaining and funny with a few actual laugh out loud moments for me. The level/area design and locations are some of the best of the series. The only downsides so far are technical, being visual hiccups in the menu and online/co op connectivity, which can both be patched.

I do highly recommend this if you're after a fun shooter, even if you disliked BL3. Yes it's more of the same but it's varied and improved enough to make it different from previous games in the series.

This will be my GOTY.

These tech demos of realistic graphics have been shown for years. But still only cut scenes can process this realism. We have yet to see a full game if this quality.
