Keep Starfield. Gimme Quantum Break.

@nomither6 Bollocks

The sky is such a lovely colour in Japan

Will it play Alan Wake 2 quality mode at 60fps with no compromises? 🤔

Bond transfer, technology research, fugitives.... Looks like there's a lot in there. Waiting for reviews.

I don't want to live, work or build in a game. Idiot.

Part 2 proved the man is a brave storyteller, not afraid to make you feel uncomfortable, repulsed or even angry and frustrated. Personally, I'm looking forward to whatever he does next. Though I do hope he stays in videogames.

"The biggest thing working against Ubisoft's latest is seemingly players' preconceived notions" Disagree. This game is exactly what we think it is and not what we wanted. And hell yes I've been playing Black Flag again.

Nice review. Really loved Vampyr and the developers have said this is something of a "spiritual successor".

Will I be the only one voting for a Shadow of Rome revival!? 😂

It's admirable that Asian developers still strive to make attractive female characters in their games.

On gamepass... Sometimes I get quite envious of our Xbox owning buddies.

Looks good. Fast combat, intersting lore, and - of course - jiggle physics.

After Seperate Ways I want a full Ada Wong game. Such a great character, (and the voice actor did a great job IMO).

Psalm 11:6 was my weapon of choice last playthrough. Contagion + Fire bullets = boom boom.

@NinjaNicky you think they don't know how popular it is? After all the accolades and 30+ million sales? It's more that they have misunderstood 'why' it is popular.

Am I wrong for genuinely hoping that this flops hard? And that results in a new proper Arkham game to recoup their rep?

Refine the onland controls and rip out 75% of the tailing missions and I'll get it from CEX a year after release. Thanks Ubi. Hail Hydra.

The wider cultural implications are glorious. Good work, gamers.

Ship space hard breaker!!!! Yep that'll do me. ☺

Harassment is always wrong, but on now seeing what she really looks like . . . damn, Insomniac did this (very beautiful) woman a disservice with SM2.

No thanks. The episode was fine, but added nothing to the story and was only inserted to attract awards attention, not having the cajones to depict the characters relationship as it was implied to have unfolded in the game. Ironically, they pussied out.

@roylaza oh wow. Got a lot of awesome games to look forward to! Thanks for sharing ☺

@roylaza general survey I'm doing.... Does backlog mean that you bought it and are yet to play it? Or that you didn't buy it and just decided you would play it at some point? Thank you, hope you enjoy it.

This game has the same narrative director as Vampyr, that fact alone makes this a day one for me.

@LifeGirl I still disagree. Cyberpunk was never a terrible game, just one that launched with severe technical issues on underpowered hardware. That was the mistake, and a very bad move by the company. But it was an experience people wanted (great marketing, keanu reeves, still not luck) that CDPR eventually delivered over literal years of refinement.

@LifeGirl lucky? Nah, they worked hard and fixed it.

So... Ichiman captures and imprisons people then forces them to fight for his own glory? Sold!

Ishin broke the Yakuza spell for me. First one I didn't finish. Think it felt like a massive step back after the continual upward trajectory of the series. Still, glad it finally got released over here and people got to enjoy it.

I kind of agree with him, but where else could they have gone with Kratos? Although the accepting yourself nonsense of Valhalla rang hollow to me and should have been called 'Sympathy for a Genocidal Maniac'.

Looking good. Hopefully can scratch that samurai itch after the disappointing Ishin.

@get2sammyb I'd have to respectfully disagree. Uncharted and TLOU as original Sony properties, have left a far bigger cultural footprint than Rachet. Spiderman is already part of the world's biggest IP. For that reason I think the Dog is still on top.

I finished it. There were parts exactly like this in the main game. It was kind of an average shooter with a great artistic vision. Not sure if I want more of it, though I'd be interested to see what Mundfish do next.

Xbox finally sorting itself out with exclusives. Good for them. Might pick up the Series S with game pass once they're all out.

Can't it be like the Oscars where just the recognition implicit in the nomination is prestigious?

Looks like a halibut good time.

Just replayed this last month. Was way better than I remembered, easily on par with Insomniacs Spiderman games.

Reckon Keanu would be up for it? 😁

Getting Yakuza 5 vibes from this. An all-in, everything and the kitchen sink, swing for the fences approach. Good luck to the RGG team, got a lot to prove without Nagoshi IMO.

I wish more games would cut out their sewer levels.

Big Lemmiwinks vibes, looks mid.

BG3 really is 'The Game of the Year' for 2023. It hit the cultural zeitgeist much like Elden Ring did in 2022.

@Triumph741 Having played Arkham City and then Knight after Spiderman 2, gotta say I agree.

Edit. Spiderman deserves best direction for them setpieces though.

You can't turn off a love of Bad Religion.

Its going to be interesting to see the full (digital included) chart for these weeks, what with Alan Wake and Yakuza: Like A Yakuza: Ninja Gaiden going digital only.

Eeehhh... Who dat?

What is this? "Here is is a half arsed collection of decades old games. By the way they still need fixing." Great. Take my money Konami. Seriously.

Didn't get to Tokyo, but visited Dotenbori in Osaka during my time in Japan (Sotenbori in LAD) . I think we were about 30 years too late for the true seediness. Although, I did find one neighbourhood that was entirely 'love cafes'.

If there's no preloaded, what the heck did I download yesterday?

Edit: just re-read the article and its only bundles that miss the preload. Off to go sleep until midnight 😴

The second part should have a "Yeah, it was the 90's" option. 😂
