@Oh_fiddlesticks Well in that case you could say the same for Best Action / Adventure Game category (Astro Bot is nominated in both) and Best RPG (with three crossovers: Final Fantasy, Shadow of the Erdtree and Metaphor).
OG OverWatch. I forgot that there were only three healers when the game first started, but that Mercy ultimate team revive is so over powered. And she gets her ultimate so fast. Wish it were a few seasons later though so we could have Doom back as a damage hero.
@OldGamer999 Unfortunately, LEGO has only ever brought back two or three sets once they were retired, and I believe those were fan created. But you can still find the Tallneck set for around a hundred bucks on eBay, which is only about twenty dollars over retail. That price is sure to go up though.
Oxenfree: Lost Signals 2 that I purchased in the store sale for $1.99 because I saw it listed here. That is, if I can get my son to quit playing Vampire Survivors for a little while.
GRIS is a lovely, chill platformer in which you don’t shoot or attack and can’t die. It has a nice art style and soundtrack. And the developer’s new game, Neva, is being released next week, so nice timing.
@Ravix Are those screenshots for real? Or is that a joke? Because the original looks far more realistic. The remastered version looks so shiny and plastic. They have removed all the detail such as age lines and skin blemishes and replaced it with a smooth, glossy veneer. And what’s up with his beard? It’s like he has dyed it with Just for Men to get the grey out. Please tell me that is a joke.
I don’t understand why people keep complaining about the Pro raising the bar for PS6 pricing. Sony must have been aware that consumers were paying $800-$1000 to scalpers for the base PS5 for at least two years after release due to inventory constraints. This suggests that there was a demand there at a higher price point. Sony didn’t need the Pro to prove that.
@Boxmonkey @get2sammyb I wouldn’t exactly say she is covered in tattoos. The moth and fern on her arm are meant to cover her original bite mark, to hide her immunity. Plus, the moth resembles a firefly, has connotations with death and can metaphorically be seen to represent Ellie’s obsession, as a moth is obsessed with light.
The Plucky Squire. And boy am I angry about these stupid Glitchbirds. I replayed a later chapter to collect a scroll that I missed and instead of exiting the chapter after getting the scroll, I continued playing and also picked up a Glitchbird that I had already found which reset the Glitchbird counter (all ten must be found in a single play through). Now I am locked out of the platinum unless I start a new game. Glitchbird is a perfect name for what seems like a stupid glitch. I was so angry that I almost quit playing. Oh well, I still have Astro Bot.
@DennisReynolds @GreatAuk Fairly certain that over half of the Dreamcast North American library ran at 60 fps. The Dreamcast even offered something called PAL 60 which enabled 50 hz PAL televisions to have a refresh rate of 60 fps without borders.
Christmas sales will help as a lot of people probably think of this as geared to a younger audience or will rationalize the purchase as a family gift. Besides, playing Astro Bot on Christmas morning around the tree seems ideal.
I’m still not sold on the first person point of view. It seems like this is the type of game that would be better suited for third person. Imagine playing Tomb Raider or Uncharted in first person. It just wouldn’t be the same.
Best news today. I have been looking forward to this game for a while. Easily one of my most anticipated titles for the year. I was planning on purchasing day one and now I don’t have to because it is on Extra.

Re: PS Portal Will Allow Cloud Streaming in New Beta Update
Is the cloud streaming feature always going to be for Premium members only, or is it just the Beta that is limited to Premium?
Re: UK Sales Charts: Farming Simulator 25 Crops Up in a Nintendo-Heavy Top 10
I had to do a double take. Farming Simulator sold 2 million copies in its first week?
Re: Sony Reportedly in Talks to Acquire Elden Ring Maker Kadokawa Corp
I know it’s not as big as Danganronpa, but Spike Chunsoft also makes AI: The Somnium Files.

Re: PS5 Consoles, PSVR2 Discounts for Black Friday Seemingly Revealed
So the standalone PSVR2 is discounted to the same price as the bundle with Call of the Mountain? That doesn’t make much sense.
Re: Ghostface Looks Like a Scream in Mortal Kombat 1 Gameplay Trailer
This is for all the people who complained that they didn’t know who Homelander, Omni-Man or Peacemaker were.
Re: Game of Thrones Star Sophie Turner Might Play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider TV Show
I would rather see Peter Dinklage as Lara Croft than Sophie Turner. Without a doubt, the weakest actor from Game of Thrones.
Re: PS5 Slim Price Drop Confirmed, $380 Until 24th December
@Darude84 The Slim has 1 Tb of memory. The OG PS5 had 825 Gb. I guess that is an upgrade.
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Getting a Surprisingly Huge Marketing Push

Re: Random: Internet Trolls Tried to Downgrade Our Silent Hill 2 PS5 Review Score
I find it funny that all of the scores are atrociously low yet IGN gives it a 6/10.

Re: PlayStation Begins Pre-Orders for PS5's Chroma Collection, Horizon Remastered, More

Re: Microsoft Is Investigating Why Devs Are Prioritising PS5 Over Xbox
Seems rather self explanatory. Do they really need to research this?

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed on PS5 Until 14th February
@jeff19023 The expression is either death knell or final nail in the coffin. I know. I am being pedantic.
Re: Sony Appears to Leak Many Games from State of Play
@HarmanSmith @soracloud28 There is no way that Alan Wake 2 is coming to Extra the same month the physical edition is being released.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
Isn’t this obviously just to pad Sony’s PSN monthly average user numbers and not something as nefarious as harvesting user data?

Nice to see no one voted Abysmal like usual.
Re: PS5 Pro Probably Won't Run GTA 6 at 4K 60FPS, Tech Expert Claims

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
This really isn’t shocking. What price point was everyone expecting?
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Sales 'Aren't Huge' in UK, But There's Still Hope
Christmas sales will help as a lot of people probably think of this as geared to a younger audience or will rationalize the purchase as a family gift. Besides, playing Astro Bot on Christmas morning around the tree seems ideal.
Re: PlayStation Studios Celebrate Astro Bot's PS5 Arrival with Awesome Artwork
I thought the Ghost of Tsushima artwork was a MF Doom Astrobot at first glance.

Re: Your Astro's Playroom Progress Will Transfer to Astro Bot on PS5
@dschons You are correct. I was looking at the Platinum percentage.
Re: Your Astro's Playroom Progress Will Transfer to Astro Bot on PS5
@dschons I think it’s the club of 4.5 percenters.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for September and October 2024

I am thrilled that there will actually be a physical edition.
Re: Indiana Jones Devs Are Hyped the Game's Coming to PS5

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Was Allegedly Being Talked About Openly at Gamescom
@Blaze215 You have had a pretty good life if buying a PS5 is one of your biggest regrets.
