I’ll definitely visit this location once I start Burning Shores.
@TeapotBuddha. Incredible series. One of the first, along with The Sopranos, responsible for the television renaissance. I did not know Idris Elba was British when it originally aired. A bit envious. Wish I were watching it for the first time. Enjoy.
Does anyone know if there is a physical release confirmed? I am a little worried after the announcement that The Man Who Erased His Name is digital only.
@Ryne-Gaia. I think the chances of Final Fantasy XVI scoring higher than Tears of the Kingdom are about as likely as the chances of Ryne and Gaia being straight.
My son went to visit cousins for a week now that school is out and he took the Switch with him, even though he has a Steam Deck. So I guess my Tears of the Kingdom play through is on hold until he gets back. It’s going to be a long week of me daydreaming about Koroks and hidden shrines. Guess I will jump back over to Tchia with its BotW influenced gameplay. Wonder if a sequel will include building as a mechanic. Hell, I wonder how many future open world games will have building for that matter. Maybe I can finally get the Plat on Tchia while waiting for my return to Hyrule.
@STOBO. Right now Netflix has about fifty mobile games that you can access for free with your subscription. They are all ad free and without micro transactions. I think eventually you are supposed to be able to play them on your television using your phone as a controller. Most of them are your typical mobile fare, although Oxenfree and its sequel are available. This seems like a lot of talent though for another mobile game. They must have something bigger planned for the future to bring awareness to the platform. I hope we eventually see it, but I have doubts.
I’m sure everyone here already knows, but the Tomb Raider trilogy is excellent. My favorite series of all time. I still remember the hours sunk in the original PS1 version. The reboot was really well done. I almost broke down and bought an XBOX when the last one was a timed exclusive.
I absolutely adore games like this. There is a game on PS Plus Extra with a similar painterly style called 11:11 Memories Retold that I discovered because of a comment on this forum. I would never have known about it had not a member here mentioned it in a post. I also purchased and beat Seasons: A Letter to the Future because of its unique art style. I will definitely get this too.
@PhantomMenace84. I think most “burger flippers and cashiers” still make minimum wage. A full time job paying minimum wage (40 hours a week at $7.50) nets three hundred a week. That’s $15,600 a year before taxes, well below the poverty line. People deserve a decent living wage regardless of occupation.
I really enjoyed this review. It did a nice job of explaining the game mechanics while also establishing the more cinematic narrative structure. This is a game that I most likely would have ignored had it not been for the review. Now I will be looking for a future sale in the store. Also, was this the Sherlock game that was crowd funded? Otherwise, why is it a game that was never meant to exist?
I haven’t had my coffee yet, so I’m not running on all cylinders, but why the Travolta Pulp Fiction photo? Is there some kind of pun in the article that I missed? I know you guys love your puns.
@Itachi2099. As of October last year, Valve has sold over a million Steam Decks. And that is while supply chains were constrained. I am sure that another six months with better availability have improved those numbers. The Vita only sold 15 million units during its entire life span of nine years.
I’m used to seeing the permanent presence of Animal Crossing and Mario Kart in the top ten, but now Super Mario Odyssey also. Seems like everyone with a Switch would already have that. Cannot believe there are so many new players to the Switch ecosystem.
I imagine that all the people who tried Wo Long on Gamepass and then trashed it because they found it too difficult didn’t help sales either. Well deserved for Hogwarts though.
This is the game for the new headset that I am most excited about. I still play Rush of Blood occasionally and it is always a game I pull out to show people who are new to VR.
@Shigurui. Thank you. I was not aware of the PS5 upgrade for Gris. That is such a beautiful contemplative game. Looking forward to revisiting for the plat.
