@N1ghtW1ng I'm really just half-out. The threat of having to go back there is a perennial sword of Damocles hanging above my neck, forcing me to work hard enough not to be sent back

It's not getting any better for Rocksteady, is it?

Well, good luck with investing in South Africa. The economic situation has been rapidly worsening for years now. Not to mention how the plummeting Rand has made gaming far more expensive there in the last two decades. I remember how in 2005 I could buy some new releases for R400. These days it's anywhere from R1300, up to R1800 for Call of Duty.

Really happy that Tekken and Like a Dragon managed to push MW3 and FC 24 down (at least for a week)

Bloody hell. The layoffs aren't even daily anymore. It's multiple times per day now

I'm getting the collector's edition. Really hope that this will overtake Tekken 5 as the best Tekken game.

That's sad. I frequently trade in and browse Game and love using it as an excuse to go somewhere and not do work or research for a few minutes.

@nessisonett Why feel the need to be so sanctimonious? It doesn't read any different to being a religious zealot. "This person is on the other team, so they're bad."

It's really good imo that they're including a slice of the story. It shows that they recognise that plenty of people (myself included) really enjoy the wacky Tekken world. Hopefully this means that we also get better arcade endings than the post Tekken 5 games

Please give us Slayer

Should've been called Eric Halibut

English tea is absolutely ghastly. It shouldn't even be allowed to be classified as tea.

I take it back. I totally agree. This is the best mission in the game. Actually, this is my favourite mission in any game. Ever. It should win every single award. Anybody who loves this mission has perfect taste.

I'm somewhat surprised about Eso and Kechizu being playable. I wonder if this means that there will be no Kamo, Mechamaru or Finger Bearer, since it's only been marketed as having 15+ characters. Since Hidden Inventory is confirmed as DLC, I presume that we'll get 0 Yuta and Geto in the base game, so that already makes it 16.

AC Mirage and maybe some Klonoa. Might dip into Sonic Frontiers again soon.

It's a pity about the release timing. I like the look of the game so much that I 100% would have bought this if it released at any other time this year.

@PenguinLtd I enjoyed what I played immensely (I think about half way through) when it released. But the bugs were just too much to handle, including losing about 10 hrs on my save, so I traded it in. If the game is fixed (I think that the frame rates have mostly been remedied), then it should be fantastic.

I feel like this comment section won't be satisfied until GTA 6, Elder Scrolls VI, Half Life 3 and Jak 4 release in the same month.

How on earth can you downplay this release schedule and act like this isn't incredibly out of the ordinary for January/February? Just new Yakuza, Tekken and Final Fantasy games alone would've made this a way bigger start than most years.

@Mauzuri You think that Sony's lineup has been lacklustre the last few years? That's funny, because I feel the opposite way. Just in 2021 and 2022 we had Returnal, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo, Horizon, God of War. I play on all 3 console platforms and honestly, I haven't enjoyed any game from Xbox or Nintendo in that same time frame as much as any one of those games I just mentioned. Especially not Pokémon, as one of the examples you mentioned.

@Brydontk Well, apart from a 2d fighting game, there's really not anything else that one can use to adapt JJK into video game form. There are too many 3d fighters for properties that shouldn't have them, of course, but that's because they sell the best. But just because other games that shouldn't be 3d (or 2d) fighters are, doesn't mean that it's this game's fault for being what it is.

My point is basically just that it's unfair to lump this game in with other games from vastly inferior development teams. I don't think any of the other teams in the genre compare to CC2 or Byking.

We've almost certainly not seen the combat system before 'dozens of times'. That's like saying every fps game is the same. Byking games tend to be quite unique. The My Hero One's Justice games don't quite feel like anything else.

This is a nice bonus, but I'm still waiting for them to integrate Crunchyroll into the subscription

I think moving the release date up will end up doing wonders for this game. Myself and I think plenty of others see this as a nice warmup before Spider-Man (or Lords of the Fallen)

I'm interested to see where AC Mirage will end up next week. I suppose beating FC 24 will be out of the question, so a 2nd place result should be good enough.

It seems to have just moved from one bad release date to another. I wonder why December or maybe the start of January wasn't possible.

So, I think we now have all of the new characters from Tekken 5 returning, apart from Devil Jin

Can't wait to only listen to Tekken 5's (the undisputed, best Tekken game) music

Interesting strategy to release a few days before Mario...

@NinjaNicky Well, I don't think that it'll fail, but the problem is that there are just too many games in October that I do actually want. I'm definitely getting Spider-Man and Mario, but I do want this, Lords of the Fallen and AC: Mirage as well. It's just impossible to buy or play all of those games in such a short time frame, though.

I really really can't fathom why they'd choose a release date like that. I think it should still be fine, due to the quality of the original, but why release it in the most packed month in years? Why not wait a month or two?

Red Dead 1 is one of my favourite games ever...but there's just no way I'm paying that much. Out of principle, if nothing else.

Man, I wish they would bring Tekken 5 to modern consoles. Both Dark Resurrection and the OG, so that we can get the T1-3 arcade games as well.

Smart move. The game needs to get as far away from the Spider-Man (& Mario) sized black hole of sales as possible

Oh no...I might have to play Fortnite for the first time in years

Looks very charming. I'll never get enough of Toriyama's art style.

An absolute perfect selection of guest characters for MK. Ecstatic to see Takeda back as well. Homelander on his own is a sure-fire way to increase sales.

@KaijuKaiser What? How is 63 or 67 near a failing grade? Is that an American thing? It's 40-50 in the countries that I've lived. (Not defending the game btw, I haven't really followed the discourse or played it)

I hope it's on the same level as the Godzilla game

A certain new-ish Luffy form, I presume?

Such an ill-fitting, meagre song. A shame, since the OST is so good.

Thank Greagor for the motion blur toggle!

Ultimate Ninja Storm, One's Justice and Hinokami Chronicles are all great. Just because One Punch Man and Jump Force are bad, doesn't mean that this will be.

It's far less generic than the vast majority of multiplayer shooters. Reductionism at its finest.

I'd give it a nine. Incredible highs with some annoying issues. One of them being the canonical size of Valisthea. The supposed size of the region in the story is treated quite inconsistently between separate main missions, side missions, as well as gameplay. It breaks the immersion for me.

It sounds like the game has about the same quality of storytelling as AEW itself...

@Titntin Yeah, agreed. I also just feel like RDR1 just has so much soul that's lacking in the sequel. Its atmosphere in particular was exquisite.

I would take any version of RDR1, even just a port. I massively prefer it to the sequel, even if the sequel is obviously also great

I'm still somewhat interested in this, but it just went from having a pretty decent release date to an absolute death sentence.

@Loamy I read that article now and I'm not surprised at all. That's why I've avoided that site since a certain article about Kingdom Come: Deliverance

@Americansamurai1 True, I remember there was some medieval central European movie last year that used rap throughout its entire trailer
