Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Assassin's Creed Shadows?

@glennthefrog I have no idea - I haven’t played it. I would imagine it’s clearly not a 10 but I would also imagine it’s considerably closer to a 10 than a 1.

I wouldn’t give Elden Ring a 10 but then I’m not part of this Dark Souls love-in either.

I do know that it’s both brainless and obnoxious to be giving a game like this 1/10

@DennisReynolds Yes I was going to point out that these aren’t really warnings that it’s a horror game. I completely agree that people don’t need to be warned about the fact a game is there to make them feel uneasy. But you’d have to agree that in the case of very raw and sensitive issues, you can’t not alert people who could have serious problems with themes like child abuse, inherited from actual lived experience …

This endless ‘hatred’ of live service features which is apparently unanimous across the gaming world … in short: everyone hates live service features and yet people both play for them and pay for them regardless.

Consequently developers will keep harping on about how they’re aren’t turning games into ‘live service’ while blatantly doing so anyway. Reminds me of British politics.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for February 2025?

I voted ok. I did find it quite tedious.

I don’t think that’s because there wasn’t a loaded variety of games shown. I mostly felt like a lot of the games seemed to roll into one. There’s a LOT of fantasy games or games about people who are half robot kinda thing. (There’s a term for that, isn’t there? It’s late!)

I really don’t care whether they’re first party or not - as many others have said. But the fact I can’t really remember which game was called what isn’t a great sign for my personal interest levels in what they decided to showcase.

Partly also I do wonder what gets into some people’s heads to give them the idea that some of these ‘filler’ games need to be made. Like something about a camouflaged octopus escaping from a factory and saving the world from aliens. Literally who became convinced that idea should become an actual game???

Re: Game of the Year: #8 - Dragon's Dogma 2

@StylesT I can’t understand all this love for Veilguard on here - a brutally sanitised IP with some of the wettest characters imaginable and a combat system so simplified and lobotomised the word ‘repetitive’ is FAR too mild a descriptor.

Re: Rumour: Mortal Kombat 1's Future DLC Cancelled After Poor Sales of Khaos Reigns

The monetisation of this game has been beyond obscene from the very start at absolutely every single level.

All the skins issued as rewards for playing the new mode were deliberately bland in order to promote ludicrously priced nostalgia skins available in the shop for example.

It’s literally sickening what they did to a hugely beloved franchise. Does it surprise me people have grown tired of their excessive money grabbing? Of course not! Absolute disgrace.
