They really are just out of idea's now aren't they?

What a gorgeous piece of crap.

175gig preload. Good, freaking lord.

Open mouth, insert foot.

@dskatter No. Nonononononono. I want it, the EXACT, way it was. Glorious. It isn't just damage. It's the overall effect of the weapon. It's current 1st target nonsense is ridiculous.

Reverse,
The,
FLAMETHROWER NERF!

Adjust the other weapons accordingly but fix this ugly, poor performing, garbage Flamethrower.

I'm so whelmed over this announcement. Could Sony PLEASE make a virtual presentation that isn't terrible or at least better than underwhelming?

Thats....a reeeeeeaaaally short list for 700$.

More graphics. More performance. Meh. That's fine. Not really interested at 700$.

This is...so much joy. Just joy. I was gonna play CoDBlops beta. But no, need joy.

Score only here as well. I've been looking forward to this. Of course my kid is sick so my PS5 is probly gonna get kidnapped....RIP.

Unnerf my damn flamethrower and I'll dive again.

Probably start with refunding the 25000 people who bought it.

If you Removed the Fandom aspect, I wonder what the score would be?

Just had visions of Astro Bot on SteamDeck....yes please

Suicide Squad vs Concord for biggest fail of the generation was not on my bingo card. Wallets are tighter these days and weird box-priced live service games are not gonna fare well. I am genuinely curious how SW: Outlaws does with its absurd ultimate edition price tag.

If it comes with the rumored native back compat for the entire playstation library, it's a day one purchase for me.

Reviews like this make me miss Battleborn.

Sorry but this ticks all the boxes of no for me.
-yet another generic hero arena shooter
-always online
-nothing compelling with gameplay
-box price
-required PSN subscription because of box price

Big time pass for me.

Strange, I'd love to blame Jim Ryan for his misguided live-service direction...but this puts it smack in the middle of Shawn Layden's tenure. However, being 'in development' can mean a lot of different things. In concept, exploring direction options, you name it. Kind of an odd statement all things considered.

I've had a fabulous Cuda 4tb for almost 2 years now and it's fabulous. I tried an 8tb but it went poorly. Didn't have the integrated heatsink and just returned it. I'll wait for that mammoth price to come down and see if the PS5 Pro with full native back compat lands before trying another SSD.

Such heavy Shadow Complex vibes here. Love it.

Just open with PS5 pro with full native back compat on all Playstation systems and I'll be happy.

If they get it SteamDeck Verified I'm gonna laugh. I'm good with a locked 30 if it's portable and gorgeous

I think I got the original for like 10$. 5 years ago. Never did get into it. Too schlocky for my tastes. Still, that's about the current value of it.

So once they announce the PS5 pro with native Back compat to all Playstations and now we get all Xbox that matters.

Super earth is gonna burn.

Pitchfork is the singular reason I refuse to play any new Borderlands game. Was a colossal ass-hat.

I doubt there are many that will weep for the abomination of Suicide Squad. I'm only sad for the employees at Rocksteady forced to work on this for years. Greed kills.

I have to question the timing of this statement when Bungie is making yet another round of mass layoffs immediately following what seems to be a successful expansion launch.

Ugh...AI has been in game development for years. This hype is unnecessary prep work on us. Like Mom sneaking Sour Cream into a recipe then telling us later after we praised the dish, knowing how much we hate sour cream.

This was not very well thought out. The only real target markets were Switch and PS5/PS4. Xbox and Steam you can still buy the old version. A few new levels is not gonna force a purchase for such a niche older game. PC especially. I'm all for consolidating old fabulous indie titles on my Switch, but complaining about how terrible the sales were is pretty weak. This was never gonna be a juggernaut. Or even a shadow of its originality.

Man the schill train just don't stop with this lemon.

This trend of entertainment studio's apologizing and excusing before products are released lately, is really interesting. Especially considering the complete opposite to their counterparts who are just promoting.

-Ghost of Tsushima: no apology. Just amazing promotion.
-Ass Creed Shadows: already apologizing and excusing months before release.

-Rings of Power: Been apologizing and excusing since it was in concept. Wanting to make Tolkeins world for 'modern audiences'.
-The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: great promotion by all involved after making the series as tho it was to be watched by Tolkein himself.

-Star Wars Disney: huge promotion for a dedicated fan base that has, at best, had mixed results. The poor results always attack the fans.
-Star Wars Lucasfilm: huge promotion and even when the results are mixed, the reception is appreciative.

-Game of Thrones HBO: even with the high controversy of the final season, there was nothing but love for the material and George RR Martin even being directly involved.
-Wheel of Time Amazon: a complete dumpster fire, train wreck over-saturated with CGI garbage instead of good writing.

There's plenty of more examples. But what's the difference? True dedication and often reverence for the source material. Peter Jackson's trilogy was a love letter to Tolkein. Rings of Power...I dunno what that's supposed to be. Ghost was nearly a decade of love put into by Sucker Punch. Current Star Wars is almost degenerate in respect to the source material. And don't get me started on the Wheel of Time series, the actors aren't great but good lord...that storytelling and writing is trash.

Man....I know this game is DOA. But I didn't think a Poll would be DOA also!

We need a name for these predictably DOA Live Service games. Watcha think?

DOALS?

Current participants:
-Suicide Squad
-Skull n Bones
-Concord? I see nothing interesting, original or in any way compelling aside from marketing and schill media articles praising it.

Ngl...I'm so tired of this genre, Concord could be revolutionary and amazing, but I still won't even breathe on it.

Good lord this is so much BG3 envy.

Just came Up in Florida.

I've never gotten into Madden, but I always enjoyed the College games. This was one of my only pre-orders for the rest of the year.

Still waiting for the promised offline update.

@KennethKoerperich88 I played thru FF16 recently. I'm not particularly great with timing mechanics anymore, as age has finally caught up with me. But the timely accessories in particular, made for a much more enjoyable experience than I expected. Yes, there are many who have far more debilitating circumstances, as all of us likely will at some point. I simply find the whole idea of catering with a simple menu toggle to be unimaginative and lazy. Such is the trend of modern games tho.

Ok...No Death seems a bit too far in catering. Not even sure who would want that mode? And with nothing more than a menu selection? Very unimaginative. The FF16 approach to difficulty is probably my favorite. The critique against From Software is hilarious. A game for everyone is a game for no one.

Gonna keep ebaying CIB PS3/PS2/PS1 titles tyvm.

I would love to know how they implement this digitally since the PS3 store is still live and it's the same account.

It's gonna take these mega-corps years and billions of dollars to realize, we aren't interested in mass consumption of games. This isn't the movies or comics. Quality is far more important than quantity.

I'm gonna Spam A so hard for this. It's a return to Dragon Age 2 glory! Very exciting.

@Nem F the MSQ and normal dungeons are particularly easy. Healing has been a growing problem for years. Dispelling became a rare use and the increase in hybrids with heals and buffs like Dancers, or in some cases a far better Rez utility like Red Mages. The complete dumbing down of Healing such as the utter destruction of the Astrologer class from its original awesomeness. I gave up Healing in Endwalker. It's a thankless job with limited group support outside of playing tetris with the heal bars. Even Sage being a DPS-ey Disc Priest style healer is terribly boring with extremely limited DPS mechanics. All the excitement in FF is purely in the DPSers.

Great game.
20 years ago.

I'd pay good money for the Xenosaga Trilogy playable on PS5.

Well...I was briefly interested with the Early 90's setting.
