Alright I have to ask do developers not realize that most multiplayer games by independent developers seem to fail. Not saying that this one will but come on. At this point these type of games either need to be on game pass or PS Plus day one to get a large enough audience to support them. Seriously, the game looks great but if its just going to be dead in a month what's the point. I hope it succeeds though.

If you think this price is high, you should check out the other Baldur's Gate games or Neverwinter or Planescape & Icewind Dale. Those are like 49.99.

Thanks for saving me $70 dollars. Was on the fence on Returnal but now I'll wait till it is PS Plus or $10 dollars or less.

I might get it but every time I see the 69.99 price point my brain just can't justify the price for some reason.

Only question I have is how long is this game going to be given that it is a roguelike. Really interested but will have to wait until after reviews and a price drop probably.

@get2sammyb I really liked what I played so unless reviews are truly abysmal, I probably will get it at full price. It being on Game Pass doesn't really matter to me as I won't be getting an Xbox Series X for at least another year or so.

I loved the demo despite some rough points. Hopefully it is good at release as this is one of the games I'm most excited for on PS5 at the moment.

I'm ready for quality $70 dollars games. But far too often games are buggy or not fun to play.

It's good to know this is coming to PS4/PS5 as every time I see it, it looks cool but always seems like an exclusive for XBOX due to their advertisements.

Honestly, I like having seperate lists. It will give me a reason to replay the game in a few years.

The biggest problem for me with this game is that the control scheme is garbage. R1R2 being the attack buttons is awful. It may work for Dark Souls but for fast combat it feels wrong. Remapping it is also near impossible as every button seems to have 3 different things tide to the buttons. Unlike the last two games Valhalla doesn't have alternate controls.

Was really looking forward to playing it despite this review, but the game literally crashed my PS4. Looks like I'm waiting for patches sadly.

Honestly, I still have no idea what 3D audio does.

Looks a bit overcomplicated to me but will wait until I have it to know for sure.

I'm at 517. Kinda sucks that this update happened after I gave up trophy hunting at the beginning of the year.

I really don't see the difference between them. Seriously the leap between generations is tiny. Load times being the only thing that might be different [I'll believe it when I see it].

I'm guessing early 2022 at the earliest but may get delayed as Square tends to do.

With games going up to 70, I probably will have to cut spending on new games. On average I buy most of the big games every year at launch. 70 is a lot harder to justify than 60. 60 is just on the precipice of being too high but is passable. 70 means the games better be damn good or they really need to start offering refunds for bad games.

Honestly might get an Xbox next year after PS5 if I can. Game Pass is amazing and with this it is even better.

Having tried the beta, it was really bad. However, I ended up buying the $80 version to play early and it is way better than the beta was.

69.99 for a game is asking too much. People often cite that movie prices increased but games haven't in 15 years. However, those two can't be compared as you really don't need to justify a movie price. In my state a movie costs less than $20. 20 dollars is easy, 70 dollars is complicated. 60 is just on the precipice of high priced but easier to justify due to its proximity to $50. Hopefully this rant made any sense. Probably not. Guess I'll buy games on sale next generation.

At least they had a beta. Otherwise I would have to delete games to make room. Instead I canceled my preorder.

Hopefully this means Legend of Mana gets remade next. Fingers Crossed.

The thing I see as a problem with this is that you may need to replace controllers more often than on previous generations. I mean if something locks up people tend to press harder.

If the case was white or black it would look better. Currently the white banner at the top looks horrible with the blue case.

Decent list, but I really have found this year to be the worst year in a while for games. So far none of the games from 2020 have been very engaging. Really hoping this fall is better.

Honestly, from what I've played the game doesn't look any better then any AAA game I've played this generation. Ghost of Tsushima is literally Assassin's Creed made by a different company.

@carlos82 Yes, I really want more. Seriously not many 3D platformers exist anymore outside of the formulaic Nintendo ones or other remasters.

The case needs to be either white or black for that white banner. The blue case makes the PS5 games look like used gamestop cases.

Not likely. I find the increase laughable as many games end up not even being worth $60. Some games also make way more then their budget [NBA 2K for example] and still they want more. Few games if any are worth more than $60 [Witcher 3 being one].

I'm so happy that this game is back. I remember playing it on the N64 and playing it again is going to be amazing.

Fast travel makes games more fun. Often the journey isn't as good as the destination in games. It is on you the player to want to take the long way which for many takes to long or is boring.

I wonder if they might have delayed to add a campaign and will reannounce at some point.

Good. I hate 60 fps personally.

While it was fun in Black Flag, naval combat just got old quickly. Also riding up on a fort as a viking and taking it sounds awesome.

I'd give it an 8 or a 9. Would be a ten, but that ending is awful. And there are some minor issues that brought the game down for me.

Good. Now April isn't as busy.

My only worry is companies will view this renewed interest in witcher III as people being willing to buy anything tied to movies or shows. Just like the old days.
You know what screw it, bring on the horrible tie-in ports.

The game was way to buggy for me and also very unrewarding. Also backtracking got very repetitive as time went on. Still it had some decent moments but it is nowhere near my game of the year.

Skyrim was the 2nd game I ever bought for my PS3 back then. It really showed me how far gaming had come and made me a fan of western RPGs. While it wasn't very good at launch on PS3, it is still one of my favorite RPGs having put hundreds of hours into it.

For myself, Resident Evil Revelations is the best of the series with maybe 7 and 2 right behind it. Haven't really played thru any others besides 5 [Which was awful except for the random coop player who destroyed the final boss for me].

While the reveals were solid and the trailers were good, I don't feel State of Play is a good platform for revealing games. It just doesn't work and undermines the games it shows by making them feel run of the mill. I think the live crowd is necessary to hype up a game especially for AAA games.

Maybe they can pull off what Square did for FFXIV and make the game so good that it makes people forget about the Anthem we all got.

From the ones I read on Metacritic, it seems to be more about the game being boring than anything else. From a casual audience prospective, I think this game will be disappointing for many looking for what Kojima is known for.

Nice Easter egg. Honestly, I'm glad they are trying to present what a real soldier might encounter while on a mission. Sure it is deplorable that you can kill the baby, but if it didn't let you it would not provide a true sense of realism which is a big selling point of this Call of Duty.

While many had unrealistic expectations, I only expected Last of Us 2. But even that was disappointing because without the crowd reaction of an E3/Gamescom/Game Awards it was a game I can wait for as opposed to the hype built from hearing the cheers of an announcement at an event. The reveal of Joel should have been so much bigger. The other games as well.

That conference was just bad. Nothing was really revealed in a major way. Deathloop and Ghostwire were the only worthwhile reveals but no gameplay made it kind of pointless [Sound cool, but gameplay would have been better]. If I cared about streaming, Orion sounds interesting but other than the Doom gameplay everything was presented in the worst way possible.

Finishing Mass Effect Trilogy and moving on into Andromeda.

At least it sounds like it will have a single player unlike the last one.

Kind of sad because Far Cry 5 is horrible, but good for Ubisoft. Hopefully Far Cry 6 is better.
