Damn. I recently bought HotWheels Unleashed 2, and haven’t even played it yet

Why does anyone buy games at launch???

@Emmiranda I think you’ve got it wrong. They didn’t count games without a physical version at all.

I’m in the $100 savings group. I’m glad I won’t be forced to pay for a drive I won’t ever use (when I eventually upgrade to the Pro). Haven’t bought game on disc since PS3.

And no, it’s not because I’m too lazy to switch a disc. It’s because I live in a small apartment in the city and prefer to not have a lot of physical things with no good place to store them.

@Katsuhono regarding GoW Ragnarok, I remember quite the opposite, that originally it was going to be 2 more full games (making it a Norse trilogy) but that they combined them into the single sequel.

Far from wanting to play games early, I will ALWAYS wait for them to be on sale and get the less buggy, patched version for cheaper. I can’t fathom how anyone has so much FOMO (especially for single player games) that they’d pay extra to effectively be a beta tester.

There needs to be an option for “Dead Space Remake was great but I already own it”

The ones missing I really wanna see upgrades for are
1. Bloodborne - 60fps @ 4k
2. Red Dead 2 - 60fps
3. Black Myth Wukong - Actual 60fps without frame-gen

> $200 million for those 3 years Sony was involved would be more believable.

@MrMagic but that’s exactly what the article says. Like verbatim: “when it acquired the studio and took full control over the project, it allegedly spent a further $200 million getting the title ready to release.”

@CrashBandicoat thank you for being honest and speaking the truth about PC gaming. I was a PC gamer for many years before switching to consoles, and what you describe is exactly why I switched. Now I spend all of that time fiddling with drivers and settings (like you said, sometimes days), just getting to play games with zero hassle. Maybe a lot of people don’t mind the hassle, but I sure hated it (and that’s as someone who used to build servers as part of my job). It just felt like more work!

@dskatter the same is true of Rising Revengence! The 360 version is backcompat & thus still being sold digitally!

@evasdf Thank you! Someone else who agrees that MGS4 was terrible! MGS5 might have been rough in places, but at least it felt like an actual game (with a fun gameplay sandbox), rather than tiny bits of gameplay sprinkled between watching a series of the worst-written CGI movies of all time!

You’d think Xbox have similar data, which is why it baffles me that so many 1st-party Xbox games aren’t supporting 60fps (at least initially): e.g. Redfall, Starfield, Hellblade 2, and now Avowed.

If WB Games sees all these comments about wanting it to be Live Service, they aren’t gonna realize it’s sarcasm, are they

@Czar_Khastik Hopefully we can play as Harry Potter but with guns!!!

Super weird this preview compared it to Only Up and not Jusant (or Grow Home/Up). Glad to see others mentioned those games in the comments!

I almost never buy games unless they’re on sale with a hefty discount. It seems insane to me that people pay more for a buggier version. The only exception so far this gen was buying Elden Ring at full price, and before that it was Dark Souls 3 (due to mostly peer pressure). Oh and never ever pre-order!

Looks great. But I’m confused as to why this isn’t Little Nightmares 3. It certainly looks the part.

other: Blade by Arkane, Insomniac’s Wolverine, new Darksiders, Resident Evil 9, Bloodborne 60fps 4K upgrade for PS5, Red Dead 2 60fps upgrade

How about a re-review to let us know if it is now a truly better game?

Not a great month for me personally as I’ve already purchased Ender Lillies (but have yet to play it) and I’ve already played a bit of Lego Stars Wars on GamePass. Zero interest in FNaF

I think this article might be misleading. Everything I’ve read prior to this said that Bluepoint was working on an original game, not necessarily an original IP. Which leaves hope for it being Bloodborne 2. Though I’d also be happy with Demon Souls 2.

Wonder where Shadow of The Erdtree would have ranked if we could have voted for it. I don’t care if it’s just a DLC, it’s my GOTY!

Other: Shadow of the Erd Tree

After watching SkillUp’s glowing preview of Plucky Squire, that’s now up there (with AstroBot) for my most anticipated.

Playing Elden Ring DLC and loving it. I’m on NG+, level 200, and the difficulty feels pretty perfect to me. Beating most bosses after just a few tries. Not ashamed to use NPC summons and mimic tear though

I might have been interested in Borderlands 3, if I didn’t already have it, and gotten bored of it after less than 10 hours

My 5 are: AstroBot, Black Myth, Dragon Age, Enotria, Plucky Squire. Stars Wars Outlaws woulda been my 6th. I’m hoping Vampire Bloodlines 2 is good.

Wow that looks and sounds fantastic. The Dark Messiah influence is definitely strong!

I would love an animated show — along the lines of Netflix’s Castlevania or Blood of Zeus — that covers the backstory of the Shattering or maybe even before that. I’d love Ranni to be the main character. Or maybe about the Gloam Eyed Queen vs Marika?

Thank god games don’t cater to everyone. There are too many games to play as it is!

Love the unique art style!

Eh no thanks… the market is overflowing with JRPG’s lately. And FromSoft is just way too good at action combat (be it souls-style or mechs).

> "I don't believe you can get across the uncanny valley; I think that will always be just five steps ahead.“

I dunno. Been playing Hellblade 2 recently and I think it’s hopped right over the valley to legit photorealism.

That said, though Hellblade 2 is absolutely stunning graphically, I’m having way more fun playing Another Crab’s Treasure, despite it’s simplistic, cartoony graphics.

@tameshiyaku I have to agree with @DennisReynolds. FromSoft’s DLC are the best. But CDPR aren’t far behind. Both of them blow away most other games’ DLCs

I can’t believe Bloodborne’s Old Hunters DLC only got an 87. Not a bad average, but it’s probably my all time favorite DLC. But maybe ER: SotET will surpass it?

Good thing for the PS5 Metacritic score that Eurogamer reviewed the PC version, giving it only 60/100.

Miller was definitely being an *****. Despite everything, Avalanche’s game turned out to be pretty damn good! And Kojima is the most overrated game dev ever, whose worst flaw is never ending expository dialogue, which ironically, Miller claims to hate and thus avoids, having very little dialogue in his movies.

Glad to hear they’re adding the navigation guide. There were definitely a couple levels I got lost in for way too long.

@Enigk same experience for me too. Same issue with Hades & Deadcells. I think roguelikes just aren’t for me. Which is a shame because I like pretty much everything else about those 2 games.

Give us more Bloodborne and all will be forgiven!

@Ralizah unlike other series, catching up on RE is at least feasible thanks to the short length of each game. In the past year I played through the 5 latest RE games which took under 60 hours total (so less than a single JRPG). I loved all of them too!

Something is VERY wrong with Eve’s proportions in that artwork. Her lower half is like 3x bigger than it should be!

@tameshiyaku Agree that the Game of Thrones game was great. Probably the Telltale game I liked 2nd best after Wolf Among Us. Really sad they never continued/finished the GoT story in it.

I don’t usually anime/manga games, but this looks really fun, and the vehicle combat makes it seem like a fresh take on the open world formula. Will definitely pick this up at some point, when my backlog is a bit smaller.

This is great news. I’d love to try the COD Black Ops Cold War campaign since the game was added to PS+ essential a while back… but every time I remember that it requires 150 GB (minimum) install, I just say forget it!

I’m not usually into most survival crafting games, but this looks interesting and I’m a “sucker” for its vampire theme. Will definitely try it when it comes out on PS5.

@Keyblade-Dan The leak from the FTC vs Microsoft/ABK suit mentioned that there is an Oblivion remake in the works.

Looks amazing! Does anyone know for sure if it’s actually a metroidvania? Really hoping it’s not a roguelike (ala Dead Cells)!

As always… I’m going to pray for anything Bloodborne related, and be disappointed. But seriously… what has Bluepoint been up to since the Demons Souls remake???
