@nomither6 I agree. But still if you take this list, there are games where SP or MP heavily suffer. For example Diablo 3 is good as single (not as good as Diablo 2, but...) but multi it is only one huge visual noise, where you almost cannot orient. Mortal Kombat is extremely specific, because if you are not as fast as lightning you cannot stand in any MP match.
The rest I cannot say, because most of them I didn't play or avoided MP mode.

2/10

I played only Horizon for a few hours. The rest of these games wend around me. Still 2 hits is success.

Why I cannot choose "I don't like multiplayer" and also "I'm not fan of Horizon" ?

Ok, there will be lots of weirdos, who will try it just to see dozens thick norse redheads (I doubt there will be different playable characters) but I still don't think there is enough of them...

@nomither6 I squeezed my teeth to try to grab multiplayer trophies in Brotherhood to get platinum, but it was so boring I gave up. Singleplayer games shouldn't have multiplayer included, because for lots of people it is simply that part they won't play and trophy hunt is dead. They should be separated or optional. Lots of trophies are now unachievable because there is no one on server anymore. And from history it is known that multiplayer implementation into singleplayer games ruined whole experience of game because level design was heavily unbalanced for one or another side.

@nomither6 The last thing on earth Assassin's Creed need is multiplayer...

It is fun to see those, who cannot put sticks symmetrically, complain about place of button (btw try to press "-" button on Switch without moving left stick)

I think he feels depressed imagining milions of players are daily smashing X to the bottom.

It should be made opposite. Companies should open preorders and then produce specific amounts based on preorders. That would make initial chance to get that edition safe for all.

I dream of the day where Sony put down TLOU franchise. Yes, I'm maybe alone who don't care these games, but that humbuck around it start to be embarrassing.

@Veritas7Ax because they screwed it.

I don't know if 1% more from "wider audience" is worth for loosing 50% off from "normal audience" but they have to ask themselves. I think that main issue is Ubi lost focus of it's flag ship Assassin's Creed. Yes, lots will disagree, but when AC had overall story (Desmond, Abstergo) it was fuel for entire franchise. Now it is just random games, almost not connected together. And I completely lost any interrest in future AC games, because there is nothing to discover. And if you ask any player that jumped into series around AC Origins, they are unable to answer simple questions - Who are assassins? What is their purpose? Why is "this" game about exactly this timeline of "this" character? Why is there someone using "solarium" (animus) at the beginning of game?

I still don't understand why is it so big problem to give people choice to pick whatever character they want and forcing to give them woman IF they MUST include all DEI? It is only about changing few polygons.

I think Ubi is seriously thinking about reworking AC Shadows, or have serious fear of Grost 2. Yesterday's trailer of Ghosts 2 put whole Ubi into pocket even if main character is woman (again).

I'll definitely skip this. Character design is pretty ugly, close to Immortals of Avenum, and I actually didn't know who was villain here.

Never heard of these games, but they look good.

At least some normal game in whole State of Play. This and Soul Reaver saved the day.

I'll put Dead Space to library... that's all.

I'll skip this for sure.

When Sony announces:
"Pick one of these games for free!"
What will you pick?

yes yes yes. give it to me

@ATaco Scalpers have a job. They are robbing you of chance to buy something.

They should skip PS5 Pro and go directly to PS6. PS5 is huge chaos with almost no games (only remasters and GaaSes).

Answer these question to get this article seriously!
1) Are these statistics based on all games, or only those released both digitally and physically?
2) Do PS Plus monthly picks games include?

Wait until all of these games will be on sale for under £20 and than you can count millions of copies.

" One other tidbit worth noting is that an enormous 75% of the games sold in the UK this August were purchased digitally. "

Is this statement bases only on games that released both physically and digitally??? Or is it for all games sold???

@zebric21 unfortunately...

I can tell you where those $200M came from, but don't want to be banned again for truth. 🙂

Concord is slap to Sony's face from customers. If they don't LISTEN now, than we don't know what to do. Maybe stop supporting Sony at all... maybe we'll really see another fall of gaming industry.

1.3GB for a few repaired lines?

So if they don't like "another Concord" tag, we can call it "Concord 2"

I still don't see any else purpose to screw game stories with live actions except writers lack of self ideas.

1) SE will never be happy!
2) FF16 had good story, but everything was killed by real-time battles and too many effects. In most fights I barely oriented and those uber-mega fights were just one huge effect noise. Most of times I won just by random smashing buttons, because I didn't even know what is going on.
3) FF7 remakes pretty suffered from real-time battles too. One huge chaos. And I'll never get why they cut FF7 into three pieces? I won't play it until it is complete.

Don't know if there is connection, but my Vampire Survivors crashed right now. After 50 hours (total) first crash. Yes, I get to the point where my arsenal was huge so the screen was just flashing like crazy rainbow, but still...

...and Spotify normaly continued to play.

DS2 made me the most teeth squeezing to finish. I love DS1, I liked DS2 too, but - the hell - it was sooooooo loooooong... For action game it was ...ehhh... The most long action game I've ever finished and never want to replay it.

And I was wondering what that "Improved system quality and stability" updates mean...

@Deadlyblack rather play 2 or 3... Diablo 4 is fun for first walkthrough but than it has almost zero replayability.

Last cosmetics I bought were for Pain (ps3) until I realised it has no benefits for game. I was stupid to not recognize it for a first sight... until than I'm avoiding it precisely except cheap deluxe editions of older games that contain it.

I hope they left behind those responsible for character design in IoA, because they made the most ugly characters in gaming history.

Sorry Sony, but nothing is more fun, than building your own PC. Yes, it is tedious to setup Windows (especially 10 and 11) but a few hack to get access to options is not so much work.

I think PS5 Pro won't run anything in 4K 60fps. That's why they present AI (yes, damn AI) balancer for fps and graphics.

How to disable it completely?

It took me 3 years to use to absolutely chaotic unintuitive ps5 UI. I really don't need another obstacles...

I opted 499 because it is 627 actualy.

Am I the only one who feels anything faster than 30fps as artificial??? I played FF16 on performance for about a minute, but had to switch back to fidelity because I was feeling nausea...

I smell scalpers are making stockpiles...

To sell PS5 Pro over 13 mil. pieces is only possible if PS6 (2026) would cost around £1500 and have no backwards compatibility.

As ugly as other PS5s.

But for £50 per plate (all 4 pieces sold separately) you can buy black ones that a bit hides PS5 inside shelf.

I told few days ago Sony will tag it £1000. If you add basic accessories that should be included, but are sold separately I was not so far from truth...

I think this grandpa still believe that loaf of bread cost 10 cents.

I hope so. I didn't finished first one, because I recieved jump pack. I hope SM2 doesn't have jump packs...

Looks like Sony started it's plan B codename "Revenge for Concord" I expect PS5 Pro will be tagged with £1000 price.

@Savage_Joe Wait a minute, GoW creator is right, because it is sad to see Kratos as geront.

@get2sammyb I find a lot of good stuff for ZX Spectrum, but Arcade for example contain a lot of names I don't know simply because our country was behind iron curtain and there was little number of consoles and games smuggled to our country.
