That’s crazy numbers for Dragon Quest but they’re beyond huge over there. Great to see.

@Drago201 These platforms grow exponentially. If more leave Twitter then eventually it’ll take off. Seems to have made way more of an impact than Threads did. Musk being a giant f**king loser literally every day of his pathetic existence does tend to be a motivator.

@Drago201 People are moving. Not for me, it’s corny as hell, but there’s enough people and businesses going for it to make sense. Someone has to be the first to announce things on another platform after all.

I just had zero interest in it. Nothing it did seemed to stand out in any way.

The fact it’s even released is impressive given the circumstances. Besides, wanting a STALKER game to be polished is a fool’s errand, the fact remains that the ideas and atmosphere are miles ahead of games with far more polish.

RIP. To be fair basically all Namco games I’ve played with an online element has had that mode be dreadful and suffer with all sorts of outages and lag.

This has to be some sort of tax thing surely.

I wonder if this is actually required through Japanese classification systems, due to the very real problem of sexual harassment in Japan and upskirting specifically.

@DennisReynolds That’s not the point at all. Why advertise future-proofing if it’s utter sh*te? That’s like the PS2 having massive HD ready stickers all over it in 2000 even though it’s technically not a lie because Gran Turismo 4, Jackass the Game, Tourist Trophy and Valkyrie Profile 2 could output at 1080i.

I love that my base console’s box has a big 8K logo on it despite I think The Touryst being the only 8K game on the entire console.

@zupertramp Didn’t even think about that, must have been possible all along. Makes you wonder why they’ve waited until now!

@MrPeanutbutterz Aren’t we glad that “I meant gay as an insult” isn’t grounds enough for mods to get involved. Jesus wept, it’s not the 90s anymore.

….this couldn’t already do this?

I really should play this. Played Underground 1 and 2 and Most Wanted 2005 over the last couple years and they hold up brilliantly.

@wildcat_kickz I really admire a lot of what Unity does but the online balancing holds it back a lot. It’s like a glimpse into a future that never really came to pass but I love elements of it that haven’t been matched. I’d totally go for the platinum if it got patched.

Oh my god it’s glorious. Tried the 4K 60FPS and it looks and runs beautifully. Still got pop in and shimmering (they’d have to basically fix the underlying issues in a whole remaster) but it feels brilliant now to play, makes the combat automatically better too with the timing much snappier. Genuinely i think a lot of people should go back to this one, like a nice bowl of comfort food despite the jank and now it’s not held back technically.

Should be higher than 13, possibly 16 or 18 depending on what’s legally declared as a minor in each country. They’ll have their pals on other platforms already and I’d honestly say that 13-16 was the main age group targeted when it comes to groomers, it’s a truly horrible time full of self-doubt and confusion which is very easily exploited by these people. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy, create a platform popular with kids and the nonces will flock too, you have to make sure your platform’s secure. Parents play a part but platform holders need to be held responsible, it’s horrifying how few steps it would take to be in a minor’s inbox.

Honestly not a game I’ve replayed once. While 2 is massively divisive, I’d say that it at least doesn’t feel as safe as 3 can feel, despite it obviously being a fantastic game.

Being the best of a slow year doesn’t mean it’s not a slow year.

@Areus Cave to Rhone is evil.

People getting annoyed at Geoff over this of all things is the funny part.

Difficulty in a game? A lack of handholding? God forbid.

Balatro for the win. The most pure, distilled, fun game I’ve played in years. Immaculately designed.

Yes. If the game’s interesting then I don’t mind if it’s janky.

Hooray, my mum bounced off this one but maybe I can get her to try again, that’s what i did years after launch and thought it was bloody good.

I want this so badly but not badly enough to actually get PSVR2.

They’re parasites, injecting cash to generate false hope in their acquired devs only to f*ck up when the $2 billion Saudi blood money deal fell through and now good people are being screwed over.

@__jamiie If you’ve spent £700-£800 on a console and everything isn’t handed to you on a silver platter then it’s no surprise that you’d be pissed off: I’m anti Pro in general but this is a legitimate issue that makes the entire very expensive endeavour pointless if the game looks worse on the Pro.

@nhSnork It’s janky but I’ve played worse, a LOT worse.

Scummy behaviour as per.

@B0udoir Possibly just you, we all have different tastes but an awful lot of people are going back to it, me included, and being astounded at just how good it really is and how well it holds up!

@BusyOlf It’s crazy to me that Switch gets Portal and PS doesn’t. They’re brilliant games and I do actually own the PS3 version of Portal 2!

@MrPeanutbutterz Come on, that’s like having articles about the anniversary of Command and Conquer on here. Nobody thinks of the PlayStation version when it comes to these sorts of PC releases.

Christ, that’s a loose link to Playstation. Forgot it was even on PS3.

I quite like the content added to the Layla trilogy, an extra currency that you earn from doing daily content separate to the main game and can be spent on nice looking armour and weapons and stuff, nothing game breaking but sits nicely alongside the base game.

It’s such a slap in the face to those of us that supported the base model and have yet to see enough from Sony to justify even upgrading from a PS4 Pro. Downright disrespectful to immediately go from cross-gen games to selling us a version that will run new games ‘properly’.

Take Haze’s name out of your GODDAMN MOUTH

I love how excited we get over basic emulation options that have existed for 15 years. Shows how dire official PS2 emulation has been.

She was never a very strong actress and she’d have to bulk up an awful lot to carry this. I’d personally rather somebody more muscular, Lara Croft runs and jumps enough to make her look more like one of the Gladiators than a model.

Pope wins Vatican City Man of the Year Award

@DonJorginho Screenshotting for posterity. Good luck.

@IntrepidWombat My favourite thing about the anti-woke crowd is the delusion required to pretend that Gina Carano was ever a good actress.

Super excited for this one. Rebellion are talented and the setting’s intriguing.

There’s only two real games, a VR tech demo and a Lego spin-off and yet the series feels like it’s become fast food.

Didn’t this guy develop Abandoned?

Jessie J? What year is it?

@Jey887 I didn’t even get into the Sistine Chapel when I went. Line was too long. At least I managed to see the mummified Popesicles in glass coffins.

FemShep > BroShep any day of the week. Both are good but BroShep’s incredibly awkward delivery is unintentionally hilarious at times and just wouldn’t translate to TV. FemShep would be a better outcome for a potential show.

@RoomWithaMoose Ah but pointing this out is ‘unconstructive’. Who cares about facts when you can slander striking workers? I’m so thankful for all those billionaires who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and weren’t handed a small loan of a million dollars or profited from their father’s apartheid emerald mine.
