I realise the game is huge, but it has really come to something when patches to make a game work as desired are reported on like they are DLC or something.

I understand the commercial reasons for just needing to get a game out the door, but a “big patch 7” is pushing it a bit.

I’m interested in the game and will get it eventually, but this just makes me feel better about my decision to wait.

Hope everyone else is enjoying it though, and thanks for testing everything for me.

Goes to show people will play any old crap if it’s free. People seemingly just don’t value their time (or have far more of it free than I do at least).

lol, people playing already. I don’t even think I could read the 10 questions fully in 19 seconds let alone answer them all correctly. All a bit of fun of course.

@ATaco
I wouldn’t read too much into that. People get interrupted with life, or may need to think hard. Anyone who wants to cheat for whatever reason would just have a dummy run on an alt to get all the answers, then would run through it fast.

@VeldinX
Ok, then I’m claiming 6 lol.

I like the new format. My score was terrible. 5/10, with a couple of half guesses helping me along.

@Specky
The thing is, we gamers who made Playstation successful are simply no longer the biggest or most lucrative audience. Hence going after this rubbish.

Kingdom come deliverance, football manager 2024, job simulator and Jeanne d’arc. Haven’t played this many games simultaneously for a while, although FM is kind of just an ongoing thing

Says the company 20 times richer than their competitors combined, lol. What he means is MS don’t care enough about selling consoles as opposed to Gamepass.

@Carck
Pace has always dominated every FIFA game. But in 14 precision passing reigned supreme via the manual passing system utilising the right analogue stick. With enough skill you could feed the runners and lob the keeper from any angle. And it was skill, not this magnetic passing rubbish. In fact, players with enough skill were so dominant that, in FIFA 15, they had to artificially nerf precision, as well as adjust the bounce so over the top manual through balls were no longer viable to run onto.

The game needs a total overhaul. I tried playing the one on Plus when it was given away, after not playing since FIFA 14, and every single aspect of the game has regressed considerably. If this is just further refinement of a turd I’ll give it a miss.

Koi Koi: Love Blossoms finally on sale. Not quite at the right price for me yet though.

More challenges to tick off from the developer. Perfect. Can always do with that in older games.

I stopped reading at “cultural appropriation” 🙄 hate that concept, so divisive.

It is extremely strange to me of course, as I’ve grown up in a mixed country (UK) but if the more homogenous Chinese want to have that reflected in their game then who am I to demand otherwise? It’s their game world.

Now if it was spreading negative stereotypes of others then that’s a completely different thing worthy of condemnation, but they can put whomever they wish in their own game, and leave out whomever they wish.

And if anyone needs to know I’m not a person of colour so perhaps my opinion is irrelevant. I’m also part Chinese (well, Hong Kongese), so maybe worse than irrelevant. I don’t care.

Never played it as it wasn’t one of my launch games and it seemed to have flown under my radar. Still, always happy for a non bloated JRPG, especially with trophy challenges. Might give it a go between bigger games.

@tameshiyaku
Yes, with games like this and all the PSVR2 games I’m, for the first time, happy I upgraded

Yes!!! Definitely will be playing this now. Skipped PSP games generally as they lacked the entire trophy challenge metagame that so many other games enjoyed.

@get2sammyb
Depends. This isn’t live service, so in this case it just means they want me to hold on to the game while it loses value long after I would have already got rid of it, and likely until after I’ve generally lost interest and memory of what the hell was going. I much prefer to wait until everything is available.

Why would post release content convince me to preorder? If anything it would encourage me to wait.

@StrickenBiged
Oh, it’s internet connected? Sorry, that wasn’t clear lol.

Never having used one, can anyone explain to me why this even has a (colour!) display?

Starting kingdom come deliverance and continuing football manager 2024 I think.

@Ainu20
Whilst you are correct that nudity itself is not mature, the deliberate and irrational avoidance of nudity, or its censorship, is certainly immature.

I know I’ll get a lot of eye rolling for this, but are trophy challenges included?

Another psvr2 game in job simulator! Never got it on PSVR1 as it had room scale requirements and I didn’t have the space back then, but looking forward to trying it now.

Jeanne de arc also looks brilliant. Had a vita but no psp games as they lacked the entire trophy challenge metagame, so hopefully trophy challenges get added to this.

So they realise growing the userbase is no longer possible for them, and have pivoted to the “milk the existing player base to pay for the games given “free”” endgame. Glad Sony were not part of that.

Not working for me in UK (iOS). Never even got the updated notification.

In fact, I now don’t even have the symbol for it…I’ll take that as a positive sign change is coming.

Edit: it’s actually just invisible. I clicked on where it should be seen and it took me to everything now working. Plus it is now showing up. Seems all fixed.

Always nervous when they changed the greatest franchise of all time. The move to turn based, although I like it, hasn’t been a complete success for me. I enjoyed the older style more. Im hoping if it is a big departure it’ll just be some type of spin off.

The problem with these games is that they are designed to suck up all of your time, gate content behind Microtransactions to various degrees if you don’t want to spend a huge amount of time in the game, and engage in timed activities that make demands on when you play. All to keep you “engaged” over playing everything else. For me, no matter how good the game is, the opportunity cost is just too high.

I got Thornbreaker the Witcher Tales in the sale, so started that. I also got Kingdom Come Deliverance, but not sure if I’ll start that yet as I’m still playing Tales of Vesperia and Football Manager 2024…

@FuriousMachine

“ taking credit for other people’s work”
That is indeed *****. Can have a real impact on someone’s career, not just their feelings. That type of deceit is essentially theft from the company (your pay and bonuses are likely related to your output), not to mention theft from the person whose work you are claiming. I can see why they had to let him go in this case. Seems like a real sh**bag if true.

@LowDefAl
Fair enough. So what did the guy do to lose this job (and probably many others)? “Toxic behaviour” is about as vague as it gets as an accusation. Or do we have to wait until some evidence arises before we get details?

This isn’t that clear. Is it put on hold due to quality, or just because the star is getting cancelled for poor behaviour? Seems a waste if the latter.

@Michael2008ish
As someone who thinks the Yakuza series is the best ever made, and has platinumed every game in the series, including all available spin offs, other than Ishin, I would heavily suggest giving it a miss if you have any of the other ones to play.

To answer your question, it’s not turn based.

Kingdom Come Deliverance Royal Edition for £3.49. I keep going to buy it but my backlog is so large and it’s a very time consuming game.

Really interested in this. Cold steel one and two were great but switching from ps3 to 4 I lost the save for two and I’d already completed it once and didn’t want to have to do two more runs for the plat. That, along with it getting a bit repetitive, kind of soured me on continuing from 3.

This refresh could be just what I’ve been waiting for.

Makes sense to be open world, but why do I need to have others invade my space (and likely be always online)? Now if it was local split screen I’d be all for it, but that won’t happen.

@Yousef-
One of the best JRPGs ever made. But never finished it myself because of the 4th disc in paper envelope problem. I’d so love a port to PlayStation as I haven’t had an Xbox since 360 and the game is forever locked away from me.

Tales of vesperia and football manager 2024 I think. That’s if I don’t cave and buy something in the sales…

Edit: ok, so I got a couple of narrative games to kill some time in bed on the portal. Bear with Me Complete Edition and The Innsmouth Case. At £1.19 each I couldn’t resist.

All sales should be the lowest price ever. This whole practice of oscillating between two set prices is clear manipulation of the uninformed.

I’ll look through the lowest priced games. I do see that Grow: Song of the Evertree is down to £7.99. Not quite my impulse buy level but might consider.

If any in game or trophy challenges given by the developer incentivise additional playthroughs then I’m all for it. If it’s more like watching the same 20hr+ story again in order to just see some differently constructed dungeon environments then a hard pass, I’ve got too many other games to get to and not enough life to do so.

Not my type of game but, if I were to play them, I would like that we get regular narrative drops.

Looks like a first person Witcher to me. Which is great of course. Can’t tell much from a trailer like that apart from their intent though, so will keep an eye on it over the next few years I guess.

Enjoyed borderlands one with the wife but it became too bogged down later, no interest in social games so Among Is is out, that leaves hockey. I liked it on the mega drive but imagine it’s more like Ultimate Team these days…I’ll skip them thanks. Still Football Manager 24 is keeping me very entertained so I’m happy with my sub.

This doesn’t really explain anything. Main things for me would be whether he knew their age at the time and what the messages actually said.

Note I’ve never used or cared about Twitch, let alone something defunct like Whispers, so don’t know if this would be obvious to whoever this guy is.

Edit: I see she is 17, so that at least makes things a bit clearer. Although not sure if he knew this and thought she was younger (or older). Also not even sure of the age of consent were he is even if he did know. In most places it’s 16. Not that it isn’t still weird if he knew, but find it hard to consider him an actual paedo. That word is thrown around far too easily. I judge him more for the fact he was being unfaithful to his wife in this.

Also, does Twitch have adult and kids accounts? If so which did she have?

@anubisvel
It uses the quotation marks precisely to indicate it is, or may be, inaccurate. Why use the word at all then? To make the headline more click-baity I would think. News headlines do the same thing these days, which is particularly egregious when considering they know the level of grammatical understanding amongst the general population.

@LazyLombax
Yes. Fortunately the speedrun trophy has no clear time requirements (unless the whole mode has a time limit). I hate speedrun trophies.

Consensus is the hardest trophy will be defeating Priest without getting hit.

The rest seems pretty straightforward.

The moogle one and the white one i’d get if easily available. Strange why no mention of FF7-10 designs. For many of us these were our introduction to, and the pinnacle of, the series.

Strange. I think that it’s a fundamental part of all human life experience to look for a partner. Sure, there might be times in life when one is not actively looking, but should a situation arise, it is emotionally impossible to ignore irrespective of surrounding conditions. It may be that it was not what they wanted tonally for the story, which would be completely fair and right, but that’s not what they said.

Don’t care how good the game is, I refuse to give any money to these predators. If the story is good enough, and all the online rubbish can be ignored, I might get it second hand down the line. But T2 will never get any of my money. These guys are honestly worse than EA.
