Looking forward to checking out Metaphor, but my main interest is Silent Hill 2 Remake. I've long felt it would be good, despite the over-the-top hate. Of course, constructive criticism is important and it probably made this game better.
I made a conscious choice to wait for the PS5 Slim. I waited and I got one this year. I knew PS5 Pro was probably coming but I felt it would be too expensive. Sure enough! And in Canada? Forget about it.
I'm playing Star Wars Outlaws this weekend. The instant fail stealth missions were a bad direction, I think. Other than that and some smaller complaints, I think it's been pretty decent so far. Looks pretty good on PC!
From what I've read, you can sail your own ship and do ship combat? Okay, somehow I am even more excited for this than I was for Infinite Wealth, which is an awesome game!
I supported Sandrock in Early Access on Steam but was severely disappointed when they unified their rendering pipeline, resulting in a downgrade of the PC version. It was so pretty before. In any case, I look forward to seeing how Evershine develops.
I had been waiting for TDU: Solar Crown for years but the game appears unready for primetime, so I'm going to get the Dead Rising remaster. Looking forward to it!
Haha. This incident is one thing and I get that people like their fantasies but the worst is when people go around saying stuff like "put so and so on THIS and them on THAT." Maybe the developers don't want to make that stuff.
I have it on 360 so I don't really care to spend all that money on the remaster if it's only okay anyway. Maybe once it's a lot cheaper as I do appreciate bumps in performance and resolution.
That YouTuber and the community that made noise about this for months really made a difference. They may not have been able to change any laws, but they must have had an influence on the behavior of the company itself. Now I feel much more comfortable about owning these games!
I hope they get a chance to improve the game because it looks like it has potential. I've been waiting years for this game but I will wait longer if it means a much superior experience. Let's hope the servers stay up that long.
While I think the game has some major problems, I really enjoyed it and plan to go back to it to play Shattered Space and use the new vehicle. It's all paid for since launch.
I've been waiting for this since Hasbro mentioned their interest in bringing these games back! After Activision clarified that they had the code, I knew it was only a matter of time!
I just realized that this game scored extremely close to Jedi: Fallen Order. That one is well-regarded. Hopefully as the dust settles on Outlaws it will be thought well of.
Because of misleading marketing and unrealistic expectations of static/aging hardware, people will continue to complain about this. I mean, Microsoft misled people. Have you seen Mad Men? They lie! I'm not disappointed because I knew better, but for those that didn't, now you do.
I guess you can argue for performance over graphics but then there will be a huge contingent that will complain about graphics not getting better. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I wish realistic expectations were set for the beginning of this generation, but oh well.
It doesn't make any sense. I'm gonna wait for an update from Microsoft before I buy the remaining games I want. If they don't say or do anything about this then I'll just get Riddick and Crash Wrath of Cortex and call it there.
Ohhh no! I've already bought too much lol. Actually, if it turns out well, I'll have to get College Football 2025. We haven't had one from EA in 11 years and impressions so far are promising. We'll see.
I have it on my shelf. It's the greatest football game ever made. And you know what? It was only $20. EA just couldn't have that. We need greater competition in sports gaming.
I'd give them a C so far and say that the best thing has probably been FPS Boost and the continued support of backwards compatibility.
But I believe they're bound for a B or better through the rest of this generation due to all the big games they've got coming. They all have serious potential.
It's the one thing I wanted from the showcase that I didn't get. Well, that and Everwild. Anyway, I think it's easy money for everyone involved and the fans surely want it. I know I really want to play War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron on my Series X!
Although Elden Ring had a huge hype cycle (quite fairly) as well and sold many copies in part because of it, I have to wonder how many bounced off of it versus Witcher 3, which is a more accessible game. I don't know, I bounced off of both of them. I'd like to take on Witcher 3 and complete it and its DLC and then maybe retry Elden Ring.

Re: Opinion: As The Dust Settles On PS5 Pro, I'm Still Glad Xbox Didn't Bother

I subscribed to Ubisoft+ so I could play this one. The reviews are in the range of what I thought. A good game!

Re: BioWare Explains Why It Changed The Name Of Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 22-23)
That monster looks like Chris Hemsworth.
Re: The Witcher 3 Dev Concedes 'Best-Rated RPG DLC', Congratulates FromSoftware In The Process
