Been hanging for a good tennis game for years. Loved Top Spin back in the day.

Farming Sim 22 and JW evolution 2 are good pick ups. Been interested in both but not enough to buy.

Isn't Among Us a dead fad already? This game was an also ran at around the same time and they expect people to care 2 years after the fact? Good luck with that.

Whoever said this us targeting September was dreaming.

It's such a shame that Fable still runs like trash.

Can't wait for this to come to consoles. Loved the first game.

Looking good. Definitely interested in Sniper Elite and Pac Man.

That's fair enough. Miyamoto quote about bad games and all that. Usually it might be a bit of a red flag but they delivered with Two Point Hospital so I'm confident they'll get the job done.

Is the game itself good outside of the issues the devs have addressed?

I was just thinking of starting a MLB career mode. Guess not. Can't believe they'd do this to me after only giving me 12 months to play it. Very inconsiderate!

Edit: just saw 22 is on Gamepass. Back in business! There's cricket too. Is it unaustralian to play MLB when cricket is available?

So expect the third game to be as poorly optimised as their previous games?

@TheSilverFalcon different subs.

@BigBigToe bingo.

Don't know if you can get much weaker than Gran Turismo 7...

People are complaining about PS+ and that has the best deck building game out, Slay the Spire.... Sony should show them this lol.

@GunValkyrian those "free" games are part of a paid subscription service. As in they're not "free" at all.

Wow, Rocket League style is putting it mildly. I'm a big fan of RL and don't mind a game of digital golf so I'll definitely give this a go.

A good one this time?

I would but whenever I download CAWs my save file currupts...

@GuyinPA75 It's Yukes funnily enough. The dev that made the games from Smackdown on PS1 through to the 2K games until they were dumped after 19 or 20. I don't think that would get in the way as to my knowledge they've just been contracted to develop the game for AEW. There's no publisher attached. It seems as though they wanted to get the ball rolling and didn't want to go the traditional route of finding a publisher to license their game. I'm not sure if it was simply to reduce the time it took to get a game out on consoles and expose their brand or if they also wanted more control than they might have with a traditional licensing deal or even are keen to self publish.

@JetmanUK Yeah, I don't see why they can't continue with their Yukes game and have that be a N64 AKI throwback and maybe be a bit cheaper and digital only and have 2K essentially re-skin their WWE game to be AEW and have that be their main AAA title with all the production values that entails. It could even benefit the Yukes game too as they might be able to share assets which takes a load off them.

If 2k are interested I think AEW would be fools not to strongly consider it. People want a good AEW game. There's no guarantee this Yukes game will deliver on any level and I have a suspicion that even if it's a solid game it won't meet a lot of fans expectations. I feel they have a much better shot at meeting expectations with 2k. They're not perfect but by the sounds of it they hit a decent level of quality with this latest game and an AEW version of that is bound to satisfy a larger demographic than I think the Yukes game will.

That's a shame given that it seems they made some really good progress with the latest game.

I wonder if 2k would be interested in a publishing deal with AEW if they do lose the WWE license.

Sounds like they might hit the mark next year. I guess going by a lot of the recent games these are pretty good scores though.

I'm not overly keen to pick this one up simply because I don't watch the current WWE product and they got rid of so many of the people on the roster that interest me there'd only be a handful of wrestlers I give af about. Will have to look at a full roster list and see.

Sounds rad. Will definitely pick it up on sale. Bit pricey, especially when you do the Australia tax conversion. Not overpriced given the amount of games and licensing they'd need to do, mind. Just more than I'm willing to pay.

Way to expensive. I'll just keep juggling the content I have installed when needed.

Noice. Love me some pacman.

"Lies ahead" is right...

@Blessed_Koz Oh, that sucks. I read a couple of the fan reviews that say scouting in franchise is broken as well. There was a similar issue in one of the recentish NHL games that was never fixed.

Idk why these sports games are so bad these days. You'd think the fact that they're rehashing the same game time after time would lead to better quality and polish overall. Apparently if it's not a part of the game that sells digital cards it just doesn't get any attention.

I mean, it'd want to launch next year or very close to it. It's been in development for ages.

Is Madden 22 as bad as the reviews on the Xbox store male it seem or is that mostly just (understandably) salty fans that buy the game every year?

That Baseball game is a bit of fun btw. It ain't The Show but that's what it's got going for it really. Fun and arcadey.

Who?

@Gr81 love the avatar!

Well now I still have no idea if it's worth giving it a shot. Awesome...

God forbid they differ in any way in their interpretation of the source material. What a travesty.

I just hope that I can muster the energy to feign to care about whatever the next faux outrage in the gaming news cycle is. It gets boring not having anything to shake my pitchfork at.

@isturbo1984 I'm usually a bit soft when it comes to hard games but I thought it was fine personally. It had its hard moments but nothing too bad and you were always back in the action pretty quick with the check points.

I think most "hard" games mostly come down to trial and error so really it's just a matter of if you find the gameplay loop compelling enough to go through the trials and learn from your errors. I found Cyber Shadow plenty compelling and pushed through. I really enjoyed that feeling of breezing through sections that used to be an ordeal after you had learned the level and gotten an upgrade or three. I also thought it felt much more like an idealised version of a NES game and did well at picking and choosing what modern qol features to add so it wasn't frustratingly old school. One of the better throwback games I've played.

I wish there was some kind of Euro Truck Simulator esque career mode in the game. Can't really get into the game without any real direction or in game progression personally.

I got the two Time Splitters games.

Hopefully Fable. Last time I tried to play Fable Anniversary on XBSX it ran horribly.

Why? Namco have two of the best fighting IP's in history. I'd much rather the next Tekken or Soul Calibre than a reboot of a MK wannabe.

I'm getting old. I don't know what anything is anymore and when people explain it I still don't understand...

The time keeps changing every day. This was already a "wait for reviews" game and this nonsense over game time has only reinforced that.

Didn't know RPG maker was so flexible...

Please don't call it Mass Effect 5....

I literally returned the sweet looking Forza Horizon 5 controller I got because it had this issue. Assumed it was hardware as my original controller that came with the XBSX was working fine... Oh well. I liked the look of it but didn't really need it.

Using a streamer yelling like an idiot in a trailer is a sure fire way to ensure that I won't even touch your game for free.

Awesome that ME is on Gamepass. Was just looking at it on PSN today as it was half off. Free is a much better deal!

Another half baked at launch fps that drip feeds a dozen DLC's over a few years that at some point feels like a full game but then you realise it actual cost way more and oh, they've also taken some of the content you paid for away?

Or do you think even they don't have the gall to do that 3 times in a row?

My body is ready.

Rare not being able to develop a game without dramas? That's new...

I swear these companies are beyond tone deaf. It's astounding to me that they had to actually publicy announce this nonsense and recieve massive backlash to figure out it isn't a good idea. The crypto dude bro in management that came up with the ridiculous idea should be fired.

Can you buy these digitally or do you have to get physical versions?

Glad I held off buying it.

Does Fable finally run well?
