I'm dying for ANY news on this game. Hitman is great but I don't expect the JB game to be like it, because it would work better as a more linear experience divided by "stages". Looking forward to more info.
Nice collection for the best videogame franchise. The master books and other extras are a must for the fans. I would have liked it to come with a launcher for all the games and content though. Can't wait for Vol. 2!
Starfield is a ~2000hs game. We can review it, talk about it, ignore it, hate it, but it will be around for years and it will only keep getting better.
This is actually great news for everyone. Paradox can focus on what it does best (average to great strategy games riddled with DLCs). HBS can look for another publisher to start clean. We hopefully get more quality games like Lamplighter's League with more technical polish and better marketing.
@fabisputza007 +7 hours. I tried to like it, and some of the map design was actually good, but I found a lot of negatives: -The loop gimmick gets old fast, and the whole game heavily relies on it -For obvious reasons the enemies are repetitive but it wouldn't be an issue if the next point wasn't true -The AI sucks, you can tell right away that it's worse than Dishonored especially while going for stealth -Awful menus and UI design
The shooting is the only serviceable feature, and I had some fun during MP invasions but that's it.
@fabisputza007 Big fan of Arkane too, I haven't touched Redfall because the theme itself plus being MP never clicked with me. Let me add that Deathloop sucked so hard it's insane how they kinda got away with it. I hope that Dishonored 3 delivers, but for that to happen Arkane needs some "reestructuring" done.
Quite a few: -Singularity sequel and/or remaster -Resurrect Tenchu via remasters and/or a reboot (I know Sekiro exists but it's not the same) -True Crime remakes -Starcraft console ports -Completely change the Hearthstone monetization model to mimic the one used in Legends of Runeterra + a console port -Concede world domination to Team Fortress 2 and switch the direction for Overwatch to the thing that was always meant to be: a series of full feature films -Reboot Crash and make something new with it, I never cared for its games Finally, official confirmation that every new ActiBlizz release from now on will be Day 1 in Gamepass.
No, the future is digital. I know there are still a LOT of people who prefer physical, but the reality is that we are already in a generation of transition to full digital. What I would really like from the big 3 are better solutions for retrocompatibility and game preservation.
Personally, I doubt the sincerity of their statement. Paradox would like to keep publishing DLC heavy games rather than new IPs or more traditional single player games like Lamplighter's League.
I'm laughing at the title. I mean it IS accurate because Xbox did this first, but to say PSPlus "joined" Gamepass is putting it too lightly. The price increase for GP was, what, less than 5 dollars? But what PS is doing is just too much.
Playing the final chapters of LAD: Ishin and I have a couple of substories left too, fantastic game. I started Atomic Heart but I'll wait for a patch that fixes the VERY small subtitles.

Scorn was good but it needed more content.
I wish the rest of the game had more choice in the puzzles, like the very first one.
