It’s playable via Rare Replay, though still a bit rough around the edges. Absolutely avoid any other versions as the controls elsewhere are unusually unusable.

This game is hella fun, and on top of that it has tons of style.

The game featured a series of balance updates after its original release. It’s overall in a very good state right now. Not sure what you would expect.

This article is from like 2 years ago. Why is it being posted?

The actual new COD game is Black Ops 6.

Touch controls are better on the phone.

Personally, I prefer playing with buttons, but I’m old like that.

This game is great. Every new content drop is big, and they all get me to fire it back up for a couple of weeks.

Probably Enter the Gungeon, since it’s actually rendered in 3D even though it has a 2D presentation.

I almost always play games with subtitles on, but turning them off made this title even more immersive for me.

Funny you should mention that. They attempted to do precisely this (only buy the BP with real money) a few months ago. The player base revolted, and they walked it back to the way things were.

Apex battle passes have always given you enough credit to buy the next season’s pass. I’ve been playing since launch, I’ve completed all battle passes save for maybe 4, and I’ve spent a total of $10 on the game.

We’re all sick of live service games, and that’s why new (copycat) games are failing so hard. Look at XDefinant, Concord, etc.

Plenty of people have one or two live service games that they like/play, and the sustained success of those titles like Fortnite, Destiny, Apex Legends, Diablo IV is why we keep seeing so many clones and attempts to hit the next gold vein. But the creators of those copycat titles fail to capture the real source of others’ success; great gameplay.

I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t go the other direction and make this game free with a PS5 Pro purchase. It’s super old and the remaster could be a great tech demo.

I guess people will buy it anyways, so there we go.

For real. This is like saying that Project Gotham made Mario Kart feel like trash.

The article talks about this. tl;dr- very unlikely that’s what’s happening here

You’d think they learned their lesson re: that approach with the whole Halo Infinite mess, but here we are.

Is there any way to read Game Internet online now (archive or whatever)?
I’d really love to check out the Vampire Survivors interview from the final issue.

Confirmed. The gunplay is amazing. I haven’t played for a year or two but I would jump back in today if The Final Shape included all the catch-up/prior DLC packs.

Does Halo Infinite let players do this now? Or are you “only” able to run your own game/lobby on a dedicated cloud server?

Fuck that jump rope moon, though.

Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty. 100+ hours of pure joy. And when you need to take the edge off, you can always spend a nice evening with the love of your life.

Yeah, we won’t get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

Haven’t they ONLY made Destiny since Reach?

Does anyone have an alternative source where we can view the screenshots?

This was a surprise to me, too. I naturally assumed the author was referencing Phantom Liberty because, y’know… it’s fucking excellent.

What is this? An expansion? A standalone?

Hell yeah. Finally, some more Gears! Probably going to be a 2026 game, but it is what it is.

This looks really cool. A little James Bond (gadgets), a little Mirror’s Edge (1st person parkour), and then some classically wired Perfect Dark sci-fi-ish story. And it never hurts to be on Game Pass day one.

This didn’t even look like an Assassin’s Creed game when I first saw the trailer during the showcase today. That’s a good thing, btw. This almost feels like an actual fresh approach.

Yeah, people are totally sleeping on this game. It’s really good. Very immersive with fun modes, solid gunplay, responsive movement, and interesting gadgets. And the tourney structure is so good!

I’m a huge Halo fanboy and even I don’t need this.

An all-time great turnaround. Truly up there was No Man’s Sky’s resurrection from the dead. Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece now, especially with Phantom Liberty.

I really want to get back into this, but I fucking having to buy old, partially-sunset/vaulted to DLC packs on other to have full characters and locations.

I would buy Final Shape on day 1 if that purchase included all the old DLC packs. I need my stasis back, damn it.

Gotta have that crazy high engagement, broh. Engagement= $$, right??

Starfield can’t be fixed. The game’s issues are rooted in its core - procedurally generated maps, zero-consequence writing, forgettable gunplay. They could fix stuff like base building, giving it an actual purpose, for example. But in order to make exploration and role playing interesting/fun they’d have to effective make a whole new game.

I’m pumped for this game but I will never pay $30 to beta test anything.

Any clue how long it will take Switch players to get this patch?

Wow, this is a really horrible graph. Ars has no clue how to visually convey information.

Does Warzone’s DMZ mode fail at any of these?

This game will be $40 in 6 weeks and discounted to $25 during a summer sale.

Great review. This echoes my feelings as well.

Loop Hero feels like it’s on the precipice of being good, but the path to success with the gameplay loop is pretty hard to sus out. You do stuff, and it seems like you’re getting the pieces needed to progress, but then the game doesn’t really change at all.

Agreed that it’s fun in bursts. Worth playing for 10-20 min every few days. This isn’t like Enter the Gungeon or Slay the Spire, where you feel like you always need just one more run.
