Doesn’t mean they didn’t market the game. That’s the whole point of the post

Goes to show what a few good IPs and an all-star legal team can do for you lol

That’s not marketing at all. Marketing is anything that creates awareness for your product. Early access and what the person you responded to stated is exactly that.

Marketing is not necessarily aggressive. Product placement is the prime example of this.

That’s cute coming from the game that was in early access for nearly 3 years.

Take two steps to the side and you’re safe

You mean New Vegas right? Cuz 3 was definitely made by Bethesda

Far Cry 3 is still one of my favorite games of all time

If you’re looking for something a lil more chill, Tchia is a BoTW-esque game that’s everything you like aside from FPS.

Also, if you want to play something older, check out Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. They are AAA, but they were made back when Bethesda actually had soul and vision.

PlayStation trophies and PlayStation friends.

If you read the article you’d know that it’s for cross platform progress of trophies and it also includes your PlayStation friends. Neither of which Steam does

It’ll be able to know when your draft-dodging ass is home, so it can send some nice FSB gentlemen to come give you a lift.

Can’t wait for BG&E 2!..

I’ll just keep playing Helldivers 2 pretending I’m a Clone Commando, thanks.

This is why Star Wars Force Unleashed will always be one of my favourite Star Wars works ever. They went absolutely nuts with it and said fuck the lore. Brilliant game.

So are ages of games like Warzone counted from the release of their first version, or is each iteration a new game?

I would have been hyped for this before the time of predatory microtransactions. Now I’m just bummed to see how shit it’ll be

Does anyone remember the PlayStation TV where you could have split screen and the active 3d glasses would only show you your own screen? That was so dope, I miss the golden age of gaming.

I remember back in the day copying my PS3 save file for fallout 3 and then running it through a hex editor so that I could pick up where I leftoff on PC lol

Eh. You can ride a lot more machines this time and the biomes are much more diverse. Other than that, it kinda lost its mystique when the plot twist was revealed at the end of the first game, the second game feels like it could (should) have been the final chapter in the first game. Still, graphics and art style are amazing and honestly worth playing just for that alone.

Yeah I was let down by Abzu. It was beautiful but didn’t have substance. You speak very highly of The Pathless, I’m excited to try it out. Thanks for the rec!

Oh good shout, I remember being intrigued by The Pathless when it came out but never got around to trying it!

Are Journey and Outer Wilds considered indie games?

I can’t name a first party PlayStation studio that misses. They’re just so consistently great it blows my mind.

Helldivers 2. It’s not violence when it’s justice, citizen.

LA Noire meet Cyberpunk meets Blade Runner meets Love Death & Robots: Pop Squad. I’m in.

I have a PS5 physical so I buy all my single player games second hand and then sell them for basically the same price. The only digital games I’ve bought have been Elden Ring, Helldivers, and Spiderman Miles Morales.

Anywhere on body: 110mm rocket pods*, railcannon strike, orbital laser, orbital precision strike*, 2 x EAT, Arc Thrower (20+ to body), flamethrower, Spear, might be others

Headshots: Arc Thrower seems to kill a charger in about 10-12 shots if you can land it on their face. The lightning is somewhat more accurate and reliable at medium ranges, so get some distance.

Front leg and then shoot exposed flesh: EAT, Recoilless Rifle, Railgun on Unsafe mode (4 shots to break),

When paused after a charge**: autocannon to backside of front leg, laser cannon to backside of front leg, impact grenade to backside of front leg, probably many others

*These stratagems seem to be sticky for some reason and I’ve had good success attaching them to the chargers as they pass or after they’ve stopped.

**Some people seem to think that this strategy takes advantage of a hitbox bug where the charger’s armor is temporarily reduced after their charge attack.

The Last of Us 1 has been the only game to ever make me emotional. It’s still the gold standard for what a video game is capable of in terms of narrative. The sequel was jarring, but not heart wrenching in the same way the first was.

Easy solution, just be the host

Played today. The buffs are not nearly enough.

Depends, what did you think about the base game? For myself, I wouldn’t play it even if it was free. I platinumed Elden Ring and by the end of it, I was so fatigued from the FromSoft formula that the next and last game I’ll play from them will be the Bloodborne remake.

I bought Helldivers 2 for less than the ER DLC. And I’m having way more fun.

unless progression allows you to unlock items that are real world currency based on which I could see why they’d want to stop people from accessing it without one of their two methods

This is the reason I believe. There’s a premium season pass that has some later game unlocks which they probably want to incentivize. That, and there’s a meta-game that depends on the community making concerted efforts to progress the story. I’m assuming that they don’t want a modder to unbalance that.

First time I’m hearing of this game. I think big publishers are going to realize soon that while the gaming market is big, the attention span of gamers is narrow. They just don’t have it in them to buy 4 or 5 big games a year when every game seems to be a live service, battlepass infused time sink.

Give us a Black Flag remake you cowards.

Better yet, if someone just makes a Nvidia RTXRemixflexremasterDLSSqwertyuiop mod for the damn game we could drop Ubisoft altogether.

They just had to remake Black Flag for next gen and PC with all the bells and whistles, and they would have sold fuckloads.

Literally nobody asked for this game lol. We wanted Black Flag 2, not World of Warships 1680

What kinda toilet-brewed crack are their courts smoking? How is being against warfare discounted because you like competitive video game lmfao? So can you be charged with reckless driving just because you play Mario Kart?

TLoU1 was that game for me. Way too heavy to play again

Ah I see, thanks!
