It is kind of sad that they keep rehashing these old games over and over.

You are so right! I used to get high end phones when they were around €600. Now I had to think twice to get a €350 Nothing phone 3a. I fail to see what people see in 1000+ phones, honestly.

I liked a lot the previous one, and the demo for this felt solid with only some minor technical issues that I hope have been ironed out. Will be getting it.

I see, thank you!

Been out of the loop lately, how much time does it takes them on average to crack a new released game?

It depends on the mood. Sometimes I just feel like playing something and I don’t want history or cutscenes getting in the way, just gimme a good gameplay loop that is easy to get into and hard to master. Other times I’m looking for immersion, do not mistake with just some good history, it’s a mix of the right settings, art style, sound atmosphere and storytelling. Your example of Clair Obscur is the perfect example for this type of games and it also has incredible gameplay on top of it.

Too bad it has forced 21:9 aspect ratio, will wait until I get a 21:9 monitor then, because the demo was good.

Any kind of subscription is just a trap for everyone involved in it except for the ones setting it up. It might not look like that at the beginning but rest assured that is it only purpose. Avoid it at all cost!

Incredible good game, even if it is currently only half finished. Can’t wait for 1.0 to come out!

The sheep gotta be ready for the slaughterhouse right?

Played the demo and, although it was a little too easy it was VERY fun.

Oh, that’s great, downloading when I get home. Thanks for the heads up!

Just watched the trailer albeit without sound and had the impression it was a rhythm brawler, hope is not the case as I’m very bad at rhythm.

I love Game Native, i also keep Game hub Lite for those cases where GN doesn’t work (controller issues most of the time)

Looking forward to this game as I loved the previous one but not very confident in the outcome because all the shit goin on within the industry.

I played the demo and didn’t liked it. While the 3D made it looks gorgeous, it also made it very difficulty for me to calibrate distances and so on, dying a lot because the 3D not the game’s difficulty.

So, in other words, they’ll have 300 million less sales in the next 3 years. Because, let’s face it, the only reason they went PC is because they don’t have grown room with the PS brand alone, otherwise, Playstation being more profitable it would have been their only choice so far.

Try to get into this game when it was on game pass but, god, it was so boring and generic.

This would be neat if you didn’t lost 90% of your FPS in the process.

I don’t care if it is the fucking Half Life 3 in the flesh. If a game uses some short of AI I will never buy it.

Does the base game have improved since it launched? I played for 8 hours at Game pass around 4-5 months after launch and had to stop playing because it was so broken. Game looked interesting but performance was ridiculously bad, NPC would span out of thin air, regular foes were bullet sponges, there were situation with infinite enemy respawn, etc.

We just started using it a couple of weeks ago, I’m expecting this very same scenario.

Yeah, i know, I also don’t care about them but they are funny little statistical facts, like “only 20% of the people that played this game beated the tutorial” or “45% of the players didn’t play past the first chapter”.

I see your squeezing through cracks and raise a long press a button to do an action. Jesus, if the action needs a certain amount of time to complete, and 99% of times it doesn’t, just make a freaking animation while at it instead of making me press a damn button for 2 seconds.

So that’s why almost nobody finish their games, according to Steam achievements?

You are forgetting the €5000 graphic card you’ll need to access these coveted features.

Late stage capitalism.

It was a matter time for AI slop to came to videogames. But the solution is rather easy, just don’t buy those games.

That’s the idea, but you need to pay for the game first so that MS can enjoy it.

He, i couldn’t play on my PS4 at night because it sounded like a hair dryer at max power. Fully disassembling, cleaning and repasting will fix it for a couple of weeks, maybe three, then a jet engine again. My PC is dead quiet.

I mean, if the whole industry came to a stop tomorrow we still have hundreds of great (I’m talking about 8-10/10 games, not just good ones) games. And that is without resorting to emulation or replaying games.

The game has Denuvo, for anyone interested.

Tried the demo and it was kinda meh. The few action parts where rather static and too many interruptions in the form of “do this, do that” made it worse. Maybe the vertical slice they choose for the demo was bad but, just in case, I removed it from my wishlist for the time being.

They are marketing shenanigans, they always have been. Those who care about them are the people who are sensible to such marketing tactics.

Not a dev myself but at my workplace we have a big AF signal reading: “DO NOT PUSH TO PROD ON FRIDAY”.

“accidentally”

They won’t sell more consoles because of this decision and they won’t get the PC money either. As for me, I’m fine with it. Better developers and published have fallen so far and yet we still have great games to play.

Marathon next? Place your bets ladies and gentlemen!

Because no one pirate OSs, right?

I like playing Sony games on PC from time to time but it they don’t release anything more on PC that is OK too, I have plenty of other stuff to play anyway.
