Maybe it's not the best game of all time ....but it's still better than Binner Blade , HellDumpsters and Rise of the Seven 

says the guy who has played none of them  negatives of being a 40year old fanboy

Finished Baby Reindeer. Great show, eps4 onward have some amazing emotional high moments. Ep6 another highlight and the finale does a great job of truly brining heart to everything. Show honestly seems like the guy's personal therapy session. Very raw in many ways

I think someone needs to bump dumbo's 'So is Starfield the greatest game of all time' thread that he made prior to release because seeing SF talked about in the same breath as Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade is fucking hilarious 

Consolidation and retraction time after the explosion of growth from the pandemic where gaming businesses somehow expected that level of engagement forever. 

Also, everything is down, most economies in recession or artificially prevented ones. Most people simply have less disposable income.

Sony got a nearly 10 year old game

 

 

 

 

Also got games less than a year old  First party ones. 

But enjoy Humanity, hope you play it. It's good

As an outsider, American politics is always the closest things to sports fandom I have ever seen. 

Another note is this is a great sign for God of War which is also on Amazon. Have wayy more hope for it than Horizon on Netflix. Amazon have actually delivered on a lot of their adapted content; The Boys, Invincible, Fallout...

Shame MS fumbled so bad with the Halo show. Hopefully they do a Gears movie right. Just fucking give it to actual fans of the material.

We definitely are.  

 

We already know Sony has big ambitions for their IPs in this space.  MS undoubtedly too.

 

Nintendo are working on a Zelda live action movie too, right?  I could imagine if it's successful we could see a Zelda TV series.  I'm jus sayin 

The peak and beginning of the downfall will be when Nintendo finally do their Avengers and make a Smash Bros movie haha

Crazy and deserved! 

Are we actually entering the gaming era of TV shows/movies now that the comic book era has died down? Been very successful and good quality products made lately. Bodes well. 

Holy shit, PS is gonna get practically every MS first party but wait, Xbox is getting......*check notes* ... 'Humanity', a random 3rd party time console exclusive that launched day 1 on PS Extra. Holy shit TCHBO!

this could have been an amazing game if it had a rewind button. redoing everything from scratch = terrible design choice.

Yeah this is what eventually made me stop playing when the game got harder. The fast forward feature wasn't good enough. Shame cause it is a great modern Lemmings game. 

8 year beta test on xbox and PC for the true goat platform to get the best version  Thank you for testing.

Baby Reindeer Is bonkers  

Started this last night and we ended up watching half of it. Shit gets very heavy very quickly in ep 4.

Couldn't give less of a shit.

 

All that and still can't play the highest rated Meta game of the year (Rebirth) or the most current major game release (Stellar Blade) 

PC: Pay more to play later

Such a good game, goes a lot deeper than I'd ever expect given the premise.

Yeah this is the most impressive part. I'm probably over 15h in and it is still continually giving me new mechanics. They expand on such a simply gameplay loop so well. Honestly can't think of another game that drop feeds so much content and game elements like this.

As much as I enjoy the positives, the most telling thing for me is I just don't feel enthused to boot it up half the time.

Yeah this is basically where I fall with it too and I think that probably says a lot because there a plenty of games with faults that I'm still keen to jump into. It also wasn't holding my attention long when I did boot it up, felt the repetitiveness creep in after an hour or 2 of gameplay. Would always stop and put something else on. Think it sticks out even more having played it on either side of FFVII Rebirth and Dave the Diver which have both just sucked me in and are so fun to play. 

Atm I'm settling on it being a bit of a disappointment even with the cool things it's done. Feels like it already needs a sequel to truly refine it and turn it into something great but this is the sequel that was supposed to do that. 

Dave the Diver continues to exceed expectations. Having an absolute blast with it. Haven't touched DD2 since it came out

Playstation, home to Microsoft games  Phil truly ended the console wars

Doing better than I expected. Not too sure when I'll get around to it though, been too much stuff coming out on the Bangerstation 5 to keep up with

No one thought this would be the next big thing. Few gen’s away at least, if ever, vr sucks 

'Apple cuts shipments'

'Demand falls SHARPLY below expectations'

LMAO seems like Apple definitely thought it would do a lot better  

You sure have a different tune in this thread than the PSVR2 threads

I wish I could get into that game. It was one of my quickest steam refunds, I just found something about it to be really off putting.

I'd say give it another go man, especially if you gave it up very early. So many new gameplay elements get added like practically every game day that the game a few hours in isn't even close to what it is early on.

But it is still in essence the dive and shop loop, so that part does has to be fun for you to like it. 

Dave the Diver is an absolute banger. Loving it. Hard to explain but I'd say if you enjoyed something like Golf Story (imo Dave the Diver is already better) then you will like this. Different mechanics but very similar style of game where you have this core mechanic and loop with this story happening and more and more gameplay elements being added constantly. Can not recommend enough and that's based on like 3-4h. 

Played an hour or so of Dave the Diver and enjoying it so far. Has a cool little loop that constantly adds new elements and a cool little story.
