They didn't write alarmist columns about games putting kids in a "trance", games like GTA potentially transforming kids into serial killers and so on, lol.

There's not a high bar to be the best British newspaper when it comes to covering games. They just behaved responsibly and didn't use games to try scare their readers.

We've been in a pretty great era for TV for a while.

Why though? He's basically just saying there's going to be a bigger writing team (like you'd have for a TV show).

Yeah, this comment section is why I hate the internet. lol.

1) people moaning that ND's games are now going to be episodic (they're not).
2) people moaning about Neil even though he's bringing other writers in. People who dislike TLOU2 often say that Neil needed some pushback - here you go.

N4G should probably only enable the ability to leave a comment AFTER you've clicked the link

*"If quality is always proved by popularity, then Harmonix wouldn't be making music for Fortnite now."

Popularity isn't proof of quality. If it was, then Harmonix wouldn't be making music for Fortnite now. lol. Our disagreement wasn't over which one is more popular. Amplitude and Blitz just aren't "torture" to play.

Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live failed to revive their sub-genre, and Rock Band 4 caused Mad Catz to have to file for bankruptcy. Doesn't mean that instrument-based music games are bad.

It does mean that there&#...

"trying to make do in a way it was never meant to be played"

I disagree. The accessories were a fun gimmick (and very marketable) but they were added AFTER the genre had been well established with games like Frequency and Amplitude (both also made by Harmonix).

The gameplay formula is different on a controller - there's a focus on switching lanes and contributing to all of the instruments.

Never played Frequency, but Ampli...

Yeah, and a lot of the work is already done for them. They could use this emulator and improve upon it.

There's so many amazing games stranded on the PS3. I plugged back in my PS3 this week because I felt like playing Rock Band Blitz (before it goes offline next month) ... and my PS3 has died. :(

We had some good times, PS3. Gone but not forgotten.

It's made me more frustrated with PlayStation on this. People are paying for PS P...

Orchard, lad, you need to log off and enjoy Christmas.

The amount of comments you've posted in the last 24 hours is crazy (weeks worth).

The game was a flop. Fallout 4 sold 12 million copies in 24 hours. Fallout 76 sold a million copies in a week. It wasn't even close to meeting its sales expectations.

The 13.5 million isn't sales, it's players - the game is on both PS Plus and Gamepass.

Defending this game against valid criticism given the horrendous state in launched in is just weird.

This headline is slightly misleading.

75% of the comments formally made (just 2100) are in favour of it. That means that Xbox fans have been contacting the CMA much more.

It's not a true poll of what the public thinks.

They released an updated version a few months ago on PS5 and Series X | S.

It now seems to be a locked 60fps on the S. https://youtu.be/_ejE06fIh9...

We'll probably have to wait for a PS5 Pro to play this at a decent framerate. :(

It was never fixed on Series X either.

I've been enjoying PS Plus Essential more than PS Plus Extra, tbh (Mass Effect: Legendary Edition this month and Nioh 2 last month). Extra started off strong but I don't think they're focusing enough on the right things.

They should bring more games like Stray into the service (I think it was the most popular game on PS Plus overall this year). Imagine if they had Neon White day 1. They need more unique games like Metal: Hellsinger, Sifu, Kena, Hades, The Entrop...

The performance is ridiculously bad, so it really doesn't deserve a score this high.

@343_Guilty_Spark

Your comment doesn't even make any sense.

"The waiting game is what i have been playing all year. Waiting for 2023" means that there was nothing that the OP particularly enjoyed across the entire year, not just recently. Obviously, there's been games released throughout like Ragnorok, Forbidden West, Sifu, GT7, Stray, etc on PS5.

"I only care of my own criteria thats my definitive review." That's fine for a free upgrade, but I'm glad I didn't waste money on games like Anthem, GTA: Definitive Edition, Fallout 76, etc (I've since tried them).

Without reviews, we'd accidentally buy a lot of bad games which have good, flashy marketing. I remember reading gaming magazines at a young age (partly to get demo discs), and it helped me avoid buying a lot of terrible games and try...

You're right that the description should be fixed. It's pretty bad.

The 3 main PS5 bundles available are Ragnorok, FIFA 23 and Modern Warfare 2.

There's 2 FIFA 23 bundles, and they're very popular.
