Totally agree with this article. I've played games since space invaders hit the arcades when I was in my late teens. Always been mad for it and I worked two decades as a AAA dev. I've never had a bigger backlog and have played many games I consider to be exceptional this year.
If you are not finding great games you enjoy then you've fallen out of love with gaming...

Absolutely. Sinead O'Connor was beautiful. Vasqueze in Aliens was well fit...
Unfortunately those with a war drum to beat just looking for another target, it has nothing to do with games and everything to do with the US culture wars that are destroying their society.

I used to hang out with some stunning catwalk models in the mid 80s, several of whom were in music videos of the time. Every one of them was beautiful, and everyone of them had shaved hair, so they could wear the appropriate wig for whichever show or shoot was next..... This kind of discourse cracks me up...🤣

I liked Wukong, but I'm almost embarrassed to admit that. What a shower of pathetic sore losers. Astrobot was very clearly game of the year, and the 100 outlets from 30 countries who voted for the award made the correct choice.

I really liked it. Going in with low expectations, I was surprised to find a game I enjoyed. Traversal is a blast and I thought the combat was fun. The writing was a bit cringe in places, but I play games, it's a rare thing to get great writing and it didn't spoil it for me. I think plenty people will have more fun than they expect once they can try for free...but you need to get a couple of hours into it. If you can make it through that fud, your good!

I would love this! I Hhave a good pc but always use consoles instead, this could be the answer.

No problem with tech, but the entire game needs an overhaul much more than a graphical boost. Put some soul into it, make it less sterile.

Mine returned yesterday. Cashed in £15 immediately, bought some more credit with a %14 discount and picked up Star Wars Outlaws with it's 25% sale discount. Since the last huge update it runs like a dream on the pro! Happy days 😀

I agree, I'm playing and enjoying that game now, put in 106 hours already and had maybe 20 minutes of cringe dialogue. Like too many games these days, there was a narrative spread by many long before they had played it, and it had an old series to be compared to which it had moved on from. Taken in isolation and without those burdens, its a good 8/10 game and good fun.

Negative stalker reviews are because the game is full of bugs and unfinished poorly conceived game systems. Great games get great scores. Make a great game, not one that might be great in a years time..

You are writing your reply as if they intend to go through the game and replace his image. If you actually read the article, you will see they are simply cutting ties and ensuring they do not use his image in their marketing, and no longer making a single assassination available which was only available for a short time anyway.
This seems to me to be a valid way of protecting your brand and company image from association with a violent, rapist?
Such an action is a very long ...

Quite right too.

The Korean awards were limited to Korean developers only. Of course Stella won - I'll wager you couldn't name a single other game from a Korean developer this year!

No one needs these upgrades - the PS5 base is a great console with decent performance anyway.

However, if like me you prefer having the best performance you can on console, then the pro has been great. Even with old titles quickly patched there have been some great gains in performance on some titles, and I've loved the differences I've noted. The returns will only become better as new games come that have been balanced with the pro in mind and PSSR gets developed t...

Anyone saying 'nothing beats raw power' and suggesting native 4k is best has been living under a rock for years.
Dlss regularly constructs a better 4k image from a 1440 or 1080p render than a native render, that's just a simple fact. The days of native render being a relevant metric have disappeared.

Why? No one's forcing you to get one and all the games will run great on standard PS5.

Good luck playing with windows, installing drivers weekly, dealing with half dozen store fronts, and checking websites to get optimum settings every time you want a quick gaming session. It's an all digital market too, no physical.
I have a £2.5k pc rig, but hardly ever touch it for gaming. Couch console experience is absolutely miles better than fiddling with PCs, a...

This is such sad news. RIP.

I couldnt agree more. If romancing characters is your thing, you are served by many other titles. I find it all fluffy cringe and not what Im looking for,. Considering the legnths Baldurs Gate 3 went to properly reflect D&D rules and sentiments, it had no place being in that title either - its not part of the D&D world.

Fun game. Writing is a little clunky here and there, but decently acted. Its likely to be a 7/10 by the time I'm finished unless there are major curveballs. I'm glad I bought and played it. I have nothing but disgust for those who simply jumped on a hate bandwagon, but that's the net these days, anything to have a shout and moan.

Those that tried it and found it wasn't for them, I can see that. You at least have a real view informed by your own experiences. ...
