The game description has spelling mistakes, bad grammar and the prose is just bad fanfic. The picture of the customer account says to deliver to Pakistan. The website TheNerdMag's second largest audience, according to Alexa, is India. My suspicion is that whilst the game is real, this Amazon posting is fake.

Fallout '76 doesn't have cross-play - because Bethesda have CHOSEN to not put it in, Peter Hines said this himself!
The experience of The Elder Scrolls Online is not diminished by no cross-play and I suspect it is not a priority for Bethesda.

But this is an example of why games 'journalists' need to have a proper journalism training, so they understanding about why they should avoid projecting their own opinions, (this sounds like a rant) and also ...

It looks like a plastic Action Man toy gazing at the ceiling.

@SyntheticForm. It's not at all like you see it. I'm not talking about only watching content from YouTubers who share your opinion. Rather there has been a big disparity between the established games media and the public on this one - and that it's definitely worthy of discussion!

Days Gone gets a 5! That's the score of a broken game and it certainly isn't that. To me it shows that at these review events the 'journos' take a stance and consult and consider irrelevant factors. Because the public who have played the game have a vastly different idea of how good it is and they are generally putting it in the 7-8 category.

My advice, find yourself a good YouTuber who's opinion you trust as you will get a lot closer to honesty with ...

The Express - NO. No understanding, no insights, no intelligence!

The PS4 is already more powerful than the Switch so rush releasing an even more PlayStation is not going to help. Quite simply Nintendo has first party licenses that really resonate with the Japanese as does the form factor. The PlayStation is still selling great.

He doesn't understand that Sony is making a profit there - somebody give him a job at Polygon.com.

The media should not take the stance that open world automatically means good and non-open world means bad.
Yes an immersive open world game can be brilliant, but an empty world can be boring. Likewise linear games, or semi-linear games can be more involving, eg God of War.

I read this as Outer Worlds release date is next week.

So Nintendo will dominate the West Hall, with Sega and Facebook's Oculus also having fairly sizeable booths.
In the South Hall Bethesda, Ubisoft, Epic and Square Enix with, approximately, similar sized booths. Capcom also has a presence. It does seem strange without Sony, Microsoft or EA on the floor.

No Sony means Microsoft doesn't have to fight to get exclusive reveals of third-party games. A meaty Halo Infinite demo, Cyberpunk demo and a reveal of Xbox ...

The game looks great and including 100+ levels is excellent value. But I wonder, because there will be so many fan-made levels does this kill-off any likelihood of Nintendo making another 2D Mario game in the next five years or so?

As articles go, this one is complete b******s!
He basically says expert reviewers can see the game is generic but because the public are less demanding and are less critical, they are enjoying it - but this comes from ignorance! He is dismissive of the the fact that the public are appreciating the game because they don't have the hive mentality of the games media!

Considering it was released 3 1/2 years after the PS4 that's pretty incredible. It shows that Nintendo or the portable form-factor, has a very special place in the hearts of the Japanese.

Where he says "close out" I think it means to complete development. There are quite a few positions listed so I don't think it means they are quite at the finish line. I suspect this will be finished Q2 next year with loads of play testing. If Sony have any sense they will release it the same time as PS5.

That picture of the Mass Effect asari crying perfectly echoes the headline!

"I thought that portrayal of Luke Skywalker was very weak. I thought they gave him a scapegoat role that wasn’t merited and didn’t fit with his character, in my opinion."

This sentiment is widely held.

WHAT IF - Nintendo allow Microsoft to add achievements to their (Nintendo's) first-party games such as Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild - would you want that?

I haven't played the game yet so can't make my own comment on the quality; but from normal gamers on forums they're saying it's a good, not great, game with lovely graphics. But some of the mainstream gaming press are dog-piling in like it's the worst game around.

The original Xbox One console lost the PR war because Microsoft wanted it to be an all-in-one machine with a focus on multimedia. The reason PS4 resonated so much at its reveal and first E3 was because of the games first philosophy. ‘4 the Players’ wasn’t just marketing, it was a statement of intent.

I didn't know that Mahjong was gambling. It's a shame if China do ban this because, from my limited knowledge of the country, many people there play it every day on real mahjong tables so it's a bit weird to ban the computer game versions of it.

Whilst I hope I live long enough to play Star Citizen I have to say this headline made me laugh! It's like Peter Molyneux giving Sean Murray advice on how not to over-promise!
