1.5 kind of makes sense. It holds Kingdom Hearts 1 and a remake of the GBA game that comes before Kingdom Hearts 2 (also comes with a the cutscenes of another game between 1 and 2). I guess they wanted to keep the naming similar because 2.5 comes with Kingdom Hearts 2 and...a prequel to every game... and a cutscene collection of some weird side game about an AI. They then released a bundle of both of these on PS4 which they named 1.5+2.5. 2.8 they were really scrambling. Because they wanted to release the rest of the games in some way before Kingdom Hearts 3 so that holds a sequel to Kingdom Hearts 2, A standalone demo for 3 and...a movie from the earliest part of the series that actually is a giant pit of questions with no answers which may or may not have been answered by the gacha. No idea.
This is such a fanboy opinion. Sony killed basically their entire Japanese Development, had 13 GaaS in development at the same time and actively are holding back the standard of Cross Save. They give plenty of reasons to not be the 'gamer' console. Especially now when they are also beginning to drop games on gamepass.
Ironically we still know of more single player games coming to Xbox then games coming to Sony outside of Spider-Man Leaks.
Fallout is currently the hottest game on the market thanks to the Show on top of this.
This really fucking sucks but damn stop trying to use this as a way to promote your team
The problem is they think Tyler Durden is cool? And that's it, they don't empathise with the narrators realization that Tyler is insane. That's just the what the plot of the movie thinks. Same as American Psycho but that's probably more crazy given the ending is him literally losing his mind
It was showcased in Sony State of Plays (what felt like) most of last year but it didn't really wow anyone from them other then existing Helldivers fans. Even if a game is what people want, someone has to play it first to spread the word. Among Us is a great example of that.
It isn't in the fact that it's not unbelievable. But there's clearly a lot of effort put into the game and it's fun with some enjoyable characters and allows you to be stupid. The Presentation has also made a CRPG that seems to look accessible to a larger fanbase so experiencing this choice is fresh to many people.
It's the same as Color balancing. The best solution often depends on the light balance of the room. Nothing stopping you from editing the theme to keep optimize out
Seems to me like FerryStones just fall to the old too-good-to use system. By the time I started running around vermund I quickly got to double digits quantities of FerryStones and never fell to single digits comfortably using them.
Not sure I totally agree. The idea of researching and applying addictive traits to anything feels like something to be regulated. It's not literally brainwashing but applying pressure to these topic can make anything positive into a negative. Even something like getting people to exercise could turn into someone collapsing if addictive qualities were applied.
So reading this, the patent isn't for an accessibility option to reduce the amount of dialogue by somethin like a necessity level but by in dialogue allowing you to pick an arbitrary option of say "get to the point" which is a lot worse than I was hoping
Additionally, don't copy and paste anything until you understand it. If you don't understand what code golf is being spewed, don't take the top answer. If you don't understand any answer, you probably don't understand the underlying systems well enough and need to re-evaluate what your asking for.
Part of me thinks this should be way easier to get right then Crash 4 but then part of me thinks the lack of hard restrictions probably makes this way more difficult
This is a slippery slope fallacy. Adding paid for cheats in single player games doesn't make pay to win more normalised if you have a sense of a moral limit. My limit is when game design is changed to account for microtransations. Shadow of Morder was horrible because the game was almost unplayable without it's boosters. Dragons Dogma is the same game.
If Elden Ring came out and had boosters I'd feel the same way. I'd ignore them and feel weird about people who used them. But it literally doesn't effect the game for me or my experience if they existed or didn't
No one was saying "no one would buy a game with these kinds of MTX" Skyrim was already out and wildly successful at that point and secondly the Skyrim horse Armor criticisms were amount Bethesda adding paid mods to get cuts of all mods which is a hugely different situation. When Diablo IV and Street Fighter created extremely overpriced costumes we laugh at them because it's stupid to assume anyone is going to buy them
Weirdly even if this was some vindictive way to get more overtime out of people, I believe studies suggest people who WFH are more likely to work overtime because it's less impeding and the barrier to look at work is less (I don't remember any studies off the top of my head). So I assume this is just a management problem as management are usually the people having trouble when it comes to WFH
It was the same in the first game where there were no micro transactions. 1-3 sounds correct from my memory. So in this case, it still feels like an additive.
I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven't touched the series beyond that, and haven't even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years....
Moving jobs I went from 1 meeting a week to multiple a day and all It has done is made me think my new job has no idea what is important priorities shift almost daily due to other meetings that I'm not a part of and nothing gets done properly because we dont have time to refine.
The goal should be to have as few meetings as possible because it means they are unnecessary. If you have a plan for your backlog set, you don't need to meet up for an hour every week to sort it out
Earlier this week an unnamed Tory minister told Sky News' deputy political editor, Sam Coates, they were "worried there might be peace in the Middle East" because the conflict in Gaza is perceived to be damaging the Labour Party's relationship with its voters....
You can't punish, only reward. Reward players who don't kick during a campaign with the premium credits, even if you need to adjust your shop values to make it feasible. It won't completely mitigate it and it may punish people who are actually getting trolled but one seems far more prevalent then the other and it should affect at least a small amount of the high players who want cosmetics and don't have the money to pay for them
While I agree that the above commented is in order. It does not lead the industry in all other things. They are pretty mixed with performance and their online is pretty awful in comparison to other options. Accessibility is an awkward choice of words since I expect you mean accessible to ages because it also has pretty bad accessibility options. While people often mock Sony for playing it safe with it's cinematic games it also feels like Nintendo's IPs have slowly been conglomeration into a mould over the switches life.
I would absolutely wait if that's the case. I spent two hours running in circles to find one-way forward. I've been told a map is being introduced in the future
Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?
I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?
There are some real complaints to be had. I think not liking the more realistic/explicit presentation of violence is fair. I think the visceral behaviour of games does make it a different experience to the same violence you'd see in a movie.
I also think disliking Neil Druckmann as a person is valid, he has some quotes that seem snobby.
Not enjoying cinematics games in general could also be an avenue for complaints but I think none of these are explicit complaints about tLoU2
Not all directors come across that way but signalling them as a visionary suggests some slight bias.
I also don't really understand what your trying to say above, isolating "preference" and "issues" doesn't really make sense since issues form from preference and art is not objective.
A Massively multiplayer online role playing game does not mean the game is a game as a service. It's a route of finance just like some shooting games are and some aren't.
No, there are asshole in all types of games including Single player. Even if Souls has multiplayer, I've seen toxic communities in even games like Breath of the Wild
No experience with games? Has she watched you play games, did she have favourites from those? Are there certain IPs she likes that would help?
My sister is now a casual gamer. The games that got her into it are Kingdom Hearts just via Disney branding and Uncharted (which she liked watching people play due to the Nathan Drake) which slid her to her favourite series Tomb Raider.
I recommend going that route instead of trying to find some weird fit since if she likes Harry Potter for example one of the best solutions regardless of the time you put in will be Hogwarts Legacy.

I'm playing Devil's Advocate here. How long is the notice up? In the past, I've played games and looked up ways to remove intro videos like logo splashscreens for games I play a decent amount of. If it's there for 5-10 seconds and I wanted to speedrun the game for example, I can imagine wanting to remove it without any bigotry.
Edit: if it can be disabled that destroys my point.
If you tried the customisation, it feels extremely bare bones in comparison to Tekken 7. So I wouldn't be surprised if stuff was removed to add to the Store.
The character customisation is pretty bad that's one reason. It's extremely rigid to the point you can't even change eye colour. Worse then 7',s even, without even comparing it fairly to Soul Calibur made by the same company. Basically or you can do is put a chapter in casual wear or find something kind of similar and colour the clothes in.
I liked the concept of Kakarot but boy was it full of filler. Other than that we've had a One Piece RPG which was supposedly alright and a Fairy Tail game which was supposedly alright. We had Dragon Ball Fighters which is one of the most visually impressive Dragon Ball games imo. And we had the Shounen Jump game which seemed like it was supposed to be a big deal anyway but wasn't great.
On a different note there's a Shin-chan and Doraemon game for something more low stakes.
