Elden Ring sells 20m units and they’re not an AAA dev :lol:
In terms of budget they've probably just become a AAA dev. Dont think Dark Souls is an obvious fit for AAA for instance.
I mean forgetting that they're making better stuff than anyone else at the moment, whatever the budget.

I've not even bothered reading the last three pages of the other thread so that Elden Ring post confused the hell out of me.
You dont need to worry about it. Its definitely all on topic. You should just skip it really.

Started playing RDR2 again after a few years, played it last on the PS4 and couldn't get into it. Loving it right now playing with a slower approach. The world is just incredible and stuff just seem to keep happening that just feels natural.

I also started playing it again but despite still being in awe of certain things and the world, I couldn't get properly into it. Maybe it's just because I've done it before or beause Rockstar games involve an incredible amount of talking but after doing some missions, riding around hunting, fecking about a bit I lost interest after a couple days.

I did the same about a month ago.

Beautiful world and I can easily get lost exploring it all. But I had no urge to replay the story. My first play through had such a profound effect on me at the time as I'd just lost my dad so I didn't want to ruin that memory.

Have they patched 60fps yet?

Was going to download a couple of games from PS Plus just to tie me over till the new Spider-Man releases later this year (well hopefully). Does anyone know how you can find out when a particular game or two is going to be getting removed from the PS Plus library? Don’t want to download a game and then it ends up being removed before you’ve had the chance to finish it or even if you fancied - trying to platinum it.

Why are there so many remakes with games these days? Last of Us, Spiderman, Witcher etc etc.
Because we now live in a society where the majority of people can’t even handle YouTube videos and need YouTube Shorts. And need full movie trailers to have mini trailers at the start of them. So a new idea is a risk now. Give everyone the same thing because you know they like it.

Yeah let’s make something once and never improve on it
Yes please if the only improvements are going to be slightly better graphics and a few quality of life updates. Or just offer it to people for £10 instead of charging them for a full game they already own.

Seriously guys, Chivalry 2 is a great game. Combat is great fun, you dont feel overly short changed when you die (looking at you COD), and it isn't taking itself too seriously.

Kill shit innit!

Basically there are different classes archers, knights etc. You go up a general ranking and also ranking against the class you play as and unlock more weapons (crossbows, sledge hammers, etc).

You unlock currency that you can use to buy comestic stuff. It is pretty standard to be honest.

I enjoyed it a lot tbh, I get some of the criticisms and others I don't get... but none of them affected me. Great game

In other news, the £70 game RRP experiment is failing....




My feelings are. Yes, AAA games are more expensive to develop. But the market has never been bigger. Playing video games used to be a boys thing. Now everyone buys and plays video games and rake in higher profits than ever. Also it makes no sense that a game cost 30 pounds on PC but around 60 on the ps5. As usual its just people trying to change the status quo to make more money. They have never made more than they have in the last decade.

To be honest these games just aren’t for me.

From here to there
either played them or added them to my library. This will all be forgotten within a week. How is it much different to getting a limited time bonus on any other product. Their only error was probably not making it clear up front that it would go away at some point. It's been available nearly 3 years and it only is a negative to someone buying a PS5 now. Surely those who most wanted one have one already?

A guy from work told me about this last Thursday, going to pick it up when I get paid.

Anyone seen about how the new Metal Gear/Silent Hill/Castlevania games will be PlayStation exclusive?

Yeah second this. Not a game i'd have paid for but it's just a lot of fun. I've found I enjoy it more the better I've got as well because there's a quite an organic growth to it. When you get in a good duel with people its ace.

This. Its great fun and feels really refreshing compared to the million clones of military shooters there is on the market. And the bolded part is so true. Maybe i've yelled a few times at my TV when some fecker stabed me in the arse or i got impaed by some coward on a balista, but the frustration levels are significantly lower with this compared to many other online games

Yes guys! :D it's a great game and you just naturally get better at duels. Play 3v3 to practice to avoid someone stabbing you in the bum.

I find myself laughing most of the time and when I die it's my own fault for running into a group of 3 or so enemies like an idiot.

PS5 VR is expected to go on sale in stores this week. I asked at the weekend in a store if they were going to be stocking the PSVR and they said they hope to start selling them on the 12th.

Christ God of War is annoying (first one on PS4). The combat is great but I feel like I spend 90% of my time pissing about doing something like looking for a blue crystal to shoot a magic arrow at to open a fecking door. It's not a puzzle, which ideally provide a sense of achievement. It feels like it's a way to slow the player down which I get, I just would like to feel like I'm not wasting my time doing boring stuff often.
