Yeah I’m not sure why PS5 owners should be consider it “bleak” or care at all that there isn’t some massive amount of exclusives coming out. I don’t actually think anyone who has already made a console/platform purchase decision cares about how many games their platform gets that nobody else does. I have a PS5 and a Switch which means I can play pretty much all the games I would want to play outside of a couple exceptions (which is totally fine).

That said, I’m really looking forward to Death Stranding 2.

Far and away the best game trailer/showcase I've seen in 2024. They knocked it out the park IMO.

I loved Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike on Genesis and I'm excited for this spiritual successor.

I'm damn excited for the MvC Collection. Pretty awesome they managed to put this together especially after the gongshow with MvC2 disappearing and the campaign to try to bring it back 3 years ago. Definitely a physical copy purchase just like their Brawler/Street Fighter 30th/fighting collections.

Photon posted a gameplay trailer what feels like years ago now for Black Myth: Wukong and it’s finally coming out this August! Fired up for that one

Very cool, 60fps @ 900p pretty impressive for tech from 2017. Getting hard Halo vibes here, that "Space Pirate" looks so much like an elite it is uncanny.

Lol sure man, heavy Halo vibes from Metroid Prime. Xbox fans just don't take a break these days trying to convince themselves everything is still awesome.

It reminds me of older Halo games like Halo 3/4. Let's remember that Halo:CE came out a year before Metroid Prime. I know Metroid predates Halo, but it's villains never resembled Halo enemies during the 2D years.

I understand you may not have fond memories of Halo CE to Halo 4 considering your dislike of violent shooter games. But watching the announcement just brought me back to those days playing Halo 3/4.

You have Nintendo memories, I have Xbox memories.

It kind of is considering the IP's they now own. Hardware is only half the battle and Microsoft is positioned itself well going forward as console sales are not nearly as important to them as they are to Sony. The fact that first party games cost so much to make and take so long to develop has kind of caught up to Sony as their exclusive releases have dried up and they had to revise sales forecasts due to sales not meeting expectations.

$7 (with a minimum $10 spend with premium currency restrictions) for just one mission is something.

If you liked FTL, Cobalt Core is pretty darn good. Actually Overwhelmingly Positive. Klei is having a big sale on all their games so you can get Griftlands with it in a bundle deal too.

Shadow of the Erdtree is pretty good, I find the bosses to be a little relentless in that they charge you immediately barely giving you time to do anything to prepare for the fight. There seems to be a lot of empty space making the DLC seem larger than it is but I'm not done yet either. I'm enjoying it, not as much as the main game but I'd expect that with any DLC.

Yeah I mean its hard to condemn someone without the facts and with the age of consent being so widely different everywhere but I think the people openly calling him a pedo on twitter are really exposing themselves for a defamation suit. You can have all the opinions about him you want but when you label him like that especially without having all of the information you might be in for a bad time, especially with him losing sponsorship deals and partnerships thats a huge financial loss.

The only thing I want to know is when did he know she was a minor. Here is a quote from Twitter.

"Western culture is hilarious, if someone texts a girl 17 years and 11 months old he gets jumped by the whole industry.

But if that same girl waits one more month to sell her body on onlyfans she is celebrated for being an independent queen"

Overall this isn't about right and wrong its cancel culture and the power they hold, regardless nothing of value was lost here.
