With the terrible writing, bland characters and poor pricing, it may be vaporware post release. It’s hope is on combat.
Poor pricing is the only thing that is objectively confirmed though. Terrible Writing, Bland Characters, Poor Pacing - It's far too early to even tell when we've not even seen how the tutorial looks like yet.

Is there a point to the walking segment of Matrix Awakens (after the shooting section), or is it just "free roam till you're bored with nothing to do"? Game is pretty - yes. I can easily see them dropping resolution a bit to introduce unlocked 60 fps here though. Don't think it will be that much of a burden.
UE 5 is great. But we are yet to see what it's really capable of. I want to see how 50+ hour RPGs will look and play like in UE5 before passing judgements.

Andromeda = Utter flop
ME Legendary Edition = Full price game for a resolution upgrade + dlcs which were over-priced the first time around (They were not even able to include all DLCs)
Anthem = Utter flop
Dragon Age 4 = Nowhere to be seen, despite being announced in 2018; devs are not even sure how to salvage the game from it's original live service roots. I won't be surprised if the game is completely cancelled or comes out as a broken, hollow shell of itself - just to push something out.
It's time to face the facts. The original Bioware is dead. Anything that comes from this will just be a try-hard attempt and plea to EA "Please don't disband us; we can still make games".
There are new kings of the CRPG Genre, who have already claimed the throne. Larian , Obsidian and THQ Nordic are the kings, and Owlcat Games is also there on the wings. There's no point in being sad about this. Frankly, it might be better if EA sells off the franchise or outsourcing development to MS or Larian - they have a very good chance to make a far better game than Bioware at this point IMO. EA can have some exclusive marketing deals with them in return for a good game.

It is - especially when you consider game was already given free as part of PS+. This time it's on Sony I think. This is what they always do. Extract the full value of the game on console, and then sell for full price for the PC only guys later. It's still a "brand new" game since it's never come on PC, that's their justification. They did the same for Horizon, Days Gone and now for this.
It's an excellent game though. Something not to be missed. If you can, play it on PS. If not possible, then wait for sale. It should be discounted pretty quickly I guess.

Idk who said this but it's just 80/100 critics and user score 7.7/10. Now i don't go by the numbers but i have it for a month now downloaded via game pass but somehow i don't get the urge to start it, maybe I'll give it a go soon. But the amount of stuff catered to anime fans and action combat fans in general makes tales of arise one of the best games of this gen. Now only if it gets a GOTY with DLC content then it would be swell. I am actually looking for the hootle edition of this game, but can't find it
It's combat is really great. In some cases, better than Tales of Arise even. You are juggling and chaining seamlessly so many different and unique powers that it's really fun. This is something that you will not get from the anime. Not to mention the animations in the anime are horrible. It takes away from what is a really great story. If you've not yet started Scarlet Nexus, I urge you to play it.
Did you at least get the digital edition of ToA btw? It was on sale in steam until just a couple of days ago. Along with regional pricing - it went quite cheap.

All this is like, your opinion man.
I see Tales is a well made game and probably deserves nomination.
Just like Psychonauts 2 is a very well made game. Its 25 hrs + long, high quality, polished.
A Rift Mechanic cannot be ground for GOTY nomination. Comes across more as a gimmick.
Did you play RnC? The Rift is no mere "gimmick" - it's an actual amazing mechanic. It makes combat very fast paced and is just mind-blowing. If they ever incorporated such mechanics in other shooters - it will be genre-defining. It will change how such games are played. They are only not able to do it yet because all devs are constrained by the HDDs of the last gen systems.
I agree Psychonauts 2 should be nominated. But it feels like you are dismissing RnC: Rift Apart without even playing it. It's one of the best games of this year, objectively. Just as Forza, AoE4, Psy 2 are all excellent, so is RnC. Don't dismiss it so easily.

Btw whats that Matrix thingy? Is it a actual game?
Yup, downloadable and playable right now on PS5 and XSX/XSS. It's a free, short tech demo. If you want to get a feel of what UE5 games would be like - you can download it now and play.

Can look at this all day and night long, the games it leaves in shreds is sheer amazing, for those who don't really know how big defeating Monster Hunter and shin megumi is then, take my word for it, it's pretty huge, even though my pick was Tales of Arise i was sure MHR would win it. Damn way to leave me pleasantly full of joy. Gotta appreciate TGA still being mostly unbiased.
Shin Megami Tensei is no Persona though. IMO it's a more acquired taste, since the entire game is a 40-50 hour long dungeon crawler, with little to no story. Purists love it, but AFAIK most of the people are not that interested in it. It's why Persona is so big, and SMT is so niche - despite Persona literally being one of SMT's spin-offs (Technically, since both Persona and SMT are spin offs of the original Megami Tensei).
MH:Rise I'm not sure. DOn't know how it compares with MH:World, and if they upgraded enough to be far better than MH: World Iceborne.
Scarlet Nexus was the RPG to beat this year IMO.
-
Imagine beating out Scarlet Nexus - which was heralded as one of the greatest RPG games of the year lol. Not that they mind I think - since both are theirs. Friendly competition between internal teams.

Best Game Direction - Deathloop

Halo live action TV Show!! Seems great (Just the teaser)

Best Ongoing Game - Final Fantasy XIV Online

Definitely agree!! The study is conducted by a casino. Smart = Most Real-time Casino users (PC esp. for CPU and GPU mining + real time lottery) > Most Potential Users (More people willing to gamble for Playstation) > Less Potential Users (Less people willing to gamble for Xbox) > Absolute Idiots who don't use Casinos (Nintendo - No one gambles for a Switch/3DS)

25 hours from this post.
This is the re-award show time right? So the main show will be from 1:30 am GMT/7 am IST? (That's what I remember from previous awards)?

Yes its confirmed. Also, the actor for Mat has been replaced because the current actor dropped out due to unknown reasons. Sad really, he's doing a fine job.
That is sad. Current Mat has been phenomenal (all actors have been really). Wonder why he dropped out? It was such a great opportunity for a new actor to make it big. Hopefully, it's not because he was forced out so Amazon could hire some big name in his place.

Wheel of Time episode 5 looked great. From Tar Valon to cosmetics to interiors to city & people. Everything was beautifully done.
Bit slow pacer though and not much happened but instantly liked Loial and his lines.
Stepin:
Damn. He looked suicidal from start and felt like it was dragged too much. We already know the bond between Aes Sedai and warder is strong but somehow the show managed to waste half of the runtime telling what we already know. The Aes Sedai who died in the last episode was barely known (at least to show only viewers), so wasting time on Stepin was too much.
Overall still felt like a filler episode. Bit disappointing as it looks like there is plenty left to tell and show but only 3 episodes left...
Yup, complete filler episode. Don't know why they need such episodes when the season itself is so short. If it was at least a 12/24 episode season, they could go ahead with fillers all they want. Useless as of now.
1 hour ago, dylanjosh said:Yep. Similar thoughts. Too much time wasted on this warder bond. That said, I really love the actor for Lan. He's doing an amazing job. I think he's my fav character right now.
When I read the book I imagined Loial to be more like Shrek lol.
Lots of book readers are very mad at this episode because they changed up locations. In the first book we never visit Tar Valon. Instead we visit Caemlyn and meet some other important characters there. Looks like those characters are cut out of the tv show this season.
I think it kinda makes sense. We hear so much of Aes Sedai and the White Tower throughout the previous episodes, so it makes sense to go here.
Far too many changes tbqh. Is he 2nd season even confirmed yet? If not, at the rate they are going -
SpoilerThey might as well reveal anyone to be the Dragon Reborn, make the Eye of the World a super-weapon the DR uses to kill off the Dark One, and end the show altogether. Super generic Hollywood style
Show is very entertaining, because the actors are good. They actually made the characters far more likable than their book counter-parts. But they are veering off far too much into their own original content to my liking. Hope they don't mess up.

I agree that gaming, even on a 50k console is still a luxury for most of India and expecting the government to step in and make laws to control PS5 scalping is quite out of touch with reality. However I do have major issues with Indian government (not just NDA but also UPA) which have kept a very myopic view of the industry. Graphics cards and computer equipment are taxed so heavily with custom duties that their price is significantly more expensive compared to foreign countries even just on Currency conversion without taking into account PPP. What the government doesnt understand is that if they forego the tax revenue from computer equipment in the short run, there is potential to get much higher returns in the form of better career prospects and development of new industries in the long term.
Lets face it, the next Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo is not going to come out of India If you keep competition out and prices high, but the next twitch.tv certainly might. Gaming is a fast developing industry and India is currently far behind, we dont need to manufacture consoles in order to have a piece of the industry.
We are making some progress in chip manufacturing but too early to say how it will turn out.Forget GPUs, CPUs and consoles. The first thing that tax has to be reduced on (permanently) is petrol/diesel/fuel. Your CPUs/GPUs might affect one industry that may or may not come in the future. I say may/may not - because there is still a very large cultural stigma on video games. Even if govt. allows it, a lot of parents and old people (along with the huge non-gamer population of the current gen), will actively stop any development of gaming or any other such industry in India.
But what does fuel affect - everything. Once logistics are affected, every damn thing has to get more expensive, whether you like it or not. Essential/Non-Essential - all of that is immaterial. Anything you buy will always be cost of good + transport (which includes tax of transport). Govt. seriously has to get it's priorities right. Tax luxuries. But fuel is the very basis of everything. Don't classify that as a luxury. No govt. has ever yet classified fuel as essential till now though, which is sad. All govts. are still in the pre-independence mentality that all cars/trucks etc. are luxuries and only bullock carts are the true means of transport.

Btw there were 2 jrpg announced in the Xbox E3 I think. One was turn based and another action from the same IP. Anyone remember what it was?
I think this is the one you are referring to
They are not graphical power-houses, but I'm quite excited for them tbqh. They are from the original creators of Suikoden - which is a JRPG classic, and was a very ambitious game. If you don't know about Suikoden - it was a series with an amazing full scale story, and you could recruit 100+ characters. Each of the characters had their own story, so they were not use and throw. Not all of the characters just joined your party. You could construct your own city, and build various facilities there (based on who you recruited), participate in actual wars to defend your city etc. This was in addition to the main story that you ran with your MC and his/her companions. They did all of that on the PS1, way back in 1998.
I'm excited to see what they do with the new technology available today. The game is not an MS exclusive though. It's there for all platforms, and it's quite a ways off (2022 and 2023). I expect we will also get regional prices for this on Steam.

Why does this not surprise me? If HBO had hired a decent writer after GRRM left and cracked the whip on D&D to at least get some proper seasons and a proper ending (both non-rushed) - there would have been some promise left in GoT. As it is - the last 2 seasons have poisoned the entire GoT well. I don't think anyone is hyped for GoT prequels, despite those being written by GRRM himself. Not to mention, prequels, by definition will always be marred by the actual show's ending, since that happens in the future.
It's no surprise D&D are not in any show these days. They rushed GoT to jump on Star Wars, and even Disney dumped them after seeing the quality of the last 2 seasons.

This might be a dumb one but I'm unable to purchase anything using Paypal / Debit/ Credit cards. Not even the online sub. What am i missing here?
How to purchase using eshop?
What I do is purchase eshop codes from 3rd party sites like amazon or playasia (Digital codes with instant delivery), then use those codes to make purchases on the Switch Eshop. Just make sure that the code matches the region (Like say $20 US Eshop code for a US Eshop account and not an EU one).

Man these upcoming Xbox games look so good and fresh. Gg.
I hope Todd will become successor to Phill and becomes head of Xbox.
No!! IMO Todd works well if he has someone above him to crack the whip. If he's the overall boss, you will start seeing 1 game per decade again. And before you say Dishonored, Wolf and all - they were their own teams under Zenimax (and now under MS). Todd was in charge of only BGS AFAIK.
