Fatal Frame has gotten lost to history a bit, but I remember those games having the reputation as being the scariest that games have ever gotten when they were new.

There are exactly two games that my kids have played consistently for two straight years: Lego Marvel Super Heroes and "Robot Game" (Astro's Playroom).

100%. I was just reading this week due to the Concord fiasco about how disastrous many of the live service initiatives have been and Jim Ryan's misguided influence in that regard.

I am very relieved to see games like these succeed so spectacularly. Here's hoping the sales numbers follow.

Personally overjoyed that it's scoring so well. Incredible success for PlayStation and Team Asobi - I hope they're celebrating well today/tomorrow.

Thanks, I still can't wrap my head around how it makes sense to pull the game and issue auto refunds. Unless PlayStation thinks it's so toxically bad that its mere existence is damaging to the brand.

I'm OOL, what happened that was this bad? I'd heard it wasn't popular, like it just didn't latch onto the market (reasonably, due to oversaturation), but was there something functionally wrong with the game?

The turn-based with real-time elements reminds me of Sea of Stars and Shadow Hearts, which are both excellent titles in my mind for this game to associate itself with. Looks really flashy too with the menu, camera movement, and slowdown effects (hopefully that wouldn't get old with too much repetition).

Same here. Loved the setting and style, and the story and characters were admirably close to (the good) 3rd-person bioware stuff.

I don't usually pay full price for games, but I was thinking of buying Greedfall 2 near release to support what they do. This puts a real taint on things.

Thought this looked pretty interesting, but the gameplay trailer looks pretty rough. Reminds me of a 2010-era mid-budget action adventure. I'll keep an eye on it though, I'm not terribly picky about entertaining single-player games.

My patience with Cult of the Lamb finally pays off.

It's worth mentioning that article is from 2020, around the time she had started pivoting from TERF-lite to TERF-MAX. It was...reasonably possible to assume at the time, for someone who wasn't paying close attention, that her opinions were still rooted in misguided concern rather than open bigotry.

She had only just posted her manifesto a few months earlier, according to Vox's helpful timeline, which reads reasonably if you're unaware of the multitude of false and misleading claims she parrots.

Same, though interested is an understatement. Prey is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I enjoyed Weird West, but it left me feeling more like a POC of what the studio wants to do than anything up to the actual standards of Arkane's best.

If WolfEye fills the void of Arkane's deplorable closure, they'll get all the support I can give.
