Lmao, only three players will decide the fate of the game for everybody? With multiple endings, where presumably every ending other that the one those three players get being permanently locked out?

How much shitty isekai anime did these idiots watch?

Like, a weird art piece game I can see, a AAA studio NFT project is gonna crash and burn so goddamned hard

PS5 master race!

Returnal has issues on PS5 too, tho of a different kind. Traversal stutter and frame drops, as opposed to shader compilation stutter.

I must have played on too small of a monitor at the time to notice.

I knew this game was trouble when 32 GB RAM was recommended.

I knew this game was trouble when 32 GB RAM was recommended.

That's happening a lot with these console ports and I'm not sure what the idea actually is.

Is there something about optimization on a PS5 that buggers the titles when put onto PC hardware?

Or are they just trying to rack up RAM in order to mimic NvME SSD speed?

Those are the only two things I can think of that would explain it to be honest.

As bad as Forspoken is, it's ability to instantly load the open world on a PS5 blew me away, so I can imagine how trying to mimic that on a PC would require some crazy shit considering most people don't have those SSD's in the systems yet.

LOL, looks like a fake trailer like Minesweeper but after Battleship, anything is possible.
This looks to be real. 2 hour long Apple TV movie.

Thanks for that. Great to see honest sites selling games cheaper, unlike G2A

Reminds me of Gaming Historian's video on how Tetris was released worldwide.


I legit thought that trailer looked interesting. At least until the second half when they started talking about elements that sounded like they invented for the movie.

....Because this is totally what the original idea was about, and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was a total success!

You're welcome. Fyi, both IsThereAnyDeal and GG.deals offer wishlists and let you set a desired price or discount for any specific game on any of the stores they track (which you can white or blacklist to your liking), and they'll send you an email alert whenever any of those stores hit that price. IsThereAnyDeal only tracks legit official stores. GG.deals can also track gray market, but you can disable that.

And while I'm at it, for those interested, another deal tracker, but specifically for Switch eshop. It also does Playstation and Xbox, but those are kinda wonky.
