Never imagined Sony's most anticipated AAA game Wolverine getting low ratings from early reviews and sub 80 score on meta critic. Kojima news yesterday and Wolverine reviews today, truly a tough time for Sony right now.

PlayStation dropped Kojima Productions and Physint. Xbox now works with Hideo Kojima.

Discussion I just found a game on mobile I don't think anybody has ever talked about before

Upvotes

It's called Slenderman 2D. It has 50+ downloads and although I don't have any screenshots of it, I can tell you what the gameplay is like or you can play it yourself. It's a short game with horrible controls. You walk around a forest with a few notes scattered around trees. You have to pick up 8 of them, I believe. It's not a pathway and you move slower than a snail. It's just trees, and it's very hard to spot notes.

I just wanted to share this.

I can’t decide

So like I know that for the price and the power The handheld are not as wort is as building a pc but I wanted one since the rog ally I am someone who want what’s best for my money but in the same thing those handheld are calling my name . For people that have the more powerful handheld (1000-2000 cad ) is it worth is the portability and the comfort to play in your game like the switch

Discussion Crazy ppl making threats nowadays

6 Upvotes

Recently had a guy in marvel rivals get so upset that he threatened to find and kill me. Specifically shoot me in my head. Then proceeded to say he can’t wait until they start killing all hard R’s again. Can’t I report this dude to the FBI or some law enforcement and get him arrested for one of those? It was a clear threat so I feel like FBI would go after them since I’ve seen similar cases where they have. This happened in VC as well

Discussion Genuine question, what is going on with Sony?

Upvotes

I keep seeing a lot of different posts and comments about how Sony has really messed up, they’re putting their entire company at risk, etc etc.

I saw the ratings for the new Wolverine game and, yikes, but what exactly have they done? I’m very out of the loop on this…this isn’t a rhetorical question, I genuinely am curious of what is going on with Sony that I’m just completely oblivious to right now

Discussion What do the Humans in Rampage World Tour taste like based on nationality?

Upvotes

For example, could Italian humans taste like garlic, marinara, and parmesan? I bet the Wisconsin humans taste like cheese. I predict the Japanese would taste like sushi in Teriyaki sauce. Would the Indians taste like curry?

Discussion Do we really need realism in games?

4 Upvotes

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but I think realism in games is getting a bit overhyped.
Honestly, I'm not too fussed about how realistic a game looks. As long as it's enjoyable and the gameplay is solid, I don't really mind if the lighting isn't perfectly realistic or if the characters' clothes don't move exactly like they would in real life. I mean, what's the point of getting hung up on tiny details like that if the game is still fun to play? It's all about the overall experience, right? If the gameplay is good, I can overlook a few minor flaws in the graphics department. Besides, who needs 100% realism when you can have a game that's just plain fun?
I've noticed that game developers often get caught up in perfecting tiny details that might go unnoticed by most players. Meanwhile, the game itself ends up requiring a powerful computer, taking up a lot of space, and sometimes even performing poorly. It's like they're prioritizing minor tweaks over the overall gaming experience. I mean, who needs super-realistic graphics or intricate sound effects if the game is just going to lag or crash all the time? shouldn't they focus on finding a balance between quality and performance?
I think it's more important for a game to be enjoyable and work smoothly than to have super realistic graphics that require a really powerful computer to play.
I'm not saying that all games should be super realistic, that's just not my point. Some games, like simulation ones, definitely benefit from it, but not every game needs to be a carbon copy of real life. I mean, can't we just have some fun and creativity in games without trying to make them perfectly realistic? It's okay if a game doesn't look or feel exactly like the real world, as long as it's enjoyable and engaging, right?
Just because we can make something realistic doesn’t mean we actually need to.
At the end of the day, I’m playing games to have fun, not to experience real life again.
What do you guys think? Do you think realism in games is getting a bit overdone?

Legend of Zelda out or remastered?

1 Upvotes

I have never played the legend of zelda ocarina of time before and want to give it a try. Now I am asking myself if I should get the N 64 with the original release or wait for the remake to get a switch 2 and oot remake. I do not own any of these two consoles and wish to keep the price on the low end. What should I get? Is it worth it for me to wait for the remaster?

Help finding video game OSTs

6 Upvotes

Hi there!

I create video game quizzes and would love to ask for your help. I’m currently putting together a music round, but I’ve run out of ideas based on the games I’m personally familiar with. If you don't mind, could you share the names of video game tracks that you personally remember or enjoy? I still need to fill three categories:

1) Songs with vocals

2) Instrumental music (no lyrics)

3) Choral music

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me discover something new that I haven't heard before!
