Holy shit what's up with the all the GOTY drama? Why are some Wukong fans pretending it's a 97+ masterpiece robbed by 75 rated (and woke) AstroBot? It's a pleasant surprise that Wukong got nominated at all considering its aggregated scores. Weird (and unprecedented lol).

Its an absolute embarrassment. PC gamers review bombing Baldurs Gate 3 as some form of protest is even more pathetic.

I think y'all should actually look at the reviews rather than online posts showing the negative reviews to see that it's only a handful of Chinese players echoing the sentiment of the studios CEO who is also upset the game lost and these "review bombings" aren't pointing the needle in the other direction. It hasn't dropped Baldur's Gate 3 user ratings by a single percent. Neither recent reviews or overall reviews. Or on any website that has user reviews like Metacritic.

This isn't "PC Gamers being whiny" it's, as usual, an absurdly low vocal minority who gets online notoriety, but this time, whose complaints are already being drowned out. Actually, already have been drowned out. Their reviews are already buried by all recent positive reviews.

You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Been playing GTAV as far as Playstation is concerned. Put Driveclub on hold for now.

I have to say for years I considered GTA Vice City (PS2) and GTA San Andreas (PS2) as my top favorite GTA games among GTA3 (PC), GTA4 (PC) and GTA LCS (PSP).

But after playing GTA5 (PS5) - have to say its my most favorite of the GTAs now.

Cant wait for GTA6 - gonna be a day 1 purchase for me on PS5.

Anyways, this is my current playing list as of 12/16/2024.

A few are trying to review bomb Astro Bot on Metacritic as well, fell from 92 to 91 user review and the 0s that write a review always mention TGA or Wukong directly.



They should just completely remove user scores, they serve no purpose and are so easily abused. I trust user reviews less than IGN.

Disagree.

Just ignore the bad ones that give flat out 0s or no depth in review and carry on.

The reviews on steam are pretty trashy lol. The game doesn't matter, everything it's about their own agenda. They don't like who owns the game? Review bomb. They don't like the devs have opinions? Review bomb. The official twitter of an engine makes a tweet supporting minorities? Let's review bomb all the games made with that engine LOL. 



Based in Sucker Punch festive card we can assume the kusarigama, double blades and pistols aren't the only new things in the gameplay. We may also get a wolf familiar, the wolf was in the trailer but still is nice to get a little more of how important the wolf is.

Just received my PS5!!!

Got a new Korean import of the slim digital for $370. Did a quick inspection and it all looks legit/ new. Will wait till Christmas to properly open it. Let my kid enjoy opening it too.

Enjoy! Play Astro's playroom first which comes included.

I'll def do this. My kid enjoyed Playroom (the camera PS4 game) and I've played though both Playroom VR and Astro Rescue Mission. 

I'll probably let my kid play the game together with me on weekend's while I spend time on something else. About to finish off GoWR, so will head into the DLC. And then I really want to play both Calisto Protocol and Dead Space remake.



Do y'all think it's possible Sony held off from dropping too many major releases this year in order to build up a powerful catalogue to compete with NSW2 next year? Seeing how powerful Zelda, 3D+2D Mario, MarioKart, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros were during the NSW gen, I can only imagine Sony is a little worried abt PS5 remaining competitive once this whole new wave of Nintendo games drop over the next 3-4y. Plus, we already know of Ghost of Yoeti for PS5. Possible there is one or two more major releases yet to be announced?
