The truth that most find hardest to accept is that Nicki French improved Total Eclipse of the Heart.

@trsrpc Higher prices, reduced competition, and revoked licenses do, in fact, affect you.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@minhle03143060 @geoffkeighley Steam is one store on a platform that has many stores.

PSN is the only store on PlayStation.

The whole point of this is to remove competition and control the price of everything on their platform.

@GTASixJoker We got GTA6 Remastered before GTA6

@elyelgow Still no Jak & Dexter, yet another mid garbage State of Play

[Michael @smeghead25]

@TheHiddenOneAC This is objectively correct when viewed from Australia.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@de3dsoul Parkour was still clunky and often a full second behind your inputs. Despire the recent update the outcome of jumping or dropping is still unpredictable RNG.

Sure, the parry was similar. But it was still missing the options to grab, throw, or break guard by attacking in rhythm.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@de3dsoul All of the promo about 'returning to its roots' was utter hogwash, and it irritates me that people still parrot that PR line about Mirage.

It added tweaked approximations of some of the OG features to the Valhalla system, it was just the gameplay equivalent of an Insta filter.

@khaliltooshort Souls games get glazed for far more obscure optional BS lol

@tyrranKPX Because a Stamina bar in a game where 90% of the actual minute to minute gameplay is traversal just means traversal is constantly interrupted and wastes your time more. Open world games should limit stamina to fights.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@justxavierisunc So what, Conflict: Desert Storm on PS2 had it as well 🤣

Why are you both acting like your favourite games invented a common mechanic?

[Michael @smeghead25]

@EndymionYT Reviews pretty convincingly show its buggy af, unfinished, and not worth playing.

Frankly, it's nice to finally see at least one group of Gamers™️ not putting the need for political point scoring above not buying a shit game.

@OMGTheMess Why would we? What help could we offer against Iran when "they have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force... they have nothing left." as Trump said.

Surely against all of that nothing the USA should have no problem opening Hormuz themselves?

[Michael @smeghead25]

@Ruleof2Review There is nothing quite as mind-numbingly dull as games with giant open worlds where 95% of your time 'playing' is just traversal.

A giant open world can be impressive at first, sure, but a few hours in it's a chore. These days I'd be far more impressed by small maps used well.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@G27Status Disappointing, but not surprising. The aim would have been to have another BF game out in a couple years, but now that BF6 has actually been successful EA will be pivoting to extend its life as a live service.

Fewer resources are needed to just keep cycling out new content.

@SpawnYaardReply "Please don't return to one button combat!"

*shows one button combat

The originals only had one button combat if you suck. Combat encounters were over quicker and with style if you had some skill and used knife throws, grabs, parries, and timed your attacks to break defence.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@TheHiddenOneAC The "one button" criticism doesn't hold up either. Even in the original you had multiple options to attack, thin out the crowd, and end an encounter quickly with skill and style. You could wait to parry, grab, shove, throw a knife, and time your attack to break through defence.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@TheHiddenOneAC It wasn't the best, but the old one button (and stick flick) counter system was and still IS more satisfying and far superior to the modern floaty, clunky, often unresponsive, health sponge combat.

[Michael @smeghead25]

@vinicius_snrr Game of Thrones for sure

But seasons 5 to 8 was

@Clint_Davey1 Wasn't just a big sword, he also had a giant Parades NUTS

The obvious counterpart is Sam.
