    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    Not necessarily, there were already a ton of turn-based Pokemon-likes available before Palworld entered early access, and none of them captured an audience even half as big. RPG is a genre that casts a very wide net now, and Palworld has plenty of RPG elements despite having survival-crafting...

    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    Correct, people have been waiting for the Pokemon games to do something, anything different or interesting for decades. They finally got about halfway there with Legends Arceus' concept and then for some reason decided to take a huge step backward with Legends Z-A. Mainline games are even...

    Palworld 1.0 is officially out!

    I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but it's hit nearly a million concurrent players at its peak since 1.0 launched, and that's only on Steam. It's several orders of magnitude better than Legends Z-A, GameFreak is gonna have to do something really interesting/different with Winds and Waves if they...

    Monster Hunter Wilds to get permanent price drop from August 4th

    Yeah it's mostly wirebug movement that gives you the edge in Rise, but the end game difficulty is still there. Not necessarily framegen, but DLSS or FSR would probably be advised. Way better performance now than at launch though.

    Monster Hunter Wilds to get permanent price drop from August 4th

    Rise was also on the easier side for different reasons, but I think most people were hoping that wouldn't carry over to the "main" series games. Capcom introduced a ton of new players to the series with World, so I'm not sure why they felt the need to reset again/make Wilds so hand-holdy...

    Monster Hunter Wilds to get permanent price drop from August 4th

    Yeah that's just smart business sense. Most bought in to Wilds very early, but this gets a few more people on board for an expansion that hopefully shakes things up in a good way. A lot of Monster Hunter veterans and even just people coming from World didn't like how easy/quick hunts were...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    We're a year and a half away from them actually ending disc production for new games, of course most people won't care until the consequences are directly in their face. PS5 sales have already slowed considerably due to the price hikes alone, and if that trend continues to the PS6, Sony is...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    You're not wrong, but it's several steps beyond that too. If we had more consumer protections in the US, this wouldn't have happened. If we had a president that wasn't a greedy obese moron with late-stage dementia, this wouldn't have happened.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Typical corporate snake, sacrifice their long term outlook and reputation for a stock bump in the short term, then immediately cash out.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Sony doesn't know jack shit, they always get cocky like this when they think they're in a dominant position, and it always comes back around to burn them later. 94% is a figure pulled straight from your ass, over 50 million Playstation discs were manufactured last year, roughly 30% of their...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Sony declares AI as core part of future game development at PlayStation Holy shit it's like they're in a race to kill their gaming division before Microsoft.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    I'm fine with letting go of physical media, but that also means letting go of the last advantage consoles had over PC. Steam absolutely demolishes the paid subscription offerings of PSN, XBL, and NSO, and it does so for free. Valve couldn't have paid for better advertisement, and Sony couldn't...

    Palworld 1.0 is releasing in a week

    Excited to start a new save, I put in 120 hours and completed all the content before the first major update even dropped, so I expect 1.0 will be a very different experience for me.
