The waiting game is what i have been playing all year. Waiting for 2023.

Ninver520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

If you've only got an Xbox that is. Plenty of games on the other side.

@343_Guilty_Spark

Your comment doesn't even make any sense.

"The waiting game is what i have been playing all year. Waiting for 2023" means that there was nothing that the OP particularly enjoyed across the entire year, not just recently. Obviously, there's been games released throughout like Ragnorok, Forbidden West, Sifu, GT7, Stray, etc on PS5.

343_Guilty_Spark520d ago

@Lucas

I guess you missed where he changed his comment from "this problem doesn't exist on the other side" or something to that extent.

Petebloodyonion520d ago

Have you played the game listed here?

ChubbyBlade520d ago

Get off Xbox then and you won’t have that problem

Petebloodyonion520d ago

This list can't be right since most of them aren't AAA titles
worst the majority of them got a day 1 release on Game Pass.

But honestly what I do find problematic with this list is aside from the AAA games like Elden Ring, Mario, and GOW, none of them actually got decent coverage on Gamepot aside from a review.
Everybody talks about how great Stray is but keeps forgetting that Gamespot gave tons of coverage on the day of release with several article pieces Meanwhile they didn't even bother to talk about As Dusk Falls who released on the same day on the exact same review score.

Guess what game ppl consider great and what game is considered meh at best?
So yeah Gamespot Great list too bad that you're the main culprit of why nobody will care for any of theses games aside from the AAA one.

Angyobangyo520d ago

What an absolute sad take,

"This list can't be right since most of them aren't AAA titles". In your own little lonely universe, only AAA games can make a list of good games. Wait till you find out that some AAA sames aren't good.

crazyCoconuts519d ago

I don't know... First of all no need to be rude. Secondly, any form of ranking games is going to be subjective. It's conceivable to say that an epic 60 hour adventure with stunning graphics and moments of brilliance shouldn't be compared to a 8 hour game with a novel concept. It's like comparing appetizers to entrees... Like, yeah that appetizer was awesome, but I'm still hungry

Petebloodyonion519d ago

My take on AAA was ironic since it seems to be the benchmark around here of what consists of a great game.
Thus my point is that for a lot of ppl, Game Pass is just a service that promotes mediocrity and filler despite that the majority of the games listed were released on day 1 on Game Pass.

The last part is more related to the Irony that aside from the AAA games, Gamespot has given next to zero coverage to a wonderful game like immortality.

VivaChe519d ago

I loved As Dusk Falls, and I would recommend it to anyone to play. However, I could see why people wouldn't include it on a "Best of 2022" list. As enjoyable as it was in its narrative, I would say it lacked in gameplay. It was more of a "choose your own adventure" in that way. For some gamers, these kinds of games will never be considered on the same level as other genres.

crazyCoconuts519d ago

They included Immortality... Isn't that in a similar boat?

VivaChe519d ago (Edited 519d ago )

@crazyCoconuts: Oh yeah true. Good point.

Petebloodyonion519d ago

My point isn't that As Dusk Falls should or shouldn't have been included in this game but the simple fact that Gamespot barely gave these games some coverage aside from a review.
But they have no problem giving tons of coverage to some similar game if Sony is behind the marketing (Sifu, Stray).
Vampire Survivors is probably one of the best action games created recently with some simple addictive gameplay yet no one knows about this game.
Immortality Gameplay is quite unique
etc.

And PS Yeah Immortality is a Masterpiece

TheKingKratos520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

God of war Ragnarok is a masterpiece... No game will ever get me like this new GOW series and The last of us series

Elden Ring was great too but not my favourite game from From Software

ebotj520d ago

No mention of Horizon Forbidden West? Give me a break GameSpot. This game definitely deserves a spot on any 2022 top games list!!

Petebloodyonion520d ago

I think the Gamespot list is based on review scores since they gave HZ an 8/10.

Angyobangyo520d ago

It's their list! Why so angry? Apparently Horizon is on your list. Nobody is telling you it shouldn't or should be there. The fact that "gamers" get so worked up because some game they like isn't on the list that some media outlet.

Tacoboto520d ago

Tunic was a very special game, I'd put it into a top 5, along with:
Horizon
Ragnarok
Elden Ring

Can't pick a solid 5th, between all the '20-'21 games I played this year and not having played Immortality or Pentiment yet. But Tunic really made you think, simple yet complex, serene yet daunting

shinoff2183520d ago

To each his own. Tunic don't look bad but I've played alot of good games this year

i surprised to see Fifa 24 here for free for PlayStation plus am sure people are still buying the game with how big the Fifa games are.

VersusDMC14d ago

Especially with the Euro cup coming up in june and it still selling as it was the 2nd best selling game for March in the UK. Big soccer competitions usually get me to play some FIFA(or FC now).

14d ago
outsider162414d ago

God damnit! I had just bought eafc24 on sale last month..

Cacabunga14d ago

they already gave FIFA23 last year, no surprise.
i do not have 24, I am still playing 23 I like the World Cup mode.
Ghostrunner 2 looks good, reminds me somehow of Mirror Edge.

CantThinkOfAUsername14d ago

It works for EA since it drives more people to try the game and get trapped in the casin... Ultimate Team cards.

Christopher14d ago

It came out over 6 months ago and most of its income now is MTX. Not surprising IMHO.

Abear2114d ago

Exactly! Nobody is buying it so they give it away and get a little boost of mtx, this is what these glorified rental services gets you

Tunic and ghost runner are damn good. Solid month.

monkey60214d ago

Yeah I'm happy with those 2. I didnt play Tunic when I had gamepass so ill be glad to finally give it a go.
I'm also amazed they still find ways to give Destiny 2 away. But at least its an added game and not one of the main titles

Tacoboto14d ago

Tunic was such an incredible experience, I'd instantly recommend it to anyone wanting a more old-school figure-it-out type of game.

The music alone is very peaceful and calming and balances well against the more strict combat

monkey60214d ago

I remember loving the demo for it but just hadn't got around to getting the full game yet.

shinoff218314d ago

I thought tunic was pretty cool. Didn't care much for Ghostrunner

Einhander197214d ago

Four games including one of the best selling and most popular sports games and you get to keep them as long as you have a subscription to the basic tier. This is an extremely high value month

What does games with gold give this month? I'm sure if anything at all, it's just a bunch of stuff that has already been on game pass for years.

Tacoboto14d ago

Your troll attempt is six months late to the party.

Einhander197214d ago

Oh pardon me, they changed the name to game pass core so Phil could talk up some inflated numbers even after they said they weren't going to share numbers anymore.

Tacoboto14d ago

Why is this relevant in an article about PS Plus anyway?

You're spamming for the sake of spamming with a troll post over something Microsoft did away with half a year ago.

northpaws14d ago

This line up and I still see people complain about it at the blog.playstation.com... gamers these days...

I don't play all of them, but an amazing month!!

MWeaver58914d ago

I have everything I want, but I am still overjoyed to see Tunic make the list. It's such a charming love letter to games of the past, and something anyone who enjoyed gaming in the '90s should absolutely check out. I mean, it even allows you to create an in-game manual that is reminiscent of those you'd read on the ride home.

Flat2VR Studios Is Working On PSVR2 Versions Of Select PS5 Games, Possibly Including Neon White

Flat2VR Studios is currently working on PSVR2 versions of select PS5 games, possibly including Neon White.

Neon White in VR sounds like both a dream and a nightmare. It's a dream because it would look incredibly cool, but a nightmare because of how fast-paced and intense the game is. With its frenetic action, nausea could kick in pretty quickly.

Still, I hope it's true. The PS VR 2 is a solid piece of hardware, but it's lacking titles.

Babadook730d ago

This is a brilliant idea for a studio. Focus on porting titles to VR, there are a lot of candidates.

Richhard130d ago

What’s the point if Sony are opening the PC floodgates anyway? Everything will be compatible

Dfooster30d ago

well if you happen to own a PS5 but not a PC i am sure its quite a big deal

Babadook728d ago

That’s me. I have a ps5 and a Mac
