"Real art", as though anyone can define such a thing. I don't think subtlety is a strict requirement. The existence of metaphors and symbolism in art can often come down to the interpretation of its viewers, even when it's not intended by the creator. Silent Hill 2 possibly has the best story in horror games, but Psychonauts 2 couldn't tell a story in the same way.
Oh hell yes I've been waiting for Ben 10 Power Trip
@Axel - Thanks for stating the obvious. The games aren't technically free. But you don't pay for them directly, you don't own them, and you have no say over which ones go to the service. But that's not the point, I'm arguing against the "BUT ITS FREE, TRY IT OR ELSE UR DUMB!" stance.
There's so many games on these services that the vast majority of people won't have time to give all of them a proper go... And half of a mediocre game lik...
Money isn't the only cost, the question here is whether it's worth putting any real time into. With things like PS+ and Game Pass, being free doesn't make it worth playing as there's plenty of options.
Weird that the best platformer category got forgotten, when it was confirmed to exist before the show... I thought for sure that was where Psychonauts 2 would win.
Hardly anyone called the first game a walking simulator, and anyone who did rightfully got shut down pretty hard. If anything it's the PlayStation fanboys that have switched stances now that the sequel is an Xbox exclusive.
I trust Quantic Dream to make a great story... Hopefully this has proper gameplay, because that's the one aspect stopping these guys from being up there with Naughty Dog.
This looks incredible. I'm sure the combat and puzzles will be fine, the first game was fairly good in those departments.
No, I didn't see that coming, this looks pretty great.
Because the Halo Infinite beta is essentially the full game, it's really only a beta in name. I guess what the voters played has impressed them enough for their vote, and if the campaign is as good as the reviews have said, then that only reinforces its position.
There'll be a lot of hype playing into this result, no doubt.
I guess that makes Lego DC Super Villains the only proper game this month.
Did he review the campaign by itself? I know IGN gave Halo 5 a 9, which I would probably agree with as the multiplayer was fantastic.
Indeed, this is a dangerous precedent. Just give us a different game if Gearbox/2K didn't want to actually give us Godfall.
Nope, you just need to get good
It was as tacked on as it gets. The only one I couldn't say that for was Uncharted 3.
"No one asked for Halo Infinite to be free to play" is a generalisation, which is suitable in this case. Most people didn't even think of the possibility, and the few who did were likely the type of people who would have had concerns with the free to play model.
I'm usually fine with this model. However, I would argue it's more shady for Halo Infinite. They knew the sales would be dramatically lower due to Game Pass, so they made the multiplayer free t...
No one asked for Halo Infinite to be free to play, most people would prefer to buy it full price and have something like the Halo Reach credit system. Hell, some people are going to pay full price for the game, and most people are going to pay to play it through their Game Pass subscription.
Whether you like it or not, cosmetic items are part of the game, and people have the right to be pissed off when they have to pay for them.
As for the game itself... It's o...
Unfortunately, this 3:2 ratio will probably be the other way around by the time next gen hits.
Psychonauts 2 gets my vote. And while I don't think Forza Horizon 5 should win, I am surprised it isn't even nominated, considering it's the highest rated game of the year.
I don't think anyone minds spoilers for PS1 games these days, it's fine.
