what's the point of making technology like this if PlayStation puts out a single first-party game in a year with all the personality of a wall

pikmin 5 teaser

FOUL

no game has sucked the life out of me like this one

I would rather 100% complete Balan Wonderworld than play another second of Ghost of Yotei

Why did I cry over that stupid Nintendo short
It's so stupidly cute

The concept of the Pikmin helping the baby to take their first steps

how expressive the animation is and how happy the mum looks

man :')

Colour theory?? never heard of it!!

You can go from playing a game that makes you feel Alive (Silksong) to playing a game that makes you feel like you're on total autopilot (Yotei)

man i just don't feel anything
i know that it's just pointless to lament over the loss of so many legacy IP, but why does it also have to be replaced by this

game looks pretty - that's it

Ghost of Yotei most certainly is a first-party Sony game in 2025.

For my birthday I want everyone to install Foamstars and play with me

Thank you Fran! <3

Thanks so much Cay!

Thank you!!

well now it's a proper birthday

I fear it's that time once again

You are the best person on Earth today

For the love of God, can you disable the stupid letterboxing that happens every time you get on the horse in Ghost of Yotei

Why does it do that

This Argos worker had a mission, apparently

There will come a day when I can buy a Mario game and not have someone ask for my ID when I go to pick it up.

Today is not that day.

and you're so right

my dad has gone on a drunken ramble about how he wants to write a crime fiction book about a father who kills the murderer of his child as revenge by pretending to be a prison warden; I fear I am literally the child of Brent Norwalk from The Good Place

Had someone reach out to me and let me know ahead of time about something to do with Hades 2 - and if true - what an absolute car crash

I'll play the game through to its end to see for myself, but good god I may have to write about this lol

This sounds like something I would absolutely love love LOVE to read about

And people's anger itself shows a concerning tendency to tie validation to the things people 'like'

It is not healthy to get this angry at critique - it is not healthy to be this dependent on IP for validation

Utterly heartbreaking: I'm apparently so good at my bar job that theyre fully using me as a standard for other staff

You shouldnt do that I'm an idiot 💔

Very much felt this last night watching the State of Play - even Saros feels incredibly flat to me. There are so many fantastic games coming out with buckets of personality and ambition - Wolverine just looked like Another Marvel Game (TM)

Made me miss Japan Studio :/

He's all of us

I miss when PlayStation did stuff outside of photorealism

Bar none, it is some of the best VA work I've ever heard. It fits so naturally - I can't imagine plauing without it

I go to bed one time and I wake up to Kojima Credit Card and The Rapture
