Except that PS5 is your secondary platform. Meanwhile PC users with a Steam Deck will be able to play on their primary and secondary plaforms 🤷‍♂️:ROFLMAO:

Ascension complete. The tower of sisyphus is a fantastic addition to an already brilliant game. Nothing like bringing out a disgorger when the odds are stacked against you and letting it rip enemies to shreds. The masters of bullet hell never disappoint.

Some of the questions surrounding the story have been answered via the hospital sequences, which were also done really well. Safe to say that if you played and enjoyed the base game, Ascension is an absolute must-play!


I'm not done with the game by any means. Going to hop right back in soon to play the base game in coop with a friend who's gonna play it for the first time. Have already tried it with a few randoms, and was glad to see that the netcode is really solid. In a game like this, it really needed to be.

Less easy, seemingly impossible even, is the act of hopping back into a session if you lose connectivity. Once you’ve started a session, there’s no way to access the multiplayer options again, even if your partner is dropped. Traveling your way back to the big blue orb merely results in an “already used!” pop-up window. (When reached for comment about a workaround, Sony did not immediately have anything to add.) Given PlayStation’s recent woes with its online services, not ideal! It’s all a microcosm of Returnal’s design sensibilities: trading convenience for that ever-elusive, ill-defined target of “immersion.”
Even with a friend, turrets still suck.

When it works, though, Returnal’s co-op is serviceable enough. The best co-op games—from blockbusters like Halo to indie darlings like Wizard of Legend—force you to refine how you play, to devise a different strategy than the one you’d fall back on while playing solo. Returnal, meanwhile, feels a lot like posting up at a bar with a friend just for both of you to spend the entire time on your phone. Sure, you’re together, but you’re doing the thing you’d be doing while alone.

That tells more about the state of 2020's most anticipated game than it does about the $10 pricier and Necrokiller dubbed Broketurnal 🤣

Oscars are conveniently relevant for CerebralTiger once again 🤣

Oscars? More like Indie Academy lol. Lemme know when a $60/70 game wins GOTY at one of those in future in the presence of a well-received low-budget indie game 🤣
lol @ Oscar. More like the "let's recognize this indie game, because no one else will" awards 🤣
Yiiiikes 🤣

Yes, yes...needed 1 more win for that to happen. Guess the rest didn't think "We should award Broketrunal because no one else will" 🤣

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
