I love video game trainwrecks so, so much. I think this has far surpassed Andromeda and even Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric at this point in the last 5 years of bombs but I think I might be forgetting one more...

Edit: Battlefront 2. I think this is probably on par but not worse just yet.

The only thing that could make this better is if there were a lovely version of the skin with a nylon bag for 500.

I just found out how badly Sony hosed up the PlayStation Classic, and I'm positively bewildered. It shouldn't be possible to do so many things wrong.

Not even talking about the line-up! Completely apart from the line-up, they shat the bed real good on this one.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-playstation-classic-emulation-first-look

About half the games are the PAL versions (regardless of where you buy the mini-console), and those games all repeat every fifth frame in order to match up with the locked 60Hz output of the device itself, resulting in awful visual stutter, on top of the fact that the games will only run at 5/6th the speed they're supposed to. And even the NTSC games don't run right!

I'm kinda impressed that it actually seems to be a coherent project moving on a schedule instead of just Kojima getting lost in the woods tacking on every feature and idea he can think of.

No one could be more saddened by the release of Death Stranding than Hideo Kojima himself, for then Lea Seydoux and Guillermo Del Toro will no longer be his contractually obligated friends.

The PC version of Arkham Knight, which was so bad they pulled it entirely until they could remake it.

Every year has a new easiest high-profile game to make fun of. In 2015 it was Arkham Knight, NMS in 2016, Andromeda in 2017, and a late slam dunk with Fallout in 2018.

2013 had Ride to Hell Retribution, 2014 Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric and don't forget in 2017 we also had a double helping with Star Wars Battlefront 2. Mmm mm what's for dessert this year?

I think there's too much riding on Anthem for it to be transcendently bad instead of just vaguely disappointing, but then again I thought the same thing about Andromeda before that was released.

Compelling. But could be no more than these Kojima games are both super Kojima-ie. And he liked a band so he put them in stuff multiple times?

If the supposition is true I'm sad that I watched that and ruined what could be a hell of a reveal.

Gonna preorder and go darkened ship on Death Stranding info.

Anthem has given zero indication of it being good. From the repeatedly-reused linear demo, to concept art recycled from the original reveal for the last e3 before release, down to just not being able to show the central hub city less than six months out from release.

It is all but certain to be a certifiable trainwreck.

Agreeing with this. After everything that happened with Andromeda there's no way they'll let the game's basic presentation/functionality be anything below your typical AAA fare, with some room for launch week hiccups.

But yeah its biggest crime I think will be it being absolutely unremarkable in any way. Just avg 7.5/10 AAA game that a few game journalists might try to prop up as the next coming of jesus cause of past loyalties to BioWare. What's sad is given EA's trackrecord it's very possible Anthem will be BioWare's last game :canada:

It gives every indication of being a straight Destiny clone, only without Bungie's technical acumen and seemingly preternatural ability to stumble the game back towards being good no matter how bad it gets for a while.

Wasn't there a leak or something on reddit where someone had inside knowledge that the game is currently a wreck and they keep having to re-work it?

I might be wrong but I think it may have only been a thing for a certain group of games. Mostly ones launched in October? Might be just remembering the deal all wonky though.

Yes, I had my info wrong. I am on chat, apparently of the 3 games I bought only Spiderman was eligible. However, the chat guy just told me he was able to validate the other 2 purchases, whatever that meant. He's generating me a code.

May be worth hitting up PS Support Live Chat if you bought some games but didn't get a code.

I was kind of hoping that Fallout 76 would get great reviews so that we'd have another Driver 3 incident, but alas...

The code expires, but the code simply adds 15$ to your wallet, and that money never expires. It also can be used on anything, including preorders, unlike the "20% off" codes that we get sometimes.
