Right now, kind of, stock should stabilize over the next few months.

I’ve heard good things about immortal phone riser and it’s $30 after only a month. People that buy ubi games at launch must be the biggest rubes

Haven't played it myself but had a Cohh stream on in the background and every time I looked the game genuinely looked really awesome in every way. Since launch it seems to have completely tanked on Twitch however while people are still going nuts over Genshin Impact which is also a Zelda ripoff but actually does have all the microtransaction junk that costs a fortune.

It's funny how neither game cares about how blatant they are at copying Zelda but they both look incredible and have really nice visuals, shame it's a choice between Ubisoft with Immortals or microtransaction hell with whatever Chinese company it was that made Genshin Impact. Both games seem to have done excellent jobs of copying however so I wonder if we'll see more blatant Nintendo copies in the future? I imagine these development teams could easily put out immaculate Smash Bros/Mario Kart clones.

Genshin Impact is F2P and full of waifu/husbando collection mechanics so yeah it was always going to get more attention.

Of course the nice-looking Zelda clone with blue skies and nice grass has anime children :negative:

I don't think that Immortal has anything like that, though? From what I saw it seemed to focus on Greek mythology and seemed lighthearted and fun. Looked to have some varied areas as well but I just really like that Summer look :unsmith:

I played AC Valhalla on PC and it was one of the buggiest games I've ever seen in my life, holding the WR for about 30 days.

I was genuinely impressed that CDPR managed to make a console game buggier than the venerable PS3 port of Fallout New Vegas, which until last month was the console game that I’ve seen crash the most.

I'm close to wrapping up all the achievements on Series X and I've only had two crashes (the pretty-good auto save system meant I only lost a handful of minutes of progress). I've had way more casual glitchiness than things being outright broken.

In general I feel like I'm playing a different game than almost everyone else. I'm having an okay time with it and there are some really interesting side-quests. I do not like the leveling/skill tree system at all and I think it's so easy to lock yourself out of interesting things.

I’m playing it on PS4 Pro with an internal SSD and it’s easily the most crash-prone console game I’ve ever experienced. It’s a shame because I really like the game, it’s so annoying having to constantly quick save.

No, Risen is Pyranha Bites and Greedfall is Spiders, they're both eurojank developers, though.

The buggiest game i have ever played is still ps4 Spider-Man. It took me at least 5 tries to select new game without it giving me the blue screen, missions routinely crash in cutcenes randomly or have models frozen in place while they shuffle around motionless like zombies, unfinishable random events because my targets are stuck in walls, and my save file is stuck in some miles morales sequence that I can't finish because he keeps falling through the world when walking across the street to the homeless shelter.

I played a decent bit of valhalla but i waited for the first round of patches and the sale. I haven't seen a single bug yet. I refunded cyberpunk..... there are system level issues with that game that'll never be fixed, and it's also just very mediocre.

I ran it on a Slim with no issues. Huh.

Have not bought a PS5 yet since I don't see the point while I have a PS4 Pro and I just built a new PC.

I had a fine experience first time through Miles Morales but the 60fps RT mode they added later was real unstable (mostly graphical glitches with a few hard crashes or unresponsive home menu when the game was suspended, requiring a restart). Between this and WD: Legion's saving issues, just don't buy consoles at launch

Really hoping that Arkane gets pushed to make more Dishonored games because even though everything they make is gold that IP owns and I hope it makes a comeback.

Also MS really needs to make another Killer Instinct game and have more guest characters so we can have Master Chief fight Doom Guy.

I liked Dishonored 2 much less than 1 and I can't explain why since it was apparently better in every way that mattered (other than running like poo poo on my pc)

Yeah they had to use Bethesda's engine rather than Unreal Engine like they did the first game which is why it ran bad (also the CPU-sucking DRM would have made performance worse too) but holy poo poo was that some of the best level design ever. Weird as heck if you're used to 60+ fps and teleporting all over the place pulling off fancy tricks, though.

Looks good on the XsX but it doesn’t matter because the game is aggressively not good.
