So, my wife ordered me a God of War Ragnarok ps5 on Amazon because she saw they're readily available now. It's expected delivery date was between 8/17-8/20. Now it's showing they'll email us when they have a date, are we screwed and it's just going to say that forever or is it still going to ship but just later? Anyone have experience with this?

I dunno if anyone else in this thread is into Ghostrunner, but Ghostrunner 2 has just been given its release date and price: October 26th for $39.99 USD. I adored the first game and the sequel is tied with AC6 for my most anticipated release this year.

I gotta check out BG3. In that recent “AAA games are stale” tangent I used very similar language to describe my experience with Prey and Dragon’s Dogma https://twitter.com/rafcolantonio/status/1693636661580533952 (this is one of the people responsible for Prey being the Prey we know).

Playing more Trails of Cold Steel over the weekend and I finally realised exactly why I don't like the English VA: The game makes quite a Big Deal that the main cast of like 10+ characters all come from a variety of far flung regions and social classes of a vast empire yet they all speak with the same featureless annoying Generic American accent. The actors themselves are perfectly competent in reading their lines but a little effort in adding a little flavour to the characters and world would have been huge imo. In the end I just find it really distracting so I'm gonna stick with the Japanese from here on out.

Just don't confuse it with Godfall, Lords of the Fallen, Babylon's Fall or Redfall. I think there is a trend of games with the word Fall in it being mediocre.

Volte posted:I seriously doubt that downloading a game on Game Pass is being counted as a sale Eh, it says it includes digital sales figures (by virtue of the fact it explicitly excludes them for MLB because???) which would have to come from Microsoft themselves and who knows what hosed up accounting they use make sure game pass is good for developers? I can absolutely see a world where ‘every download is a sale on our system so you get to say you sold x copies and show up in charts as marketing’ is a selling point to get developers on board.

It’s not even a “lol micro$oft” thing, I’m sure there’s a spreadsheet somewhere in Sony HQ where every ps plus download is a sale for some metric or another. Considering literally every other major entertainment industry on the planet fucks with their accounting for a variety of reasons (usually to gently caress people at the bottom of the pile out of a few extra bucks) there’s absolutely no reason to assume gaming isn’t exactly the same

I just want to play some football sometimes with a good career mode. It's all I want. Either that or something like Blitz, NFL Street or Backbreaker.

I liked NBA Street 2, I think, with a bunch of golden-era 70s style and actual personality. Modern games are so sterile to appease the various brand rights holders to the point of being an empty shell, just like ESPN itself. That said, I've been tempted lately on PSVR2 by both 2MD VR Football (the original on PSVR1 was fun) and NFL Pro Era football, which somehow also has the NFL license (I guess VR is different to traditional?) but is more expensive as a result.

SubponticatePoster posted:If you want one now, Costco has the bundle for $570. If it actually hasn't shipped from Amazon you might be able to cancel the order. You can try your luck with their customer service but that's totally gone down the shitter. I already know that Customer Service will basically have no idea and will lose their loving mind if it isn't part of a script. Was just curious if anyone has had a similar experience ordering one. I can be patient and wait, Hell if it takes long enough, I'll just make them give me the Spider-Man version because CS is that bad they'd see no issue.
