Atlus Knows How Badly You Want To See Persona 2 And Persona 3 Remakes

Maybe you’d prefer to see Persona 2: Innocent Sin or Persona 2: Eternal Punishment’s protagonists once again shunted into the spotlight instead – after all, other than a release on the PS Vita a few years back, many gamers haven’t had the chance to experience that story at all. Well, fret not. Atlus knows Persona fans would very much like to see some of the old games revisited and given the remake treatment....

Battlefield 2042 Excluded From Ea S Q3 Earnings After It Failed To Meet Expectations

As part of its Q3 FY2022 earnings call - the three months ended December 31 - EA shed some light on the sales of Battlefield 2042, as well as many of its other heavy-hitters. The publisher actually made no mention of DICE’s shooter in its earnings highlights or press release. It wasn’t until the actual call that EA executives confirmed what everyone had suspected. “We did have a challenge in Q3 as the launch of Battlefield 2042 did not meet expectations,” said Wilson....

Battlefield Fans Are Obsessed With 2042 S Shrinking Player Numbers As They Reach New Lows

DICE’s first Twitter post of the year, seemingly teasing a new map, didn’t help, either. The main Battlefield 2042 subreddit nearly shutdown because it got so toxic, with some shifting from criticising the game’s design to mocking its developers. But there’s been another trend you could clearly see take shape in the background: players’ tracking of the game’s player numbers, to a point that makes it seem like they want it to fail....

Best Of 2020 Wasteland 3 And James Other Goty Picks

Oh ho ho, no, I’m not talking about Fallout 76 retconning its entire storyline to reanimate long-dead characters in what must be one of the biggest gaming u-turns ever. What? No NPCs? Nah, you’re thinking of Fallout 75; there’s always been a dive bar there. Fetch our robot a new butt, please. What do you mean the entire main quest used to be stoically listening to audio logs left behind by the Overseer?...

Best Of 2021 Monster Hunter Rise And Dorrani S Other Goty Picks

I think it’s a mixture of things actually, and if I’m very honest and I’m sure you’ll agree, this wasn’t the best year for games for so many different reasons. What that’s left us with is the best of the bunch being very close together as Game of the Year contenders. The gaps between the games I’m about to mention are marginal for all different reasons. Monster Hunter Rise - Nintendo Switch When I thought about my GOTY, Monster Hunter Rise wasn’t the first game that came to mind....

Best Starter Pokemon In Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Evolutions Detailed And Does The Choice Matter

What is the best starter Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet? A lot is often made of the choice of starter Pokemon, but in truth the starter you pick in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet doesn’t matter all that much. For one, it’s not as if you’re going to be battling every battle throghout the whole game with this one Pokemon, and two, saying one is better than another is like saying still water is better than sparkling; it’s a matter of personal choice....

Blizzard Challenges Criticism Of Diablo Immortal Microtransactions Says Vast Majority Of Players Aren T Spending Money

Since its release, many players and Diablo fans have voiced distaste over the number of microtransactions along with the cost of fully upgrading a character leaving many to compare Diablo Immortal to a pay-to-win mobile title. The game itself reportedly skipped release in the Netherlands and Belgium due to the game’s loot boxes which run afoul of laws against RNGs in both countries. Ybarra told the paper the studio is aware of the complaints, and that despite this, the game has a high rating and over 110,000 user reviews on Apple’s App Store....

Borderlands 3 Goes On Sale For 20 On Console

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Borderlands 3 steadily continue to trickle down in price on console – from $30 to $25 and now this all-new low. If you’ve been tempted by its silly mix of out-there gunplay and bonkers weaponry but have been holding off for a more tempting price then now is likely the time to bite. It’s not entirely clear how long this offer will be around for so I wouldn’t hold out for too long just in case....
