It’s a massive and incredibly complex RPG that does far more right than it does wrong. That’s why people were willing to overlook the bugs and polish issues.

“thousands of issues”

I haven’t encountered any of these crazy bugs. I played the game 5-6 time start to end in different playthroughs.

So what?

I’ve played it five times, including runs on both Tactician and Honour mode. I played it at launch, and then through several patches. Other than some performance issues that were resolved over time, and a brief save bug that required waiting for a patch to access recent saves, I never encountered any game breaking…

I didn’t start playing it until December after it had seen multiple patches, and while I have encountered various glitches (from relatively minor to some fairly serious ones) and still do to this day (I’m just at the end of Act 2 now), all in all I’ve been extremely pleased with the experience. Perhaps the (well…

Is this what AI humor looks like? 

That’s the stupidest thing I've heard this week

I see you have a very loose definition of “joke,” seeing as how that both is not remotely funny, and also makes absolutely zero sense and might be one of the single dumbest things that I have ever read. You also don’t seem to understand how acronyms work. “Let’s just pick some random letters from the middle of these…

OOooof that’s a stretch

Microsoft has already stated that Activision was already planning layoffs.  Now, while trusting suits on their word alone isn’t generally a good idea, it’s also worth noting that the previous guy in charge was Bobby Kotick.  As the paragon of sweetness and light that he is, I’m sure Activision would never have done…

It’s incredibly cool that this company of incompetent boobs was allowed to buy up basically every videogame IP that wasn’t already spoken for (and some that were).

Do you think that the writers actually have any control over Kotaku technical limitations? Or that a game journalist shouldn’t talk about technical issues with the game he’s reviewing? This rationale makes no sense to me.

I’ve played on PC, I have around 20 hours. Never had any crashes and I run an RTX 3060 and a 3070. I did experience that bug where we weren’t getting any loot or XP after missions but that’s been resolved. Matchmaking is still hit or miss to this day, but like you said, I’m willing to put up with a lot of that crap…

Funny how much of a deal this site made about Hogwarts player count dropping by much less than this after 6 months yet when its a game you don’t have a hate-on for it you say it doesn’t matter. You cant have it both ways.

Meanwhile, over on Xbox, its crusty af. It’s insane how overconfident MS was with their software lineup, especially after getting absolutely smacked in the previous gen. I can’t even recall the last Xbox exclusive title that made headlines (no not THAT game) in a good/fun way.

It’s completely cross platform. I play PS5 & am having a blast spreading democracy with my PC mates. It was our main reason for purchasing it as our new online squad game.

Funyun Enchirito. Sold.

As someone who also owns both, theres nothing to me that indicates the ‘Xbox Experience’ is better. Maybe I’m missing something?

But also Xbox fumbled the ball a decade ago so people bought the PS4, and they get to keep all those games on PS5, so we’re kinda locked in. 

Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment are exciting. Not mentioned here, but Forza Horizon games are really fun cartoonish racing, would be worth having on PS5.

As for the rest....

Halo - a tired, dead franchise with all the creativity and fun long sucked out of it. Anything new is going to be live service hell at this point. Okay,…
