Re: Feature: So, What Happened To Super Mario Galaxy 2?

Just pre-ordered at Base.com for £45. I still have my original copies of all these games but having them all in one place is the selling point. Would have wanted Galaxy 2 there as well but it would be nice to have it at some point in the near future. I preferred the hub world of the first game personally. Galaxy 1 is still my favorite Mario game

Nintendo charging premium prices for a game they've already released. The pricing for this and donkey kong,when that also released, are a pisstake. If they had bundled 1&2 with it,then there'd be a good enough reason to charge full price. Whats worse is its highlighted more because there are no NEW GAMES to get people excited. I'll pick this up when its half price......in 2025 🙄😏

Re: Team17 Announces Free DLC For Blasphemous - Adds New Game Plus, New Story Content And Much More

I liked this game at first but,for me,it started to become tedious after 20hrs or so.I stopped playing and didn't go back to it. The fast travel points were far too sparse and i just didn't enjoy running from one side of the map to the other numerous times in order to try and progress forward. Its good they're adding free content but i'm not sure i'll go back to it to be honest

@mjharper I'll definitely get back to it as I did enjoy what I'd played,but I've recently finished XC2,a dark souls run and now just started XC2 Torna. I've still got DQ11 and XCDE to play and my kickstarter copy of W101 arrived couple days ago. Paper mario has caught my eye now too!,as well as Ghost of Tsushima,but I may wait on a sale down the line on that one. Looks great though

@playstation_king TLOU2 will be be pushed hard for game of the year by certain influencers and mainstream gaming media so they keep in Sonys good books for access to future titles and inside info and interviews. Theres a reason the sales numbers have fallen through the floor in the second week of release and stores are refusing trade ins for this game. But of course none of this will be made apparent by the same mainstream gaming media and no criticism will be focused toward what Naughty Dog are or how they conduct themselves,because they are essentially Sonys golden goose.They want all the access in future,therefore the mainstream gaming media are not legit and will say what they need to say at the expense of consumers to line their own pockets. The first game was fantastic and rightly regarded as one of the best ever. It didn't need a forced sequel

@mesome713 grow up,there are plenty of people that are genuinely pissed at the direction the game took. a lot of the story makes no sense and a lot if it feels forced. When a developer makes the focus of a game entirely based on an agenda and intentionally destroys everything great about the source material,then it deserves to be criticised by the fans that made it as successful as it's been in the first place. It seems you pay too much attention to mainstream gaming media because they too have labelled anyone critical of the game as the,now default go to response,as far right mysogyist,sexist...blah,blah,blah. The game is not a masterpiece. The first one is and is regarded by many as so. And guess what? Neil Druckmann wasn't a lead writer on the first game. those that were,left Naughty Dog not long after. A clear agenda was at play when they made this game so that tells you everything they were trying to achieve. The ironic thing is? The first game ended perfectly so didn't need a sequel, which made that a masterpiece because it left as many questions as it did answers. Also,how do people explain Sonys blatant double standard of censoring games like DMC5 for an arse shot of a woman,but are completely ok with full on sex scenes in their first party games like TLOU part 2? I'm sure there is a perfectly good progressive explanation this double standard
