Gaming Enthusiast:
Many of the norms we take for granted in video games are completely ridiculous indeed. Have a look at some of the most oddball ones.
Silent Hill 2 remake will be exclusive to the PS5 until October 8, 2025, so don't expect an Xbox port or announcement it expires.
why does it feel like we are living in the early 00's again? Sony paying for either full exclusivity or timed was the thing back in the day... and its been 'remastered' for this generation.
The original SH2 was PS2-exclusive for only a few months. Remastered version is exclusive for over a year lol.
But both companies played the timed exclusives game for so long so it’s no surprise.
Sony is the king of paying for exclusives. Anytime Xbox does it Sony fans go berserk. But when the shoes on the other foot they flop like a fish out of water.
Two fold publishers look at the loss in sales due to exclusivity and given how little Xbox sells in general Sony's generally able to get a greenlight for this behaviour if they fund it.
Microsoft think buying punishers is acceptable but they dug a huge financial hole as a result
Nintendo is just Nintendo and don't care
Yeah it's not like Xbox paid for exclusivity for games like Ark 2, Stalker 2, Warhammer Darktide or anything like that right? Oh wait.....
Just because that's the announced end doesn't guarantee it will be coming to xbox at that point or ever to be honest.
And even if it does it'll be an inferior version without the haptics and the Tempest audio which I expect will be a huge part in setting the mood in a game like this.

CGM got a very extended hands-on look at Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and it looks like BioWare has made good use of the last ten years.
Graphically it could look better as I’m not a big fan of the WoW color palette but the gameplay and rpg elements look good. The graphics are decent enough that I can look past them if the gameplay makes up for it. In no way do I think it looks awful just not my kind of art style
Looks fine to me. Not super Current Gen graphically, but that's fine. Well, except for that hair physics. That's actually pretty current gen. But as long as it has a good main story, plenty of choices for the player to make and it's not bloated with crappy fetch quests like the third one, this should be good to go.
The reality is that aside from MAYBE Dragon's Age Origins, this series has never been that good. Fun, sure, but great? Far from it. So they certainly have their work cut out for them. And I get it. This is certainly not the old OLD - pre Knights even- Bioware we're talking about here and they sure are hell ain't Larian Studios. But if they can get close enough to Baldur's Gate 3 or at the very least Origins, then that's a win right there.
At least, when it comes to the Art Direction, this is certainly the most appealing Dragon's Age. With the second one coming a close second, character wise at least, but falling WAY short on account of being a half baked game in every respect. The first one being an abhorrent looking abomination, even when it came out, and the Third one being Good Looking but generic as fuck.
So we'll see.
Can’t wait for all the game “journalists” to start singing praises for this game only for gamers to find it sucks.
Number 10 isn't ridiculous and a basic understanding of the human mind..
ten minutes of running around killing shit?..no problem..
five hours?...you physically get exhausted and emotionally..
of course this is literally represented with "harder" bosses..just because it would be hard to actually imprint that onto the player..
all the player has to do is turn off the video game if they get tired..
imagine a game where you CAN'T turn off without losing som...
wait..*thinks of Dark Souls*
my point is made..
'In video games, cars are easier to explode than a Parkinsons patient holding a bottle of nitroglycerin'
That's just soooo damn funny and wrong (guilty laughter ensues)
Whenever I misplaced my cellphone in the house, I would ask my sister to give a missed call. Then it would made a sound and flashes so I can find it easier...
Wait...a ridiculous gaming norm happened in real life! An actual glowing item when you search for it!
As for cars in games, they really are ridiculously sensitive things. I've always cringed watching how easily parked cars explode in BF3's first gameplay trailer and even more so once released. I do give cars in Fallout 3 a pass though since they are essentially powered by nukes. Their tiny mushroom clouds death are so cute to watch and feel appropriate in the game's overall post-apocalyptic theme.
