Astro Bot Isn't A Celebration, It's A Graveyard

It's hard to feel excited by all these cameos when they represent long dead and abandoned series.

I agree that Sony should bring back a lot of their older franchises, but this is quite a bleak way to view Astrobot.

Exactly! I want to ask the writer, "who hurt you?" to have such a glass half empty attitude!

harv052281d ago

Yeah it's a very poor take on AstroBot...I swear all these so called gaming publications seek negativity in everything these days...

BlackTar187281d ago

Gaming journalism is dead unfortunately.

It’s all engagement farming

RaiderNation281d ago

@BlackTart187

Here's a perfect example of what you're talking about. Here's a quote from the Kotaku review...

"I cried at the end of Astrobot".

Lmao!!! It's a frickin' platformer starring a robot!! How f_cking emotionally fragile do you have to be to cry at the end of that?? I think the reviewer is full of shit, but even if they're not...just wow! These people!

It is thegamer.com, clickbait titles is their bread and butter.

Amplitude281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

It's Thegamer.
There's 3 or 4 sites here that always post the most annoying clickbait garbage opinion pieces disguised as articles, and TheGamer is one of them.

Not quite mp1st bad imo, but close. Really wish N4G had a personal blacklist feature

@Outside_ofthe_Box.
Please tell me what about my comment landed on one side or the other.

@romulus23
Who said cameos was an issue? He said smash would be the ultimate graveyard...how given it has no where the character count.

Nice little read and I really hope it rings true.

It is not every day that I get to read an article pointing to a videogame that is releasing on PC, PlayStation, and XBox and another game published by Bandai Namco as proof of Sony's return to "quirky games."

Sony does need to return to their roots but since they've closed most of their studios that took those risks it will not be easy. It would also be nice to return to those times where we go more than 1 new first-party exclusive a year. It is hard to take risks if you are only releasing 1 game a year.

Playstation owners buy games.

Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.

InUrFoxHole50d ago

Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.

Bathyj50d ago

Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.

The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.

Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.

andy8550d ago

Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)

@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”

This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.

ravens5250d ago

InUrFoxHole, its wild that you think that's wild lmao. 🤯. You buy your food from the grocery store?? Ugggh. You should get Factor. Who pays for food anymore when you can pay a subscription to receive food for "free". Disgusting.

Sound stupid? It is.

InUrFoxHole50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

@Bathy
That's some cope there. You think the healthiest console is the one that doesn't even provide their gamers with their exclusive games? That crazy talk man. The healthiest is Nintendo and that's 💯 not even a debate. MS provides gamers with games. Sony provides you with MS games. Enjoy

@andy
You have broke brain. Gamepass isn't free. It's a sub service. Jesus n4g knows how to pick'em

andy8549d ago

@InUrFoxHole notice I put free in ' ' these? Doesn't take a genius. Every game that comes out on Xbox you'll see this comment "is this coming to gamepass".

2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.

This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.

badz14950d ago

The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!

dveio50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Hogwart's, Indiana, Astro Bot & Monster Hunter - that's a pretty nice top 4 once again.

I bet MachineGames are quite happy about the sales pouring in.
