The best Souls-like not made by FromSoftware, Lies of P has now sold over three million copies since its 2023 release.
To celebrate, all members of the Round8 Studio development team will be rewarded with a two-week holiday, a bonus of 10 million KRW (~£5,400 / $7,300), and a Nintendo Switch 2.
I appreciate this way of doing business. I may even buy Lies of P now because of it. Where your money goes it's literally the only leverage we have as consumers to make a difference in an industry we all have an opinion about. Withholding it or spending it in the right places is about all we can do.
This is fire. Just like the game. I haven't gotten the dlc yet, but im really thinking about it. I just thought it ended great, I really want to see what they do with Dorothy. Will you fight the Tinman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and Wizard of Oz? Maybe Toto's with us, that'd be fire.

The Borderlands 4 Story trailer dropped at Borderlands 4 Fan Fest. Here’s everything we learned about the story, characters, and gameplay.
I'm not sure this list is complete without mentioning one of, or collectively, the thousands of pieces of useless crap in an Elder Scrolls game or Fallout 3.
I immediately thought of toilet paper in FFVII. Conspiracy theories abounded over that one. Spent hours trying to give it to that indisposed gentleman in Rocket Town.
List is kinda weak though.
SF's Vega? Halo's Needler? MGS's cigs? Castlevania's daggers?
All highly useful if you know how.
I always like to be reminded about Shenmue, such a great game , i spent hours just playing Hang On and Space Harrier in the arcade on that game. The Capsules were pretty useless though.
I thought they would have included the Crocodile Cap from MGS3: Snake Eater. I could never find a single situation in which enemy soldiers were near enough to a lake or other body of water and I could use the cap to disguise as a crocodile and go in for a stealth kill. The idea is cool, but its totally useless.
The cigarettes proved more useful in MGS4; they depleted health but restored Old Snake's Psyche.
Has the most useles items in any video game ever. tongs, plates, knifes, forks, shears, etc.
