10 RPGs That Get A Lot Darker Halfway Through

The Outer Worlds is a quirky game made by Obsidian with a lot of comedy. Under the jokes and sharp dialogue, though, is a sad world on the brink of falling apart. As the "hero" of the story, you must choose how you want to deal with the dark problems plaguing the galaxy you now call home.


The facts are very simple - this is a PS4 game we’re being told not to play on the PS4. Scratch that, it’s a triple-A PS4 game with a huge hype cycle and massive marketing campaign that we’re being told not to play on PS4. You can still buy it, of course. I don’t know if the PS Store can detect the difference between a PS4 and a PS4 Pro, but putting out a tweet essentially saying "you can buy this, but don’t," is horrifically anti-consumer. There are definitely players who are going to buy this on their regular PS4s - PS5s are notoriously hard to get and for literally every other game, the standard PS4 works. I know, I had the base version of the console last gen and had zero issues with its performance aside from it running a little loud. These players will be buying it because if they want to play Cyberpunk 2077, they have no other options, and they might not have even seen the tweet telling them not to. It’s reasonable for a player to assume that if a game is available to buy on the PS4, it will work on the PS4. We should be outraged that CDPR and Sony are selling these folk an unplayable experie


No Man’s Sky was a victim of hype, as it was possibly the most talked-about indie title in gaming history. Being a case of not following through with their promises, which is a problem that happens way too often in the video game industry, Hello Games promised the world, or more specifically, the infinite unive


However, many gamers felt that EA managed to make the series even worse with the sequel , and more of a grind to play through than anything. When the game was first released, Resource it made fans so angry that it had a 0.4 user score on Metacritic, as everything was pay to win and all of fans’ favorite characters, such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, were locked behind paywa


This is where that outrage comes back into play. I don’t want it to be expressed with death threats to developers , or in the whiny caricature of gamers we see snapping video game discs while frothing at the mouth to stick it to the man. There has also been a huge anti-journalist culture that the Cyberpunk fanbase has leaned into - for obvious reasons, I think we should avoid that too. I don’t want to encourage people to get more angry about this game that in truth has never come close to delivering on its potential even months later, but we should not stand for Sony selling us a game on PS4 while telling us not to play it on a PS4. It’s ludicr


'Anti-consumer' is a phrase used a lot in gaming, and not always accurately. It's not anti-consumer that Nintendo doesn't support Smash Melee tournaments, for example, and while locking story content behind DLC is awfully money grubbing, I'm not sure it's technically 'anti-consumer'. Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 undoubtedly is, however. It's a PS4 game being sold on PS4 while the PS4 makers tell you not to play it on the PS4. I know we're all bored of talking about Cyberpunk 2077 by now, but this seems to be sneaking under the radar. It's disgraceful that our industry allows it, and it's a worrying sign of the growing divide between the players and the suits out to make a quick b


The developers knew how broken the game was, as they didn’t let YouTube reviewers show their own footage, but instead footage that was sent to them by the developer. It was way too ambitious for its own good, and with every delay, the hype just built and built. Though mods have made it better in the time since its release, CD Projekt became the subject of several class-action lawsuits and it massively damaged their reputation in the indus


The game was a grind, which is somewhat typical for EA releases. On top of that, it was so buggy that it ironically worked out in the player’s favor, as it saw players be able to start out with the most powerful weapon, meaning gamers didn’t have to purchase EA’s treacherous loot bo


Silicon Dreams is a tremendous detective game. The way you grill these androids for information is highly engaging. I was surprised many times by the responses I got from my interrogations and the narrative continued to get more and more compelling as I went on. If the idea of delving into the minds of androids to see what makes them tick sounds like a fun time, then you should experience the dystopian nightmare that is Silicon Dre


WWE 2K20 was so disastrous upon its release that Sony started offering refunds to those who bought it for the PlayStation 4, and a Reddit post complaining about the game quickly received 11,000 upvotes. There are so many hilarious examples of the bugs out mentioned online, from character models that look like they’d fit better in Silent Hill , to wrestlers inadvertently crawling around in the r
