Forspoken's world just felt dead in the demo.
One reviewer said in the main game he only met one NPC (merchant) outside of the capital city.

I called Forspoken out when the hype train left the station. It really did not convince me when it was showcased many times. I would like to try it out though one day if it gets on ps plus. But to each's own, if you enjoy the game , please do.

The non stop talking didn't bother me that much since you can turn it down in the settings but the story and the world itself are so bad.
If you're not dealing with the really generic story then you're either dealing with the barren world or the NPCs that run on chatGPT dialogue.
The only thing that entertained me in the demo were the parkour once i got the hang of it and sometimes the combat but didn't entertain me to the point where i'd even consider buying the game.

The Last of Us HBO Series Drove 238 Percent Jump in PlayStation Game's UK Sales
According to GamesIndustry.biz, the game's 2022 PS5 remake, The Last of Us Part 1, reentered the UK sales charts at the No. 20 spot after a 238% jump in sales for the week of January 21, 2023. Its PS4 predecessor, The Last of Us: Remastered, also saw a sizeable boost with a 322% sales bump that placed it at No. 32.Perhaps the least surprising detail is that those numbers coincide with the first episode of its live-action The Last of Us series, which debuted on January 15. The UK data only reflects physical sales, so the number of viewers who rushed to play Joel and Ellie's story through PlayStation's digital storefront remain an unknown.
Despite the boost, The Last of Us lost out to heavy hitters like newer PlayStation titles and the usual Nintendo staples. Last week's tactical Switch RPG, Fire Emblem Engage, debuted at the number one spot. While 2022 releases like God of War Ragnarok, Pokemon Violet and Scarlet, and FIFA 23 occupied other top ten boxed sales spots.
But The Last of Us has more than reinvigorated sales data to its name. Its first episode broke records over at HBO, with more than 4.7 million viewers tuning in for the premiere. That makes the video game adaptation HBO's second-best debut in the last decade, only beaten by the Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon.

The Last of Us is drawing a crowd on more than just HBO as the PS4 and PS5 versions also make big gains on the UK sales charts.

They will probably remake the remake to update the characters to look more like the tv show characters...The Last of Us HBO Series Drove 238 Percent Jump in PlayStation Game's UK Sales

I can't wait for the poor reception to be blamed on a mixture of racism and sexism.
You know its coming.
Stupid will stupid.

Exactly. But they are running out of monikers so will probably call it The last of us Part 1 Enhanced Game of the year edition Part 1 :-/

The thing I hate about The Last of Us TV show is I knew how the story would start and I know how it's gonna end, unless they change the story. Also, if the show is successful, I hope they don't do what the game did in Part 2.

Microsoft serves Sony a subpoena in preparation for impending FTC lawsuit
In a high-stakes legal move, Microsoft has served Sony Interactive Entertainment with a subpoena as it prepares to defend itself in an impending antitrust lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).For those not in the know, Microsoft is expecting to fight an imminent legal battle with the US government’s Federal Trade Commission on the grounds that its acquisition of Activision Blizzard would “suppress competitors” to an unlawful extent. A recent court filing, shared by Axios’ Stephen Totilo on Twitter(opens in new tab), has revealed that Microsoft has now subpoenaed Sony in an effort to build a sturdy legal case to defend its interests.
A subpoena is a legal writ ordering an individual or corporation to either attend a court hearing or produce documentation in advance of that hearing. According to the court filing, Microsoft wants Sony to offer up details of PlayStation’s game production pipeline to help strengthen its case.
Oh dear! So MS wants Sony to reveal their secret sauce?

Dunno, seems fair to me.
Sony: MS can't buy XYZ cos that will destroy our ability to sell games on our platform.
MS: Really? Please show the court why you say that.

MS is really getting desperate here.
I don't think that is what Sony is saying. It's about anti-competitive behavior i.e. buying up very popular IP that is available across multiple platforms and then making it exclusive.
Got nothing to do with confidential information having to be handed over to a competitor who is actually buying up IP because their own pipeline of games has been so poor.

I'm about 15 hours or so into GoW Ragnarok, and I must admit, I'm a little disappointed. Feel like the writing is a bit childish at time, the bosses so far have been lame af and the mobs are very samey, with little variety. At times it feels like a copy-paste job of the 2018 game. It almost feels like a DLC/expansion pack. Hoping things improve as I get deeper into the game...

The thing that's missing is the sense of newness and originality that the original had.
I'm still enjoying it though - there are a few new thing's to discover - and there are some vrek hard bosses as you get further in....
The ice freeze puzzles are new (and neat) and of course the old fave (those 'roots') are still there in addition to a new axe throwing mechanic.
Hoping it goes on sale some time in the next 6 months, probably wishful thinking
