Why did they even feel the need to respond, almost like they're trying to justify their own position. This stinks of butthurt. They're not making it easier on themselves for companies to innovate or invest in the UK.

Why are they even commenting on EU matters anyway, didn't they want Brexit? There was no statement from them on approvals from other regions.

Their egos.
The UK CMA has become a lot like SA's FPB who like to get involved with questionable battles and abusing their authority even where it's hardly expected.
They currently have a few cases pending against Apple and Google and some other cases too.

I can't get my head around how to position yourself effectively for classes (Sorcerer/Mage; Rogue/Demon Hunter) that require precision positioning.

Have noooo clue how to explain....
I just think I wanna go there, face that and do this... somehow the toon on the TV just does it.
Muscle memory is of such a manner that I don't even think about "how" it just happens.

That said I can't aim for sht playing FPS on console.
Again 40 years of muscle memory just make it happen using KB + M.

For me its a pain to click to target on the thing I wanna kill when it just dies when I play on console.
 
I played D3 on switch/pro controller, and kind of wouldn't have it any other way. Trying to even remember how D1/D2 worked on PC
 
Going through a bit of a phase. Any suggestions for a decent looter shooter / action RPG?

So far this year I've been busy with Diablo 3, Outer Worlds, Borderlands 3 and Outriders. But I need new content now. Preferably on Game Pass...

Destiny 2? More Looter shooter though but they’re the best at it

Not on Game Pass but Diablo IV is releasing soon.
 
IF you have friends that play, B4Blood is a fun time.

Not to be a nitpicker, but they did tell us everything you see here (Last years E3/XB show) will be available within the next year.
Well June is here next week, and some notable absentees Phil!!

Darktide, Flintlock Siege of Dawn, and Starfield is Late!!

Darktide nothing really dissapoints me, more so than the REDFALL state even.
 
With the playstation showcase tomorrow and the xbox showcase on june 11 I thought it would be interesting to look which first party games both companies have released on console since the launch of the current gen consoles in november 2020. Take a look at all games that arrived for the first time on console, at older console games that were re-released as native current gen versions, remasters or 1:1 remakes, at games that were delayed and at the metacritic scores of all releases. For those interested I also included sale numbers and player numbers which includes subscriptions.

New full game releases that weren`t available on PS/XBOX in some (complete) form before release:

Playstation (12):

  • Marvel`s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5 MC: 85) (6.5 million+ sales)
  • Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS5 MC: 79)
  • Destruction AllStars (PS5 MC: 62)
  • MLB The Show 21 (PS5 MC: 78) (4 million+ players)*
  • Returnal (PS5 MC: 86) (560 thousand+ sales)
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5 MC: 88) (1.1 million+ sales)
  • Horizon Forbidden West (PS5 MC: 88) (8.4 million+ sales)

  • Horizon Call of the Mountain (PS5 MC: 79)
  • MLB The Show 23 (PS5 MC: 82)*
*Includes three entries of a sport franchise with yearly releases

85 + 79 + 62 + 78 + 86 + 88 + 88 + 87 + 77 + 94 + 79 + 82 = 985 : 12 = 82,08 = 82 average rating

Honorable mention, because it is a short game that is pre-installed on every PS5 console:

Astro`s Playroom (PS5 MC: 83)

85 + 79 + 62 + 78 + 86 + 88 + 88 + 87 + 77 + 94 + 79 + 82 + 83 = 1068 : 13 = 82,15 = 82 average rating

With PC only title:

82 + 90 + 87 + 92 + 87 + 77 + 82 + 86 + 87 + 86 + 71 + 56 + 81 = 1064 : 13 = 81,85 = 82 average rating

Interesting.

Xbox last year revisited lots of old games and did "FPS boost" to increase frame rates and in some cases resolutions of quite a long list of older games including XB360 games. Did PS do anything similar?

So, as an xbot I just watched the PS showcase here at work.

uhm....ja. SPIDERMAN :sneaky:

Good call by Sony to get it out and done, with a bit of a window to let it fade away before XBOX brings the BFG's
