The 2025 Video Game News Thread (I was forced by anti-innovation communists to change the title again)

The fortnite-ification of extra embarrassing when they just put some random eurotrash dj no one has ever heard of in the big street fighter crossover game. I had a great time with the game during the playtest but they’re making it easy to not care about the game.

Salvatore is a justice-dealing Artist who has arrived in South Town looking for inspiration to help finish his latest (and hopefully greatest) anime music video.

There has never been a game more destined for the bargain bin.

Ability to turn off a minimap is so welcome. I wish it was standard on any game pushing them.

I like the task tracker they’re implementing to stay on top of things and help make connections without like, literally creating footsteps to follow on your screen and minimap.

Yeah I like diagetic ways of leading the player when the world design can’t do it alone. At least you’ll still look at the world and try to think it through.

I wish the markers you placed in BOTW and TOTK were visible in the world like in Skyward Sword, but they’re probably that way because of the minimap. But if they were in the world, I wouldn’t have to open up the full map so often to reorient myself after getting distracted.

Weren’t they there as colored light pillars or something? Might be misremembering things…

Only if you look through the binoculars thingy where you can place them, but that’s zoomed way in.

Really, anything less than 95.1 is disrespectful.

94 seems to be the de facto “Essentially perfect” score for PC Gamer.

Caves of Qud got the same score. And Norco officially got a 94 after the reviewer stated they filed with a perfect score (I assume 100?).

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood today, but almost everything shown on this show looks terrible.
