That 3% could be a rounding error, "most" implies a much bigger difference, the title should say that half gamers prefer singleplayer games.

Saw this article before and the title is very misleading. 53% is barely "most", and the biggest takeaway from it is that gamers age 16-24 greatly prefer multiplayer games while people aged 25-34 prefer multiplayer as much as singleplayer. Those age groups are probably most of the market.

Nice to see good reviews after the bad first impression of the gameplay they showed. Maybe I will pick this up after all

Silent Hill 2 was an essential title more than 20 years ago, and it remains so today with this magnificent remake. ------------- **[CGMagazine](https://opencritic.com/outlet/82/cgmagazine)** - [9 / 10](https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/silent-hill-2-remake-ps5-review/) >Bloober Team has crafted a Silent Hill 2 remake that respects the original while delivering a fresh, terrifying experience. ------------- **[Checkpoint Gaming](https://opencritic.com/outlet/563/checkpoint-gaming)** - [Luke Mitchell](https://opencritic.com/critic/4403/luke-mitchell) - [9 / 10](https://checkpointgaming.net/reviews/2024/10/silent-hill-2-review-there-was-a-hole-here/) >The remake of Silent Hill 2 walks a fine line between honouring a beloved original and innovating for both new and returning audiences. It does so with incredible success, landing clever changes to its puzzles and cleverly expanded environments that enhance the game, rather than detracting from it or over-stuffing it. Ultimately, this remake never loses sight of what makes Silent Hill 2 such a memorable experience in the first place: its ability to get under your skin, and stay there. It's truly delightful to share that the Silent Hill 2 remake is a polished, fitting homage, and a celebration of one of horror's greatest masterpieces. ------------- **[Eurogamer](https://opencritic.com/outlet/114/eurogamer)** - [Vikki Blake](https://opencritic.com/critic/2833/vikki-blake) - [5 / 5](https://www.eurogamer.net/silent-hill-2-remake-review) >Against the odds, Bloober Team has delivered a remake that both expands Silent Hill 2 in just the right places, and gives careful attention to what it preserves. ------------- **[GRYOnline.pl](https://opencritic.com/outlet/559/gryonline-pl)** - [Sebastian Kasparek](https://opencritic.com/critic/3746/sebastian-kasparek) - *Polish* - [6 / 10](https://www.gry-online.pl/recenzje/silent-hill-2-recenzja-gry-w-nowym-wydaniu-znaczna-czesc-magii-be/zd46a2) >As a regular representative of the genre the new Silent Hill 2 is quite good, and should deliver lots of fun to gamers that like this kind of games. But as a remake of one of the most important horror games in history this new version looks extremely mediocre, which in my eyes is a greater crime than making a simply bad game. ------------- **[Game Rant](https://opencritic.com/outlet/60/game-rant)** - [Dalton Cooper](https://opencritic.com/critic/260/dalton-cooper) - [9 / 10](https://gamerant.com/silent-hill-2-remake-review/) >The Silent Hill 2 remake is absolutely an incredible horror gaming experience that successfully expands on the beloved original. ------------- **[GameSpot](https://opencritic.com/outlet/32/gamespot)** - [Mark Delaney](https://opencritic.com/critic/1704/mark-delaney) - [9 / 10](https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/silent-hill-2-remake-review-born-from-a-wish/1900-6418296/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f) >Remaking one of the most revered horror games ever is no simple task, but Bloober Team impressively rebottles the magic of the 2001 genre landmark. ------------- **[Gamepressure](https://opencritic.com/outlet/870/gamepressure)** - [Zbigniew Woźnicki ](https://opencritic.com/critic/9111/zbigniew-wo-nicki-) - [6.5 / 10](https://www.gamepressure.com/editorials/reviews/silent-hill-2-review-game-stuck-between-old-and-newschool/ze734) >The story and character models are something I can live with. Unless someone is a purist, then the game will certainly make them lose interest very quickly. In my opinion, however, the biggest sins of Silent Hill 2 are the extensive exploration, which eventually becomes tiresome, and the untapped potential of combat. ------------- **[GamesRadar+](https://opencritic.com/outlet/91/gamesradar-)** - [Leon Hurley](https://opencritic.com/critic/984/leon-hurley) - [3.5 / 5 ](https://www.gamesradar.com/games/survival-horror/silent-hill-2-remake-review/) >Does a good job of making the series feel relevant in a way it hasn't for years. ------------- **[GamingTrend](https://opencritic.com/outlet/102/gamingtrend)** - [Henry Viola](https://opencritic.com/critic/9816/henry-viola) - [90 / 100](https://gamingtrend.com/feature/reviews/silent-hill-2-review-inner-fears-and-restless-dreams/) >If you had any doubts about the Silent Hill 2 remake, then throw them out the window because Bloober Team cooked with this one.

The pressure to overcome the odds must have been crippling, but the team has successfully captured the soul of the original and has modernized it with care, resulting in a must-play entry for the series that has been long dormant. > >From the stunning visuals to the haunting atmosphere and even the immersive audio design, the Silent Hill 2 Remake is a definite addition to gaming libraries everywhere, as its psychological spin on the genre is a testament to the legacy it left behind. ------------- **[Press Start](https://opencritic.com/outlet/491/press-start)** - [James Mitchell](https://opencritic.com/critic/3659/james-mitchell) - [9 / 10](https://press-start.com.au/reviews/ps5-reviews/2024/10/04/silent-hill-2-remake-review-a-tense-and-terrifying-affair/) >Silent Hill 2 is a great remake that captures the essence of the original game, expanding it in all the right ways without ruining the spirit of the original. While this is easily the best game Bloober has ever made, and perhaps even their scariest, simplistic combat is the only thing that keeps this horror epic from reaching its true potential. Regardless, this Silent Hill 2 remake is everything you could hope for and more, and hopefully, a sign of great things to come for the series. It's a clever and inventive expansion of the original that you wouldn't know you needed……until now. ------------- **[Push Square](https://opencritic.com/outlet/25/push-square)** - [Liam Croft](https://opencritic.com/critic/1009/liam-croft) - [9 / 10](https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps5/silent-hill-2) >Bloober Team has faithfully and respectfully recreated one of the survival horror genre's all-time greats, modernising Silent Hill 2 in all the right ways. ------------- **[Sirus Gaming](https://opencritic.com/outlet/409/sirus-gaming)** - [Jarren Navarrete](https://opencritic.com/critic/4365/jarren-navarrete) - [10 / 10](https://sirusgaming.com/silent-hill-2-2024-review/) >The Silent Hill 2 remake is one of the best horror games I've played to recent date. I couldn't find a single thing I disliked about it. With the use of the PlayStation 5 hardware to deliver a more immersive experience, I found playing this Silent Hill 2 remake to do justice to the original and then some. ------------- **[TheGamer](https://opencritic.com/outlet/731/thegamer)** - [James Kennedy](https://opencritic.com/critic/9644/james-kennedy) - [3.5 / 5 ](https://www.thegamer.com/silent-hill-2-review/) >Bloober Team’s version of Silent Hill 2 often feels like a high fidelity version of the original with remixed puzzles and item locations. The combat is reasonably satisfying, the boss encounters have been improved, but what is fundamentally a great horror game is partially undermined by the over-the-top sound design, injection of jump scares, and general lack of restraint. ------------- **[VG247](https://opencritic.com/outlet/549/vg247)** - [Kelsey Raynor](https://opencritic.com/critic/8840/kelsey-raynor) - [5 / 5 ](https://www.vg247.com/silent-hill-2-review) >Bloober Team… You made me happy, and after playing Silent Hill 2, I am eager to see what the studio does alongside Konami in future.

It stays faithful to the original (to a fault at times) but breathes enough new life into it to simultaneously ensure that long-time fans will appreciate the respect shown, while newcomers won't find it antiquated. ------------- **[Wccftech](https://opencritic.com/outlet/304/wccftech)** - [Chris Wray](https://opencritic.com/critic/1264/chris-wray) - [9 / 10](https://wccftech.com/review/silent-hill-2-restless-dreams-town/) >Silent Hill 2 is the best game Bloober Team has made. A faithful reimagining of the original, bringing it to the modern day without losing what made the original the best horror game ever, using modern game mechanics to improve where they could, and expanding on what was already an engrossing world. Without any shadow of a doubt, a resounding success, one that will likely come as a surprise to many. -------------

FPS. I actually haven't liked a single MOBA before I tried Deadlock, I've always thought they were too punishing and needed tons of knowledge while combat was weirdly slow paced until the late game. Deadlock fixes these problems for me just by being always fun to play, and you can kind of get away with just following a popular build and shooting enemies without really understanding what you're doing.

It's not currently down, it seems to be deleted entirely. This was said on the Discord:
“Yesterday, gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it’s safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure.
These words are my own. I don’t want to speak for anyone else here, so just remember that while reading.
Thank you to @everyone who has contributed code, documentation or issue reports to the project. Thank you all for following us throughout the development. I was able to learn a lot of really neat things about games that I love, enjoy them with renewed qualities and in unique circumstances, and I’m sure you all have experiences that are similarly special. I’m extending my own massive thanks to our moderation team, who have been here through some rough circumstances and always found ways to make light of it.”

They're just not as popular as they used to be, and there are so many players on console nowadays. I can't imagine playing an RTS with a controller.
Age of Empires seems to be doing really well though. The first 3 games got great remasters, and AoE 4 is well received from what I understand.

Not every movie has to be a blockbuster, but it is very apparent that mid-scale movies have disappeared from the market. Usually now a movie is a 100+ million dollar behemoth that wants to take the entire box office, or a movie is a low budget straight to Netflix special that has a 5/10 average rating and nobody wants to talk about it.
All things considered, $20m isn't bad considering the series is at an all time low. The 2019 bombed hard and I can see why people are hesitant to invest in Hellboy after that. Godzilla Minus One had a ~$15M budget and that movie was very ambitious and well-done I think.

I don't know if there's a source specifically for this but when I often get stuck and start repeating myself I look up Merriam Webster's thesaurus and start replacing boring words with better ones.
So rather than say something like awesome I'd say a word like marvelous, lovely, etc.

Yeah there's a reason there hasn't been much interested in Xbone emulation, almost everything worth emulating has gotten PC ports over the years or is also on PS3 which does have a good emulator. Maybe if Sunset Overdrive was still a console exclusive I'd bother, but I guess this is cool for some peeps.

They must've accidentally implemented a feature to get and show image from the newest news post (which is often an ad), accidentally tested and vetted that feature, and accidentally pushed it.

I don't know, it's a bit hard to assume this was an accident and just a poorly implemented feature. It does cover the screen with the most recent news post, but that's often an ad, and even on first-party titles like Horizon it just covers the screen with a giant ad for the upcoming lego horizon.
At best it was a feature to shove game news into everyone's face with no way to turn it off.

So are you just going to run around this community posting this same comment whenever something happens?

Wow, this is *awful*. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now... Edit: Playstation Product Manager says [this is actually a new bug](https://xcancel.com/dshiatt/status/1840822267737162237). I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

Yeah a lot of people miss the fact that the play for Twitter was never about money, but control. Owning one of the most popular social medias makes it easy to spread propaganda and amplify your voice.
After so many years... They made a 20 minute sequel to Llamas with Hats (well, epilogue technically).
Anyone who hasn't played this game has no excuse now. It's my personal GOTY.
