    I don't see how they could with how much hype and discussion there was across the internet. Everyone was talking about it and most saying they were going to get one.

    To think it wasn't going to be a huge hit is crazy

    It worked great for the Index 7 years ago, baffled they didn't use it when they've had and used it for so long

    I was really looking forward to getting them, I had plans for couch co-op with the lady cause she's expressed interest in some of that. I thought these would be perfect, and was waiting for them, which originally were to be released in Q1, then delayed due to the Ram issues for the Machine and Frame.

    But they finally put these out and Im ready to go, and then this shit happens.

    Who knows how long it'll take them to restock. It could be months or longer. I've been waiting since they announced all this back in what November I think? And now waiting yet again.

    I think furious is justified when its an issue that shouldn't have been a problem. They do thousands of payment transactions every day, for decades now, this should not be a pain point for this kind of thing.

    And they already had a system in place for queuing they used for the Index and the decks, why didn't they utilize that to cut down on the server load?? Lot of balls dropped here for no reason

    I am furious, I had two in my cart and was stuck with the damn payment error. People online were saying to keep spamming continue and it'll work.

    I did this for the entire 30+ minutes until the error changed to say the items were sold out.

    Such fucking bullshit. How did they not anticipate the server load needed? And why did they not do a queue like they did for the Index and decks??

    Such a waste of time. I was so looking forward to getting these and now who knows when they'll come.

    I'm wondering if it's just the controller since the other two devices are heavily impacted by the RAM situation. It seemed like they were all going to release together but it would make sense for them to split this off now and release the others later when they've figured that out

    Was not expecting to see a sequel to this but I'm excited for it. Trailer looks cool. I enjoyed the first game, very interested to see what they do with a second.

    I don't understand how people don't see solar is more efficient and cost effective than any fossil fuel forms of energy. Not to mention the significant decrease in damage to the planet

    Finished Prison Escape Simulator yesterday. It was so much fun. I don't know what it is about these low budget, silly, simulator games but they have an addictive gameplay loop and this one was a lot of fun. Something about digging a big hole and getting loot and selling it to upgrade your tools/stats. It's simple and highly effective and entertaining.

    The only part that sucked was I was doing one of the challenges where you have to do it in one shot and can't save, and had a bug where the guard came back earlier than the timer when I was 80% complete so I had to do the whole thing again. Which takes like 2-3 hours to do in one go

    This is the dumbest take. People want to play games, a majority don't care how. If you put your games everywhere you reach the widest audience. Who cares if it's on Steam or PS5? They shouldn't worry about "their ecosystem" they should worry about how many people are playing their games. And they're losing a massive player base by doing this.

    How is there not a supercut of just the dropout parts of this episode yet? From what everyone is saying the episode isn't worth watching if you aren't a fan of the show already, so if you just want to see the dropout parts, I expected someone would have cut together those scenes by now.

    I don't just mean the description of the movie. I meant the reason why someone is saying this movie is worth watching. What makes this movie worthy of being on this list and worth people giving it a shot. Sometimes the hook in the description might be enough, but usually it isn't.

    The thing I hate with lists like these is that it's just the title. Which is not enough to go on. I wish they would give a brief one sentence description of WHY this movie deserves to be on here. Is it a gut wrenching story about a family's loss or a unique premise or setting that hasn't been done before. Or an example of the best of its type of genre.

    Not everyone is going to like every film and I guarantee any random person you picked wouldn't like every single movie on this list. I would be surprised to find a single person who loved every single one of these films if they watched them all.

    There's plenty of films people swear by and I watch and hate it or films that the majority hate but I love. People have different opinions and titles aren't enough to tell if it's something worth looking into for your personal tastes.
