Not needing to play a fantasy sport game or a school simulator were all a good thing about Hogwarts Legacy. I usually ignore both when shoehorned into a game
Story, combat and exploration is what I cared about.
I got what I wanted, so great that now the people who want to play a sports game in the HP universe will get their turn. But not for me.
Loved the game. I'll decide depending what other RPG out at the time of release
I played it as a handheld game on my Steamdeck. Great game for on the go (even at 11W TDP limit) or at the Hotel after a long day at work. Not stressful and fun.
I rented the main game - and enjoyed it enough to finish it. Newark getting trashed in a game by a New Yorker is priceless. Should have done some Boston jokes also 😄
More story content (tons more) that is what I want. Zero need for a Metro system.
Most PC gamers not judging Cyberpunk based on a PS4 version they did not play... same way most PS5 owners today not judging a game because it runs like garbage on a Switch.
Tried Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty last night for a bit and enjoyed it. I did WeMOD the hell out of it 😅 so playing it more like an action game on "hard".
I could have replayed Metroid Prime "HD" on Dolphin at any point in the last decade. Never saw any reason to do so... a Switch rehash is not changing that.
I do still have Metroid Prime 4 on Preorder since 2018... make something new and you get my cash.

Re: Gallery: Is Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores the Best Looking Game Ever?
100%... stunning. It is going to be a pleasure to explore every inch of the world.
Simply amazing what Sony is doing right now.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores?
hell yeah... Stayed up till 12AM EST to play it 😅
Loved everything I have played so far. Also one of the most stunning games in HDR I have played.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy, PS5's Spellbinding Harry Potter Spin-Off, Massively Exceeded Sales Expectations
Well deserved. Tons of fun and well worth the price of admission. Massively exceeded my expectations also.
See how the TV show turns out.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West DLC Burning Shores Up for Pre-Load Now on PS5
Left it on this morning before heading to work, said it was on the download list... almost here, cleared my schedule for the weekend.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's New PC Update Is a Glimpse of the Future for Game Graphics
I'll check it out when the story DLC comes out. Day 1 for me
Always great to see the industry moving forward. Give artist the best digital canvas possible.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Strong PS5 Sales Put The Last of Us 2, Gran Turismo 7 Back in the Top 10
God of War Ragnarok one of the best games I played in 2022 and Hogwarts Legacy one of the best in 2023.
Great to see them both on the chart.
Re: PS5 Accounts for Over Half of All Console Sales in the UK This Year
Sony's Steamroller for another generation. It deserves the sales, they made a fantastic piece of tech.
Re: Capcom Opens Huge Motion Capture Facility to 'Further Strengthen' Its Games
Nice. Upgrade all the tools available to the creative teams - keep moving forward. Blow the doors off the next Monster Hunter on PS5
Re: PSA: Persona 5 Royal's Massive £50/$60 DLC Bundle Is Free Right Now on PS4 in Europe, US
Nice... 2nd try is the charm!
Re: Talking Point: Would You Care About a PS5 Remote Play Handheld?
Release a dedicated app for Steamdeck. Or let owners use it over a browser like GeforceNOW and xCloud.
No need for Sony hardware. Just release on what is already out.
Re: One Piece Odyssey DLC Reunion of Memories Announced for PS5, PS4
Loved the game. I'll decide depending what other RPG out at the time of release
I played it as a handheld game on my Steamdeck. Great game for on the go (even at 11W TDP limit) or at the Hotel after a long day at work. Not stressful and fun.
Well worth a play if a fan of Turn-Based jRPGs
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game in March 2023?
Wo Long
I have RE4 (2014) somewhere in my Steam library. Good enough.
Re: Random: Today Is Horizon Protagonist Aloy's Birthday
Nice... Have the DLC on pre-order.
I'll start playing a bit after Easter - hunt a bit and collect resource to get back into the game before the DLC hits.
With Burning Shores + SWJ: Survivor, this month is fantastic for me.
Re: PSA: Persona 5 Royal's Massive £50 DLC Bundle Is Free Right Now on PS4 in Europe
@RawnDawn @NEStalgia
Na, Updated my post... It says owned when I check and have a receipt in my email but it wont actually download. So not sure you missed anything.
Re: PSA: Persona 5 Royal's Massive £50 DLC Bundle Is Free Right Now on PS4 in Europe
Was Showing up in the USA store on the Mobile App,.. but did not actually work in the end
You still rock PushSquare 😉👍
Re: Poll: Which PS5, PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in April 2023?
1. Burning Shores
2. SW: Jedi Survivor
Great month for me.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Gotham Knights Leaps from the Shadows Back into the Top 10
Great for Gotham Knights
The full 6 comic prequal is out (last issue was on the 27th), if anyone jumping in the game now.
Worth the read and you get exclusive stuff in the game. Getting a 1 month subscription to DC Universe counts (so about $1.30 a comic)

Re: Site News: Love What We Do? Become a Push Square Supporter
Sure... PS is how I prevent Doom Scrolling 😅😁
Re: Clouds Are One Reason Why Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is PS5 Only
Usually turn down the cloud settings on PC games. Always gives a bunch of FPS back, and lower setting looks great also.
Regardless, the world in the main game was stunning. Sure this will be a joy to explore also.
Re: Forspoken Prequel Story DLC Is Unleashed in May
Oh art looks cool.
I rented the main game - and enjoyed it enough to finish it. Newark getting trashed in a game by a New Yorker is priceless. Should have done some Boston jokes also 😄
I'll spend some cash for the DLC this time.
Re: PlayStation Fans Are Totally Torn Over PS5 Pro
Na. Only buy 1 version each generation. Ride it to the end. Slim, Oled, PRO... I skip them all.
Re: Flagship First-Party Naughty Dog Will Develop for PS5 and PC Moving Forwards
Great... Every game should have a PC option in my book.
Give me the option to pick what I buy based on what version I think is best (and price) when I go play it.
Sometimes PS wins, sometimes PC wins.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Working Metro System Rumour Shot Down as Fans Await the Big Update
More story content (tons more) that is what I want. Zero need for a Metro system.
Most PC gamers not judging Cyberpunk based on a PS4 version they did not play... same way most PS5 owners today not judging a game because it runs like garbage on a Switch.
But lets just keep beating the dead horse.
Re: You May Be Able to Take The Last of Us on a Roadtrip Soon
Not surprised. I was shocked how well Horizon Zero Dawn looked and ran on mine. Sony did a great job on it.
Love my SteamDeck. If you travel for work it is a no-brainer.
Best part for me is the cross save with my Gaming PC. I get to go back to 4K gaming once home and have the time.
Sometimes felt "Missing out" by playing a game trapped on handheld hardware. This is a better balance for me.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's Jaw-Dropping PS5 World Will Make You Say Wow
I will explore every inch of it 😍
Day 1!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Resident Evil 4 Remake?
Nope... same way I did not spend time or money on rehash Metroid or DeadSpace.
Make something new.
Re: Metacritic Crowns Sony the Best Games Publisher of 2022
Yeah, Sony is on another level. They also keep providing amazing hardware to keep pushing things forward. They check all the boxes.
Great times to be in gaming.
Re: Genshin Impact Dev's Turnbased RPG Honkai: Star Rail Confirmed for PS5, PS4
Nice, it has been good times for turn-based rpg fans. On the list, Keep them coming!
Re: Horizon, The Wire's Lance Reddick Has Passed Away
NOOO! 😔
I actually became a fan from FRINGE and later with games like Destiny and Quantum Break. Super late to watching The Wire (good show)... RIP.
Re: The Last of Us' Naughty Dog Already Working on Next PS5 Exclusive
TLOU 3, just do it.
Give gamers the Game and HBO more content for the TV show audience
Win, Win.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I's PC Specs Will Make Mincemeat of Your Computer
All this to play a rehash of a 10 Year old game
Today a 4K Videocard cost more than the entire PS5. I can justify my PC because I also like to tinker with technology.
If just playing games in 2023, get a PS5. If you get one with a disc that lets you rent and buy used games - even better.
Re: Surprise! Forspoken and Other Square Enix Games Didn't Meet Sales Expectations
Just like StarOcean and Valkyrie... After playing Forspoken, it was nowhere near as bad as people/reviews tried to make it out to be.
Regardless, Prime Gaming has the Covet nails up for grabs.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Takes Fourth Number One, Still Selling Best on PS5
Yeah, still having a blast with Hogwarts Legacy.
Tried Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty last night for a bit and enjoyed it. I did WeMOD the hell out of it 😅 so playing it more like an action game on "hard".
I could have replayed Metroid Prime "HD" on Dolphin at any point in the last decade. Never saw any reason to do so... a Switch rehash is not changing that.
I do still have Metroid Prime 4 on Preorder since 2018... make something new and you get my cash.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 466
1. Hogwarts Legacy (SteamDeck)
2. Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten (SteamDeck)
3. F1 (SteamDeck)
Away again this weekend. PC/PS5 get a break.
Re: European Union Likely to Pass Xbox's $69 Billion Buyout of Activision
Sony is fine either way.
I been with NVidia GeForce Now since beta. And now use it to play games I have on the Ubi Store and Epic Store on my SteamDeck.
On that side, the more games on it the better. One more option to play away from home. Not what my PC/PS5 is for.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists
@Dishonored29
Yeah. I had SaveWizard on my PS4. It worked great. They still active there - just released Octopath 2 codes on PS4
https://www.savewizard.net/
But they have not released a SaveWizard for PS5 yet.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists
@Shinnok789
Yeah, even if at the regular $10 for PC Gamepass it is worth it to try it out.
Especially if not 100% convinced on it and already blew the budget on PSVR2.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists
The Demo did not grab me like Nioh did. So moved it to PC GamePass - less of a risk (especially when I already blew-up my gaming budget)
Also on PC there is the potential of using WeMod to bring the game down a notch like with Returnal. If it gets codes
I'll give it a try this weekend.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 16 Is Shaping Up to Be a PS5 Game of the Year Contender
hype is real, another Day 1 on my list. The games just keep coming - love it!
Re: Elden Ring DLC Confirmed as Shadow of the Erdtree Expansion Is Announced
If there is one game that deserves new expansion it is this... Day 1.
Re: Octopath Traveller 2 Remains Simply Stunning in HD-2D Gameplay
Yeah, great it is on PS5 and PC on day 1 this time around.
Also glad to see it has a "Verified Compatibility" for SteamDeck on the Steam page.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 465
1. Hogwarts Legacy (SteamDeck)
Away again this week. PS5 taking a rest (finished GOW... fantastic game!) and setting up PSVR2 will need to wait a bit.
Hogwarts is also amazing as a handheld game. Finished One Piece Odyssey (great jRPG) on my last work trip, so it came out just in time.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Octopath Traveler 2?
Playing Hogwarts Legacy right now. Playing a jRPG at the same time is a bit to time intensive for me.
On the list, will play it down the line. Between my PC and PS5 simply swimming in games, some need to fall by the side.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Soars with 12 Million Copies Sold in First Two Weeks
Well deserved. Fun game.
Re: PS5 Records Another Good Week of Sales in Japan, 2.5 Million Sold Since Launch
So that is basically 8% of total PS5 base.
More or less the same as the sub 6-9% for PS4 in the Japanese market. Reason why Sony does not make decisions based on it.
Re: Out Today: PSVR2 Brings Next-Gen VR to the Masses
Lets Go!
Wont be able to set up until Sunday. And I am 100% plugging it into my PC to see what happens 🤣😅
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Atomic Heart?
Yeah... but on GamePass. Was not 100% sure, so glad it is an option and I gave it a try.
Doing the job as a bridge game until PSVR2 shows up and keep Hogwarts Legacy (mostly) for my commute and work trips.
I rather play 3rd person games. But I just need to be entertained, everything else are side options.
Re: Soapbox: I Would Crush a Cyborg Spine for a Metal Gear Rising Remaster
I have this sitting in my Steam account. Never play it.
Not playing the same games over because I can play it on the bus on a Switch or at 4K with new lighting on PS5... it is boring.
Make something new.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Wild Hearts?
not yet, but want to.
Need to finish Hogwarts Legacy and Atomic Heart first.
Hard to keep up with all the new games... I mean, it is a good "problem" to have 😀
