@oats-81 Really, though. I thought it looked good, but once I installed it, I made it about 5 seconds before I switched the theme to something else. The music was absolutely awful.

I was able to claim the first two prizes, but I'm yet to see the third one pop up in my account yet. Anyone else have any problems with this?

Honestly, this ad just makes me depressed. I haven't even come close to being able to get a PS5. I'm sure there's a lot of people like me that won't be able to experience this game for a long time, possible a couple of years, because of PS5 stock.

Lied is kind of a strong word, in my opinion. It's been a very strange start to this new gen. Most people that want a PS5 still can't get one, there's a worldwide silicon shortage, the pandemic is still going, and millions of people still have and regularly use their PS4 because they can't get a PS5 (myself included). Sony would lose millions if they didn't still focus on PS4 due to reason completely out of their control.

Yeah, I've signed up three times and haven't gotten a single prize. This year's sign up process is broken and I hate it. 🤷‍♂️

To be completely honest, I actually forgot that this game exists.

@Tecinthebrain Nah, man. The animations are sooooo much better in Forbidden West. I couldn't even finish the first game because the uncanny valley of the character models and animations got to me so badly.

Here's an idea. What if Sony took all that money they're wanting to pour into making sub-par mobile games and got the PS Remote Play app to actually work without it dropping the connection ever 5 second and then we could have all the Sony games in the world on our phones? Crazy, right?

I don't understand. Wasn't Uncharted 3 and 4 Nathan's origin story? Why do we need this? I'm getting cringe vibes.

I got screwed on the first one. I signed up weeks ago, but their system didn't register me. Oh well.

@Dezzy70 Short answer, a lot of the time they don't survive. Some game companies simply bankrupt themselves making a AAA level game with C-grade quality.

@fR_eeBritney I mean, it's probably not too late to return it.

4/10!? Ouch!! Holy crap. That's really sad. Few things are as depressing as the feeling of "could have been."

@ItsATM Thanks for the recommendation! RE:2 it is! Happy gaming to you, too

@Deadlyblack I started using the Duelsense controller for all of my PC gaming and it's fantastic.

@Hurblyburbly I haven't played Hades yet, but if you are interested in Hades, I know that it's currently on sale on the Epic game store and that they were offering a $10 coupon to players, so you could pick it up for $10 if you haven't already.

I just finished playing through A Plague's Tale on PC and I'm figuring out which game to start next. I'm torn between RE:2 Remake, Nier: Replicant, and Bug Fables.

@mwatcher This was the first game I ever got a platinum in. It's a masterpiece. You won't be disappointed.

@LiamCroft Okay! I'm not crazy! I was playing A Plague's Tale: Innocence on my PC last night with a Duelsense controller. I noticed that I was getting haptic feedback while playing. At first, I thought it was just standard rumble functionality, but then I noticed that different things in the game made the rumbling in different ways in different directions depending on the circumstance. Like, if rats came spewing out of the ground, I could tell where it was happening by what direction the controller was rumbling in. I've never played Astro's Playroom, so I doubt it's on that level, but it did use rumble in a way that I have never felt before, especially on PC.

To me, this looks like Control with great visuals, but the gameplay looks stiff at best.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm kind of torn between which one I like better between 30 fps or 60 fps. The 60 fps looks so incredibly smooth, but 30 fps feels so cinematic and fits the tone of the game so well. I'm just happy the option is available and that more people will be playing this game.

@themightyant I played through both TLoU:2 and GoT last year and both of those games jumped to my personal top 5 games that I have ever played in my life. You won't be disappointed.

@AnotherForge Really though. I finished this game last July... and I'm still not emotionally ready.

Look, if PS5 is still going to be this scarce and they are going to make new colors of this controller then the least they could do is make the controller work with PS4. It's just annoying at this point, if I'm being honest.

@Hordak Likewise. But, chances are we'll be able to get one at the same time all of these new titles start coming out, so I'm not even mad.

@Alexface I was running into the same problem. Just keep trying. After about the third or fourth time I was able to sign up.

This sounds awesome... if I could even get my hands on an effing PS5. 🥲

I'm just really excited to pick up a PS6 with PS5 backward compatibility at this point.

If you can't get Nook his bell, you get some hell.

This is anime as hell and I want it.

@wiiware I couldn't agree more about have the ability to resell digital games. I have a handful of games that I would love to resell, but they'll forever be locked to my account. It's a shame. :/

I'm a huge fan of Discord, so this is a huge win for me, personally.

Nike Limited Edition shoes: Sells out instantly

PS5: Sells out instantly with every restock

PS5 Nike Shoes: Transcends mortality upon release

Push Square: Returnal is a PS5 must-have.
Me: But what if a PS5 I no have?

Yeah, these sales numbers, especially with the pandemic, are probably WAY off from how well the game actually sold. I think, however, that Returnal sold less than Pokémon Snap... are we surprised? Returnal was a huge risk for Sony and Pokémon Snap was just about the safest game release Nintendo has made in recent years. Haha! Also, I am blown away that Returnal has sold as many copies as it has even with it being a PS5 exclusive and with how limited PS5 stock is. That's remarkable in and of itself.

@Deadlyblack I don't think you need to wait to play TLoU:2. I played it on my PS4 Slim and it still looked and ran better than any game I have ever played. It already runs like a PS5 game. It's a masterpiece.

**Spoilers**
I am genuinely shocked by this review of the TLoU:2's gunplay and Naughty Dog's ability to make a game with good gunplay. I played Uncharted 2 in the PS4 Nathan Drake Collection a couple of years ago. It is difficult for me to play any other third-person shooter games now without it feeling inferior to that game's gunplay. Uncharted 2's gunplay was on a level that I will never forget and it demonstrated just how capable ND is at making a shooter.

As for TLoU:2, I think Xbox is missing the point. It's like looking at one of Monet's paintings and complaining that the brush strokes aren't straight. Playing as Ellie and Abby showcased ND's ability to craft combat, stealth, and gunplay according to how that individual character would fight. Ellie isn't a great fighter, but she's sneaky and scrappy. Abby is built like a friggin ox and had trained in shooting with the WLF and can take on just about anything head-on. Of course, Ellie and Abby aren't going to shoot like a Gears of War character or like Master Chief. The whole point of TLoU:2 was to walk a day in the shoes of these two characters (through hell and back again) and I, for one, think they accomplished this in literally every way possible. The game was simply a masterpiece.

@KnightRider1982 Waaaaaaaaay better. Part 2 was masterpiece. I have no idea what Xbox was even talking about.

Forsake your loved ones. Wet your pants. Get good.

@Ralizah I love comments that are as well thought-out and constructed as yours. I couldn't agree with you more. Sony wants people to buy their consoles, but that just isn't possible. Launching a console during a pandemic was a very risky move. I'm just impress with what Sony has been able to do during these crazy times.

@Hopewell I love your honestly. Thank you so much.

I was actually one with the force then I might have been able to get a PS5 by now. That is not the case.

I've just given up on finding a PS5 entirely. I'm planning on getting one when I can just walk into a store and get one off the shelf, so yeah, I'm looking at 2022 or 2023. :/

I give up. I'm just going to wait until I can just drive to the store and buy one. Yeah, I know that won't be until 2022, but it's better than wasting all of my time trying to find one.

Bummer. Womp womp.

@2cents If you want to boot up your system then you're going to need to use the remote play app. As for downloading games, messaging, and buying games, I've never had a problem with the app. I'm sorry to hear that that hasn't been your experience.

Ever since they brought back the wishlist feature, I use the app all the time.

@vapidwolf Holy crap, you're right. Dang. Yeah, this probably the best performing game on consoles.

I just love how this game almost flew under the radar, but then reviewers were like, "Umm, guys? Guys!! You're, uh, going to want to see this." Haha!!

Locked 60 fps, 4k checkboard, 2 second loading times... has there ever been a game that has run this well on a console? I'm just... I am floored by this.

I just watched the Wulff Den play Super Mario 64 Plus on PC. I know what I'm playing this weekend.
