I couldn't care less for mobile games, but if the 20% of Sony's mobile market helps pay for the exorbitant cost of the 80% of console and PC releases then I'm down for this.
To my memory, I don't remember a console this good struggling this hard to get off of the ground. COVID threw an unprecedented wrench into its launch and who knows when this stock shortage will finally end. If it's any consolation, a couple of my friends have seen GPUs in stock and on the shelves at a few stores in the past couple of weeks, so there might actually be a light at the end of this stock shortage tunnel, but we're probably still a ways out.
Celeste and Super Meat Boy are about as far as I can go into "trial and error" territory. I even dipped out of Hollow Knight partway through because it got frustrating and (I'm going to get so much crap for saying this) boring. The older I get the less time I have to devote to games where their shtick is "get good." Sometimes I can't devote the time and energy to get good, nor am I willing to pay money for an experience like that.
Okay, but really though, what on earth is going on at Square Enix right now? This is, like, their third or fourth failed game this year... and it's only April.
I love the Duelsense controller and I would say it is one of the best controllers that I've ever used, but that d-pad is just terrible. BUT! I just modded my duelselse with these:
I think it's hilarious that 34% are interested in playing this and 37% never thought the chaos memes were funny. Those are pretty close numbers. Haha!!
This happened to me. I had to call PlayStation's customer support so I could get a refund so I could still purchase the upgrade path for PS5. That was kind of annoying.
Unpopular opinion, is it wrong if I'm not a huge fan of this art direction? The combination of pixel art with detailed 3D style background feels like it's clashing to me.
@Jacko11 I used to think gyro was stupid... but then I tried it. It's insanely more accurate than just using the thumb sticks and there's really no going back once you adapt to it.
@Ralizah Are you still looking to get a PS5? I have a tip for getting one if you're interested. To get my PS5, I used an app called HotStock. It pings your phone when an item goes in stock. It's still hard to find a PS5 with the app, but I managed to get one using the app, so it definitely works.
@Mega-Gazz It's a little tricky to find. You have to do it on the console. Pop in the disc, go to the PS Store on the console, and the option will be available.
@Styledvinny79 Have you watched Digital Foundry's video on this upgrade? It's definitely more than just an upres of the PS4 games. $10 is a small asking price for making a game of this caliber a native PS5 game. Watch Dog's time and money isn't free.
I...... don't care? Can I say that? I feel like this going to be an issue for people that really care about 100%-ing games... but I just want a game that looks pretty to look prettier.
It kind of bugs me when people hop on here and say, "Oh well. I didn't play CoD anyway." You don't understand. This could honestly be the beginning of the end of the console wars, and Microsoft is looking to become the final winner. Sony really may become solely a software developer and only release their games on PC. There's no competition when one company owns them all. This sucks so much. I wouldn't be surprised if PS5 was the last PlayStation-made console.
I don't play any of the CoD games, but this is going to have huge repercussions if this deal isn't blocked by the courts. CoD has almost always been one of the best-selling franchises on PS consoles. This could be a huge hit to Sony's pockets if Microsoft makes CoD and Xbox exclusive. I don't see why they wouldn't.
This is the strongest selection of games in months. If someone isn't happy with this selection, then PS Plus probably isn't for you and you should most likely just unsubscribe.
I just played through the demo this evening and I was pleasantly surprised. I think the price is still a little too high for me, but I think I might pick it up some time down the road when it's a little cheaper.
I claimed the PS Plus version and I'm not seeing the upgrade available anywhere in the store. It still says that the upgrade and basically any other versions are unavailable to me. Sony really screwed this one, honestly.
I just bought Inscryption on PC. I started playing the game last night and I thought I had only been playing for maybe an hour or so. I checked the time and it was 3:00 am... I woke up and I can't stop thinking about it. This might be my personal game of the year.
@RBMango I played through the demo last night and, personally, I did think it was quite impressive, but not necessarily earth-shattering. However, I started to think about what games could look like if the art direction was less about photorealism and more about focusing on a stylized art direction, like Breath of the Wild or Kena. If a game was created with that style in UE5 then I think the outcome could be mind-blowingly beautiful and could easily run at 4k 60fps.
@jdv95 Around 20 GB... and it shows. My goodness. I played the demo last night. I thought 20 was a lot and then I saw it in action and I was like, "Okay... how is this not 80?"
Here's the trick to watching the game awards. Start watching the live stream an hour and a half late and then rewind to the beginning. That way you can skip any ad or announcement you don't care about. I did this and had a fantastic time. Haha!
I already wasn't big on the idea of getting Godfall, but this version kind of makes me not even want to claim it. I don't know. I don't like online multiplayer games. I basically only play games for their single-player story and gameplay. This sounds like the opposite of what I would ever play.
I'm not big on AC games, honestly, but I wish developers would do more to support their games on current-gen consoles. It blows my mind that games like Hollow Knight, Tomb Raider, and Journey are locked at 1080p, and games like Gravity Rush 2, Crash Bandicoot, The Last Guardian, and Concrete Genie are locked at 30 fps. All of these games should be running at a flawless 4k 60fps, or at least 1440p 60fps, on the PS5. It's an absolute shame, really.
I apologize. I should have clarified. I live in the U.S., so the price difference is much smaller. Switch games are $60 while PS5 games are $70 at full price, but Nintendo games almost never drop in price. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (which came out this year) just dropped to $50 at some stores while games like DK: Tropical Freeze (which came out in 2014) dropped to $45 for Black Friday, which is the lowest that price has been all year.
I'm very sorry that the prices are higher on your side of the world and I think that Sony should make those prices more even from currency to currency.
