Re: There Could Be Many More PS5, PS4 First-Party Leaks Coming

Bloodborne please.
The game which convinced me to actually shift from PC to PS4.

Ok, screw Bloodborne. Give me new exclusive game from Fromsoft.

Oh wait. I've already purchased PS5 for the Demon souls remake.. How ironical.

But in that case original was locked to PS3 platform, so it had real value, at least.

I'd rather wait for official presentation.

If it will be pretty much the same, then.. Man, I don't know. Now I don't feel that I actually need it, to be honest.

But... When you want to scratch that itch of replaying first Tlou, and you know there's slightly better version of it.. You'd probably buy it FOR A DOLLAR! HA HA HA. No seriously, there's severe risk that I'll buy it for a full price and will hate myself for that afterwards.

Elden ring. 1st playthrough was quite rough due to russians attacking Kyiv in march. Still got me through that time as the best distraction available. 170 hours for the first playthrough. Started as a strenght build but eventually evolved into strenght/faith hybrid.

After it became calmer in Kyiv, I did another 140 playthrough with focused strenght build and had a blast with it.
Now its time to go back to my 1st character and play 1st tier of NG+. Having fun completing side quests and exploring all the nooks and crannies missed in the first playthrough.
Found out you can actually complete Fia's and Ranni's quests BEFORE reaching Altus plateau, this is quite a discovery.

As with all Fromsoft games, it is hard to put it aside before I have around 1000 hours with it.
Horizon Forbidden West awaits its turn patiently on my digital shelf. Sorry, Guerilla. Wrong timing with the release window)))

Re: Hands On: Destruction AllStars' Improvements Tease PS5's Live Service Future

All this live service investing from Sony is set to fail miserably.

If not for the best single player games in the industry I wouldn't bother purchasing PS4 and PS5 in the first place.
And would stick to PC gaming.

But PS4 experience was so good I sold my gaming pc and currently using laptop for my work and PS5 for gaming exclusively.

And now Sony puts 60% of their investments into live service crap.
I feel deep regret with facepalm, similar to when I heard about Fallout 76.
Why even engage your precious resources for this kind of crap?
You can do so much more and better in single player games development...

But no, you cancel Days Gone 2 and instead you waste money on this crap no one bothers playing even for free.

@lolwhatno @Northern_munkey thanks guys.
I'm in Kyiv. russians were thrown out from here, now they try to destroy our east regions.

I'm kinda lucky as they were as near as 10 km away from my place.

I try to support my family, friends and our troops.
And also I play Elden ring and a litle bit of Horizon 2.

Games are the best way to get mentally away from all this crap.

Slava Ukrajini!

@Dezzy70 Horizon is for the same players who play Witcher games and Souls games and ubisoft games.
And install base is over 100 million.
There is novreal excuse why Horizon is underperforming.

But anyway, it'll sell. No games of such high caliber is planned within next 6 months or so.
So.. Lots of people will get it.
Including myself. I'm still fully into Elden ring. 120 hours in and haven't finished it yet.
Haven't preordered Horizon, as I fully understood I couldn't invest my time in both games simultaneously.
