I’ve been playing SH2 and am about an hour in now (never played the original) and I’m at the point where you’re wandering around the town hitting the creatures with a wooden plank and basically just walking around looking at buildings. It’s got a vaguely creepy feeling, but otherwise rather dull. This game strikes me as mostly a walking simulator with rare bouts of combat, and very boring combat at that. Does it get better? Am I to expect a lot more?
Right embarrassing, but I plan on cringing my way through RE7, as I've never had the cojones to finish it and just finished RE8. I know, backwards, but what can one do?
I’m not sure if I’m the only one that feels this way, and I don’t feel this way all the time, but the PS5 has mostly been a bit of a letdown. It doesn’t seem like it’s anything that’s even remotely close to its full potential.
@Zeke68 interesting. I suffer from single-sided deafness in left ear, always at least moderate to bad tinnitus. Thank god the vertigo has gone away. Maybe I’m glad I’ve waited on the VR thing.
I’ve been playing this on my PS5 for about three hours now and I have to admit to being a little disappointed. It just seems like there’s a lot of talking going on and the transitions between meeting a character and then having a conversation with them is really disjointed and choppy. Maybe things get really exciting after a few more hours and there’s not as much talking, I don’t know. I hope so.
I’m ignorant of these things, so please go easy on me, but how many servers should a game of this magnitude have? What does a game like Helldivers employ, for example?
I have no doubt this game will be fun to play. My concern is how intelligent it’s going to be, and how satirical. If you listen to just the GTA5 radio talk shows alone (which I do whilst cruising around as Franklin after boosting a taxi and making some extra cash from fares) the writing is absolutely hilarious. Can they really keep up with that level of satire and comedy in this new one? I hope so.
Felt part 2 looked way too cartoony. That's fine if you like games that look animated, but I was hoping for something more photorealistic. The story was lame also,
I get bugs but not game breakers. Mostly they're funny...People sliding instead of walking, people walking around naked for no reason, people falling out of the sky for no reason...
Not even remotely interested in this ridiculous looking remaster. Yes, I know it's PS1, blah blah blah. Let's have part 1 of a brand new trilogy taking place after Shadow instead.
Don't see the point....What more could it really do that it's not doing now? Most likely will wait for a PS6 unless the Pro can do my laundry and run out to the chip shop for me.

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' 20 Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2025
Possible complaints about GT6:
Too woke
Not woke enough
Map too small
Map too big
They're still making content for GTA5 online?
It's available on PS4? Let it die already!

@PuppetMaster the biggest downfall of modern society in my opinion is people thinking their opinion is fact.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Gaming Plans for the Holidays?
@amatmulisha Yes! I’ve played a ton of horror games and survived most, but RE7 scares the hell out of me.

Re: Hands On: Spider-Man 2 All in on Ray Tracing for PS5 Pro
I remain steadfast in my desire to let everyone know I’m passing on the PS5 Pro. Bring on the PS6!
Re: Crummy Classic Sports Games Compiled in Accolade Sports Collection on PS5, PS4
It was insanely satisfying to throw a successful curveball in Hardball on the C64, so I might play these…for the aforementioned 15 seconds.

@HotGoomba Oh, I thought it was funny, wasn't bothered a bit.

Not everything has to be a stupid TV show.

So if I were to shell out $50k to these guys, would I have 5 times the chance of getting one?
Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
I’m not sure if I’m the only one that feels this way, and I don’t feel this way all the time, but the PS5 has mostly been a bit of a letdown. It doesn’t seem like it’s anything that’s even remotely close to its full potential.
Re: PS5 Pro Shows Real Promise in First Expert Analysis

Re: PS5 Pro Is Seemingly Starting to Appear in Source Code
Going to buy one but keep it in the box on a shelf, grinning smugly to myself occasionally and thinking ‘I have one of those.’
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 23
7/10 and I guessed on all but 1.

@everynowandben Your description makes it sounds like a religified Stanley Parable, and that’s a compliment.
Re: Rumour: Next Tomb Raider Said to Be Open World, Set in India
Hopefully they redo her look instead of having her look like a guy in a wig. That screenshot is terrible.
Re: Video: Does Fallout 4 Look Better on PS5?
Looks exactly the same and zero dualsense engagement that I can discern. Kind of disappointing.
Re: TopSpin 2K25 (PS5) - A Killer Serve 13 Years in the Making
Sounds great though the screenshots look laughably dated. I hope future patches have McEnroe yelling at us during the entire academy tutorials.

Re: Still Wakes the Deep Puts Horror on an Oil Rig, Out for PS5 This June
Oil rigs are inherently creepy, with all the random noises and bizarre architecture. Hopefully this takes advantage of that.

Re: GTA 6 on PS5 Will Seemingly Include ScHoolboy Q's Music
I have no doubt this game will be fun to play. My concern is how intelligent it’s going to be, and how satirical. If you listen to just the GTA5 radio talk shows alone (which I do whilst cruising around as Franklin after boosting a taxi and making some extra cash from fares) the writing is absolutely hilarious. Can they really keep up with that level of satire and comedy in this new one? I hope so.

Re: Konami PS5 Remakes Silent Hill 2 and Snake Eater Scheduled for 2024, Says Sony
Just can't get excited about Bloober doing SH2. They're the wrong developer, and I don't think their style fits this game. Guess we'll see.
Re: PlayStation Reveals Most Played Games of 2023 by Region, Is Basically a Waste of Time
