@tangyzesty I've been through Act 3 twice with zero issues, other than some minor screen tearing along the bottom of the screen at times. What are you on about?
Between this corpo-speak and "fun and interesting" AI NPCs, they should probably have their execs zip it and take a step back until they can at least release a gameplay trailer.
@AndroidBango It's almost like a precursor to a cyberpunk setting. The technology isn't widespread enough to be considered cyberpunk, but the society is on its way.
I've played this for months, first on GamePass and now on Steam Deck, and never spent a dime outside of the sale price I paid for the game. There's plenty to do and it's a fun, chill time. I don't know why everyone is so down on it, but I'm looking forward to the updates.
BG3 took the spot of my favorite all-time game. Spent over 90 hours on my first playthrough without breaking to play anything else. I've never been as engrossed or immersed in a game.
As a massive RoboCop fan, I'm absolutely going to play this, but I'm a little sad it seems to be missing the social satire that made the first film so great.
I love Poirot and Orient Express, and mystery games to boot. I'll have an eye on this, but am nervous about the contemporary update, "added twists", and sidekick.
Also, I'll say again for anyone looking for in-depth game mechanics: There are a lot of great videos with the devs on YouTube covering every aspect of gameplay if you seek them out.
@PhantomMenace84 There's a pretty simple solution to all of this: Don't play it. Don't even read about it. Not every game is made to appeal to every person. This one isn't for you? Shrug it off and move on.
For anyone looking to go more in depth with gameplay, there are ton of deep dives on YouTube with the devs. Races, Classes, Subclasses, Combat, Alignment, there's a lot that's covered. And it all looks absolutely fantastic. As far as this article goes, I was missing the romance options and cheesy sex scenes of the RPGs of yesteryear, so I'm here for it.
Huh. Did anyone else not have any issues with this on PS5? I'm a little surprised by all the comments. I didn't have any problems on my playthrough, and thought it looked and played great. The story was the only thing I was let down by.
@redd214 I got one from Best Buy. Playstation Direct still wouldn't let me place the order for whatever reason. The screen would flash white for a split second and nothing else would happen. Weird, but at least I snagged it.
Nothing for me (I've had Dreams since launch, and haven't touched it in a year or two). Disappointing, but I'll still have a couple of titles to finish up before Baldur's Gate 3 takes over everything anyway.
I really want that controller. Hopefully it's not like the Hogwarts LE controller that was gone within seconds and then posted to eBay a few minutes later for $200.
Honestly, that sounds like just about the right date for this. I got my PS5 at launch, and it's been great, but a year and change from now I may actually be ready for an upgrade.
After the post-credits scene in the first game, I can't see how it would be anyone but Harry, which I'm fine with. Eddie hasn't been a villain in a long time, and the Venom movies have definitely diluted his character.
I liked the SNES version okay, though never finished it because there was no save system. I would, however, love to see the Genesis and even the Sega CD releases included here.
I've been playing on Graphics mode at 2-3 hours each session with no issues yet, and haven't noticed it running hotter than normal. My system is horizontal.
It wasn't for me. Well-produced but I was bored to tears after a few hours. I didn't care about what was happening, combat was monotonous, loot was boring. Glad others are enjoying it though.
@Tomato_Goose Quite a lot, yeah. I enjoyed the original well enough, but this one has some massive improvements, especially in how you power your parks. Campaign, movie-inspired scenarios, sandbox, all good.
Assassins in an Assassin's Creed game? Get outta here. Not super excited for the setting or lead character, but it'll be great to get back to the more traditional play style.
@pushL7 Same. Story (or at least the final act) was a little lame, but the combat and individual missions were fun. I soloed as Babs for the duration. I'll likely have another run at it sometime.
What are the chances the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster bundle gets a little drop? I know it just came out, but it's prime material for this type of sale.
I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I'm glad it wasn't in Legacy. I didn't really want another system shoehorned in to distract from the main experience. That being said, I'm also not really interested in this standalone game unless I hear amazing things.
Sackboy is fine. There's some nice level design and music, but it all gets pretty repetitive before too long. I don't have any interest in the other two, so it's a fairly typical month for me.

Sure wish I'd known about this epilogue before I deleted my first character's clear save...
Re: Forget Kong, GameMill's The Walking Dead: Destinies Could Be Amongst 2023's Worst
I hate that people will still spend money on this for the memes and lols. Game Mill needs to be vanished.

Re: Suicide Squad Returns with All-New PS5 Gameplay
I still can't get past Captain Boomerang and King Shark maining guns. The laziness.

I played the demo and thought it was cool and different. I'll probably pick it up.

Re: Alan Wake 2 (PS5) - A Nightmare We Never Want to Wake Up From
@Terra_Custodes A 10 here is classified as Outstanding. Your interpretation doesn't have any bearing, and it all comes down to opinion anyway.
Re: Stunning PS5 Open Worlder Star Wars Outlaws Has Seemingly Been Delayed
I'm really looking forward to this, so if it takes longer for them to not screw it up, so be it.
Re: Poll: Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bugs are Apparently a Real Problem, But Have You Had Any?
At 70% completion. Had one crash after loading a save. Haven't noticed anything else.

Re: Super Popular Kids Show Bluey Gets Its Own PS5, PS4 Game In November
Bluey is fantastic and got my son (and wife and I) through a rough time a few years ago. I'll absolutely pick this up and play through it with them.
Re: Genesis Games Join Upcoming PS5, PS4 Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection
Well now it's a must-have. Would it be too much to ask for the point-and-click Sega CD version?
Re: Sea of Stars (PS5) - PS Plus Extra's Retro-Inspired RPG Is the Whole Package
I like it well enough a couple of hours in, though I also just finished Chained Echoes, and that set a really high bar for retro RPGs.

Re: PlayStation Portal Is Sony's PS5 Remote Play Handheld, Priced at $200 / £200
Mildly tempting, but honestly I would just pick up a Switch Lite if I'm hard up for on the go gaming.

Re: 17 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Revealed for Huge Update Next Week
I'll play Sea of Stars for a couple of days before getting lost in Baldur's Gate. Nothing else for me.

Re: Where to Pre-Order Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Console and DualSense Controller
@redd214 I got one from Best Buy. Playstation Direct still wouldn't let me place the order for whatever reason. The screen would flash white for a split second and nothing else would happen. Weird, but at least I snagged it.
Re: Where to Pre-Order Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Console and DualSense Controller
Infuriating. Wouldn't let me press Place Order for controller just 1 minute in. US.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2023 Announced

Re: Rumour: Immortals Fenyx Rising Sequel Canned by Ubisoft
Great game. Terrible title. I always wondered if it hampered its sales. I would have liked a sequel.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Release Date Reportedly Slated for November 2024

Re: King Kong Game Skull Island: Rise of Kong Announced for PS5, PS4
This looks Gollum-bad, but at least it's not full price I guess.
Re: Venom Is the Focus of Fresh Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Look
After the post-credits scene in the first game, I can't see how it would be anyone but Harry, which I'm fine with. Eddie hasn't been a villain in a long time, and the Venom movies have definitely diluted his character.

Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Publisher Is Refunding All Physical PS5, PS4 Pre-Orders
The original was simultaneously flawed and phenomenal. I'd love to see a remaster on console.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2023 Announced
@Tomato_Goose Quite a lot, yeah. I enjoyed the original well enough, but this one has some massive improvements, especially in how you power your parks. Campaign, movie-inspired scenarios, sandbox, all good.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2023 Announced
Eh, nothing for me personally. Already own JWE2, zero interest in NBA, already played Trek to Yomi on Game Pass. It was ok.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage First Gameplay Looks Much More Traditional, Stabs October Release Date

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Looks Godlike in First PS5 Gameplay Reveal
I wanted to like the original, but everything felt so stiff and bland. This is looking good so far.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings Back with Stunning PS5 Gameplay Trailer
So stoked for this. The original and Miles are two of my all-time favorites, and this looks phenomenal. Thank Jeebus for current gen only development.
Re: Global Superstar Nicolas Cage Is Coming to PS5, PS4 Horror Hit Dead by Daylight
Oh man. I'm terrible at this game, but that's an absolutely phenomenal reveal.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
Fantastic so far (on Shattered Moon) with no performance issues. Looks great, plays great. Movement and combat are so much smoother than the original.
Re: Gotham Knights Updated with New Kelvin Incident Raid for Free on PS5

@GorosBat This may come as a shock, but everything isn't made according to just your wants and interests.
Re: Standalone Harry Potter Quidditch Game Announced
