The last three games I've gone through - Citizen Sleeper, Eiyuden Chronicles and Octopath Traveler - were all via GamePass, and also the three best games I've played in a long time. Sony hasn't convinced me they're going to do anything close to comparable.
Unpopular opinion I'm sure, but 5 hours is longer than I spent on it. I was really disappointed with this sequel. With this in mind, I'm really looking forward to trials and demos becoming a thing again.
It's good, but like all online games, I don't have time to keep up. I played for maybe an hour the night of release, then turned it on again after getting home from work the next night. Suddenly everyone was leveled into their 20s. I was getting trashed by the Deadites and felt like a liability to my team. Add to it the soul crushing single player missions, and I ended up just returning it. I guess these types of games just aren't for me, Evil Dead fan or not.
I'm playing on Game Pass and really (unexpectedly) enjoying it. The loop and characters are fun. The music is great. I'll definitely pick up Hundred Heroes when it drops.
Let them close. Hopefully the devs will find other work and their boss won't. Leadership is a journey, give me a break. It really doesn't take that much effort to be a decent human being.
I've really enjoyed most of these, but never finished House of Ashes. I thought it was a bit of a slog, and disliked all of the characters. I'll definitely give this a go though.
I've gotten a ridiculous amount of playtime and value from Game Pass since I picked up a Series X a couple of months ago. The Xbox was originally intended to be an exclusives-only backup system with the PS5 being primary. They have since switched places. I was really hoping Sony would actually bring some competition to the table.
@Snick27 Yeah, why can't post apocalyptic tribal girls do some basic upkeep? Maybe an eyebrow pluck or a trip to the salon? Hasn't Aloy ever heard of makeup tattoos?
I didn't have trouble upgrading from my disc, but I would love a trophy transfer. I'm halfway through a second playthrough, and I am not going back to repop all of my previous trophies for a plat. I do hate having to leave the PS4 version installed because it automatically reinstalls with the disc, but that one is on Sony.
Fantastic game. Even though I've been through it twice and gotten the Plat, I wouldn't mind another run. I'll pick up a digital copy once it drops to $20. Can't wait for 2.
Oh man, I'm a total Disney nerd, so I was excited about this for about 5 minutes. Then I saw F2P. And Gameloft. Sigh. Can we just have Disney Infinity back without the oversaturated toy angle?
@Uncharted2007 She's a multibillionaire, and will continue to be, and is involved in nearly everything HP related, and collects royalties from all of it. She's fine. And free speech doesn't mean being free from any consequences, or that people can't respond, actively disagree or boycott. Those are all forms of free speech as well.
I just started San Andreas via Game Pass on my Series X, and some things seem better than I expected while others seem worse. No major glitches or frame rate drops as of yet. This guy seems pretty clueless though.
@Olmaz I was into Lost in Random at first, but the combat absolutely dragged it down. Doing damage took forever and enemies kept spawning long past my breaking point. The world and setup were on point though.
Tough competition on this one. True Colors was lovely, with characters I truly cared about and some absolute gut-punch scenes, helped along by Alex's fantastic expressiveness. Guardians of the Galaxy nailed the group dynamic. Not just the comedy, but the in-fighting and the bonding. The story was unexpectedly great, and I actually preferred this version of the group to the MCU's take. And then there's Disco Elysium, which I just started a few days ago. What do you even say about that one? What an absolute trip.
I'm absolutely willing to give this a shot. I'm just looking for a couple of hours of fun and adventure. It doesn't have to be Lawrence of Arabia. I find Holland likeable and Wahlberg hit-or-miss, though the lack of a 'stache is killing me. As for the poster, it's not great, but miles better than the typical floating-photoshopped-heads crap studios usually release.
@PhantomMenace84 Man, I absolutely dig him as a person as well. I suppose I can see if your political ideas don't line up, but I find him an absolute joy.
Shockingly, Guardians of the Galaxy was my GOTY. I was expecting it to be a good time, but I didn't know it was going to look and sound so good and that the story would hit so hard. I honestly liked this version of the group better than the MCU.

Re: Overwatch 2 Will Be Free-to-Play on PS5, PS4
Good, because I was curious but didn't want to give Blizzard any money. Now I can at least give it a shot.

Re: Massive Street Fighter 6 Leaks Acknowledged by Capcom
I've never been into fighters besides MK and Injustice, but this looks fantastic. I'll probably be terrible at it, but will definitely give it a try.
Re: PS Plus Members Bemused by Potential God of War Inclusion Across Multiple Tiers
I haven't downloaded a single PS Plus game this year. That won't change this month.

@meistergeister Uh, my Shepard is a snarky ginger lesbian in point of fact.

@KidBoruto But...but it's free-to-play...
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Smashes Franchise Sales Records
I haven't played anything else since launch. I rarely seek out Platinums, but this one will be mine.
Re: Sony Pictures Announces Ghostbusters VR, But No Word on PSVR2
Well, just the teaser made me a little motion sick, so I guess even if it does come to PSVR2, it's going to have to be a miss for me.
Re: Shadowrun Trilogy Brings Classic Cyberpunk Role-Playing to PS5, PS4 in June
Cool. I briefly owned Shadowrun Returns on mobile before it suddenly got pulled. It was fun.
Re: The Quarry's Movie Mode Lets You Beat the Game without Pressing a Button
Director's Chair is a fantastic idea, I'm in. I never replay these games, so this gives me an entertaining way to see sequences I missed.
Re: Abandoned PS5 Dev Quietly Deletes Tweets Pertaining to Project
There never was a game, it was a grift from the start. I don't know if it's money laundering or what, but these "devs" are legit con artists.
Re: Wattam Studio Funomena Forced to Close if Funding Isn't Secured
Let them close. Hopefully the devs will find other work and their boss won't. Leadership is a journey, give me a break. It really doesn't take that much effort to be a decent human being.

Re: Embrace the Dark Side with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Villains Trailer
@ApostateMage Or is just doing his best Sean Connery.
Give me this game now, please and thank you.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Available Now, Overhauls Parties, Lets You Pin Games, Much More
I doubt we'll ever see folders or, especially, themes. It messes with their idea of the hub and cards, which I've found to be pretty useless.
Re: Is the Dream of Online Competitive Quidditch Over for Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, PS4?
And I am super thankful for it. Keep toxic competitive multiplayer out of my single player games, please.
Re: Evil Dead: The Game Returns with Kandarian Demon Gameplay Trailer
I'm a big Evil Dead fan, and very hopeful this turns out groovy. Looking good so far.

@Snick27 Yeah, why can't post apocalyptic tribal girls do some basic upkeep? Maybe an eyebrow pluck or a trip to the salon? Hasn't Aloy ever heard of makeup tattoos?
Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Is It Good on PS4?
@StonyKL Rechargeable battery packs for Xbox controllers usually run about $10. It's easier and much cheaper in the long run.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Investigating PS4 to PS5 Disc Issues, Trophy Transfers
I didn't have trouble upgrading from my disc, but I would love a trophy transfer. I'm halfway through a second playthrough, and I am not going back to repop all of my previous trophies for a plat. I do hate having to leave the PS4 version installed because it automatically reinstalls with the disc, but that one is on Sony.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Is Now Sony's Third Best-Selling Game in the US
Fantastic game. Even though I've been through it twice and gotten the Plat, I wouldn't mind another run. I'll pick up a digital copy once it drops to $20. Can't wait for 2.
Re: Movie Review: Uncharted - Glossy Green Screen Spectacle Isn’t Sure Who It's For
Sounds like what I expected. It'll be a decent way to pass a couple of hours about four months from now when I can stream it.
Re: Disney Speedstorm is Mario Kart with Mickey Mouse, Mulan
Oh man, I'm a total Disney nerd, so I was excited about this for about 5 minutes. Then I saw F2P. And Gameloft. Sigh. Can we just have Disney Infinity back without the oversaturated toy angle?
Re: PS5 Firmware Update Beta Launches Tomorrow, Upgrades Parties And Lets You Pin Games
The pin is welcome, as is sorting by genre, but I really just want my folders back, please and thank you.

Re: PS5's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Has Allegedly Been Delayed Until 2023
Jason's usually got it right, so I would put money on this.
Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Seemingly Confirmed in Staged Social Media Snap
I like MK and love Injustice, but I would absolutely lose my mind over a NetherRealm Marvel game. I was really hoping the rumors were true.
Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Of course, I already own Planet Coaster. 🙄 Another bust for me.
Re: Interview: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Devs Talk Inspiration, Difficulty Options, Chaos Memes, and More
TIL this game has a Story difficulty mode, so it is back on my radar.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Finally Lands on PS5, PS4 in April
@Palleon This is a completely new game, on a new engine with new mechanics, plus content from films that didn't get adaptations.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Finally Lands on PS5, PS4 in April
Not going to lie, this is my most anticipated release of the year. I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.
Re: GTA Trilogy Has Done 'Just Great', Exec Says 'Glitch Was Resolved'
I just started San Andreas via Game Pass on my Series X, and some things seem better than I expected while others seem worse. No major glitches or frame rate drops as of yet. This guy seems pretty clueless though.
Re: Rumour: Uncharted May Be Getting a LEGO Set Soon
@Ashpip The Batman has new sets coming out, based on a dark PG-13 movie with a lot of guns in the trailer and a plot revolving around a serial killer.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate PS Plus in 2021?
Control was the only PS Plus game that I played through last year that I didn't already own. So, not a great showing for me personally.

Re: Sony Reveals Uncharted Movie Poster

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Valhalla 'Dawn of Ragnarok' Expansion Leaks Ahead of Live Reveal
The Asgard Arc was nearly a game-killer for me during Valhalla, so I'm not touching this.
Re: Mini Review: Twelve Minutes (PS5) - Weird Twist Spoils an Otherwise Intriguing Story
This thing feels like such an oddity that I'll probably pick it up on a deep discount one day.
Re: Life Is Strange: True Colors Dev Adapting The Expanse for Telltale Games
I'm a huge fan of both The Expanse and True Colors so this is an absolute win for me. I can't wait to learn more about it.

Re: The Last of Us HBO Show Changes Bill Casting to Nick Offerman
@Jayofmaya Give it another chance but skip Season 1. The rest is liquid gold.
I'd listen to Offerman's dulcet tones say anything at anytime.
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2021?
Shockingly, Guardians of the Galaxy was my GOTY. I was expecting it to be a good time, but I didn't know it was going to look and sound so good and that the story would hit so hard. I honestly liked this version of the group better than the MCU.
