I'm in, because I'm a nerd about Marvel, but the pacing of these cut scenes is really off. I feel like everything should be moving a little quicker, dialogue included.
I'm nearing the end of this on Switch. It's short, but interesting, and fun to "work with" Osgood. To add my two cents to the other discourse, I like Jodie's Doctor, but haven't found the storytelling to be very good. I felt the same with the Twelfth.
I loved both games, especially, and apparently against popular opinion, The Fractured But Whole. I'll be curious to see what direction this takes. And I haven't watched the show in a decade.
@Perryg92 And on the subject of Disney+, it would be nice to actually be able to watch movies in 4k on my 4k console through my 4k TV. But nope. The app doesn't support 4k on PS5. I have to go through my Smart TV, which is buggy. Infuriating.
Are they still going through with making it take even longer to level? I wouldn't mind going through the campaign again on PS5 or taking T'Challa and Clint for a spin, but not if leveling is even MORE of an obnoxious grind.
@The_Pixel_King Oh man, I'll have to look into that. I was planning on picking it up for my Switch Lite.
Edit: OK, yeah, and also bugs and glitches. PS5 it is.
I'm old enough to remember a time BEFORE Blockbuster, when video stores were all just local places. Waxworks and Movie Warehouse. Blockbuster kind of ruined video stores for me.
It's got a solid enough cast that I'll give it a shot. Plus, you know, a werewolf at some point, which is sadly underrepresented in modern monster movies.
Nothing about enemy AI? Nearly every other review I've come across mentions enemies that will basically stand dumbfounded until dead, especially dinging them from a mild distance with Cattie-Brie, even resuming conversations between arrow strikes.
@djdizzy Some was gameplay related. It would have gone a long way to have Ratchet and Rivet play a little differently. But I think mostly it was the story. It doesn't really go any interesting places after the set up, and I found myself ready for it to be over a few hours before it was. I found the last couple of levels and bosses to be a drag. I only needed a few cleanup trophies for the Plat and couldn't really be bothered. I found the movie tie in and A Crack in Time to be better paced. (I didn't care for Into the Nexus or All4One.)
@Olmaz Whether it affects Sony's bottom line or not, the representation and celebration is important. I honestly don't care if their main motivation is monetary.
@Danloaded I already own Untitled Goose, but I'll go in with you on Fast & Furious. I know it's supposed to be bad, but I'm a fan and want it anyway. 😀
@thefourfoldroot It's really not. You should give it a shot when it hits. The stealth sections, especially as the game goes on, are like puzzles to solve, with the rats being the game changer. It actually gets pretty intense.
I'll always have a place in my heart for Avatar not for myself, but for my Dad, who loved it and was really looking forward to the sequels. I'll look forward to some actual gameplay.
@vapidwolf Ed. His name was Ed. 😂 And I'd take Jake and Bobby Jo over that dude any day. I'm thinking Kelly will be my main outside of Ash, but I'm digging Duke Henry the Red in that trailer.
It's actually had dedicated games in the past, but they were pretty mediocre. I had Hail to the King on PS1 and Regeneration on PS2. Happy to see Pablo and Kelly.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Release Date Set for February 2022 on PS5, PS4
That's honestly sooner than I expected. Looks great.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Gets 60FPS Patch on PS5, Available Now
Sweet! I'm only about 1/3 of the way through my replay, so this is very welcome. I think I'll boot it up tonight in point of fact.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns Is XCOM Team's Take on the Superhero Universe
I feel like this may be more of an Ultimate Alliance successor than X-Com. I'm down for either.
Re: Here's Another Brief Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Cut-Scene
I'm in, because I'm a nerd about Marvel, but the pacing of these cut scenes is really off. I feel like everything should be moving a little quicker, dialogue included.
Re: Round Up: Psychonauts 2 Reviews Love the Wacky New Adventure
This looks great. I wish we could get a remaster of the original. The PS2 version on PS4 is rough stuff.
Re: New Saints Row Game Reveal Teased for Gamescom Opening Night Live
@Ken_Kaniff I feel like the over-the-top zaniness is what set it apart from GTA.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Comes Out of Hiding at Gamescom Opening Night Live
It's about damn time.
Re: New Saints Row Game Reveal Teased for Gamescom Opening Night Live
It could use a reboot. I really enjoyed 1-3 (with 2 being the clear best), but found 4 really tiresome and just not fun. Looking forward to this.
Re: Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins Brings Mobile Mystery to PS4

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Details Leave a Lot to Be Desired
There is no way the PS5 upgrades for either Cyberpunk or Witcher drop this year. I can't decide whether I care or not.
Re: Become a Local Radio Station DJ in Life Is Strange: True Colors' Wavelengths DLC
I really can't wait for this. LiS 2 was a minor stumble but still good, and I love 1 and Before the Storm. Seeing Steph again will be great.
Re: A New South Park Game Is Coming, and It's 3D
I loved both games, especially, and apparently against popular opinion, The Fractured But Whole. I'll be curious to see what direction this takes. And I haven't watched the show in a decade.
Re: The Forgotten City (PS5) - Skyrim Mod Turned Full Game Tells a Good Story
This wasn't even on my radar, but sounds right up my alley. I'll check it out for sure.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Delay Rumours are Doing the Rounds, But It's All Speculation
@PossibLeigh That's a good point. She either had no interest in or no time for that BS.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Delay Rumours are Doing the Rounds, But It's All Speculation
@nessisonett "Turned"? My Aloy was already gay. If only I'd had some romance options to act on it.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Firmware Will Display Trophy Lists Vertically
@Perryg92 Yeah, it absolutely wasn't fixed. Nothing is listed in 4k. I might try to reinstall the app, though I've got a feeling it won't change.

Re: Stray Is Looking Purr-fect in PS5, PS4 Gameplay Showcase
Cats and robots. Day one.
Re: Marvel's Avengers' Free Black Panther Add-On Claws 17th August PS5, PS4 Release Date
Are they still going through with making it take even longer to level? I wouldn't mind going through the campaign again on PS5 or taking T'Challa and Clint for a spin, but not if leveling is even MORE of an obnoxious grind.
Re: PS5's Abandoned App Pre-Loads This Week, So Here's a Man with an Eyepatch
@Danloaded This is the only thing that would interest me at this point.
Re: Mini Review: Cris Tales (PS5) - Enchanting RPG Inspired By the Classics
@The_Pixel_King Oh man, I'll have to look into that. I was planning on picking it up for my Switch Lite.
Edit: OK, yeah, and also bugs and glitches. PS5 it is.
Re: The Last Video Store Is Pure PSVR Nostalgia Inspired by Blockbuster
I'm old enough to remember a time BEFORE Blockbuster, when video stores were all just local places. Waxworks and Movie Warehouse. Blockbuster kind of ruined video stores for me.
Re: Movie Review: Werewolves Within - A Fun Comedy Horror Lacking Some Bite
It's got a solid enough cast that I'll give it a shot. Plus, you know, a werewolf at some point, which is sadly underrepresented in modern monster movies.
Re: Ubisoft Will Reveal a New Tom Clancy Game Later Today
Tom Clancy's Been Dead for Eight Years.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?
@djdizzy Some was gameplay related. It would have gone a long way to have Ratchet and Rivet play a little differently. But I think mostly it was the story.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?
I loved it at first, but it had worn pretty thin by the end. I settled on a 7 for the poll, but it hovers around an 8 for me.
Re: Unfinished Atari Jaguar FMV Game American Hero Coming to Console
Not gonna lie, this looks fantastic. Is that Melinda Clarke??
Re: Abandoned Trailer App Delayed Yet Again, This Time to August
I'm ready to just stop hearing about this game at this point. DM me after it releases and bombs.
Re: PlayStation Celebrates Pride 2021 with Free Theme and Curated LGBTQ+ Games List
@Olmaz Whether it affects Sony's bottom line or not, the representation and celebration is important. I honestly don't care if their main motivation is monetary.
Re: Round Up: Scarlet Nexus Reviews Range from Good to Great
@nessisonett I just wanted to say, as much as I loved your original pic, as a Lynch stan I approve of the change.
Re: How Closely Were You Watching E3 2021?
I got E3 Enthusiast, and I hadn't paid any attention to it. That's how boring it was.
Re: Hideo Kojima Fans Investigate PS5 Exclusive Abandoned, Reads Like Conspiracy Theories
@jdv95 Jason now says he's "no longer sure." 😵
Re: Talking Point: What Free July 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
@Danloaded I already own Untitled Goose, but I'll go in with you on Fast & Furious. I know it's supposed to be bad, but I'm a fan and want it anyway. 😀
Re: Hands On: Vibrant JRPG Tales of Arise Looks to Tantalise Newcomers and Franchise Fans Alike
I'm hoping for a really engaging story above all. I rarely finish Tales games because they wear thin before the end.
Re: A Plague Tale: Innocence PS5 Version Confirmed, Rumoured for PS Plus
@thefourfoldroot It's really not. You should give it a shot when it hits. The stealth sections, especially as the game goes on, are like puzzles to solve, with the rats being the game changer. It actually gets pretty intense.
Re: A Plague Tale: Innocence PS5 Version Confirmed, Rumoured for PS Plus
I've been through it and was appropriately moved and grossed out. A PS5 version would be a fine Plus offering.
Re: Sony Taking Sign-Ups for PS5 Firmware Update Beta Program
One of those features had best be folders.
Re: Hands On: Forget the Chaos Memes, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Has Potential
Final Fantasy! I'm in! Punishing difficulty! I'm out!
Re: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Announced for PS5, Coming 2022 from Ubisoft
I'll always have a place in my heart for Avatar not for myself, but for my Dad, who loved it and was really looking forward to the sequels. I'll look forward to some actual gameplay.
Re: Talking Point: Was Ubisoft Forward a Show to Remember?
Ha, Avatar is the one thing I might have been interested in, and I left before they showed it.
Re: Riddle This Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One PS5, PS4 Trailer
I've really enjoyed the previous Holmes games, but I also picked them both up on the cheap. Will likely do the same for this one.
Re: WitcherCon Announced for 9th July, Hopefully Has News on The Witcher 3 PS5
I'll absolutely play through a third time for some sweet sweet 60 fps and maybe ray tracing. Bring on the details!
Re: Bruce Campbell Introduces Evil Dead: The Game on PS5, PS4
@vapidwolf Ed. His name was Ed. 😂 And I'd take Jake and Bobby Jo over that dude any day. I'm thinking Kelly will be my main outside of Ash, but I'm digging Duke Henry the Red in that trailer.
Re: Jurassic World Evolution 2 Roars to PS5, PS4 This Year
@fR_eeBritney And no hyphen needed either. 😊
Re: Bruce Campbell Introduces Evil Dead: The Game on PS5, PS4
It's actually had dedicated games in the past, but they were pretty mediocre. I had Hail to the King on PS1 and Regeneration on PS2. Happy to see Pablo and Kelly.
Re: Jurassic World Evolution 2 Roars to PS5, PS4 This Year
I'm in. I still go back to the first occasionally, and this one looks to be upping the game.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order PS5 Shadow Drop Seemingly Imminent
I'll definitely go through this again after the upgrade, but FFVII and Ratchet are already going to be eating up my precious RAM this week.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order PS5 Shadow Drop Seemingly Imminent
@themightyant Honestly, playing on Easy made this game for me.
Re: Mini Review: Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl (PS4) - Mallrats Brawler with Nine NES Chapters Nootch
A View Askewniverse-set retro game is something I never knew I wanted. It's a shame it doesn't sound like the romp it could have been.
