I keep going into the settings and checking for updated graphics options and I’ve been disappointed by the small number of games that have actually been updated.
Dying Light 2 is underrated. Excited to try it out on the Pro in online co-op. If you liked Mirrors Edge at all this game gives that same feel but is more exciting imo due to the threat of the zombies.
This will be on while I play through Yakuza 5 on my Portal. I was so excited for this show because I recently got into Yakuza this year and have already played through Yakuza Zero all the up to Yakuza 5 which I’m working on. Also played Judgement this year. I had a bad feeling about this show after hearing the actor playing Kiryu never played the game. Whoever was involved with this should be replaced imo and RGG should be involved throughout the entire process. We need redemption. Think of Haruka.
I have been playing XDefiant regularly since launch. Being a huge CoD fan back in the PS3/4 era I love hopping into a couple matches at the end of my gaming session. I’m only like level 36 I think but playing a round or two most days has been a blast. The UI is so much cleaner and neater than CoD’s heinous UI. It’s a stark contrast. It’s also very light on pushing spending especially for being a F2P game. Definitely recommend it for some free, quick, fun.
I’m excited to hop into it in a few months. The only Silent Hill game I’ve beaten is P.T. which probably doesn’t count. I’m currently working through The Evil Within 2 and Resident Evil 4 Remake so I’ll be excited for this when I’m ready for another horror game.
I picked one up for my PS5 Pro as I always buy games physically when available. I have even been picking up physical editions of games I already own digitally just in case I lose access one day. For example, Like A Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name was only released digitally is the US so I went and bought a physical Japanese copy from Play Asia. Call me crazy, but I like to revisit my old games when some time has passed.
Great lineup! Didn’t feel the need to pay for Dead Space again after enjoying the original, but this is a great excuse to play it again without any pressure of finishing it.
@LikelySatan I agree Black Flag is one of my least favorite AC games. I’d recommend giving Syndicate a shot as it’s definitely the most underrated and Valhalla is an epic Viking tale that happens to have assassins creed attached to it, you’ll enjoy it more if you just treat it like a big RPG. When I started doing that I really got into it.
@LikelySatan I pre ordered it for this reason. Was planning on playing anyway but I like this series and hope it continues for many years. It’s got so much potential still.
That’s exciting! Co-op added to ANY game is always welcome, but AC sounds extra fun. It also kinda makes sense with the release date near Valentine’s Day
I can’t wait for this. As someone against preordering games, I’m going to pre order this game asap. RGG is trustworthy and this entry looks like a big step up gameplay wise for the action focused games. I just need to get through the series now so I’m caught up by the time this game comes out! Going to finish up Yakuza 4 this weekend.
This was my least favorite Dragon Age game. I love Origins and really liked 2, I thought they were both great for different reasons. I liked Inquisition a lot, but not as much as 2. I definitely thinks it’s the weakest game, but it’s the only playable DA game on modern consoles so it gets the benefit of being playable and great-looking, graphically.
I’ve been itching to get back to defending democracy! This was the push I needed to get in the hellpod again. Although I did just pick up Astro Bot so we’ll see.
@nessisonett don’t forget cost of raw materials going up, labor going up, shipping going up, demand going up. It’s not just inflation that’s rising, since COVID everything costs more. The more I reflect on the price, the more I realize it makes sense. However, the actual noticeable difference to the naked eye seems like the upgrade isn’t worth it, in my opinion.
I have been playing through this for the first time on my Vita after picking it up a few months ago. Definitely wasn’t expecting this to happen but I think I’ll skip the ps5 version for now. I like the game but find it a little repetitive. The combat takes some getting used to as well.
Checking out the Reynatis demo and the New World beta. A little Wrath of the Druids, think I’m almost at the end of it. Maybe some Yakuza 4 and Avatar co-op. Should be a good one.
They are way overestimating those numbers. They forget millions of people are still playing their PS4 Pros and don’t even plan on upgrading to a base PS5 until COD and FIFA make them do it.
I was waiting until today to pick this up and now Amazon is sold out and my GameStop isn’t getting more copies until next week. I only buy physical games when available so now I’m stuck waiting to play this. I didn’t expect it to be this big. Congrats to the team!
Jade has a great track record, but the game is more than just its’ leader. I’m not going to worry about it until we’ve seen actual gameplay. The pressure to succeed probably feels much higher now though since Concord’s failure.
As a big Dragon Age fan, I don’t see this game toppling Rebirth this year. I will continue to hope for a return to Dragon Age: Origins style or at least a faithful remake. I’ll definitely be playing this though as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all three DA games so far.
I just don’t see this competing against Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals, Valorant, XDefiant, and Warzone. High-budget, free to play, half decent games with huge fan bases already. Concord was up against some Goliaths and PlayStation didn’t realize they had.a David on their side with no spirit or soul.
@VaultGuy415 I couldn’t get past the ten hour mark. Just too boring. I loved the first game though, thought it was paced perfectly. TLoU Part 2 felt like an Oscar nominated movie that no one actually liked.
@freddquadros I’m also currently playing Yakuza 4 as well, but still on the first chapter.
In between sessions of that I’ll be playing FFVII Rebirth, just started chapter 12 so I’ll hopefully finish that up next week. Also, dipping into my old playthrough of AC: Valhalla I never finished but have about 50 hours logged. Hoping to finish that before September hits. Trying to squeeze in some arcade shooting every few days as well with XDefiant and MWIII: Modern Warfare 3 (2023)

Re: Lovingly Animated Horror Game Bye Sweet Carole Arrives on PS5 in 2025

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reportedly Has a Co-Op Game Mode in Development

@Sequel lol same. $700 ain’t that bad when the base ps3 was $600 almost 20 years ago
Re: Vince Zampella Defends PS5 Pro Price, Says 'It's Actually Not That Bad'
He’s right though. $700 pc wouldn’t quite do what this machine can
