I don't mind it and to be fair I've found that it isn't entirely accurate anyway. Games I've finished are showing incomplete percentages while games I know I'm near the end of are surprising low.
I did enjoy the episode but I think they spent too much time on the flashback
I do love the show but overall there seem to have been important moments that have been cut short while other, arguably less important parts have lasted a little too long.
I really enjoyed the episode and I thought the characters were well acted but obviously it's way too early to give a real opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing more though.
I really want to play it. Last time I replayed was almost 3 years ago and this is a perfect excuse to jump back in. However, I need to finish Midnight Suns first.
I'm not surprised with the score but even so, I am absolutely loving the game. The whole loop of talking to heroes, unlocking stuff, going on a mission, rinse and repeat is so addictive. Even with the less than stellar script, I like the cheesy dialogue. I'm over 50 hours in and I'm still finding myself staying up until the early hours of the morning because I'm constantly finding one more thing to do.
@Gloamin I haven't had it running any worse than the PS4 version and the much improved load times are a huge help, however I never had any game breaking bugs on the PS4 and with the PS5 version I've had 3 characters become basically unplayable due to bugs. I started a new Crusader whose main campaign mission just vanished (fixed by the support team); a second Crusader where the vendor got stuck in a conversation loop, making selling/buying impossible; and my old PS4 Tech-Adept is perpetually stuck in the Star Map, in a state where it can't be traversed so can't play any missions.
I could just be incredibly unlucky but yeah, so far it's been really buggy.
Don't make me choose between the Yakuzas, I'm looking forward to all 3. I've already played 0 but my steelbook editions of Kiwami/Kiwami 2 are still sealed.
I'm just curious if having upgraded from the PS4 version of FF7R will make me ineligible for the Intergrade version? If so it'll mean that although the Yuffie DLC is included with this PS+ version, the only way for me to access it, despite being a Premium subscriber, is to buy the DLC.
I really enjoyed this game but they released it with a low muddy resolution, before increasing it in a patch and immediately lowering it again. With that and the bugs I got fed up and stopped playing it in the hope that it would eventually become a complete, working game. A PS5 version would be perfect (I hope).
I started playing this again on PS5 last week and I'm absolutely loving it. I put 27 hours into the PS4 version (on PS5) before getting fed up/bored but on PS5 I'm 70 hours in and not even close to wanting it to end. I'd more than welcome some expansion content to extend it.
I've been a huge Borderlands fan since the first game and if I'm being honest, despite basically being just more Borderlands, this has been one of my most hyped games for this year. Had it preordered since it was announced and I'm loving it.
I'm not short of games to play so I'm honestly not that fussed about extended maintenance, however I mourn my lost roulette ticket from being unable to complete my daily workout.
Though let's be honest, I'd have probably got nothing from it other than the lowest possible amount of credits
Anyone else having trouble with 'My Page' after the patch? The profile and cover pics I set are gone and if I try to set a new one it won't show up. Also I can't use other people's liveries or anything because of some server error.
@ShogunRok The voice of reason. If Sony stopped making the single-player experiences people have come to love they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. They aren't that stupid.
I couldn't slam that fiver down fast enough. I never finished the game on PS4 but I don't really know why. I probably got distracted by something else but I loved my time with the game. There's something just so relaxing about simply delivering packages.
@Digit2021 Well the PS5 does have something called 'console sharing and offline play' in the settings. The verification error mentioned it and apparently when enabled you can play games while the console is offline. For some reason it was disabled so hopefully next time PSN craps itself I'll be sorted. I never had this issue when it went down on my PS3/4.
I was wondering what was going on. I got anxious because Ghost of Tsushima told me it couldn't verify the license and stopped me playing. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Thank God. I loved the original games and for me this is the only Xbox "exclusive" I've felt at all disappointed about. So glad it could be coming sooner rather than later.
10/10 for me. I know they're slightly buggy and whatnot but it's never affected my enjoyment of what I think is the best story and characters in gaming.
This is cross play though, isn't it? Not cross save? Just playing with people on other platforms not taking your progress elsewhere? If so the whole microtransaction tax (even if it did have microtransactions) shouldn't apply.
Mass Effect 2 is the best game but it doesn't have Liara outside of Lair of the Shadow Broker so I had to vote for 3. Also asking me to vote for 1 character when Liara, Tali and Garrus are all there is unfair. I'll never forgive you
Unfortunately no audio fixes. I had some issues in the first game where music and atmospheric sounds would drown out squadmates and even make some conversations a little difficult. I remember it being an issue in the PS3 versions so I was hoping it would be fixed.
I'm not sure if I'll attempt to 100% 1 and 3 but I have to get the plat for 2 again. That insanity run, though hard as nails, felt like such an accomplishment.
New n Tasty was my first experience with Abe and Oddworld and I loved it, so I was really looking forward to this. However I've given up just a few levels in because it's so frustrating and tedious. Such a shame.
I'm so glad the beta will be around until the proper launch. I imagine it'll probably launch for real alongside Endwalker. Would probably make sense. Really looking forward to it anyway - kind of been saving up a bunch of the post-Shadowbringers MSQ for this.
Tried playing it yesterday but I'm getting a lot of freezes after a mission. It seems that everytime I load back into the quinjet and even opening/closing menus while in the quinjet causes the game to freeze for 5-10 seconds. Frustrating.
Haven't quite finished Persona 5 Strikers yet, mainly because I got caught up in replaying Borderlands 3. No doubt I'll be playing both of those as well as slowly making my way through the first 15 hours of Yakuza: Like A Dragon PS5 to catch up to where I was on the PS4 version.

The only games I've played that even used them are Back 4 Blood and ESO (where no one even uses them).
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stray?
If you have Extra/Premium why wouldn't you play it? Even if it isn't your kind of game, broadening your tastes is where these subscriptions shine.

Is it likely to be a midnight launch in the UK or was it launched during the day in the other regions?

@johncalmc Then I apologise. It's just the general vibe I got while reading it and I meant nothing against you as a reviewer.
