Sweet, thanks for the heads up, gonna make sure this is installed for when work is done!

Also Mass Effect Legendary is legendary. My weekend was totally consumed

I guess Rockstar will have to start concepts for a new game now

I'll care when the games release to wide critical success. Until then, I'm just thinking about their recent history and its not that big of a deal.

Just hope people are prepared for a bug farm.

@somnambulance You know, I enjoyed XV, but Ardyn was a bad villain in my opinion. The end of the game was pretty strangely done too. I did like some of the secret dungeons, but I wish there were more secrets throughout the game. We all know the development hell the game went through, but it just seemed lacking in meaningful side quests and activities. I played the game day one though and I understand Royal added a lot to the game, it almost sounds like some of that stuff should have been there from the beginning. I don't know, it was a solid game though with maybe some wasted potential.

You are spot on with VIIR. That was my '20 game of the year no doubt about it. Sorry to hear about you losing your job, but the brightside was the gaming binge sounds like!

@somnambulance Yeah totally. When Project Athia was shown it blew my mind. Surely Forspoken is a 2022 title, right? I think we may see XVI in 21, but Square Enix is known for delays. I'm really hoping for an adult story, more so than XV, maybe like Tactics was. The previews kind of bears this out too which makes me even more hyped. Hoping also for a return to late game open world, like so many of the series earlier titles.

One of the best rogue likes, but still a rogue like.

@somnambulance No doubt, Forspoken and FFXVI both look super promising.

@Col_McCafferty If they finally come out with new IP this gen consider a brick sh*tted.

As a solo player I selfishly wish they never found so much success with multi-player.

Gosh so we have to complain about timed exclusives every day?

Interesting that the numbers are about the same as Returnal so far - about 50% of pollers.

And hell yeah I bought it

Looks like the definitive way to play this PS 'exclusive' lol

There are game trading sites online to trade physical games with other people, in case you don't have any PS5 owning buddies. So you flip Demons Souls for MM, then MM for Returnal etc all for the price of postage if you get the right people.

I really hope they don't waste resources on this. This team has really developed into a best in class organization, I would like for them to develop completely new ip.

So stoked for tomorrow!

@ShogunRok Add me to the list requesting release dates / eta please sir

I guess I'm alone here when I thought, "25, that's it?" Lol

@manonfire You get a free upgrade since you bought the PS4 version! It is only the people that did not buy the PS4 version (got it free from PS Plus) that will have to buy the game for the upgrade.

@Flaming_Kaiser Then why are you waiting for a massive discount? The upgrade is free since you bought the PS4 version.

@huyi There is no double dip. If you bought the PS4 version, you get a FREE upgrade to Intergrade.

Yes, the DLC costs money, but its a big expansion, those usually do.

@Flaming_Kaiser Huh? What is the relevance of you owning a PS4? I'm missing something.

They probably shouldn't have given the game away. It seems like most people are just pissed because they got a free one and now they have to pay something for the upgrade.

If they wouldn't have given the game away, then they give a free upgrade to Intergrade and charge for DLC, no one would be complaining.

People getting a free game are suddenly entitled to everything else..

Honestly they have been transparent about what was going to happen this whole time. Not sure why people are getting the pitchforks now.

I think they are probably looking at PSN accounts that actually played the game and came up with those figures. People latching on to "rentals"

70 bucks for 5 hours of gameplay that has been extended out to 20 to 25 due to unnecessary difficulty.

Hey, if you can get away with it, why not?

This is a little tongue in cheek, but also a little bit how I feel about this game and Deathloop.

The Vita was such as awesome product. A few shortcomings and bad vision did it in (much more the latter).

The lack of L2 and R2 buttons and the expensive storage options were the only downsides to the hardware. The OLED screen was magnificent, and it is my favorite way to play PSX classics.

I still hold out hope that we'll get another handheld from Sony that corrects the hardware problems and comes with another amazing screen. I know it's next to impossible though. Until then, My Razer Kishi on my Note 20 U with Remote Play will have to suffice.

@Loftimus Ah yeah, if you bought the digital only PS5 you're right.

This game is way better than I expected. Several times this game has made me giggle with glee as the top two racers get T Boned on a crossover clearing the way for me to take first in a tough race.

Good times, and good on Sony to send this one our way. For the peeps not giving it more than one shot, give it another go, some of the tracks are brilliantly designed.

It's taking everything I have not to watch this trailer!

@Loftimus You can find the PS4 paid version for way less than that. It's a free upgrade to PS5 from there and then you'll just have to pay for the Yuffie DLC if you want it.

Sony should try and make the next Call of Duty timed exclusive lol

I don't get why people don't understand timed exclusivity. You may not like the practice, but its effective.

@sanderson72 I'm aware of the age, but in my opinion, it hasn't aged as well as a lot of other classics. For example, Symphony of the Night has aged extremely well and released in 1997. Final Fantasy IX, in 2000. If you want to go same genre, Diablo II has fared better. All my opinions, but wasn't trying to hurt feelings. Hope you enjoy it

Loved the game but it hasn't aged well

I have PS5 patch anxiety for PS4 games. Can't bring myself to start any unpatched games in case this happens!

Time to request 3 months off work

I expected this, but great to have confirmation. This is going to be a ton of game for the money.

Great review Liam!

@nessisonett Maybe everyone just waits for you to comment before we start commenting. Trip on that little pill sir

@nessisonett How are you almost always the first commentor? It's like you are paid to comment as fast as possible lol

@OmegaStriver Appreciate that feedback. This is the reason I didn't get it. I don't really like playing the same things over and over just so I can memorize them.

Day one if I can get it <60, otherwise waiting for first sale. Looks phenomenal though!

@Bunchesopuppies Oh, so the issues you are having are playing the PS4 version on the Ps5?

If so, hopefully the upgrade fixes everything.

@Bunchesopuppies I didn't think the PS5 version was out until May 14?

@Spoonman-2 I wasn't talking about the sequel, just the original game update, the one we got for free a few weeks ago. Or maybe I'm confused and only the sequel has a free upgrade?

How can you not be hyped for this? I cannot wait to play this in my media room!!

Pretty sweet they just gave this away and now we get the update too!

I swear Sony has turned the service from a side thought to a must have in less than a year. I remember early last year the games were pretty cruddy each month and a lot of complaints. Ever since the PS5 came though they've really upped their game. I appreciate the free games and am subbed for a couple more years.

That reminds me I still need to beat Persona 5

**Gasp** - Sony started the pandemic on purpose!
