@Cloud39472 Origins and Odyssey was the peak of the entire AC franchise. The Ezio games are horrendously overrated. I'm saying this as someone who has been there since the reveal of the first game (which was originally supposed to be a PS3 launch title).
Forced diversity/tokenism isn't ok. It's a red flag. This game is not that. Her story as an onna-musha will be interesting. But you can blame other studios for shoehorning diversity as much as you can blame the loons that call literally anything woke.
@8bitOG Steam players review bomb games all the time and most of the time for frivolous reasons. Theyre the most sensitive bunch of gamers. It's naive to blindly insult the reviewer here without checking first.
I want a new Uncharted and a new Infamous. With the original teams. The top pic made me think of the latter and the namedrop of the former made me think of that.
Cool thing about consoles is you plug n play. Years of PC gaming and nearly every game I got had some stupid issues that required Web searches and 1+ hour to resolve, if there even was a resolution.
The pedestal people stick PC on is too high.
The Pro isn't just a small difference over the base, and it isn't the price of a good gaming PC That's some real sour grapes.
@get2sammyb I don't know how you can say concord was a very good looking game when the cast of characters looked like you hit the random generator button in an RPG.
@TheDudeElDuderino anyone who says the PS5 is meh or a dropped ball needs to spend time self reflecting. They also seem to be the types of people who think €800 can get you a quality gaming PC.
It's also a shame that some people are turning literally every article into a whining about price discussion. Give it a rest and stay on topic.
I don't care about the disk drive. I haven't played any of my physical games in over a year. The lack of a stand is baffling to me. The price being 800 euro is too high. I was a day 1 preorder now I'm not so sure.
Sad to read about Bungie. We should be getting excited when they are working on a new game. But that's the industry isn't it? So many of the old guard have changed so much that they are only a name these days. I mean even Rocksteady who are of a more recent generation are not the same anymore.
It's not because it's live service. It's so funny seeing people using that as a bogeyman in the comments all the time not realising some games they like are live service. It's bombing because it looks generic and has the worst cast of character designs. Nobody wants to play as unappealing characters. They want to play as cool characters.
While this is an action game it's not that difficult. I'm cruising through it and the input lag isn't noticeable at all on performance mode. The only sticky part is when I try to use an item but this has been an issue in Souls games for years. The gourd works on time which is actually an improvement on Souls games.
Every action game has its own cadence anyway and you should be adapting to each one after an hour or two.
Wasn't one of the concerns an absence of the fog? I guess that's not an issue then. I wonder if they added it after backlash or it was always going to be there?
I just hope the game isn't vanilla 'for a modern audience' and it's just quality of life/graphics improvements they were referring to. SH needs to disturb people.

Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
Still available in Ireland. I got mine. Turned down the 30th anniversary version but got the controller.
Re: Don't Give Up on Jin Just Yet, More Ghost of Tsushima Spin-Offs Planned
I thought First Light was awful. I hope they have upped their standalone game since.
I've also never felt Jin needed to exist outside of GoT. Not against it either.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Looks Sublime on PS5
MGS3 is not simply Kojima's best game. It's the best game. Can't wait for this remake, gonna be playing it on the Pro.
Re: The Last of Us PS5 Is Available Now with PS Plus Extra, Premium
I could never bother to finish this on ps3. I might give it another shot.
Re: The Biggest PS5, PS4 Winners from a Humongous State of Play
@Zemo55 onna-musha isn't woke but I've no doubt you don't read history books and want to live in your fantasy.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed on PS5 Until 14th February
I'll be buying LAD in February not this. You don't clash with my goofy darling franchise.

Re: Ubisoft 'Fully Mobilised' After Soft Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Sales
A lot of people aren't buying it because of the Disney-picked protagonist.
Re: Palworld's Release in Japan on Hold Indefinitely Thanks to Nintendo Lawsuit
Nintendo love a good lawsuit. I bought it so even if it gets delisted I'm still having my fun

Re: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Leaks for PS5, PS4
Oh my god nostalgia hype. We need Blood Omen too. Kain deserves his time in the spotlight.

Re: 13 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now on PS5, PS4
Far Cry 5 and Chernobylite are the only 2 worth caring about and I've already beaten them both.
Re: Preview: Unknown 9 Awakening Plays Like a Long Lost PS3 Remaster on PS5, PS4
I want a new Uncharted and a new Infamous. With the original teams. The top pic made me think of the latter and the namedrop of the former made me think of that.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2024?
Chernobylite and Far Cry 5 the only good games in that list. Both also have a cool story.
Re: PS5 Pro Pre-Orders Will Be Exclusive to PS Direct for Two Weeks
@themightyant graphics cards were being used by crypto miners and there was less of them available. Made sense for scalpers to do their wormy thing.

Re: Prospective PS5 Pro Buyers Cause Surge in Disc Drive Sales
Well this is embarrassing. No doubt most of those sales aren't people who are buying a Pro. Either retailers or scalpers looking to manipulate prices.
Re: Capcom Finally Breaks Silence on Dragon's Dogma 2, Confirms New Update Is Incoming
I was fine with the launch version. The fps thing was overplayed. Though any performance improvement is welcome.
Re: 'It Makes Sense Why the PS5 Pro Price Is So High,' Say Tech Experts
@sanderson72 bleeding edge samsung goes for that price.
700/800 isn't a lot of money for a luxury purchase these days. People still think it's 2004.
Re: Sony to Start Selling Refurbished PS5 Consoles
@sanderson72 don't buy anything from CEX. They are ripoff merchants who clearly target people who don't know any better.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?
The top option for Q1 should be "For the Emperor!"
You guys missed the chance.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
I don't care about the disk drive. I haven't played any of my physical games in over a year. The lack of a stand is baffling to me. The price being 800 euro is too high. I was a day 1 preorder now I'm not so sure.

What's their position on snakes?
Re: Soapbox: Astro Bot PS5 Is Not a Graveyard, It's a Joyful Demonstration of Sony's Unique Ability to Reinvent Itself
I have zero interest in Astro because, like Sackboy, he's just not marketable. But I am interested in seeing the cameos.
Re: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5) - Grimdark Shooter Is an Instant Co-Op Classic
@AdamNovice this week Casting of Frank Stone.
Next week Spesh Murine 2.
Week after Dead Rising remaster. Busy month
Re: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5) - Grimdark Shooter Is an Instant Co-Op Classic
Glad the game I preordered and was hyped for so long got a 9
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself
Sad to read about Bungie. We should be getting excited when they are working on a new game. But that's the industry isn't it? So many of the old guard have changed so much that they are only a name these days. I mean even Rocksteady who are of a more recent generation are not the same anymore.
Re: How Long Does It Take to Find a Match in Concord on PS5, PC?
Redesign the characters so they look appealing and go f2p or do a free weekend
Re: Concord PS5, PC Sales Estimates Are Somehow Even Worse Than We Thought
It's not because it's live service. It's so funny seeing people using that as a bogeyman in the comments all the time not realising some games they like are live service. It's bombing because it looks generic and has the worst cast of character designs. Nobody wants to play as unappealing characters. They want to play as cool characters.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
Not touching it. No hate for Ubisoft but it reeks of Disney meddling.
Instead I preordered about 4 games.

Re: Black Myth: Wukong (PS5) - A Spectacularly Creative Action Romp
@2here2there that's so wrong. It's full of heart.
Performance issues are not really an issue. I can perfect dodge all day.
Don't think of this as a Soulslike and certainly don't play it like that. It's not a Soulslike.
Re: Sony to Short-Change PS Stars Members with PS Plus Renewals Starting Next Year
That's pretty ruthless but I'm not going to cancel (because I'm not a child)
Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Is a Huge Game with Many Secrets to Uncover
I wish games would just be linear again. All these big maps have me fatigued.
Re: Someone At Sony Has Got to Get DeathSprint 66 on PS5
This looks cool and doesn't have any of that Fortnite art direction nonsense.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Eating Your Inputs on PS5, and It's a Problem with Performance Mode

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
Yep I'm playing it. Not too easy not too hard.
Re: Directive 8020 Is the Next Dark Pictures Horror from Supermassive Games, Coming to PS5
Been waiting for them to do sci-fi and since this was teased in Devil in Me it's been on my must buy list.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024?
I can't vote because I didn't watch it or care or even know it was on.
Btw Black Myth Wukong is a real game after all, and it's pretty good.
