It's a fantastic game and I want to play NG+ even though I have the platinum, but it is a bit buggy and has performance issues. Definitely was not built for the PS5.
@LifeGirl cancel culture is always a loud minority and always people who don't buy things anyway.
I don't know how much of this success is due to the funny boycott giving the game free advertising and how much is due to HP fans loving the game and spreading the good word. I'm not a HP fan and from what I played I think it's a dreamy game for them. I'd like a new LOTR game that does it for us.
First game I loved. Was really into Aloy. Second game it was pretty evident that her personality isn't so nice (were they trying too hard with the strong woman trope?). I don't think the story ever reached the first's either. They didn't do enough with Sylens and now with Lance gone it's too late.
Now we are left with strong confrontational sassy Aloy and her new girlfriend who may be the same. I think the only thing that would draw me in is a rumoured working Horus.
Star Wars and Sunbreak are easily the best. Horizon FW didn't live up to the first game for me, and Aloy's personality and constant fluff talking became too grating.
I've played this game for years and I'm not surprised. They keep trying to release new paid content yet won't fix bugs that have existed for years. They don't actually care about the game, just trying to make money.
They already released a PS5 upgrade patch which unsurprisingly didn't have everything. A notable absence is the ability to alter the tether limit between host and joinee when the PS5 is hosting a multiplayer session. Something that already exists on the PC version and once did on PS4 before they randomly removed it.
Dino Crisis reigns supreme. Capcom admitted years ago they wanted to revive some IPs including DC and BoF. I think it's time to fix the franchise killing error that is DC3 with a remake of 1.
Any accent from Britain is a British accent so yes there is such a thing. Classically trained actors, particularly ones cast as sands n sandals characters, tend to have the pronounced British accent aka the posh one. I'm assuming Teal'c went with that.
I enjoyed the Nioh games more than From's games because they were not Soulslike games. To me they were clearly something else. A hybrid of Ninja Gaiden and Souls games, too different to be simply labeled a different flavour of Soulsborne. I'm hoping this game is also like that.
Trophies should extend the life of a game and make you appreciate it more when otherwise you would just beat it and drop it. Games like this and The Quarry are just ruined if you go for the platinum.
They should be remaking Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2. It was the most natural progression from MGSV. Then remake Metal Gear Solid. MGS3 is one of the last games they should be remaking.
He was only lead writer because Drew Karpyshyn was moved to SW:TOR during ME2 development. Drew is the real influence behind Mass Effect's story/lore. BioWare lost a lot of the OG staff a long time ago and you can see the difference.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy's Arachnophobia Mode Magics Scary Spiders into Cuddly Critters
Better if people just get over their fear like I did. Hiding from your phobia isn't the way to go.
Re: Three More PS Plus Essential Games Up for Download Now on PS5, PS4
Chivalry 2 is a good month tbf. Descenders could be funny if you can play with friends
Re: PS5's Sci-Fi Thriller The Invincible Gets 10 Minutes of Tense Gameplay
@BeerIsAwesome didn't know Stalker is based off a novel but to be honest it's not the story that made it a success.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dead Island 2?
Probably an 8 but I have to comment on how bad mirrors are. The reflections looks so half assed. I guess not everything survived the dev hell.
Re: Activision Blizzard Boss Bobby Kotick Warns Billion Dollar Buyout Saga Ain't Over
Lucifer didn't get paid
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2023 Announced
A roguelike cycling game sounds hilarious but I get what it's really about.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Motion Capture Work May Be Complete
They have the experience but I do hope it's not going to be a case of overambitious calamity.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is Flying Up Sales Charts After Stellar State of Play Show
@UltimateOtaku91 RE4 isn't simply a remake it is a new game with the scale of the changes made. You can't just discount all they've done that easily.
Re: Aliens: Dark Descent Nails That Oppressive Alien Atmosphere in Latest Preview Gameplay
Really excited but worried about the June release. It's too close to FF16 and Diablo IV just to name two.
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Will Actually Come Out Next Month on PS5, PS4
I think 7/10 is being generous
Re: Suikoden Remasters Release Date Could Be Incoming as Games Get Rated
I'd prefer remasters of Suikoden 2 onwards.
Re: Best Anime Games on PS5
Dragon Quest is more anime than FF or Star Ocean due to the visuals.
Re: Random: Monster Energy Thinks You Might Confuse Its Drinks with Monster Hunter
I've enjoyed both for years and both are great. But nobody I talk to about either gets confused.
Re: Almost Every Mainline Final Fantasy Game Will Soon Be Playable on Current PlayStation Consoles
I want 13 ported and I want it 5+ years ago
Re: Most PlayStation Fans Aren't At All Sold on a PS5 Remote Play Handheld
Remote play should be an app for devices we already own.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's PS5 Exclusive DLC Has Another Staggering Settlement to Explore

Re: Railway Empire 2 Pulls into Station PS5 on 25th May
I think I'll get into the railway empire niche with this one.
Re: Poll: Which PS5, PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in April 2023?
Star Wars and Sunbreak are easily the best. Horizon FW didn't live up to the first game for me, and Aloy's personality and constant fluff talking became too grating.
Re: Konami's Return to Games Continues with New Studio Opening
Let's hope this works out because they were just hoarding IPs for years.
Re: ARK: Survival Evolved to Ascend to PS5 in August, No Upgrade Path for Existing Owners

Re: Soapbox: Hold On, Is the PS3 a Retro Console?
Depends on the age of the person I guess. Anything after PSX is sunset not retro.
Re: Capcom Fans Split Over What Classic Game Should Be Remade Next
Dino Crisis reigns supreme. Capcom admitted years ago they wanted to revive some IPs including DC and BoF. I think it's time to fix the franchise killing error that is DC3 with a remake of 1.
Then do Onimusha.
Re: Fort Solis Confirms Planetfall on PS5 This Summer
I'm so starved for space horror/thriller that I'll get this even if the gameplay is about as existent a visual novel.
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Protects the Precious in May on PS5, PS4
I'm so not confident in this game but I hope I'm wrong. It just has too many red flags.
Re: A Bunch of EA Classics Are Getting Delisted from PS Store
Bad Company 2 is the peak of the franchise.
Re: 17 More PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available Now on PS5, PS4
I wanted to try Immortals but wanted to wait for the inevitable PS+ month. Finally it's here but it's still going in the backlog for a bit.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Wolverine to Boast 'Very Cool' Dialogue Tech
Knowing them it's gonna be cool. Hogwarts changes your voice to a whisper if you're invisible so I'm all for attention to detail and new ideas.
Re: Random: We Could've Wound Up with a British Kratos in God of War
Any accent from Britain is a British accent so yes there is such a thing. Classically trained actors, particularly ones cast as sands n sandals characters, tend to have the pronounced British accent aka the posh one. I'm assuming Teal'c went with that.
Re: Far Cry 5 Potentially Getting 60fps PS5 Patch on Fifth Anniversary
One of the better Far Cry games. Had some great villains too.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty?
I enjoyed the Nioh games more than From's games because they were not Soulslike games. To me they were clearly something else. A hybrid of Ninja Gaiden and Souls games, too different to be simply labeled a different flavour of Soulsborne. I'm hoping this game is also like that.

Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Apparates to Number One on PS5
@Juanalf probably kids coming of age
Re: Surprise! Forspoken and Other Square Enix Games Didn't Meet Sales Expectations
Squeenix got too big for their own good.
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Could Be the RoboCop Game We've Always Wanted
I don't think SF6 and RoboCop are threats to each other.
Re: Forspoken PS5 Update Improves Performance, Tweaks Gameplay Options, More
A game has to be really good for me to ignore the attitude of its developers and frankly this ain't it.
Re: PS5 Firmware Update Finally Changes How Game Discs Work
Damn I was hoping it fixed the PS4 version popping up every time if I have the ps5 upgrade installed when I have a disc in.
Re: All Yakuza / Like a Dragon Games Ranked: Which Yakuza Games to Play and Where to Start
I fully agree with 1 and 2 as they would be mine and I've played them all since the PS2 debut. 0 did a great job humanising Majima.
Re: Do You Want Dead Space 2 and 3 Remakes? Time to Tell EA
Dead Space 3 needs a total overhaul. Dead Space Extraction should be remastered and released with DS2 remake
Re: Rumour: Konami to Go Big with Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake, New Castlevania in Coming Months
They should be remaking Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2. It was the most natural progression from MGSV. Then remake Metal Gear Solid. MGS3 is one of the last games they should be remaking.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Flying High with Second Week at Number One
This is definitely a dream game for HP fans. I'm not one of them and I think it's great. I can only imagine the bliss they are feeling.
Re: Like a Dragon: Ishin! (PS5) - One of the Most Intense and Intricate Yakuza Games Yet
Love RGG games but
Sounds like your typical cons of their games. All the same we finally have an Isshin release hooray
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Hogwarts Legacy?
We all know why that 6% gave it a 1/10 and we know they didn't play the game.
Re: The Witcher 3 Update Stealthily Adds New Witcher Gear Swords
Masterworks all, you can't go wrong. Or so I hear.
Re: PS5, PS4 Shooter Atomic Heart Gushes Gameplay Details in Lengthy New Trailer
I'm interested in this because of the Bioshock credentials but I'll probably wait for a discount. The price is just obscene.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Version Is Getting a New Patch 'Very Soon'
@mvhess I don't have that issue must be a glitch
Re: Lead Mass Effect 2, 3 Writer Leaves BioWare After 19 Years
He was only lead writer because Drew Karpyshyn was moved to SW:TOR during ME2 development. Drew is the real influence behind Mass Effect's story/lore. BioWare lost a lot of the OG staff a long time ago and you can see the difference.
Re: Forspoken Is Leaking All Over the Place Ahead of Next Week's Release
I'm just waiting for Dead Space while enjoying the ps5 upgrades we got recently + some good ps extra/monthly games
Re: Suicide Squad Leak Reveals Live Service Elements Like a Battle Pass, More
The UI looks so generic. Live service does work in single player games but only if done right. Battle pass is not it.
