There’s a long list of problems with this game

• Bad character models
• Basic stealth sections that actually make no sense when you think about it
• Replaying the same levels multiple times
• Replaying missions to unlock a rarity and again towards the end of the game if you want the true ending
• The constant stop and start during gameplay. Dialogue/cutscene. Move forward a few steps. More dialogue/another cutscene
• Minimal voice acting
• 90% of the story is told through static text drops. You don’t even meet one of the characters you unlock. There’s just a lot of text and they join you out of nowhere.
• Jarring cuts from cutscene FMV’s to in game graphics
• Limited selection of enemies
• Can’t switch targets when locked on

YET! I still really enjoyed playing it 😂

Got the platinum trophy last week so some new content is good! Was really hoping they’d fix the textures on the original map before working on new ones. Some of the worst textures I’ve seen this generation.

After the Starwars Outlaws patch I don’t have high hopes for this one!

Reminds me of Chronicles of Riddick, which was a fps and it worked really well.

Pretty disappointing really. Playing Star Wars Outlaws at the moment and it’s really underwhelming. There’s a lot of shimmering and the overall image doesn’t look that clean. Wouldn’t be so bad if the frame rate was a locked 60fps but it dips from time to time. All the sony games look great, but having watched a few digital foundry videos it’s clear PSSR needs work, even in their games.

Continuing with SlitterHead after having to restart due to the trophy tracker not tracking certain trophies. This meant I couldn’t get the trophies for anything that kept count because it would just stay on 0%.

Also Palworld and maybe Phasmaphobia!

Been waiting for this update before cracking on with the game. Once I’m done with Slitterhead I’ll give it my full attention!

I still don’t understand the casting of Jack Black to be honest. I like him and definitely won’t be watching this movie, but it’s still an odd choice for Steve.

@t0nyth3t3rrific if it gets more people playing the game, then the update wasn’t a waste. Even if people already bought it they still might recommend it to friends after finally playing it.

I think this game was very underrated. I preferred it to the Dead Space remake and actually thought the melee combat was really good and satisfying. Just tried the pro update and graphically it’s still one of the best looking games this gen.

I’m still curious how the multiplayer works. It sounds very Animal Crossing where you invite people to your world but don’t actually create one together.

Im looking forward to giving it a try.

Star Wars outlaws is incredibly disappointing on pro too, with worse image than the base PS5 quality mode. Doesn’t even hit a consistent 60fps either.

I expected still having the choice between Quality and Performance when I got a Pro. Didn’t think I’d actually have to choose between Pro or base PS5 on certain games

Got Astro bot on sale last weekend for £44.99 so I’ll be continuing with that. It’s nice to play an upbeat colourful game for once!

Might make a start on Slitterhead too.

Multiplayer wise I’ll be playing some Palworld and maybe Phasmaphobia.

I have a pro and tried the demo with ray tracing. It definitely wasn’t a smooth 60fps so I turned it off.

@zhoont I tried the Dead Rising Demo with added ray tracing on pro and it played worse than the demo did on the regular PS5. These extra features sound good, but why add them if the game can’t run smoothly.

@Fiendish-Beaver before the pro came out they wrote a lot of articles I wasn’t interested in. Only difference is I didn’t click on them and complain

I’ve been doing the transfer over wi-fi and it had an estimated time of 1 hour. Over 12 hours later and it’s only on 84%. My internet is usually pretty good so I don’t understand why it’s taking so long.

I wanted to cancel and just dl my saves via cloud, but heard that could corrupt data.

My biggest problem with FFVII Rebirth was the poor textures in certain areas. Is this being fixed too or is it just resolution and performance?

@breakneck yeah, this is the same where ever you go. People are more likely to voice their complaints and criticisms which make most comment sections on the internet a place of negativity. If I buy an item online and it works exactly like I hoped I’m not gonna leave a review. If, however it wasn’t what I wanted or didn’t work as intended I’m going to leave a negative review. It’s the same with games, and this is how it’s always gonna be.

I still don’t get all the negativity around the pro. I won’t be getting one, it’s not for me because I’m happy to play games at 30fps and the dragons dogma 2 frame rate was a none issue for me. But people have been moaning about frame rates and resolutions all this gen and Sony decide to release something for these players and everyone still moans. Not to mention the price, which isn’t actually that bad considering what specs your getting.

Doesn’t look too bad. I play Pokémon, Stardew, Palworld and all that but it’s a bit pricey at £44.99. Might try it later on down the line.

Shame about the voice integration because that was a big part of the fun. Hope they get it working on console.

Hopefully be playing the console version of Phasmaphobia. Hopefully it’s a decent port, I really enjoyed it on pc! I’ve also got A Quiet Place and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit to play. FNAF has some really good sprite animations and gives me OG Clock Tower vibes.

@luke88 I’ve been getting into matches really quickly and it’s always a full group of 16 players

I’ve been playing it on and off for a couple weeks and it’s good fun. My main problem is the lag spikes which should get fixed. The limited base building is a good thing in my books because you only have a couple minutes to build one and it’s simple and easy to use. There’s walls, towers, gates, ramps, bunkers and turrets. Dunno what more you would want really. The actual gunplay is really satisfying too and the game can get crazy hectic. Also the bug corpses hang around after you killed them and it’s really cool seeing the other enemies climb them to get up and over your base walls.

@Cal_ it’s really sweet, but you don’t have to worry about me. It’s just a bit of fun. You already stated your opinion in a post before that so you didn’t need to specifically reply to someone saying they enjoyed the game as if their opinion is somehow invalid and yours is fact.

@Cal_ maybe stop trying to push your opinion as if it’s a fact. They said they enjoyed it so why do you need to tell them it’s terrible

So many entitled people. If they don’t want to make dlc they don’t have to. It’s that simple. Move on

Starship Troopers Extermination - Still having a blast with this game which I am preferring over Helldivers 2. There’s just so much more going on and I really enjoy the base building and defence sections.

Palworld - Super addictive although I’m a bit underwhelmed by the games graphics. The characters and Pals look good, but I’ve seen some of the worst textures this gen. Luckily the gameplay makes up for it, especially playing co-op.

Silent Hill 2 - Not much to say really. Impressive remake that remains faithful to the original while expanding on certain parts. Enjoying my time with it and can’t wait to play more

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead - Bought this on a whim and so far I’m pleasantly surprised. Definitely not as good as Alien Isolation but it’s still a well made game. It also looks much better than I thought it would graphically although I find the monster walking animations off. It’s like they’re sliding on the floor at times.

@Svark you can actually play the whole game if your friend owns the full version. If two people with the friend pass play they only get the first level.

I personally think the frame rate problems have been hugely exaggerated. Not once did it ruin my enjoyment of the game.

This is basically the game me and my brothers dreamed of growing up watching the film. It is a bit rough around the edges and there is definitely less coordination then HellDivers 2, but it’s great fun. The bug corpses hanging about after being killed is a great feature and when piles of them stack up against a base wall the other enemies can climb up them. Just like the film!

Giving Pal World co-op a try later and then I’ll be playing some Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos tomorrow along with some 7 days to Die in the evening. Also be popping on Starship Troopers Extermination for a bit too, which is a fun game. Seeing as Sunday and Monday is my weekend I’ll be playing Silent Hill 2 all of Monday as well.

Been playing 7 Days to Die, the best survival game on PS5! Also continuing with Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos, which is a really nice chilled back game.

I honestly don’t care really. I see the image for about 2 seconds before I boot up the game. Don’t even understand how this is an issue.

I’ve played a few hours and really enjoyed it so far! Though I’m wondering if I should put it one side and wait for all these improvements. I bought it along with Spider-Man 2, which isn’t gripping me as much as I thought. Might be worth moving onto that for now.

I keep meaning to buy banishers but my back log of games is crazy long at the moment

@KyushuTrail Nothing beats that satisfying feeling of finally taking down a boss in that game. Then again, there’s nothing worse then that sinking feeling when you realise that boss has a second phase

Funko Fusion. I’ve got too many trophies to quit now!

I really wanna play it but I can’t justify spending £29.99 on a game I’ve already beaten many times before on many different platforms.

I am unfortunately playing through the game right now and aside from the novelty of seeing all the characters and game worlds it’s a slog. I started with Hotfuzz on my second profile and for a split moment I thought this could actually be a decent game so started playing it on my main. Also, maybe it’s just me but I’m finding the game to be quite difficult. The lack of level checkpoints and unskipable cut scenes also drags the game down a lot. You have 3 lives and once they’re gone it’s game over and back to the start of the level. Other things like using items is a pain too. A quick heal would be good, but you have to navigate over to and equip the healing item and then hold square to use it, hoping not to get hit by the infinite spawning enemies. Graphics look nice though.

Edit: Also, the story is very barebones and the cutscenes start and stop so abruptly that it ruins the flow of the game. Every time a cutscene starts it’s like being hit in the face with a pie.

Edit: Does anyone know if it’s possible to change worlds at any point? I’m stuck playing the Thing and I want to change it up.

I really enjoyed the demo. The title screen and connection error messages were among the best I’ve seen

I played Rebirth for 90+ hours on quality mode and it was my favourite gaming experience on PS5 to date. Only complaint was the low quality textures which the pro isn’t fixing from the sounds of things.

I WANT TO BUY IT, BUT I’M POOR!

@tselliot Have you even played it or are you just jumping on the hate bandwagon?

@BecauseBecause sounds like you’re in the minority and are in fact hard to please

@Olmaz why should it be free? Someone took the time to make it and they have a right to be paid for that. I haven’t played it myself but it’s clearly a well made, fun game.

Was hoping they’d do a similar remake like Crash and Spyro but I’ll still take this! I remember first seeing the trailer for it at the beginning of the Casper: A Spirited Beginning VHS. It was better than the film!

@scoobdoo Have you even played it? Because if you can beat the game just by pressing X that’s impressive. Even more so if you played the PS5 version because that’s the default jump button.

There’s plenty more to every fight then just hitting attack and you know it. Other wise you could say the same thing about Demon/Dark Souls, God of War and Devil May Cry.
