Pretty much working out how I thought it might. I hope it does well after it's all patched up. I love the series.

Like most things PS5, I would definitely play games from previous gens. PS5 cloud streaming is pointless for me.

@Medic_alert I figured this out.
Now to play New Vegas in the worst way possible. In my hopes and dreeeeams

@Loamy I had assumed the latter, yes.

@Weebleman I don't think you are doing any of this right.

The big racing games nowadays all have this abysmal shout cast atmosphere like they're about to plug whatever bitcoin Axe body spray is shilling.

@Kraven same here. I have one of those jobs that is 95% chill and 5% on fire, so I am glad I can play it on down time. I am actually playing more than one PS game a year now! I also love that it includes all the haptics and rumble.

This means I can play the worst version of New Vegas in my bed. Good bye forever.

Maybe I'll give it a try again.

@Sensechat The first SR was an accomplishment for a lot of reasons. I'll be playing this on my Switch, and owned SR on PS1 and DC. I'm not sure that makes me a fanboy.

I haven't seen any of SR2 in the collection and don't know what (if any) supplemental content will be in here

@RagnarLothbrok luckily it's $50.

I feel awful about it but I just don't have the funds. There's too much out, all the time. Even when nothing new is coming, I still have dozens of things to catch up with and surprises that come out of nowhere. It's a good problem, but I really want this game.

My kids play it all the time. It's not an insidious thing in our household though. They ask to buy things in exchange for chores every now and then. Honestly, the game part of the game looks pretty fun. I get it.

That's super cool. I think giving answers like that means they understand the assignment. The pop-in, tho.

@Dalamar woof. Get back to us sometime after you give it a go. It's... unfortunate.

Dude whaaaaaaaaat? Sometimes the gaming gods are merciful.
Blood Omen 2 is really bad though. I wish it wasn't, don't get mad. What the hell was that game with Sexy Vampire named Sexy Vampire? Bloodvein? Vein...blood...Purple Vein?
Bloodrain. Blood Rayne? It's like that piece of sh*t.

@RoomWithaMoose feels good, right?

@RoomWithaMoose man I am happy I have no idea what that word means. I'll just stay over here

@Ichiban Personally, I lean towards enthusiast press and celebrations of the hobby. I know it's all corrupt but there's no such thing as an honest consumer anymore, and everyone says journos are corrupt and blah blah blah. I'm just here to have fun...even if half the time it is gallows humor.

Bending all these rules just for Starfield seems a little silly...

@PorkChopExpress I was with you until the "MTX" one. Lol trust me I wish I didn't care. I straight up won't play a game that keeps content from me behind a pay wall. MK used to be one of my favorite series until it became a skellington what to hang DLC on. I mean it, I wish I didn't care. I very tangibly have to care.

@Flaming_Kaiser Welp, 2 was 60 fps on PS2, so I guess the march of times cut it's frames in half on a more powerful platform.
Anyway, I won't have them twisting my arm. Especially since PS4 performance improvements were such a big selling point for the OG PS5. If trailers are anything to go by, they are now trying to sell me a console on that same promise. No.
It's all performative anyway. There's unofficial patches out there for a bunch of other games that improve performance or get them up to 60fps. I'll be watching closely to see how much the "new" performance improvements on the Pro mirror games that already have unofficial 60fp patches. One thing's for sure, Push will tell me every one that is released.

I don't believe any of it for a second. It will be through AC Infinite or something that steers Shadows players to spend money in AC Infinite. Shadows will have all of the same BS as every other big AAA release, but they will call it something different and it will go through Infinite. That means the game will constantly be begging you to connect, which...no? I put the PS5 in airplane mode when I play games that beg me. Those are my predictions, anyway.
To be clear, I don't want the game to fail and certainly don't care what certain people have to say about the game. If the stealth is good and the SP is offline, I'll pick it up. Ubisoft looks like they are purposefully sabotaging themselves recently. Like they want to sell, but need an excuse. I know not to ascribe to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence, but SERIOUSLY. Wtf are they doing over there???

Wow. Didn't even "require" a Pro...

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare Yeah, I often run into games I wasn't aware were "free" with plus or available on PS5 at all, and sometimes run into games I didn't know were out that I'm interested in. That's my fault sometimes, but others it's a discoverability issue. I'm not advocating for AI learning on the front page or anything, but they should know that I'm not getting CoD or Madden, no matter how much they push them.

I was thinking this when Dana Carvey was explaining the Pro in his powerpoint presentation. Fidelity and performance modes are too confusing, so here's a third option.

I play on my Portal, so I can't play these. Sweet.

Needs to be a switch cart for me, even w the slowdown. Happy it's turned out as well as we thought it would!

So, just as expected?

Still a massive downgrade from the original game.

@dark_knightmare2 I'm truly happy people enjoyed it, but "the best Sonic content in years" is a low bar, and always will be.

Makes sense. Sonic fans and Sega pretended that Colours and Generations were worth a rerelease, so why not?

The best thing about Marvel Rivals is that it's really fun to say in a Scooby Doo voice.

@Darude84 no, not seriously. We apologize, we were being silly.

@Darude84 this site uses "we" for personal opinions, bro, lol.

Candyman legitimately scared me as a kid. It was the scene where Helen wakes up covered in blood more than anything else. The idea of just waking up in a situation like that without knowing how you got there is terrifying. I loved the new one as well, and there are several shots that stuck with me. RIP.

@Jrs1 It's always online, which means it's the exact opposite of "perfect for Switch."

Yeah live service means no.

I went ahead and tried Wayfinder, also, and I'm in love so far. If anyone was on the fence because of the hellish development, maybe give it a shot. It's an ARPG from Airship Syndicate. $20, and worth it just to explore the first hub. It's gorgeous.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat is life right now. It really is reminding me of why I used to love Fallout. Just finding a stash of weapons and ammo can be such a lifesaver. Miss this kind of atmosphere.

I heard some good things about the gameplay, and noped out as soon as I saw that it was ftp.

A New Era of PS4 Ports Begins.

I remember back in the day, my mom encouraging me to get into coding because she knew how much I loved games. Even then, mid-90s, I was like "Nah, mom they treat those people like trash unless you made Doom or something."
