@SilenceCZ Ah, nice! Yeah, Microsoft really upped their game since Xbox 360. Their procedure used to be somewhat of a hassle with the OG Xbox, but they got their act together and now have the fastest repair / replacement service of the Big Three here in Belgium as well.
@SilenceCZ I hear you on the day one nonsense. I've bought my systems on launch day since the SNES days, and the only one failing on me ever was a PS3 after 7 years...
In my twenties I've worked at a major games retail chain here in Belgium quite a few years during the PS2 and PS3 era, and we never noticed such phenomenon. Also, in my experience Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft always were very helpful and professional about replacing or repairing hardware. These lawsuits are just ridiculous and unnecessary.
Just picked up Sackboy: A Big Adventure for PS5, together with Super Mario 3D World on Switch. I'll be playing both with the wife and kid. Couch multiplayer is so much fun!
I'm also catching up on some PS4 gems I missed. God of War is next.
Pre-ordered it at my local games store (I'm a physical guy ) when it was first announced. June can't come soon enough. Now we need a Gran Turismo release date. When, Sony? When!? Oh, the agony!
No issues at all. Absolutely wonderful peace of kit!
30 years of gaming across many platforms and the only controllers that needed replacing regularly were those of the N64. Those sticks were terrible (or we played way to much GoldenEye 007). Launch Switch Joy-Con sticks are still ok as well.
@ShogunRok Amen to that. A clear upgrade overall. Old character / facial models will always look a little funny or out of place on modern hardware. I like what I'm seeing, and can't wait to play these again!
@Playstation I actually read most of that, but it's not going to change my stance. I think creators of any art form, be it film, music, drawings, theater, books, photography, games or whatever can create their universe the way they want it to be, as long as their goal isn't to offend anyone on purpose.
It's up to us to agree or disagree, play or ignore, and having and voicing an opinion is perfectly fine.
Oh, dear. Why make it even more difficult for these people? This won't help the situation at all. These hackers must feel like real heroes.
@Playstation Having completed every job, gig and story branch in the game, I have no idea what "transfobic content" you are talking about. It's quite the opposite, really.
Very generic design and not much excitement during matches at all. Could have been so much more, really. Like some others here, it made me want to play Rocket League again.
Played some Destruction All-Stars yesterday, but I really can't see myself going back anymore. I think it's not a good game at all, honestly.
I've been diving into the PS+ Collection on PS5 recently, and discovered the marvel that Ratchet and Clank really is, so I'll be switching between that and God of War, another great title I missed out on last generation.
Can't wait! I missed out on the first one when it was originally released, but played ME2 and 3 to death. I hope they put in some extra effort on the character models. Miranda's face still gives me nightmares to this very day .
That, and I still think the Normandy SR-2 is the coolest starhip in a video game ever.
Played through every questline and all endings in Cyberpunk. The platinum trophy is within my grasp, so I'll be going for that before FINALLY starting with TLOU2, which has been sitting on my shelf untouched for far too long now.
Played 3 long sessions since patch 1.10 (PS5) and not a single crash. They must have sorted some of the issues out; it used to crash on me in the more dense parts of Night City quite often.
Glad to see them at least trying to communicate and fix the game. What's done is done, but I'm confident they will sort things out. Like some already said: beneath the mess lies a gem of a game. Got Cyberpunk for Christmas, and I've barely played anything else since.
I'm strangely excited for Gran Turismo. Haven't played a game in the series since PS2. Horizon was the obvious pick. Also, can't wait for the PS5 update for Cyberpunk.
@Max2574 Beats me. It asked for the data disc and went through the whole install sequence again. Googled it, and it seems to happen to a minority of players across PS and PC. No harm done, but man; this game's programming is one big mess.
Nice list. The Last of Us: Part II has been sitting on my shelf far too long now. Bought it together with Persona 5 Royal, which I just couldn't put down until the platinum trophy popped, and then PS5 happened...
I also love Cyberpunk to death, but the tricks it pulls on us poor players are just astonishing. Last night it auto-uninstalled for no reason at all (even not a crash). Luckily I could just re-install and my save files are ok. Maybe CDPR hacked into our brains and is messing with our perception of reality through this peculiar peace of software.
My lovely wife got me Cyberpunk 2077 for Christmas. Eight hours in and I absolutely love this game (playing on PS5)! Crashed on me twice already, though. I really hope CDPR gets this sorted out soon.
I'm also helping my daughter through the more challenging parts of Astro's Playroom.
No, I didn't. As much as I disapprove of the way CDPR has (not) handled the situation, I don't see why you'd request a refund for a game you enjoy and we all know will get fixed in the end, other than sending a strong message to the industry as a whole. I remember having to cope with similar issues with The Witcher 3, Skyrim and Fallout 3, amongst others.
That being said, I'd much prefer having to wait for a game until it's ready. As a long time Nintendo fan, I'm quite used to this. Imagine the Zelda BOTW sequel being released in an unfinished state. People would just eat Shuntaro Furukawa alive...
New game + Spider-Man Miles Morales to get another shiny platinum trophy and some NBA2K21 and MK11 Ultimate on the PS5 with the misses. Finally, after 15 years, I got my lovely wife to play video games . It's the graphic fidelity of the new generation of consoles that pulled her over. Hurrah!
I'll be diving into both Spider-Man games on my shiny new PS5. Got Cyberpunk as well, but I'll wait for CDPR to finish the game before I start playing... I still have to start Demon's Souls as well, so there's no rush.
@KidBoruto I consider myself a JRPG fan, and this was my first Persona game as well. Nothing to be ashamed of; there's so many great games out there and you can't play them all.
I've really fallen in love with the great cast of characters. Take your time and listen to / read all conversations. The developers put a lot of love into this gem. I hear / read people rushing through the game, which isn't how this was meant to be played. It's a long game, but worth every minute of your time. Enjoy!
Just finished Persona 5 Royal (what a ride!), and my PS5 has finally arrived. I'll start with some Astro and NBA 2K before I dive into Demon's Souls. I'm so excited!
I don't have my PS5 yet (confirmed for next week, though!), but managed to get hold of Demon's Souls, Miles Morales and NBA 2K21. I can confirm NBA 2K smells best. Must be that Mamba sweat... Can't wait to actually PLAY these games!

@Jimmy_VNC82 Same here! The absence of the NBA app is the one thing that doesn't make this machine perfect .

Wow. 9/10. I got really lucky on 4 of the 5 answers I had to guess.

Oh, dear. I just spent 125 hours of my life on Royal, and seeing this trailer makes me want to do it all over again.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Hitman 3 Drops Out of the Top 10, Call of Duty on the Rise
Crazy to see evergreens like Mario Kart 8 and GTA V in the top 10 every week, even many years after their release.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for February 2021?
Great move by Sony to include Destruction All Stars. I don't think it would have sold that well otherwise. Looks like a fun title.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 361

Re: PS Plus February 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Oh, nice! I was just going to buy Control. Great month indeed!
Re: Poll: Do You Have a PS5?
Got one early December, and I absolutely love it! Small HDD is a bit of an annoyance, though.
Re: Guess What? Cyberpunk 2077 Still Has Serious Crashing Issues on PS5, PS4 After Patch 1.10

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 360
Still having a lot of fun in Night City, despite the technical quirks. I'll be checking out the Resident Evil demo as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 359
Cleaning up the map in Cyberpunk before I move on to the grand finale. Just met 'Skippy' the handgun. He's my new best friend .

Can't. Stop. Playing. Cyberpunk. Argh!
Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Game of 2021?

Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 RPG of 2020
Having to choose between Persona 5R, Cyberpunk 2077, FF7R, Demon's Souls and Dragon Quest is pure torture. These are great times for RPG fans!
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5, PS4 Games of 2020
So many hours of pure joy . Glad to see Persona and Cyberpunk make the list.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 357
Can't put Cyberpunk down. Brilliant game! It even mysteriously stopped crashing.
Re: Game of the Year: Robert's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2020

New game + Spider-Man Miles Morales to get another shiny platinum trophy and some NBA2K21 and MK11 Ultimate on the PS5 with the misses. Finally, after 15 years, I got my lovely wife to play video games . It's the graphic fidelity of the new generation of consoles that pulled her over. Hurrah!

@Ichiban Thanks! Played Astro for a bit. Really impressed with the silky smoothness of it all, and the DualSense truely is a technological wonder!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 353
Just finished Persona 5 Royal (what a ride!), and my PS5 has finally arrived. I'll start with some Astro and NBA 2K before I dive into Demon's Souls. I'm so excited!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 352
Some more Persona 5 Royal for me. Hope to get the platinum before my PS5 arrives next week. What a great game!
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite PS5 Launch Game?
I don't have my PS5 yet (confirmed for next week, though!), but managed to get hold of Demon's Souls, Miles Morales and NBA 2K21. I can confirm NBA 2K smells best. Must be that Mamba sweat... Can't wait to actually PLAY these games!
