in the game, you'll meet important NPCs called Kingpins which have their own stories that you'll learn as you develop rapport with them by taking on contracts with them.
"There is an underlying story to the game with which we build the entire world lore, but that's not the main focus.
@DETfaninATL those backgrounds are literally the games you've installed. The theme changing based on the selected game/app is way better than the static themes PS3/4 had.
Can't do anything big because I need to be ready for Yakuza 7 on Tuesday. So gonna play Solitaire Conspiracy, then maybe something like Paw Patrol On A Roll.
@billyboyblue666 hey, if you buy physical for game sharing, digital is actually better for that. Assuming you and your kid have your own PS4's, set your account as primary on his and his account as primary on yours. Now both of you can play each other's games. The added benefit over physical is that you only need 1 digital copy of a game to both play it (online or offline) at the same time.
Also you can still download Transformers Devastation even though it's been delisted. Search for it on your download list on console.
@Lolcat to be fair, I should've said their next roguelike, I just figured there was a sliver of a better chance that people have heard of those games over knowing NIS has ever made any roguelikes.
@trev666 agreed. I've played a lot of walking sims because they always (undeservedly) get so much praise, but honestly this one doesn't stand out from any of the others.
@C9906753 that's what happens when the trophy list hasn't been uploaded to Sony's servers. Check sites like exophase or PSNP to see if the trophy list is on Sony's servers (PS5 games will always have a separate list).
Unfortunately I think PS5 can only show your online trophy list, so you'll always get that error until the dev uploads the trophy list. You could try turning off your network connection entirely to see if PS5 will show your local trophy list.
Folders are pretty much useless. If you could add games that you don't currently have downloaded then there might be a point because you could filter out the games you've already played. But in that case anyone who's had their console for more than a year would need a bigger limit than 100.
@awp69 they've all been on PS Now before as well, but a month before new PS+, Sega removed all their games from Now. I assumed they were going to start up their own subscription like EA and Ubisoft, but guess they were just doing it to bring the games back for marketing reasons.
@art_of_the_kill that would suck if PC gamers don't have the option of using the dualsense, but at least they get the option of playing the game. It's really the best and most comfortable controller I've ever used.
@spazuluwarrior yesterday Liam had an article saying Stray wouldn't be as good if you replaced the cat with something else, so I'm just trying to think critically and apply the same logic here.
I dunno, sounds like you could just replace the character with a kart, leaving the same gameplay mechanics, and it would play the same. So the game's not that great after all.
@Dudditz09 that's why I couldn't say cat, because that'd probably make the game more awesome! 😆 Imagine after Tess leaves the party, Ellie's just like, uh yeah I'll just follow this cat now.
The original Last of Us isn't even that great anyway, so not hard to make something better. I mean, just replace Joel with a sentient refrigerator and no way the game would've been as popular.
@LiamCroft considering monkeys have a pretty different traversal moveset than cats, I'd say the game would be sufficiently different with a monkey. Maybe something like a rabbit would be more similar (can rabbits actually jump high like cats, I only ever see them running on the ground).
Too bad they didn't have the foresight to make it an offline paid game. Then they could've continued selling it and making at least some money after canceling any future updates.
@Ogbert it's called multiversus because the main mode is 2v2. It's multiple versus each other.
Every argument you provide for smash being good can apply to this and every argument you provide for this being bad can apply to smash. People have been talking about who would win in a fight between movie/tv/book characters for centuries, that's not something unique to video game characters.

Re: Swashbuckling Pirate Sim Skull & Bones Is 'Not a Narrative-Driven Game'
@Mikey856 so there is a narrative, just not a good one that taken a backseat to the gameplay.
Re: Serene Cycling Game Season: A Letter to the Future Has Been Delayed
I'll play it if it's on PS+, don't see myself shelling out the cash to buy this specifically though.

Re: Swashbuckling Pirate Sim Skull & Bones Is 'Not a Narrative-Driven Game'
@Mikey856 they're not saying there isn't a narrative at all, they're saying there is one but it's not very good.
Re: Sony Sounds Shook by Xbox's Activision Buyout, Says Call of Duty Has No Rival
Ehh, I'd say just about every game is better than Call of Duty.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2022?
@WolfyTn Little Nightmares is currently free on PS+ Extra. And I guess you'll be happy to find out Yakuza isn't an anime game.
Re: Sony Discontinuing PS5 Accolades As No One Used Them
Good riddance. Sony will stop accusing people who play single player of being human filth for not receiving any accolades.

Re: Fans Wonder Whether NIS Just Teased Disgaea 7
@Lolcat and guided fate paradox doesn't look like ZHP. No reason they can't change the style for their next roguelike.
Re: Video: Did You Know All 20 of These PS5 Tips and Tricks?
I see the video thumbnail is showing off the dualsense's secret night light button for people gaming at night who're scared of the dark.
Re: NieR: Automata Community Left 'in Shambles' After Discovery of 'Impossible' Door
For anyone wondering where this went, it is not an undiscovered secret in the game. It's a mod that someone developed.
Re: Sony to Take Action as PS5, PS4 Owners Play Less Than Anticipated
Lower game prices, people will buy more and play more.

Re: Nearly 80% of All PS5, PS4 Games Are Bought Digitally
It makes sense, digital is almost always much cheaper than physical.
Re: You're All Wrong! GTA 6 Won't Have the Franchise's First Female Protagonist
Most people probably think GTA3 is the first game though.

Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for August 2022 Announced
@Ward_ting if you've got extra then you don't need to wait for Little Nightmares. It's already part of extra.

Re: GTA 6 Has a Female Protagonist, New Report Claims
Very surprising that so many people thought GTA6 wouldn't be live service.
Re: Warner Bros Clarify the Confusing MultiVersus Free Character Rotation Situation
@Khayl thanks for the clarification! I didn't know some people were able to play in may, just knew about the early access last week.
Re: Warner Bros Clarify the Confusing MultiVersus Free Character Rotation Situation
@This_Guy but the statement says all progress from July 19 to 25 is saved. So it was reset but is now restored?
Maybe because I haven't played the game, but I still just can't seem to understand what they mean.
Re: Warner Bros Clarify the Confusing MultiVersus Free Character Rotation Situation
So wait, was progress reset like the article says or it wasn't reset like WB's statement says?
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for August 2022 Announced
Crash 4, two weeks later FF7 Remake, two weeks later Yakuza 7. New PS+ is killing it right now.

Oh god, please don't give PS5 devkits to Breakthrough, Random Spin, or any other garbageware devs that don't already have one.
Re: Rumour: Star Wars: KOTOR Remake Hit with Huge Delay
@JJ2 it's because they're scrapping the whole thing and starting over from scratch. So it's going to be 3 years again.
Re: Returnal's Steam Page Getting Regular Updates, Reveal Seems Imminent
@art_of_the_kill that would suck if PC gamers don't have the option of using the dualsense, but at least they get the option of playing the game. It's really the best and most comfortable controller I've ever used.

Re: Soapbox: I'm Sorry, But Your Cute Cat Game Isn't That Great
@supergurr it's a mini-game in Final Fantasy X. It's basically underwater soccer.
Re: Soapbox: I'm Sorry, But Your Cute Cat Game Isn't That Great
@supergurr if you replaced the players in FIFA with fish, you'd get blitzball. So actually that would be a better game.

I'll say Frogun will launch onto PS+ Essential.

@RBMango same, I'm not gonna buy the game either.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stray?
Not being able to customize the cat to look like mine is the only thing keeping this from being a 10.

Hmm. I didn't see my most used accessibility option which is hold button instead of destroy controller for QTE's. I'm sure they've got it though.
Re: Stray Is a Meowsive Hit Judging By Day One Concurrent Numbers
Going by PSNP's numbers, Stray has more players than both Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring had 3 days after launch.
