@sanderson72 You can literally do that exact same procedure but with an additional button press. Hold down PS button, press options, close game. There are things to criticize the PS5 UI about but this isn't one of them. Especially when you think it's somehow "Convoluted."
It's rather suspicious that the director said that this was always supposed to be the final design despite it being in the review copy of the game. If it really was supposed to be the final design why was it never done before it got released?
@DennisReynolds It is rather suspicious, if this redesign was the design the developer was always wanting for this outfit why is it in a day one patch instead of being in the released version? Why not just make it a variant instead of removing it? It just seems like it's too much for it be a coincidence.
@sanderson72 Okay so let me get this straight, you saw the button prompt to press "Option" on the game in the Switcher menu and your thought was never, "Oh, maybe I should press the options button this time on the PS Dashboard in the game app"? I'm struggling to understand if this is still a troll post. If you think holding the PS button to go to the to dashboard to then press the options button to close the app or even using the switcher menu to close the app is "Convoluted" then I am very concerned for you.
@Rich33 Only thing I would like is themes and the ability to use the triggers in order to get to one end from another. I don't know why that was not added back in from the PS4. Other than that I have very little issue with the PS5 home screen and consider it far better compared to Xbox's.
@DennisReynolds Well looking more into it it seems that it is BS because there are reviewers such as Fightin Cowboy even providing proof that the sexier version is still in the game.
@sanderson72 I don't understand how you struggled that badly other than that you have never used a console before. You're really telling me, you never once thought of pressing the "options" button? The button that takes you to a pause menu in game so you can quit your game?
@get2sammyb I know that the english dub was criticized but how were the characters? Were they memorable? Likeable? Interesting? I would assume no since you didn't mention them at all but would be nice to know.
@NEStalgia There is more to what he says in the review but yeah cliche story and bland sidequests are pretty big ones. I would imagine that it wasn't enough to ruin Sammy's enjoyment of the game despite it though since there was more to it that we aren't aware of.
@B0udoir You sure are searching something to be negative for despite it getting very positive reviews. I think you should search up what an 8/10 means.
@Terra_Custodes I suppose I worded that wrong a bit, but when I see talk of FF it's usually the characters over the story. I still think story is important though(Especially when 16's is one of my favorite stories in gaming). 16's gameplay is something I would take over the other FF games though, turn based is just not my cup of tea unless it's something like Persona.
@Northern_munkey Yeah, if a kid just straight up goes on a murdering spree after playing GTA or CoD, the kid had major issues beforehand and the parents are to blame at that point I think.
@DennisReynolds No I mean that the U.S. version getting censored for Playstation was an accident. Especially now due to the uncensored TLOU2 sex scene.
@GMaster7 Honestly kinda glad I don't have to buy Dawntrail right now just because I'm still way behind from reaching the expansion lol I just reached Stormblood
@PinderSchloss Come on man you're not even trying to make a good argument here. Lol "This feels like punishment for not waiting to buy the complete edition for the same price"
Once again personal problem, no one else's fault but yours because you're impatient for... whatever reason despite knowing that devs have done complete editions for how long? More than a decade that's for sure.
"But go ahead and get screwed over by greedy companies if that's your thing"
Sounds like that's already your thing judging by this particular statement, "but apparently I had to pay 95€ for another 10 hours of ‘follow the marker and tap square’"
When exactly were you ever told you "had" buy the DLC? Neither of the DLCs affect the story, ending, nor do they even affect any of the gameplay.
@PinderSchloss "I never want to go back but always get fomo. It's like being punished for paying and playing day one"
Probably one of the goofiest complaints I've heard that can basically be summarized as personal issues. Your complaint would probably be more sound if the game was incomplete.
@mrbone The only time I ever enjoyed turn based was during Persona 5 and I played the absolute crap out of that and bought P5R with it. I know not a lot of people would like it but if the next FF is like this will buy it unless the story is disappointing because that's probably the third most important aspect of FF game. Second goes to characters and first goes to gameplay.
I still haven't encountered this so that's unfortunate that it is being nerfed. :/
Although if there is one good change that is the frequency reduction on pawns asking to be hired, that crap was annoying when exploring.
@tselliot Don't get me wrong Dragon's Dogma 2 is fun and reminds me of Death Stranding which I very much enjoyed where you are journeying across the map and you can't use fast travel whenever you like. But I can't deny that the frame rate needs to be improved still which will prove pretty difficult for Capcom I think.

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship
@Steel76 the gore part isn't true from what I've heard, it just has to do with being in performance mode instead of being in balanced or quality mode.

Re: Stellar Blade (PS5) - A Stellar PS5 Debut Destined to Become a Fan Favourite
@NEStalgia Fun gameplay in a game with good level design, music, and seemingly fun boss battles can usually hold up a game with a cliche story.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.31 Out Now on PS5, Brings Big Damage Buffs for Clive, Better Side Quests, and Much More
@BugCatcherGarl There are some dips in frame rate in graphics mode but it is rare(Unlike Dragon's Dogma 2).
