I'll most likely stick to the old Tomb Raider games. With what Crystal Dynamics here is trying to push it sounds like it is gonna be a far cry from Tomb Raider.
Really sad that Activision went from having a variety of developers working on completely different ideas for games to combining them into one for just Call of Duty.
@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.

Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking It Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
@Daft_Klebenflw That does make sense, better to delist them instead of getting more angry people because they bought something they can't play at all.
Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking It Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
@B_Lindz There are some people saying that it might be Steam that removed HD2 from those countries because of ehat Sony is doing.
Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking it Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
There's gonna be a massive uproar with this move
Re: Talking Point: Have Sony's Third-Party PS5 Deals Made Up for Its Lack of First-Party Games?
Yeah they've certainly been helping but still immensely disappointing that there is practically nothing from the first party studios :/
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stellar Blade?
@GeeForce Who cares? It's considered a great game from everyone else.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stellar Blade?
@DennisReynolds I mean is the game light on its story aspects, like similar to DMC where the story isn't really its main focus.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stellar Blade?
@DennisReynolds Is the story and characters really not in your way for you to be giving it an 8?
Re: Shadow of the Erdtree 'First and Last' Elden Ring DLC, Miyazaki Confirms
Fine by me, I was worried from before that the company was gonna try to turn this into some massive franchise and getting constant DLC.
Re: Feature: Final Fantasy 16 Expansion Pass Review: Is It Worth Buying?
@JB_Whiting Rising Tide expansion is clear as day and very pretty, doesnt remove it from the base game as that is story related.
Re: Feature: Final Fantasy 16 Expansion Pass Review: Is It Worth Buying?
With how much you get for each expansion it's certainly worth every penny of the expansion pass. Especially for Rising Tide.
Re: Horizon: Call of the Mountain PSVR2 Director Made Redundant by Dev Firesprite
@MrMagic Wow so even after all of that success of the show they still said no, what a shame.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Sales Remain Muted in the USA, Compared to Past Games
@Jeaz It's definitely a great time for sure, although I would've certainly liked it more if the open world aspect was better.

Wish I had the cash to buy this rn

Re: Bloober Team Says Silent Hill 2 Remake Its 'Most Important Test'
@Swizzle Yeah that wouldn't be bad, take the PC port od SH2 with modded enhancements and it would be good
Re: Bloober Team Says Silent Hill 2 Remake Its 'Most Important Test'
@Balie3000 I'm just keeping my expectations at 0 after their other projects. Especially the Medium and Blair Witch.

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.

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?

Re: Bungie to Undo Controversial 'Sunsetting' of Destiny 2 Weapons
@TheFakulty Or the Seasons for that matter that had important lore or scenes.
Re: Bungie to Undo Controversial 'Sunsetting' of Destiny 2 Weapons
Only coming back if the reception for final shape is good, until then it stays deleted.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Success Means Capcom Shareholders Get a Bump
@DennisReynolds Hopefully it continues on with Monster Hunter Wilds, I need that game!
Re: Stellar Blade Half-Second Input Delay Due to 'Game's Style of Animation', Says Director
@Retron More and more people are providing proof that it wasn't censored.
Re: Stellar Blade Half-Second Input Delay Due to 'Game's Style of Animation', Says Director
I still haven't felt the input delay if I'm being honest

Re: Stellar Blade Gets New Game+ Mode in Day One Update on PS5
@glennthefrog Indeed, we will just have to wait at this point to get better proof about it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Fallout 4's Next-Gen Version?
I just want a Fallout game with good RPG mechanics like New Vegas but it seems like Bethesda sucks at it
Re: Stellar Blade Gets New Game+ Mode in Day One Update on PS5
@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.
Re: Stellar Blade Gets New Game+ Mode in Day One Update on PS5
@PsBoxSwitchOwner https://ibb.co/M5MF8t5
Looks like he speaks the truth :/
Edit: It seems some people have provided proof that both outfits shown in the image are in the game.
Re: Stellar Blade Gets New Game+ Mode in Day One Update on PS5
@Silenos Apparently enemy placement is different, so that's something to look forward to

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch 1.10 Out Now on PS5, Adjusts Dragonsplague, Pawns, and More
I completed it just last night and while I had a lot of fun with its exploration and gameplay the story is just... ass
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Adds Community Game Help Feature, Here Are All the Patch Notes
@sanderson72 Am I reading this wrong or is this a troll post? You had to search how to close down a PS5 game?

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: EA Japan Exec Criticises Rating Board for Apparrent Stellar Blade Special Treatment

Re: EA Japan Exec Criticises Rating Board for Apparrent Stellar Blade Special Treatment
@McBurn The rating system is fine imo, but the censorship can go. Adults can make their own decision, we aren't children.
Re: ShiftUp Reveals 'Secrets' of Stellar Blade's Physical PS5 Packaging
Neat reverse cover, but rather generic, I'm hoping it's good though, I've been really anticipating this since its announcement
Re: Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio Releases For PS5, PS4 in October, New Gameplay Is Glorious
Probably not gonna get this just because I'm not exactly interested in the art style so far.
Re: Fear Not, PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Remains Uncensored in All Regions
@Darude84 Usually it would be too much skin like anime fan service games that got censored from Playstation, but it seems like they've changed?
