Doomed for the beginning really, if your accessory cost more than the already very expensive thing to play it on, nobody is gonna bother apart from the ultra-die hards.
This looks so janky! even by ubi-standards, think im gonna hold off on buying this at launch, but pleased to see they have continued the long AC tradition of featuring children with terrifying adult faces.
Its been an absolutely brilliant expansion so far, they really knocked it out of the park, been playing since D1 days, and seeing the story end got me choked up a few times.
The way the campaign continued into the insane raid and then continued into a final 12 player mission once the raid was beat for the true end was masterful.
But none of this was Bungies fault? It was on Sony. The exact same thing happened to the Elden Ring DLC the week before. Its easy to throw crap Bungies way, but this wasn't on them.
Anyone saying this is an L for Sony are out of their damn mind! 170+ plus countries can now keep playing a game that was sold to them, it isnt their fault PSN isnt included in their country, Sony should never had sold the game in those countries in the first place knowing they wanted to introduce the psn requirement
And thats how you kill a popular game, well done Sony slow clap This is actually insane on Sony's side tbh this feels like one of the those permanently damaging your reputation type of things, and honestly they deserve it.
This sounds like they are improving the Mirage-style Linear World, which i'm absolutely all for, Valhalla the never ending put me off overly bloated mostly empty open worlds for life.
I dont really understand this... I have zero interest in this game but if I want to see something like Forza or Starfield on a PS5 then this game needs to sell well? Make it make sense!
Its impossible to judge the success of other types of games based on how well some semi live-service game sells, whats the metric, sell as many copies as it did on XBOX? where its also available on gamepass.
Well its a British poll and honestly whats a more iconic British game/character? So not really suprising! Now if it was a poll of Americans, im sure Mario would be up there at No1.
The resource grind is no way near how it was, you can literally ammned your game to play however you want.. ie resources, abundant! or switch your save to creative and never ever worry about having to pay for anything or run out of resources ever again.
They deserve the world to be honest, its a small team and they have slogged their guts out to deliver high quality updates and all for free, they have more than earned the right of "being redeemed"
No Mans Sky is a game I play weekly, its just a lovely vibe and to do whatever you want, and with no microtransaction stores or overpriced DLCs or login bonuses its just a game that respects your time however you want to play it.
Super refreshing and super chill, and its always the game I turn to for a bit of escapism if im having a hard time of it in the real world.
Call me old fashioned. I'd rather just have a well optimized game, couldn't give a single plop about ray tracing on a puddle or window that you see for less than half a second.
An absolute waste of time, money and resources. I was a day one PS4 Pro buyer as by that point my OG PS4 was CREAKING along and games were pushing its boundaries, not a single one of the few true PS5 only 1st party games released have even tickled the PS5s capabilites.
Theres no way games should be struggling to achieve 30 or 60fps on a PS5 if the games were actually optimized properly.
Bought this a couple months ago, and was very cynical but curious about it, only finished it last week and it ended up being one of my fav ever games! I just wished there was a NG+
Finally took the plunge on Friday as I was a bit sceptical of the co-op side of things, but been having a tonne of fun with it! But theres a couple of big issues need sorting asap,
Ive not been able to add any of my friends on PC via friend request, and having to resort to picking a planet, a finding a mission we all have at the same time and try to join, so not ideal at all for a co-op game, hopefully this gets sorted asap.
Im actually not really enjoying it as much as I thought I would which makes me sad, im about 30ish hours in and Its starting to feel like such a chore. When its good its great! But theres just too much bloat for me atm.
Of course the 4chan basement dwellers are over the moon at the news, but for most people its a bit of a shame (but understandable) to hear, the guy wasn't afraid to make bold choices, push stories / games / characters forward in a way nobody would expect, and quite often as a massive FU to the loud minority and will leave a legacy that is, nobody will ever forget the games and stories he made.
It really doesn't get any better than that for anyone in the games / entertainment industry.
Nothing for me, but a good selection of games! Witch Queen is actually a very good D2 expansion, so if your a lapsed Destiny player something to at least check out!
From the outside it seems like they took the money and ran.
It absolutely doesnt feel like a success nor does it feel like they have any desire to support it properly with 1st Party stuff, a bit like the PS5 atm.
Its a bit of a weird gen all round in lots of ways.

Re: Big New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Has an Uphill Battle Ahead of It
I am SO so tired of the Marvel-esque witty quips stuff. Its proper brain dead nonsense, its an immediate deep sigh and a turn off.

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Having an OLED / VRR TV, 60 fps over 30 very much makes a difference! Graphics dont make a difference if a game feels like crap to play
