If they want to see what managed democracy feels like, maybe they should get PCs

@somnambulance makes perfect sense when you put it like that. I think that's what drew a lot of people I play with (including myself) to PS2 & PS3

Well it's almost 4 years old. Most generations are 8 years. First 4 years = early half of life cycle. Last 4 years = latter half.

Cross gen period for PS5 was too long in everyone's opinion. This won't stop in PS5 to PS6 launch. PS5 will get many cross gen games. As consoles get more powerful and are based on similar GPU architecture, with the majority difference between gens being clock speeds and number of CPU cores and CUs, the compatibility between each generation will increase and we get situations where games can run on both gens with the only difference being lower quality settings. Console gaming is going to be an expensive cage in the future, as they become more and more similar to PCs.

@somnambulance Flower is great but saying that over GOW should warrant some intense interrogation

Oh and the MTX are so good. Put in 3 hours yesterday, reached my personal target and I've been able to buy the whole store. Only hope is they don't try to diminish your purchasing power with future updates

@Jaz007 git gud. Alone is mostly fine, just set up turrets, use orbitals and take the enemies in waves.

Where it doesn't work is in hard difficulty and upwards. You will just constantly get swarmed.

This is an absolute must have. I am so happy with the game so far.

And don't worry if you have no one to play with, my quick play matchmaking experience (when it's working) has been really positive. Worked well on launch then days after it's been a bit of a chore, which is very different to comments I'm seeing here. Yesterday alone was just too many disconnects, but found a good workaround though.

The tagline being "it's Call of Duty with magic" did not help its case at all, plus full price was a mistake. Too ambitious too quick

@AdamNovice it's R1 to ping points of interest. Works same as Apex

@LazyLombax it wants to save you from this soapy mess

@BoomShakAllaker yeah there's pretty much no issues I found, played for few hours from 6pm, had slow matchmaking, turned crossplay off and it was fine. Good to see it patched already

October 2024?

This is what happens when you make a game not too big of a scope, you end up making everything tight, pleasing the community, work really well and not have to be £70.

I'm sure that if Returnal was similarly priced at £35 - £50, it'd have been more of a hit.

Don't start being a Disney pump, Fortnite

@Ramavetos the story is cool tbh, I like it a lot but that's where it ends for me sadly

This game gonna be a HIT

@Voltan literally, it's baffling to see them double down and waste time on something so hated

@Icey664 go to the game base!

@Czar_Khastik I love it

I'm interpreting this as potentially, if we start doing really well and killing the bugs easily, they'll shift the narrative and start a storyline where some stronger species come in. If so, that sounds amazing

@Nei this sounds amazing, full of variety and fun, day 1

@Czar_Khastik all this time I thought you were Russian, I have only just now finally sounded your name out 👌

Put it in VR and I'd day 1

Embracer, Microsoft, Sony to a lesser degree. I think it's clear that consolidation is just mainly greed and does not benefit developers at all in terms of their job security

@Anguspuss well they still collect $70 even if people finish it after an hour

That subtitle 👌

@Ravix knowing WB they'd market the outage as a feature and charge the early access players £50 a day to play until the release.

They are constantly attempting to fan the flames out before they even appear, that is a red flag.

I have issues with the gameplay loop but the gameplay (movement, traversal, combat) looks fun, story is fun, live service elements aren't THAT intrusive. This game is likely to be a hit.

I just would've loved for this to be a SP game with a co-op online add on, like GTA. Because that gameplay loop of shoot purple thing and run across empty map just to do it again, with boss fights sprinkled in-between has no business being in a Rocksteady game or with those really good looking cinematics and story

@UltimateOtaku91 don't forget Dreams was early access too

@Konks yeah this is making a lot of sense but just wish they were more progressive with it. Give us another game like Black Flag but new story at least. I know many others will love this but just feels like a waste of development time for me

Okay so now what was the point of Skull & Bones?? Like you've just spent a decade making a game just to end up remaking the starting point.

Plus why don't they go and make a smaller scale AC game that is easy cash money. We could be Edward Kenway in his latter years or any other Assassin that everyone wants to see, like they did in Mirage. All this stuff could be so more productive but no lets go remake a game that came out on PS3 & PS4 for the PS5. Ubisoft, Bethesda, Nintendo & Rockstar are ruining forward progression

Game development and most things related to tech are so stupidly over saturated. Anyone trying to enter needs to either be extremely skilled, start off an indie studio or just go into freelance work. Too many people have access to computers (not a bad thing)

And everyone said they joined DC studios 🙄

I'm guessing GTA 6 Online will have a built-in role play server type function? That would be really cool. Hoping they bring back cops & robbers

@DragoonZied you're underestimating how much I really wanna shoot some barrels 😭

@DragoonZied where it at

Game looks great! Can't wait to play this with friends

@Dom_31 as in, it supports us players by getting enemies to group up, allowing our party members to kill them easily

The only one I'd want to play is the one with rolling barrels where the number decreases when you shoot it

I still don't understand how HZD has as many sales as this, if not more and it was a new IP. Yes I know it's been out much much longer

@TrannosaurusBex 'clickbait-ism'

Absolute shambles in this comments section

@KundaliniRising333 you have a lot of sense !

Definitely animated. I've always disliked the look for Steve. He's got a weird face

Ironically, the 2 cancelled Live Service games (that we know of) could've been the most successful. I know many here would have played Factions 2 and the the Spider-Verse one from Insomniac would've been incredible, but here's to more Single Player games that in about 5-10 years time, these same people will complain about getting stale

@sanderson72 should come in handy if I decide to use my PS4 again, thank you!

@Fyz306903 true, or they quietly push it into the start of the following year

@sanderson72 ah so you put the PS5's fans into the PS4, I read your initial comment wrong. That's really interesting, guess Sony cheaped out on the fans for last gen

@MrMagic the One X is likely running it at lower settings (textures, foliage, etc) but at a 4k resolution. The Series S is running it at similar settings but lower resolution as Series X. That's how many cross-gen releases have been. Making the Series S a very pointless console as the One X already serves that lower end purpose

@sanderson72 I've still never heard my PS5 fan, meanwhile my PS4 fan is on the minute I start any game
