Interesting insight, my experience was unpleasant at the starting regions and then came as natural soon as the lame inside jokes wears out.

And don't forget, "What is it, what is it? **gasp** Is it another Paimon? what a Catch!"

Oh, Ray Chase as 4.2's host? 👌👍

@Bunchesopuppies
I'm genuinely curious, switching audio resources just because of Paimon-intolerance?

Be missing out on all the english talent there buddy 🤷

🤔 TTS as a placeholder would probably not be ideal but it's something worth testing

Can't believe Ajaw was also affected but not emergency food 😏

Can't wait to bathe in ad panels at a random Cyberpunk alley and blinding myself in HDR mega-nits. ✨🤩

Swore Rainy irl pic looked so familiar and then went to find out she's from the Sanctuary Netflix series that I watched. An ah moment.

The photo mode looks to me just model animations on loop in limited functionality.
I hope all the cast have very unique ones that can be used everywhere in the world with context sensitive animations 🤞✨

@TheElectroFunky
It's not entirely your ages' fault, moreso by the internet exposure that was driven from your lifetime searches and whatnot.
Complex topic, basically you don't see much things from the other side of the sphere and vice versa.

I'm a millennial myself then came to learn of the existence of ACG culture, while many others grew alongside it.

Just like in Netflix, we get Korean action thrillers to huge variety of ACG contents that was never offered in the west, or to some limited capacity.

Anyway, you get the gist.

Like @get2sammyb had said before, always don't have to spend a penny on these offerings let alone being a wallet whale. Usually those who do so are doing for content creation career. Most of the time them content creators are entertaining on their own, it just creates community surrounding these games as a whole.

Anyways, sometimes I do feel like I'm out of place here because of the age differences, culture, and where these readers come from.

Also sometimes, when readers get political or very subjective just couldn't wrap my head around it.

More importantly is to have fun and spread happiness rather than doom and gloom all the time ready at every opportunity ✌️

@PsBoxSwitchOwner
Oh thanks for explaining that, I've only log in if I'm likely to leave a comment
I figure if I'm not logged in, could still see the whole shebang though, yes?
Can't say that feature is useful for myself particularly 😄

Overall it was good, everything in there is fresh for me until I step into current-gen.
I'm excited and terrified at the same time for the coming year.

Have mercy on those exclusives lurking in the shadows 🙏

Here low-key wishing for Mirror's Edge Raymastered or the next entry🤞

The other day I was logging in to Quidditch which blatantly required creation of WB account.
Batted an eye is all I did since the process is seamless and didn't require any input from me.

Anyhoo, Resident Evil and many others did about the same process and you could always toggle them in settings but that doesn't mean corps don't collect any metadata.

I'd be more wary of giving data to gacha companies which potentially could be very questionable than others.
Who's to say this partnered sites doesn't mine our data for all the data hungry corps?
Food for thought.

Pushsquare members: High key hoping for more last-gens remasters

Also me: Low key hoping for more current-gen remasters ✨with PSSR✨

😅

@themightyant 🤝
Guilty of this because as like you, for me didn't have much time on PushSquare 😅

Combined with their reddits counterparts and whatnot, holy time sink 😱

Personally, I'm scared to imagine what's gonna happen after Nikki comes out~

Here's hoping we can burn bridges with gacha games one day~ 🤜🤛

@AverageGamer
Not an average comment not gonna lie~

No doubt people who cared bought their first PS5 🌱 for that reasons [#15] from their last console, just as what the PS5 Pro offers~
What an unspoken predicament if I do say so myself 🤫👌

Sure took EA a good while than Hogwarts Legacy.

Is the narrative of peeps playing a remastered version of these renditions without knowing it Day One still on-going? 🤭
Personally, didn't get on these games yet not until I get a 699 in my hands 🌱🌱

All of the intern-kuns working on remasters while boomer veterans working on live services. Sounds about right 👍

I must be out of loop to miss this, will watch it later after the dailies. Thanks @get2sammyb

@themightyant
Does feel that way here, Hollow is getting pretty daunting to deal with after a while. Crammed deadlines are usually the culprits for Hoyo games. What others do you play by the way?

PS5 community: Can't wait to see extra blades of grass 🌱

PS5 Pro community: Can't wait to see more strands of hair👌

Pushsquarians: Can't touch them grasses and losing hair over every kerfuffle 🤨

In regards to all-digital doom-posting, I urge you to come back after next-generation launches.

I'd more than happy to see my disc drive to be reusable for next-gen. . . unless ... you're not?

Ray tracing is expensive, but PS5 Pro is still cheaper at 699. 👌

ㅤ
PS4 mains, it's time.

That's right, no one knows we exist. Let's keep it that way. Carry on ..🍿

@get2sammyb

Sammy, PSN is a live service that everybody use.
No point going any further my chad 🤫

Live service is amazing in the right hands 🤝

Not sure what's with Predecessor rebranded from Paragon and its changes that differentiated them apart, after from what I remembered was a long hiatus..

For this case, don't know how the project can be salvaged at this particular time, given even going free model together with characters recast going forward..

At least the developers will be given a second chance moving forward is my take on all this, whatever they will be working on next 🤞

@naruball

How could you forget Infinity Nikki, I'm fairly disappointed.

Live service for people like you and me is known for content delivery, instead of some stereotypical genre.

My days with live service multiplayer ended with Overwatch and started with that pepega live service SP, Jenshin Impact.

Needless to say, trends are very volatile when the games made today, might probably age like milk, 8 years later.

But hey, one thing that always age like fine wine is the schadenfreude pick-up lines👌
ㅤ

General population at large: Unprecedented! 👀

Gacha gamers: First time? 🤓

Also me: This Changes Everything!

Actually all I could see is a ripped man with very nice shoes is low-key flexing on his love for Lego sets 💪🤳

Real question, would Quidditch sell better than Conc...

🙏Just jesting 😅, I'm down to taste testing everything except the sim

ㅤ
Things I'm okay with:
1. If the digital games price revamp and more frequent addition/subtraction to Plus benefits
2. Option to upgrade 🎮
3. Forward compatibility disc drive (cross-gen)
4. Identical pricing as launch slim models
5. Bring back PS Plus Collection for newcomers + more for everyone
6. More quality live service games
7. 🤭

Things to look out :
1. Better and frequent showcases without cramming hype (🙅 overwhelm & underwhelm)
2. Let us choose our own PS Plus Essential titles (e.g. 3/5 selector)
3. Try not to gate-keep DLCs especially / next-gen games from current-gen through marketing contracts under pretense of technological divide if can be helped
4. Don't be afraid to try new things/genres with expendable income, as a company
ㅤ

These would be my genuine feedback.
Now let me go back and read some of the comments 🍿🍿
ㅤ

@Enuo selector runs for another 40 days, take all the time you need

As for me, it's C3 Flame Mane and C0 Forrest Ranger. Got my yearly Zombie quota out of the way from Mualani banner 💩🌊

End of Service? out of the blue didn't see this one coming NGL
Had always remembered this first and foremost an MMO than a Jenshin contender.
Project Mugen on the other hand ...

In other news, Nikki has gained yet another million of grown men since PushSquare's article, easy does it 💪👍🤭

Seems like era of AAAA has just really begun 👏

Not gonna lie. Kind of impresses me knowing that a lot of those same people are playing Love and Deepspace.

🤭

That Furina music in the BG I just can't 😂

I don't think an article like this will go well with dwellers on the site here because they are not real fans ahem ahem - I mean 4 years of lost context within the sphere.
Evolution taken place when people gave positive feedback over the course of the game they love turned into not-so-positive feedback.
They produced multiple games and at the same time mails in-game surveys (more than every game in the industry, with total clarity of the issues of the game events listed upfront somehow) ... goes ahead and repeat/design those pitfalls.

Every casual gamer has their limits.
QOL on that/their other game doesn't even compare, yes?
I would only say, before all these debacle ended, the team done suspicious things in tldr.

The most important thing is . . . It's not "Dev Listened".
It's "Devs Learned". That's all to it 👋
ㅤ

The ray tracing in that trailer is so good that I don't know what I'm looking at 😂

Feels like yesterday (2018) when I bought my Pro just for MHW.

Impeccable timing once again, Capcom ✨

Came here & stop by because Indiana Tunes was playing in my head as I saw this article 🎶

Best live service impression?
MH Wilds.

imo, people who isn't acquainted w/ ZZZ will be just as confused of that teaser at the end ngl.

Jenshin news on Xbox bewildered me.

Overall, only Infinity Nikki and Wilds are already right up my alley.

yes.

Also ngl, news to me this isn't current gen exclusive since I've been eyeing this one since first debut.

I've yet to experience current gen let alone worry about storage issues 👉👈 can't help but wonder if GTA6 would top the storage charts once again 🤔

Just so we're clear, both they're live service games.

If we're talking about ''that'', everyone oh so worried about how much revenue cod are losing out/sustainability instead of their real long term strategy of revenue making before making bank on another sequel after the milk runs out . . . just mind boggles me.
Comparing a chocolate factory versus a diamond artisan.
Both equally successful in their own way.

MS bought Bethesda & the likes and let's be honest, they had plans like these coming after contractual obligations fulfilled. They bought the company and it's resources, so it's fair game for their money.

TL;DR: too much speculating in some comments from T2's one neutral remark.

At the end of the day,
only they have their own financial revenue, we can only speculate.

On a side note, I'm looking forward to Tomb Raider news without unhinged expectations.

Proud to be that 25 %.

People always want the Neuvillette of all things and bench every obsolete unit "by their standards".

When significant amount still using decade old Oppa Xiangling until Natlan comes out, either or the contents inevitably power creep the units.

I will say, .. not every investment always brings value.
Whether that value comes late on, you can always look back and say, '"hey why would I need a PS6 this soon when I could still run medium Ray Tracing on The Witcher 4?"

Ahem anyways, yes price reduction will always definitely happen if the competitors wills it.

Originally a PVE expansion to Part II would do fan service very well, but I guess they tried too hard to find success in capitalizing beyond single player baseline audience.

They still could, just with a better unique new IP that could showcase their live service/vision novelty.

Ooff.. I honestly miss Gravity Rush 2's live service aspect.
Enjoyed those fun little treasure huntings.
ㅤ

All I see is Star Rail with realistic graphics and big bad looking bosses

Rip to those cursed to make this game happen

Imagine if the expedition 33 broke the turn-based at the end to break the fourth wall

@get2sammyb
Nice touch with that PTSD on He Who Must Not be Named haha

Or should I say also ... she who must not be named . . .

I'm hopeless hreheeh :'P

It'll release next year, trust me bro.
ㅤ
They could've found an in with the live service way imo, Star Citizen and NMS, even Genshin could..

If they had so much content like they said..

LSA left most people the impression of combat foremost, not the story. Story can always be continued in a live service way, not another 5 years mind you!

When done right, with their scale of ambition I don't think it cannot be done.
Most games market them in Part 1 into Part 2 to make cash, doesn't always mean it's always going to be one-and-done or waiting for another full blown sequel.

They are indie, they can be flexible. It's not corpa.
ㅤ
ㅤ
That being said, PS5 Pro could not be a better time for it to ride along with.

hhmm, what makes a souls a souls experience?

Come to think of it, I've always treated my gacha games as a ''souls experience'' (if you will), and how is that even souls you might ask..?
If I must explain, well, resources. They come and go if you're not prudent. Skill whereas can manifest in different forms, not just reaction, but understanding of the landscape.
Now if someone comes along with the obligatory ''g word", then clearly didn't read between the lines on how some of us play our games.

Food for thought!

Just adding (very, very late) this here, Elden etc is considered a live service at least to me. Traditionally, games as a service is heavily reliant on 'version updates', and nowadays, even offline games are going to be semi-live, just not to the degree of No Man Sky .. just yet.
Live service is very prevalent in everyone's lives, in fact, so to speak.

@Savage_Joe
Now that reminds me of what GenDesign and Kojima is cooking on the other end, and when can we finally get a look-see

Certainly do! Doesn't hate them though.
Bloodborne might the only one I ever gone through and enjoyed, and that's fine, because I know I'm more of a gacha gamer than anything else.
If the Phantom Blade Zero I've seen feels anything near like Zenless Zone Zero, I'd welcome it any day.

It's good for the rewards you get compared to other similar genre, especially on anniversaries updates like this.
It's not free lunch is the only downside (events grind), but hey, it's enough for me to keep me playing it.
Each to it's own, always.
