I was extremely wary to look at the comments here given the hate this game got and is possibly still getting but instead I'm seeing a lot of positivity towards it which really pleases me. I have the Digital Deluxe Edition purchased and I'm really looking forward to playing it when I eventually have the time. I've been wanting this setting in an Assassin's Creed game for as long as I can remember and it's finally here.
I bought it on PC anyway but this really sucks for PlayStation Players. If one Network goes down (or both) you won't be able to play the damn thing online.
Haven't played on mine for quite some time as I prefer to play PCVR now. With no wires to worry about I just find it a far better experience. Still though if you don't have a PC headset I would say it is worth picking up as many PCVR games are also available on PSVR 2 and vice versa.
I bought it on PC but I'm tempted to buy it for PS5 too to try it out on the Pro as I bought that recently. Sometimes I like to compare PC and PS5 games as far as performance goes and this game is another example of that.
A desperate Tweet from a desperate dying Company. Gamestop shut down here in Ireland, it's shutting Stores throughout Europe and the U.S too. It's just a matter of time before they shut down everywhere else.
I got the first game for free on Epic Games, played some of it and it just wasn't for me therefore I won't be buying the sequel, at least for now. I like to relax playing games and Kingdom Come Deliverance was rather stressful to me.
@ATaco Ditto beat me to it. An ordinary person commits a Crime they do the time but if it's someone like this guy or a Politician they more than likely get away with it for the most part. It makes me so angry.
I have it on PC along with Infinite and if this is true this is good news for PlayStation owners who have yet to experience these games. Halo 5 though I expect will remain on Xbox.
Based on my Playtime with this so far people are pretty toxic but what else is new. Admittedly my interest in the game which by itself is pretty decent is falling sharply.
Be interesting to know how long this will last and what demographics are playing it. I expect young Gen Zs. Personally I would rather a new Marvel Ultimate Alliance game than this.
I'll stick to Asgard's Wrath 2 on Quest 3 I think plus Alien Incursion is coming out on PSVR2 and PCVR as well but I haven't decided what version I'm going to buy yet.
I remember when Pokèmon launched because I've been playing them since then. Over the years the bigger they became the more arrogant they became, too big for their boots and complacent. Now I know they'll very likely win the Lawsuit but I hope in the long run it really hurts them and the Pokèmon Company which in turn forces them to make much better games instead of the mediocre garbage we've been getting for years.
It's a shame it took a Playthrough of this game to make me realise just how bad and how stagnated Pokèmon has become but it is what it is.
Used to love watching this show when I was a Teenager. It always made me laugh quite hard the way with every landing punch or weapon strike whether it was the Rangers getting hit or their enemies, there were so many explosions and I loved it.
Couldn't wait so I got it for PC. The Reviewer at Pure Xbox clearly isn't a hardcore fan of these games which is fine. Having grown up with the games as well as the films I'm naturally going to get a lot of enjoyment out of this.
When I booted up my PS5 Pro yesterday and the PS1 startup screen played I was so surprised. I got so overcome with Nostalgia that I fished out my launch PS1 and played Lifeforce Tenka again.
@T-Bone09 Well I'm just basing it on my own personal experience. The Content appearing on my own Feed was from Right Wing extremists. Bear in mind I did not follow these people at all.
Interesting. I already play some VR games now that utilise hand tracking and I really like it. I would definitely play on my PSVR2 a lot more if they introduced it there.
@T-Bone09 I haven't been on Twitter since March so I can't link you to anything now but I'm telling you I was seeing Right Wing content from people expressing extremist views towards immigration and I was also seeing quite a lot of bigotry too. I don't think that's protecting free speech. If you can prove this isn't an issue on Twitter however I'd appreciate it.
I left Twitter/X earlier this year as I was just sick of seeing content from people I don't even follow. For now at least Bluesky is just a peaceful place for me. Twitter/X long before Musk took over just became a Cancerous Cesspit, he just made it worse, a LOT worse.
My first ever PS1 game was a helicopter shooter called Nuclear Strike. It featured live action cutscenes of real actors and I remember being blown away by it at the time. At first I thought the PlayStation was just going to be a novelty and things would go back to the Sega vs Nintendo thing yet here we are 30 years later.
I caved and bought a PS5 Pro and I'm still setting it up but once I'm finished I'll be going with PS1 as I started with that. I Always used to deliberately reboot the system multiple times just so I could listen to the boot up screen.
Looking forward to this. I started playing Temtem recently too and they're just both much better games than Pokèmon will ever be unless Nintendo/Gamefreak step up their game which I don't think they will.
There are many games that feature creatures being captured in some kind of device and don't get me started on games that feature Mounts. I'm totally convinced had Palworld not received the attention it did then it's very possible Nintendo wouldn't have cared at all.
I'm 100% against Nintendo here. If they win the ramifications going forward could be enormous.
As much as I like PlayStation, I've grown up with all PlayStations including PSP PSP Go and Vita I personally don't think it is a particularly good time to pick up a PlayStation. For a start a lot of games that were once exclusive are now on PC which is a good thing but it doesn't make the PS5 a must have like before as a result, it just means people have more of a choice now.
I bought it on PC so I'll likely stick with that. This being said the framerate is still all over the place and I'm playing it on a 4090. Be interesting to see how it performs on the Pro which I'll likely be buying next year but for now I'm not in any hurry.
Buying it later on. It's a shame there's so much hate towards this game over certain things I won't get into here but overall I prefer to decide for myself what I think of a game rather than letting an angry bunch of keyboard warriors decide for me.
Looks nicer sure but so does the original which still holds up very well. I'm stubborn by nature so don't mind me, if you're looking forward to it I hope you enjoy it because it's a good game.
I'm perfectly ok with this tbh. They can put all focus onto their other games and Spider-Man 2 is coming to PC at the end of January anyway so it's possible that played a role in them not wanting to make DLC too.
