I couldn't care less at the moment. This gen have been incredibly boring. Both AAA and Indies are just releasing the same kind of games, over and over again. Maybe I'm just bored of modern games. I'm having much more fun, with PS2 games now.
They should scale back on the npc AI, to lower the load on the poor CPU. PS5 Pro won't improve the performance much, since the CPU is only 10% faster. Maybe a few frames and that's it.
Yeah, I still got my PS2 hooked up. I've been playing through Maximo 2 and Darkwatch, two games I didn't get the chance to play back then. And I'm actually having more fun discovering "new" games on the PS2, than playing on my PS5.
Amongst my friends, I'm still the only one, that has upgraded to PS5. If it keeps getting great games, it might even survive the entire PS5 generation. This far into the next generation, the PS2 and PS3, was either dead, or only got Fifa games.
I give up. I've played about 17 hours now, and it's just a chore to play. If they had cut down on all the padded and unnecessary crap, then they might have been able to finish the story in this one...
I enjoyed Remake, but even that one had issues. But none of them as bad as in this one.
And the amount of nonstop dialogue, is driving me nuts, during combat.
I see it suffers from the same endless talking, as in Raiden V. I hope you can turn it off. I don't want unnecessary distractions, when playing a shmup...
Probably gonna suffer from the same problem that basically all modern tv-shows does now. Focus too much on soap opera nonsense, and just sprinkle in a minute or two of action in the beginning and end of the episodes. And then it will go on for too many seasons, with worse and worse quality.
I don't feel any excitement for tv-shows any longer. Same with the trash that is released in theaters.
I'm bored by modern AAA games. Cinematics and realistic graphics don't impress me anymore. I rather they would make more AA games instead, with fun artstyles, and new ideas/gameplay. With smaller budgets, they can take more risks again, and focus on actual gameplay. Plus they don't take 5 years to make.
I'm bored of mega budget AAA games. They play it too safe, and focus too much on cinematics and realistic graphics. Sony could have made those studios make lower budget AA games instead, to fill in the void between their AAA releases. This will generation have been a huge disappointment, both from Xbox and PS. And from now on, I'll stick to PC and Nintendo consoles.
"Excessive padding at times
Some truly crap side quests"
Same as the Remake then. (And also the genre as a whole)
I don't have the patience with yet another one of those games, where 2/3rds of the game, is a chore to play.
**** Limited Run... Often we get standard retail releases over here in Europe, of titles that LGR got their nasty hands on, in the US. So hopefully Hi-Fi Rush, is one of those titles, that gets a standard physical release over here.
I'll just keep playing the original on the PS2. I'm done with all these remakes. They should have re-released the PS2 version in the PS store, and made a brand new game instead.
Visuals are okey (though looked a bit last-gen), but the game design feels very dated. And those sequences, when you have to push L2 and R2, to crawl and turn the valve, just felt like something that should have died, in the PS3 era. The demo for the Remake was much better paced. This felt kinda boring, to be honest.
Hope you can turn of the motion blur in the full game, as it gave me motion sickness. Something I rarely get, even in VR games.

Re: Most PS5 Players Say 60fps Is a Must
@Vivisapprentice
I'm almost 50, and even the games on my Atari 2600, ran at 60fps.
Re: 'Smaller' PS5 Exclusives Still Reportedly Coming Later This Year
About damn time. I'm totally burned out by all the boring cinematic AAA games.
Love Astrobot, so I hope the rumours are true.
Re: New PlayStation CEO Hiroki Totoki Starts Temporary Role Today
What I want from the next CEO.
Move PS HQ back to Japan, and make more AA first party games again.
Re: Jim Ryan Leaves PlayStation as PS5 Set to Become Its 'Most Successful Console Ever'
Doubt it will beat the PS2 at that.

I'm having much more fun, with PS2 games now.
Re: Celebrate Jim Ryan's Legacy with Iconic Digital Bobblehead
I wish it was a physical product, so I could smash it with a hammer. 😂
Re: Devs Allegedly Pondering the Point of Sony's PS5 Pro Upgrade
I just wish that they had given the Pro a much faster CPU. This means that CPU demanding games, will still struggle on the Pro...
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Demo Drops This Week, Progress Carries to the Full Game
I'll check out the demo.
I'm still not sure about this one.
So many hyped games lately, have ended up being disappointments for me.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Rise of the Ronin?
I enjoyed Ninja Gaiden, but I'm just not a fan of their later Souls like games.
Re: Capcom Simply Must Improve Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Performance, Concludes Digital Foundry

PS5 Pro won't improve the performance much, since the CPU is only 10% faster. Maybe a few frames and that's it.
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Could Slip as Far Back as 2026 Due to Development Issues
So a 2028 launch title for PS6 then...
And maybe GTA 7, before I die of old age on PS10 😂
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch
So no easy way to fast travel, in a huge open world game? I don't have time for that.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
I'll wait a couple of months, and hope it's been patched and polished by then.
Re: PS5 Pro's Proprietary DLSS-Esque Upscaler Sounds Superb
Too bad they didn't give the CPU a major upgrade as well. It might become a bottleneck.
Re: MGS3 Remake Main Menu Shown, and David Hayter's Played the Full Game
At the moment, I have zero hopes about this and the Silent Hill remake.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hi-Fi Rush?
You don't need to stay in rhythm, you get better score if you do, but you can just hack and slash in your own style, if you want to.
Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative
Think I'll just upgrade my PC instead.
Re: E3's Spirit Lives on with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest on 7th June
I can't stand this guy.
Just announce games, online, and skip the rest of the boring crap.
I'll bet we'll get more embarrassing Kojima worshipping...
Re: PS4 Is Still Getting Firmware Update Improvements, By the Way
@cuttlefishjones
Yeah, I still got my PS2 hooked up. I've been playing through Maximo 2 and Darkwatch, two games I didn't get the chance to play back then. And I'm actually having more fun discovering "new" games on the PS2, than playing on my PS5.
Re: PS4 Is Still Getting Firmware Update Improvements, By the Way
Amongst my friends, I'm still the only one, that has upgraded to PS5. If it keeps getting great games, it might even survive the entire PS5 generation. This far into the next generation, the PS2 and PS3, was either dead, or only got Fifa games.
And PS4 still has the better UI.
Re: Nobody Wants to Die Looks Too Good to Be True on PS5

But none of them as bad as in this one.

I think I'm done with this franchise.

Re: Preview: Rise of the Ronin Shows Promise, But It's No Showstopper Yet
What might keep me from playing this, is because I'm totally burned out on open worlds.
I hope we get a demo.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
@TommyNL
So if you don't like a Sony exclusive, then you're just a Xbox fanboy?
Grow up.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Director Already Teasing What Comes Next
They need to cut down on the terrible side quests and bloat.
Not sure I'm gonna return for part 3, after playing Rebirth.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Did Ubisoft co-produce this?
So many terrible and pointless side quests, and other useless bloat. The first 10-20 hours was fun, but after that...
They should have kept it at 30-40 hours. There's just not enough story in here.
I think I'm done with Final Fantasy.
It's just not the same franchise I grew up with, during 90:s.
I'll give it a 6, because I had fun in the early part of the game.
Re: Please Stand By for Official Fallout Prime Video Trailer
Probably gonna suffer from the same problem that basically all modern tv-shows does now.
Focus too much on soap opera nonsense, and just sprinkle in a minute or two of action in the beginning and end of the episodes. And then it will go on for too many seasons, with worse and worse quality.
I don't feel any excitement for tv-shows any longer. Same with the trash that is released in theaters.
Guess I just got old and grumpy 😂
Re: Reaction: What Is Happening to the Video Games Industry and Why Are There So Many Layoffs?

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Graphical Problems Are Clear in Digital Foundry Report
@Splat
It's not a proper open world. It has open areas/regions.
And FFXVI, which also had open areas, like this one, looks MUCH better.
Re: Reaction: The Problem with PlayStation Right Now
I'm bored of mega budget AAA games.
They play it too safe, and focus too much on cinematics and realistic graphics.
Sony could have made those studios make lower budget AA games instead, to fill in the void between their AAA releases.
This will generation have been a huge disappointment, both from Xbox and PS. And from now on, I'll stick to PC and Nintendo consoles.
Re: 900 PlayStation Employees Laid Off, London Studio Closed
They need to stop wasting hundreds of millions of dollars, making a damn video game.
They have gone too far with this whole AAA thing.
I really miss the PS1-PS3 era of Playstation.
The magic is gone...
Re: Video: One Year Later, Is PSVR2 Doing Enough?
I finally got someone to buy my PSVR2.
Good riddance.
Re: Random: Tipsy The Last of Us HBO Star Pedro Pascal Secures SAG Award
I would also get drunk, if I had to sit through one of these boring award shows.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?
My PSVR2 is gathering dust.
Not even RE4 VR could hold my interest long, due to the janky controls etc.
I'm having much more fun with Quest 3.
Especially since I can also play PCVR games wireless.
Been trying to sell my PSVR2, but so far noone is interested in buying the damn thing...

Re: Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance on PS5, PS4 Confirmed, Out in June 2024
The Switch version looks and runs like a**.
Glad it finally gets a release on more powerful platforms.
Re: Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush Treated to Physical PS5 Versions by Limited Run Games

Often we get standard retail releases over here in Europe, of titles that LGR got their nasty hands on, in the US. So hopefully Hi-Fi Rush, is one of those titles, that gets a standard physical release over here.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Will Feature a Trio of Graphics Options
So balanced is 40fps?
I wish more games had a balaced mode.
FFVII Rebirth, would be a perfect choice for that.
Re: Bloober Team Insists Konami to Blame for Ill-Received Silent Hill 2 Remake Trailer
I'll just keep playing the original on the PS2.
I'm done with all these remakes. They should have re-released the PS2 version in the PS store, and made a brand new game instead.
Re: PS5 Is Entering the 'Latter Half of Its Life Cycle', Says Sony
Feels like the gen has barely started, thanks to all the damn remasters, remakes and cross-gen games...
I hope the next gen, doesn't pull this s**t again.
Been playing more and more PS2 and PS3 games lately.
Re: Embracer Layoffs Total Nearly 1,400 So Far, 29 Unannounced Games Cancelled

Sweet! That's earlier than I expected.
Re: 13 More Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium This Month
I wish we got more PS1-PS2 games.
Premium just isn't worth it, for me.
I ended up getting FreeMcBoot and a HDD for my old PS2, instead of waiting for the classics to come to the service.
Re: Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025
Whatever comes next from Sony, it better be a new IP's. I'm so damn burned out on anything Spider-Man, Horizon, God of War, The Last of Us, etc.
Or bring back Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Resistance, Killzone and Astrobot, if you can't come up with a brand new platformer or FPS IP.
Re: GTA 6 Is Unlikely to Release Before April 2025, Analysts Advise

Yeah, at this rate, I might have died of old age, before GTA VII comes out
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo?
Visuals are okey (though looked a bit last-gen), but the game design feels very dated. And those sequences, when you have to push L2 and R2, to crawl and turn the valve, just felt like something that should have died, in the PS3 era. The demo for the Remake was much better paced. This felt kinda boring, to be honest.
Hope you can turn of the motion blur in the full game, as it gave me motion sickness. Something I rarely get, even in VR games.
