Did someone call the Helldivers for help? For freedom and Managed Democracy!

@N1ghtW1ng dude, a lot of us first Helldivers vets are also in this Managed Democracy spreading campaign. And the new dudes are also very freedom loving. Join in, any helldiver you meet will be your friend for however short their life expectancy is.
Don't wait. Join today! Do your part!

eh... would have bought it day 1 but they took too long. Now I'm busy saving Managed Democracy and spreading Freedom so this one can wait until it is 50% off. And, yes, my favorite ps1 game was FF VII, and I have preordered the remake. They took too long to come out with episode 2.

@Atreus97 don't wait too long cadet! As a Helldivers vet, I can tell you that there are unrepeatable moments that will pass you by. The supply lines are stable now, no interruptions in soldiers' deployment over the weekend! Join the fight and spread freedom and managed democracy today!

@BusyOlf Mechs are coming, soldier. 100% Hold that line! Go back to spreading managed democracy!

I've been waiting to spread democracy since my first Helldivers deployment. Making sure central command takes good care of logistics and deployment routes first, before I enlist to serve libertea once again.

After having ps now for years and then extra, I let my Extra expire and downgraded to essential. And this is not to say that the service is not worth it, I think I just have already bought too many games on the ps (seeing that I keep my gamepass ultimate sub, having started owning xb consoles way way way later than ps ones)

@PegasusActual93 c'mon dude, don't you want to see where Bill sources all his hair and beard cosmetics to keep them so clean and awesome while fighting for dear life. Must be worth at least one season.

@sanderson72 yooo, duuude!. Daley Thomson's Decathlon was probably the single reason Kempston had good sale figures those years. 😂 and it was not the Competition Pros that were getting broken, but those fancy Quickshot 2 snowflakes. You brought up some memories I forgot I had.

@DennisReynolds I must say I am not a big fan of dual sense. It feels like holding a big brick and when I start controlling a game it starts feeling like a mud brick. The triggers are tiring, and sticks have horrendously large dead zone.
Now that we have well established that Xb elite 2 is a superior controller for my senses, let me tell you this:
I have bought Control (remedy's game)for both consoles but initially played it and finished it on a ps4pro. I love this game. I have the super duper version for xbsx and ps5. I was getting ready to replay it once again. I was convinced that I would play it on xbsx, but out of curiosity I decided to compare them side by side.
And even though elite2 remains perfect... there is no comparison. It is not the major dual sense features that win. It is the subtle feedback that DS is capable of that is adding to the atmosphere like no other controller can.
And let me not even start with ps5's sound scape... it is unbelievably more nuanced... on a simple set of built-in tv speakers.
So, yeah, dude, going to be replaying Control with the "mud brick"... but what an awesome mud brick it is.

@OldGamer999 totally with you there dude. This gen of consoles has been the slowest to bring the reason to have them to the table (with notable exceptions on both platforms. I don't count Nintendo, they are doing their thing quite well for themselves).

@DragoonZied indeed, partner. You're a good one. I'm too old to care if it's ps now or re-christened ps plus premium, it was all the same to me, a catalogue of ps4 games I could download back in the dark ages of 2021

@IOI @Jacko11 dudes, dudes, I mispoke as it was ps now at the time, but you two are so quick on the trigger. Shame on you. Should have investigated a bit before calling a grown man a liar. Ahh, to be living in the times of the wild west, your destinies would have been sealed. This being modern age, rule of law and all that rubbish, I can just shoot a link to educate you:
https://www.techradar.com/news/the-last-of-us-2-goes-free-on-playstation-now-and-our-minds-are-blown
and yes, it being a ps4 game on ps now meant you could download it and install it locally.

Played this when it was in the ps+ catalogue (EDIT: LAPSUS. I meant "ps now" (back in october 2021)). Eh, it was alredy fine. I don't care about some maybe dlc worthy addons and the story is not worth replaying. I wish these dudes and dudettes at ND would actually get a chance to create something else than uncharted and TLOU.

Sony will talk PS5 slim and show us something new by their in-house remastering studio, a.k.a Naughty Dog. Maybe Uncharted 4 remaster remake. I mean definitely something from their portfolio no one is asking for. Still gloriously looking Uncharted 4 seems like a choice in line with their last of them recent releases.

@rjejr dude, it will obviously be the new 4D tv sets. 3D but with time as the 4th dimension, y'know, like images changing through time. I wish someone invented that by now.

@starnivore well, dude, you're obviously not a golfer. 😉 nihilists... that's just something from "the big lebowsky".
On a serious note: I tried to like From games, but I only end up really disliking them so I learned after the original Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodbourne and Sekiro to finally stop buying them. It's a bummer, man.

Dudes, I had a mild interest until I heard the game is made by those nihilists, From Soft, at which point my interest went downhill so fast it broke terminal velocity.

@NinjaNicky I did the same for Ghost as I always look for "original" language options, but hear me out, then I also played Ghost with English voice acting... and I was blown away. They did it so well... you'd almost forget they were speaking English.

This game is a golfer. Perfect puzzles, great game mechanics and even a nice story. I have not played a puzzler from zero to hero in a long time as I get somewhat bored, but this one is superbly done. Also, doesn't overstay its welcome. 10/10

I'm not buying it, dudes. Not the game, the interest in it. A more plausible explanation is that the publisher has a deal with the PS store.

Have it your way PSdude, but this is almost nihilistic. Small bandicoot energy right there. This is not how to get more people to buy your new obsolete headgear.

@Weebleman huh, Gery, with friends like these...

@Weebleman not for us, gamers, dude. We will go thorough any minor or major pain to experience games. I'm talking about, y'know, the non-bowlers and non-golfers out there, the dudes and dudetes that happily picked up wii sports. We need a wii moment for VR... the tech needs more time dude, no way around it.

well, dudes, color me unimpressed, but I can't get excited about another camera sitting behind the left/right shoulder of the protagonist.. we played 50 games that all look and control essentially the same in the last seven years on this platform.
PSVR is really where innovation is at, shame we will have to wait for the next three hardware generations to pass in order for VR to become what it needs to be so not to be a drag to start and be playing.

Also, keep in mind that as you age you better hope companies are investing into specialised afordable controllers. A lot of gamers are going to enter the "senior citizen" bracket with the next gen of consoles and guess what a lot of them will need. Yup. Accessibility controller.

On another note: thank you Microsoft for paving the way years ago, for shining a bright light at the issue and having others follow.

@LifeGirl @Nintendo4Sonic I hope you two are children and thus your uninformed comments.
Please, people with special needs require custom controllers and to have them at a price point similar to regular controller is very much welcome as is any battery life as accessible custom game controllers are usually only wired.
Please restraint yourself, try to not post thoughtless LoL comments.

@Nyne11Tyme only US and I think Japan got the ps3 that had hardware BC. The EU BC version had a software emulator.

@StrawberryTurtle no, dude, what saved sony was phenomenal buid quality and bluray drive. Xb360 were getting bricked left right and centre and replacing them in EU wasn't as easy as in US back in the day. Also, a lot of people were buying ps3 as a cheaper bluray player with added game console features. You wouldn't believe it but back then semi good bluray players were 800 to 1000 eur if memory serves well.
Of course, late years of that gen served PS3 well because the machine could do more than xb360.
Early days tho... not a single third party game worked better on ps3 than on xb360.

Yo dudes, if you're a huge fan of rick&morty and other creations by justin and the team, this will be right up your alley. I am and I played it via GP and finished it.
The game was already on GP, sold on PC and any money on PS they get will be an extra, there's no flopping here.
Would I have bought the game had it not been on GP? As a huge fan, yes, I absolutely would. Would I have bought it day1 at full price? Nope. But at 50% off? yeah man, the dude abides.

@guacguacboo I get it, I need those games as well, but for me Stray's "chill" was overshadowed by its "annoyingly dull" for subjectively long stretches.
I recently played "Far: Changing Tides" and that one scratched that, to lesser extent Journey and to larger extent Limbo/Inside itch while having interesting gameplay mechanics.

Ahh so many dudes blathering on about nonsense. Look dudes, the boy was standing to get years and years in prison if he stood trial. Now, I don't know if powers that be decided to go easy on the dude or if his Albanian (and make no mistake, the boy is Albanian) "mafia" connections managed to get to the right people to declare him unfit, but I'm sure glad his life is not going to be totally devastated for what was practically a victimless crime (yeah, dude, I don't give a dog's tail about some corpos crying about imaginary loss their borg central suffered because of a script kid attack).

@guacguacboo Stray was ok...ish. I mean, it looks and sounds cool but it was kinda boring. Yes, ok, the story... but gameplay was meh

@ear_wig I also like that cowboy thing you got going there dude.
You said it, man! THE perfect movie!

I think I bought only one PS5 game so far: Ratchet & Clank, and that was a pre-order. I was either day1 or pre-order during PS4 days. So, yeah, plus extra is extra. My backlog is not getting smaller, too many good games to play. Even if I stopped subbing to gamepass and ps+, I would still have years worth of good games to play through and I guess it's the same for most of the dudes&dudettes that started amassing way too many games for the available time they have.
That is to say: after the pandemic bump, all subscription based entertainment properties will see a slump. Look at how Netflix became paranoid. People are back at living and all of these companies are fighting over ever shorter free time people have.

@ear_wig you get extra time dude. Which is priceless.

@djlard yeah, man, Infamous for Miles parts and Prototype for Peter+Symbiote parts. With less gameplay and more button prompts for well hidden QTEs. Hahaha, can't satisfy gamers these days with anything. LoL

Man, this Prototype 3 gameplay is a bit timid compared to Prototype 2. Nevertheless, it still is far out. Can't wait.

And that's cool, that's cool.... but it sounds to me they decided to address a game design issue and package it as an accessibility.
I am not saying that this option will not be welcomed by thalassophobia sufferers, just need to ask the devs: what about other phobias dudes? Fear of heights? Fear of plant life?
It could be my ignorance speaking, man, but as someone already said before, there's a potential of confronting irrational fears in a uniquely safe environments that are video games.
Now, if this was a 1st person game, or a 1st person game in VR... then, ok, I would've absolutely agreed, that deal is real for your subconscious brain, and it is impossible to avoid being on the edge of losing your mind... so there, such options should be a must for any dev, but here, you are literally controlling an avatar which is clearly not you, c'mon dudes & dudettes, get a grip.

@Nyne11Tyme these devs are all top tier devs but , how I see it, they are, pretty much, all making one and the same game type of a game. Narratives are ok and somewhat engaging but in terms of what you do and how you interact with the game... it's been stale waters for that gang.

I really don't understand ng+ for games that have linear story with one beginning and one end. I platinumed 2018 GoW. I loved it to bits. And I never played it again. I'll play the new one when it lands on Sony's subscription service.

@Perturbator for a rocksteady game, it's downright scandalous and revolting. Gameplay looks so, I don't know, generic. It's almost as if I'm looking at Fortnite with a rocksteady dlc.

It was ok, except that Suicide Squad gameplay. Looked boring as hell. And that Harley Spidey Quinn... oh brother... this will be the first rocksteady game I'll be skipping.

@MaikonCSGarcia links yes, not relating to Persona 5, man, c'mon now. Xbox had nothing on P5, it was a PlayStation restricted game for so long.

@nhSnork heh, nice, but for what? Look dude, I'm an odd apple, my most beloved console since 2012 onwards has been WiiU. I love it more than the two ps4 and a ps4pro, a ps5 i have, more than the xb1x and two xbsx, and definitely more than two switch abominations... and still ... of all of them... xb1x and onwards controller (even taking just the ordinary ones and not counting elite2) are just heavenly. Warts (lousy face buttons) and all (toysRus feel to triggers and shoulder buttons) I still prefer them to all others... Elite 2 is just sublime tho but not fair to compare that one to others.

@EVIL-C aye, mate, take her (keyboard) easy, you'll hurt your fingers. Controllers are subjective and subjectively a large number of people (grown up ones, not the kids) have nothing good to say about switch as a controller. So yeah, please, xb controller is like seventeen generations ahead in terms of ergonomics and, unlike switch, not trying to send you straight to an orthopaedic clinic.

@MaikonCSGarcia dude, p4 and p3 are not the issue here. I asked you specifically about P5 and xbox, dude, don't deflect now.
