That game is a technical marvel but the story is 4th grade elementary school level.
I get what they were going for but for that they should have depicted Abby's father differently and they should have spent some time with Abby's dilemma of revenge.
Even with that not being there, Abby still comes off as a reasonable one compared to a totall dumbf*** they made Ellie out to be.
People disliked Abby? Try Ellie, by the end of it. How can you like what they made her out to be? A dumb, selfish lunatic. Fails her love, fails the child, fails to revenge Joel, fails to stay the f* away when being spared by Abby... twice. And still decides to beat up Abby in her emaciated half dead form. They really destroyed Ellie. By the end of it I liked Abby more, but it didn't matter because the story quality of this game is what happens when you stop striving to outdo yourself and start believing people around you who push you to the stars by licking your behind.

I'll handle it also on my difficulty level: play it if it ever comes to plus or now. If not... ehhh plenty of fish in that ocean.

Hades and some other two... but honestly, my most anticipated game is "12 minutes" which, sadly, I'll be playing via game pass on xbsx.

@HotGoomba it's worse than that. It requires at least a PS4Pro AND an SSD to run well enough to be enjoyable.
Wait, scrap that. In one of the recent patches CDPR actually managed to make the game perform worse than the release version, so now it simply fails to load assets even if you have an ssd.
It is literally worse after all this patching.
Forget this game on consoles until they come up with native ps5 and xbsx versions.

@sawaoyamanaka heavy rain on ps3 looked better.

@Nepp67 I thought the game already had dullsense implementation on XB. 😈 It was fine as a gamepass game, i.e. I played it until I was bored.

@FatalBubbles nothing game breaking but it has bugs, the ones I saw were mostly related to falling out of the world, but since checkpointing is great, nothing to drive me mad. And they were extra rare, so practically, it's all good.

@TheFrenchiestFry it's not news and anyone half informed knows it, but what it is, though, it's a "news" article that drives the engagement on this site up. Not necessarily a click-bait, more like click-missery.

The pain is strong in this one. Calm down young padawan. 😂

Well deserved congratulations. The number of games that gamepass will make available during 2021 is astounding.
Currently enjoying Ratchet and Clank, but oh, boy, am I looking forward to these xb 1st party games.

Downloaded and waiting for the unlock. This will be the first truly ps5 game I am going to play.

@Sarcasmatwork hey, at least I am housebroken.

@TeapotBuddha They’re calling the cops, put the piece away.

Sorry? Can't hear you over the awesome MassEffect sound.
😂
I mean, cyberpunk 2077 feels like it happened eons ago. They had their window. It's closed now.

Pffft. Come back when you earn a platinum in a mind numbing, most inane trophy list... like any Naught Dogs game. Returnal trophy list is a logical succession of trophies while you are getting good.

I expect to learn about games that we will play in 2024.

I don't care. Have a ps5, played less on it than on my XBsX. I just had to get the ps5, being such a PS segz worker that I am, but I'm telling all my dudes and relatives to relax and wait for xmas 2022 before buying it.

@Kopite get an xbox and a month of gamepass. Play enhanced versions. Sell back if you will.

@Just1moretry God of War, The Last of Us and then Horizon to get out on a high and positive note.

10/10 because they matched how they look and play in my memory of them.

Aloy's face was not ok in the first game. They made it unnaturally symmetrical (they literally mirrored one side) but that can be explained within the narrative of the game, given Aloy's origins etc. I found that face to be way deep into uncanny valley.
The new face makes no sense temporally as it looks as if we are back to Aloy's mid teens and not late teen or post teen years. I am not generalising - some people have their mid teen face well into their late twenties but once they are out of that phase, they don't go back. Aloy's face was already out of that stage in Zero Dawn.
That said, and off to totally irrelevant personal appeal, I found her to look more natural, cute actually. Yes, her face is a bit chubby but so what? You try fighting those machines and keeping an eye on your BMI.

To people saying that she looks more masculine, you are not totally wrong, she does a bit, but I didn't hear you cry out in pain when FFVII remake came out and Cloud looked like the sweetest rose. 😂

Now, if you'll excuse me, I am busy playing Mass Effect.

EDIT: oh, oh, oh, yes, just to be clear, that suggested look in the tweet is just hilariously wrong. I have nothing against Instagram models and "influencers" but c'mon my man, get out a bit, meet some people.

Not sold at all, but I was not sold on Zero Dawn either and it became my favorite sci-fi game of the last generation.
Right now, I'm indifferent to it and I am sure this will change the minute I start playing it when it releases in September 2021.

@Arugula that's nice of you, but the game is ancient by now. No spoilers alert no more. Enough is enough. 😈

@Arugula that's Freya, former Queen of the Valkyries, former Queen of Asgard, Baldur's mother and, ok, yes the witch in the woods in the last God of War, c'mon now, show some respect😋.

Yes, Sony should have something like that and while they're at it, Sony should either work with MS to fully support MS' controller for special needs gamers or make something of their own, the backwards dark ages corporate a**es that they are.

I came here thinking I would be the odd one. Phew, there's quality in the comments. Forget Sunset Overdrive. Overhyped mediocre game that quickly bored me. I played it on XB1X and even that awesome performance couldn't save the game. I hope they don't waste their talent on that cr** again.

Seven is "almost half" 😂

@LordSteev yes, I preordered. When you go to your library it will let you download it now so that when release time comes you could start it then and there.

@LordSteev dude, you're in for a ride! When I played them, I had all the DLCs and especially those in ME2 are awesome! It will be a totally new game for you, man. You're gonna have a great time.

@LordSteev you said it man! same here! I just started the ME LE download. Can't wait to play them - I have also played them on release and then never again. Yup, once ME lands, I will play nothing else.

@LordSteev no problem, man. Just to clarify a bit, there are no visualised story elements, like movies and characters and stuff. It's a story that is told through mission tasks. Gameplay takes center stage as it is about overcoming obstacles to achieve goals. It's a slow game and requires patience.

I get what @Vladspartan is saying. Just enjoy the games for what they are, forget trophies, I am of the same opinion, in my old gamer brain but I also get trophy hunting, I am doing that as well. Vlad, it will help if you think of trophies as top score lists on the old arcades. We played to enjoy the games but we also played for the high scores. Trophies are the new "look I did it!" top score tables. @Sam-Bridges I think Vlad was just using a wrong shorthand for all the words above 😇

@ankehuber @LordSteev given the corona times, this was absolutely in the top of my GOTY 2020 list 😀
The game has a story, recovering areas affected by natural disasters. You accomplish this by completing delivery missions and to accomplish later ones you need better trucks, options for those trucks and equipment. In my mind, this is Death Stranding but with trucks and no BTs 🤣

Hold your wild horses. You will not see this in retail before autumn 2023.

@Snake_V5 the original did. I usually play Yakuza games with Japanese audio. I heard Judgement had good English voice acting, gave it a try and never went back to Japanese. It was that good. I'm guessing the second will be equally good if not better.

I like the story of the first one as well as technical quality. Awesome English voice acting. Awesome mini games, awesome brawling. The only thing I hated was the detective "games"... those sucked and were boring af. They want to have more? Meh. What I was hoping for is more Phoenix Wright gameplay, clues collection, courtroom drama, not some secod grade tailing repetitive gameplay.

@wiiware if you don't mind spending 50% more, for a better performing solution, then samsung t7 seems to be the best way. Although, for that price, I would wait a bit longer and see Sony's list of supported nvme's because right now, for the price of T7 you can get a 1TB gen4 nvme (which should perform close to PS5's built in storage).

@wiiware do yourself a favor and buy a samsung 1TB qvo ssd and an external case for it that supports UASP (e.g. Sabrent Hard Drive Accessory Case Toolless 2.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure).
This is the cheapest way to get max performance of an ssd over usb. It will perform superbly on both ps4 pro (not on OG or slim ps4 though!) and ps5 (for ps4 games).

Oh man, all the people who preordered and bought day1. 😪 not fair.
Stockholm Syndrome will be renamed to Returnal Syndrome soon.

@Dislecksier let me tell YOU something, pendejo, you pull any, uh, crazy ***** with us, you flash a "don't forget" on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your *** and turn it into "remember" till it clicks.
😂

My pet peeve: noticing when professional writers somehow decide to go with "don't forget" where they could have used "remember".

Do you see? Sounds like a friend... instead of your 5th grade 60 year old teacher.

Let's be real here. It's an internal dissection of a competitor's product done for some internal purpose (e.g. learn what is good and bad about the game, to learn from it etc.).
It's fine that they identified gunplay as not on par with the rest of the game's quality AND they did understand that even so, that gunplay works within the game's narrative. It's ok, quit biting y'all. 😂

@Jimmer-jammer CP fan as well. You can't equalise the two. Crashes in CP were the rule, here they are the exception. But, and this is a big one, although I had probably more than 100 crashes during my playthrough of CP, the game never, NEVER, lost any of my progress (due to its phenomenal save checkpoint system). Crashes in Returnal are heart breaking. But hey, that rogue-lite way is spilling to your real life with that game. You die, you repeat from the beginning. Hahaha
Also, many PS fans playing Returnal who poopooed on xbsx' quick resume feature will understand the awesomeness of it now.

LoL at all the Sony's pre release PR with new ways to patch +new compression = less data to be transferred for patching. I mean yes, 10 GB is less than the whole game.

@Coltaine22 no Europeans were mentioned in the question and in terms of geography all three rules, if you don't know Japan's history, could have been invaders. The hint was in the question - year 1281. Both Timur (a.k.a. Tamburlaine) and Ivan the Terible were not even born then.

@SoulChimera I found that since the last update hdmi link finally started working and turning on the tv will turn the ps5 as well (which is something I did not want 😂). Maybe your issues are related to those options? You have to check the hdmi options on both ends, maybe you swith to another source and your tv puts the ps5 into rest mode? Just spitballing...

@Loftimus oh I see. you misunderstood. Well, let me help you, old chap. What I meant was: US has been sticking their nose in everybody's business since they entered WWII. It was a joke, as in, your demand for them to keep out, is hardly gonna cut it with the state of the world.
And here you are, thinking it's a flex, insulting me for no reason. Splendid. Do go on.

@Loftimus excuse me? What are you on about?

@Loftimus 😀 well you can't be sure who is coming from where, with vpns and people having us psn accounts, you are never sure, so I can bet you those are not all US voices.
That said, "so maybe they should stfu on this one and leave us to it." has not been the way americans worked since December 8, 1941.😂

@Loftimus it'll never happen. As long as oil is traded in $. All money is a representation of debt, but the $ represents energy as well. Like in the old days when certain currencies represented gold. New money (crypto) is trying to imbue value into representing data. In any case, as long as the $ represents world's energy transactions, those who control the $ are the empire and the rest are provinciae. And the provinciae always foot up the empire's bill. Thus, the empire's people pay less compared to others.
