I haven't been interested in live service shooters and I'm miffed that Bungie put the brakes on Factions 2 — that said, the Marathon teaser was incredible and I'll give the game a fair shot
@PenguinLtd DS2 is incredible and quite unfairly maligned. Go in with an open mind and make sure to level up ADP, which gives you crucial dodge roll improvements.
@NeonPizza Good post, you obviously know what you're talking about. I'd like to rent/borrow a PC VR headset to try Alyx (and maybe Boneworks) on my 3080ti but I have no interest in supporting Meta as a games platform. I think that Q2 was purchased by millions of normies who saw it as a fun toy, but its attach rate has been crap and the Q3 will flop very hard. We shall see.
@TrickyDicky99 Strongly disagree. Meta blew its wad with the cheap, low-res Quest, which sold a ton but is now collecting dust in living rooms across the world. Subsequent Meta headsets like Quest 3 are going to flop, while the PS5 is a big hit despite recent disappointments.
With PS5's install base, PSVR2 should muddle along fine with 3rd party support. That said, I'm glad Liam gave it to them with both barrels here — the total lack of exciting VR titles during the May blow-case was unacceptable.
Zero mentions of GT7? Pretty odd, that's the killer app thus far. I've never been into racing games until it and now I find myself reading car magazines and becoming a bit of a gearhead. Sony should have made GT7 a big part of the marketing push — a missed opportunity.
I would not have bought it if it were on PSVR2. I could do another 100 hours of GT7 w/ the headset easy. It's honestly made it tough to get into my other PSVR2 purchases
I'm a Playstation fanboy. I regard my Switch as a disappointment. Just 2 great games in 6 years, plus MH Rise (but I'd wish I waited for the PC or PS5 version).
I completed Elden Ring and I've only scratched the surface of TOTK. But it already seems like Zelda is the game of the decade, while ER was an overhyped mess (especially compared to its excellent predecessors, I even love DS2).
Special shoutout to the map tower cutscenes in TOTK which seem inspired by Horizon's tallnecks.
@UltimateOtaku91 There are some excellent bits in Burning Shores where Seyka holds open something for Aloy to shoot or vice versa. They need to use this in the multiplayer game
CANCEL YOUR PREORDER and re-purchase if you cannot preload. This worked for me, I am all set to go for 9 PM PST. Playstation support chat, you have the right to cancel until the dlc is live in your region

Re: Final Fantasy 16's Demo Has Been a Huge Hit With PS5 Players
It's fantastic. I finished the second part last night. That one reviewer who called it mindless button mashing must have been playing "story-focused."
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Demo?
It's great. I'm thrilled. I like that it's GoT-inspired. Best graphics of any vidya to date isn't bad either
Re: What Time Is Capcom Showcase 2023?
I want a World 2 teaser so bad lol

Re: Phantom Blade Zero, the Awesome PS5 Action Game from PS Showcase, Sounds Too Good to Be True
Is the gameplay real? Fake? Either way, I'm struggling to get excited about a PS samurai game that isn't from Sucker Punch
Re: Bungie’s Marathon Trailer QR Code Leads to ARG with More Hidden Information
@SoulChimera I do agree with you on this, at least
Re: Bungie’s Marathon Trailer QR Code Leads to ARG with More Hidden Information
Bungie got TLOU2 Factions cancelled because they didn't see enough opportunities for microtransactions. I'm already living in a dystopian ARG.
Re: Arizona Sunshine 2 Revealed for PSVR2, Expect Gore-Geous Zombie Action Late 2023
I'm gutted we got nothing but shooters for the headset

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
Total disaster, Ryan and Hulst should retire and focus on their golf game
Re: Elden Ring Was a Bigger PS5, PS4 Hit Than Anyone Could Have Ever Predicted
Open world Bloodborne is an awful idea imho. After DeS PS5 and Elden Ring, I'd prefer to see Bluepoint carry the series forward

Re: Oh No, the Bloodborne Remake Rumours Have Returned
They need a triple-megaton showcase to silence the "nogaems" critics. Bloodborne Remastered or Bloodborne 2 would add up to at least 1.5 megatons

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Monster Hunter Rise on PS5, PS4?
I'm too depressed to continue playing Sunbreak on Switch thanks to lack of cross-saves. It's so painful that I can't play my save on my PS5.
