I tried Dredge when it hit plus and fell head over heels in love with it. Finished it in two sittings, which is something I haven't done with a game in a long time.
@Mikey856 I just pre ordered from amazon on physical. It's got the placeholder price of 59.99 but there's rumblings it will be lower on release. You only pay when it's dispatched so if it does change, you won't be charged the 60. If it doesn't, you're free to cancel it if you want to wait for a sale š
I'm finally gonna pick this up on disc (uk) as I've been meaning to play it for a while. Been in a bit of a gaming lull of late so I'm hoping this is the game to pull me out of it. Although it looks like it will be from Ebay as it is nowhere to be seen in stores.
I do hope Sony throw folks a bone at some point though with a decent showcase. While I don't particularly like seeing games advertised as 'coming in summer 2055', I do like knowing there are actually games coming I want to play.
Teardown should stay in your library as it was one of the monthly plus games, as opposed to a catalogue addition. I think any way at least. Maybe Liam or someone can confirm.
Will be interesting to see how many of those that whined - not the people legitimately affected due to location, the band wagon babies that wouldnt create an account - now acknowledge this was resolved in a weekend. A single weekend. Compare that to other games that take weeks, months and in some instances, legal actions.
@BacklogBrad completely agree its unnecessary. It's the world we live in though. Hell, we all gave info to login and post comments here. I just don't get what the specific issue is here.
For the record, I do agree its grim for folks who can't make psn's due to the country they're in. There may be workarounds but they shouldn't be needed.
The flip side to this is Sony doesnt sell the game in those countries, Steam chose to. Yet there seems to be no uproar towards Steam. Which highlights the mess that is 3rd party logins.
The funny part of all this is all these folks ranting and complaining are doing so on places that they had to register for, using the exact same info they are so precious about sharing.
@olwakachangchang The lock out is grim, although I imagine those folks should get angry at Steam for selling it rather than the publisher for funding it.
@VaultGuy415 I own the PS collection version and still managed to pick it up in the sale for Ā£3 and change. Purely because I'd seen on here (I think) that it might not be eligible for the free upgrade if you had it through the collection.
My father in law is staying with us so game time will be slim pickings this weekend. When I can though I will be diving between Helldivers 2 and Dave the Diver.
While I will still be around for this (I hope anyway), I'm riding that wave of mid 40's life crisis were I realise at some point I will get excited for a release and be dead before it arrives.
I still need to play this through. It's sat there installed, I just need to get going on it. The constant fixes made me hold off but it feels like it's pretty good to go. I just need to get off Helldivers...
@Northern_munkey I had a food run without it happening last night. Yesterday afternoon I had two on the bounce after putting in a good half hour on the missions. As you say, they do seem to be on top of this stuff though so that is a blessing.
This was the most recent HD2 article on here so apologies for being slightly off topic, is anyone else experiencing a lot of crashes in the game at the minute? Either during or just after finishing a mission?
As long as it holds steady and is well paced, I really don't care what the frame rate is. I mean, if there's an option for 60 I will likely play that depending on the game. Although I'm more than happy to pick quality mode in other games. I have been enjoying the 40 fps option in games that have it.
As an aside, I have an OLED and all this 30fps is unplayable on OLED just baffles me. Literally see zero issues with it. Opinions though, we all got one.
@UltimateOtaku91 You can play with just a crew of pals on a private server if that helps? Me and my kids play it together and it's good fun without constantly getting plundered by some 300 foot death boat. Although awards are reduced and some stuff is capped, if you are just there for the fun of it, it's the way to go.
@ChrisDeku I will keep an eye on them. Dont get me wrong, the game plays fine, just wasnt sure if there was something going on with mine. Appreciate the response pal.
Does anyone else have an issue where you cant see the number of players, deaths etc... next to the planet on the map screen? Ive also noticed that planet liberation stats dont move for me or sometimes literaly just show 0000000%.
Love the game but wasnt sure if this was just me or a general issue.
I really enjoyed this first time round but, without spoiling anything, there is a story beat that i think folks wouldnt feel as hard in the new version if played that way.

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Quietly Adds Uncensored New Costumes in Controversy Aftermath
@get2sammyb totally agree. Just the community uproar felt a little icky. Nothing against the developer in any way.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Quietly Adds Uncensored New Costumes in Controversy Aftermath
