So much wrong with this. GoW was really good, but there are probably 15 better games competing in the IGN tournament alone, and there are many other games not in the tournament that are better.
I'm between "good" and "very good". The ending was amazing. Wolverine?!! C'mon, incredible. Spidey 2 looked epic. GoW 2 as well. GT7, okay sure. KOTOR seems like a maybe (never really was into the original). And I'll probably play Forspoken.
However, the remainder (and the large portion) of the show was a total dud.
@Dezzy70 You're better off. I have all LG OLED TVs. The Sony A80J I just recently purchased (my wife liked the fact that it had the Rakuten Viki app and therefore didn't require the use of a Roku or Fire Stick) I had to return because of massive lag in Game Mode. I just grabbed another C1 and couldn't be happier.
@AdamNovice @Amppari It's obvious he didn't just get burnt out and "want a break". Why would he wait two years to let people know why he left, ignoring question after question about it all this time? Why would Sony usher him out the door and never post a thank you or an explanation for Layden's moving on? It's more than obvious he either lost his support at Sony and/or was not happy with some of the people he was working with and/or was forced out.
Honestly though, how could anyone have their sights set on anything different? There's way too many games out there to count on any of them being released on PS Plus.
Was really excited until around the ten minute mark, when it started stating its anti-Ten Commandments. Not really into supporting blasphemy. Oh, well... plenty of other games to play.
I think it's hysterical how people here at Push Square still think it's NOT Kojima and/or Playstation teasing MGS and/or Silent Hill, despite it being so obvious.
I think the PS5's features are great, but ultimately they aren't going to push me to invest my time into a mediocre game like Plague Tale, at least not when I have a very large backlog of better games to play.
@BloodNinja I got through almost the whole game without blocking and parrying (there are a couple spots you have to). People said it was impossible, but I got tendonitis fairly early on hitting L1 to parry so much, so I had to change. Once I found own style (basically playing the combat closer to Souls but with more running and dodging), I took off with it. It's an amazing game, and I love all the Souls games, too (I go all the way back to King's Field, in fact). Sorry it didn't click for you, but maybe you could try an adjustment, too.
@BoldAndBrash Couldn't disagree more. Sully is one of the more shallow characters ever, and Wahlberg absolutely has the right disposition and innate cynicism for the part. Tom Holland's casting is the odd choice.
This game has many of the same exact animations and commentary from 10-15 years ago. I'm starting to get really annoyed with the lazy developer approach and Sony's tolerance of it. At least there finally is a stadium creator (which they should have made a decade ago). I'm so glad I got this on Game Pass and didn't spend any money on it.
Jaffe is dead wrong; Sony and Jim Ryan DO owe somebody — namely, the people who invest in PlayStation through console and game purchases, as well as investors in the company.
The game looks just awful. It's pretty much in line with other Yuji Naka games, as far as I'm concerned. The only game of his that I have liked is Girl's Garden. Sonic and Nights are two of the most overrated properties ever, imo.
It is unofficially (soon to be officially) OVER for EA and their loot box/micro practices. This will cause major action by multiple government bodies and will induce a ripple effect to include 2K, Activision, etc. What a fantastic day!

Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5) - A Gorgeous Adventure with an Old-School Approach
To me, the graphics/animations alone warrant an 8, especially given this was done by an indie studio on their first game.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits PS4 Players Report Game-Breaking Bug When Using Taro Mask
I guess this is what you get for not buying a PS5 from a reseller and playing it on there.
Re: NBA 2K22 (PS5) - Basketball Sim Is At Its Best on the Court
"At it's best on the court" sounds like "the game is not that good, you should be playing on the actual court".

Re: PS5's Abandoned App Pre-Loads This Week, So Here's a Man with an Eyepatch
@Jaz007 Exactly. And to me, if it's not legit, Sony doesn't allow ANY of this stuff from a studio making a PS5 exclusive.
Re: PS5's Abandoned App Pre-Loads This Week, So Here's a Man with an Eyepatch
@Janeo99 If it's weird and atypical, it's his style.

Re: PS Store Summer Sale Brings the Heat on 21st July
@NEStalgia Worth every penny.
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Is Beautiful When Its Distinctive Features Are Used Properly
@Bentleyma- I haven't, but I did see the review here and I took a look at some video. It looks fine but nothing really to pique my interest.
Re: Soapbox: PS5 Is Beautiful When Its Distinctive Features Are Used Properly
I think the PS5's features are great, but ultimately they aren't going to push me to invest my time into a mediocre game like Plague Tale, at least not when I have a very large backlog of better games to play.
Re: Elden Ring Combat, Open World, and Story All Detailed
@BloodNinja Okay. Was just trying to help.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Looks Lovely, New Gameplay Shown in Dev Presentation
I think this looks incredible, including the gameplay. Visuals look just as good to me.
Re: PS5, PS4's Sifu Busts a Move at The Club in New Trailer
Looking more interesting.

Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Is a Gorgeous Reimagining, Gets a Worldwide Release
@Judal27 Love the Octopath look; it has made turn based games interesting to me again.
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Is a Gorgeous Reimagining, Gets a Worldwide Release
@Matroska I think it's quite a difference. I personally didn't love how XI looked (or played, really).
Re: After Over a Decade, Here Are Two Seconds of the Uncharted Movie
@BoldAndBrash Couldn't disagree more. Sully is one of the more shallow characters ever, and Wahlberg absolutely has the right disposition and innate cynicism for the part. Tom Holland's casting is the odd choice.
Re: Lies of P Is a Pinocchio-Inspired Souls-Like Action RPG Coming to PS5
The voice acting is hysterically bad.
Re: All DualSense PS5 Controller Colours
I’m just glad there was no mention of things being gray when they are actually black.
Re: Sony Has More Than 25 PS5 Exclusives in Development, And Almost Half Are New IP
@Akurusu Yeah, we're not playing the same game.
Re: Sony Has More Than 25 PS5 Exclusives in Development, And Almost Half Are New IP
@Akurusu I think you don’t understand the definition of walking simulator.
Re: Sony Has More Than 25 PS5 Exclusives in Development, And Almost Half Are New IP
@Ssimsim No one. But some one would’ve.
Re: Next-Gen PSVR for PS5 Sounds Mind Blowing
I cannot use the original iteration at all, secondary to motion sickness. If this can help with that, I am all in again on PSVR!
Re: Alternative PS5 Controller Colours Apparently En Route
@get2sammyb What gray? The controller is white and black...
Re: PS Plus Members Get Exclusive Early Access to Wreckfest PS5
@fluggy Honestly IMO it doesn’t get tons better. Play PS1 Destruction Derby instead.
Re: May PS Plus Game Wreckfest Gets PS5 Features Trailer
Played it on PS4 and was decidedly unimpressed but will give it another shot on PS5.
Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Plus Video Pass the Right Way to Expand PS Plus?
Weird poll. Options 3 and 4 are the same thing...
Re: Out Today: MLB The Show 21 Launches at Full Price on PS5, PS4
This game has many of the same exact animations and commentary from 10-15 years ago. I'm starting to get really annoyed with the lazy developer approach and Sony's tolerance of it. At least there finally is a stadium creator (which they should have made a decade ago). I'm so glad I got this on Game Pass and didn't spend any money on it.
Plus, Super Mega Baseball is more fun.
Re: Days Gone Director on Skipped Sequel: 'If You Love a Game, Buy It at F***ing Full Price'
What a jerk. Hey — make a better game and maybe I’ll be motivated to buy it day one.
Re: Rumour: Sony Planning 'Counterpunch' to Xbox Game Pass
Jaffe is dead wrong; Sony and Jim Ryan DO owe somebody — namely, the people who invest in PlayStation through console and game purchases, as well as investors in the company.
Re: Returnal Gets New PS5 Gameplay Footage in Another Housemarque Dev Diary
This is looking rather interesting to me — for the first time. I'll wait for reviews and may grab it.
Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
I think Sony is badly missing Shawn Layden right now.
Re: Balan Wonderworld (PS5) - One of the Worst 3D Platformers of the Past Decade
The game looks just awful. It's pretty much in line with other Yuji Naka games, as far as I'm concerned. The only game of his that I have liked is Girl's Garden. Sonic and Nights are two of the most overrated properties ever, imo.
Re: Mini Review: Kaze and the Wild Masks (PS4) - A Tough But Fun 2D Platformer
Not huge on the art style; will give this a pass.
Re: MLB The Show 21 Dissects Gameplay in Extended Livestream
Alfonso Soriano isn't remotely close to a legend though...

Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
@GamesVanDerBeek That's really cool. It's amazing what people have done with rosters.
Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
@GamesVanDerBeek Yeah, I just wish people could focus on the positives. But I can understand some degree of disappointment.
Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
@GamesVanDerBeek That would still be a great feature for PS4 owners, though. I'm just as excited about trying others' stadiums as making my own.
Re: This Is How MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Will Work
Absolutely stoked. Unique features and dimensions make things more interesting. I wish modern baseball had more of it.
Re: MLB The Show 21's Stadium Creator Is Exclusive to Next-Gen
Woooooooooooot!!!! Finally a reason to buy The Show again; last purchase was the first one on PS4.
By the way, that ad is awesome.
Re: First Free Play at Home Game Available Now on PS4
It was pretty good till the drowning stage, where I gave up after numerous tries.
Re: Soapbox: Man, Remember Black?
Played it recently on Game Pass. First several levels were great but it got repetitive and crazy hard, so I left it there.
