Hopefully they can put a little more imagination into the game than they did with Starfield. If Skyrim 2 is anything like Starfield then it will be little more than a visual upgrade over Skyrim with no new ideas.
@itsfoz I think that's what it said in the review. These visual improvements they're talking about better be pretty major to justify going back to this game!
Great game in VR. Now we just need more PSVR2 games to come to PS Plus. In fact, I don't want to buy anymore PSVR2 games, I need them all to be on PS Plus from now on!
Game was way too easy with way too much talking. Main quests felt like side quests. Bosses were a 10/10 for me but the rest of the game felt like filler. I give it a 7/10- could have been an 8 or 9 if they’d cut 15-20 hours of busywork.
The game was great and it was one of the best looking PS5 games when it launched. Make a good game and it's successful! It doesn't have to be AAA open world 100 hours long to make money.
I have a DualSense Edge and I like it. It's my preferred controller now, for sure, but I still wouldn't recommend buying one! The difference between the Edge and the default controller is very small. The only real difference is the extra buttons on the back.
"with the headline addition being the ability to extend your M.2 SSD storage" -Nope! The headline is Atmos support! This is a big deal for people with Atmos capable sound systems. Atmos support was one of the only features putting the Series X ahead of the PS5. If PS5 gets Atmos support and then DolbyVision down the road then the consoles will truly be feature equal.
I thought we'd be waiting for the PS5 Pro for Atmos. I'm super happy!
Glad to hear that some developers are treating a shorter game length as a feature! I'm having trouble even finishing Final Fantasy 16. 25 hours is plenty long for me!
If existing 30 FPS modes will run at 60 FPS and existing 60 FPS modes will run 90-120 FPS then I'll be a happy camper! Would also love to see 3D Audio for speakers.
@ChakaL00T I've had mine since day one of the launch and its fine. I've actually never had a console die on me. Make sure your consoles are getting plenty of ventilation! If all else is normal your replacement should last you for years.
PushSquare dropped the ball on this one. I played it and this game is boring and repetitive within the first couple of hours. I feel bad for anyone who paid full price for this.
Metacritic User Score sits at 5.4 and Critic Score is 64/100. That's about right!
The game is boring as h***! I played the first two matches. They were both exactly the same on the same map. Already tired of the game and not sure whether or not I'll play it a third time. The combat is not satisfying- you're just firing all your bullets until it stops for a second and automatically reloads. There's no reason to take your finger off the trigger button. Meanwhile the NPC AI is saying "Summoning Raptors" over and over again. 4/10.
I gave it a 6. Game was a 10 for about 12 hours split over two days, then it crashed to a 6 when I was already burned out and everything started seeming super repetitive.
I for one am glad that music will be making a comeback in the sequel. Was NOT looking forward to playing through this game with sound effects only. Music makes a big difference!
@thefourfoldroot VRR does improve performance when it enables unlocked framerates. Some games that support this are Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, God of War Ragnarok, and Spider-Man Miles Morales. You're right in thinking that VRR doesn't make a huge difference when framerate isn't unlocked, but unlocking framerate (usually going from 60 FPS to something like 70-90 FPS) is a big deal. Hopefully more and more games will be utilizing unlocked framerates in the future. If the trend of the recent past continues, it will probably be the new standard for major AAA games.
I like playing my PSVR2, but can't see myself regularly dropping $40 on new games for it. Hopefully they'll keep bringing new PSVR2 games to PS Plus. Humanity has turned out to be one of my favorite games for the headset, and the fact that I didn't buy it makes it all the sweeter.
I would have bought this game on release physical, but will skip it if it's digital only. I sell my games after I finish them, which usually means I can get $30 back from a $60 game. Making it digital only basically makes this game $30 more expensive than everything else I play. No thanks!

I don't mind playing in 30 FPS but I do feel like it's time for a PS5 Pro so we can play 60 FPS with high settings!

Good tight gameplay but I wish P didn't lie so much in the game. Would have been even better IMO if P had been honest!
