@ApostateMage The writing in Cyberpunk is top tier. The questlines no matter how small and insignificant they may seem always turned into something so well thought out.

TLOU2 not being nominated for Narrative is ridiculous. The game's story is absolutely incredible and is a wonderful analysis on actions having consequences. A hero to some, can be a villain to others. I appreciated that. We only followed Ellie and Joel, not even thinking of the lives they destroyed along their own journey. By the end, I actually adored certain characters more than Ellie.

Anyway to each their own. Love this game and just started a third playthrough on Grounded +.

I don't expect Part 2 until 2024 at the earliest to be honest. I think FF16 is going to be the next big title for promotion in 2022

@carlos82 I mean my experience never felt like an "incomplete" game in terms of the stories and side quests. The meat of this game is in the side stories, which can equal up to a 100 hours worth of content if you do everything and it does fully flesh out the main questline quite a bit. I am not defending the technical flaws, I've just enjoyed the story enough to past them.

@Mostik I found the story very sad and touching. Also, there are so many side-story questlines that were very wonderfully written and I enjoyed my romanced with Kerry. Some games hit people differently, some people are touched by things others aren't. I have always had games as a medium make me emotional and I connect to them on a personal level. Just who I am as a person.

@Pinkman Yes, it is definitely more stable than PS5...questline glitches of course aren't universal so it seems people just hit very unlucky instances where things go haywire. I've had a couple HUD glitches where I needed to re-load but that has been about the extent of it.

I am just so thankful I own both a PS5 and Series X because my experience of Cyberpunk on Series X has been outstanding. Not a single crash in my first 80-hour playthrough.

I get it is so easy to hate on this game but despite the flaws it features some of the most well-written and emotionally-charged quests I've ever experienced. I have already immediately jumped into a second playthrough to experience it all over again and I wasn't even someone excited for this game at first.

I expect to stay in Night City for hundreds of hours to come. I've played through several endings and each one was brought to the point of sobbing. Haven't had a story touch me like this for a long time.

I mean I adore the game and thankfully have a Series X to play it on where I've logged about 80 hours into my Street Kid playthrough with ZERO crashes. Regardless of the tech issues the writing/story were excellent and I actually cried a few times. Just started a second run, so the world they did create despite flawed has me addicted to it.

Hopefully the Playstation versions will eventually find greater stability.

I'm expecting Starfield, Fallout and Elder Scrolls will be GamePass Day One with maybe 6-12 month exclusivity with PS5 ports in the future. We shall see though.

I appreciate what Bloober did with The Medium and creating an old school SH vibe....but I feel it is time to bring Silent Hill into 2021 and don't feel I would want it to feel so archaic.

I can't wait to dive in. I have sunk close to 200 hours into this game and I am SO ready to raid!

I love how they are acting like ALL PS5 controllers are defective. This is situational and NOT universal. My controller works perfectly fine. This lawsuit will go nowhere.

@LordSteev I am about 70 hours in on Series X (which has been a very smooth experience) and loving every moment of it, warts and all.

Honestly, I switched over to playing it on my Xbox Series X in Quality Mode and it has been a very pleasant experience. In 70 hours of playing I've experienced ZERO crashes, the visuals look above and beyond the PS5 and quest glitches have been minimal (though I know these are circumstantial not universal).

It's too bad this crashing issue via BC can't somehow be resolved. I couldn't stand it, so won't play it on that platform. (NOT dissing the PS5, I own both).

I prefer talent of said actor over looking like a fictitious video game character. Seems so many people are hooked on looks of actors vs. characters rather than the incredible talents they can bring to the role.

I am really looking forward to the pre-rendered backgrounds displaying in 4K as they should. Not sure what happened with those. FFXIII enhanced on Xbox actually has cleaner looking backgrounds than VII did.

This is unfortunate for sure.

I would appreciate the pre-rendered backgrounds to finally display in full HD/4K...seeing as someone was able to datamine them and discovered they were created in full HD resolution, I would like to finally see them in all their non-muddy glory. Same for the missing textures door, cough cough

Let's be honest - this looked so horrible. The backlash when people saw it definitely influenced the delay. The game looks like a PS3 title.

People saying they can’t see the difference need glasses. You all are some seriously and hard to please awful people

I've got 160+ hours into and love it. Yes, I've purchased things from the store for it...no apologies.

As someone who adored Spiritfarer, this looks right up my alley.

@DeepSpace5D you must be blind and need glasses

This is definitely not their "Spring" launch window since May is definitely summer. I hope it actually hits that date and doesn't get delayed to fall.

@get2sammyb I’m feeling quite privileged having both consoles right now.

This looks like some fun, mindless entertainment.

The pandemic is still throwing off production schedules like crazy. So I am not surprised.

@PhantomMenace84 thanks it’s been driving me nuts. I actually just ordered a new TV thinking that was the issue. Probably jumped the gun with that but I’ll grab a new hdmi 2.1 for the PS5 just in case. I’ve read some of the included cables have had issues

I have noticed some strangeness with some backward compatible games. Like weird green squiggle line flashes/white flashes, just some odd artifacts from time to time.

@thefourfoldroot Oh, I don't think it will ever return to the PSN store at this point.

@LordSteev What platform you playing on because I've been reading about visual downgrades across all platforms.

Feels like this game was created with poorly written spaghetti code where one fix breaks something else. Also, wondering why the visual quality was downgraded across all platforms. NPCs won't walk up stairs anymore either.

I wonder why the Series X version runs so well and what’s causing the crashing so bad on the PlayStation versions, specifically PS5

I adored the Resident Evil 3 Remake and enjoyed it way more than the RE2 Remake. Interesting that M2 wanted to make it faithful and now they are like no let's change it.

@RenanKJ it’s a direct sequel to VII of course it’s going to play and feel like it.

Interesting how it says the game might not be available depending on when you purchase RE Village. So is this MP mode a temporary thing or they are just saying like if you buy it years from now the ReVerse servers may not be online anymore?

I'm expecting the release date for RE Village and possibly a PS5 exclusive demo. I also would love to see next gen upgrades to RE7/RE2 and RE3 Remakes

I'm wondering if they do add it back to the Playstation Store, if they make it non-refundable with a warning of purchase at your own risk? I saw many on social media keeping the game until they beat it and then returning it. I'm wondering how Sony handles the refunds moving forward.

I’ve run into an issue where the cursor no longer glides across the world map smoothly, it now jutters roughly. It’s very weird.

Resident Evil Village wouldn’t be having a huge showcase dedicated to it if the game wasn’t coming out in 2021. I’m expecting that will have a full release date reveal next week and actually hit that date.

I hope they keep Village next-gen exclusive. The footage looks so fantastic. Hoping we get a release date. I am expecting April/May.

@Rob_230 RE8 actually began development as Revelations 3 but was converted to a main entry when it tested so well. Fun tidbit.

My question is how long Sony refuses to list the game digitally on PSN? I can't imagine it is a forever situation, but how long? If the January update is substantial? Do they wait until after February or could they possibly keep it off most of 2021?

I am so ready for Thane to take me again. My dying lizard man

I've spent $100 in that store and I have no regrets. It is optional. It is a single-player game where the core experience is absolutely incredible without it. I've sunk 130 hours into the game and still haven't beaten it.

Midgar was my favorite portion of the original and to have it fleshed out into a full game was fantastic. Midgar is such a wonderful setting. I need to replay it soon.

@TheArt I sure don't. I have my PS5 as my primary but bought the Series S for GamePass and to enjoy BC games and some Xbox exclusives. Honestly, the games look great even though they aren't 4K

After several more crashes I just had it refunded by PSN. Sony did it very quickly and now to just move on. I will check back in a year or two when they've released the PS5 version, all DLC and have patched it completely.

None of these deals are anything special and from what I can tell don’t differentiate from the sale that has been running the last couple of weeks

I am so addicted to AC Valhalla
