To think that players are greeted with Horizon Forbidden West, God of War RagnarΓΆk, Gran Turismo 7, Elden Ring, Stray & others all in just a single year, I don't think we'll ever see PlayStation emulating this kind of output ever again.
Or maybe not in the nearest future. (Please prove me wrong PlayStation)
Even before Elden Ring launched, I knew it was going to get sidelined by God of War: RagnarΓΆk but now that Elden Ring is a phenomenon, it's really sad to see Guerrilla didn't get the recognition they truly deserved.
I liked Zero Dawn's story better but Forbidden West easily surpasses the OG in every other aspect. This game is definitely my #1!
Will we get a Horizon Forbidden West's DLC announcement? Couldn't care less if it doesn't win anything (RDR2 didn't win TGA'S GOTY), I just want more of it!
I'm not sure if it's said already but The Last of Us Part 2 has the best & most natural solution. An optional hint button appears if you take a certain time to complete the puzzle & characters will point it to you naturally.
If anyone here is wondering what those symbols are representing, it's popular Malaysian cuisine. There's Satay, Ketupat, Muruku, Nasi Lemak, Otak-otak, Dodol, Lemang, Curry Puff, Kuih Lapis, Kuih Seri Muka, Kuih Loyang, etc. π
@Kang81 I've clocked in almost 200 hours on my dusty base PS4 & most of the bugs I've encountered at launch were minor with the most distracting one being texture pop-ins but they were mostly minimal.
I'm currently seeing even fewer bugs after tons of patches.
@Milktastrophe Maybe they could have sold more than 20 million copies for HZD? Or maybe it was Sony's plan all along trying out a new marketing strategy? I mean, they do get people talking about the game, twice!
@MFTWrecks @Milktastrophe I'm no expert here but my guess is they'll want their games to be the only talk of the town & have no one to compete but themselves, maximising their revenues.
I'm pretty sure both Elden Ring & Horizon Forbidden West could have maximised their revenue had their launch windows been further apart. The same goes for HZD & BOTW even if they're on completely different platforms. Oh, my poor Horizon.
@MFTWrecks The PS5 already has a limited support for the DualShock 4 let alone an Xbox Adaptive Controller. I say it would never happen. They'll come up with their own take if it comes to it.

Guerrilla only gets an honourable mention even though DF was singing praises for them & Santa Monica isn't mentioned at all?
Booooo!
Re: Game of the Year: John's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2022
Finally, Horizon Forbidden West is in a top 5 list from the folks at Push Square. I'm starting to think y'all secretly hate this game or something.
Re: Both Moss Games Receiving PSVR2 Versions, Out on Launch Day
@get2sammyb So no paid upgrade path? Just a standalone PSVR2 game?

Re: PS Store Sales Charts: PS Plus Extra Makes Stray July's Most Downloaded PS5, PS4 Game
I feel guilty for using my 7-day free trial to platinum Stray on my PS4. It's a good game, the devs certainly deserved it.
Maybe I'll buy it when it goes on sale.

Re: Sony Purchase Allows Haven Studios to Achieve Its Ambitions, New IP Will Be 'Innovative'
@ScepticDK The swarm part was what made the game okay for me. Every other aspect of Days Gone felt bland, boring & generic.
Though I wasn't a fan of TLOU2's story either, at least ND nailed the gameplay part & everything else. Definitely worth it's $60 price tag at launch.
Re: Killzone Shadow Fall Standalone Co-Op Mode Leaving PS Plus Extra
@get2sammyb Could it have been a glitch given that no date was given when the title leaves?
I never heard of first-party content leaving their own subscription service unless the servers are about to go offline.
Re: Sony Purchase Allows Haven Studios to Achieve Its Ambitions, New IP Will Be 'Innovative'
@ScepticDK "Incredible Days Gone"? It was okay at best even for a heavily discounted game a couple of years after launch.

Re: Best Open World Games on PS5
@BadPlayerOne I clocked in at 180+ hours in one single playthrough. Easily the longest I've spent in a single-player game.
RDR2 is the best that I've played but HFW is a close second.
Re: Best Open World Games on PS5
I respectfully disagree. Both Horizon Forbidden West & Miles Morales should be higher on the list.
