@windxtravelerx performance has been great for me, I play on quality and as much as it's not maintaining the high framerate it's absolutely not unplayable. From what I've spent in performance mode it's smoother and still looks fine, I just really like the lighting in quality mode.
I'd go with an 8, it's a great time and is still bringing me back, but I wish the campaign was longer and I have no interest in PVP so that doesn't give it any bonus points from me. Can't argue with the quality of what's there though.
Probably wouldn't have played Plucky Squire otherwise, but as it's on Extra I'll give it a go. I try and at least put some time into all of them that might interest me, but there's not a lot jumping out at me this month.
Just finished the Space Marine 2 campaign so going to jump into some of the multiplayer, and inevitably continue my NG+ run of Elden Ring, just beat Radahn so off to Nokron.
I never really put much time into Motorfest (apart from a bit with the trial version), loved The Crew 2 but long since finished with it, perhaps with such positivity from people and a massive update it's time to dive in.
@J2theEzzo i was running strength/faith myself and he was a complete brick wall for me, couldn't get through so had to respec, but more power to you if you can manage to get through with that build.
I had to resort to a cheese shield'n'poke build first time round, just to get through it. On NG+ in the base game now so will see if it makes a difference when I get back there, but that won't be for a while.
I love this live service article, with all the comments it's a constantly evolving landscape and will keep us all coming back for more. How do I sign up for the battle pass?
@vrubayka Agreed, I'm all for AI making the everyday jobs easier, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for creativity and expression. It worries me already that I can't tell if something's AI or not in some cases.
It seems to me we need video game devs & publishers who respect the art of voice acting (and much more besides) and the people who make it more than they want to take the easy route and save a pretty penny. Business eh, this is going to create an even larger rift between those with integrity and those with an eye solely for money.
@ShogunRok Agreed on the music, it's one of a few games I've actually got the soundtrack from a few games ago (Accent Core Plus I think) on CD and still give it a listen every now and then.
@Elodin @AFCC bought it at launch, got rid a few days later. The combat is great, and the feel of the 3 different character 'modes' is cool, but it's very much a typical mid-range RPG that, personally, is still too expensive for what you get. It's also exceptionally short with little to no replay value.

I've just gone and got myself a PS Portal ordered, will see how much more this version is and may warrant a replacement.

Re: Jennifer Hale Says AI Is Coming for All of Us
@PSme damn straight, Springer's been my favourite character since I first saw the original film. WRECK AND RULE!
