@andreoni79 I still have Dishonored 2 in my backlog (and Prey too), and playing this makes me real stoked to finally play those. The studio is truly great. Depending on what they keep putting out, it might push me over the edge to get a Series X (although probably at the end of the generation). Their games are just so unique.
I was waiting on the Metacritic score before pre-ordering (to get that sweet sweet PS+ discount), and MAN OH MAN this is a good looking game. I've only been able to play a bit this morning before work, but it makes me genuinely sooo excited for other games that are built specifically for PS5 / that don't have a PS4 version. I'm sure GOW and HFW will both look great still, but the NEXT one, without having to consider the PS4, are going to look absolutely out of hand.
Am I the only one that really, reeeeeeally wants to like these games, but they've just not clicked with them? I LOVE both of "The Last of Us", but even after playing all of Uncharted (minus Lost Legacy) it just didn't hit me. I think it may be because there's no element of leveling up or crafting? All that being said though, I'll always checkout what Naughty Dog releases!
I thought Far Cry 4 was fine, but man oh man I couldn't make it more than half way through Far Cry 5. I ended up finding it too samey for my enjoyment. The first few hours were fine, but the game ultimately did not hook me.
Very excited for this game, but it seems wildly short and same-y for the price. I know the new Ratchet and Clank was short too, but the diversity of worlds and overall gameplay made that price worth it to me. Deathloop seems almost like a less creative Dishonored. I'll pick it up once it goes on sale / added to PS+.
@fR_eeBritney dang! That's a bummer to hear. I'm not sure what it was like for others, but for me it really just like...felt incredible. I was instantly sucked in.
I entirely agree with this. I LOVE film directors cuts, but a "directors cut" is 100%, inarguably, not what these PS5 games are. I wish they would've used different terminology for sure. A rare miss for Sony though.
This whole thing has been needlessly, needlessly confusing. I feel really bad for the team that's making this. Whoever is running marketing for them dropped the ball to the extreme.
The fact that the Marvel movie franchise is (I think) literally the biggest, most profitable, franchise ever, and for this game to be so terrible…it’s just genuinely disappointing. I have seen every, single Marvel movie in theaters and the only way I would ever play this game is if it were free.
I feel bad in the sense that...I know a lot of people worked really hard to put E3 together. My opinion is not a knock on those people or their work, but I entirely agree. The industry does not need E3.
It seems I'm in the minority, but I really, really enjoyed Geoff's program. I find him super authentic, and sincerely excited to talk about games. He's like the awesome third wave local coffee shop, and E3 is like Starbucks.
Still waiting for the option to just pay for the PS5 upgrade having redeemed it off PS+. Can’t believe people are paying a full price just to have an upgrade honestly.
I think it looks phenomenal, but I just can’t get into the characters. Barely made it through the PS5 upgrade of the old game, they just don’t do it for me. Super stoked for folks that are excited about it though!!! I’m sure it’ll be fantastic.
@Boucho11 I feel the total opposite Haha I thought Origins was boring beyond boring, but I loved Odyssey! I’m having a great time with Valhalla, buuuut yeah. It’s way to big.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.31 Includes PS5, PS4 Memory Optimisation, Yet More Bug Fixes
@Danloaded I bought it day one and felt like such a sucker for it. Also still waiting for the PS5 version to play it. Most likely 2022 unfortunately.

Re: PlayStation Showcase 2021: What Time Is Sony's Livestream?
Genuinely so stoked. 2022 is shaping up to be an absolutely bonkers year for gaming.

I thought Far Cry 4 was fine, but man oh man I couldn't make it more than half way through Far Cry 5. I ended up finding it too samey for my enjoyment. The first few hours were fine, but the game ultimately did not hook me.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal
The new Hitman series is entirely underrated! Unfortunately I already have 2, but I had a blast with it. Will gladly checkout the others.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Release Date Set for February 2022 on PS5, PS4
Unsurprised by this, but still surprised that Playstation is now almost certainly not going to have a summer / fall event.
Re: New Saints Row Game Is a Total Reboot on PS5, PS4 in February 2022
As someone who's never played this series, is there a main draw that sets it apart from GTA? Sort of looked to me as if it were GTA made by Ubisoft.
Re: Soapbox: Where's My Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version, Rockstar?
That would be FANTASTIC.
Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Runs at 60FPS on PS5 with New Patch
YEEEES!!!!! I just restarted my game and am only a few hours in. This is a fantastic surprise!!!!

Re: Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut (PS5) - Excellent Iki Island Expansion Adds to an Already Amazing Adventure
WOO so excited to dive into this.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Adds Free DLC, Very Long List of Updates, Fixes
@Korgon I’m hoping still 2021, but I doubt it.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Details Leave a Lot to Be Desired
$10 says the next gen update won’t launch until 2022.
Re: Abandoned App Patch Drops, Trailer Is the Same as Twitter Tease
@Voltan for sure. They’ve burned up most of the good will folks had about the project.
Re: PS5's Abandoned Trailer a No Show as Blue Box Cites Technical Issues
@Reeneman completely agreed.
Re: Far Cry 5 Is Free This Weekend, Full Game Heavily Discounted
I really liked the game, but couldn’t get past the back 50% - just ended up being too samey. Wish they’d just trim these down honestly lol
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
I mean….ehhhh….not excited about the lineup but I do hope others are!
Re: Random: Olympics Volley Ball Player Kelly Claes Loves Marvel's Spider-Man
Her teammate did not seem impressed hahahaha

@fR_eeBritney dang! That's a bummer to hear. I'm not sure what it was like for others, but for me it really just like...felt incredible. I was instantly sucked in.
Re: Hideo Kojima Isn't a Fan of Calling Death Stranding PS5 'Director's Cut'
I entirely agree with this. I LOVE film directors cuts, but a "directors cut" is 100%, inarguably, not what these PS5 games are. I wish they would've used different terminology for sure. A rare miss for Sony though.
Re: Abandoned Trailers App Can Be Pre-Loaded from 29th July on PS5, First Trailer Drops in August
This whole thing has been needlessly, needlessly confusing. I feel really bad for the team that's making this. Whoever is running marketing for them dropped the ball to the extreme.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Less Excited for Deathloop on PS5 Than I Should Be
I feel like they might be pushing the game so hard because the preorders are not doing the numbers they hope they were.
I think it’ll be really cool, but it seems very short (even shorter than Hitman). I’m absolutely going to buy it, but once it’s on sale.
Re: PS Store Weekend Offers Include Ubisoft Games, RPGs, and More
@Shepherd_Tallon honestly I found Outer Worlds incredibly boring. I had to stop playing it haha
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Stability 'Satisfactory', Says CDPR, More 'General' Improvements in Development
@vict0RGM this! They need to make ALL DLC free. It would go a long way to gain back trust.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Mario's Hole in One Forces Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart to Settle for Third
I genuinely do not understand how those half hearted Nintendo games keep selling so well.
Re: Marvel's Avengers Dev Urges PS5 Players Not to Stream Due to IP Being Displayed on Screen
The fact that the Marvel movie franchise is (I think) literally the biggest, most profitable, franchise ever, and for this game to be so terrible…it’s just genuinely disappointing. I have seen every, single Marvel movie in theaters and the only way I would ever play this game is if it were free.
Re: Great Co-Op Game It Takes Two Sells Two Million Copies
It is so, so great. Was happy to finally get to play a video game together with my wife!!!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.23 Out Now on PS5, PS4, Promises Yet More Crash Fixes Ahead of PS Store Return
$10 says the next gen versions won’t come out this year 🥺
Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy
I feel bad in the sense that...I know a lot of people worked really hard to put E3 together. My opinion is not a knock on those people or their work, but I entirely agree. The industry does not need E3.
It seems I'm in the minority, but I really, really enjoyed Geoff's program. I find him super authentic, and sincerely excited to talk about games. He's like the awesome third wave local coffee shop, and E3 is like Starbucks.
Re: DOOM Eternal PS5 Version Heads to Hell on 29th June
YUUUUS! I have yet to play this, so I am very, very excited.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Returning to the PlayStation Store, Supposedly
Waiting on the PS5 version before jumping in. I bought it (regrettably) on day one, and have yet to play a minute of it. lol
Re: Bethesda's Starfield Will Not Release on PS5, PS4
I am betting big that Elder Scrolls 6 is multi-platform. But new IP will continue to be exclusive to Xbox.
Re: Bethesda's Starfield Will Not Release on PS5, PS4
100% fine with this
Re: Talking Point: Did Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live Blow You Away?
I thought it was great! I’d rather see more him and less E3.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PS5 Download Size Is Still Huge
Still waiting for the option to just pay for the PS5 upgrade having redeemed it off PS+. Can’t believe people are paying a full price just to have an upgrade honestly.
Re: Days of Play Sale PS5, PS4 Deals - All Discounts on PS5 Games, PS4 Games, and Accessories
Waiting on a deal to stack on for PS+
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Gets Loads of Glorious PS5 Screenshots, Stunning Key Art
Sooo excited to play this for the first time!!!! Waited for the upgrade.
Re: Hands On: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Is a Massive Upgrade That Plays Better Than Ever
I have never played any of these before!!! Super stoked to jump in.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Resident Evil Village?
Love RE games, but they’re too short for me to buy at full price. Will absolutely pickup once it’s on sale though.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?
I think it looks phenomenal, but I just can’t get into the characters. Barely made it through the PS5 upgrade of the old game, they just don’t do it for me. Super stoked for folks that are excited about it though!!! I’m sure it’ll be fantastic.
Re: Sony on PS5 Stock: Don't Expect a 'Drastic' Supply Increase This Year
I still genuinely can’t believe I snagged one.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Patch 1.2.1 Out Tomorrow on PS5, PS4, Adds New Skills, Option to Disable Cinematic Finishers
Mmmm maybe have to dive back in this weekend to finish the main campaign. Currently at hour 143 and just felt a bit fatigued by it all.
Re: MCU Skins in Marvel's Avengers Leak Online
I love, love, love the Marvel Universe, but this game still seems like utter trash compared to what it could’ve been / should’ve been.
Re: New Assassin's Creed Valhalla Wrath of the Druids Screenshots Show a... Werewolf?
@Boucho11 I feel the total opposite Haha I thought Origins was boring beyond boring, but I loved Odyssey! I’m having a great time with Valhalla, buuuut yeah. It’s way to big.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.21 Out Now on PS5, PS4, Features More Crash and Bug Fixes
Still waiting for that PS5 upgrade.
Re: The Last of Us Is Getting a PS5 Remake Eight Years After Release, Claims Report
@Enigk Nintendo pulls this ***** allllllll the time though hahahaha
Re: The Last of Us Is Getting a PS5 Remake Eight Years After Release, Claims Report
@Athrum agreed on both points. Totally not needed, but I would totally buy it.
