The PS5 as a platform is what makes it a powerhouse and the best generation yet. There are more good games to play on it than any other console in history, and it's an endless amount of quality & fun. I want good first party games, but I do not mind that they're coming slowly. I haven't even had time to get to Final Fantasy Rebirth, 16, Stellar Blade, & Rise of the Ronin, which I've heard amazing things about. Even the PlayStation Plus offerings have been great the past few months and I haven't had time for those either.
Damnnn man this is a top 10 game for me so I'm sad it's not a financial success for them, and that more people are playing it. If you're reading this and you're considering it, pull the trigger and buy it- this game is spectacular!
I'm feeling like I put extra points into Luck right now because I decided to pull the trigger and pick it up for $5 + $12 dlc. This decision is a pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L. way to mess with your consumers though haha . Sony should fix this
I feel like I can see better shadows, like the orange awning on the left. Better fog down the street to the right. Better textures of the overgrowth above the poweline across the street to the left. All this on my phone, so I bet I'll notice it more on my 4K TV
@pyrrhic_victory it let me buy it for $4.99 on the store, so I just bought it & the season pass so I don't have a headache tomorrow when it prompts me to buy the PS5 copy for $20 or some *****
Ok does anyone know if owning the PlayStation Plus copy will let me download the PS5 version tomorrow? Trying to determine if I buy the season pass AND the base game or just the season pass.
@LifeGirl I lived that normal. It does not ever need to return to that, and I would pay money rather than watch 5 minutes of ads for a 50 minute episode. However, I was already paying for no ads because prime video was ad-free. Now I need to pay more, and that's annoying. Did Amazon really need to eek out that little bit of money? Guess so... Sucks.
Three Dog is really a great character in Fallout 3. I think he's got the best radio station in the series and Dellins voiced him very well. Some parts of Fallout 3 are a little campy but Three Dog is legit
They really dropped the ball with the timing on the PS5 version of Fallout 4. They could've been getting money from a $30 PS5 ultimate edition bundle. They're gonna miss a couple weeks of interest
@breakneck I routinely see people comment that they won't buy a game because the trophy list is terrible or doesn't have a platinum. I'd bet at least a fraction of those commentors did plan to buy it and then do skip the purchase...
The first one is one of my favorite games of all time. There's a reason it won PC game of the year, it's superb. The second game was an upgrade in every aspect but gameplay. I found it lame. If they can go back to the first game's formula and add some spice it will be VERY welcome!
Based take. The thing is your teammates can be absolutely detrimental to you winning a match in a shooter, MOBA, etc, but you ought to stop complaining about it anyway. You cannot change it, so you should focus on what you can control- your own performance and consistency.
Let's stop feeling bad about ourselves and looking at the past with enough nostalgia to turn trash into treasure. Gaming is better now than ever before. The quality of games is better, the amount of experiences available are more, the volume of great titles is high. About Sony showcases I can feel the fatigue... I used to really look forward to E3 because I knew what I was getting. Some years were better than others, sure, but during that week I knew there would be a lot of marketing and hype to get me excited. Now I've forgotten about Sony showcases. They have been so few and far between, and the last one was such a disappointment. Now that I can't even look forward to Factions I'm not sure what the point is... :/
Consider for a moment all the rumors have been inaccurate. It would be so odd to be a dev working on this project and having the Internet gossip about the cancellation of what is consuming years of your life
It's a great deal now. EA play has quietly been massive value, as it gets nearly every EA release 1 year later. I was already going to sub for the GTA trilogy, and now RD1 & Bully just make it more enticing. I could have a very Rockstar summer...
Contrary to what some will claim, I would not have predicted that Sony and Microsoft would enter a relatively non-competitive relationship within my lifetime. I really wouldn't have thought this would happen until gamepass showed up.
On the other hand, I would love to platinum some Halo and Gears games. Old Splinter Cell games? Viva Pinata? Fallout 3/Oblivion remasters? Bring it on
The last time I opened Helldivers 2 it crashed within less than a second. I was honestly impressed because I've never seen a faster crash. I felt like I accidentally just decimated a speed run
Damn. Sold out. That's sad, because I desperately want to have a long term butress against my PS3 Les Paul I've had for like 16 years dying. The other one died years ago, but Rock Band 2 is one of my favorite games and I really connect with jamming out. It's my only outlet in that way because I'm no musician. Wait, does this one even work on PS3?
One of my top 5 wants has always been SSX Tricky playable on new hardware with trophies and so seeing a snowboarding game added to premium gets me hard. Hopefully the rumors are true and PS2 emulation is real...
The real tragedy here is GOW Ragnarok beating Last of Us Part 2 by 73% to 27% from 20k votes in the quarter final. Ragnarok is great, but it didn't take the risks part 2 did and it certainly isnt the better game in any way.
I assume Arrowhead's future project (if it's alongside or under Sony) will be a closely managed, and a high quality cultivated experience. This will probably be the biggest game released this year outside of annualized multiplayer titles, no? They're going to have a wide, positive reputation. I bet they'll use that to get great investment in their next endeavor.
