@dBackLash this is my biggest gripe with ps plus. The last few months we have seen a larger amount of good games leave vs added. I'm not too concerned about the shoddy games being added but they are taking away some real gems lately.
Loved the first game, but was very disappointed in the sequel. Graphics are superb, but its soooo shallow. Usually sequels expand a series, this felt like it went backwards.
Not new and interesting please, just classic and enjoyment. Can we get an underground game for goodness sake. Just make a new underground with unreal 5 and it will sell.
I'm ready to drop ps4 compatible versions of ps5 games. It's holding the current console back, look at what devs are saying how the series s is holding back releases for Xbox. Its time to move on from the ps4 guys, it had a good run. You will still have all the games and things which is a lot. I think this is a sign that ps4 support is beginning to end and I'm ready.
@Member_the_game its ridiculous given that the option to do that has been around for almost 2 decades. The worst is when its a story game or something and I reboot it after a year or so and wanna start again to understand that story or controls. Nope you have to pick up where you left off and be confused for hours. No thanks.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare first of all I am a therapist and find the mechanic fascinating. Second of all, its a mechanic where you can't use that soldier for a while cause they are getting treatment before they are well enough to go back in the field. Third of all, the army already does this with therapy and soldiers in combat. Its brief therapy for ptsd and trauma and then when they are able to function again enough to complete the mission they are sent out. Its cruel and wrong, but its the truth of how mental illness is handled in the military. I find the honesty of the mechanic interesting and well implemented. Fourth of all, its in a universe that sucks and its tough, plus its a game so chill.
@zhoont can agree with aliens. Its also a good tactical game for people who are not too big into the genre. I tell everyone who likes aliens to try it, and most of them were glad I did.
If you have any love for the aliens franchise you should try dark decent. I am not a strategy fan at all (have tried so many and probably like 10 percent of them), but that game is absolutely oozing with atmosphere and fan service. It's honestly one of the games I had the most fun with since baldurs gate 3. To all those that are saying it it is rubbish are not being too honest. If you don't like the franchise then maybe I can see that, but its top notch (your team gets ptsd and they have to see a psychiatrist before you can have them in combat, or welding of doors for a safe zone etc)
I am going to remain skeptical, but I do have some hope after the SH2 Remake because honestly that was on of the best games I played this year. Hopefully they learned a lot in that process. My hope is the bloober become the new Konami or Capcom with horror and we have another studio to get excited about.
@themightyant I'm hoping they take the silent hill 2 remake approach to increase play time and stuff. It all felt like it belonged in the game. Unlike ff7 remake (not rebirth) that felt soooo drawn out for no reason other than to make it worth $60
They are gonna use the smallest and most faint font possible for that information lol. It sucks cause we are like 10 years behind on laws in the digital realm.
This has been the best month in a while. I've been looking to try doki doki, and I only got half way on deadspace on game pass so may need to give it a go for October
Hulst needs to step down. This is insane. 400M for that turd of a game, yet any ask for a return of a beloved character gets pushed to the side. The ps5 pro price and all this other news makes me worried about Sony.
As others have said. I'm more concerned about the price of a PS6 at this rate. Gaming is one of my top hobbies, but I can't justify the price of gaming lately (especially when my other hobby is music and instruments are pricey too lol)
I literally just bought a brand new Pearl Roadshow drumkit with an extra cymbal pack and an extra pack of sticks and it came out to the same price as the PS5 Pro, and that's without the disk drive and stand lol.
This show was everything I wished the last of us tv show was. I enjoyed tlou TV show but it needed way more zombies, and atleast one creepy horror type episode. It was just lacking. Fallout was absolutely fun from start to finish.
One of my biggest disappointments. I loved the first game as it was fresh and finally a good superhero game in a while. I stopped playing 2 after around 8 or so hours cause I felt myself being bored the whole time. They need to work on their side mission stuff cause that is worse than ubisoft.
"Shocked Pikachu face". This is what companies do. I worked in corporate for 10 years and this comes as no surprise. I think after this merger the FTC really needs to step in. I mean look at the Embracer group and how they are destroying studios cause of their hunger for investments.
Was i watching the same trailer as everyone else? This needs so much work. Something just feels off. I hope they do a tonne of play testing to round out the rough edges.
@Blaze215 i have to agree with the elemental stuff. It felt weird to use some magic on certain enemies. I enjoyed ff16, but it did not feel like a final fantasy game.
What is naughty dog doing? They are starting to resemble a studio that would be under take2 or EA or something. I hope they are actually working on something decent.
Soulslikes are killing it this year: wo long, lies of p, lords of the fallen. Wo long = sekiro, lies of p = bloodborne, lords of the fallen = dark souls. There is something for everyone.
I am switch user and there is a lot of hate for BG3 cause it may take away GOTY from TOTK, and they ain't having it. I hope it runs well on the PS5 cause that is what I am getting it on.
This was the weirdest game for me. I am level 54 right now and I am totally addicted to the stupid fun. Many of the best moments happen once you hit like 15-20 games. I honestly was surprised when new modes and sequences would play out.
Not surprised as it is a great game, but I did find it a slog near the end and didn't appreciate the reuse of assets and bosses. I still prefer demon souls, bloodborne, and DS3.
I loved elden ring but felt it got stale near the end. They reused a lot of assets, enemies, and bosses and I feel like it took a little bit away from the experience. Great game, but I still prefer bloodborne, demon souls remake, and DS3 to it.
Sony needs a make over cause I don't know what is up with them lately. They really need to take a look in the mirror and figure out what they can do to start earning peoples trust. I am a huge sony fanboy but lately Microsoft is making them look weak.
Can't wait for the obligatory post by Sony saying "for some reason sales are down and people are spending less. We may need to shut some studios down to save costs"
To be honest, I havent bought a full priced game in about a year and all the games I have bought have been 50-60% off. I just can't justify the new price of games with inflation
