I'm enjoying Like a Dragon - currently on the final chapter. I've really only died during one battle in the entire game, although there were some definite challenging sections. I died in that battle like 3 times (the infamous chapter 12 difficulty spike). So that was surprising but I do love the game. Love the characters, love the side stories. It's my first Yakuza game.
I think PS Plus offers good value and I'm not necessarily suggesting they need to do anything, although continually providing great games is a bonus. Side note for the conversation if PSNow gets added - when a game is on PSNow, for goodness sakes, make sure we get the PS5 version when applicable. I feel like that's kinda embarrassing when the other platform gets that but we don't. I.E. Avengers should allow a free upgrade to PS5 since it's offered for people who own it on PS4. If there's an upcharge already, that can be up for discussion, but free upgrades should be applied to PSNow.
Also on topic, they did a test run a while back of a 3(dps)-2(healer)-1(tank) composition in experimental. The tanks all had some different abilities to let them solo tank and honestly it was a lot more fun than expected. I’d say give the 2-2-1 a try or at least wait for impressions/reviews.
@Legacy2K definitely not a dead game. I’ve been playing it semi regularly and I never have any problems finding a match. I’d say the last year has been the roughest as the team is really focusing on Overwatch 2.
Winston is one of the characters they’ve already showed tweaks for. Sounds like he has an alt fire that lets him charge and shoot a laser projectile. I’m sure a lot of heroes are being tweaked for this change.
@Jaz007 while I prefer role queue, I do want to point out there is quick play classic and open queue ranked which gives you the original 6 v 6 pick whoever experience. Not sure what’ll be on the next game but I’d assume it’s the same since Overwatch 1 will follow suit.
Only reason I’m not buying is because I have a deal with a friend where we both buy different games and then trade to save money. He’s the one buying Ratchet (and more recently Miles Morales) and I bought Returnal (and Demon Souls). I’m definitely sold on the game though.
@Mega-Gazz I understand the sentiment and definitely wait - but there’s no way it could’ve been dlc. So many core things were fundamentally changed throughout that it would require a new playthrough. It’s not some extra section of the game that was added that you can visit later in the game. Especially since the game is on a calendar system.
My friend invited me to play It Takes Two with him. We’re a few chapters in but I can’t believe how much fun I’m having with it. It’s seriously really, really good 😁
@Olmaz I’m glad people have different opinions, but the God of War trilogy always just seemed like ok games. I feel like God of war 2018 brought it from good to amazing, and it also wouldn’t have been the same game if Kratos hadn’t been reflecting on past games, so I’m really glad it wasn’t a new ip
@BranJ0 I personally think 2 has the worst story in the trilogy. I think the gameplay in 3 is better, with much more open environments. 3 is also the culmination of your efforts across multiple games, sort of like infinity war/end game if you watch marvel movies. 3 was incredible except for the last five minutes, which I describe as more confusing than awful. It was a poor decision on their part. I’ve never played 3’s dlc.
@themcnoisy @Quintumply thanks! I’m planning on checking out Dreams soon but hadn’t made the leap yet 😅 in the future I mainly wanna try my hand at making music
So excited about this! I had been looking to buy concrete genie so that’s a win. I’m excited to play destruction all stars for free - and I gave up on control halfway through, so excited that I could always give that another try on PS5 😅
Had a lot of fun playing with one friend last night while the rest wait to purchase. We had several instances of online issues, mainly in the shopping district of the first stage. We would become separate where it was like we were playing on two different servers with the other person seemingly attacking no one and vice versa. Both of us have pretty strong internet connection so I’m not sure what happened.
Also, there is a slight lag for whoever isn’t the host. It wasn’t anything too awful for the most part. Although at times it kept me from reviving successfully
Just beat Cyberpunk this week, and also the main game of Cadence of Hyrule yesterday. Just started Miles Morales last night and also played a bit of Scott Pilgrim vs the world
This is awesome! I’ve wanted to play Greedfall for a while (I think it’s getting a PS5 version too - now I’m questioning whether that’ll be free). Shadow is a game I haven’t played that I might and it doesn't hurt to get a free ps5 game!
@daveofduncan to be fair, I haven’t had a single crash on my PS5 since launch until yesterday - had one about 2 hrs into the game. Thankfully the auto save only set me back like 45 seconds but I’d imagine if it happens every 2 hours to someone or during an important scene that it would be really annoying
@TheIdleCritic royal is superior in literally every way (except I didn’t personally prefer one tidbit of the ending). If you can afford it over free, I’d definitely recommend Royal
I play a good amount of them. Some (Dead By Daylight) have actually been games I’ve spent a lot of time with when I never would have considered buying. I definitely want to play Hollow Knight at some point.

@nomither6 I agree that it’s probably the best indoor map. I do like Raccoon City if that counts. But So bizarre.

Re: Housemarque Thanks Sony for Supporting the 'Very Risky' Returnal
@Otherbarry “the idea that it’s an arcade shooter is putting me off”
Housemarque make arcade shooters. That’s their specialty and what they want to make, so it probably wouldn’t be as good otherwise.

Well deserved. Persona 5 Royal is incredible. I’ve talked two of my friends into playing it and they absolutely loved it

Re: Sony Unsure if PS Plus Collection Will Expand with More Games
I don’t need it in the collection because I’ve beaten it, I’m just really surprised Horizon isn’t in there. Seems like kind of the odd one out
