@Hyperluminal I see your point now and somewhat agree, but would add that multiplayer and games as a service fit more into the category of “buy now or get lost in the abyss” than something like Rachet & Clank
@Ear_wiG I keep seeing people suggest this but that logic doesn’t sit well with me, Sony would be selling MORE copies of Rachet the sooner it gets released, not less. Waiting to release the game when there’s “more PS5’s in the wild” ensures that the people who would buy it NOW (like me) could potentially miss out when it does release. On flip side, releasing it now means everyone who has a PS5 will no doubt buy the game to be included in hype and anyone who doesn’t have a PS5 will be looking to get the game as soon as they have the system!
It’s almost like releasing AAA game’s during this pandemic is a sure fire sales hit, even if the game is unfinished, under delivers, or just plain sucks.
This game glitched out during the first mission and haven’t been able to progress without starting a new game. Needless to say it’s no longer taking up space on my hard drive
Loving the hunt for trophies with my new PS5 games however probably won’t finish Miles Morales a 2nd time anytime soon because you can’t skip cutscenes! This is inexcusable for modern AAA!! Especially in “new game+” mode
@Gaming365247 agreed. My backlog is practically finished now that lockdown has lasted so long, to the point where I finally started the Soulsborne series - that’s when you know I’m desperate for entertainment!!
I was personally more excited for Tsushima than Last of Us 2 but fell off after like 20 hours roaming the open world and completing random missions, it felt too repetitive, albeit gorgeous & tranquilly repetitive - ended up spending most my time playing Legends mode
@BrainHacker I cancelled GamePass after seeing their paltry PC offerings and felt betrayed because nobody talks about gamepass on pc when they discuss it’s “amazing library”
@Gaming365247 I read a comment on YouTube that definitely wasn’t a fanboy and it said “The Medium is more technically ambitious using ssd for dual worlds than Racket & Clank: Rift Apart”
Maybe it’s a legitimately ambitious project only possible on next gen. Maybe it’s nothing more than marketing hype.
@Jimmer-jammer aside from the bugs and technical issues Cyberpunk is unfinished in every other way, CDPR will be releasing updates and adding features that should have been in game or working to begin with. That’s why any self respecting gamer would wait, so they have time to FINISH their game and we can experience it the way it was meant to be.
@MightyDemon82 Good stuff!! Demons Souls was my 1st FromSoftware game & 1st platinum! Took roughly 70 hours. Now it’s time to start Dark Souls Remastered
@charbtronic I’m of the opinion the new God of War will be playable on PS4 as well so the foundation is already there and could absolutely be finished this year
@Old-Red $90!!?! Well okay then that change things. I couldn’t bring myself to pay $90 for Demons Souls Digital deluxe, nor did I pay 80 for Sackboy special edition, but I still bought their standard editions
@Old-Red price gouging isn’ta $10 increase and how did you pay 60 for Demons Souls? I don’t understand how you people think $70 is overpriced when you’ll spend that much on Vbucks or CoD points for a single season, or you’ll purchase $100+ Ubisoft special editions without batting an eye.
@jmac1686 Big Wallet Billy over here flexing his spending habits on digital nonexistent items that apparently have no bearing on the experience but felt compelled to pay for anyway! Bravo!! You have just been indoctrinated into the “played yourself” Hall of Fame
@JAMes-BroWWWn games like Sackboy or Demons Souls most likely won’t see discounts this soon, on top of the fact that they are selling digital deluxe versions - I went ahead and bought both instead of waiting
Dualsense is great! Id argue it’s over engineered a wee bit. I’m not usually the type to comment on this but the build quality overtime is concerning, I’ve noticed my buttons losing their “clickiness” and tactile feel, dpad and face buttons feel “squishy” after decent use

Re: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Gets New Gameplay Footage in Latest Dev Diary
@WizzNL sounds like you can’t afford next gen and should stick with PS4 until you save up enough money
Re: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Gets New Gameplay Footage in Latest Dev Diary
@StonyKL so a measly 10 dollar increase is where you’ll draw the line? The logic ceases to amaze me
