@NEStalgia I totally understand your reluctance to drop that much money on what’s considered an “old game” especially after feeling burned in the past

You have no idea how badly I wanted to splurge on the Digital Deluxe Edition but after tax it would have come to $102!! However I don’t regret buying the standard edition because I’m able to experience Demons Souls for the first time in its best playable state possible, with a rejuvenated online community!! I’m just happy that for once my luxury purchase seems justified and couldn’t be happier with the experience so far

I also foresee TLOU2 being #1 and would be stoked for GoT stealing the top spot!!

@NEStalgia fair points, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve actually bought and played this version? Personally, after only experiencing a couple hours of the 2009 original and spending over 100 hours on this remake I can confidently say Demons Souls for PS5 feels like a modern Souls game, so much so I’m hard pressed to try the other “newer” games in the series because they could feel archaic compared to Bluepoints remake

This was my 1st Souls game and it quickly became my favorite PS5 experience so far!!

@Daleaf Demons Souls won’t be going on sale for a loooong time - over 100 hours in I can confidently say it’s the only true next gen game on PS5 right now.

@Th3solution I was going to rebuy TLoU2 but then realized there could be an “updated version” for sale by the time got around to playing it again. FFVII it is then.

@__jamiie so you don’t own a PS5 then? Fail to understand what contribution you could make to this discussion

Half of UK’s top sales are Switch games, the other half annual cycle garbage. What’s wrong with you blokes!?!

@Ralancian no thanks

Everyone complaining about price yet Valhalla is top selling game this month and it has $80-100 editions that I KNOW some of you picked up

Nope, I was smart enough not to buy it for consoles.

@Max2574 Valhalla is from the team that did Origins. Odyssey’s developers did Immortals Fenix Rising so she might enjoy that one more

I’m gonna stop checking PushSquare regularly and maybe in a month or two I’ll find interesting articles not focused on Cyberpunk or Valhalla

I love/ hate this game but more so disappointed in their lack of support (so far) with post launch updates or optimizations. There’s no reason a Game of the Year winner should be running 1440p/30fps on my PS5

I sold my Last of Us 2 edition Pro for $375 right before PS5 launched

Ubisoft wants you to blow through their games as quickly as possible so you can consume the next one - soulless, heartless, and predictable

Bet we won’t have to wait long for another Cyberpunk article though

@DualshockInfinit I’ve encountered zero bugs in my 23 hour playtime of Days Gone on PS5...it’s funny how people can experience different things huh?

@Voltan sounds like lazy journalism to me, ever heard of booting the game up and finding out the updates through gameplay?? Right off the bat I’ve noticed performance boosts, removal of popular glitches, and vastly improved network latency - but again Valhalla is the highest selling AssCreed so they cater to clicks

@suikoden of course not we get news of Assassins creed patches before hearing anything about Demons Souls new patch because you know which game gets more clicks? An Ubisoft one

This game really doesn’t deserve the spotlight right now it already flubbed the release and tanked CDPR’s reputation, the damage is done. Plus even when it all works the gameplay is still mediocre. Any further news in between the big patches necessary is just drama pieces at this point. Like Esquire but for gaming

What about the Demons Souls patch?? Did PushSquare forget about that game!?

Finishing my first platinum in Demon’s Souls!!

CyberPlunk down the drain

Any chance the pc community could do a no bug/ no glitch run of the game??

I thought Metacritic implemented a minimum 3 day grace period on reviews?? How are users reviewing it before critics

It’s amazing how CDPR was fully able and willing to sacrifice the goodwill & trust they’ve built over the years for a RECORD BREAKING payday, seems downright Shakespearean in its tragedy. And oddly fitting given the Cyberpunk world of corruption and greed.

@__jamiie if only it was that simple - Nintendo carved its own niche market with rabid fanboys who buy multiple pieces of hardware, Sony has carved its own path as a premium experience with games made for adults, and Microsoft has the gamepass/ streaming market cornered. They all exist in their own lane, so try comparing sales again and see how foolish you look

I’ve played all of Ubisoft’s Xmas releases on Uplay+ and this was the most uninspired of the lot, thank goodness I only paid $15 for the month!

I for one can’t wait until the conversation moves onto more interesting games!!

@Xiovanni and yet no matter how many Yakuza titles they throw in Gamepass Japan isn’t interested in Xbox, the numbers show.

@Bazooka you just named a bunch of regions known for their investment in cell phone games LOL of course they aren’t buying premium priced consoles!!!

@Snick27 absolutely, just like total PS4 sales included slims and Pro models

It’s also double the price of a Switch. Gotta love sales comparisons when they never take price of admission into account

91 Metacritic

8 Million preorders

Too late for these articles PushSquare you’ve been guilty overly hyping this game too

CyberBugs 2077 of ‘em

Gaming - an industry that releases products which almost always get BETTER with age, ironically sells 8 million PRE-ORDERS

Movies, music, there’s no other entertainment industry where the products we invest in improve with future updates! Yet we don’t “pre-spend” in any of those industries like we do in gaming! It’s highly amusing

Honest question to my fellow gamers out there, was it worth it? We’ve all waited patiently for Cyberpunk but is this the way the games meant to be played?? As much as I love our industry it’s clear how easily swayed by hype and media we are as a consumer base. The sales numbers were always going to be HIGH for such a hotly anticipated game, but at what point do we relinquish control of our common sense and wallets to support a clearly rushed product. Cyberpunk would have been even better with more time in the oven, as all games would be. However this particular game NEEDED to leave a proper first impression. Just my opinion

It is abhorrently irresponsible of reviewers to recommend buying this game in its current state, the Metacritic is sitting at 91 - that’s almost 10 points higher than Ghost of Tsushima, a potential game of the year!! Yet when Ghost releases it was FINISHED and virtually BUG FREE

@Makina Phil Spencer... the most trustworthy and reliable mouthpiece for Xbox? Yea, didn’t catch that. I was referring to Aaron Greenberg’s most recent statement to “temper expectations”

Meanwhile Xbox marketing threw a huge bucket of ice on Xbox fans spreading rumors of potential announcements

Imagine all of the franchises R* could be working on under their illustrious portfolios, now scrap all that imagination for THIS! No way we’re getting anything other than more GTA/ Read Dead online content in foreseeable future

@nessisonett are you even old enough to remember that!?

@Inosuke72 Warner Bros has at least 2 new games coming out next year why is this such a problem!?!

@get2sammyb in other words, NO he’s not free. Costs real money to buy “in game credits” although I’ve never heard em called that. They’re V-bucks

How would this make us like Fortnite exactly? Pretty sure some people like me don’t play it for the exact reasons why this skin exists... shameless soulless cash grab tugging at our pop culture nostalgia or love for actual good games that aren’t this! To end on a positive note Fortnite keeps the kiddos and strange adults who play it off the games I enjoy playing online...

I’m only interested if they add a Craig skin!

Love the game but absolutely hate the marketing

Ubisoft has got to be one of the most successful mediocre studio’s out there

1st Souls game for me aside from couple hours playing Bloodborne & I’m hooked!! Looking forward to checking out Sekiro and others after this

Looks like the people have spoken!

Fortnite is the BEST thing to happen to gaming... frees up servers on my favorite games because all the kids are playing Fortnite! Leaves more mature online games to the adults
