While I can see the unfinished game argument, in most instances it take MONTHS or longer to improve. PA have shown that feedback can and should be implemented quickly. Puts Ubisoft Capcom(MH Wilds) and CD Project Red to shame for how long they took.

EDIT: The Oblivion Remaster STILL hasn't been properly fixed and it's been about a year since that launched!

Surprise, Surprise I've been playing more Crimson Desert! These weekly patches/content updates are a good way to keep interest in the game going. Enjoying my time and taking my time with the game. And yes I'm still in Hernand.

Have a great gaming weekend Greymanes of PushSquare!

Waiting for the official casting of Let Me Solo Her.

Approaching 40 hrs I'm Crimson Desert and still in CH 4 Hernand. With weekly patches improving the game this possibly could be GOTY after all.

Enjoy the long gaming weekend Everyone 😎

More Crimson Desert for me. Still in chapter 3 and taking my sweet time 😌

Have a great weekend all!

This is INSANE! This gaming generation is over cause who's buying anymore consoles at these prices. GGs

Epic blaming "console sales" when UE5 is actively pushing people away from consoles games is laughable!

Can confirm that movement WAAAY more responsive post-patch. Hopefully they can keep patching and improve base PS5 performance too.

It's Crimson Desert for me. Definitely not as good looking on base PS5 but it's playable in Performance mode. Hoping they patch it up and improve the visuals a tad. The game is definitely slow to begin, very KCD 2 like but I'll stick with it. Hope you all have a great weekend no matter what you're playing!

@RomanRiz I had this same issue in Quality mode on base PS5 but NOT in Performance mode. Performance mode actually looks better. I think it's an issue with the FSR3 upscaling that's being used in Quality mode. It's weird.

This will never sit right with me, only providing PC review codes. Makes it look like they're hiding something, even if they're not.

Was expecting more like 50 trophies given the size of the game but ok.

After 116 enjoyable hour of Octopath Traveler 0 i jumped into AC Unity to check out the 60fps patch and started enjoy it. But then I teamed up with friend to play Ghost of Yotei Legends which is great fun! And I'm probably going to Buy Crimson Desert next week so I've got more gaming going on than I know what to do with.

Have a similarly great gaming weekend people!

I'm just about sold on it. I think it's different enough from what people are expecting that it will be memorable. Will it be the next Elden Ring though?

@Areus Excellent point! Team Asobi did wonders for themselves and the brand.

I really hope for a return of Gravity Rush in some form involving Toyama.

@Areus I remember hearing that as well. I can understand not wanting to "go full mainstream" and make smaller horror titles but then they have to be good. Just seems like he fumbled a good opportunity. Some of these devs thought they would be the next Kojima but turned out to be the next Inafune.

Also I wanted Gravity Rush 3 so badly 😭

I know its cool to blame the big Corp for most things but you can't convince me that these guys knew better than Playstation management. Both Toyama and Ueda have not made anything you can call a true success when compared to their work at Japan Studios. If these were the games they were pitching, I can understand why they were turned down.

@RoomWithaMoose Yes, I mean the demo. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things other than I would like to play it now. But SE going on about multiplatform strategies then making a demo exclusive for months is annoying.

@RoomWithaMoose Honestly after getting burned by the Triangle Strategy glazing ( played 30hrs of it when it dropped on PS5 and didn't enjoy it) I'm not buying into the previous Nintendo exclusive shadow-drop hype. What I'm more interested in/upset about is the Switch exclusive demo for The Adventures of Elliott. Another mysterious Nintendo exclusive from the " multiplatform" Square Enix.

The game looks great but I will probably have to play in the 30fps Quality mode on base PS5 cause those rare performance dips were kinda crazy. This might get fixed with the day one patch but who can say.

@trev666 That would be the Series S version. 😉

I'm playing Unity for the 1st time and I concur with @ShogunRok There is definitely an amazing game hidden under the jank. I'm very much enjoying my time with it though.

I'm ok with this. 1080p 60fps on base PS5 is acceptable.

After the 60fps patch released i bought AC Unity on sale and after a few hours I'm starting to have some fun with it! I'll keep playing it to provide some variety from Octopath Traveler 0 which I'm 113hrs into.

Have a great gaming weekend everyone!

@NorrinRadd Thanks! I'm going to keep playing later today. I hope to enjoy it as I like the setting. 😃

Welp I bought it last night and gave it a go. Then I remembered I don't really like stealth games 😐.

But I'll keep playing it. It will give me a nice break from Octopath till Crimson Desert reviews drop. Then I decide if I'm buying it or not.

Not surprised by the "drop off" compared to RE5 and RE 6 given that these are Physical discs sold. Digital purchases even in Japan have increased since 2012.

@tangyzesty Well I don't live where you live.

@tangyzesty For me I pre order games because physical disc don't make sense where I live (import tax + shipping time) so I buy all my game digitally. And I like playing on release day, i used to go to GameStop midnight releases all the time years back, so having a game preloaded is the next best thing.

DEFINITELY need to see base PS5 footage before I pre order. Seems review codes have gone out but ONLY ON PC 🚩🚩🚩
This has Cyberpunk 2077 written all over it but I hope I'm wrong.

A late Saturday for me this week, but I'm still playing Octopath Traveler 0 now 109hrs in and still not finished. I'm hoping I finish it in time for Crimson Desert on the 19th as it's looking more and more like it might run well enough on base PS5 for me to buy it.

Have a great one folks!

You guessed it, I'm 105 hours into Octopath traveler 0 and it's still not done. But it is still very engaging. Hope you all have fun gaming this weekend!

@johncalmc Why Coldplay catching strays?

I'm determined to finish Octopath Traveler 0! I'm 97 hours in and just completed the Bestower of Power arc.

The only good thing about this tactic (in general, not for Saros) is that performance issues should hopefully be highlighted before the general public buys a game. Doesn't really apply to 1st Party Playstation games though as they usually are highly optimized. I Kinda wish Crimson Desert would do this.

I'm a big Horizon fan and I'm not interested by this. The art style and the gameplay don't remind of Horizon at all. And brand new characters when there is a wealth of existing side characters that could have been used instead seems like a brain dead decision to me.

84 hrs and still enjoying Octopath Traveler 0 I have the Dragonquest 7 Reimagined demo installed but haven't gotten around to it. And it's Superbowl weekend, hope the Patriots lose. Have a great weekend gamers!

I'm about 50 or so hours in but paused to play Octopath Traveler 0. I'll start back up once the update comes out. Glad we finally are getting what should have been there at launch.

The way I'm far more interested in the NCSoft Mobile game than this is telling. GG fumbled this one.

People keep making the Zelda comparison but I see more shades of Star Ocean 2. Looks like a great time, might preorder it closer to June.

Loved the game and platinumed it. My person GOTY for 2025.

Tell me it won't be well optimized without telling me it won't be well optimized.

@themightyant Very true! Black Myth Wukong's performance targets made no sense. I hope Pearl Abyss don't go down that road.

Not a top quality month but to be honest I find it harder and harder to complain about the PS Plus games every month when game take so long to beat. It's not like I finished (or even started) ANY of the games from December or January so why be upset about a "bad month" when I cant even get to the previous month's games.

78hrs into Octopath Traveler 0 and no signs of stopping, save a brief jaunt into Cyradill. Will I ever finish this game?

Have a good weekend and stay warm gamers!

@LiamCroft Awesome! Hopefully it's soon. I usually gauge how good a game is by how long before release the review embargo lifts. If it the same day as launch 😬....

At work now so I can't watch till lunch but I'm very interested in this game and hope it lives up to the hype. Will have to wait for reviews just in case.

@LiamCroft Any idea on when the review embargo lifts?

@UltimateOtaku91 @Ashina 13 as a stand alone FF isn't as bad a people say. We don't talk about the other 2 or Stranger of Paradise...

WHERE IS MY SEQUEL TO WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY!!??
