And the games keep on coming... Day 1, this is amazing.

Early 2024 is like a PS5 stress test 😅

This level blew me away. Finished the game - and easily my new GOTY.

Creative director Sam Lake and game director Kyle Rowley are brilliant. Can not wait for the 3 story expansions.

Great hardware, amazing game library with tons of 3rd party support and Spiderman 2 as the bonus cherry on top.

Not surprising it is selling.

Hopefully by the time I get a Legion GO next year Sony would have updated the PC App to recognize any controller.

I can always dream. Wasted opportunity not to support all the PC handhelds already out there.

Games, games and more games. Love it so far

I care about and play more 3rd party games in a Generation than Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft 1st party release roster combined. What sells consoles to me is that I have access to the largest pool of games possible. 1st party are an extra bonus.

Why my rule has Always been to invest in a Playstation fist each generation. Sony understands how to make solid gaming hardware (Wish they go into the PC VGA premium market now that EVGA is gone)

Sony proved the rule correct yet again. Year 3, and already amazing support from every studio and top IP I care about.

PC and Steamdeck weekend. PS5 taking well deserved break after my SM2 binge

1. PC: Alan Wake 2
2. PC (Game Pass) Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
3. PC/SteamDeck: Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn Expansion

Nope, super happy with my launch PS5.

Never been a fan of the design so I keep it hidden behind my TV. Slim or not, cant see it anyway

All my gaming budget is going towards buying games.

I was going to wait but saw it was on PC GamePass. I thought we were not getting it (only console)

I'll try it out this weekend.

But Alan Wake 2 and Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn is all I have time for right now.

Nice for people on the fence.

I never upgrade consoles mid generation. Preorder at launch and ride the full life span on that one.

And with so many games I want to play, not the time to spend money on new hardware just for size and thermal.

Looks nice. But my next handheld is a Legion GO next year.

Love my Steamdeck but really missing out not having access to GamePass on a handheld.

Regarles if this for streaming or a Steamdeck or the Ally /Legion GO for GamePass - the handheld market is simply amazing right now if you travel for work like me.

Not being stuck having to pick between awful Nintendo hardware or a 6Lb gaming laptop is a dream come true.

Amazing. Loved the game.

But more importantly - it was 1 of many great games on my list I played. Beauty of Playstation is that these 1st party are gravy on top of on an amazing 3rd party releases schedule.

Nice. It is an expansion so always only expected more story content. Loved the main game.

I have a work trip next week, so I guess I just found my SteamDeck game.

Great review, thanks

After I am done with Alan Wake 2 it is either this or Avatar.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
Persona 5 Tactica
Avatar Frontier

But Playing Tactica on PC GamePass and Avatar on PC UBI+... need to save some cash.

Not surprised

It always was you could come back after missing a few DLCs and pick up where you left off (like FF14)

But last time I came back I had no idea what was happening. Past Season and expansion story content were gone.

I ended up in the middle of a season, with content I could not play even after buying the DLC. And a bunch of items in my safe from seasons I could have played but no longer available.

They need a hard reset.

Just finished the Story content in SM2 over the weekend. Fantastic game.

Even the art in the credits are amazing. Its like they took every chance to show off their talent.

I would look at the earbuds if in the market for one. That said, non of mine have ever cost me more than $50.

Yeah, tag team with SM2

Big Remedy fan, and they delivered again.

Woot!... 500. Congratz.

1. Spiderman 2 (PS5)
2. Alan Wake 2 (PC)

"Maybe, algo con Brillo".... ✨🕷🕸😂

Hahaha, even in random little things Spiderman 2 is simply amazing.

Right now, 9 easy.

Character, story, acting, world, gameplay... it is all there and not only "fun to play" but they also had the time to make it look fantastic on my 4KTV

They gave me the full package for my cash.

Wow, It is one amazing game after another. Love it!

Big fan of Remedy.

Looks fantastic.

No desire to play it again. But sure makes me excited for UE5 games.

This is so Day 1.

I really need it to run on my Steamdeck. This insanity would be perfect at the hotel after an awful workday on the road 🤣

I do not think so. Playing it on 120/VRR and it has been solid.

I have the disc so was concerned about having issue installing it. But it zipped by 35% and installed with no problems first try.

I am surprise they have 135 people.

Honestly, if in a studio that has Dreams and Tearaway as recent output I would have been working on my resume/portfolio.

Hopefully they land somewhere else.

Oh wow. On my list, just not had time to play it

Great game. Insomniac deserves it with what they have made

We have had an amazing bunch of games back to back. It has been a dream of a year for me.

This is simply the latest high note.

Did not care about Assassin's Creed Mirage.

"Back-to-basics approach" that basically translated to dated game mechanics and story telling - not something I have any nostalgia for.

Hopefully this gets back to what made me care again for AC with the last few modern games. That Art is a good start.

Not surprised. It is a fantastic game.

Narrative, characters, world, gameplay, voice acting, soundtrack... it is all in the package. They did a great job.

FF16, Starfield, Phantom Liberty, Baldur's Gate 3, SM2. These are the digital experiences that keep me in gaming. At this point, mindlessly running forward in a Crayola 2D world and jumping to collect stuff is simply not enough.

Worth every penny so far.

2 tickets to go see Manet/Degas at the MET last weekend was $60 and we did not stay for 20 hrs.

If you want to have tons of fun while also watching amazing Digital Art in motion. This is an easy buy.

1. Spider-Man 2

Having a blast. Fun game, with a narrative that also looks fantastic! Now this is the full package I am happy to pay for.

Sony has another gem here.

Very nice. It looks even better in motion. Great to see studios pushing things forward.

Fun and Stunning, that is what I expect for my money.

Amazing... Love it.

The amount of raw artistic talent over at Sony is mind blowing.

Yeah!... A bit before work, already blown away. Hype is real.

Forecast here is rain all weekend. Perfect timing 😅

Nope...

Same way I did not buy a Switch OLED or a PS4 Pro or a 3080 12GB.... They all get 1 purchase each generation.

@nomither6

Yeah. Hard sell to go from an epic like Starfield (and Phantom Liberty) to playing a 2D Mario.

I bought Spider Man 2 - but have Mario Wonder on my rental list at GameFly. I'll check it out when they get around to shipping it.

Not surprised. Starfield was Day 1 for me, and Loved it. Played it on PC Game Pass so I do not count as a sale - makes #1 even more impressive.

I did pay for the upgrade. Playing it for $10 seemed criminal, even if legal.

But that does not change the fact that the PS5 is the best console right now. You buy a PS5 first... and go from there.

I never had a doubt. Cant wait.

Games, games and more game... and not only great games but also look beautiful thanks to great hardware.

Goes to show that zero excuse not to have both.

I rented Calisto Protocol and enjoyed it.

Well worth a try.

Yeah... loving it. They built such an amazing world. I'll come back as many times as they expand it.

Nice. I sold my copy after the expansion.

I'll get it at some point on PC for my collection to keep. I already have ZD on steam. Finished all of it so not in a rush (great game!!!)

Hopefully runs as well on Steam Deck as Zero Dawn did.

Amazing, thanks!

Starfield, Lies of P, Phantom Liberty... in gaming heaven😊

So excited for this. Loved Arise.

Great news for me just keeps on dropping this year. One game after another.

Played the Beta Test on PC with my cousin and it sold us on it. Got into the control and upgrade mechanics easily

We will be there on launch for sure.

I usually support EA Originals

It takes 2, Lost in Random, Unravel 1-2 and Sea of Solitude are all in my collection.

I completely forgot this was out. I think I also confused it with another game that came out on GamePass recently.

Simply amazing. My game after I am done with Starfield.

Type of games that keep me in gaming. Good times.

Nice review, Thanks

Starfield, Lies of P, Phantom Liberty... September launch line-up was built for me 😀

Sounds great. Already pre-ordered. Remedy is one of my fav developers.

But Digital only games I only buy for PC. Reason I have a console is for the option of Renting or Selling my full price Day 1 games. Consoles loose value if not an option. How I keep cost down.

If paying full price for digital, rather keep it on PC and not risk Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft deciding if get to keep my collection or not.

Nice. Receiver, TV, Earbuds are all Dolby Atmos.

I had to pay $15 to enable Dolby Atmos on my Gaming PC so it would take advantage of my Livingroom set up. Free update is good on PS5.

Going from Starfield to Phantom Liberty is simply gaming bliss for me. Game release schedule has been fantastic this year. Cant wait

I for one loved the game on PC. Never drank the cool-aid that it would actually run on a PS4.
