Sold, big fan of JSR.

Great games.

Forbidden West not as great as ZD, but still great game. Cant wait for the next part.

@Sequel

Same here. I have a Water Loop on mine so it is dead silent regardless what I am playing maxed out. But not getting that for $400 dollars... But yeah, the new $79 price for PS+ is nonsense.

Not surprised, loving Starfield so far. If you into Space and exploration, the game is a dream.

That said... there is still no Aloy or Kratos or Ellie or Drake or Morales. You are basically controlling a cardboard cut out as things happen around you (even JEDI and Mass Effect gave you more of a sense of being part of a crew you care about as a unit)

The Sony magic of creating a narrative around central characters that elevates a story/world beyond what it actually merits (SE nailed it also with FFXVI) is nowhere to be seen here.

Well let's see. Because last time Washington Heights and Inwood somehow do not exist in Marvel's Universe

NYC ends a few steps after Harlem O.O

Same as before

1. Starfield (PC Gamepass)
2. Armored Core (PS5)

Both are fantastic games.

Let me play for Starfield for $10 means I bought the Upgrade. So the Microsoft strategy actually worked this time.

That looks pretty nice.

I actually went to check if the controllers or cover were still available... 🤣 silly me.

@Northern_munkey

Even worse. Now not only dealing with Windows but also stepping in as tech support. No point in building a rig "just as powerful as a PS5" in my book

People complain about the PS5 size and design but now lets pretend some POS budget YouTube PC build is an option. End up with some Circa 1990 ATX Mid-Tower tub in the living room.

If PC budget is $400, buy a PS5.

You better paying $400 for a PS5 than for a $400 "Gaming PC" right now (usually a POS, especially with RT on)

Not worth dealing with Windows in that price segment. Just get a PS5.

I have it on PC.

But waiting to finish Armored Core and StarField to really dive in.

It is hard to keep up with all the great games on my PS5/PC list. A really great "problem" to have.

Starfield is a Great game. Enjoying it a lot. Also a few side missions ive done had a pretty fleshed out story. Not a simple fetch quest

Hogwarts is another fantastic game.. Glad it is doing well

Fantastic news. Any new story DLC is Day 1.

Loved FFXVI, anything they make that brings me back to the world and characters - I'll take.

Make the PC port SteamDeck verified, and I'll double dip.

1. Armored Core 6 (PS5)
2. Starfield (PC Gamepass)

Armored Core 6 (PS5) > StarField (PC) > Lies of P (PC) > SpiderMan 2 (PS5)

Some PC/PS5 tag team... Good times.

Chiaki is not great on Steamdeck (screen goes blank randomly)

I'll probably just get it. Wait until Bestbuy has it, I am sitting on tons of rewards points.

But I really would just want to use my Steamdeck for everything at this point. Rather Sony Just update the Windows app with SteamDeck support.

Never pay full price for a year of PS+ (Or GamePass)

Wait and see what the CDKeys sales look like during the holidays. Take it from there.

Easily high 8. Boss fights and tinkering are great . If a Mech fan, this is a dream come true.

I am fine if they want to make this. A BackBone is $99, you still need to use your own phone. And unfortunately most modern phones have the wrong aspect ratio these days.

But they should also release a Dedicated App for the SteamDeck and Ally

What can the profit margin on these be... Even if the sell the App I would pay for it for my Steamdeck.

Steamdeck and Ally are not tied to any store like Switch, Android or Apple. So they can sell it directly and 100% profit.

Finally. Day 1

This is one I will not care about reviews. Need to try it for myself.

Peal Abyss makes stunning games.

Main reason I tried Black Desert back in the day was because of how amazing it looked. This is on the radar.

Nope

I do not buy rehash of old games I already played - on any platform.

Save my cash for new games

PC is not "One platform" as developers need to account for a decade worth of hardware with all kids of specs.

With 4 separate companies developing MOBO/GPU drivers... and Microsoft developing the OS.

It can be PS or Xbox, fine with me. As long as not Nintendo. You just had to see the handheld market before Valve and Asus pulled it out of archaic land.

Away from home again this weekend. PS5 taking a break after FFXVI

1. F1 2023 (SteamDeck)
2. Monochrome: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten (SteamDeck)
3. Chorus (SteamDeck)

And its SteamDeck verified 😎

Well, keep buying rehash and publishers will keep going for the easy cash

People on Switch pay top dollar for ports that are worse than the PS4 original. So if an actual "direct port" would be an upgrade for what the system usually gets.

I do not buy games to play Digital Dress-up Barbie. So it is irrelevant if an option or not

Did not buy any cosmetics DLC in Origin, Atlantis or Valhalla. Had Tons of fun in all of them. It was optional.

That said... if someone else wants to buy all of the DLC and makes the game more fun. Go crazy, it is your hobby and cash.

I want to play games on my PS4 as much as i want to play them on my 1050Ti

Why they are sitting in my closet.

Traveling for work so stuck at hotels - PS5 gets a break

1. F1-23 (Steamdeck) Belgian GP weekend 🏁
2. Monochrome: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten (Steamdeck)

Finished FF16 now waiting for Armored Core VI.

Amazing. But not surprised.

It will always be about the games. And PS5 just has them... 1st party and 3rd Party.

And not random 2nd tier stuff... actual top line games. This is what makes it worth paying for new hardware.

He is so talented.

Cant wait for SpiderMan. Every time I see something new about this game it just makes me want it more.

I thought people did not want Studios to make the same games all the time.

I played Elden Ring because it was fun and kept me entertained. If AC6 does that also (same or differently)... Job well done.

They should just release a dedicated SteamDeck app and let the Windows version recognize the Ally built-in controller also

Missed opportunity. They could even charge for the App on Steam and people would buy it.

1. F1 2023
2. Back on Diablo

Finished FF16... and then called my Brother to say hello and have a chat - he is also a great big brother 😊

These are the type of games that keep me in gaming... Loved it!. SE Creepy guy design is fantastic, just him makes my ArtBook pre-order worth it.

My Wife said we should try and find the soundtrack on Vinyl. She is not a gamer - always amazing when she appreciates the talent in these games from a non gaming perspective.

I really hope there is some Story DLC.

On my list, see how it turns out. But Armored Core VI already eating up my Day 1 budget in August. Maybe on the GameFly list.

YES!, Day 1... not even done yet and can see so many story points that can be used as a basis for Story DLC.

World and characters are amazing... Expand!

Hope so... I'll take anything from them

Loved A Plague Tale: Requiem. These are the type of games that keep me in gaming.

Art direction/sound/acting were all brilliant.

Wait...

-Not every game is a cartoon?...
-You have wRPG and jRPG?....
-Both Nintendo and Sony exclusives?...
-Games with both Western and Japanese Pop culture icons?...
-Top 3rd party games, including ones that give Jobs to Digital Artist in the country I live in (Thank You 👍)...

Even looks like gamers play games on both 4K Home Consoles and Handheld hardware 🤯

Imagine that!

Oh wait... it is the UK chart not the Japanese one. Never mind, this is normal 😉

Anyway, Loving FF16. F1 2023 not up there anymore, but it is a blast! (needs PSVR2)

@wiiware I do the same thing.

Sometimes tired after work but stil want to play a bit - but not in the mood for anything major

I Just run all the side quests on the map. It is so well organized and easy to jump in.

1. FF16 (PS5)
2. F1 2023 (PC) British GP weekend! 🏁🏎️

No work travel for a bit so my Steamdeck gets a break. Just 4K gaming 24/7 😀👍

@KaijuKaiser

On PS5. Well PS4 sold another 12K (corrected 33K)

I played what basically was "Attack on Titan" boss fight in FF16. Cranked up the battle music, big smile on my face. Amazing!

Japan will be 9% of the PS5 base at best (just like PS4)... no need to cater to their taste.

Outside FF top 10 is all CARTOONS!... one is straight up a cartoon Digital Novel 🤦‍♂️

Hogwarts Legacy sold 31K, SF6 33K and Jedi 16K in week 1 in Japan. The market is monotone.

Nice review. On the list

But I moved these to me Steam Library after I got my SteamDeck. Got the Pre-order for $38 on PC.

Leave my PS5 for epic jRPGs like FF16, and these smaller ones for my commute.

Not into fighting games... but can see how this can keep it fresh.

Complain about 1 game having a battle pass, and then gloss over the other one that has $55 worth of it. Thankfully publishers seem to realize the market likes these refresh if done right.

There has been so much new content in general, great to see.

1. FF16 (ps5)
2. F1-23 (Steamdeck)

@TheArt

It is $15 on Steam right now. And I was talking about any new MH we get now will most likely be $70.

@Bentleyma

Well, tons of people like me who will play it one way or another.

I waited for the PC version, and I knew that was as good as it was going to get in the visual department. Like I said, it is fun... but Capcom has proven they can make fun and great looking games.

If they release an Upgrade Patch, I bet it will be a top download on Steam.

Was an 8 1/4 way in. But then it exploded (characters, story, world)... 9 easy.

And that is with me playing some pretty great games back to back the last 6 months. Holding its own easily.

Also, the more I see the more I cant wait for the Art Book.

I liked it, good game

BUT... next one needs to be made for top hardware first and then watered down to Nintendo hardware.

The Switch to PC thing did not work.

It is 2023, I expect graphics + gameplay (especially now at $70) Capcom has done it elsewhere... do it again for MH.

Lawyers are making a killing on this deal (Or almost... Maybe deal)

That is having it in a badly ventilated space. Same as with a PC.

I made a custom water loop for my PC in the living room. It is in a tight spot

PS5 has a dedicated 200mm Thermaltake ultrasilent 900rpm fan feeding clean air into its space

You got to help them out if tucked away.
