Okay, but really though, what on earth is going on at Square Enix right now? This is, like, their third or fourth failed game this year... and it's only April.
I love the Duelsense controller and I would say it is one of the best controllers that I've ever used, but that d-pad is just terrible. BUT! I just modded my duelselse with these:
I think it's hilarious that 34% are interested in playing this and 37% never thought the chaos memes were funny. Those are pretty close numbers. Haha!!
This happened to me. I had to call PlayStation's customer support so I could get a refund so I could still purchase the upgrade path for PS5. That was kind of annoying.
Unpopular opinion, is it wrong if I'm not a huge fan of this art direction? The combination of pixel art with detailed 3D style background feels like it's clashing to me.
@Jacko11 I used to think gyro was stupid... but then I tried it. It's insanely more accurate than just using the thumb sticks and there's really no going back once you adapt to it.
@Ralizah Are you still looking to get a PS5? I have a tip for getting one if you're interested. To get my PS5, I used an app called HotStock. It pings your phone when an item goes in stock. It's still hard to find a PS5 with the app, but I managed to get one using the app, so it definitely works.
@Mega-Gazz It's a little tricky to find. You have to do it on the console. Pop in the disc, go to the PS Store on the console, and the option will be available.
@Styledvinny79 Have you watched Digital Foundry's video on this upgrade? It's definitely more than just an upres of the PS4 games. $10 is a small asking price for making a game of this caliber a native PS5 game. Watch Dog's time and money isn't free.
I...... don't care? Can I say that? I feel like this going to be an issue for people that really care about 100%-ing games... but I just want a game that looks pretty to look prettier.
It kind of bugs me when people hop on here and say, "Oh well. I didn't play CoD anyway." You don't understand. This could honestly be the beginning of the end of the console wars, and Microsoft is looking to become the final winner. Sony really may become solely a software developer and only release their games on PC. There's no competition when one company owns them all. This sucks so much. I wouldn't be surprised if PS5 was the last PlayStation-made console.
I don't play any of the CoD games, but this is going to have huge repercussions if this deal isn't blocked by the courts. CoD has almost always been one of the best-selling franchises on PS consoles. This could be a huge hit to Sony's pockets if Microsoft makes CoD and Xbox exclusive. I don't see why they wouldn't.
This is the strongest selection of games in months. If someone isn't happy with this selection, then PS Plus probably isn't for you and you should most likely just unsubscribe.
I just played through the demo this evening and I was pleasantly surprised. I think the price is still a little too high for me, but I think I might pick it up some time down the road when it's a little cheaper.
I claimed the PS Plus version and I'm not seeing the upgrade available anywhere in the store. It still says that the upgrade and basically any other versions are unavailable to me. Sony really screwed this one, honestly.
I just bought Inscryption on PC. I started playing the game last night and I thought I had only been playing for maybe an hour or so. I checked the time and it was 3:00 am... I woke up and I can't stop thinking about it. This might be my personal game of the year.
@RBMango I played through the demo last night and, personally, I did think it was quite impressive, but not necessarily earth-shattering. However, I started to think about what games could look like if the art direction was less about photorealism and more about focusing on a stylized art direction, like Breath of the Wild or Kena. If a game was created with that style in UE5 then I think the outcome could be mind-blowingly beautiful and could easily run at 4k 60fps.
@jdv95 Around 20 GB... and it shows. My goodness. I played the demo last night. I thought 20 was a lot and then I saw it in action and I was like, "Okay... how is this not 80?"
Here's the trick to watching the game awards. Start watching the live stream an hour and a half late and then rewind to the beginning. That way you can skip any ad or announcement you don't care about. I did this and had a fantastic time. Haha!
I already wasn't big on the idea of getting Godfall, but this version kind of makes me not even want to claim it. I don't know. I don't like online multiplayer games. I basically only play games for their single-player story and gameplay. This sounds like the opposite of what I would ever play.
I'm not big on AC games, honestly, but I wish developers would do more to support their games on current-gen consoles. It blows my mind that games like Hollow Knight, Tomb Raider, and Journey are locked at 1080p, and games like Gravity Rush 2, Crash Bandicoot, The Last Guardian, and Concrete Genie are locked at 30 fps. All of these games should be running at a flawless 4k 60fps, or at least 1440p 60fps, on the PS5. It's an absolute shame, really.
I apologize. I should have clarified. I live in the U.S., so the price difference is much smaller. Switch games are $60 while PS5 games are $70 at full price, but Nintendo games almost never drop in price. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (which came out this year) just dropped to $50 at some stores while games like DK: Tropical Freeze (which came out in 2014) dropped to $45 for Black Friday, which is the lowest that price has been all year.
I'm very sorry that the prices are higher on your side of the world and I think that Sony should make those prices more even from currency to currency.
Anyone on this site that complains about PS games pricing needs to go buy a Nintendo Switch to play Nintendo's exclusive. PS's game prices will look mighty fine by comparison.
Spiritfarer is a masterpiece. I'm not even that far into the game and I've already cried several times and grown to love every character I've met so far. I have to be careful of when I play this game because I lose all sense of time while I'm playing it.
And yes, I know this came out last year, but I didn't get around to playing until this year, so it's a 2021 game for me.
Even though it doesn't deserve game of the year, Deathloop is probably going to win. I mean, come on. Does Deathloop actually hold a candle to games that are actual games of the year, like Breath of the Wild, The Last of Us: Part 2, God of War, and The Witcher 3?
@dimi I could not agree more. Ring Fit Adventure is a masterpiece. I've been playing it about 4 to 6 times a week for 20 to 40 minutes a day for the past 2 or 3 months. It's incredible. I feel so much better, people tell me I'm in a better mood than I was, and I think I've actually lost some weight. I've been trying to find an exercise routine that works for me for years and then I finally found Ring Fit. 10/10 would recommend.
I, miraculously, was able to get a PS5 earlier this Summer. I love it. Spider-Man Remastered was a masterpiece. Rift Apart blew my mind. I'm really excited for where this console is headed.
However, my biggest grievance with the PS5 is not the hardware or Sony; it's with developers and publishers not making their games run at their best on the new hardware even though the PS5 could absolutely run the games at full power with ease. Hollow Knight? Locked at 1080p. Gravity Rush 2? Locked at 30 fps. Okami HD? Locked at 30 fps. Tomb Raider? Locked 1080p. Rise of the Tomb Raider? Locked 30 fps. You get the point.
I have a PC with a Radeon RX 580. It's a decent card, not great, but what I don't understand is that all of these games that I just listed run better on my RX 580 than they do on the PS5, and the PS5 should be blowing my GPU out the effing water. It's really frustrating, honestly. It's my one gripe with the console and it's not even with the console per se.
@huyi I don't think you could be missing out more if I'm being totally honest. I haven't missed a single free game since Epic began giving games away. I have claimed, and I'm not making this up, over 230 free video games from Epic Games. Most of it isn't even shovelware.
Some of these games include: A Short Hike, Abzu, Celeste, Create in the Well, Thimbleweed Park, Hyper Light Drifter, Into the Breach, Mutazione, Night in the Woods, Rime, Sonic Mania, SuperHot, The Messenger, The Wolf Among Us, This War of Mine, World of Goo, Yoku's Island Express, Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, A Plague's Tale Innocence, Alan Wake, the entire Batman Trilogy, every Borderlands game except 3, Oxenfree, Rayman Legends, World War Z, Control, Alien: Isolation, and GTA 5.
In all honesty, I have never touched a CoD game before. I'm sure they're fun for people to play, but I guess I don't understand. I don't see the appeal of waiting in lobbies, shooting nameless characters with your somewhat nameless character, and doing the same thing over and over. I mean, it's one of the most successful video game franchises out there, but I have no desire to play any of these games. I would much rather play something story-driven and makes you really feel something. I'm sure there are a couple of CoD games that do that, but I still think it's a pass for me.
