Lol what the heck is going on? π I just started playing the game and I don't understand how the "war effort" works. My buddies and I were still getting annihilated by automotons late last night.
What I don't understand is why developers sometimes lower the resolution so much to get a performance mode that we sit with a blurry mess of a game. Rather reduce the overall fidelity and keep the resolution at 4k and the fps solid. The game will look all the better for it. 4k60 should be the target for performance modes (although 1440p has also been fine) and fidelity can take a hit. I must say though.. whatever Shift Up did with Stellar Blade's balanced mode is magic and should be the standard going forward.
This reminds me of those companion apps we used to get during the ps4 era. Some of them were really good! I sank hours into the AC4 Black Flag one. It had like a mini fleet management/resource gathering ship game in it that linked to the main game. Was pure genius.
I honestly had some fun messing around in the offline modes. The aiming controls are messed up in Battlefront 2 though, so not bothering with online just yet. I'll just be playing EA's BF2 until Aspyr can fix the Classic Collection βπΌπ
@BoomShakAllaker The Steam reviews made it seem much worse and I thought it might just be another buggy (no pun intended) game release. Glad to hear the game is running well and that people are having fun. I am keen to get it! Word up son ππ»
Bayonetta has 3 excellent games. Nier Automata is a masterpiece. FF7 Remake is amazing. All have strong, confident female characters in them. Keep up the good work devs ππ»
Every PS5 owner should put away a bit of money every month and eventually buy an Xbox Series X as well. Then you'll have Gamepass, the console wars won't matter to you and you'll get the best of both worlds. Honestly life-changing.
Sony needs to lock in Half Life Alyx as a PSVR2 title at some point to make it more attractive (should've been a launch title). And FFS developers need to port over more PSVR games that could be played with the Dualshock 4, like the Wipeout Omega Collection and Star Wars Squadrons, for example... but I digress. I'm mildly excited for the SoP!
The COD developers shouldn't have been so sensitive. It's not their fault MW3 released under-baked. It's the trash Activision overlords that are responsible for that. The devs were just complying so that they can keep their jobs. If anything, Christopher Judge took a stab at Activision and not the developers themselves. I laughed so hard π€£
I knew this was going to be a successful product π€£ There are a lot more dads/husbands/boyfriends out there that have to share a TV than people realize.. and now they can do that and still game. Or people that just like handhelds. Also, it's just a very well made, quality device. Waiting for this to launch in my country π¬
Excited to see how this turns out. Played all the Commandos games back in the day, played all the Mimimi games and recently played War Mongrels as well, which I thought was brilliant... gave me that Commandos fix. I'll take more RTT games any day.
First they wanted to "outspend Sony" and now we see they wanted to "buy Nintendo" as well? How many more of these sleezy emails are out there that we don't know about?? π€£
Gave it a 9. Runs beautifully on the PS5. Some environments are just breathtaking. Controls nicely for the frantic nature of the game. Got a lot of Zone of the Enders vibes as well (I don't ever see people referencing this) and my Elden Ring PTSD definitely resurfaced a few times lol..... Unexpected (but unsurprising) difficulty in boss fights made me learn all the game's systems and really experiment with different builds until I got the right one for the fight. Genius game design.
So tragic. Their games were top notch and helped keep the RTT genre alive. Imagine if these guys did a Commandos reboot before closing. Damn that would've been perfect!
You're most likely gonna be able to easily charge this wherever you are using it. It's really starting to look like a more compelling device. Digging the new range of PS products Sony is launching. Word up son ππ»
One of the best games of the last generation and yet the only FromSoftware game NOT running 60fps (officially) on PS5. It's one of life's great mysteries..
Yea ok so not too much on first party games but holy hell there were some good announcements. All the MGS3 Remake rumors were true, there's a MGS collection coming! Sword of the Sea looks utterly mind-blowing! Towers of Aghasba looks insane, visually. That Alan Wake 2 gameplay!! And release date!! Same for AC Mirage omg!! Phantom Blade 0 looks really cool and yea, some cool venom Spiderman gameplay. Really not a bad show. Did it for me. The first-party showcase will come.
I've had a concerning lack of sleep since Friday, because time is just a construct when playing TOTK π Completely sucked in and mesmerized by everything going on in that game.. and on such a little system. In a time where some big AAA releases are unfathomably buggy as hell.. we are yet again reminded why Nintendo has the best rated games of all time ππ» I hope FF16 is Sony's TOTK moment π
