Release window can be easely updated. Remember those rumors in 2020-2021 about Elden Ring being 100% done and ready?
Hopefully Team ninja will do something on top of their usual quality, because A. This is open world and it is their first if I'm not mistaking B. Narrative should be better as this is usually their weakest point recognized even by fans. C. This is supervised by Sony directly. It will get a go when it is ready.
Ok I expected great graphics and slick gameplay, but graphics are just above average with no interactivity and gameplay while not awful, still feels clunky.
Maybe I'll give this demo an another run today though.
There was a moment, I thought I'd up my sub to extra, but then I realised I have enough backlog to keep me for a year of playing. And also I don't want additional little axiety that I could miss on a game which is good, but could leave the service soon, or my sub running out etc.
Basically, why would I rent a catalogue of games if I don't have time for them?
Heavy discounted sales represent better value for money, than a sub, because game stays in your library.
To sum it up: ownership is better than renting. Edit: for the games, at least.
I don't know how to put it correctly to not initiate hatespeech/holy war etc. (pushsquare is a friendly community, I''ll bet on it). But here' s what I feel I have to say:
I want games and other media to represent gender and sexual preferences in a statistically correct manner. There are majority of people, who are heterosexuals.
Media should represent all factions of our society according to how it is in reality and not give such large preferences to the minor factions.
I'm straight myself and I played both Horizon titles extensively. And I never felt my Aloy this way. Developers should give a player two options. And being left forever alone shouldn't be considered as one.
@Northern_munkey I think you'll just f****ng buy it on release)))
That what I would do, because I'm a Soulsborne and Elden ring fan and also don't know s**t about Armored Core franchise. It's Fromsoft. No further explanation required.
No time to play multiple games at once, tbh. I stick to basic PS plus and purchase games I really want to play. Demos help with decisions greatly, by the way.
Ok, load it on your 4k tv, experience all the load times, especially in 3rd party titles, take notice of all the design choices of those days, and then you'll understand, why majority of promotions, related to the remasters of titles of that era, tells you they offering you to re-expirience "classic" game. It's classic, because it's retro.
It's a shame that Wings of the ten feature is so close to the end.
When I got to it and San Francisco region I was already level 50. And I didn't grind. Just completed side quests, not all of them even. And got tired, I think.
Now I think it'd be better for me to rush to San Francisco and to start doing side activities afterwards.
In any case, it was a powerful journey. Honestly, I didn't expect I'd be so much into it.
Now I play my old save in Nioh 2, somewhere at 1/3 of the game. Not sure it'll grab me. Maybe replaying Elden ring for the 5th time could be a better idea. I'm not joking.
@themightyant ofcourse it's a mighty good game. I beat GoW:R in december 2022 and loved it. (where's the NG+ update, by the by?..)
Also, happy for you guys that you have stock and even capable to choose how to have it - bundled or not.
In UA stock situation is the same still. Lots of offers from scalpers, though. Seems like their business is not so good as i was, though, as they couldn't price more than 200 bucks on top of retail price now.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's Breathtaking First PS5 Footage Stains Summer Game Fest
I'm not at all impressed by MK1.
The biggest turn-off is this cameo system.
It'll be a good side/alternative game mode, but as a main new mechanic it feels stupid.

Is this any good?
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 May Hit Your PS5 SSD with a Fatality

Guilty Gear Strive weights 16 gb and I don't bother myself with questions if I require additional space instead of it.

Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
@Kelrics90 ray tracing is more about realistic light and then reflections
Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
Ok, yeah. Scalpers have to maintain their business,I guess.. That's why we need ps5pro.
I'd bet on a 1500 quids per unit))
Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
@Kelrics90 and yet neither latest Horizon, nor GoW had RT in them.

If I had an opportunity to have RE4 disc earlier, my decision problem would have been solved at once.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 468
Finally finished Horizon:Forbidden West.
It's a shame that Wings of the ten feature is so close to the end.

Re: Atlas Fallen Gameplay Trailer Reveals Flashy, Hard-Hitting Combat
Deck 13 needs to step up after The Surge 1,2.
They tried so hard to replicate Souls combat, but results were mediocre so far.
Hope this is better, but I willl definitely wait for review here. Or, even better if, a demo.
Re: Valkyrie Elysium (PS5) - Quality Combat Elevates Drab Action RPG
Played the demo. And.. I had enough of it.
Good combat, yes. But demo satisfied my curiosity in full.
And then I remembered, that I have half-beaten Nioh 2 waiting for me.
Re: Best RPGs on PS5
@Mauzuri highly unlikely.
But, no matter, really.
Re: The Outer Worlds' New PS5 Version Has Some Really Disappointing Performance Issues
@KingDazzar oh well. Seems like 7 bucks wasted for me.
In any case, I'll try it and find out if it is beyond playable for me.
Re: Best RPGs on PS5
No Elden ring in the chart?
Are you f.. kidding me?

GOW Ragnarok still in the top. Wow.
Or maybe that's a new PS5 bundle?
Re: Preview: Capcom Showers Resident Evil 4's Late Game with Love
Going to pre-order, when we will know it gone gold.
Since it's 2 weeks before release and we still haven't had such news, I consider this to be a little suspicious.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists
I read the whole review, but found nothing about downgraded graphics.
Could you add a few words about visuals?
I played demo a little and it shows to me Wo long has graphics quality similar to Nioh2.
