I miss Windows Phone because of how I'm harassed several times a day on my Samsung by Google to play a game or to try this or that app. I have even had stupid mobile games installed without my knowledge when the phone had a supposed update.
@Oram77 most Sony first party titles have no replay ability after one or two play through with the elder scrolls and Fallout you can replay them several different times and have a different experience and discover new things you didn't see before.
I enjoyed Starfield. For those who haven't played it think Oblivion and Fallout New Vegas combined. Sections are walled off behind a loading screen. I hate seeing people go into a store and when I go in right after someone no one is in there. Those are the little nit picks that I have.
@LogicStrikesAgain Xbox first party titles are Play Anywhere. If you buy it on Xbox you get a PC version with it. Silent Hill F is one of the 3rd party games that is a Play Anywhere title. I think that will keep a lot of people on the Xbox ecosystem.
Unvault all the content I've bought and I might start playing again. I hate how they take the stuff you have paid for and lock it away and then try to get you to buy it again.
@ButterySmooth30FPS Red Dead Redemption has been running on Xbox at 60fps for years now along with a few other enhancements. It is the 360 version. It looks pretty good too. Fallout 3 is another one that runs at 60fps on Xbox.
@Flaming_Kaiser about the only thing that ran good on the PS3 were first party games. I like Bethesda games and I expect Starfield to do pretty good on the PS5. Im sure it is going to have millions more fans when it releases.
@ConstantStateOfPlay and you will be beta testing it when it comes to the PS5. Anyone who buys a game on release day is a beta tester if they end up putting patches out for the game.
@Flaming_Kaiser Bethesda wasn't the only one who had games that didn't run well on the PS3. Several 3rd party games didn't run well on the PS3. I never got to finish Red Dead Redemption on PS3 because of all the crashes.
@Coffeeglitch I expect Redfall to review much better on PS5 than it did on Xbox. The game has been patched and is pretty good now. I'm on my 2nd character playthru. The game is a pretty solid shooter with all the quirks Arkane studios is known for. I've never tried the coop so I can't comment on it. If it does come to Playstation give it a go when it goes on sale.
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines had a similar meter when it came to drinking blood. That is a game that needs to be remastered for this generation. It was only on PC but it was the best vampire rpg I have ever played. It is extremely dated now and the graphics doesn't hold up very well.
I thought it was excellent. I'm looking forward to Pragmata and Silent Hill F. I know I'm late to the party but I didn't get a chance to watch it until today.
@Eduard_Brenton they are to cartoony for me. They look nice and the gameplay is pretty solid but they just aren't for me. I can see why some people love them.
The entire 2nd game could have easily been done in a single season. They are trying to drag it out to cover multiple seasons and it has killed the momentum of the story. Some of the episodes including the last one was actually boring. I enjoyed the first season but the 2nd not so much.
I haven't played Destiny 2 in years but I might play the Final Shape just to see how it ends. I hated when it went free to play. I liked how the first Destiny was done with the expansions every few months but Destiny 2 drip feed everything to slowly for my tastes and I hated how it was always trying to get money out of you and then locking content behind a paywall only to try and get you to buy it again with the next season.
I thought the game looked and played great. I'm having a good time with it and would recommend it people put it on their play list. I like this version much better than the original. They environments are much better in the new version which is to be expected. If you are on the fence about it and like rpgs just buy it.
@Weebleman I've done all of that and it hasn't helped. It is very well vented, it sets on top of the entertainment center with nothing around it. It only crashes when playing a PS5 game, it never does it with a PS4 game.
I'll be watching season 2. I have the first season pre-ordered on Amazon it is a 4k steel book release. I hope every season gets the 4k bluray treatment.
@somnambulance that is the way it has been with me. I did like Avowed and The remaster of Oblivion. I really liked As Dusk Falls, I would have never thought of playing that game if it hadn't been on GP.
@somnambulance same here. I spent 2013 to 2022 primarily on my PS5 but for the past 2 years I've hardly touched it and spend most of my time on the Series X.

Re: Rumour: Starfield PS5 to Take Flight Alongside New Expansion Next Year
Starfield wasn't near as buggy as other Bethesda games. I enjoyed my time with it. When it comes to PS5 I'll probably pick it up for another playthru.
