@Cry_Zero it's a lot easier to say "yes, you can use our IP" and make a bunch of money from that than it is to make an entirely new game. The first one didn't even do that well to warrant a sequel.
I'm out because of the lack of quests. I know many people love the immersion, but I much prefer having a quest log telling me where to go. It was the only negative I had against Elden Ring as well
@Chaosbros I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Honestly I feel like every time a new Civ games come out, everyone complains it's not like the last one. I wasn't sold on the Civ switching and ages at first, but it's grown on me after a few games. The UI is poorly designed, no getting around that. Some things are hard to find and see. But that hasn't hindered my enjoyment too much. It's the #1 thing the devs have said they are working on fixing. Overall I'd say it absolutely worth the money. If you like Civ, you're still gonna like this and play for hundreds of hours. But like literally any other game release, you can wait X months and get a better version for cheaper. I obviously didn't feel like waiting lol
I'm so excited to see it doing well. I've been playing this franchise for over 20 years, and for me this may just be the best of the franchise! The emphasis on story and each weapon feeling incredibly unique has been a breath of fresh air. I'm glad their efforts are seemingly being rewarded
I just want to be able to play the games again on PS5. The first one was fine, but the second is highly underrated. Never played the third but I'd love to try it out!
It was a fine side quest. But for me, the best was by far the Howard mission. We all knew how it would end, but it didn't make it any less beautiful. The music as I was flying through New York with the birds. I absolutely teared up at the end.
I can see a future where a bespoke version of Game Pass is on PlayStation. It'd only be the Xbox first party games. It gives Xbox more subscribers and PlayStation can keep players on their console. Which is what both want
@DualWielding I haven't played much yet, but seems pretty rough. I've been reading around on Reddit and unlocking characters can be a major grind if you don't pay. And then you have to worry about leveling each character up individually.
Does anyone know how they'll handle things like materia/weapon upgrades? Since this is a continuation in the game, will I have access to the materia I gained in the first game or is it gonna be like starting a brand new game?

Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
I pay for ps plus mostly for the cloud saving and the occasional good monthly game. Don't care to play online so this is a non issue for me

I played Civ 7 all day. Outage had zero effect on me. Singler player games FTW

Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Version Is Out Now on PS5, Xbox, and PC
@VaultGuy415 oh really? I wonder if they are still working on that then
Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Version Is Out Now on PS5, Xbox, and PC
@VaultGuy415 it's fixed now. You can download the PS5 version through PS Plus. It was a temporary glitch
Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Version Is Out Now on PS5, Xbox, and PC
Update: PS Plus version now works for a free upgrade
Re: Fallout 4 Next Gen Version Is Out Now on PS5, Xbox, and PC
According to PlayStation chat support, the PS Plus version not being included is a glitch and is intended to be fixed by the end of the day today.

Re: Rumour: Dragon's Dogma 2 Runs at 30fps on PS5
I was 50/50 about getting it or not. But this has definitely pushed me to the side of not buying. 30 FPS is a non starter for an action game like this

Re: Spider-Man 2's Best Side Mission Has Been Nominated for an Award

Re: PlayStation Users to Be Considered 'Part of the Xbox Community', Says Xbox Boss
@Kevw2006 I would to, but that seems unlikely. Xbox's whole purpose right now is to get subscribers. They don't really care about individual sales

I can see a future where a bespoke version of Game Pass is on PlayStation. It'd only be the Xbox first party games. It gives Xbox more subscribers and PlayStation can keep players on their console. Which is what both want

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Baldur's Gate 3?
I've been enjoying the game, but it is so overwhelming. They really don't explain anything and they assume you know D&D combat already
