So they concentrated their team on world building but forgot player testing, technical debugging and basic storytelling. Feel bad for people who preordered this. It’s like Mass Effect Andromeda or cyberpunk 1.00.
I’ll just wait for it to go to Plus, the horror/action title is not a true survival horror. More like RE6 with a spattering of 7. Either make a horror game or a shooting zombie game, not both.
With all these knockoffs I do wonder why nobody has tried an opposite Pokémon game. Where you’re an animal/alien and have to capture humans to fight your battles. Humans have jobs and each job brings something new to the mix.
That demo is a time sink. Stuck at lvl 10, trying to beat ferals is a luck/prepardeness factor. The PS page doesn’t list the extra stuff from getting a deluxe or ultimate, but apparently you can get it all in game.
Played ESO when it first came out, haven’t touched it since. Then we have golf and slime, pass. The Monster Hunter Rise doesn’t do much for stories. Killing your Monsti’s or caring for them. Confusing choice.
It’s interesting from a time/price situation where you can see when it came out, how much and what sales if any. Could be interesting to see how time affects prices based on how popular a game is.
@Zahpeter Tons of content and support for new players. Haven’t played in a few months (trying arknights), the skip button is a welcome addition. Very sci-fi with the previous worlds of ice kingdom. Asian, cartoon, futuristic Roman Empire and now anime. It’s definitely unique.
A dose of maturity would do wonders for Stories. The collection mechanic is fun with rare monsters to catch, breed, merge, evolve, butcher. Still waiting for a snake like monster.
Comes down to the Batgirl movie. Fully completed with everything, but shelved at last minute. It’s not a popularity move, it’s a business decision. Marketing and publishing are expensive. Why invest in something that didn’t grab the attention of anyone outside fan service?
It’s like it was trying to be too many things while doing each thing poorly. From advertising to design, this was the proverbial wall, complete with brown stains.
I mean if they included multiple types of races (car, pod, spaceship) and maybe some sort of plot. Meh, still just another Star Wars game with a new coat of paint.

Re: Ahead of Arrival on PS Plus, Lords of the Fallen Gets a Major PS5 Update
Lord of Choices, do I like red light, yellow light or no light. Have fun getting lost in the swamp, meet the villagers, possibly scream a little?
Re: Echoes of Aincrad Is a Totally New Take on Sword Art Online, as Massive PS5 Gameplay Demo Shows
Overworld gives an Elden ring feel. The anime showed a lot of exploration and big boss fights. Looks fun.
Re: Feature: PS5 Price - Why Does It Cost So Much in 2026?
Getting close to forgetting current consoles and go back to analog (board games, puzzles and watching paint dry).
Re: Japan's Cheaper, Language Locked PS5 Shielded from Outrageous Price Increases
Ahh yes, the tried and true method of cultural favoritism. Yes, this has worked truly well in the past. /s

Re: PS Plus Essential Game for April 2026 Leaked
The Dragon Rider welcomes new players to the slaughter.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Adds Cut Content, New Mode, Videos in Big PS5 Update
I would do it again but my roads and monorail are probably in horrendous conditions by now.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Flying Off Shelves, Now at 6 Million Sales
@Oram77 it’s probably because I’m in my 50s and was never really into House of the Dead action games.

Re: 'We Couldn't Have Done It Without You': Pokémon Knock-Off Palworld Is No Longer the Only Viral PS5 Copycat in Town
With all these knockoffs I do wonder why nobody has tried an opposite Pokémon game. Where you’re an animal/alien and have to capture humans to fight your battles. Humans have jobs and each job brings something new to the mix.
Re: 7 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2026 Leaked Early
So it’s a something for everyone month. Some niche titles, but I’d give it a not bad.
Re: 'This Should Be Illegal': PS5's Dynamic Pricing Roundly Criticised by Disgusted Sony Fans
Play PS + and Gacha games so it doesn’t bother me. Maybe they judge this on trophy count. Could be a lot of things.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (PS5) - Capcom's Monster Taming RPG Soars to New Heights

Re: These 10+ PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (9th-15th March)
No love for Greedfall.
Re: Preview: Sword Art Online Returns to PS5 as a Darker Open World Action RPG This Summer
So it’s an anime version of Elden Ring. Sign me up.
Re: Believe It or Not, Atomic Heart Is Still Getting DLC
Beat it on Plus when it was offered. Tutorial level in new game + is plain evil.
Re: More God of War PS5 Details Leak, Out in 2027 with New Protagonist
Now, Kratos against the Chinese gods would be interesting.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem (PS5) - Two-in-One Horror Not Quite an All-Timer
Pass. Need more horror. Sounds more like RE6 than an actual title. Bad design choice.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2026 Announced

Re: The Simpsons: Hit & Run Studio Returns, and Fans Are Hopeful for a Remaster
Oh prototype. That needs a remake or sequel, great game for causing mayhem. Haven’t tried a simpsons game since college, when it was out on the Sega.

Re: Original Xbox Creator Shares Brutal Opinion of New Leadership, Believes This Is the End of Xbox
Haha! Join Sega Microsoft. Another one can’t top Mario or Sony. ROFL

Re: Saints Row Is 'Dead' Says Design Director After Prequel Pitch 'Ghosted' by Embracer Group
Well we had 2 about starting out. One with super heroes, aliens and Hell. I’m not sure where they could go next. Fantasyland?
Re: Two Far Cry Games, 'Several' Assassin's Creed Games in Development, Ubisoft Confirms
A remake of 2 would be nice.
Re: Preview: This GTA-Inspired Anime Game Took Me by Surprise on PS5
Add it to my list, pending updates, finished with Arknights and HSR. This and 7 deadly sins have my attention.
Re: 10 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2026 Announced
Best part of Monster Hunter stories is the post game. Big scary bosses.
Re: Unsurprisingly, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined Is a Massive Hit in Japan
I don’t think those Xbox numbers are sustainable.
Re: Romeo Is a Dead Man (PS5) - Absurd, Entertaining, and Tedious All at Once
So it’s a trash game. People who crave this type of game will flock to it.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Humongous Sequel-Sized PS5 Update Embraces Otaku Culture

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (January 2026)
Just got to the 2nd chapter of Endfield. I think the capital might be bigger than all of chapter 1.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Demo Out Now on PS5, with Saves Carrying Over to the Full RPG
A dose of maturity would do wonders for Stories. The collection mechanic is fun with rare monsters to catch, breed, merge, evolve, butcher. Still waiting for a snake like monster.
Re: The Last of Us TV Show Might Be Over After Season 3
I don’t see how they could do a sequel to tLou2, characters seemed pretty tired of everything violent by the end of the game.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2026 Announced
Undisputedly Below the Ultra Unknown. Besides Ultros, back to the free to play genre for this month.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero Destined to Be a Worldwide Hit as Anticipation Grows
Looks like Devil May Nioh. Frantic weapon swinging with a Nioh rpg added in, could be fun.
Re: 'Everything Had Been Going Smoothly': Prince of Persia PS5 Remake Actress Found Out About Cancellation from Family

Re: PS Plus Essential Game for February 2026 Leaked
Really cleaning out the closet here.
Re: All Signs Point to Resident Evil: Code Veronica PS5 Remake in 2027
Story wise, it’s a great intro into weird variants of the G-Virus, fortunately we know now how it relates to RE8.
Re: Fable Announced for PS5, Releases in Autumn 2026
Time to eat some baby chicks, go evil and do very bad things like kicking chickens, people, mud.
Re: Prince of Persia Remake and 5 Other Games Cancelled by Ubisoft
Corporate speak for “game sucks, won’t make money”.
Re: Death Stranding Is So Multi-Platform That It's Now Going on Game Pass
I wonder if they ever made the curve zip lines online, great sequel.
Re: Code Veronica the Next Resident Evil Remake, Say New Reports
Before RE8 I would have loved this, but after?
Re: Yes, RPG Arknights: Endfield Is Absolutely Looking Like PS5's Next Big Gacha Hit
Well after 800 hours on HSR, I need something different, will give this a go.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for January 2026?
May try Mickey after I get sick of The Long Dark, damn near died to everything including a mineshaft.
Re: Code Violet (PS5) - Gooner Shooter Can't Get It Up
Hilarious as always. Can unpin this from my wishlist of a perfect dark clone gone awry.
Re: Xbox Sales Hit New Low in UK, Barely Competes with PS5 at This Point
End of an era. Coleco, Intellivision, commodore, sega and Microsoft. Cat consoles notwithstanding.
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes Exclusives Make Consoles 'Sing'
I’d actually play a survival Mario apocalypse.
Re: Star Wars Racing Games Are Back in Galactic Racer, Out for PS5 in 2026

Re: PS5 Outsold by an Unexpected Rival in the Run Up to Black Friday
Their acronym spells out “pigs”. Just weird. Kids are gonna eat that up 4 to 8, perfect babysitter.
