I have 1 and 2, but never tried 3 because I read it was pretty much fan-fiction/not canon. But that was back when I cared about reviews, so maybe now I’ll give it a chance
This game was deemed vaporware 3 years ago, so it's great to see such a resurgence prior to launching. I think this was one of the first things I added to my PS5 wishlist, too?
@Yor-sama That hype is probably responsible for most of the backlash. PureXbox was manic! “Ponies will RUE the day!! Cast your P$5 into the sea and weep!”
Resetera also has a comprehensive post of every PS5 game that benefits from Pro Enhacements/Boost, so it’s a great resource when people erroneously claim that only a handful of games are improved. 🤓
Wasn't interested at the start, but as more details came out (especially the latest PS5 Pro deep-dive), I was sold. I'll definitely be checking this out, especially if it gets bad reviews.
Doubt I’ll ever use it (unless it can play my digital PSP and Vita games), but hopefully this takes off! I know Sony has had kind of… checkered success in this space
Slitterhead looks really good to me, but doesn’t seem to have made an impact. Interesting reading all the time how desperate people are for new and unique games but never buy them
@somnambulance Some people are just addicted to outrage and constantly need things to be upset about. It's an unfortunate part of many online fandoms.
In this specific case, I think Marathon has become something of a proxy-battleground for people who hate live service in general, people who hate Sony, people who hate Sony's live service, and people still fuming about Bluepoint.
They could theoretically keep their games off Steam Machine by implementing anti-cheat software incompatible with SteamOS on everything. As far as Helix… probably? Not sure if it would be worth the work or headaches. Definitely would be hilarious, though!
As far as a lawsuit, what would be the grounds or specific charge(s)?
Interesting numbers. I’m always curious about this kind of stuff and how these companies function at this level.
@LogicStrikesAgain My job has two such surveys each year and they are anonymous, but this year one of them had the option to un-anonymize. Everyone’s reaction was, “Why?!”

Re: 'This Is Finally Living Up to Its Promise': PS5 Pro Owners Thrilled with PSSR 2 Upgrade
@Porco Seems like a lot of people here forget consoles can be traded or sold to help buy the next one. That’s how I got my Pro for $185

Day one, unironically. I had fun with little I played on Series X, but PlayStation is my home.

Re: Crimson Desert PS5 Concern as Physical Copies Won't Run without Download
@Flaming_Kaiser Huh, my PS5 discs all work as well
Re: Crimson Desert PS5 Concern as Physical Copies Won't Run without Download
@NieR_Dark I just don't understand obsessing about what's on the disc/cartridge. The games are all installed on the hard drive/SSD since PS4 anyway.

@KoopaTheGamer The game isn’t even out yet on PS5, I doubt anything port-related had even started
Re: 'No One Is Buying This on PS5': PC Port Begging Already Unbearable as Sony Switches Strategy
@PuppetMaster People were saying the same thing about Wolverine 🤣
They probably have some super specific definition of first-party so that nothing counts and they can complain.
