@Ralizah Exactly. At best, we get someone’s subjective take about someone else’s subjective take; at worst we get even more harassment and echo-chambers
This reminds me of when people on Pure Xbox were calling for PJ O’Reilly to be fired because he gave Indiana Jones a 6 and STALKER 2 a 4. “Xbox exclusives need higher scores!!”
People need to stop paying attention to reviews/reviewers and think for themselves.
The hour and a half I spent in Starfield on my Series X was… fine. Definitely not the generation-defining experience it was hyped to be and didn’t make me throw my PS5 out a window in anguish like people on PureXbox said. I’ll try it on PS5 if there’s a physical
Very excited about this! I have both the PS4 and Xbox versions of these, but the audio quality is so much worse on Xbox that even the FPS Boosts don’t make me completely happy. Plus I prefer PlayStation controllers over any other platforms’.
@atthegates Far Cry 3 Classic and Blood Dragon Classic were already Pro Enhanced to 1440p, but I think 4 was boosted to like 1650 or something when they unlocked the FPS. We'll have to see!
Day one Pro adopter here and couldn’t be happier! Noticeable improvements to several games that aren't even Pro Enhanced. Anything that uses DRS or unlocked framerate will see native improvements.
@RoomWithaMoose Not at all! I’m just saying it’s very unlikely because they already tried it and those games pretty much all flopped. A common fate for smaller games that people demand but never play.
@SMJ Loss-leading is still leading. Do you realize how insane it sounds to say they should ditch their platform on an article where they sold millions of downloads (while earning a 30% cut) of just this one game?
This is good advice for gaming in general. So many people are victims of their own expectations and become deeply jaded. Best thing to do is have no expectations or wants so that the actual good things will be pleasant surprises.
@carlos82 My Series X is mostly a turbocharged 360. It’s really nice playing more stable and better-looking versions of 7th gen games, especially the ones like Half Life 2 and Fallout 3/New Vegas which were notoriously buggy and slow on PS3.
I have 90 minutes in Starfield on Xbox and it’s… fine. Falls quite short of the “generation-defining experience” it was hyped to be and definitely didn’t make me throw my PS5 out a window in grief like people on PureXbox said, but I’ve enjoyed it so far. I like how the ship’s AI says my character’s name.

Just play on a PS3 like I do and forget about streaming. The awful input lag makes playing difficult even when the streaming works.

Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Now Has the Most Game of the Year Awards Ever
Not sure what to think of this game. Seems to be majorly hyped by people who despise JRPGs/anime. Nonetheless, I’d like to try it at some point.

@atthegates It actually got the resolution boost on PS4 Pro which carries over to PS5. I should've clarified!

Re: 'You Can't Do GTA for $10 Million': Split Fiction's Josef Fares Champions Diversity in Games and Budgets
@RoomWithaMoose I'm just pointing that people say this here all the time yet didn't buy or play these kinds of games when Sony DID make them.

Re: Xbox Sales Hit New Low in UK, Barely Competes with PS5 at This Point

4K and a hopefully fixed save glitch are worth the $15, IMO. I have over 110 hours in the PS4 version and would totally do it again on PS5!
