@Fiendish-Beaver Hello fellow Combat Engineer, from across the pond.
I was a bit glad to see "Combat Engineer" as the main until it went into Medic/ Corpman definitions of saving lives. Huh... that's... that's not really what a Combat Engineer does
@Gurdi ?????? This isn't " journalist" thing with the controls as I've read a mountain of posts mentioning the controls are " "absurdly obtuse"- What an odd thing to flip out about.....
@UltimateOtaku91 Hadn't visited Polygon in years, that was without a doubt one of the funniest and still written sincerely , game impressions I've EVER read- Good shout out ha ha
@trev666 Boy, good thing you're on most threads with video games mentioned. Otherwise we'd never know what a game plays like because most of us haven't actually played it most likely.
@RoomWithaMoose It's decent on SD with Chiaki, works well on a tablet with the dualsense.
PS Portal is a much better experience all the way around, the tablet only beating screen size, but with the limited mobility.
PC Handhelds are " heavy"-Greenlight on Deck was buttery smooth, but man that Deck gets heavy
@Yor-sama I haven't played it, but been on the fence because I've seen a lot of mixed opinions. Boring world, pretty bad dialogue and Yasuke isn't fun to play as i guess or the play styles are jarring between the two characters?- I've seen these complaints quite a bit. Do you feel like there's merit to any of those complaints?
@Sakai Its what my PS5 is, just a 3rd party machine. I'll get to Ghost of Y eventually, but Sony hasn't released a 1st party game I've drooled over for a while. Nearly as dumb as MS has been this gen, but at least we know they'll stay in the business of consoles. No idea what MS is doing anymore, and pending the new Zelda, Nindy is kind of coasting as well
@IronCrow86 It really is bizarre...I have yet to see why anything would take intentionally 7 years of development.
I wonder if there is a crisis level need for competent game directors. We hear endless stories on dysfunctional dev teams, wonder if gaming got too big for it's own good
@DrVenture69 In pretty happy with my my V3 Blackshark pro's.
I've got a Takamine electric classical and Fishman amp- gonna plug in as I'm curious. As a classical guitar player mostly playing a just a really loud lattice concert, I would have never thought to try it out - thanks for bringing it up
Read that these new H9's are just a watered down set from Sonys midrange headphones with a mic.
Audeze are going to release an updated Maxwell @ US $340-
@captainsandman
Oh absolutely, like mixing Metro gameplay and Cyberpunks openness, with some very intense/ scary/ heart racing oh ***** oh ***** moments.
The ambiance with great headphones and a nice screen is breathtaking sometimes

Re: 'No Mode Is Properly Optimised on Base PS5': Crimson Desert's Console Performance a 'Mixed Bag'
@ShogunRok Its truly a strange phenomenon, finding ways to discredit DF around a technical review is ...interesting certainly.
Re: Rumour: Anticipated PS5 Sequel Lords of the Fallen 2 Locked for August Release
@Frmknst
Exactly!!!
I mean for one thing is not an extraction shooter, so it belongs in the who cares pile
Re: Opinion: Does Starfield Suck? People Keep Telling Me to Skip Its PS5 Release
I genuinely enjoy the reviews from Pushsquare and PureXbox
I don't always agree, but they actually read like a gamer is reviewing them, not a communications major who needed a job
Re: Opinion: Does Starfield Suck? People Keep Telling Me to Skip Its PS5 Release
@Dimey HATING A GAME FOR BEING DISAPPOINTING IS COMPLETELY RATIONAL.........
This strange notion that if someone dislikes a game " well then, they obviously havnt played it!!" reasoning is remarkably childish
I think it speaks to society living through the internet and viewing important facets of life through the lenses of"internet"
Re: Crimson Desert Improves Image Quality on Base PS5 with Simple Upscaling
@LikelySatan Are u you trying to be willfully obtuse?
I never said it was a bad game, and this thread isn't a bubble in time..... but if you aren't seeing what I and others takes about......
Um....
Re: Crimson Desert Improves Image Quality on Base PS5 with Simple Upscaling
It's utterly bizzare to see never ending posts of people incensed when this game isn't talked about in gushing bombastic flowery prose.......
Quite possibly the strangest attachment syndrome I've ever seen around a game, and Starfield was really goofy/ but CD has easily 1 upped it.
Re: Feature: PS5 Price - Why Does It Cost So Much in 2026?
@Member_the_game I'm in the same boat, not to mention a 3 years long backlog of games genuinely want to play.
Just bought a Pro, have a kid that gets a 10% discount+ credit card cash back, I got it at a decent price
If god forbid the inflation never backs down, it should hold decent resale value
Re: PS5 FPS Alien Deathstorm Is Not to Be Confused with the Ridley Scott Movie, Despite Its Dev
I was in early 2000's/Iraq- it was mostly munitions demolition/ MSR clearance and breach support
I always figure it's a win for us if a character gets called a Combat Engineer instead of infantry 😆

No " just for you" tag- was just that price
Re: 70+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Huge Spring Sale
@MKD88 Tainted Grails atmosphere is really really good.
Hope you enjoy it!
For a Unity Engine game worth only 30 or so Devs it's impressive
Re: 70+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Huge Spring Sale
@MKD88 Tainted Grail is spectacular!
Having said that, I've only played it on the Steam Deck, and I've heard it runs a little ruff on PS5- maybe the latest patch fixed it.
Avowed isn't bad, really shallow and generic though- Outerworlds 1 with magic

Re: Intergalactic PS5 Seemingly Adds The Last of Us Star to Its Cast
@Silenos Boy I hope this game turns out to be a masterpiece, otherwise we'll get months of exhausting articles and game threads.
Re: Hands On: Crimson Desert Runs Well Enough on PS5 Pro, But What About That Intro?

Re: Hands On: Crimson Desert Runs Well Enough on PS5 Pro, But What About That Intro?
Thanks for the intro info Liam, bizarre...
I haven't seen such intense bickering in forums around a game since Starfield.
Been entertaining, really really dumb at times but entertaining

Re: 'Whatever We Say, People Won't Believe Us': Crimson Desert Dev Promises Full PS5 Tech Breakdown for Launch

Damn it man, I think half the reason I open the comments is because it comes worth a guaranteed "laugh out loud" quip from the Czar
You really should ask Pushsquare for commissions
Re: Step Aside PS Portal! The Best Way to Use PS5 Remote Play Is Getting Better
@RoomWithaMoose It's decent on SD with Chiaki, works well on a tablet with the dualsense.
PS Portal is a much better experience all the way around, the tablet only beating screen size, but with the limited mobility.
PC Handhelds are " heavy"-Greenlight on Deck was buttery smooth, but man that Deck gets heavy
It's The Best Way to stream PS5
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Enters 'Final Phase of Support', But 'Surprises' Are Still Coming

Boring world, pretty bad dialogue and Yasuke isn't fun to play as i guess or the play styles are jarring between the two characters?- I've seen these complaints quite a bit.
Do you feel like there's merit to any of those complaints?
Re: Rumour: Starfield PS5 Release Date Locked in for April as Xbox RPG Targets Lower Price Point
@Dan12836666 It released in such a weird state.
It wasn't bad at all, but Holy cow it was so, so, so, so, shallow-Utterly gorgeous sky boxes though
Re: Rumour: Starfield PS5 Release Date Locked in for April as Xbox RPG Targets Lower Price Point
@Bsb56 Not sure if this still works, but get PC Gamepass for 1$, 1€, and stream it
That way you know if it's for you
Re: Rumour: Starfield PS5 Release Date Locked in for April as Xbox RPG Targets Lower Price Point
@MrPeanutbutterz At least that would be exciting, still can't believe how many times I fell asleep playing this game.
Genuinely think 15+ hours of playtime i had fallen asleep
Re: Saints Row Is 'Dead' Says Design Director After Prequel Pitch 'Ghosted' by Embracer Group

Re: Starfield 2.0 Overhaul Mentioned Yet Again as Wait for PS5 Announcement Continues
PSA:
AVOID THE TEMPLES
The worst "important" mini- game I've ever experienced- this is not hyperbole
Re: Starfield 2.0 Overhaul Mentioned Yet Again as Wait for PS5 Announcement Continues
This will make for good popcorn entertainment, especially if Paul Tassi runs around screaming at anyone who doesn't think Starfield is a 9/10.
I don't think the game is capable of a 2.0.
From the ground up it wasn't well made, written, thought out, or any kind of groundbreaking

Re: Control Resonant Not a 'Safe Sequel', Remedy Aiming to 'Push the Boundaries'
Remedy is an enigma for me. I don't enjoy their games at all, but they are lauded by gaming fans and reviewers.
But they never sell really all that well

Re: Dead Island 3 Officially Confirmed in the Least Interesting Way Possible
Huge fan of Dambusters devs, they've been given 2 games in development hell, and turned out some really decent/ great games
Definitely buying 3 as soon as the 1st few patches roll out(never dreamed I'd have to plan purchasing around patches!)

Re: Rumour: Dead Space Is 'On Ice', Could Be Sold Off to Help Cover EA's Acquisition Debt
I finally played Dead Space thanks to PS Plus, and I've got to say... That's it????
If was fine. Not very scary, cool premise i guess.
Maybe I was WAY too late to the party, but i was not blown away
