...I feel like I was expecting too much. It looks pretty good, and may still get a third full playthrough out of me, but it's not as transformative as what I hoped for. My bad.
@AmanK_Art Check the accessibility custom options. There actually is an option to auto solve puzzles. The customization of games like this and Control are the way it should be done.
This had a solid campaign, but man, the multiplayer and post-game content could not have been any more of a drag. I'm looking forward to Midnight Suns and hope it turns out, but what I'm really chomping at the bit for is Spider-Man 2.
@claytortot213 That's just untrue. China hasn't released a Marvel movie since Endgame due to "objectionable content" that Disney wouldn't change. Same for Lightyear, the upcoming Strange Worlds and others. Disney doesn't factor Chinese box office anymore.
I played both Spider-Man games in 30 fps Fidelity mode and they looked and played great. To each their own, but it really doesn't mean anything to me. And didn't they say it had more to do with keeping it stable for online coop? Calling them lazy just seems like an uninformed, easy go-to.
I've owned Injustice 2 for ages. Hot Wheels is pretty good, but you'll have to pay for a lot of its best content. Superhot is a decent novelty that's pretty fun in VR, but wears thin fast. Hopefully Premium has a few fun surprises. At least I've got Plague Tale Requiem on GamePass.
Man, it had better be related. Stick and Fractured are modern classics. Fractured even has the slight edge for me, because I enjoyed the battle system, story and superhero franchise angle more.
Yeah, this was annoying. The morning of the open beta, I started playing with Harley and leveled her up several times. Logged back in in the afternoon, downloaded the patch, and suddenly she's locked and I had to earn and spend 2000 gold to be able to use her again.
I went ahead and upgraded to Extra. My main complaint is that they jumbled the Extra and Premium games together, so I have to scroll through a bunch of games I don't have access to while I'm browsing.
The last three games I've gone through - Citizen Sleeper, Eiyuden Chronicles and Octopath Traveler - were all via GamePass, and also the three best games I've played in a long time. Sony hasn't convinced me they're going to do anything close to comparable.
Unpopular opinion I'm sure, but 5 hours is longer than I spent on it. I was really disappointed with this sequel. With this in mind, I'm really looking forward to trials and demos becoming a thing again.
It's good, but like all online games, I don't have time to keep up. I played for maybe an hour the night of release, then turned it on again after getting home from work the next night. Suddenly everyone was leveled into their 20s. I was getting trashed by the Deadites and felt like a liability to my team. Add to it the soul crushing single player missions, and I ended up just returning it. I guess these types of games just aren't for me, Evil Dead fan or not.
I'm playing on Game Pass and really (unexpectedly) enjoying it. The loop and characters are fun. The music is great. I'll definitely pick up Hundred Heroes when it drops.
Let them close. Hopefully the devs will find other work and their boss won't. Leadership is a journey, give me a break. It really doesn't take that much effort to be a decent human being.
I've really enjoyed most of these, but never finished House of Ashes. I thought it was a bit of a slog, and disliked all of the characters. I'll definitely give this a go though.
I've gotten a ridiculous amount of playtime and value from Game Pass since I picked up a Series X a couple of months ago. The Xbox was originally intended to be an exclusives-only backup system with the PS5 being primary. They have since switched places. I was really hoping Sony would actually bring some competition to the table.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2022 Available to Download Now
Anyone else having trouble adding Biomutant to their library? I get an error every time. (In the US) Edit: Renewed my licenses to fix.

Re: PS Plus Premium Likely Getting Star Wars Battlefront II from PSP
Great game, but using the PSP version is maddening. I'm still irritated about getting the vastly inferior PSP version of Toy Story 3 as well.
Re: 25% of Players Have Beaten God of War Ragnarok, Two Weeks After Release
To be honest, 15 hours in I'm feeling a little burnt out on it. I think I'm going to step away for a bit. I don't know what it is exactly.
Re: PS Plus Extra Loses Ys VIII as the PS5 Version Releases
@themightyant And no discount if you decide to purchase like GamePass. I refuse to play any RPGs on Plus because of this.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 21
10/15. Mid-range, I'll take it.
Re: The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me (PS5) - One for the Fans Lacks Ambition
@dschons I totally agree. I really enjoyed Little Hope and didn't even finish House of Ashes.

Re: The Winter Soldier Joins Marvel's Avengers This Month
This had a solid campaign, but man, the multiplayer and post-game content could not have been any more of a drag. I'm looking forward to Midnight Suns and hope it turns out, but what I'm really chomping at the bit for is Spider-Man 2.
Re: PS1 Classic Syphon Filter 3 Could Be a New PS Plus Premium Game
I want some PS1 classic RPGs ASAP, and I know I'm not alone.
Re: Star Wars Eclipse 'Controlled Leak' Was Reportedly Intentional, Meant to Gauge Interest
This sounds like some other concept that they slapped the Star Wars title on. I guess maybe we'll find out in 4 to 5 years. Or not.
Re: Star Wars Eclipse 'Controlled Leak' Was Reportedly Intentional, Meant to Gauge Interest

Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for October 2022 Announced
I've owned Injustice 2 for ages. Hot Wheels is pretty good, but you'll have to pay for a lot of its best content. Superhot is a decent novelty that's pretty fun in VR, but wears thin fast. Hopefully Premium has a few fun surprises. At least I've got Plague Tale Requiem on GamePass.
Re: Square Enix Action RPG Valkyrie Elysium's Demo Out Now on PS5, PS4
Wow, this is absolutely a PS3 performance game. A decent one, but yeesh. There's no way I'd pay full price for it.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Conjures an Exclusive PS5, PS4 Quest
@Americansamurai1 Don't worry, at least two of those will slip into 2024.
Re: Lick a Stick with Killer Klowns from Outer Space on PS5, PS4
@Juanalf Yeah, it kills me that there are new Evil Dead, Ghostbusters and now freaking Killer Klowns games, and they're all multiplayer.
Re: Dune Awakening Is an Open World MMO Worming Its Way to PS5
Dune, yes. MMO, sure. Survival, dammit.
Re: Saints Row (PS5) - Seriously Dumb Fun Outweighs Dated Open World
Well, that slaps it down right in the middle where I still don't know if I want to buy it or not. I guess I'll wait for a drop.
Re: Disney & Marvel Games Showcase to Spotlight New and Upcoming PS5, PS4 Releases
What would they have to talk about that's Lego Skywalker related? There's no more DLC planned, right?
Re: New South Park Game Teased by THQ Nordic
Man, it had better be related. Stick and Fractured are modern classics. Fractured even has the slight edge for me, because I enjoyed the battle system, story and superhero franchise angle more.
Re: Warner Bros Clarify the Confusing MultiVersus Free Character Rotation Situation
Yeah, this was annoying. The morning of the open beta, I started playing with Harley and leveled her up several times. Logged back in in the afternoon, downloaded the patch, and suddenly she's locked and I had to earn and spend 2000 gold to be able to use her again.
Re: Steampunk RPG Circus Electrique Is Coming to PS5, PS4 on 6th September
As long as there are no roguelike elements, I'm in.
Re: MultiVersus Open Beta Test: Dates, Times, Characters, and How to Play
@Realist Oh, gotcha. Well, this is the beta test, so it makes sense it's online only. I assume the full release will have offline modes.
Re: MultiVersus Open Beta Test: Dates, Times, Characters, and How to Play
@JohnKarnes I am so confused.
Re: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 Will be Re-Released Next Week, on 20th July, for PS5, PS4
I might like to replay the Dark Alliance games, but they're overpriced imo. They'd be perfect for PS Plus Extra if Sony were so inclined.
Re: Next Ys Game Teased with Artwork, May Have Soulslike Elements
Please. Please don't ruin one of my favorite JRPG series with Souls elements. I ask for so little.
Re: PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium Now Live Across the USA
I went ahead and upgraded to Extra. My main complaint is that they jumbled the Extra and Premium games together, so I have to scroll through a bunch of games I don't have access to while I'm browsing.
Re: Overwatch 2 Will Be Free-to-Play on PS5, PS4
Good, because I was curious but didn't want to give Blizzard any money. Now I can at least give it a shot.
Re: Reaction: PS Plus’ Revamp Is Hours Away, But Sony Still Has a Game Pass Problem
The last three games I've gone through - Citizen Sleeper, Eiyuden Chronicles and Octopath Traveler - were all via GamePass, and also the three best games I've played in a long time. Sony hasn't convinced me they're going to do anything close to comparable.
Re: Infamous 3DO Romantic Comedy Plumbers Don't Wear Ties Plunges PS5, PS4 This Year
(The) Town with No Name: Remastered announcement incoming.
Re: Massive Street Fighter 6 Leaks Acknowledged by Capcom
I've never been into fighters besides MK and Injustice, but this looks fantastic. I'll probably be terrible at it, but will definitely give it a try.
Re: PS Plus Members Bemused by Potential God of War Inclusion Across Multiple Tiers
I haven't downloaded a single PS Plus game this year. That won't change this month.
Re: PS Plus Premium's Horizon Forbidden West Trial Lasts Five Hours on PS5, PS4
Unpopular opinion I'm sure, but 5 hours is longer than I spent on it. I was really disappointed with this sequel. With this in mind, I'm really looking forward to trials and demos becoming a thing again.
Re: Evil Dead: The Game (PS5) - This Cult Camp Horror Shows Its Groovy Side
It's good, but like all online games, I don't have time to keep up. I played for maybe an hour the night of release, then turned it on again after getting home from work the next night.

Re: Mini Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising (PS5) - Attractive Action RPG Struggles to Rise Above

Re: Rumour: BioWare May Have Just Confirmed the Return of Commander Shepard in the New Mass Effect
@meistergeister Uh, my Shepard is a snarky ginger lesbian in point of fact.
Re: Free-to-Play Kart Racer Disney Speedstorm Confirmed for PS5, PS4 This Summer
@KidBoruto But...but it's free-to-play...
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Smashes Franchise Sales Records
I haven't played anything else since launch. I rarely seek out Platinums, but this one will be mine.
Re: Sony Pictures Announces Ghostbusters VR, But No Word on PSVR2
Well, just the teaser made me a little motion sick, so I guess even if it does come to PSVR2, it's going to have to be a miss for me.
Re: Shadowrun Trilogy Brings Classic Cyberpunk Role-Playing to PS5, PS4 in June
Cool. I briefly owned Shadowrun Returns on mobile before it suddenly got pulled. It was fun.
Re: The Quarry's Movie Mode Lets You Beat the Game without Pressing a Button
Director's Chair is a fantastic idea, I'm in. I never replay these games, so this gives me an entertaining way to see sequences I missed.
Re: Abandoned PS5 Dev Quietly Deletes Tweets Pertaining to Project
There never was a game, it was a grift from the start. I don't know if it's money laundering or what, but these "devs" are legit con artists.
Re: Wattam Studio Funomena Forced to Close if Funding Isn't Secured
Let them close. Hopefully the devs will find other work and their boss won't. Leadership is a journey, give me a break. It really doesn't take that much effort to be a decent human being.
Re: Oscar Nominee Jessie Buckley Leads the Cast of The Devil In Me
I've really enjoyed most of these, but never finished House of Ashes. I thought it was a bit of a slog, and disliked all of the characters. I'll definitely give this a go though.
Re: Embrace the Dark Side with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Villains Trailer
@ApostateMage Or is just doing his best Sean Connery.
Give me this game now, please and thank you.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Available Now, Overhauls Parties, Lets You Pin Games, Much More
I doubt we'll ever see folders or, especially, themes. It messes with their idea of the hub and cards, which I've found to be pretty useless.
Re: Is the Dream of Online Competitive Quidditch Over for Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, PS4?
And I am super thankful for it. Keep toxic competitive multiplayer out of my single player games, please.
Re: Evil Dead: The Game Returns with Kandarian Demon Gameplay Trailer
I'm a big Evil Dead fan, and very hopeful this turns out groovy. Looking good so far.
