@AdamNovice Granted Peak is only $8, has a fun and simple gameplay loop and can run on almost any PC out there.
Sony's ported PC games were generally full priced and were a bit more demanding spec-wise.
Speaking of Peak, the game is fantastic. I've played it with some buddies and it's always a good time.
I do think running Linux on a PS5 is a really fun concept and I'm curious to see what else it allows people to do, and the performance capabilities it unlocks.
I've tinkered with Linux before but would really like to deep dive into it more, especially when the Steam Machine does release.
@SMJ I know ISPs are different from each other, but sometimes you can use your router to setup a 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz band so you can still connect devices that only use 2.4. Could be something you could look into.
I still think GoG has some of the best DRM around where you can buy a game, download it either on their launcher and play it there or you can download the exe for the game and play it whenever you want without any launcher or internet connection at all.
It's a shame that Sony is going down this route, and the silence from them makes it worse.
In all honesty it would be easy for Sony to issue a statement about this, but their communication is pretty terrible with regards to problems. But hopefully this is just an error and not a policy change on how they tackle DRM.
I really like the art they have for the vinyl record, and the plushies are really cute.
I have a soft spot for FFX, I remember playing it as a kid and enjoying it a ton. Since the game is going to be 25 years old this summer, I should really give it a replay since I haven't touched it since the PS3 version released.
I do find the argument of "Xbox needs Playstation" and "Xbox games sell so much more on Playstation then anywhere" kinda tiring when both Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 both underperformed sales wise, and they released on the PS5.
Also Xbox won't leave Steam cause they already have their games developed for PC in mind for the PC Game Pass, and they've had their games on Steam for years. Also Steam's market is just too big for them to ignore.
People are going to get upset over this, but if this gets Microsoft to be able to be a competitor in the console market again, it's good for everyone cause competition is good, it helps push companies to innovate and compete with each other.
Definitely looks good and I do like a lot of updates and QoL features they're adding. I haven't touched Black Flag since it released wayyyyyyy back on the PS4.
SF6 is turning into a pretty loaded cast with its dlc roster. I've always thought Tifa would have fit really well in Tekken but I'll definitely take her being in SF6.
The core loop of Hellidvers 2 is fun, don't get me wrong, I just don't care for how grindy it is to unlock warbonds. I kinda checked out from the game a while ago.
I actually like the character with the scar's design a little more then the grey hair character but that's just me. I'm sure they're just being used as the "base custom character" design for trailers and whatnot.
The extra content looks great, but I have a feeling it's going to be like half the price of the game, knowing how Bandai Namco prices their fighting game DLC.

Re: Zenless Zone Zero Fires Back at NTE with Stunning Season 3 Reveal Trailer
I played a teensy bit of NTE the night it released and I like it so far. I still have to try ZZZ but I'll play it sometime down the line.

Re: 'You Can Play Your Purchased Games As Usual': Sony Breaks Silence on PS5, PS4 Game Expiry DRM
Took Sony long enough to say something lmao.
Re: 'Our Job Is to Charge Way, Way, Way Less of the Value': GTA 6 Unlikely to Cost $100+ on PS5
The fact that GTAV is still in the top 10 sales charts means they can price 6 however they want, it'll sell bucket loads.

Re: Steelrising, GreedFall PS5 Dev Spiders Is Reportedly Soon to Close
Shame they can't find any buyers since Steelrising had a unique setting for a Souls-like.
Re: Dawnwalker Is PS5's Most Promising RPG, Chomps Down on September Release Date

Re: Resident Evil Requiem's New Mini Game Update Seemingly Imminent
@Scottyy I decided to do some Mercenaries in Re4 Remake after beating 9 and the combat does feel better in 4 Remake.
Re: PS1 Classic Rugrats: Search for Reptar Returns on PS5, with 5 Other Games
The ps1 games are rough but I'm glad they're being made available again.
Re: PS5 Confirmed to Be Affected by Game Expiry Issue, Sony Still Silent on DRM Worries
@Fizza I actually do remember that ad lol, and I remember the backlash Microsoft got when they announced it for the Xbox One.

Re: Pragmata's Diana Hacks Resident Evil Social Pages, and It's Just Adorable
That's a really fun way to advertise it to fans of Capcom's other IPs.
I have 16 hours in Pragmata and the game is phenomenal.
Re: Final Fantasy X Turns 25 This Summer, as Square Enix Opens Special Website

The game looks like a fun Metroidvania, I added it to my wishlist.
Re: 'This Feels Like Nothing Else Out There': Saros Devs on Making Another Standout PS5 Exclusive
Great interview.
I do find the "returnal-like" comment funny cause Returnal is, at the end of the day, a roguelike with a high budget and pretty graphics lol.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 630
Continue Pragmata, the game is fantastic and I'm really enjoying it.
Re: GTA-Like Action Game Samson Is Coming to PS5, But We're Much Less Excited Now

Re: It's Been 84 Years! GBC-Inspired Adventure Mina the Hollower Is Finally Ready for PS5 Release
I backed the kickstarter so I'm hyped
Re: Zenless Zone Zero's Next PS5 Update Adds New Characters and Teases Major Mechanics
@Nepp67 It is via their own launcher but I don't like having 50 different launchers on my PC for different games lol.
Granted I will give NTE a try even with their own dedicated launcher.
Re: Zenless Zone Zero's Next Update Adds New Characters and Teases Major Mechanics
They also announced they're releasing ZZZ on Steam, so I'll finally give it a go.
Re: Xbox Is Flip-Flopping on PS5 Again, and It's Truly Getting Tiring
I do find the argument of "Xbox needs Playstation" and "Xbox games sell so much more on Playstation then anywhere" kinda tiring when both Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 both underperformed sales wise, and they released on the PS5.

Re: Elden Ring Movie Leaks Galore as Multiple Filming Clips Are Posted Online
@DennisReynolds It does feel like it's a telling of the events leading up to the game, which sounds pretty cool.
Re: SEGA to Revive Old IP Like Outrun, Streets of Rage, and NiGHTS in New SEGA Universe Project
I still occasionally boot up Nights and play a level or two, so I'd be down for a new game.

I really do want to give this game a try but I'm hoping they can fix up some of the issues.

@Artois2 A horse that gets hungry enough will always return to eat.

Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Is a Huge and 'Faithful' Remake of the Pirate Classic, Out on PS5 in July
Definitely looks good and I do like a lot of updates and QoL features they're adding. I haven't touched Black Flag since it released wayyyyyyy back on the PS4.
Re: Bubsy 4D's Free PS5 Demo Will Let You See for Yourself Whether It's Any Good
I really enjoy Demon Turf/Tides and I liked the demo they put out on Steam for the new Bubsy, so I'm looking forward to it.

I'm hoping this game is good cause it sure looks promising.
Re: Tekken 8 Fans Furious as Tifa Tipped for Street Fighter 6 Instead
SF6 is turning into a pretty loaded cast with its dlc roster. I've always thought Tifa would have fit really well in Tekken but I'll definitely take her being in SF6.
Re: The MindsEye Saga Never Ends as Devs Accuse Studio of Violating Their Privacy
I feel bad for the peeps at the studio that had to deal with this and the loony lead of the team.
Re: Helldivers 2 Continues Its Brilliant Run of Post-Launch Content with Another Warbond on PS5
The core loop of Hellidvers 2 is fun, don't get me wrong, I just don't care for how grindy it is to unlock warbonds. I kinda checked out from the game a while ago.
But hey, more power to everyone still playing!
Re: 'IP That Will Captivate the World': A New Juggernaut Has Just Entered Japanese Game Publishing
Here's to hoping they can make it work!
Re: PS Plus Value Called into Question as Xbox Slashes Game Pass Price
Gotta give props to Microsoft, they're doing it the right way by dropping the prices after changing some of what it offers.
Re: Random: Pragmata Has a Fun Surprise for Patient PS5 Players
I'm almost finished with Mouse PI and once I am, I'm starting Pragmata!
But it's always fun to see Capcom adding easter eggs from their other IPs into their games.
Re: With Pragmata Out, This Vapourware Indie Title Is the Only Unreleased Game from PS5's Reveal
Oh yeah, I legit forgot that Pragmata was shown off in that old showcase.
Re: Elden Ring Becomes a Movie in March 2028, Cast Revealed
They didn't cast any of the "actors that appear in everything" so I feel they're moving in the right direction.
Re: Akira Toriyama Worked on PS5's Dragon Ball XenoVerse 3 Before His Passing
I actually like the character with the scar's design a little more then the grey hair character but that's just me. I'm sure they're just being used as the "base custom character" design for trailers and whatnot.
Re: After 8 Unbeatable Years, Dragon Ball FighterZ Adds New DLC This Week
Arc System's art direction is just so timeless. The game is from 2018 and it still looks so good on the eyeballs.
Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero DLC Invites 30+ New Characters in Massive Expansion
The extra content looks great, but I have a feeling it's going to be like half the price of the game, knowing how Bandai Namco prices their fighting game DLC.
Re: PS5's NTE Blows Up Gacha Norms with 470 Free Pulls and No 50/50
This is the one gacha game I want to give a try. I've always been tempted to try others but just never got around to them.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 629
I'll keep playing Mouse PI. Enjoying the game a ton, I want to finish it first before starting Pragmata.
Re: Low-Poly Stealth Throwback Revives PS1 Metal Gear Solid Vibes for PS5
I remember adding this to my wishlist on Steam a long time ago. Would like to give it a go sometime down the line.
