All sounds good to me. Removing the loading screens makes a ton of sense and is a welcome change and giving how throwaway the modern day stuff was i can't say i will miss it.
I will wait until the complete edition drops for 20 quid or wait till it hits Plus. I like BL but not enough i need to play it when it drops. Dying Light The Beast is the game of the month for me.
@J2theEzzo I wouldn't really cool them Pokemon like games. You collect Persona's what are monster like creatures but while you use them in battle they don't work like Pokemon. Persona is largely a very story heavy social sim mixed with a ton of dungeon crawling and JRPG style battles. Shin Megami Tensei V (Persona is a spin off series of sorts from SMT and uses the same monsters) is more Pokemon like as the monsters play a bigger more active role and you explore big overworlds with monsters roaming around such that you can "catch".
@Rich33 Yeah i'm fine with a challenge and i don't have an issue with Silksong's overall difficulty but what i don't like is when my time is wasted for no reason whatever. That time running back to the boss could be spent fighting the boss.
The runback to bosses is slowly killing my enthusiasm, its easily the worst thing about the first game and its the same here. Its not hard going back to bosses its just boring and its wasting my time.
@Dan12836666 People are really overreacting to its technical state. Where was this passion for Elden Ring that released in a far worse state a state its still in.
@Ricky-Spanish Remaking it without Kojima would be a real challenge. Personally i would like to see Metal Gear remade and have it pay off MGSV but without Kojima it may not work.
9/10. Technical issues aside its a fantastic remake of one of the best games ever made. The new visuals are great, the new controls and QoL are welcome and overall its a pretty meaty package more so then Bluepoints version.
@rjejr Games are selling more then ever, Sony have made huge profits this gen, consoles wars are over, AA gaming has entered its 2nd Golden Age, Indies are stronger then ever, Switch 2 is killing it, Capcom are back in their prime, Baldur's Gate 3 exists, E33 exists. Gaming is pretty great right now.
@Ainu20 Other storefronts are crashing even if you're after something else so that's why Sony are holding out. They will most likely release it stages depending on region.
@rjejr Gaming has lost it way? For you maybe but this year had been fantastic for gaming. Also this game never flew under the radar, it was literally covered by all gaming media and Youtubers.
@RagnarLothbrok What a stupid attempt at false equivalency. Helldivers 2 has largely made up the vast bulk of its sales on PS5 and PC, it was never going to sell huge numbers on Xbox because unless you're Xbox only chances are you already bought it else where. 500K/600K is really good for Xbox giving the context its released in.
If we're going to compare let's compare lifetime sales because FF16 isn't even at 6M while Helldivers is near 20M.
Just about to fight The End. Yeah its a great remake, my main issues are the blurry res and it being a little too faithful but other then that its the same classic game just with better visuals, controls and tons of QoL improvements.
I find it interesting how the majority of people moaning about the performance on here haven't played it themselves to see. It is perfect? Hell no but its no where near the likes of Elden Ring or Oblivion. Its perfectly playable its just a bit rough at times, the bigger issue is more the blurry image in my opinion.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4 Remake Makes Big Changes, Drops Modern Day Story and Adds RPG Elements
@CutchuSlow If you want AC4 as it is then play the PS4 version. This is meant to be remake so it makes sense they would modernise elements

Re: GOTY Frontrunner Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Just Keeps Selling, Cracks 4.4 Million Copies
Well deserved. Easily my GOTY and one of the best games this Gen.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
Black Myth looked terrible on PS5.
Death Stranding 2 and Horizon Forbidden West are the gold standard this Gen for visuals especially if played on the Pro.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy's Conclusion Will Not Be PS5 Exclusive
Makes a lot of sense.
Re: Overlooked Elder Scrolls-Like RPG Tainted Grail Just Got a Gigantic Update on PS5

Re: GTA 6 Delay Caused Celebrations at Ghost of Yotei Developer Sucker Punch
I expect a lot celebrated the delay this year.
Re: Super Promising RPG Digimon Story Time Stranger Gets a PS5 Demo This Week
@J2theEzzo The Cyber Sleuth games are really good and well worth playing, they're basically Persona but with Digimon.
Re: Super Promising RPG Digimon Story Time Stranger Gets a PS5 Demo This Week
Don't need a demo but i shell play it just so i can get a small taste early.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Difficulty to Be Toned Down Following Player Feedback

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Difficulty to Be Toned Down Following Player Feedback
Just make the runbacks less annoying and boring is all i ask.
Re: Preview: Why Digimon Story Time Stranger Will Scratch Your Pokémon Itch on PS5
@get2sammyb Is it open world? Open Zone? Or more like the Cyber Sleuth games where its more like Persona in world and level design?
Re: Preview: Why Digimon Story Time Stranger Will Scratch Your Pokémon Itch on PS5
Got it pre-ordered as its easily my most hyped game of the rest of 2025. Really can't wait to play it next month.
Re: Review in Progress: Hollow Knight: Silksong (PS5) - A Silky Smooth Sequel Proving Well Worth the Wait [Updated]

@Jrs1 A website reporting on todays patch, they reported what Konami said.

Also Konami have revealed performance improvements are coming and that the Pro will see Performance and Quality mode toggles.
Re: PSN Service Playing Up, Minor Offline and Friends List Issues Reported
@4fold Make sure to set your PS5 as the primary console as that means you can play offline without needing to verify.
Re: PSN Service Playing Up, Minor Offline and Friends List Issues Reported
Can't play online and it won't let me download the new Indy DLC.

@Frmknst Overrated? So you played it then?
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Crashes Storefronts Like Steam, Not Even Live on PS Store
All this could have been solved if we were allowed to pre-order the game. Pretty ridicules to be honest.

Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta Patch Promised, But No Mention of PS5 Performance Improvements
@Jayslow Black Myth? You mean the mess of a game that has to framegen 60fps on console even the Pro from 30fps?
Unreal 5 is not a good engine and consoles struggle with it. These aren't rare cases it feels most games that use it have issues one way or another.
