@Striker21 I'm not a Sony fan boy by any stretch of the imagination but what I've read across various platforms and general industry figureheads is that it's been a failure and returned nowhere near the investment. Staff numbers reduced, projects cancelled etc etc. Just going from bits that I've read. Im no expert on the matter ππ»
@Porco You can define all you like. The metric the actual person reviewing and Push Square define a 7 as a good game. Why do people wet the bed at a 7. Thousands of very enjoyable games get a 7. I get it if you only want to play the best of the best but that doesn't mean you should trash games that get a 7. Just my opinion, ofcourse your entitled to yours. 7= good.
I definitely don't feel as though the PS5 has been pushed to its limit. Wether that's due to poor optimisation or being held back by games still releasing on PS4, I don't know, im not tech savvy enough to have a fully informed opinion on it. Just think there's more left to do with the current gen.
@liamcroft Great review. Im actually delighted it's stuck so closely to the original game. I can almost feel your enthusiasm whilst reading this review. Well done.
Doesn't matter if this game is good or not. The pile on started a long time ago. Social media now decides if games are good enough or not. Don't get me wrong, im not a fan of live service games etc but I am a fan of letting games get released first then let's make a fair judgement.
@EfYI I know hence why I purchased it. It just sticks in my throat that it's not really what I thought it was going to be. So the only option I have to let Sony know we're not pleased is to not stay at that level. I agree with you though, most folk will just go to Premium for the minor increase
People just need to clean their PS5s more often. I do mines and the kids consoles every 6 months. Even just the basic clean without removing the fan will make a big difference. I bet there's loads of folk who haven't given their console a basic clean since purchase.
Edit. Original quoted article states they cleaned it recently so maybe not that in this case tbf.
Very childish behaviour deleting perfectly reasonable and measured comments. No engagement or reply. Can you at least give me the decency of an adult reply as to why you have removed my comments? Is disagreeing with the original thread creator really grounds for removing my comment under the guise of "discussing moderation" ? I respect your right to have a different opinion from mine, that's fine. I would expect the same common courtesy back in a civilised conversation no?
@Questionable_Duck That's what the tech costs if you want a premium VR experience. I get it though when you first see the price. It's an amazing piece of kit that's very under appreciated. Niche product for VR enthusiasts. It's not for everyone, I just can't stand the unjustified pile on regarding available games. Plenty of good quality games for it. Just a shame Sony didnt back one of their one products......again. I'll be playing mine for a good few years still π
Premium hasn't lived up at all to what I thought it would especially regarding the classic titles that I thought we'd get. Thought I'd get more time with the PSVR2 games so their removal is particularly disappointing for meπ
@Cres_Waven1 Please see previous comments debunking this. It's not comparable at all. 93% or thereabouts of PlayStation games can play directly from the disc.

Re: PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer No Longer Part of Sony's China Hero Project, First Gameplay Footage Is Jaw-Dropping
What about the how/why & pros & cons of this being pulled from the China Hero project? Apologies if this is a stupid question, just curious.

@Striker21 Yeah because that's worked out really well for Xbox ?

It was never a competition π€£. Shame TBH as good competition drives up standards and value for money.

They'll still be making games for the PS4 when this comes out along with a GTA 5 definitive edition
Re: Reaction: PS Plus Essential Deserves Much More Credit for Its Free PS5, PS4 Games in 2025
@themightyant yeah I get that. It just never lived up to the false hope I had of classic retro games that I had wished it was.
Edit. Now I also have a portal, if I want to cloud game I'll have to remain at premium π€£π

Re: Reaction: PS Plus Essential Deserves Much More Credit for Its Free PS5, PS4 Games in 2025
@nessisonett
Totally agree. This is how I feel. Essential and Extra are fine, not much to complain about. Premium I won't be renewing once it expires.

Re: The Midnight Walk (PSVR2) - Dark, Melancholic, and Hauntingly Beautiful
This is a buy for me 100%. As others have said already, needs a patch to optomise it better for PSVR2.
