I'm super interested in what games will be available in the higher tiers, if the library is better than the current Now library, I'll be all over this.
I'm a sucker for this cyberpunk/Judge Dredd aesthetic and I need more local co-op stuff so I'll probably pick this up while it has the Plus discount price.
I'm playing through Cyberpunk 2077, I just got the bike and now I'm loving it. I've no idea why but it's taking a while for me to get used to the driving when in first person. It's much easier in third but I'm trying to learn it in first as I don't like the viewpoint switch. I bought the Steelseries Arctis 7P+ headset and I literally played all night until 6am I was so immersed. Lol gotta watch that.
Besides that I want to play some WWE2K22, Nier Replicant I bought on sale, maybe finally try some Elden Ring, and Anno. Looking forward to Ghostwire Tokyo early access tomorrow after work!
I picked this up on pre-order, looking forward to playing it. Checks all my boxes. I got this as something in-between play sessions of more intense & immersive games. 6 is a little disappointing but I think I'll enjoy it plenty.
Well, it sure is a game. I'm genuinely surprised they finally got someone to willingly review this. Super disappointing to see from both Square & Platinum. This game looks like it was a no budget game that should've just been cancelled but Square wanted to try to recoup their money. Hopefully this isn't the nail in the coffin of Platinum.
I played for a couple hours.... definitely is just pretty much Final Fantasy Souls. So many cutscenes at the beginning, literally 10 minute intro cutscene, tutorial, 15 mins of cutscenes, then the mission. Seems pretty fun, not nearly as punishing as a Souls but pretty fun. May try to pick this up eventually after I finish some other stuff like Ghostwire Tokyo.
@nomither6 by fake, I mean it's not a legitimate competitive contest. The outcomes are predetermined. The physicality & such is real and done in a trained/disciplined way so they don't injure each other too badly.
It is in the sense that in WWE, it's the highest paid league. There are other companies particularly in Japan but also elsewhere with more experienced, more disciplined, & higher level talent than in WWE but when it comes to getting paid the most for your work, WWE is the top earning company.
Professional wrestling is really an unappreciated artform, the skill & craft it takes to pull off the things they do every week, live in front of thousands in person & millions on TV, with little margin for error is impressive to me. A lot of people don't like it simply because they either don't get it or they got fooled into thinking it was real as children & now resent it. It's complete gaga fun. It's not serious, it's like if superheroes existed in real life. I enjoy it for what it is, which is some very talented & capable athletes doing ridiculously fun & athletic & daredevilish things to entertain me. I love it & have no shame in that. People are coming around to it nowadays when they open up to the idea of liking something that's so nerdy to admit you enjoy. It's really simply just fun if you let go of these notions of it being "fake." You don't ***** talk a movie or TV show for being fake, so I never understood the reasoning for holding it against professional wrestling.
I've been playing this for the past two days & it's absolutely bonkers fun. It's better than 2K19 easily, the best thing they did was introduce combos & trash the whole 3 reversal limit. It's so much more fun to play & feels more like a real match. Super fun multiplayer & GM mode is fun but has some weird flaws. The best wrestling games ever made are still WCW/NWO Revenge & No Mercy...AEW hired a bunch of people who worked on those for their game, so I'm super hopeful it's good. This game though is my favorite WWE game on modern platforms & will be a great local multiplayer game for my roommates & I. Highly recommended!
@Amusei 2 and 3 were already 60fps on PS5 and even PS4 Pro I'm pretty sure. They had uncapped framerate if I recall and ran at like 1800P or so. Hopefully with this upgrade they're native 4K maybe some raytracing too.
@Kang81 I don't understand why you think it's getting a pass. Like I said when people love a game & connect with it, whatever issues it has become very miniscule in contrast. Issues become minor when the game does so many other things well. I don't know how else to express this, that when you love a game, a few issues just don't bother you much. You're aware of issues but they're very small compared to what you love about it. That's just what fans do. Fans of Nintendo & FromSoft love those games so much that things like a few performance issues are very minor & doesn't affect their enjoyment of those games. It's not "giving it pass" to not be overly bothered game's issues especially if they're minor.
@Kang81 I'm confused why you even care about how games are perceived if you don't play them. Does it offend you or bother you that people love Elden Ring or FromSoft games? I genuinely don't understand why other people's opinions matter about this. You shouldn't let things like this bother you, just play the games you like, enjoy those games, and talk about why you like them. There's really no reason to argue against critical reception or player perception about games you don't play. Because in the end, it won't change people's opinions. When people really love or enjoy a game, they're willing to overlook some of it's shortcomings because all games have them. All of them. No game is perfect, someone, somewhere will always fault it for one reason or another. I promise you, all your favorite games, there's somebody out there who disagrees & has a list of it's shortcomings. But if we love a game, they tend to not bother us because it connects so much with us.
@KundaliniRising333 I think you're really blowing it out of proportion. It's an overreaction to say you're a beta tester for this game, implying that it's unfinished or that FromSoftware did something wrong releasing it as is. I strongly disagree with your opinion of it being the same as Dark Souls 3, this game is beautiful visually & it's open world, which is much harder on systems to render as opposed to single linear levels like past games. This game is also cross-gen so unless you're playing it on PS4, you should notice how good it looks visually in contrast. I am confused by you even buying this game if you had these opinions already, as you said this game has beta tested & plenty of gameplay footage has been out, so you must've known the engine they were using & visual presentation before owning the game.
I'm confused as to why everyone cares so much about the praise being heaped onto this game by critics & players. I will say, you say all this isn't bothersome then you go on to list all of the above as problematic. I'm playing the game and none of what you listed is bothering me or hindering my gameplay experience at all. And it seems that's the same with almost everyone else playing it. I'm sorry all of the above bothers you, but to imply that people are giving this game a pass on things just because they think so highly of it, is kinda like saying "your opinion is wrong & this is why." If people and reviewers like a game, let them like it, no reason to argue against that unless the critical & player perception of the game really bothers you that much. Just enjoy it for what it is, which by my & many other's accounts is an amazing open world video game that's a true evolution of the FromSoftware style.
@KundaliniRising333 weird, it hasn't been nearly that bad for me in the beginning. Definitely not that affecting nor does it really bother me that much. Sorry you're so affected by this because this game so far is a certified banger.
To everybody arguing over review scores.... all reviews are different. It just depends on who's reviewing it but it really drives me mad when people get hung up on the number given. Reviews are subjective & reflect one person's taste. A purely objective review would be very boring.
I'm super hype for Ghostrunner. People are a little off though because this version of the game was never on PS Now. Only the PS4 version was, which I played through PS Now when I still had the service. I've wanted to try out the PS5 version for awhile now, have thought about buying it on sale, & I'm glad I don't have to now.
@JohnGrey Oh here we go with the dude who gets all hung over the number on the review rather than it's actual content. Comparing the numbers at the end of reviews rather than the content & context within them is surely more absurd than the PS review staff. The numbers are just there.... most reasonable patrons here recognize that some "8's" are better than others & likewise. All "8's" are not equal. So chill out & get a grip with how ridiculous you sound going on about "unironically listening Captain Beefheart" & whatever you're talking about.... all because a review of Cyberpunk 2077 was "ONE NUMBER LOWER THAN HORIZON!!! HUUUAAHHHH!!!!"
Listen, I understand the reasoning to compare sequel iterations but whoever said Resident Evil 1-6 are basically the same game.... bad take. 1-3 are similar, 4 changed things up dramatically, and 5-6 are what they are & are very different. Like I don't think 6 is anywhere close to the first 3 games, it's almost incomparable.
But I understand your point.... sequels don't need to completely change the formula. When that formula gets stale or stops working, I understand the reason for changing things up. But when you have a wildly loved & successful first game in a series, the sequel should build from that & improve the formula, when Horizon gets a few games in, I can understand maybe trying to switch things up on a fundamental level, but not on your first sequel, that's when you alienate your audience & the people who made your first game a success....HFW is a great game and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, I feel like some people just hamper their enjoyment of games by being hypercritical but that's their right. I think most of us understand that HFW is a great game & that 90% of the people playing it know what they're getting with it & are loving it. I know I am.
I'm really looking forward to this and even more to the Witcher 3 PS5 version. Especially after finishing the second season of the show, I'm dying for another playthrough after already putting 200 hours into the base game & the expansions. Blade Runner, Heavy Metal, Strange Days, Ghost in The Shell, Akira are some of my favorite movies & Jean "Moebius" Giraud is my favorite artist..... so I'm dying to like Cyberpunk, it feels like one of the closest & most realized games of that genre.... so I'm praying for this to be great.
1440 and VRR would be wonderful too. But I just want folders and themes personally on the my collection/installed tabs. So the pin ability & the longer game stream is welcome. I'd really love to use themes again. I had at least a dozen themes on PS4 & I very much miss the ability to switch between them.
And there's a difference between me "joining in" and me commenting on things when I feel it's warranted. Several people came to your defense about your comments being racist and all the stuff you said after was just combative & trying to bait them into an argument/get a response, especially the apology comment. So that was why I felt the need to call out the irony of you saying "I can't pander to everyone's sensitivities." I'm sorry the response you received, wasn't the one you were looking to get.
@Loftimus it's really hard for me to take your comment about "I can't go pandering to everyone's sensitivities" seriously when you then say things like "who do you think you are?" & "no apology or nothing?" It's just weird to imply they're being sensitive but then exhibit similar sensitivity. But you seem to make a lot of weird comments and that's okay I guess.
Listen, I spoke up and I think most regular people here realized it was reaching to say your comments were racist. I think your comment was also reaching but regardless, you're entitled to your opinion. But my point is, your comment wasn't racist & there's no need to really go on the defensive because it was pretty clear to most that it wasn't racial in nature. Your whole defensive stance was more of you being butt hurt & offended & being, I dare say, sensitive. Even when the guy conceded & was cordial, you once again had to follow it up with some potshots. So while not being racist, you seem just as sensitive as those who've offended you.... just something to think about.
@ATaco I'm sure the guy probably would have said the same about British devs if he felt they were doing the same thing. Either way, not racist. A bit weird, sure. But gamers can be very weird.
@WallyWest your take on his comment is reaching just as far as the guy's take about Polish developers. His is because there are Polish devs like Bloober Team who put out great games that are exactly what they say they are. Your comment is because his issue/problem with them isn't specifically that they are Polish but because of false promises he feels those devs have made.
Maybe on a deep sale someday, it just doesn't have much that excites me at all. Plus SIFU comes out a few days after it, which looked more fun & something to play before the onslaught about to come out.
I only got 7, kinda upset I got the Spyro question off by a year. I could have swore it came out in 97. This test was a little weird though as many questions were just about random games that are multi-platform so it wasn't really about specifically PlayStation stuff, just a lot of random stuff. That's okay though, these are fun.
I played this on Switch after IGN gave it a rare 10/10 review and it was really, really good. Wonderful story and lore, so I may double dip on this. Hopefully it has some upgrades from the Switch version.
@Grimwood your response just seems like you're trying really hard to be edgy & argumentative. Using words like disgusting & such.... about a jumping horse. Lol ok 👌 do you.
Finally playing through the remainder of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition on PS5 through backward compat. The 60 FPS and the HDR on my new TV really make it almost a new experience, loving it. Just took out the Deathbringer, which I was stuck on when I originally put it down. I'm glad I came back to it in time for Forbidden West, can't wait for it!
Besides that, one of my roommates & I played some matches in Guilty Gear Strive & holy guacamole is that game beautiful & fun. My favorite fighter probably ever.
Might try to play a little Spider-Man Remastered & finish Iki Island in GoT Director's Cut.
@nookie_egg Lol you realize that Disney technically owns Spider-Man and all those characters right? They'd be buying Sony just for the movie/television rights back. They licensed both Spider-Man & Wolverine out for those games to Sony.... it's why they've made sure to include "Marvel's" in front of all recent games.
@RevGaming by trying to bait him, you're asking him obviously insulting things "does it make you feel good..." which is pretty much you implying a flaw in his character by being interested in such things.
That's not you stating your thoughts or giving an opinion on NFTs, it's you directly asking him about his motivations while framing it negatively.
I tend to switch between games a lot on the PS5 I recently got just to check out the experiences, that being said...
I'm about to finish up RE: Village, I'm at the Factory now. I got through the story of GoT and now have the Iki Island expansion. Then, continuing my playthrough of Spider-Man Remastered and looking to start Demon's Souls proper. I also want to playthrough Horizon before Forbidden West hits but last I played I was stuck at a particularly hard boss and just stopped, kinda scared to return lol. It's a three day weekend from work for me, so should get some good time in!
@Rural-Bandit I like the Dual Sense more the the Dualshock but for PS4 I bought the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller that had offset sticks like Xbox controllers and it was SOOOOOOO much better. Xbox and the Switch Pro controller are so much more comfortable. The second that a PS5 controller that's decent is released with offset sticks, I'm buying it. All the ones released right now are cheap dollar store knock offs.
@Jaz007 I highly doubt they're rushing to get a PS5 at all as there is only like, 3 or 4 PS5 exclusives at the time of this writing. Rift Apart, Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Deathloop are the only I can't think of and you can guarantee those will hit PC because those cost a ton of money to create & Sony isn't making much from them because they're all kinda niche games on a console they aren't able to produce many of
@Col_McCafferty dude, grow up & do away with this tribalism nonsense. It doesn't matter what system you own or where you play your games at, we are ALL a community. Smh I'm not even going to ask your age but these games are either old, have already sold what they are going to sell at retail, or are going to be PS5 exclusive niche games. Niche games that are exclusive to a console most people can't buy & Sony can barely keep up production on.... so Sony figures who cares if Returnal goes to PC? No one bought a PS5 for Returnal and I imagine not even a large fraction of current PS5 owners actually bought it. So does it really effect anything if it gets ported to PC? If Sony wants to go sell another million or two copies of an old or a niche PS5 game for full retail price, it's not the end of the PlayStation or console gaming. Console gaming will always be the prevalent gaming method with casuals and believe it or not, casuals make up a huge if not the majority of console owners. It's why sports games & COD & GTA are forever the top sellers and are usually primarily played on console. PS exclusive games from a few years ago that already sold 10 million copies going to PC will never change that. Get some perspective and common sense

So that was why I felt the need to call out the irony of you saying "I can't pander to everyone's sensitivities." I'm sorry the response you received, wasn't the one you were looking to get.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?
@Loftimus it's really hard for me to take your comment about "I can't go pandering to everyone's sensitivities" seriously when you then say things like "who do you think you are?" & "no apology or nothing?" It's just weird to imply they're being sensitive but then exhibit similar sensitivity. But you seem to make a lot of weird comments and that's okay I guess.
Listen, I spoke up and I think most regular people here realized it was reaching to say your comments were racist. I think your comment was also reaching but regardless, you're entitled to your opinion. But my point is, your comment wasn't racist & there's no need to really go on the defensive because it was pretty clear to most that it wasn't racial in nature. Your whole defensive stance was more of you being butt hurt & offended & being, I dare say, sensitive. Even when the guy conceded & was cordial, you once again had to follow it up with some potshots. So while not being racist, you seem just as sensitive as those who've offended you.... just something to think about.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?
@ATaco I'm sure the guy probably would have said the same about British devs if he felt they were doing the same thing. Either way, not racist. A bit weird, sure. But gamers can be very weird.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?
@WallyWest your take on his comment is reaching just as far as the guy's take about Polish developers. His is because there are Polish devs like Bloober Team who put out great games that are exactly what they say they are. Your comment is because his issue/problem with them isn't specifically that they are Polish but because of false promises he feels those devs have made.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?
Maybe on a deep sale someday, it just doesn't have much that excites me at all. Plus SIFU comes out a few days after it, which looked more fun & something to play before the onslaught about to come out.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 2
I only got 7, kinda upset I got the Spyro question off by a year. I could have swore it came out in 97. This test was a little weird though as many questions were just about random games that are multi-platform so it wasn't really about specifically PlayStation stuff, just a lot of random stuff. That's okay though, these are fun.
Re: Looks Like Detective Game Paradise Killer Is Coming to PS5
I played this on Switch after IGN gave it a rare 10/10 review and it was really, really good. Wonderful story and lore, so I may double dip on this. Hopefully it has some upgrades from the Switch version.

I'll give UFC a shot, might be fun to play with my roommates
Re: Elden Ring Looks Utterly Essential in PS5, PS4 Gameplay Showcase
@Grimwood your response just seems like you're trying really hard to be edgy & argumentative. Using words like disgusting & such.... about a jumping horse. Lol ok 👌 do you.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 410
Finally playing through the remainder of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition on PS5 through backward compat. The 60 FPS and the HDR on my new TV really make it almost a new experience, loving it. Just took out the Deathbringer, which I was stuck on when I originally put it down. I'm glad I came back to it in time for Forbidden West, can't wait for it!
Besides that, one of my roommates & I played some matches in Guilty Gear Strive & holy guacamole is that game beautiful & fun. My favorite fighter probably ever.
Might try to play a little Spider-Man Remastered & finish Iki Island in GoT Director's Cut.

@MFTWrecks If you took the bait, do you really have a valid criticism?

If people didn't click on the bait, it wouldn't exist. So his advice to not click on it, is the best thing you could do.
Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover
@nookie_egg Lol you realize that Disney technically owns Spider-Man and all those characters right? They'd be buying Sony just for the movie/television rights back. They licensed both Spider-Man & Wolverine out for those games to Sony.... it's why they've made sure to include "Marvel's" in front of all recent games.
Re: We're Sure Everyone Will Be Calm About SEGA NFT Trademark
@RevGaming That's fine that you have that opinion, mine isn't much different, but we are all allowed to like things for different reasons.
I love collecting rare comic books. I desire them lol. So I guess that's similar to this NFT thing
Re: We're Sure Everyone Will Be Calm About SEGA NFT Trademark
@RevGaming by trying to bait him, you're asking him obviously insulting things "does it make you feel good..." which is pretty much you implying a flaw in his character by being interested in such things.
That's not you stating your thoughts or giving an opinion on NFTs, it's you directly asking him about his motivations while framing it negatively.
Re: We're Sure Everyone Will Be Calm About SEGA NFT Trademark
@kyleforrester87 He's just trying to bait you into an argument 🙄
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 409
I tend to switch between games a lot on the PS5 I recently got just to check out the experiences, that being said...
I'm about to finish up RE: Village, I'm at the Factory now. I got through the story of GoT and now have the Iki Island expansion. Then, continuing my playthrough of Spider-Man Remastered and looking to start Demon's Souls proper. I also want to playthrough Horizon before Forbidden West hits but last I played I was stuck at a particularly hard boss and just stopped, kinda scared to return lol. It's a three day weekend from work for me, so should get some good time in!
Re: Gorgeous Action Game GetsuFumaDen Is Probably Coming to PS5, PS4
Yes please! The art style looks incredible
Re: Looks Like Apex Legends' PS5 Version Will Release Soon
@Rural-Bandit I like the Dual Sense more the the Dualshock but for PS4 I bought the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller that had offset sticks like Xbox controllers and it was SOOOOOOO much better. Xbox and the Switch Pro controller are so much more comfortable. The second that a PS5 controller that's decent is released with offset sticks, I'm buying it. All the ones released right now are cheap dollar store knock offs.
Re: Hands On: God of War PC Is a Great Way to Play a PS4 Classic
@Jaz007 I highly doubt they're rushing to get a PS5 at all as there is only like, 3 or 4 PS5 exclusives at the time of this writing. Rift Apart, Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Deathloop are the only I can't think of and you can guarantee those will hit PC because those cost a ton of money to create & Sony isn't making much from them because they're all kinda niche games on a console they aren't able to produce many of
Re: Hands On: God of War PC Is a Great Way to Play a PS4 Classic
@Col_McCafferty dude, grow up & do away with this tribalism nonsense. It doesn't matter what system you own or where you play your games at, we are ALL a community. Smh I'm not even going to ask your age but these games are either old, have already sold what they are going to sell at retail, or are going to be PS5 exclusive niche games. Niche games that are exclusive to a console most people can't buy & Sony can barely keep up production on.... so Sony figures who cares if Returnal goes to PC? No one bought a PS5 for Returnal and I imagine not even a large fraction of current PS5 owners actually bought it. So does it really effect anything if it gets ported to PC? If Sony wants to go sell another million or two copies of an old or a niche PS5 game for full retail price, it's not the end of the PlayStation or console gaming. Console gaming will always be the prevalent gaming method with casuals and believe it or not, casuals make up a huge if not the majority of console owners. It's why sports games & COD & GTA are forever the top sellers and are usually primarily played on console. PS exclusive games from a few years ago that already sold 10 million copies going to PC will never change that. Get some perspective and common sense
