the state of gaming saddens me

not one of them has been worth a purchase so far. might pick up Crimson desert and 007 when they are cheap. But game of the year they are not.

since when are there monsters in any gundam property

@lazarus11 poor optimization is the subject of the article. I was pointing out that it is happening across the board this generation. Which is a problem surely.
I wont fault a spade for being a spade.
The game combat is great by the way. a real step forward.
But the game lacks substance. It is not the devs fault as such, although they themselves say the story is lacking. its the fault of society and its satisfaction with constant scrolling, shallow media, lack of concentration etc. One could say this is the bi-product of cultural indoctrination. Regardless the Devs made a game to suit the masses. The masses don't seem to want to engage with something wholeheartedly. Instead opting for constant stimulation.
It is a concerning trend.

Optimisation this generation... Seriously.
what is going on?

2026 is not even here yet and Sony games looking rather dull. For me at least. Wolverine might be alright but that's it. The others don't interest me at all.

Anyone else feel like the PS5 is only just getting going?

this is not an anime

unpopular opinion I'm sure but..
When this was announced I was quite curious. Sadly the more i see the less interested I am.
what seem to be the core mechanics do not interest me at all. such a shame. for me at least obviously

@z0d15g0d totally agree. animation style was disappointing. too friendly and a bit warner brothers sadly. these stories deserve a better styling.

@Moj500 wow. As a consumer i have every right to be annoyed with games that don't run well. You really shouldn't go around attacking people for stating that simple fact. Or attacking people at all really. I have said nothing about Sony or you for that matter. Do you not think there is any possibility this is going to lead to further complacency from devs in the ongoing optimization problems we are seeing across the board. Might they just think, 'well the PRO will do the heavy lifting for us' and not bother doing a better job.

@Moj500 didn't know i was supposed to just put up with a vast amount of poorly optimised games

@TechaNinja ah , fair enough. i wasnt going to enter into a debate about it. If they do not agree there is little i can say to convince them. such a shame. good looking out though

should state 'we can't be bothered to make our games run properly, so you need to spend 700 quid to experience them as they should be'

@IamJT
the first hub town you go in to has such blurred graphics. 720p at best surely.

@CallMeDuraSouka
Honestly i have the same opinion. only about the ps5. which i sadly bought.

@Drago201
funny you should mention that era. Because in built up areas that's exactly what it looks like. ps3 graphics. such a shame.

Apart from the few obvious ones. which i already own. These are the least essential picks i have ever seen.

Other than desperation driving me, due to lack of other games to play. I see nothing worth it really.

wow, more crap

shame its not a more intriguing studio but still, love the Avatar world

not interested in any of them. As usual

sadly i'm often pulled in to day one buying, due to the lack of other games to play. I don't like horror, souls like or pixel art. So this limits choice most of the time.
Never paying 70 quid though. i find that price way too much.

If money were no object, sure.
It feels like the console we should have got. Instead of the scam we were sold. The one where we have a console that cant play the games for it well. (MOSTLY)

honestly its disgusting how we have to wait months for a released game to be in an acceptable state. the resolution alone is enough to ruin my experience.

“strong long-term performer”
So does that mean we can't expect this game to be improved any time soon?

Looks good. But... Jin's story was what i was looking forward to. we shall see

@PegasusActual93 sad but true

another souls like....

wow, what the proverbial pile of poop

What are people talking about. you can not buy digital games for Playstation anywhere else. So they dictate prices with no alternative.

@UntilRespawn . thank you for clarifying that. I find it a bit exhausting trying to explain what seems obvious. nice one

well, another sale without one single game worth it. good times. This is what happens when you have the monopoly on digital sales.

one of the weakest generations ever. i feel totally ripped off and let down.

@Intr1n5ic ah cool. no i don't have a subscription right now. probably why i'm not seeing it.

@Intr1n5ic just wanted to see the full sale. i did notice that Returnal was still showing its full price though. cheers for replying dude

@Intr1n5ic is that on the console or website. because I'm still not seeing it. Also is it in the deals section?

i am in the uk. Not seeing this sale on the console or the website?

@__jamiie
I know right. Does this mean devs are not even going to try to sort out the poor optimization problems we are seeing.

ahh the console capable of what they promised the ps5 would be at launch

what's happening with FSR3?

Amazing... yes.
Of course they are.

intrigued by a few there, but honestly none are day one

Honestly, I enjoy playing this game more than so called better games. That said, a world so centred around personal visual expression where you can't actually see yourself doesn't make sense. Also.. no white hair, they dropped the ball there. And augmentation is a big deal but you cant have fake boobs, no sense either..

exteel revamped for playstation please.

About a 7 for me.
suit selection was absolute garbage. stuck with original suits almost the whole game. The next game needs a customise suit option. would make you feel more like your own spiderman identity.
game length was too short for me, but i get that the way it was structured meant any longer would have been tedious.

@Hilbion.. way to aggressive buddy, I'm talking about a game genre here, not attacking you...
The market does seem saturated with the genre does it not?
So millions of other developers there are not. Even less when you discount horror or pixel art games.. Seeing an upcoming game that looks interesting get coined a souls like is gutting to me as this generally means its main quality being its hard And with little story. Like a single player mmo. Even down to quite simplistic and clunky combat. there are exceptions obviously. A rewarding experience needs more than just 'it's hard' doesn't it?
With so few decent games on ps5, and games taking so long to make now. I find it all rather disheartening.

@Mikey856 .Are they actually part of the games though. I mean in a way that actually seems joined to your cinematic journey. From what i hear, you really have to go out of your way to find meaning to the worlds. Which for me doesn't cut it. if I'm playing a video game, i prefer an actual visual/ audible experience.

sick of souls like in general. stop making these games. It would free up time to make games with decent combat and engrossing story.

yay.. horror and farming. what un-sarcastic joy.
another lame month. Honestly i feel more and more ripped off by this generation
