Completely useless in this game. The story quests gives you more than enough exp so you won't be underleveled. Hell, the more abilities you have, the easier it gets. By the end, I was like power level 285 and was completely destroying enemies at power level 350.
I finished the story and I took out all members of the order of the ancients yesterday. I am done, I won't go back to this game. It was fun, but I am not going for the platinum trophy, too time consuming.
PS5 technically beat the switch everywhere. The Switch only "won" because the PS5 was out of stock. Had the PS5 been in stock, it would have won in every countries.
I bought the PC version. I am not going to buy a gimped console version for this, especially with the way it uses DLSS, I will be able to run this at 1440p/60fps maxed.
I am almost certain that the PS5 will win NPD in North America by a huge margin. Switch might win december and January, but as soon as the PS5 stock situation isn't going to be an issue, the PS5 will win every months and the Switch will become permanent second place.
Meanwhile Xbox will be third place 95% of the time with a second place once in a blue moon.
I heard a high pitch noise at some point and thought this was my PS5 for a second. Then a few minutes later, it happened again, but my PS5 was off. Turn out it was my old computer that I use as a media server and not my ps5.
It's not the case if you're using a wired connection (like any smart person would if they were able to). The speed is going to be exactly the same for me in this case, which is my full speed.
I can get bugsnax without paying for it, so I am happy. As for Middle Earth Shadow of War and Hollow Knight, I've already played them, but they're very good. Especially Hollow Knight, it's by far one of the best metroidvania game this gen, if not the best.
Amazon is shipping my copy today and I will receive it tomorrow or thursday. I thought of cancelling preorder because they were late and preorder on PSN, but I guess I made the right choice in keeping my physical copy. Now I have all 4 games on PS4 as physical copies. This is probably the last physical game I will ever buy too.
It's not like Phil Spencer is a pathological liar who can't seem to shut up. Oh wait, that's exactly what he is. I am sorry, there is simply no way the least selling platform can make those 7.5 billions back with those games even if you include PC. Sony or Nintendo could, but Xbox is just too small of a brand to manage to do so. They will end up third place again and Sony will outsell them at least 2:1.
Beside, it's not like Phil would admit it anyway, it would make him look stupid if he did (well he already does look stupid, but it's another matter entirely).
@ED_209 Yeah, seems to me the reason some games don't support it is because the developers are lazy. Sure however, the xbox fanboys will keep blaming Sony to try and make the PS5 look bad though.
I played MHW, but never got around to Iceborn. Will go back to it on PS5. Since it's framerate is uncapped, it will probably manage to hit 60fps on PS5.
Still no release date? What the hell? Is this like Code Vein where you're going to talk about it all the time, but it's going to take forever to actually come out?
I hope we get THPS3 and THPS 4 campaign DLC, that would be awesome. THPS4 might be harder because it was different, but they should definitely do THPS3.
Microsoft blinked first, now the PS5 digital edition will definitely be $299. They can afford to lower it that much because they will make a lot more money on games this time around.
That's not without counting money made from accessories and subs, along with the money they will still make from PS4.
If the XSX is $499, it means the PS5 will be $399 or $449.
Sony can afford to lower their prices, they're the market leader.
@I_Like_It It won't clear out in a heartbeat, just like every console launch, you will have a few hours. Of course, that's normally, Sony are making a lot more this time around, so you definitely have a few hours to get one.
What's hilarious is that MS actually think they have a chance of winning when they clearly don't. They seriously need to come to grips with the fact that all they will ever accomplish is distant last place.
@Jacko11 Not really, I am pretty sure 99% of those glitches can't be replicated. Meaning the people who got them are unlucky and wouldn't be able to do it again even if their lives depended on it.
I like them. Most of them only offer cosmetic microtransactions anyway and I never ever use them. Hell, I never use any other character models other than the original.
It will probably never happen. The game didn't sell well at all, so a remaster or a sequel is likely not even in their minds. This is something they got when they bought Insomniac that they will ignore and never touch.
@thebakerswife They will probably do it like Shadow of the Colossus, but change some mechanics to make it more on par with the new games.
Yeah, Shadow of the Colossus is the same game, but it was definitely remade from the ground up, you can't have this much graphical improvement with a simple remaster. Plus they fixed the controls (well, not completely, it's still horrible in the controls department, just not as bad).
@thebakerswife Well, Demon's Souls was the one that started it all, but even though it's an excellent game, it's actually pretty outdated and old compared to the games that came after. It would benefits from a remake.

Mark my words, Housemarque and Bluepoint games will be acquired by Sony eventually and probably sooner rather than later.

Re: Godfall PS5 Patch 1.04 Out Now, Fixes a Load of Issues
I am waiting for a sale to get this game. It will likely come pretty soon seeing as how messed up it is. Gearbox stuff always go on sale quickly.

I have a PS5, now I am trying to find a Pulse 3D headset. They're sold out everywhere too (along with charging stations, but I got one of those).

Re: PS5 Download Speeds Are Definitely Faster Than PS4
@Pandalulz 400mbps is my full speed here and it's what I get when the PS4 isn't in rest mode.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered Adds Five New Trophies on PS5
Will the DLC and remaster DLC trophies count toward platinum or do you just need the regular trophies for platinum?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?

Re: Will PS5 Support 1440p Screens? Fans Are Eager for Answers
If you're going to have some games running at 1440p, the least you could do is support the damn resolution.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
I hope something like Universal Media Server or Plex work on PS5 too.

You will probably be able to transfer it from PS4 to PS5 and play it on PS5 this way.

Re: PS5's User Interface Runs in Native 4K with HDR
The xbox fanboys are already saying how it's a waste of ressources. The damage control because their UI is bad and run at 1080p is already starting.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Takes Four Seconds to Load on PS5, 22 Seconds on PS4
Sony is showing gameplay for next-gen games, meanwhile Microsoft keep showing BC stuff.

Re: For Honor Is Heading to PS5 with Free Upgrade
That game was free on PS Plus, so I guess everyone who grabbed gets a PS5 version for free.

Re: Godfall Gets Its Best PS5 Trailer Yet
Does this game not have any UI or they just didn't show it yet?
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Will Run at 4K, 60FPS on Xbox Series X, No Word on PS5 Version
The difference in power is very small. So if XSX can run it at 4K/60fps, so can the PS5 and at the same graphical fidelity too.

It's the same as Microsoft. It's also up to publishers on Xbox, it's not all games.
Re: Bluepoint on PS5 Reveal: It's Time to Leave Our Old Gaming Limitations Behind
